Yeah was a typo, good matches is what I meant... dunno, this feud feels like it's just continuing the "Oh look we're totally shooting here" thing just because the first segment worked well. Still perfectly good, since it's the first time in a while I'm actually kind of intrigued by a storyline, but they need Reigns to just get pissed soon and start kicking Cena's ass instead of trying to take him on on the mic.

Cena making Roman look a complete joke on the mic every week is galling. I understand the intrigue in worked shoots but it smells of lazy booking. Surely they could come up with something interesting with two of their biggest stars while remaining true to kayfabe?

I dunno, the whole feud is a big disappointment to me so far.

Dude you gotta start watching NJPW. They book their top guys properly, it's planned out well in advance (around 12 months iirc) and the stories are actually engaging.

Watch these two vids about the Tanahashi and Okada fued and how it was booked over the space of years to transition the company to a new era, really shows how good the long term booking is.

I've been told there's no legal way of watching it in India, otherwise I'd have been there yesterday.

Cena is repeatedly making Roman look a clown on the mic for sure. What draws me in though is that this is two of the E's bona fide stars in a program.together. I think Reigns will beat him, but whenever you get two genuine A listers lined up like this, it always grabs my attention, even.if the elements of the feud itself are a bit eh.

I mean, they've clearly given Reigns the go.to give as good as he gets, it's not their fault that he's just not on Cena's level.

It's on creative imo. These are their two biggest stars and this is the best they can do? Logical booking is to hide the negatives and accentuate the positives and they've hung their next "face of the company" out to dry.

Cena even saying "This one's not on me, Roman's burying himself" was so bad on so many levels for me. They've made Roman look a joke even if he does win the match/series and I'm starting to hate Cena now too for his part in all this. It stinks.

Also means there is not much intrigue into the match up as Reigns has to win as he has been killed so far. I don't mind them shooting, but at times it can come across as lazy and can really hurt a worker. I love The Miz and dislike Enzo, but I hated the promo from the Miz the other night, superbly delivered.. Enzo is challenging for the 205 title, the show is dying on its arse ratings wise and they make the challenger look such a whiny obnoxious dork? :laugh:

Why on earth would a casual bother tuning into 205 a show that desperately needs interest?:wacko:
