cowboy hats Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 I'm just happy to see a non-title, non-Taker singles match at WM
WingedEagle Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 They're working hard, but I'm really not digging Jericho at all. We'll see what Styles can salvage.
Childs Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Well, Jericho hasn't been as disastrously bad as he was at Fastlane. Small favors, I guess.
JerryvonKramer Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Is the Ole chant a new thing in the US? Always seen it as a more of a British rugby chant if anything.
TheBigBoot Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 This IC title line-up is staggeringly bad. If everyone was healthy/not suspended then based on who was/wasn't been featured on TV I'm pretty sure we'd have gotten Cesaro, Neville (he was even involved with Owens a bit) and maybe Titus instead of Ryder, Sin Cara and Stardust. Still... Wish they weren't so reliant on sticking a load of people in these multi-man spot matches. This one had some impressive highspots. Cara' s big dive to the floor was the best of them. Overall, I liked it better than it looked on paper. I think because unlike the last few MITB type matches there really were multiple realistic potential winners (I was expecting Mix). Polka dot ladder and surprise win made it for me. Just hope this is an actual attempt to turn the bad run of injuries into a push for someone new and Ryder doesn't just drop the belt back to Ownens tomorrow or something.
JerryvonKramer Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Not as bad as the Fast Lane match so far, but Jericho's character work feels unnatural.
FMKK Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Is the Ole chant a new thing in the US? Always seen it as a more of a British rugby chant if anything. Rugby? To me it's always been associated with football. Jericho seems spent out there. Time to take it home.
WingedEagle Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 I hate Jericho and this match almost as much as Old Man Parv hated the ladder match. Jericho is the shits. At least AJ is getting paid.
Jimmy Redman Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Is the Ole chant a new thing in the US? Always seen it as a more of a British rugby chant if anything. In this case it's a chant specifically for Sami, from back when he was El Generico on the indies. Smarks have brought it to NXT and WWE.
goodhelmet Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Posted April 3, 2016 AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho Early on, dueling AJ Styles - Y2J chants. Crowd was dead early on but picked up after the first Walla attempt. Huge pop for the Styles Clash. Crowd completely bit on all the near falls. Crowd actually popped huge for the finish.
topropepodcast Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 How many of Styles's finishers have they blown through tonight?
WingedEagle Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Fuck everything about this match. I hate Chris Jericho and I hope they give him the Blue Blazer gimmick next month.
FMKK Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 There is literally no rationale for that finish.
jackwebb Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Man AJ really needed to stand up for himself at some point and say no to Jericho wanting to counter everything.
JerryvonKramer Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 I have nothing to say about that match. Booking is puzzling. Is the Ole chant a new thing in the US? Always seen it as a more of a British rugby chant if anything. Rugby? To me it's always been associated with football. Jericho seems spent out there. Time to take it home. They do do that chant in football too.
Johnny Sorrow Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 The feud is built around Jericho not liking the chant? Yeah, let's cheer those writers! Jesus fucking Christ. Its actually one of the best booked angles if you actually watched the shows.
Matt D Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Playing Catch up. Cole's lack of genuine emotion for the Ryder win was brutal.
goodhelmet Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Posted April 3, 2016 Holy shit. .. 80000 plus just went fucking INSANE for New Day.
C.S. Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 AJ is already "just another guy." Hate to say it, but I totally called it when all of you were busting a nut over his arrival. Knew it wouldn't last, and it didn't.
goc Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Who would have thought that Ryback would wind up having a better match at WrestleMania than AJ Styles?
WingedEagle Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 The feud is built around Jericho not liking the chant? Yeah, let's cheer those writers! Jesus fucking Christ. Its actually one of the best booked angles if you actually watched the shows. Or arguably one of the worst involving "major" stars in quite some time.
