He started wearing a singlet to hide his physique even though it was still really good. Also shaved his head.

In short, gently caress Vinny's opinions. He undersold that entire match and seemed to not give a poo poo about it.

So he didn't like something, but recognized he was probably wrong, so gently caress every opinion he has.

I listen to Filthy Tom on Wednesdays and sometimes Dave when it concerns a show I'd be interested to hear his take on. I've just given up on Vinny and his awful opinions especially when he keeps wondering aloud why people still boo Roman Reigns like him putting on a good match now and then excuses how they've fed him to us and how he's been portrayed.

I'm simply saying that I disagree with his opinions so often that I've given up on ever finding common ground with him.

I like Vinny because he likes Roman Reigns and it's OK to realize that you shouldn't need to wrestle like a moron to get over, even if fans really seem to like that

It's clear that Vinny is not a fan of the modern WWE big match formula of "kick out of 8000 finishers", plus he doesn't watch Smackdown so he missed the storyline around the match.

Well, that was the formula long before the modern product. You just have to watch the Wrestlemania matches between Austin and The Rock.

It's a shame they couldn't have Filthy Tom on for the No Mercy review. He would have shed some light on a lot of what was going on.

But that's a Wrestlemania main event between the 2 biggest stars in the company, not a No Mercy midcard match for a midcarder belt. Context matters.

The best match on the show, and perhaps the best match either wrestler has ever had in their careers.

The match I'm talking about, WrestleMania 19, Meltzer gave four stars. Not that you can really compare the two, but Dave obviously saw a lot more out of the Miz/Ziggler match than "finisher and kick-out" repeated ad nauseum.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
Not to say people weren't into the Rock/Austin match, but similar to the Punk/Cena MITB match, the crowd was really into the story and legitimately didn't know how it was going to end. Both of those cases had people invested on what was partially a shoot style angle. Dave is a fan of athleticism and great work, but he doesn't throw out the story entirely.

I think if people knew it was Austin's last match and that he was going to put The Rock over in their final encounter as a passing of the torch it would have meant a lot more to the crowd.

I'm glad they did the foot on ropes spot for the eye spray/SCF because a kick out from that would probably have been a bit much.
