Shard posted:I was fine with most stuff up until the pape. MJF trying to act like Jay loving White wasn't on his level and trying to get tofu over was really dumb. But the bullshit drama before the match really took me out of it. The match was good. But it could have been good without the bullshit before. It was a bit awkward, but I get what it was going for. They wanted to make the crowd want the MJF match more by pretending to take it away from them. It was a little cludgy though. The match really drew my casual wrestling watching friends in though. They worked the injury so well they said it made them feel uncomfortable, which is a hell of an accomplishment after the Hangman Swerve match. Hole-ee. I have faith in Jay White to bounce back, but I want to see Bullet Club Gold get a prominent new member (Jack Perry, maybe Hangman). For me, the feud was buoyed by my pure enjoyment of Jay.

Yeah my issue was that it was just a super long trip for us to end up at exactly the same spot. They could have done the whole getting attacked by the Gunn club stuff but they didn’t need the ambulance stuff and not knowing if he was cleared and all that.

I personally would have preferred if they did the attack and just didn’t pillmanize his leg and send him off in an ambulance Just do some chairshots to the leg and he will hobble around like it is broken, the chair being used in a way that all other times results in someone going on vacation for a month or two just makes the whole thing look so much shittier But i am just salty and happen to not be the booker so it doesn’t matter, does it

Wasn't the whole attack and ambulance driving a reference to something similar happening with Sting? Though in this instance, Sting actually lost to Rude in the actual match https://youtu.be/UzO9JaWihx8?si=Ap_kJgsCPZGCL9xX

I didn't mind the ambulance and the injury spot for MJF/Jay and if it was just that and tease of forfeit and MJF wrestling from behind I'd have been fine with the match. It's the having Cole take his place that felt just a bit too far and too silly for me

"Hey, you're injured – it's fine if you want this guy who is even more injured than you to take your spot, even if he hasn't wrestled in weeks and is wearing a medical boot" is so stupid. Would it have been better/funnier if Roddy demanded to be the replacement to prove his friendship to Adam? At least he can still wrestle and his neck brace is a gimmick.

I was with MJF and his reign until the crying press conference. If it wasn’t a bit, dude shouldn’t have been made to go out there with a broken hip and weep about his dead grandfather. Nothing wrong with crying over any of that, but he needed to be getting checked up on physically and emotionally not cutting a promo that no one now really even remembers or cared about much when it happened. If it was a bit making fun of Jay White then…okay? We’re making fun of emotions in an emotionally driven fake sport now? to what end? Jay probably should have won the title, giving MJF an out with his worked and shooted injuries. But the Maestro de la cocaina is dead set on Master Chief Adam Cole vs Marcus Jacob Fenix at a PPV in 2030 when they’re both able to wrestle at the same time, on NXT.

Now that it’s all over I think we can all agree that Tony being a gigantic mark and putting the world title on Punk at the earliest opportunity was a catastrophically bad booking decision that he’s only just managed to dig himself out of.

It's the having Cole take his place that felt just a bit too far and too silly for me There are aspects of each element of the PPV main event story I understand and kind of like, but it ultimately feels like a situation where they got too in the weeds creatively and nobody was willing to take a step back and say “This whole thing just doesn’t come together in a way that works.” The Cole aspect of things was intriguing to me because it had me wondering “How could they possibly make this work?”. To me, it invited speculation that Cole was faking the injury or would find some way to use this opening to betray MJF and get himself closer to the title. But even if that was the intention of that particular wrinkle, they couldn’t find a way to make that happen without totally throwing the established logic of the promotion out the window. Someone needed to be willing to step up and say “If we can’t justify this, we have to be willing to just toss it out.” If you’re married to having Cole lobby against stripping the belt from MJF in a way that invites skepticism, there are other ways to do it - or you could honesty just keep it to the towel-throwing and ring goof-up spots in the match itself. I’m generally forgiving of story contrivances in wrestling, but you shouldn’t be willing to bend reality for an inessential plot beat. The beatdown/hospitalization/comeback storyline is way more straightforward - it’s a well that’s been gone to before for a Heroic Babyface, and while it doesn’t do any favors for Jay, a good heel is ultimately there to put over the face. I think the problem here is that they went too far on selling the injury. In general, I wonder if MJF needs to recalibrate his selling instincts to work better as a face - it’s one thing to do the big over-the-top on-verge-of-tears injury stuff when you’re a sniveling heel who only shows rear end so often, but it’s pretty lame to have your world champion wailing from the back of an ambulance telling some other dude to save his title for him. This angle probably goes down way smoother if MJF is trying to fight off medical to compete but they force him to go for X-rays or something.

Cm punk upon his return was the hottest thing in pro wrestling and drew numbers that were undeniable That being said, after he broke his everything, he should not have come anywhere near the title whether or not he had his prop bag and replica title

The thing that MJF/White did well was make Adam Cole a red herring for the Devil. He almost finagled himself into taking MJF's spot. The look of surprise when MJF returned looked equal parts happy and like he was hiding contempt. He kept giving him bad advice during the match. He screwed up the interference to the point that it looked like it was on purpose. Great on its own, but it was a show where everyone wanted them to get to the Devil factory and not stretch it out even further.

Tony might as well of just handed Punk the belt in the middle of the ring while kissing his rear end the night he debuted. I wish he would have just hosed off to WWE to begin with.

The Stroker Ace posted:Tony might as well of just handed Punk the belt in the middle of the ring while kissing his rear end the night he debuted. CM Punk's return to wrestling was an incredible happening that literally felt impossible until it actually happened. Don't let the crowd dive and everything after fool you into forgetting that. There's a lot one can blame Tony or Punk or whoever for but there's nothing that wasn't incredible about that initial return and what it represented - or at least, what we thought it did.
