[Strummer]

AJ was a big favorite in the odds all week until today. Must have been a late decision

[El Dragon]

Now Rusev gets to be buried and I get to be more sad. This show has been makingn me sad.

[hammerva]

This match could be a little more interesting if Russev was still a Russian. Given the mess things are in DC and they are making this like some kind of "fighting for all the US"

 

This assumes Russev actually has a chance against Cena which he definitely doesn't

[El Dragon]

I'm strongly considering watching the Main in Hindi. Would probably be an interesting experience.

[Ricky Jackson]

Punjabi

[Jimmy Redman]

They're already climbing so slowly. Pole matches can fuck off.

[gordi]

This is super high stakes, you guys (and Stacey)

 

I can't imagine anything worse than a Bulgarian guy being allowed to wave his flag.

[hammerva]

Hyping this match as the most important match of his career makes even more likely that this is going to be long night for Russev

[Ricky Jackson]

Punjabi

Right, commentary is in Hindu. Never mind

[hammerva]

Didn't know this was also sort of a stretcher match where you have to cross some goofy finish line with the flag

[sek69]

This match would probably get mega heat in 1983 Mid South, but who could possibly give a shit about a flag match in 2017?

[Mad Dog]

This match sucks and blows.

I mean, some places in the South was my first thought. Not Philly though.

[sek69]

Also super patriot Cena should know the flag isn't supposed to touch the ground.

[WingedEagle]

This match show sucks and blows.*

 

*Except for New Day/Usos.

[...TG]

Crowd seems to be slowly getting into this match. As opposed to AJ/Owens, where it seemed they didn't care at all.

[El Dragon]

This match makes both wrestlers look stupid.

[Mad Dog]

One of my friends pointed out that these matches always lead to the flags getting trampled.

[El Dragon]

So Cena AA's Rusev off the US podium through the tables to place his flag finish already super telegraphed.

[gordi]

Here's what I figure:

 

Before the show, Shinsuke, KO, Russev, and a few others each put 500 bucks into a pool, and whoever works the laziest, least motivated match of the night (without actually getting fired) gets to keep it all.

In which case, who is currently winning?

 

Also, so far the 2nd best match of he night is still Dillinger/English.

[hammerva]

Seriously if I was Russev I would throw the flag stand into the 5th row. At least he used it as a weapon

 

Actually think this is a fun match once they went with the bells and whistles on the ramp. Still goofy as hell.

[sek69]

Rusev's arm bleeding through his Bulgaria tattoo is a nice accidental touch.

[Jimmy Redman]

OK Cena dramatically grabbing the flagpole before it went in the stand was fucking hilarious.

It's really too close to call, isn't it?

 

Maybe actually getting a boring match out of AJ Styles gives Owens the edge.
