Sami is tremendous, not just in the ring but he's a very compelling storyteller when given good material to work with. I'm purely basing this from when I started watching him in NXT; I've rarely watched any indies and have never actually seen any of his El Generico work.

I mean, Sami is no John Cena, but come on. Dad bod? lol.

I haven't once watched Sami and thought---man, no way this guy could be a credible main eventer because he "doesn't have the LOOK". Shawn Michaels didn't, Daniel Bryan didn't, Chris Jericho didn't, Eddie Guerrero didn't. Rey Mysterio was a WHC.

Those are some of the all time greats, but the point is the whole idea of having the look/body is overrated. If you're good enough and over enough, you'll get your push and I wouldn't blink once if Sami eventually gets his.

The Zayn/Nakamura match was my first time watching either wrestle. As others mentioned it was really great and def proves Zayn can be a main eventer.

The biggest problem with Sami is that the blue thunderbomb is his best move and should be a finisher getting pinfalls on the reg. Instead it's gotten zero to the point where its a total joke when he lands it and covers up acting like it's got a chance.

WM was actually pretty good, though overly long.

Did some research. Found his twitter

Not a WWE plant at all...I guess he is just very wealthy and flies to every single event and is able to get front row dead center just about every time...crazy

I was 2nd row one time and the guys in the front row all seemed to know each other and seemed like they went to every show

They must be connected somehow. Whenever I go I always try to get in the first row and am basically never able to, or there will only be one seat available for an insane price. 2nd row and beyond always easily available.

Yup so after more digging there are several "superfans". There is smiley guy, brock lesnar Markout guy who wears tight olive shirt, there's the type o negative singer lookalike dude(tall with long dark hair), red hat guy(sits in corner with light blue shirt) and others over the years.

This has been my experience the few times I've been able to go. Groups of friends that somehow get the same seats every show.

There is also the Squared Circle Restaurant guy and he seems to be with two guys for every PPV.

For the most part, I get that these guys aren't ripped heavyweights. But Eddie in particular definitely had a great look.

Probably because they have big plans for him.

RAW is always entertaining the night after WM. It's how they follow it up that's important. It's pretty ridiculous to watch the RAW from 8 days ago and say "it's the more entertaining show" because of last nights show. The go home show was awful.

I'm in for SD only for a Nakamura sighting.

Nice to see WWE resurrect the Chamber of Horrors match. I'm sure it'll be just as good as the match they wanted to make Dean's, The Asylum Match.

I can't imagine why building the top angle of a show around Bray Wyatt would submarine the shows watchability.
