Remember the time Roman speared Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31, freeing Rollins to curb stomp him and beat him?
Remember the time Roman speared himself into a pedigree from Rollins at Money in the Bank and lost his title because of it?
Remember the time Roman speared Seth and didn't check on Dean before going for the cover and immediately ate a Dirty Deeds and got pinned at Battleground?

I love it. WWE doesn't want Roman losing clean via pin and they don't want him to lose this match with Braun definitively destroying him, so they concoct this finish which makes Roman look like a complete loving idiot.

Reminds me of the time where they had CM Punk beat the shield but wanted to Make Roman Look Strong, so they had Punk win by Roman spearing Dean by mistake.

Lots of thoughts on Roman last night.

I don't know how they can claim he's a babyface after that. After he couldn't hurt Braun for real, he resorted to using a steel chair on an injured body part. When that didn't work and he lost by being an idiot. And then he decided to get his heat back by beating up Braun some more and then trying to kill him because he was mad he lost. That's the kind of poo poo heels do. And then Braun gets the face action of refusing medical help despite being bloodied everywhere.

Another thing, his selling pisses me off. He always looks worried/in pain/sad when he's selling offense. If he's supposed to be a badass face (heel) he should be looking pissed off that someone dared hurt him or just out of it completely.

How the gently caress can you be mad that someone looks like they're in pain when they're selling?

The point of wrestling is that you make it look like you're being hurt.

How many times has Braun beaten Roman only to get utterly destroyed right after? I swear last night was the third time it's happened.

It's really really the only time do far. There was no post match after Fastlane, Raw saw Strowman murder Roman after the match, Payback had Roman dodge Braun and hit him with the ambulance door at the end of the show after it went off the air, but that wasn't much.

GBoF was a heel show, much like 90% of WWE PPVs.

75% of WWE PPVs aren't A shows, and they put the babyfaces over the on the A shows that draw like 75% of the business despite there only being basically 3 of them.

Wrestlemania this year had maybe one actual heel win (Owens) and maybe as many as 3 depending on how you feel about Brock or AJ.

Yeah, looking like you're in pain is pretty central to wrestling selling. I'm with him on the worried/sad selling though. Roman's selling is super weird. I wonder if that's an edict from Vince/whoever? Miz used to sell during his face run as though he was distraught that his career had come to this, as opposed to actually looking like he was in physical pain.

Sasha shoot promo was awful and i hope she faces repercutions for it. Is one thing how Miz does because he legit has reasons to be pissed off but Banks was the chosen one on NXT after Charlotte left and is prominently featured on raw. Also she is a botch machine, a bad promo and a loving nerd idiot loser who wrote poetry about wrestling.

Alexa is a winner.

The Big Dog cannot be hurt physically by punches. The actual damage is done to his emotions, until he is too sad to continue the match.

She was asked about her beef with Alexa, said she's a fake that pretended to like wrestling and wwe but isn't actually a fan and couldn't identify which Hardy Boy was Jeff. She says Alexa just wants to use wrestling as a stepping stone to Hollywood (which I hope is true, actually)

Which is an insanely petty reason to break a woman's nose twice and bust her open in a post-match beatdown, but given that it's Sasha Banks, maybe those were all 'mistakes' (i.e. botches).

I don't know if its actually a shoot or not, but it doesn't seem like normal WWE booking. She's said similar things in their little twitter spats - https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2...ns-championship

A heel being able to retain their title by getting counted out on purpose is the stupidest poo poo in the world. The fact that it happens every other show with little to no consequences is even worse.

You would've hated 80s WWF then. Savage and Honky Tonk are prime examples of two heels who would deliberately get counted out or DQ'd just to retain their titles.

a count-out victory is an acceptable move for TV to build to a PPV, but its a wet fart for the audience when it happens at a bigger event. then again, they didn't build this at all, so they can use this to justify building a bigger feud


although nia jax is being built up to enter the title scene so for all i know tonight will be the end of the Alexa/Sasha feud (at least on-screen)

I want to say there's multiple accounts that Vince legit thinks that heat between wrestlers adds to their feuds/matches. Or at least, this isn't the first case of it, not even a notable case of it when compared to Macho/Hogan, HBK/Bret, or Rock/Cena.
