  • Brock really busted Orton open. That was a nasty gash, and rumor is homie did that on purpose because Orton botched something in the match. If that's true, Brock would have to get the beats backstage.
Or maybe a receipt for Orton's joke about not using enhancements the other week during the Highlight Reel.

Jericho: "You'll pay for that, Randy." :birdman:
Orton: "I probably will." :pachaha:

*fast forward to Summerslam*

???? I'm saying some fans have a hard time enjoying matches nowadays unless its the indy style of flips and moves spamming. Its why the Ambrose/Ziggler match is getting almost no praise and why workers like Reigns and The Club are underrated while Cena/AJ been inducing neckbeard gasms and smarks can't get enough of Rollins and Owens. What was hard to understand about that

I get the point you're attempting to make, but if fans were conditioned to indy style wrestling, they wouldn't be all that reactionary to it. The WWE have conditioned the fans to a bare bones style of wrestling, and it's been that way for a very long time. The Ambrose/Ziggler match isn't getting any praise because it was pretty bland and unremarkable, which is actually what the WWE conditioned the fans with. That's why they respond to guys like KO, Rollins, etc, cause they're doing something in contrast to the norm. The thing about a lot of these matches whether "indy" or "wwe main event style" is that they're missing true story-telling. Austin/Rock/HHH weren't doing a million moves in matches, but they also weren't just kick, punch, pause, finisher either. They knew how to draw you in and make you feel invested by the time that signature or finisher came.

just for clarification who are these posters asking for flippy shyt in the E?

No one, it's just some garbage narrative certain posters continue to throw out cause they're living some gimmick. Their train of thought is stuck in 2003 or something.

Owens and Sami had a great match with good storyline just last month too.

Yeah, Ambrose/Ziggler is getting no praise because of the lack of flips

Yeah that's the point I was getting at, just that people are now rejecting perfectly fine matches because its not the indy style. Its why smarks refuse to admit Reigns is a great worker and that's the toxic mentality I have a problem with.

Point out one botch as the fatal flaw for a 15 min match brehs

Can't win with some of you
The entire first 5 minutes was Dean having no idea how to go with amateur stuff. Then Ziggler sold leg work by holding is back. And then ignored both to jump around and do all of his spots anyway. And Dean did his spots. And in no order, with no flow, and no heat. They've had multiple TV matches and they have zero chemistry. That match was never going to be good.

i agree and its like that sometimes...sometimes wrestlers have no real ring chemistry at all...and that match was definitely not good..and im a person who despises spot monkey shyt so if they were flipping all over the place it would barely make a difference to me

They refuse to admit that because they're still mad about him being forced on them. It's nothing about an "indy" style.

Yep, Roman, the guy who went solo in June 2014 and didn't win the title until November 2015 was forced upon them, but Finn Balor, the guy who debuted in July of 2016 and won the title in August of 2016, was not.

Roman wasn't a great worker until recently, he never connected with the audience. In the shield he never spoke so what was their to like about him from a male perspective?

All of a sudden the quite guy who is an average big man at best is given a rocket on his back and you don't see the difference?

Finn made a name for himself in njpw then nxt, he has an amazing entrance and was apart of the hottest group in wrestling. Out of all those things Roman only has the cool group on his resume.
