Slasher Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Wouldn't the logical strategy for Rollins is to immediately get himself disqualified in the US title match to preserve himself for Sting? Surely the WWE title is more important to him right?No, he has to prove himself to the Greatest WWE Superstar Ever in History so he'll do two 20-30 minute defenses. The greatest superstar ever punted points in an Ironman match to gain an advantage. Surely he would understand this strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic isnt always good entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Don't we have one or two people here really into Rollins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpst Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 It seems like basically every major Cena opponent does the sarcastic Five Knuckle Shuffle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childs Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I hate the tree-of-woe double stomp. It so blatantly requires the opponent to hold himself in an unnatural position to take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I hate the tree-of-woe double stomp. It so blatantly requires the opponent to hold himself in an unnatural position to take it. I hate it too, except for in trios when the partners hold the guy up. I actually kind of liked this one because it looked like Rollins was standing on Cena's hand (held on the top rope) to keep him there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 If anyone is interested I'm doing a live blog on Segunda Caida. So far a really enjoyable show with nothing blowaway, but a couple good TV matches. Thing I've been most impressed with is the direction as they're replaying all the right things, moving on from the things they should be (like that spike DDT on Rusev that saw his head nowhere near touching the mat). http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2015/09/wwe-night-of-champions-2015-live-blog.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an ill-conceived spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 John Cena vs. Seth Rollins - This was a fun match but, man, I hate that Davey Richards tribute act bullshit. I think it is sort of fucked up that Rollins has to fight two matches in a row and if Sting doesn't win, he looks like a bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposer Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 John Cena vs Seth Rollins (US Title) - I thought this was real good. I loved the decisive finish. I was shocked at Cena hitting three moves to win. That needs to happen more often in WWE. The counters in this were great too even if I thought going for the Five Knuckle Shuffle several times is a bit ludicrous. Cena's such a fucking jerk.

WingedEagle Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Cena vs. Rollins - Good match that didn't touch Summerslam, but they couldn't go that hard with Sting having to follow. Crowd is hard on his match as it is. Surprised but impressed that there were no shenanigans at all in the finish. Really curious if Rollins or Sheamus leave with the title tonight. Hopefully Rollins. Cannot wait for him to turn face as I think he'll really excel there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 John Cena vs. Sting - This was turning into the best Sting match since probably 1998 up until the weird finish where Sting was either legit damaged or it was bad booking. Either way, I really liked the match until the ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
