You can post all the gifs, smilies, & reactions you want, but I lost interest in this angle 2 years ago when Jimmy fell in line & they didn’t do anything within the bloodline for another 14 months. This angle has had more filler than dbz could’ve ever cooked up, a champ vanishing on tv for months on end repeatedly and rendering the rest of the show pointless (not to mention leaving raw without a world title or tag title scene for a year which made the entire 3 hours every Monday night entirely pointless) and now we get a 1999-2001 wcw type swerve. Evolution at its lowest point didn’t drag on this long.
I'll admit... It jumped the shark for me with the Roman & Solo tag title match... Like this shyt belong on Smackdown not PLE. Book an actual title match. Wtf

If Becky & Rhea both had a match tonight the event would still be going on and people would be complaining about that

Because at some point it breaks the suspension of disbelief. No other combat sport allows run ins every time the champ defends the belt and it’s made worse by the fact that the announcers don’t stay on that point and the guy who got screwed just moves on with his day. It’s the same problem that JBL’s run as champ had. When the finish to every match is entirely unsatisfying for several reasons that are all illogical, it leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouths and essentially nobody really benefits. Makes everyone feel like their time was wasted. Look at the match vs Cody. Solo interferes 3 times before the ref ejects him. Then Jimmy & Jey run in for interference spot #4 of the match before Sami & KO run them off. Then Heyman distracts the ref & solo comes back through the crowd for the ending sequence which is interference spot #5 of the match. Then there’s no follow up to that. It’s like if a story ends on a cliffhanger but there’s never any resolution to it.

We trying to hold a WORK to the same standard as a sport? It’s entertainment.

Yokozuna, Sid, Bret Hart, The Rock, Triple H, Orton, JBL, Jericho, Hogan in the nWo, etc…

When these motherfukkers retain clean?
