I bet Ambrose will either get stripped of his title or get put in some giant match to lose the title tonight as punishment for Reigns.

Probably throw the Usos against all the Wyatts or something as well.

One of the Usos against all of New Day. The other Uso against all of the Wyatts. Dean Ambrose against all of League of Nations (minus Sheamus).

No Muscles For The Majority

DeathChicken posted:

Rusev is probably the best seller on the roster. Dude will take an ankle lock from Swagger and be limping around for weeks. He sells people getting out of his finishers like he just found his dog run over.

Yeah, his selling against Swagger was amazing.

Swagger put him into an early ankle lock. Rusev spent the rest of the match favoring that ankle, but it also affected how he did his finisher. He tried to put on the Accolade but his ankle gave out, so he did a "one leg" modification, which wasn't enough to keep Swagger down. The next time Rusev did the Accolade, he forced himself to do the normal version while grimacing like crazy to sell how much it was hurting his ankle, and when the ref stopped the match this huge look of relief swept over him.

It's one of the greatest things I've ever seen in wrestling. Rusev owns.

- Folks I think are flat-out boring: Del Rio[/url].

What's sad is that Del Rio can be one of their most convincing sadistic motherfuckers when they use him properly. He had some matches years ago against Christian and Dolph Ziggler where you'd swear he didn't care if he killed them in the ring.

The Ziggler match (Payback 2013) was a double-turn where ADR began the match as a face and Ziggler the heel. Ziggler was returning from a concussion and still selling it in kayfabe. ADR took advantage by hitting him square in the head a bunch of times and knocking him woozy, to the point where the ringside doctor checked on Ziggler (which IIRC ADR interrupted by kicking him in the head). The crowd started booing ADR and cheering Ziggler, and ADR just smirked at the crowd like "hahahaha gently caress you guys," kicked Ziggler's head again and pinned him.

I know the HHH thing is all kayfabe to be home with family but that powerbomb spot on the table looked pretty rough. Half reminded me of the bump Vince took off the cage when he landed smack on his spine on the table's edge and fractured his tailbone.

Wow most of those categories really drive home what a poo poo year this has been. Also having people vote via hashtags is the most pathetic thing.

It's going to be awkward when #Axelmania wins Hashtag of the Year.

Oh and I just want everyone to remember that last year the Usos won Tag Team of the Year but that award was given out on the preshow on the Network. If nothing else the tag team division's been elevated since that time.

After that match I really want to see Rusev get a face run at some point. I think he'd do great.
