I think Reigns is the new Chuck Norris.
Reigns can get nuked but he could still kick out at 2.
Lesnar is still the most protected guy. then its reigns in the 2nd place.
lets all remember how lesnar still won the triple threat match after 3 AAs 1 curb stomp and a elbow drop from rollins to the table.
It sucks, but I don't expect anything better from the WWE at this point. They are just giving him the so-called "superman" booking, and it doesn't seem to be working.
And that's why we're so apathetic to Reigns, we saw this same song and dance with Cena for over a decade and have gotten tired of it. Why bother getting behind someone when you know they'll withstand the atom bomb being dropped on them and win anyway?
Everytime Styles went for a big move, I expected Reigns to counter it. I was more surprised when something WASN'T countered. Did anyone NOT expect Roman to counter the Phenomenal forearms? Superman punch on one, spear on the other. I expected Roman to win. But, I hate that it was this blatant.
Also, I agree, Styles beating the hell out of him for that last stretch and Romans eeking it out was so obvious.
But if Rollins beats his ass, I don't care. And Rollins can win because he's Roman's better half.
That was fucking bullshit. I literally thought AJ had a chance with his STYLES CLASH on a FUCKING STEEL CHAIR. Who gives a crap if that Uso gave Roman a few extra seconds, Cesaro got pinned after what, 10-15 seconds and the Miz still won with Zayn's Helluva kick. That was absolutely garbage how Roman was so protected and kicked out of Styles moves so many times. WWE is protecting Reigns too much at the expense of the legitimacy of all other wrestlers and their finishing moves. God was I mad when he kicked out.
Reigns was protected in that match, but not in the kick outs. That is expected in a WWE main event anyway. Could have avoided the Styles Clash on a chair but it was 'Extreme Rules' so they added the chair to make the match fit the theme of the PPV.
The way they protected Reigns was by using the Usos as a proxy for the Styles kick out instead of a Reigns offence.
But he wasen't covered. IT wasen't till in the ring where STyles hit two clashes. Even REigns was protected by his boys. And he kicked out every single time. Reigns does one spear in the ring where it counts pin fall wise. 1 2 3. Reigns is so protected it is beyond a joke now. The guys WWE WHC, he doesen't need this kind of protection. Almost like the Presidents Bodyguards are protecting him lol. Because he is about to be sniperd.
The Styles Clash even a finisher in WWE? Pretty sure Jericho kicked out of the very first one he hit and again in the back and forth. Its hardly a deadly move in kayfabe at this point.
After that I have to agree. They are going to paint themselves into such a corner with this shit. If he isn't gonna lose for a long time and they keep trying to raise the bar we will be seeing him kick out of 12 finishers, three of them being on chair, a leap from the top of a cage, and being set on fire. All within four minutes of each other. Brock doesn't even get booked this string and he can actually sell damn near invincibility with his performances. Ramon is going to single handedly send the finishing move into the bygone era with the Vaudvillains
Why am i supposed to give a fuck about Rollins after the burial i just witnessed to the best performer in the world? Seriously, why should anyone give a fuck? Rollins will be fed to him too.
That's true and has been known for a while, but so what? People are too invested/care too much for the "powers that be" too change the script----stop giving him the biggest reaction of the night (yes booing is just as good as cheering) and stop supporting the product or at least watching his segments if you want a change.
Cash-ins are not 'clean' victories kayfabe-wise.Is it fair to beat up a bruised and tired guy?No.
