Joe even bringing up angle and Joe at the Genesis pay-per-view is very key.

I still think Nemeth should turn heel. This heartwarming downtrodden underdog story that they’re doing with Joe in this video package would hit more if he wasn’t going up against arguably the other most over babyface on the roster.

Especially, since they already did the babyface versus Babyface match at bound for glory. They gotta add a new wrinkle to the story.

I’m here. Tag didn’t happen did it? Is that the main?

I just wanna see him stay a face tbh. I know i probably don’t get it. But I really want it.

I don’t think they’ve said it’s the main event but I imagine since it’s got the two main event people in it.

I still think it's likely Ryan turns on Nic

I think you’re gonna get what you want to be honest. I don’t think they will turn him, but I just fail to see how the story has the emotional payoff if the top Babyface beats the second top babyface in the company instead of having adversity of having to climb the mount from behind against a dastardly man that turned on him and the fans.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

To put it in perspective, I don’t think mankind winning his first world title would’ve meant anything if he had beaten stone cold instead of overcoming the corporation and beating the corporate champion the rock.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Bring those kicks, girl.

You get them respecting each other, before Ryan attacks Nic, and that’s the emotional moment we get.
