I can understand the frusteration, but was people this mad when Punk had the long title reign? Which had no payoff btw, ended up losing it to the Rock, I think we are getting a payoff here

Although I thought that Jey should've ended the Bloodline angle, we have done this dance since Clash at The Castle, we were like "what next".....and then we were given all this gold......this is cinema memes.

iono what are your thoughts on the streak?

it was something that I thought when ended should be to someone who needs it. But now I’m fine that Brock did it, but I would’ve had a different ending. That’s the same energy. Before I wasn’t like “god someone end it!” Then get mad when it did

tbh Punk was 434 Days. Most people weren’t tired of Roman at 434 Days.

 

[Sabretooth]

Because that's what the attitude was going into Brock/taker

To this day I still think that was the wrong decision and it’ll always be a sore spot for me

Wrestling fans man. No matter what you do they’ll never be happy

He’s allowed to not like something. He doesn’t have to enjoy every aspect of it

Yes but whats next? Fatal 4 way between the Brothers and Reigns? I mean how do we end this with a huge payoff keep Reigns looking strong, but take the title off of him too

I honestly think we just let Jimmy and Jey do their own thing, and Roman with Solo face new challenges.....Lashley? I don't know if they've had a program yet.

It’s everyone man

 

[THEDEVILHIMSELF]

Lahsley and Reigns hasnt had a program yet and Im with it if they do to be honest Ive always been a fan of the Lashleys work, and with Dawkins and Tez in his corner Solo cant get involved

 

[Sabretooth]

People always shit on things before actually seeing the outcome. Everyone flipped the fuck out when Roman beat Cody at Wrestlemania but then we got this amazing inter Bloodline feud and it wasn’t so bad eh?

Why don’t we wait to see where this Jimmy betrayal goes before everyone says how shit it is.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

The thing is i don’t give a fuck. It won’t make me care about Roman as champion anymore. What do you not get about that?

 

[Jimmy King]

Maybe some folks are tired of “waiting for it to play out”. I know I said in my intial review of the show that I’d wait to see it play out and I will but not everyone has that kind of patience.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Like I’m legit just tired of it man. If you ain’t cool. But I am

 

[Deezy]

I'm sorry but isn't "waiting to see how this plays out" the formula for episodic television?
