I mean, to me, this is the equivalent of the Seahawks throwing the ball at the one. It was the wrong move. Everyone knows that it was. But I can at least understand the logic behind it. It is not the logic of a man that I agree with even remotely, but I don't question whether their brains drizzle out their nose when they sneeze. (Rollins-Fiend HIAC is like when Matt LaFleur kicked a field goal down 8 points in the fourth quarter).

the advantage of fighting spirit layouts in Japan is that you can sell this type of loss as an honorable fighting defeat but this didn't even come close

Sami didn't save him during KO's match, he let him get his rear end kicked for a while after the match then only "stopped" it when Roman made him choose. KO reciprocated

KO isn't a friend of Sami's rn, he's fine with him losing, but he's not fine with Sami getting brutalized after the match (just like Sami was fine with KO losing at Rumble, but not getting brutalized after)

That was the first WWE even I've watched all the way through in years. Men's chamber match and main event were fun matches. AEW's overall presentation and vibe are just so much more my style. I'll keep my WWE network subscription through WM to watch Cody win the title, I guess.

eh, WWE doesn't do subtextual booking like that's for other promotions the text is Sami and KO are friends now McMahon's Razor is that WWE's makes bad decisions for weird reasons not to respect intricate character history

Just wait until a mysterious new masked luchador called El Jeynerico debuts to back Sami up against the Bloodline.

Eh good match but bad finish. Sami wasn't going to win but they should have had him lose by a DQ or something and Sami gets added to the Wrestlemania match. Also him accidently spearing Jey was dumb, they need to be best bros.

I also tuned in from a long hiatus thinking something different might happen. Do the fans or the WWE work these crowd reaction shots? A lot of them to me seemed forced like the fan would hope the camera would catch them for a viral reaction to be posted on YouTube later or something. I just didn’t believe someone with good seats at a ppv would do the home alone face on a 2.9 count that obv wasn’t going to be the finish.

I was front row and Mark Henry was getting ready to come out and the camera man told me to boo him loudly and animatedly so I did. I was on that episode of Raw and then later the WWE worked that footage into a totally unrelated feud.

the crowd reactions to zayn i have seen online seem heavily overinflated in impressiveness by the public. to be compared to daniel bryan changing the course of the company through crowd reactions you need a lot better than a really loud entrance pop and good crowd engagement. not even in his hometown could he generate a constant stream of extremely loud noise. i saw the moment where he was manufactured to come out and stall with a microphone while the audience was loud for him, and they did their part but easily could have been talked over. hulk hogan had much a better reaction for the same thing, non-manufactured, in the same building. sami zayn absolutely adores the rapist vince mcmahon on a level beyond the somatic.
