    Has anyone noticed that Seth Rollins is now the Joaquin Phoenix Joker. The laugh, the interpretive dance moves, the gaudy suit, it's all there.

  • @kepapurdy1489

    Think Jim missed the idea behind the chair shots. It was done because Rollins did it to Reigns to end the Shield. Reigns yelling “he wont let me let go” during the guillotine I feel was Reigns saying Rollins keeps bringing up the Shield days and Reigns is trying to let that part of his career go. If you listen to Roman, before he started hitting Seth with the chair, he told him “you took a piece of me, and I need to get it back.” I didn’t care for the DQ finish myself, but I understood the story as a whole and why shit was done. I thought it went great and I’d absolutely love to see them do it again. Either guy could walk out with the strap and I’d be cool with it.

They ended the program too quickly and Rollins has lost his credibility!” This match was just the start of their renewed feud, and for all the crap WWE put out that night I for one am looking forward to Rollins/Reigns again.

      Roman vs Seth vs Brock at Mania will be awesome. Imagine this, back in 2014, both men were an obstacle for Reigns to overcome. Brock was the champion, and Seth was a MITB holder. And he failed to overcome them both.
      Fast forward 8 years. 8 FUCKING YEARS. Roman is the fucking mountain to be overcome. Seth and Brock are coming to get Roman at WrestleMania. Imagine the fucking story. The match that lasted just about 3 minutes at Mania, now gets to main event their second one with arguably more time. Three men at their career prime. Nothing would top it.
      If Brock wins, which he wouldn't, it would be anti climatic. But if Seth wins, it tells a poetic story of how Seth screws Roman at Mania once again. If Roman wins, he overcomes both of them finally and end the story that started 8 years back.

      @@UFBear15 Idk if it's just me but Roman vs HHH was great. Fans just like to shit on something, remember what fans did to Amazing Spiderman? Then years later we realize how good that movie was. I admit WWE was so bad in 2015, but Roman and Dean vs The Authority was the most famous narrative back in the day. There was dynamic all over the place.
      Roman vs Taker at Mania is my favourite match of all time. Idk but it's stupid to watch a wrestling match and when a move doesn't go the way I ended, we call it a botch. For me a botch is more like no selling, or referee mistake count etc, or the Black Mass on Lars Sullivan. If anything, Undertaker's bad moves only made the match feel more real. And it was emotional.
      I admit the women's main event and Roman vs Lesnar 2 was fucking awful. And Drew vs Brock was too short. Roman vs Daniel vs Edge was fucking great though.

Reigns was going flat w/o Heyman & Uso's, last 3 weeks. To make the Brock match make any sense bec Brock is so over the Rumble was a total get heat back on Roman bec they dont want face vs face at Mania! Also they still are hoping for Rock v Reigns so they gotta keep Roman as a Red Hot Heel & the chaos bec of Day 1 he was losing steam!

    Do i think the finish could've been done better. Yes. I did like the first chair shot and they showed this more on raw afterwards where the way Roman hit Seth with the first chair shot is the exact same way Seth hit Roman when they first broke the shield so I liked that bit of storytelling. Also liked that it ended with dq against Roman because it adds to the story point they have been doing in where everytime Seth and Roman have gone 1v1 in a match where it mattered most, Seth always won. It added an idea that maybe Roman was beginning to doubt he was gonna win so he went for a dq instead.
