why would anyone hate reigns?

jealousy obv

I have it on good authority that it's because we hate our lives.

lol

Because hes black

Odds of people taking this seriously greatly increased due to the unemployed used car salesman from Iowa avatar.

I enjoyed that last night. Still marked out when NWO came out to help Sting. Felt like a 14 year old. Thanks for that. It was a much, much better show than anyone here could have imagined.

Yes the Sting match was a train wreck but it was never going to be a classic. It was always gonna be one you had to switch your brain off to and hell just enjoy it for what it was.

Great booking in the main event. Lesnar booked very strongly. Seth is a class act in the ring so I'm happy enough with him having the belt if Lesnar doesn't.

I legit thought Nash had tore his quad when Gunn ran / fell into him.

In Sting's only promo, he kind of said he's not fighting for WCW though. It's all in the distant past. And while the NWO helping him because they technically were "outsiders" from WCW and Clique members opposing each other didn't make much sense, I'm still fine with how it all turned out. Who was the other choice to help Sting? The 4 horsemen? Lex Luger who might be in worse shape than Scott Hall now? Maybe Goldberg if they could have gotten him.

Seems to be an irl douche

Give a example?


don't get why he is a irl douche from this?

well that bit where he shoved the fan earlier today might be one

At work and on phone so didn't watch video but there's been a number of interviews with the guy where he comes off as a complete jackass. Just not very likeable and basically has no redeeming factors in the ring to get people to overlook his irl attitude.

Lmao

Or how about don't get in the guys way?

Still finding it hard to believe that Tyler Black just main evented Wrestlemania and won the belt.

Looking back, it probably shouldn't be such a surprise. They booked him as the inaugural NXT champion, put him in the shield, and gave him a programme with John Stewart. Perhaps the whole Reigns debacle was just a red herring to throw fans off the scent and put the finish over even stronger?

Still haven't actually watched the broadcast yet, pretty inconsiderate of the WWE to air the show at 1am GMT.

Yeah initially it was built as a "sting hates authority figures" storyline but it absolutely shifted into a wcw vs wwf thing over the last few weeks. I didn't agree with it because it's obviously dumb but Stephanie and HHH made sure to bring it up in every single promo. Then the sting video package started off with "I tried to save wcw but I failed etc" and basically the entire pre show was talking about whether sting could finally stick it to wwe after all these years, blah blah.

You're right that they had no choice but to use nwo there but my point was that the fact that nwo and dx ran out during the match is evidence that wwe viewed this feud as a wcw vs wwe thing. Otherwise it makes zero sense for those guys - especially nwo- to be out there.

And WWE's reward for this rather positive Mania is....a massive drop in the stock price. Of course that is due to business side announcements.

where exactly did he shove the fan entrance?

In the very first shot you see of him coming down the steps. Of course according to some people Reigns should have stopped everything including his music and politely escprted the gentleman back to his seat and then started everything up again. Some people are so ridiculous

I thought so as well, because he grabbed right for it. But then after seeing him up and fine, I assumed it was just a shot at the smarks who always break his balls about tearing quads. Nash isnt one to shy away from playing ribs on the fans

Im going to take a shot in the dark here. I think the NWO/DX feud may have been a last minute audible because maybe something happened to either Sting or HHH. I dont think this was something planned out well in advance because of the added no DQ stipulation that wasnt mentioned up until the start of the match. Maybe one of them injured something or caught the flu, or something. It just looked like they had that schmoz so that they didnt have to work all that much in the ring.

As for why DX and NWO. Why not? Tons of fanshave been saying for years "I wish we got to see DX vs NWO." Or something to that effect, so why not give to the fans the best way possible. I dont know just an idea

Cool pic.

Just so it doesn't get forgotten in the wake of the ME:

It was the first time because of the shock factor but in gif form it looks pretty stupid.

That Sting Debut Video brought back a lot of memories for me watching PPVs with my friends and trying to keep it quiet, lol. I remember when Kurt Angle won his first title and I was the only one of my friends cheering for him. I was around that age, maybe a little older, and was told to keep it down from my friends parents, lol.
