The_Rob posted:Not really. Daniel Bryan was guy who said no than guy who said Yes. Character of underdog really doesn't need much. i hate when people say this because it's so vague it's kind of meaningless, but i feel like daniel bryan had real charisma. even when he's just being lovely at gardening he's a lovable guy. sami not so much.

Sami was super lovable as El Generico. They should put him back in a mask.

Sami has tons tons of charisma. He worked ten years under a mask where his character was generic wrestler and the fans never turned on him for a decade. Wwe just doesn't know how to book.

Either we get WWE badly trying to explain the Bullet Club to get some heat, or we get them not explaining it. Or we get them joining together in a heatless program. Win, Win, win!

Sami is absolutely likable, in what loving universe is he not likable? He could scarcely be more likable and endearing if he tried.

If it took Jinder Mahal winning the title to will the Balor Club into existence, that will be ok with me

Sami Zayn is a talentless hack who relied on mocking foreigners to get over.

He used to be a joke character named el Generico who was from Tijuana Canada and spoke exclusively grade school Spanish and it worked for him for an entire decade.

RacistGuidingLight posted:It was unexceptional, and not in an unexpected way. It was disappointing none the less. Chuck him on the pile of Vinces broken toys. What do you want from us? Debuting wrestlers 101: give them a huge win over someone established, and look dominating in doing it, to make it instantly apparent "oh poo poo this is a man", and have it lost not more than five minutes What not to do: have the debuting wrestler be on the defensive for most of the match, kick out of finishers, make a comeback, and then win - it makes the established one look dominant and the debut look weak They simultaneously wanted to make Shinsuke look strong but also make sure that Dolph looked strong too. And unlike take Shinsuke v Sami from NXT where the strength came from a constant back and forth and where both men ended up exhausted, whoever agented this said "lets give Dolph most of the match, and Shinsuke the babyface comeback" It was a terrible booking that if they wanted to keep Dolph strong they should've either put someone else in there or just said "go out there and beat each other the gently caress up like Sami did" but instead did John Cena booking.

Since I had been to two different Smackdown tapings since Nakamura's debut, I already saw Nakamura vs. Ziggler TWICE before the PPV. It wasn't Nakamura's debut to me, therefore not a Big Deal.

Was Sami/Corbin so important that you couldn't have just sent Sami with Nakamura and just let them do the match from Dallas? I really don't get it.

Also Kenny is a decent promo, has a pretty good look and is arguably one of the best workers in the world. The only thing AJ had that he doesn't is USA TV recognition, and I'm not sure how big of a factor that was on getting AJ pushed. By the way, please chill. The match had bad agenting, but it didn't instantly destroy Nakamura's cred oh my god send him back to japan now, It was just weird. People have bounced back from worse.

I liked the chain wrestling bits at the beginning of the Ziggler/Nak match. It was just weird how much offense Dolph got. Felt like a mid-feud match not a big debut showcase

My favorite Nakamura match was his Wrestle Kingdom match with Ibushi but to be honest the only thing I concretely remember from it is Ibushi's insane springboard German suplex. So I guess my point is thank god Ibushi escaped after the CWC so that WWE couldn't ruin him like Nakamura and Tozawa.
