January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786031 cena vs Styles in the "can we have a better Omega vs Okada match" match. This is probably going to be a long one SEVEN STARS INCOMING ! (hey, it's almost 3 in the morning and I'd rather watch the Rumble match at this point. I am bored out of my mind)
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786032 "Papa Hales is my homeboy" Man Cena is definitely hoping to miss a wellness test from the looks of it. Really jacked

January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786037 Holy shit, those veins. Seriously ? Ok, I'm drinking to stay awake now.
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786041 I was very slow on the Styles train, but yeah, he's the best singles wrestler the WWE has had since Bryan retired, and he might be better then Bryan was.
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786042 I miss when John Cena worked good Face heel matches, and not Finisher Kick Out PWG Semi Main Event matches.
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786043 Wow, man...I'm actually liking all the near-falls in this one, and that's usually my #1 complaint about the current in-ring product. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a WWE-main event style match that much.
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786044 *sigh* Yeah... This is just not my style of match. No other excuses or statements. Others are going to really enjoy it. That's cool. But it's not for me.
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786046 If you are going to do a 30 plus minute sprint of power moves and finishes, that is how you do it.
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786047 I got home midway through, but it seems like they kinda had the same match as Summerslam with a different finish?
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786049 I've only been half paying attention to this show, but I actually really liked Cena/Styles. Much better than their Summerslam match.
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786050 I agree with all the PWG Cena criticisms, and yet I still enjoy watching those two. Can't help myself.
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786051 I only caught the last minute due to parenting duties, but I do like how Cena sold the win including the hug with Robinson.
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786053 Cena vs. Styles There is never a time I won't love these two doing their thing. I was concerned early as they basically went right into the big, non-finisher moves, but once it slowed down and they started selling this was great. Plus they didn't run too long with the finishers (at least compared with what they usually do). Love the AA & Styles Clash kickouts, loved the exection on the big stuff down the stretch, and loved how it was a super clean finish. A real highlight were Cena's lariats, which were built up and sold so well, featured terrific bumps from Styles and given time to really matter. Plus this absolutely makes the Rumble that much more of an open question. Loving this show. ****1/4
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786054 Styles-Cena: As always, to hell with any time the champ enters first. Surprised by how much more amped this bar crowd is for this than Owens-Reigns. Styles' entrance was their biggest pop of the night, Cena the biggest overall reaction (mostly boos and singing along to "John Cena Sucks"). Really good exchange of power moves and near falls in the modern Center tradition. The Calf Crusher into the STFU suggest why these two are cut from the same cloth. Crowd was uproarious for the Crossface. Loved the Figure 4 tribute: really cool, smart moment. The closeup shot of Cena's eyes launched a thousand GIFs. Crowd was split about 50/50 on the finish but went ape in the final moments. Very cool match, even if I'm worried about the title changing two weeks from now. Consider AJ's year, from entering the Rumble last year to now.
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786055 And to be clear, I liked the Summerslam match. They have great chemistry. Just felt very similar. (The part I saw. Will watch the whole thing tomorrow.)
January 30, 20178 yr comment_5786056 Loved that submission reversal sequence before the all the nearfalls started. And those lariats were nasty, where did they come from? Kinda wish Cena would have sold more at the end, rather than hulk up, but yeah, another great one from these guys.
