The AJ/Nak match was heading in the same direction their WK9 match did except it ended at the half way point when AJ hit the styles clash and didn't continue for another 10-15 minutes. It was the booking imo

Onmi posted:I'm of two worlds. that match was a fuckin dumpster too. played up to both guys weaknesses (just doing the same poo poo over and over), having roman kick out of five f5's is just insulting. it's just so desperate and grasping and there's just no where to go from here. he just needs to go away for a long time and come back completely different. this version of "roman reigns" is so hosed up beyond repair there's no saving it. every day he's wearing that stupid vest and coming out to the shield music is just playing into sunk cost fallacy.

Also the "WWE's rockstar" thing is just so dumb when you have Elias, English, and even Jericho running around.

Ragnarok the Red posted:The crowd not even giving a poo poo about Roman getting beaten up anymore speaks volumes. We were tired and were more interested in the beach ball shenanigans going on around the ring. STAC Goat posted:I genuinely can not imagine attending a 5-7 hour wrestling event. Like, add in getting there early, giving yourself some time to explore and take it in, and travel... I've gone to a lot of games and concerts and even some tournaments and festivals and I don't think there's anything I enjoy THAT much. Tip: Make sure you get your kids plenty of Coke and popcorn, but be prepared for many bathroom breaks and tired cranky kids that have to go to school the next day.

super stoked that both Roman and Cena's storylines were "I can beat all these scrubs so I'm going to poo poo talk a real Tough Guy and call them a punk rear end bitch for not showing up at my whim" and then both of them getting annihilated when the Tough Guys actually did show up

CubsWoo posted:When Vader got arrested in Kuwait it was during a series of sold shows bankrolled by rich oil tycoons, they’ve done shows like this off and on for at least 20 years and the idea of “rich middle eastern royal/businessman vastly overspends on spectacle” isn’t exactly a new concept I'm not saying that isn't the simplest answer. I'm just saying we're living in a world where US Cabinet members are getting busted on a weekly basis for weird rear end corruption stuff and bribes and from one angle what we got here is the family business of a US Cabinet member making a big show about working with folks tied to a corrupt foreign power. So, you know, non-zero chance "The Greatest Royal Rumble" becomes a New York Times headline in the near future.

It was an overall good and fun show up to roughly the point where the Daniel/Shane vs Kevin/Sami match happened, at which point apart from a brief uptick for the Braun match, the show just felt like it had completely run out of steam. The baffling main event has also left many viewers just kinda half-confused, half-laughing.

Silly Burrito posted:We were tired and were more interested in the beach ball shenanigans going on around the ring. My dad once took me to a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium when I was a kid. That's the closest thing I know. But we skipped most of the second game and got me home to sleep for school and just stayed around long enough to show me for the first time all the lights on at night and to play a game with a guy way far away in the quasi-empty stadium throwing paper airplanes back and forth to see if we could clear the field. I still have the ticket stub and can picture that night scene with the lights and it makes me choke up and smell my dad's cologne a little bit. I can only assume that's the best explanation for attending a Wrestlemania and I just don't get it because I wasn't into wrestling as a kid and don't have kids into it now.

None of my three are really into it, but my youngest enjoyed the hell out of the first two hours or so. And little ears hear the crowd, so when a six year old girl yells "Kick her in the nuts" during the Charlotte/Asuka match, all you can do is try to make sure they don't see you laughing.

Kevin (now) Steen has been doing Twitter fuckery ever since the firing angle started, I wouldn't read too much into it. Nakamura is fine (please don't always bad shinsuke), this match was just paced...weird. I can't put it on him or AJ, and prior to the Rumble he kinda did...nothing (feuds with Corbin, Jinder and Ziggler and some multi-man matches).

Shinsuke's turn makes a lot of sense if they're planning on having a World Championship match with him and Bryan at some point between Summerslam and the end of the year. Face Knee2Face vs Heel Knee2Face must happen.

Nakamura's turn makes sense booking wise. I think it just fell a little flat because the match didn't have the big time battle feel that would have sold his frustration or the fake respect spot. The match just wasn't good enough for the post-match angle.

I don't think the show ever rose above passable and often dipped below bad, and even the decent matches had subpar booking. I think AJ/Nakamura was one of the better matches, but most people agree it was pretty disappointing and felt like it ended right as it was ramping up. The one exception was, ironically, steph's match which was fun all around.
