theres a huge difference between enjoying a single segment that roman reigns played a very small part of after openly mocking an earlier one and thinking wwe has righted the ship and everything is going to be fine that first promo was reigns brazenly telling his doubters that he has been handpicked but it's okay because he always delivers which lol. I'm not even paraphrasing that's exactly what he said oatgan fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Jan 27, 2015 |

They could not have more clearly painted the picture that this was not the best Cena in the ring. Even if the finish didn't involve the arm, they went out of their way to point out the injury at pretty much every possible opportunity.

Yeah, the entire point of that is that you only have to say it once and you don't need to build the match around it. Just a "I'm so badly injured I need a hiatus" speech undermines the opponents victory and sets the tone going onwards.

Cena said that he didn't need to pin Brock at royal rumble to win but he is going to pin Brock to prove he is the true champ. *tries multiple times to pin Rollins*

Well, I'll take that over Cena proving he was the best man in the match but losing because he refused to pin Rollins, which now that I think about it I'm amazed that's not what happened.

Well you see the guys who write the promos and the guys who lay out the matches are two completely different groups who rarely communicate. In fact by all accounts the writers who do try to work with the agents end up getting punished for overstepping their boundaries.

The Cena/Heyman promos for the build to Night of Champions were all about Heyman urging Cena to embrace his dark side. It got brought up every Raw. Then, at the PPV, it was not part of the match at all.

If Reigns targets the broken rib, I'm all for it. Wrestling is storytelling and having continuity from match to match is a part of that. How many movies and video games end with a seemingly unbeatable foe having a weakness exposed and then the hero capitalizing? Also everyone is pretending that Lesnar will be dropped by one spear (despite the fact that he kicked out of three consecutive AAs), which I just don't see as happening. I would have preferred Daniel Bryan in the main event. We all would have. But sometimes the hatred seems to blind people into thinking that all things associated with the Reigns push are bad. Reigns and Lesnar will likely have a good match because both can move and Brock has not had a single bad match since his return (other than carrying a brain dead Taker to something passable).

Then, at the PPV, it was not part of the match at all. This was so bad because I was watching Royal Rumble 1995 and Bret Hart does exactly this to Diesel, doing lots of heelish stuff and going after his knees despite both being faces. It shows that the champion will do anything to win, but we all know Cena ain't no drat Bret Hart.

I don't remember the build outside of the bryan/cena promo the raw before the match. But in the match itself they point it out at the beginning of the match and cena does that fake out talking to the doctor, but then that ends up being nothing. Bryan didn't target that arm during the match, I think even when he does the yes lock he put his legs around the healthy arm.

Dexo posted:Nope, I just honestly think that Reigns will be fine so long as they stop scripting him like Cena Jr. Or rather Rock the Third. You think Reigns will be fine? How does any of this change the Rumble match, the blatant nepotism, or the simple fact he has not ever had an actual singles belt or won any accolades (I.e. MITB, IC belt) or a singles test push before being handed the keys? A green guy who isn't ready is getting the keys to the company car and you're fine with that because Reigns is more comfortable when he's not Cena 2.0? WWE fans

oatgan posted:theres a huge difference between enjoying a single segment that roman reigns played a very small part of after openly mocking an earlier one and thinking wwe has righted the ship and everything is going to be fine Yes and yes. I don't think WWE fixed it but that last segment was at least a step in the right direction of how to correctly utilize Reigns. Nothing more, nothing less. That first segment was AWFUL. Not for the "fans can do whatever they want" line that people harped on, but the swimming stuff and the basically no-selling the nepotism criticism. Also I'm vaguely intrigued that the 5 wrestlers on the show were Brock, Roman, Bryan, Seth, and Dean. Also Bryan's promo makes me feel like they're gonna do something big with him, mostly because he dropped the "I never lost that title" which for a face is usually a big deal but then again so is promising to win the Rumble and we saw how that worked out so pee pee doo doo fart I guess. Lastly if no one ever makes the battered wife comparison ever again I think that'd be great. It's kinda gross and is a really loving stupid thing to equate to something like wrestling which is a hobby for pretty much everyone who posts. People watch a show you think is bad, that's not anywhere near the same thing as going back to an abusive partner. I realize it's a colloquialism but I think it's an unfortunate one. Thanks for reading.  (In before "Yeah, you WOULD be bothered by that you battered wife you" posts) Paulocaust posted:The past 12 hours of this thread have changed my mind.

I'm sorry, but I just don't understand how your average fan can keep watching, especially after the Rumble. I personally haven't watched non-NXT WWE programming since Summerslam and have explored the rest of pro wrestling to find wrestling I do like and don't find disgusting. I'm not sure how a lot of fans continue to watch. That Rumble in particular, from all clips I've seen, feels like a finger poke of doom moment. Yet the fans keep watching. It's absurd to me.
