Childs Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 They're 2 for 2 on great matches. I hope they have something worthwhile for AJ now that Rollins and Reigns are going to be paired. If he didn't make his bones in those two main events, not sure how he would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...TG Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Wrestling twitter went quiet during the last few minutes, which is how good that match was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Match was good, but at this point Roman's push is reminding me of 1994 Hulk Hogan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I don't get what they're doing with Reigns at all. I don't think he sucks but is he a face or a heel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCS1988 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Rollins is back will face Reigns and lose. I don't see him dropping the title anytime soon unless the Money in the Bank winner is a huge surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raul Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 it might be impossible for aj and roman to have a match any less than 'good'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he was supposed to be the face but all he did was whine and bully Styles. Styles wanted to do it the right way but got bullied into lashing out at Reigns and the Usos. It's just a clusterfuck of booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Unbelievable. Reigns and Styles are absolutely two of the very best wrestlers going today. At this point I'm sold that AJ is an even more of an all time great than I gave him credit for a month ago, and the biggest victim of the TNA stink that exists. His bumping, selling, timing and explosive athleticism - even, and perhaps especially, at this stage of his career - were vital to this match. There aren't too many wrestlers on the planet who can deliver at that level. Â But Roman Reigns is one of them. He has the ability to sell a limb, sell accumulated damage, play a monster physical powerhouse or the freakish athlete. Vince Wilfork or Lawrence Taylor. Pick your poison. Babyface or heel, or as the case may be now, and for the best, both. I have no idea if he can move the numbers enough to be the next Cena. But he can absolutely deliver the goods in the ring at that level. Not halfway through this year he's part of my second MOTY (tonight) a couple legit MOTYC's below that level (Fastlane triangle match, Styles at Payback) and a slew of quality television matches since Mania. That's on top of being in 2 of my top 3 matches last year -- Bryan at Fastlane and Brock at Mania. Â The dude is amazing and can GO. I wish the AJ program wasn't quite over yet, but looking forward to the Rollins series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'd say Styles should feud with Cena when Cena comes back, but Cena will win his first match back and Styles should probably be programmed in something next that he can win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It' s one of the better and more refreshing feuds they've booked in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I could do with never seeing Jericho wrestle again after this show. I believe I read somewhere that this was his last match and that he's going away. Â Seriously Jericho maybe the worse wrestler in the world right now.

Eegah Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Really fun show. First few matches were good with the IC being great. Ambrose/Jericho was a shitshow, womens match was off and never got going. Main event was incredible, sad to see that feud end but Im sure their paths will cross againm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fando Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 funny that after all the anti-Roman chants the crowd shit on Anderson/Gallows run in. It still means something for Roman to get pinned clean, not just getting the belt off him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Sleeze Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm so glad I went to this show. I didn't think it was quite as good as Payback, but few are. So glad they saved Rollins bs for after the Match. Total stone cold classic! Probably the greatest match I've ever seen live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 "YOU STILL SUCK" is my favourite hypocritical douchebag smark chant. Especially when it comes moments after "YOU CAN'T WRES-TLE!"Cena used to get it all the time. It's the ultimate "I'm so convinced you suck because REASONS that even when you admittedly do something totally awesome I still have to immediately reaffirm that you suck. I mean I'm not sure why you suck, since you keep doing this awesome stuff that I have to acknowledge and then disavow lest I ruin my smark cred, but, but...you still suck!" Â There's also its dorky cousin, the "Sure Cena/Roman has all of these awesome matches, but, but...he was carried! They were with great workers! They were gimmicked! They were laid out by Arn! There was something in my eye! The dog ate my homework..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Redman Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Furthermore, anyone who has a problem with AJ Styles officially being the 39th greatest wrestler ever can watch him fucking dying for our sins in this match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 You all keep talking like people don't know why they hate Roman. Between the constant announcer fawning and thing like using make-a-wish kids to try to shoehorn him into a John Cena mk 2, it's clear why there would be a backlash. It's the presentation not the person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visited some other message boards during the match and almost everyone is convinced Styles carried him to those matches while Reigns held him back. Plus they literally make up stuff to criticize his performance. I totally get not liking someone's character or presentation. But to absolutely refuse to acknowledge anything good they do and insist they are still terrible just because you don't like them/it's uncool to like them is a line of thinking I don't get.

Eegah Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Its insanity. I check pwo first then mosey over to DVDVR and see folks saying thanks for carrying Roman, AJ. Its absurd, makes me feel like im watching a totally different thing. Styles definitely shone tonight with his insane bumps and selling but Roman was great. Refusing to admit a guy is good because you dont agree with his push is foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Per Alvarez there was a longish McMahon segment scheduled for the show that was cut. The extra time went to Jericho/Ambrose   I was suspicious why there was no McMahon involvement tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 "You still suck" is nerd dummies ADMITTING that Reigns is great, but still sticking by their creepy loser weirdness about wanting to reject him cuz "He was picked to be top guy and Blah blah Daniel Bryan blah blah." Same smelly future diabetics who will lose a foot who chant "You can't wrestle". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
