April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738331 Reigns's promo was going spectacularly. Then this business. But definitely smells like a turn.
April 5, 20169 yr Author comment_5738335 Asshole Roman is amazing. No idea what that segment was supposed to achieve though.
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738337 Reigns's heel mannerisms are fantastic. Seriously just turn the guy
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738338 I like the way they are burying AJ Styles by having him in segments with the champion of the world
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738339 How the hell did Apollo Crews get a call-up when he hasn't done jack shit in NXT?!?! Titus is getting them 'deavors?
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738340 He also finally looked comfortable for the first time in forever. Makes a huge difference.
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738341 Another short to the point segment with Reigns backstage. This is how you book him
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738342 Now Corbin, there's a guy who really didn't need a call up. He comes off a lot better as the big fish in a small pond doing an indy-hating gimmick, than he will being a tall skinny-fat guy in the land of monsters without that same hook.
April 5, 20169 yr Author comment_5738345 Whoever wrote Corbin's script needs to be fired out of a cannon or something. Woeful.
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738346 I know we're way past WWE working this way (if it ever did), but the #1 contender's match is three guys who just lost (including one guy who went 0-2 on the weekend) plus Jericho. Shouldn't the #1 contenders be like, Sheamus, Brock, Corbin, and Taker? Seems like a means to do a quick Jericho-Reigns feud until Brock's back, but the setup of the match was unbridled butt.
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738349 My mother: "Why are they booing Roman? I've never heard him get booed before!"Ho boy.I use my mother as the casual fan barometer to see what gets through or not. She couldn't tell that he got booed last night because they muted the crowd so much. So I guess they've semi-successfully hid the backlash from a certain section. Until now.
April 5, 20169 yr Author comment_5738350 were they chanting "limb work city"? Apparently a beach ball was confiscated during the commercial break to huge heat so I think it may have been "Beach Ball City!"
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738351 He's so Diesel. Dead on, and I can't believe we haven't discussed the parallels more (unless I missed it somewhere).
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738355 Holy shit. Nobody cares about Zack even for one day.OK spoke too soon. They're being nice.
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738356 All the chants and cheers/boos in that Corbin match were for the beach balls in the crowd
April 5, 20169 yr Author comment_5738360 Have they turned off the crowd mics or is this building dead?
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738368 I honestly think it's just that they don't give a shit about Zack. Him winning the title was a nice moment, but the next day when it involves Zack being on TV, cutting promos and defending the IC Title... God love him, but this came from absolutely nowhere as a pure Lifetime Achievement Award thing.Whether he makes it out of this match or not, it's not going to last much longer.
April 5, 20169 yr comment_5738371 Apparently Vince had this quarter hour in mind when he said the show would tank.
