roman beating sami was the right decision

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Not one elementary submission hold. No story telling, no real thoughtful use of the emotion in the building, just a f***in dude spamming spears, superman punches and kick outs.


Jesus Christ I promise I'm not knocking a single one of you for still following WWE. You are by far the truest and most loyal definition of fans I have ever seen because you have been forced to accept this mediocre degradation of the product from guys like Foley, Angle, Guerrero, Undertaker and Rock to a polished turd in Roman. And you just deal with it because you love the sport so much. You have accepted that this is what you get now and it does not dissuade the fact you're fans who follow what is going on every week no matter how bad it gets.


People my age who have been following for 20 years are singing in the rafters like it's Anfield and Old Trafford and their passion is wasted on a dude who is the acting equivalent of a dude who sits in a chair in every movie he makes and makes moaning noises and somehow he's hailed as the greatest actor of the age. You see 1 match with Roman you've seen them all. It took me about 3 weeks to figure it out and hate him as much as everyone else. We really are a cursed generation man

f*** you Vince. HHH was probably gonna put Sami over and it got nixed. I can't believe I actually fell for it.

Not putting Sami over was the correct decision, you don't end a reign like this on a B show.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Cody should be the one to beat Roman but NOT at wrestlemania.

They are so close to 1000 days you may as well hit the mark.

Not attacking you but can you explain why you feel this way? However Reigns' reign ends will likely not be as big as Sami winning in Montreal as the hottest babyface in wrestling in 8-9 years.

As I said you don't end a near 1000 day reign, on a B show, a month away from wrestlemania.

You end it on the big stage and elimination chamber is not, never has been, and never will be the big stage.

Hell, like I said above I don't even think they should end it at wrestlemania they are so close to 1000 days you may as well hit it.

The ONLY reason ANYBODY cared about Elimination Chamber was because it happened to be in Montreal, had it been literally ANYWHERE else on the planet nobody would have given a shit because It's not an important show.

But wouldn't making the title change at the Elimination Chamber make it an important show? Shouldn't that be the goal?

Maybe but why do it there when your biggest show of the year is next month?

Like I said I'm not even sure it should be done at wrestlemania but it sure as hell shouldn't be done before that.

If you did beat Roman before Mania what do you do with him at Mania? don't say split the titles because when he loses that's got to be it, he's got to lose everything, the titles, the bloodline, EVERYTHING.

Well I would have personally had Zayn win an Elimination Chamber match at the PPV to earn a title shot for Wrestlemania, where he beats Reigns.

But if the 2 options are Zayn beating Reigns for the title at Elimination Chamber or Reigns vs Cody at Mania (regardless of winner), I'm taking Zayn beating Reigns.

If Zayn wins in February, I don't know what you do at Mania. A triple threat perhaps. But not knowing what to do at Mania is not a reason to not pull the trigger on a Zayn February win.

Zayn has/had the special kind of buzz about him that rarely happens in wrestling and WWE didn't capitalize on it. I don't anything topping that to end Reigns' title reign.

Rhea Ripley is the best overall womens talent we’ve ever seen in the WWE.

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

Rhea Ripley is the best overall womens talent we’ve ever seen in the WWE.

Maybe if she had a finishing move. Rhea is awesome though for sure. But legit get a f***ing finisher.

 

[Sheppy]

Yeah, her finisher is complete shit. I agree with that.

I'd like to see her use a Jackknife Powerbomb or some shit. The Riptide is brutal.

The pump handle adds nothing to the fact she’s slamming someone from about waist level. Thumbs up from me on a really vicious looking power bomb.

An actual Jackknife powerbomb or a Liger bomb or Orange Crush powerbomb would be cool. Just not a Kevin Nash style Jackknife powerbomb.

Yeah, I was never a fan of Nash’s Jackknife. I always felt he was letting go of his opponent on the way up and it always looked sloppy. Zero consistency.

Ligerbomb/Spirit Bomb would be great. Rhea is a f***ing tank, so she can pretty much do it on everyone not named Piper Niven.

Rhea’s riptide hits me the same way Cesaro’s neutralizer did. Just didn’t look good to me at all.

I’m not sure what this may be called but I am picturing her picking someone up in a violent manner in a power bomb with a lot of speed on the way up, they and they’re kinda like way up there and struggling for just a half second before she absolutely f***ing plants them through the mat. Like I am bigger and stronger than you and you’re about to pay for it.

Yeah Nash also did the Jackknife like that - letting go of his opponent. What's it supposed to look like though? Who else does it? I've only seen it from Nash and searching it on YouTube only bring results up of him.

I remember Ripley doing the riptide on Nia Jax in this year's Rumble and it didn't look impactful at all. And they cut to some fan going crazy over it as if it was the craziest move ever.

I like the diving powerbomb or whatever it's called. Kind of like Jack Swagger's WWE finisher, with or without the gut wrench. I don't know if anyone else does it right now.

Sids power bomb at 2:25 looks awesome…

This is what I was thinking of. Do this, Rhea.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Im in the minority that liked Nash power bombs

Awesome and Vicious were the best tho

 

[GKJ]

Roman should beat Hogan’s number for longest title reign. Takes us to like October of 2024. Basically a year and a half after Wrestlemania 39

Mike Awesome. f***. What he could have been in this era.

A real Jackknife powerbomb is supposed to end in a Jackknife/Bridge pin. They slam the opponent down and then flip over them hooking the legs for the pin. Nash just did a regular release powerbomb and called it the Jackknife.

Rhea is so strong she could probably pull off Taker's Last Ride powerbomb.I would love to see her use that or a variation of it

Ohhh, yes. This. Please. I forgot about that one somehow. I really wasn’t watching then. That would be absolutely great. This is what I want for her now.

Scott Norton had a great one too.
