It's so funny to me how many wrestling fans that think they're smart come off so often as the marks they try so hard not to be. It's a weird dichotomy being an internet wrestling fan.
Example: Roman Reigns gets a big push in the main event of WWE. He's a good worker that has good matches. Wrestling fans turn on him, shit on him & say he sucks. Kazuchika Okada gets a big push in the main event of NJPW. He's a good worker that has good matches. Wrestling fans embrace him, say he's great & call him one of the best in the world.
Is the difference only that one is WWE and the other isn't? What is it about Roman that they don't like? I always assumed it was that they didn't want to be force fed and told who the top guy was, that they wanted the top guy to be the person that the fans selected, not Vince McMahon. But then that theory goes out the window when those same fans embrace what New Japan does. It's really odd to me.
I think there's a good chance that Roman Reigns Vs. Brock Lesnar is the best match of the night & it's a match that I'm really looking forward to. I actually wouldn't be surprised if we saw a Paul Heyman turn on Brock.
I think the AJ Styles Vs. Shinsuke Nakamura match is the one that a lot of internet fans will be looking forward to the most & I think it is going to leave a lot to be desired. Nakamura does nothing for me & has been pretty lame in WWE all around. Maybe the previous history & chemistry between the two will give Nak some motivation but if it just comes off as a Smackdown match with more finisher kickouts, I'm going to be disappointed.
I certainly wouldn't pay over $1,000 for a trip just to leave before the finale.
