Let's not forget about the guys who would kick out of finishers and win with hitting their finishers once. Hogan Austin Rock Triple H Undertaker John Cena Now Reigns He's getting the top guy treatment. Something that has been a staple of WWE booking for decades. You protect your top guy. That's what they do. We don't all have to like it, but seeing the constant outpouring of hatred of Reigns week in and week out for the very same booking WWE has been guilty of for decades, is growing very tiresome. He isn't getting the "top guy" treatment. He's getting the John Cena treatment. Two guys we were forced to like and accept as the "top guy" because Vince has a hard-on for them. Hell, Reigns is already a 3x world champion in the span of around 90 days... Incorrect. It's the top guy treatment. They get protected much moreso than others. Often at other top superstars' expense. And we weren't forced to like Cena. The fans put Cena in that spot. I'm not sure if you watched WWE in 04-05, but he wasn't forced at all.

Where has apollo crews been? When he got called up, I had a feeling that this would happen. He got called up from NXT way too soon he kinda just quietly disappeared I agree he needed more time in nxt

Ahhhhh, ok. Yeah becasue I think that's what I was trying to say but I wasn't specific enought. Like yeah people take more than one spear in a match, but how many are actually getting speared, Roman goes for the cover IMMEDIATELY, and then kick out. Because yeah, guys are getting speared all the time on the outside, through tables, they get speared and fly out of the ring, they get speared and the ref gets pulled out or distracted....It just seems like, except for Brock, I couldn't remember if anybody else recently had been speared and then kicked out of an IMMEDIATE pin attempt by Reigns. I remember Dean kicked out of an immediate pin attempt after he got speared at Survivor Series. We're talking about kicking out of the finishers No you said that Reigns beat Styles "in one spear". Which is wrong and its why I corrected it. Yes, he beat him IN one spear, not WITH one spear

Yes, he beat him IN one spear, not WITH one spear So what's wrong? Beating your opponent in a finisher seems normal to me.

Why give these guys the "call up", only to not use them. It's bad in two ways. #1: It hurts NXT. NXT no longer has Apollo Crews. I feel like he was really starting get get momentum, his match with Finn Balor was great. #2: As a fan of Apollo Crews, I have no way to see this guy. He's not on NXT anymore, and he's not being used on RAW or Smackdown....so how am I supposed to see him? It's like he's just....gone. Unless they are going to use guys on RAW and/or Smackdown, just leave them in NXT so at least they can be seen. To take them away from NXT only to not use them seems counterproductive.

You're right, he earned that spot with his character at that moment. He was over with the "Doctor of Thuganomics" character. BUT, The "Super Cena" character, was what we were forced to like. Again, it's not the "top guy" treatment, it's the "John Cena" treatment aka "Vince's guy" treatment. The difference between everyone you listed and Cena and Reigns, is that Austin, Rock, HHH, Taker, were all naturally over

In a high profile, World title, PPV match after taking 2 Styles Clashes, one on a chair, kicking out of both, then taking 5-7 chair shots to just get up and win it in one spear? Far from normal my friend...

I don't think Crews was called up. Seemed more like a showcase match to give the fans a taster of what he can do. He has been touring with the main roster, though, given his appearances on Main Event.

Oh good, Overwatch. The world has found its new generationally aimed flash in the pan gaming title that will get a movie 15 years from now that nobody wants. Nothing like a mindless FPS with cellphone game simplicity to rally the masses.

Far from normal my friend... Match ended with a impactful mid-air spear. Seems more than normal to me. Styles took two spears in the match(one mid-air, the other on the outside), mid-air/counter superman punch to the outside, went through two announce tables, etc. Let's not pretend the guy went down with nothing.

Again, this is the finish I'm talking about here, approximately the last 5 minutes of the match, from the first Styles Clash to the 3 count, not the middle of the match. But I guess I can't convince you the match had a BS finish

Hell, Reigns is already a 3x world champion in the span of around 90 days... Thing is, is that Cena established himself over 3 years as a singles competitor before he won the WWE title and then a year later was solidified as the top guy. Roman was fresh out of the shield. Beat Orton in the only PPV match of his singles run in 2014 and won and then somehow won Superstar of the year. Followed by a Royal Rumble win and a win over the most popular guy (Daniel Bryan) in WWE after they had Bryan constantly put him over in their promos.

Nothing like a mindless FPS with cellphone game simplicity to rally the masses. I don't think it's anything like your typical FPS. I played the beta and it's a fun, different take on the genre. Almost feels like a modern TF2.

Nothing like a mindless FPS with cellphone game simplicity to rally the masses. It looks terrible. I played the beta. It is terrible. It's filled with all kinds of cheap feel good tricks with no longevity or actual purpose in sight. It's a next gen platformed cellphone game. All cosmetic mayhem with virtually no substance. I get trying to do something new in the FPS space, which is actually kind of just a recycled twist, but this isn't the answer to revitalize the genre. In a year with Doom, Gears 4, FF15, Darksouls 3, Kingdom Hearts 3, and Uncharted 4, it's nothing to concern yourself with imo. No Man's Sky looks like the new IP to pay attention to of 2016. I guess we'll see.
