Jey Uso 2020 only appreciation thread

[The Rick Jericho]

Yes, we're tired of them all in 2022.

But this was a great feud and build back in 2020. Jey was so interesting people were wanting him to win the IC title. It felt like he finally had a singles breakthough. Then his brother showed in 2021 and all was over. There was a very small period in time that he actually kind of felt special.

Did anyone else enjoy the mini feud and Roman basically putting Jey down left and right?

[J is Justice]

It was amazing. The two matches they had are probably the most invested I've been in anything since I came back. The Wild Samoans coming out to "crown" Roman was awesome. I thought they were gonna get Rikishi involved eventually and also The Rock. And it was all gonna end with Jey winning the championship.

What a waste.

I wouldn't even be mad if he dethroned Roman.

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

He should have beaten Roman. Bean saying that from (ahem) DAY ONE.

[Chiral]

The promo he cut where Roman was like "lol loser I'm gonna beat you easily like always lil bro" and as he's on the ramp Jey goes "What if you're wrong?" still sticks with me. Those first few months of Head of the Table Reigns were f***ing golden.

Great, great feud. Some pro-wrestling drama incarnate at that time.

he should've beat Roman for the belt

It actually felt like there was a character to the Roman beats everyone thing instead of just... well Roman beats everyone.

Like the dude was paranoid he didn't have it anymore and his entire Head of the Table Tribal Chief stick was basically a front... and a crutch to make sure he was still the ace... and he talked a lot of trash about doing it for the benefit of the family only for him to then go and beat the shit out of his cousins.

Then basically all of that disappears and Jey just goes back to disposable henchman...

then Jimmy comes back and does a rather short storyline where he claims to be no ones bitch... only to quickly be slotted into role of disposable henchman number 2.

If Roman's reign was anything like the first couple of months all the way through it would have been golden but it wasn't... and even if it was like that for more of it... it should have been well over by now.

I laugh that they still call him ‘Main event Jey Uso’.

They had their chance to make a main event star but had him go right back to the status quo. The dissension between The Uso’s & Roman made for great TV. I wish they would tease it again.

Main Event Jey Uso was fire. Still say they should gave him an IC title reign but I am hoping before it is all said and done we get more of Usos/Reigns drama as they were doing some good TV and Roman was really killing it as a character

The Hell In A Cell Match is a classic that shouldn't be forgotten about.
