  • @dustman820
    @dustman820 Před 2 lety +31

    I just rolled my eyes when I saw it as it happened. The Demon gets up from the spear through the barricade like it was nothing, but the top rope breaking is what stops him? That was not worse that going through a barricade. The other problem is Finn is a small guy. The top rope would not break with his weight. He is not The Big Show, Yokozuna, or Mark Henry.
    I was expecting Mr. Cornette to have an all-time rant because of the supernatural stuff which he hated The Fiend for and the stuff I mentioned and he missed the fact that it is looking like they are going to bring religion into it that God or some kind of higher power caused the rope to break and now Roman will think God is on his side.

Plus Roman with his mask on to fight in the crowd was great, simply cause you know he is immunocompromised and it is still dangerous for him to be performing in these conditions, folks tend to forget that.

      Being pinned after taking everything from the tag champs and the Universal champ is still protected.
      I agree with Jim. How are we now meant to believe that Roman can beat Brock? I'm worried that he's not going to and we will see Brock with the belt again for a 'ratings pop'. Or, say it with me, DQ lazzzzzyyyyyy booking!!
