All you had to do was stick the landing, and you cap off an all-time show for the territory and have the UK in your corner for years to come. Instead, you don’t. Instead, you take the different writer and put a new page in the same well-worn book that the old writer used. Wrestling isn’t horseshoes and hand grenades. At the end of the day, close doesn’t count. McIntyre may not have lost cleanly, but unfortunately he still lost. And with that, you lose a lot of the spark that the new management had brought in, you lose a lot of the spark from the UK audience and you lose a lot of the spark in terms of people’s interest in McIntyre. He’s never going to have circumstances line up this perfectly for him to win a world title in such an epic way ever again. What plagued the Vince regime was the constant stream of always expecting the worst outcomes, because eventually they would do that. Maybe not this show or the next one, but eventually, and that fed the cycle in perpetuity. Triple H came in with a relatively clean slate, and instead fed the cycle. Like I kept saying to borrow an old phrase you ran the risk of "killing the territory" as far as the UK is concerned with this type of shit You also run your fans into a bad mindset after you had a ton of goodwill. He may regret this as he won't get a feel good moment like this until Cody and that's months from now You going have to have Cody win the Rumble and basically do the same thing Becky did which was never look weak and leave no doubt he's becoming champ

I totally get everybody who is disappointed in the ending, I was the exact same way when Edge didn't beat Roman at WrestleMania 37. Both were the perfect stories to end Roman's run. I don't even know what to think about the decision. I don't think Drew is the top guy to beat Roman, but now Drew is ruined. They probably should've went with Drew winning and then Roman quickly getting the title back with the Bloodline. That way you can still have Cody be the guy who beats the Bloodline at full strength.

I don’t get. I really don’t. To me, this is the exact type of moment you’ve been building toward. Or at least it’s supposed to be. You’ve got the hometown hero going up against the unstoppable monster. You have a crowd just waiting to give you the kind of reaction you’ve built an empire on. And you just throw it all away because, new captain at the helm or not, the company wide heat boner rages on.

Drew should've won, even if I prefer Roman. The loss was bad but the singing after was so pathetic. Wtf were they thinking? Like Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-] said, at least Lex technically won his match, lol.

How can someone even believably beat Roman at this point? Dude was scared out of his mind with all of his usual flunkies out of the way and took three Claymores in like two minutes and he still f***ing won. How is anyone supposed to beat the guy in a way that doesn't come off as a massive anticlimax after that? What they want you to feel is Roman can''t beat the best one on one since Drew took his best shots and kicked out of his shot. Match was supposed to be over with Spear and Claymore HOWEVER, big gameplan Roman is f**ing dull. If you know he's going to find a way to cheat every win, you f*** up your finishes which has been a problem most of the matches. Like the Summerslam match worked because it was chaotic as hell. The stuff they did with this or KO does not because babyfaces should be smart enough to counter this gameplan The one thing HHH is gonna have to learn from Tony. Your babyfaces can't ALWAYS come alone when the heel has goons after goons after goons.

Just a bewildering decision. Even if he was injured and about to take time off I STILL would have put the belt on Drew because sometimes the moment is warranted. This had been built up so well and it all came crashing down.
I cannot believe what a fumble this was.

It's not all lost as of yet I'd say, but this is really, really bad. What was even worse was the aftermath where Drew and Tyson celebrated like he did something, and only seemed to really give the crowd further apathy. Like how do you even attempt to smokescreen it like that? That was atrocious. The guise was already starting to wear thin, HHH guys suddenly coming back and getting the hard push, Non HHH guys kinda getting shoved to the side, the yearly bad PR interview from HHH lol, and now the continuation of the ROMAN WINS FOREVER story that people were sick of last year if not longer. This is a Honeymoon period that could end really fast if they're not careful with it.

I can't imagine Solo joins The Bloodline cause the main point of his absolutely bonkers lore is that he was cast out of the family cause Rikishi was like THIS BOY IS WEAK or something. Also this lore was presumably written by a very Sexy Boy so it's sacred text that cannot be altered. I HATE LIFE DUDE LMAO

"So what upsides does Solo Sikoa have?"
Well, he hasn't had a DUI yet?
"And?"
No, that's literally it. His gimmick in NXT was he was different from the other brothers because Rikishi ditched him. Now he doesn't even have that, and he STILL wrestles exactly like the third Uso.

I get the hate for this, but all the same I really think whoever defeats Roman should be someone who has never won a world championship before.

Now we have to take Triple H and his different problems on as they come.

Just pass it around the Bloodline until they all retire. Main Event Jey wins it. Roman goes through a story where he’s now Uso bitch, then Jimmy wins it, then eventually Solo and it all circles back to Roman reclaiming the head of the table 4 years down the line then we can recreate this whole run again!!!
