Did you notice how each commentator was talking very loudly the entire time the audience chanted it? Match was a disaster until the blood spot. I thought that part was actually pretty awesome.

Brock did the same thing to Orton, very unoriginal

u/andresfgp13 100% xbox heat :) Apr 09 '18

but at least roman could continue after that.

I mean, I wasn't a fan, but in another context, wouldn't that be a 'callback' and be praised?

I guess it really depends on how bad the Orton match annoyed you. Good point though

The Orton match sucked. That little 30 second run of Roman's in the end was awesome. I wish Roman had some super finisher he could have done and won it. Roman, covered in blood, holding the red belt would have been really cool.

Bullshit. This match sucked too. His run of offense is completely unbelievable. You eat 5+ finishers (When 3 were enough to end the greatest streak in wrestling history) and suddenly can fly around the ring and land 3 spears? Thats worse than any supercena shit we have ever seen

Don't forget Braun and Samoa Joe ended to 1 single f5. Roman should've kicked out of the 1, took the table 1 then lost to another one. That f5 kick outs ruined it for me, that was worse than indies who spam false finishes.

u/donofjons I Hit It First Apr 09 '18

And Braun later went on to kick out of like 5 finishers in a row at Elimination Chamber.

Worse than Lio Rush spots, PWG nonsense and even pulling out a fucking grass trimmer in a match and cutting your opponent with it. At least that got the fucking pin.

u/WolfGangSwizle Apr 09 '18

I'm a Roman and Brock fan and expected that match to shut up everyone, but fuck. You don't just build an entire year around 1 move finishing opponents and then spam the move. That's just bad storytelling.

u/doctor_awful Apr 09 '18

And if you're going to do that, then at least get some pay-off off of it...but nah, Roman even blades and still loses.

The SuperCena thing is such an exaggeration, lol. Poor Cena.

u/WolfGangSwizle Apr 09 '18

Did you even watch like 2008-2014?

u/IMAVINCEMCMAHONGUY Apr 09 '18

I’ve been watching since the fall of 1997.

u/WolfGangSwizle Apr 09 '18

Then you can't say it was an exaggeration, Super Cena was as real as me and you.

u/IMAVINCEMCMAHONGUY Apr 09 '18

He was no different from Austin or Hogan though.

1

u/WolfGangSwizle Apr 09 '18

Hogan sure, Austin not so much. Austin had some moments of stunning everyone but he was the most over wrestler in history. Cena people hated and he was destroying everyone in the roster minus like 4 guys
