Roman gets the upperhand the show before Mania??

By law of WWE booking, that means...Brock retains. :stare:

Seriously, he explained it once.

(dont watch troy just youtube the Achilles fights, they're good fun)

In the movie he’s faking out his opponent by charging them but then jumping to the side and lunging. Roman doesn’t do anything like that though.

Also a Superman Punch is already a different MMA move.

Better than Tug of War I guess but at least that was funny. This was.....loving nothing.

Its also a legit MMA move (which is probably where they got it from for that bad movie)

The MMA punch is a kick fake into a punch, and named that because it looks like a Superman flying punch silhouette for a moment.

They’re going to look at the lack of boos toward Roman as a positive and double down when in reality, people just don’t care at all anymore, which is infinitely worse for them.

He should've done his other signature move, the someone-else-helps-me-powerbomb-Brock

Seriously, the crowd was hot for the opening segment, Finn/Seth, and Cena's promo. Brock comes out with Paul's :smug: meter turned to maximum, he poo poo on the fans, invoked Brock going back to UFC, poo poo on the talent, and hyped Brock's inevitable victory. And the best they could get for Roman was a tepid positive reaction from a crowd that was full on :dance: for Ronda & Kurt, Seth & Finn, and Cena.

God that movie sucked, but yeah the Achilles fights were cool. Best part was that they actually did a good job of hammering home that the spear stab was the ultimate finisher that couldn't be stopped, so that when Hector DID block it, it sold the idea that this fight was serious loving business.

I wish WWE could have that internal consistency sometimes. I mean, they kinda are by making it clear one F5 is all it takes, so that it is supposed to be a big deal when Roman kicks out of the F5 at Mania... except everybody can see it coming and nobody really cares.

I'll give them a modicum of credit if Roman kicks out of an F5 at a 1-count.
