Like in general I can understand the reaction to chairshots themselves because they're exciting and just kinda own. The "fit a leg into a chair and go to town on it" stuff is a different beast entirely and when I see cheers for it I just get kinda weirded out because it doesn't have any of the things that make chairshots cool.

For what it's worth the guy next to me at the Seattle show last week had to ask if Ziggler was heel or not so that may play into it a little as well.

Kofi did it better.

Seems like Dolph is the one who should have gotten all the backstage heat that Miz did early in his career. He's like everything people thought Miz would be.

I don't think anybody, least of all Sami is gonna get heat for talking poo poo about Trump. There's been no indication that the company is punishing people for it and disciplining/firing a guy with Syrian heritage for being against Trump strikes me as the kinda thing that could really REALLY blow up in WWE's face in a bad PR way.

The only thing Sami got backstage heat for, he kinda deserved and that's coming from Sami Zayn Fan Numero Uno.

UK Tournament, actually. The WWE twitter tagged him in with a clip of somebody using the BTB and he said "Why innovate when you can create?"

It was a really snotty off-message tweet during a new product that WWE was trying to give a big push and is further underscored by the fact that he didn't invent the Blue Thunder Bomb. It was just a bad look for him and tbh he kinda deserved a rap on the knuckles for it. And it only equated to him looking like a dork in a couple backstage segments - it didn't affect his actual push or his in-ring results at all.

I will say one other thing about Sami - he's fought Rusev twice now and both times it was relatively nothing TV matches where Rusev got heat for a long time and Sami Outta Nowhered him with the Helluva Kick to get the pin, which is a drat waste of those two. If Sami does somehow get the US Belt, I really hope he has an extended feud with Handsome Rusev.

That's really stupid and petty of Zayn. I hate it when wrestlers do that. It was funny when Regal called Jericho out over it when Jericho did it to Dawson (though tbf Jericho was only responding to Dawson doing the same).

That makes you lose a lot of respect for Foley. Why would he have his kids there for that? Even if everything went as it was planned and Foley only got hit with a chair 4 times, that was all it took to make his family cry. They were already leaving after the 3rd or 4th chair shot.

Nah. They've been cheering every heel move Ziggler has made lately. Maybe it is partially due to the faces not being cared about, but I think it's more about people wanting to see someone gently caress poo poo up no matter who the target is.

I said it a few weeks back but the Smackdown crowd's bloodlust makes me think of old ECW crowds.

The crowd was chanting "Thank you Ziggler" at Elimination Chamber after he chair pummeled Apollo. I didn't think Crews was *that* disliked

I was surrounded by people at the Seattle show last week just cheering Ziggler beating on Crews, including one guy screaming about Kallisto being a little kid that shouldn't be in the ring. There are always assholes everywhere sure but I was still a little sad for my city

Wait am I arguing that people should be more mark-ish suddenly or less

Someone in line for the ROH show I was at legit thought that Ziggler vs Sami would have been the Ricky Steamboat vs Macho Man and make that Survivor Series a GOAT show.

That's what I assumed, but then Naomi got 'you deserve it' chants. Whatsupwitdat? I still don't know what was going on with the crowd for the handicap match.

Also this might be a pretty unique and controversial opinion, but Dolph Ziggler sucks.
