Was a really fun match live, but man.......I can't go past Cena/Styles......the crowd was on its feet and were loud the whole match....sure it was a finisher spam....but I loved every single second of it.

Ill watch it again to get my overall vibe but TBH Priest and Black 2 of my top 5 wrestlers so its a bit of that for me too

Easily Cenas best match in his return though. Feel a few matches been wasted on his retirement tour but this wasnt one of them.

Seth going over clean like that was just dumb as **** also. They had the chance to elevate a star and didnt take it. The Vision is more or less meant to be about the fact Seth isnt at Codys level... but then now he is with nothing really changing drastically. It makes no sense

Id have liked Theory to come out and join The Vision myself. If not Theory then bring Oba Femi up from NXT or something. It was just a mess of a ending

Seth going over clean was the right call.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Seth going over clean waa the right call.

He had to go over but clean to me was just a complete waste. Seth didnt need the double rub that it gave him. Put Theory/Oba Femi in the stable

Did you expect any different when around 70% of the crowd were in Cena shirts? Obviously was going to be loud.

He did need it.

Lost to Cody 3 times before. People don't treat him like a legitimate champion. This adds some layers.

Of course man, I was one of the many in Cena shirts, but I don't know, it hit different being there.

That was genuine euphoria to experience live.

Its legit the only shirt still available today

It was either buy a Cena shirt or nothing. Crazy how bad they have done stocking the shops up

Note to self: I need to buy a Seth or Carmelo shirt before ever going to one of these things

I imagine quite a fair bit of the crowd were people who only bought tickets to Crown Jewel so they could see Cena which probably helped

Went to get a OTC1 shirt all they had was junior, wanted a Fatu shirt all they had was junior or extra large , besides the Cena shirt only shirt they had in large was Penta

 

[Wickzki]

Crowd full or cena merch that's incredible

I've never owned a Cena shirt.

There was no way I was going home without this one.

I know there's Crown Jewel specific merch but this Cena shirt is THE tour shirt

 

[Wickzki]

You are a thick campaigner ?

Sick campaigner.

Was lucky enough to get an OTC1 shirt on opening day. Thanking my lucky stars for it.

 

[Wickzki]

Huh, surprisingly poor pop for Vaquer/Stratton

Was louder in the stadium than on television.

Watching the video of the US anthem back fails to do it justice. You couldn't hear the singing over the crowd.

 

[Wickzki]

We getting into " MOTY " territory ?

I went to WrestleMania 22 in Chicago. I think in 20 years time I'll rememebr this match just as fondly as the blazing tables match.

Both guys played their role perfectly and the crowd was up for them even if it didn't come across on television.

My partner wanted a Bronson Reed shirt and the SuperStore was sold out before I got there lunch time yesterday and sold out of her size at the arena when I got there at 3pm.

 

[MarcMaverick]

BTW Iyo is now an Aussie.

I figured they’d still have it by last night. Didn’t even think it was logical they’d sell out that early

 

[Cleavy]

Doesn't he run the Wrestlecrap site ? I read somewhere that's him

lol, no. R.D. Reynolds runs Wrestlecrap

 

[Cleavy]

4 appearances left so probably 2 matches

allegedly the plan for Cena's last 2 matches are:

Spoiler

vs Dom for IC Title at Survivor Series
vs Gunther in his final match at SNME

 

[Nicho50]

Incredible couple of nights with a mix of everything in terms of styles of matches.

The Cena AJ match was done to perfection. The finisher spam in this instance because it made a sense as a tribute to those who have helped both of these guys throughout their long careers. It was a tribute which suited the match.

When you put two faces together especially with no real story or there is nothing in terms of the outcome it suited it perfect. It was a million times better than those matches with 5 thousand super kicks and monkey flips

It’s been a home run for Perth already. The turn outs on the news spots, the events themselves, superstore lines etc have been massive and that visual last night of the Cena yellow was incredible.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Cena vs AJ Styles definetly match of the event all so. Maybe match of the year

A amazing part of it I read and only noticed once mentioned is they never left the ring. Never went outside. It was just all gas and no breaks. The match needed the spammed finisher style in the sense that it brought surprise and intrigue into the match. We all knew Cena was winning so to still have surprises in the match took it to another level .

Hate the Gunther part but get why also . Id rather the matches be the other way around in a sense

Yeah I heard that. Very bizarre. Like they forgot he was Australian all . You compare the Rhea Crown Jewel Shirts to Reed ones and feels like 20/1 in Rheas direction and thats just because they didnt make enough

I don't hate that,Better than running it back with old rivals again
