September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699650 Wouldn't the logical strategy for Rollins is to immediately get himself disqualified in the US title match to preserve himself for Sting? Surely the WWE title is more important to him right?No, he has to prove himself to the Greatest WWE Superstar Ever in History so he'll do two 20-30 minute defenses. The greatest superstar ever punted points in an Ironman match to gain an advantage. Surely he would understand this strategy.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699651 Wouldn't the logical strategy for Rollins is to immediately get himself disqualified in the US title match to preserve himself for Sting? Surely the WWE title is more important to him right?The logical move would be for all champions to disqualify themselves in every match. Unless it is no DQ but I get your meaning. Logic isnt always good entertainment.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699654 It seems like basically every major Cena opponent does the sarcastic Five Knuckle Shuffle.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699655 I hate the tree-of-woe double stomp. It so blatantly requires the opponent to hold himself in an unnatural position to take it.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699657 I hate the tree-of-woe double stomp. It so blatantly requires the opponent to hold himself in an unnatural position to take it. I hate it too, except for in trios when the partners hold the guy up. I actually kind of liked this one because it looked like Rollins was standing on Cena's hand (held on the top rope) to keep him there
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699658 If anyone is interested I'm doing a live blog on Segunda Caida. So far a really enjoyable show with nothing blowaway, but a couple good TV matches. Thing I've been most impressed with is the direction as they're replaying all the right things, moving on from the things they should be (like that spike DDT on Rusev that saw his head nowhere near touching the mat). http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2015/09/wwe-night-of-champions-2015-live-blog.html

I actually kind of liked this one because it looked like Rollins was standing on Cena's hand (held on the top rope) to keep him there I saw that but Cena still had to do a sit-up and hold it. Just an ill-conceived spot.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699660 When you have to argue away gravity, it's probably not the move to do, yes.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699661 Someone has to tell Seth to stop doing that fucking superplex/falcon arrow spot. Fucking hate that shit.

September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699664 John Cena vs. Seth Rollins - This was a fun match but, man, I hate that Davey Richards tribute act bullshit. I think it is sort of fucked up that Rollins has to fight two matches in a row and if Sting doesn't win, he looks like a bitch.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699665 John Cena vs Seth Rollins (US Title) - I thought this was real good. I loved the decisive finish. I was shocked at Cena hitting three moves to win. That needs to happen more often in WWE. The counters in this were great too even if I thought going for the Five Knuckle Shuffle several times is a bit ludicrous. Cena's such a fucking jerk.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699666 It's easy to have a decisive finish if you're putting the loser over in the main event right after.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699669 Rollins finally gets to work like Honkytonk Man like he should be instead of like Blitzkreig on steroids.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699671 Why is an old man doing announce table bumps with the monitors still in the table?
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699672 Well, Sting doesn't look any worse than he did in the 1997 Starcade main event.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699673 Cena vs. Rollins - Good match that didn't touch Summerslam, but they couldn't go that hard with Sting having to follow. Crowd is hard on his match as it is. Surprised but impressed that there were no shenanigans at all in the finish. Really curious if Rollins or Sheamus leave with the title tonight. Hopefully Rollins. Cannot wait for him to turn face as I think he'll really excel there.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699675 Wait, doesn't this card deserve gold ropes around the ring instead of white?
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699677 Wait, doesn't this card deserve gold ropes around the ring instead of white? No that's too close to NXT colors.
September 21, 201510 yr comment_5699678 John Cena vs. Sting - This was turning into the best Sting match since probably 1998 up until the weird finish where Sting was either legit damaged or it was bad booking. Either way, I really liked the match until the ending.
