    When Roman forgets his line... and Cena goes " Go ahead and find it. I'll wait" when the camera pans on Roman's face... poor guy.

    Its that moment right there why die hard fans continue to hate Roman. Can he be booked in matches to look good? Sure. Does he have the look? Sure. But he's so incredibly bad on the mic. From those terrible promo's leading up to the Royal Rumble to now... He just isn't "it" and the fact that Vince forces him on the fans when Vince claims he listens to his audience is offensive to anyone 18-50 that watches the product.

    As I've said before, if you don't like Cena at this point, fuck you.

    I don't know about all that. When you listen to roman's parts it's pretty obvious hat Cena was the one who told him what to say, which means he also told Roman and the other producers backstage what he was going to say. Now Cena being Cena was able to improve some stuff too like when roman forgot his line but I doubt that was unexpected by roman or Vince

    Yeah I'd imagine it was an attempt to get the smarks behind Cena so they don't both get boo'd out of the building at NM. Roman still sank though.

    Joe out 4-6 weeks with a knee

    Xavier looks like he blew out a knee last night. Gotta think ACL :(

    While Cena killed last night, calling out the 4th wall was very cringe. That took it down some for me.

    IDK who thought this was a good idea though...

    Saw that about Woods, really sucks, but at least they do free bird rules so E and Kofi can have the matches for the foreseeable future.

    Watching some Mae Young classic, and just realized Mia Yim's finisher is the same one they gave to Enzo.

    She did it a lot better.

    Not sure exactly what it was, but it happened at a weekend house show

    At least for him, the other main event guys are kinda tied up, so he'd be cycling out of that scene for a month or two anyway

    That's who he is. He's always been a cornball. When he was pushed as an unbeatable, top of the mountain win machine he was insufferable. He's delightful now.

    Well that was dumb, part of the allure of the Open Challenge is you don't know who is coming out. Showing before the break a promo of Baron saying he is going to answer it defeats the purpose....maybe thats just me

    Kinda hate that it had to be such a quick match, but had to be with Corbin lurking and not going for a DQ finish. Assuming Corbin accept next week and Tye costs him.

    So is Corbin just going to interfere and ruin every open challenge... that might be fun

    “The idea was for me to work with AJ on Tuesday, and do nothing with Kevin. And then the match happened on the Sunday and they legitimately screwed it up, it happens sometimes - the finish didn’t work... whatever happened.

    And then there’s all these stories... no, there was never [an emergency phone call from WWE] - I was just gonna be there to play Clint Bobski [during filming of the ‘second tape’ of Southpaw Regional Wrestling] and they’re like, well, put me on the show. That’s why they did the Triple Threat, because they had to get the belt back on AJ because of the screw-up on the weekend.”

    I think my biggest issue with Ziggler is he never comes off natural.

    It always feels like he's trying to act like a wrestler. Its forced...

    Was it just 2 years ago Ryback and Ziggler were close to main event status or was it 2014? It was around Thanksgiving.
