This is maybe the dumbest thing I've heard about Roman Reigns (multiple times), and that includes goons who thought Lesnar was shooting on him.

What if I'm mad because he's champ and a generic Lebanese-Canadian boy isn't?

I was going to say Seth Rollins broke his leg not his brain, but then I remembered he's Hispanic. Though he's from Iowa, so that probably erases any non-generic whiteboyness.

I agree. Hope they don't put the title on a white boy like the Rock to get the crowd positive again.

Huh, I guess I really did want Sheamus as WWE Champ. There's just something about him that I relate to and like, and Roman Reigns lacks that something

That has to be a troll, people still love the half-black half-Samoan former champion who is also one of the biggest stars in the world.

If TNA had any act that sold as much merch as New Day they'd be solvent.

(Side note: I keep forgetting who TNA actually still has on their roster.)

2005 called, they want to know how things got worse.

Honestly in terms of sheer potential I can't see how someone can look at the modern WWE roster and say that. Worst booked I could see an argument for, but that's not the roster's fault.

I can't imagine unironically believing that the WWE roster is the worst it's ever been. This is the site that thought Bryan Danielson was just a catchphrase though.

There's another chain where a fan was calling Ricochet a Gymnast and not a wrestler and hadn't actually watched the match, but I can't find it now.

This is the match, though:

Yea not everyone is into flip fests. Not really that stupid of an opinion, just different.

Jonny Nox

That's the thing though, the match structure was chain start, that bit I linked, matt work leading to the corkscrew suicide dive onto Ospreay, Osprey gets thrown back in extended beatdown of Will Osprey with a ton of really nasty feeling strikes and really good psychology, a couple high-spots on the turn-around, the two exhausted wrestlers stagger around the ring bit, then a conclusion where it's flippy, but in a way that builds of the previous 15 minutes of wrestling.

Ricochet didn't pull out the 630 senton.

As a complete match it was everything most pundits say they want out of a wrestling match, but if you go by 2 minutes of highlights out of a 16 minute match you get "oh, this match is a Gym routine"

Anyways I just got the chance to watch the whole match this morning and I really want to gush about it because it's one of the best things I've seen all year.
