Parties Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles Most choreographed match on the show and it was still mediocre. Way too many spots wedged in to make Jericho seem like "the wily vet" genius. Reminscent of 2000s HBK being depicted as the agile cat-like athlete while constantly blowing spots. So many moments where Styles had to hit awkward flimsy offense just so that Y2J could counter it. Calf Crusher was good: Styles Clash always getting countered wasn't. Finish was obviously terrible: hopefully Styles can now exit this feud and move on. Dome setting is great for this show: way better than broad San Francisco daylight last year. Feels like the biggest show of the year, and the lackluster card has over-delivered so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 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. Let's give it up for those writers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Puts over Fandango.... Beats AJ Styles..... At least we got those pesky indy guys out of the way early and can get to the real stars now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Really disappointed that Rusev did not come out in a tank and run over the giant Booty O's box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 The Jericho/AJ angle is fine on TV, but then all that work is negated when they get to the PPV and Jericho slops around all over the place, counters all of AJ's moves, gives him no shine, botches his shit, kicks out of AJ's finishers and then wins the fucking Mania match. Jericho is supposed to be the fucking heel, and here he is showing up the younger, flashier guy he's supposed to be jealous of and then beating him clean as a sheet. Get fucked.

Ricky Jackson Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Ole chant is used by the Montreal Canadiens hockey team, which I'm guessing is why El Generico/Zayn is associated with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said on Twitter, isn't it just ABC booking that the new guy has to go over the established guy on this major stage? They could have made a star. What did this make?

C.S. Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 League of Nations will win this for sure, just based on how the rest of this show has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the angle has actually been good but the matches have sucked. A fine reversal of usual WWE policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's also true, the semi-kayfabe reason for Zayn is the montreal connection and he may have chosen that music as Generico because of the Habs, but that I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
