Mens War Games Match Discussion

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

That was some really good story telling and with Sami cementing himself into the Bloodline it will be interesting to see where this is headed 

[Lizuka #BLM]

Wish this shit would get to a f***ing point already but it was a good match.

[Fade]

That was incredible.

Nice juxtaposition with the womens warmatch, whereas that was crazy chaotic, this was hard hitting and ALL character work.

Solo and Ridge got some time to shine. A lot of cool moments and all the drama. For me, that’s a 6 star match simply based on how much of it was character driven.

The hell with Cody. The hell with the Rock. Sami wins the Rumble and challenges Roman at Wrestlemania. Book it, Hunter.

[Facetious]

I'd be annoyed with the Bloodline winning if I actually watched the product, but the match was great for the most part.

[Chiral]

We're like 800+ days into this shit so I shouldn't expect any different but god

[asuka007]

It was great. As for the ending, I think it worked for this match. However, It was a finish that worked for this match.

But Roman and co have to suffer an actual setback at some point. Constantly going “Roman is saved ag the last second by someone else” has been done A LOT at this point.

Particularly given that nobody is remotely on Roman's level.  Drew spent the majority of the finish sitting in the corner like a goof, and he's the designated whipping boy right now, Sheamus is nowhere near Roman's league, and I'm not buying Kevin Owens as a contender.

In their efforts to make people buy Roman as a top guy, they effectively turned everyone else into chumps.

Is this the second or third time that the Bloodline has done the “I’m not sure what side you’re on” we win all of our matches anyway…we drag this out forever…and you were on our side all along storyline.

I know they did it with one of the Usos. It just went on for so long I can’t remember if they did it with both.

[XIII]

Great storytelling.

They've learned absolutely nothing from how after Seth beat Brock at Mania there was nothing for him to do except have an ice cold feud with Corbin for months that destroyed his momentum because there was no one else left.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I loved it and this feels like genuine progression that is leading towards the end for Sami and the Bloodline. We get two months of Sami as top dog, then either he saves KO or gets turned on.

This feels like the beginning of the penultimate chapter instead of endless misery.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Just kind of tired of The Bloodline always winning everything even if it's finally at a 'Great Story, finally some progression" like my dudes this has been going since BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, I'm tired, lmfao

I love Sami in the group though, and if the end game isn't him getting a huge push or moment then I'm gonna be even more pissed.

[Lizuka #BLM]

I'm like 100% convinced that Cody's going to come back, win the Rumble, then lose to Roman at Mania and we'll spend another year limping through this storyline while they hope the Rock can make room in his schedule.

[Jindrak Mark]

The dynamic reminded me of the Fall Brawl 1996 war games. The NWO were so over but the crowd also played along and cheered the Horsemen so it had an incredible atmosphere.

And Sami is the Sting of that match. He committed an act that is heelish and betrayed an old friend but we know that in the end he's going to turn good and fight the bad guys.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

It was absolutely great storytelling. The only downside I see is it absolutely made all the faces in the match complete background characters who ultimately lost after pledging to finally end the Bloodline's dominance. Roman still needs a challenger and while you can build one up on TV, I thought he might get one out of this show and we definitely did not.

[Chris Legentil -- Mind Freak]

Me: Sami Zayn's gonna fumble it tonight oh f*** oh f***

Sami Zayn:

[J is Justice]

I was on the edge of my seat. I even got a little emotional when Sami jumped on the ref instead of KO. I'm curious about where it's going, though, since the conflict within the group seems to be resolved for now.

[asuka007]

If Roman turns on Sami, and it’s actually JEY who is horrified by it and doesn’t want to.

That would be a truly impressive twist.
