Chairman Roffle Mao. Good thing I didn’t spend any effort to get the app working for night two. If he hates the Fiend as much as we do then why doesn’t Vince make him do something else? Making him Fatty B would be awful but at least less red filter headache and cringey youporn fesh

Did anyone post the results in the thread? Might help prevent people from wasting their money.

If every storyline was just Vince booking himself into a corner and telling the wrestlers at the last minute to figure it out for themselves, WWE might actually be watchable.

He still thinks he rules, he's just given up on him being booked even half-decently

During the Mania sim stream Orton squashed Bray in...barely less time than the actual match I think? And they were all like "yeah that's probably the most likely result that's gonna happen from this"

I can't believe there was a period where I enjoyed listening to his podcast because I found him insightful, even though I was fully aware he had his head firmly up Vince's rear end.

Why are people saying Edge pinned Bryan? Edge's shoulders were also down and you haven't needed to break up the pin to stop the count in well over a decade, as we've seen in countless time where an axehandle to someone's back ends the count. Reigns was always touching Edge, so Edge was not pinning Bryan, and even if Edge was, it was a double pin and thus Reigns retains in a draw.

This feels like being pedantic to complain about Reigns.

PSP loved the poo poo out of The Fiend after his SummerSlam 2019 match with Balor. Then a lot of people bailed when the next thing they did was announced he would be facing Rollins at HIAC for the title for no reason in particular. Then he lost everyone due to the match itself

It also looked brutal when Edge improved (I think?) and gagged Roman with metal rod from the chair.

Bad finishes tend to overshadow good stuff throughout the match. Like the match was really good, and Bryan was great in it, but the finish just sours everything.

The idea of Roman pinning both of them is actually a good idea if you want to put him over strong so hahaha that it morphed into making him looking like a dipshit

The problem with the Fiend is multifaceted, basically.

1) His character is booked way too strong for even a supernatural monster character. No one comes out of feuds with him looking any better.

2) This is half character work and half on the performer, but Bray Wyatt loving sucks in the ring. It doesn't help that he decides that no-selling should be a part of the Fiend's act. Which feeds into Point #1 of no one looking good against him. It's an incredibly selfish part of the gimmick that really didn't need to exist at all.

3) The Fiend as a character is incredibly confusing at this point. When it was basically "Bray going after everyone who wronged him" it felt fine. But then they had him (or her in the case of Alexa) going after men/women who did no wrong, which again, fuels point #1.

Basically Roman is the smartest man in WWE for refusing to work with The Fiend/Bray Wyatt.

I fully expected Roman to win. I expect he will hold the belt for at least 2 more years and I'm not even kidding. I did not expect him to pin two hall of famers at once like they were dog poo poo and that bummed me out.

Thats whats up!

I get what they're trying to say, but Edge was knocked the gently caress out at the time and had to be carried on top of Bryan so the idea what he has any claim to the title is just absurd.
