We already did dismantle it. Makes perfect sense to show Nak’s strength in a gauntlet to have it equate to nothing, only a win for Pearce, and KO randomly coming back into the fray? Yeah, okay lol.
You’re saying “it’ll be followed up down the line.” Yeah, okay, sure it will... and my mother will stop be whore: not likely. And even if it did, are they gonna reference that specifically? And if so, when is too long to wait to follow up on it? Why not follow up right away? Or at least have Nak come back the following week and admit that even though it felt wrong the way he lost, he’s not giving up and then he picks up a big win the same night? Lol, they do none of this and you’re justifying it still.
I get you want KO in the program buddy, but your justification of this horrible and pointless gauntlet is absurd.
I have a feeling nothing will happen with Nak and Roman but even if it does, unless they keep the steam train rolling with Nak, which they haven’t, the gauntlet was absolutely a waste.
As I've already said... For you Nakamura not equating to anything equals to him not in the title match at the royal rumble. Why am I adhering to your made up rules? I disagree with that completely. I think that is extremely short terminism. That is not because I'm 'looking too deeply into it'. I just don't think you can that judgement when I think Nakamura will get a title shot based of the push he got in the guantlet in the bear future...then I agree that they have squandered it. But even still that doesn't mean that Nakamura not being in the match at the rumble = nothing. Like why is there a expiory date? What's the logic in that?
Fair enough if you think it won't happen. If it doesn't happen then yh I agree they wasted it. But I don't see how you can make that judgement because he isn't getting an immediate title shot lol. Likewise I will admit I was wrong if he doesn't get a title shot, you should admit your wrong if he does, because your argument if the gauntlet meaning anything doesn't hold up.
The week after the guantley, Nakamura literally beat the man who screwed him the previous week hahaha. Sure could of done with a more direct promo from Nakamura, but that isn't a argument supporting that the guantlet was a waste. They have literally did what you are saying they didn't. Nakamura best Jimmy Uso look it up. Sure I can critic the segment for sure. But then again it's Nakamura. The guy doesn't express his thoughts in promos he kinda just takes the piss and thats it. Show don't tell. That's always been the case for Nakamura even in NJPW. I look in both sides.
If they have a ppv match then 100% the guantlet match will be referenced. In the build up. Even if it doesn't it's still a trm of foreshadowing. That would actually be an example of WWE showing and not telling.
Why not follow it up straight away? Err because why the fuck not lmao. Finish off the Owens fued with a bow and now you got the next fued aready lined up. Not everything needs to be followed up straight away that is short sighted. You are literally being the perception that Vince has of wrestling fans.
You probably just been condtioned by WWE to hate on it because they have lost all trust with their audience because of continuous bad booking. That's fair enough but you can't say I'm looking too deeply into it and say that you have dismantled my points when you just haven't. I'm making valid points that you can choose to agree with or not but in a few months when we see what is doing Nakamura then we can see who was right. I'm sure they will do Nakamura vs Roman but they may not as they can drop But I don't judge it on the royal rumble card, that is very short sighted. No wonder we don't do long term booking when thats the reaction they get from their audience.
How can you say it's absurd pointless when you haven't even given the chance to see the aftermath. This is a week to week form of entertainment. You are not going to get content all at once like a movie or book. You have to accept that.
Moan at WWE when they don't follow it up not before they could follow it up. There is a sell by date in this I suppose. It's only been 2 weeks tho. This will be an interesting thread nce we see what happens.
The goal of the guantlet was to position Nakamura as a contender for the title after him being in a failing tag team. So if he does have a match with Roman, how the hell does that make it worthless?
If your expectation is that guantlet match was to make Nakamurathe next Stone Cold then that is ridiculous
