Hurry up, i have to go out

 

[Poison]

A lot of you mustn’t have been around for the Flair, Hitman, HBK , Mr Perfect to name a few era.

Storytellers in the ring not spot fests.

If the story is a 52 year-old who can’t go any more, and three guys substantively in self-preservation mode because they have to back up tomorrow, you’re right: this is brilliant storytelling.

 

[Sippa]

Maybe just maybe this shoving Cody down our throat won’t work. Rick was always going to be cheered it’s his last match

How is it shoving him down our throat ? They literally tried to go with rock vs Roman and fans went ****ing ape shit .. this is what they wanted

 

[ptrg]

Haha the Nelson Muntz "he made me bleed!"

Maybe not so many in Philadelphia and surrounds...

It’s been 2 years of it. Not everyone wants Cody either let’s not pretend he’s Some HBK or something.

I remember watching WM1!

Hitman one of my all-time favourites, but it's a different era now.

The sport has changed. Much more focussed on personalities and production over in-ring ability. I still love it.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Haha the Nelson Muntz "he made me bleed!"

Would have been taken from the ground in the AFL

 

[MarcMaverick]

Another F Bomb there.

 

[Constantgin]

To think thanks to rocks ego we got this match instead of Iyo vs bayley.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Dwayne The Hulk Johnson

This tag match is all about psychology which is what Hitman Flair etc all about. It’s not just about big moves and fast flowing pace. It’s about the story in the ring which is also setting up two different stories tomorrow.

 

[YeoShuey]

OMG he speared Rock!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

To think thanks to rocks ego we got this match instead of Iyo vs bayley.

The women’s match was never going to main event

 

[Cyber_punk]

Saw that coming lol

 

[tigland]

Always feel sorry for the Spanish announces

 

[tigland]

Holy shit

 

[MarcMaverick]

Reigns, Rollins and Rhodes are going to have nothing left tommoz.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hahahaha this has been a fantastic main event

 

[Nelso]

This is epic

 

[burge13]

This has been over an hour surely

 

[Nicho50]

Rock through the table… someone was saying something about a 52 year old not putting the body on the line or the other guys have a crack

 

[Ry009]

As far as WWE style matches go, it's been pretty good. And Rock doing far better than I thought he would. Can still hang at his age.

 

[YeoShuey]

Best match of the night

 

[Willo_]

This is great, why are people complaining so much.
And as much as Rock has a massive ego, he is absolutely not afraid to wear a bump
