it is. we all got so used to saying hyperbole and everything, i get it, but this is an all time f***ing stupid move that will haunt them if everything with cody isn't literally perfect even then, even if stuff ends up perfect with cody, they really ruined something HHH had an all-timer of a MOMENT fall directly into his lap, and he spit on it. One of the biggest dropped balls ever. I'm not even sure I'd say they dropped it... it's far more intentional than that they f***ing spiked it into the ground.

One of the biggest dropped balls ever. Agreed. Yes, there tends to be hyperbole but if Drew wins the belt this becomes an All Time Great PPV without question and while it is still a very good one, it has a sour taste of "hometown boy" taking an L Add on how hot Drew got again and him missing a proper run after carrying the company during the Pandemic and you missed a big moment in wrestling. Like I said about Sheamus that ovation he got probably meant more than any World Championship and I think Drew winning would meant more than any Mania moment he could ever had

Far as I'm concerned nothing with Cody, or the Rock or Madcap or whoever the hell finally ends this reign can be even slightly worth the ride getting there. Nothing. I still insist the Hangman destination wasn't worth the journey so sure as hell never going to be won over by this pile of shit or convinced it was all worth it.

As far as booking goes it is a rare L for him and it is a big one that will follow him until he gets it right Sin Cara and Kharma were his big flops to start and this fits in that class on a bigger level

One of the biggest dropped balls ever. For a company with such a massive boner for "OMG MOMENT!" moments, they are often really god damned afraid to just let them happen organically. So regularly they trip over their own dick to prevent a logical, organic, moment be birthed from the progress of events that they often set out themselves, because said thing isn't what they had specifically planned...even though they (usually) have total control of the ship. Like no one FORCED them to make Drew the headline challenger in a PPV in the UK. They did that themselves. No one forced them to give Drew Broken Dreams as part of his build up hype media package. All the dominoes that lined up to point directly to, "Strap Drew up today", they laid out themselves! So just pull the god damned trigger!

I still insist the Hangman journey wasn't worth the destination so sure as hell never going to be won over by this pile of shit or convinced it was all worth it. Yeah, this reign has had multiple times it should have ended by now...not to mention multiple times Roman should have at least suffered any kind of setback.... that really there's no way that this reign can end anywhere near satisfactory becuase Roman has buried EVERYONE on the Roster multiple times.

That 5 vs. 5 match honestly shouldn't have happened if Tony Khan had known Hangman was going to be taking time off last year before All Out.

I wouldn't even care if they turned Drew heel after this, even though he's a natural face. A little dramatic? Maybe, but damn, that ending left me feeling so sad. It's just going to be hard for me to care about him after he choked and celebrated like a loser geek after the match, at least for a while.

I'm honestly half expecting them at this point to just be all, "Welp, there's no one left to challenge me, so I'll be on my way" and Roman goes on a prolonged break and they just have tournaments on Raw and SD! to crown new WWE and Universal champions. That's how god damn dire the main event scene is, legitimacy-wise, now.

That 5 vs. 5 match honestly shouldn't have happened if Tony Khan had known Hangman was going to be taking time off last year before All Out. Yea, the Hangman run was hurt two fold by the chase getting extended and then the run itself not being great. Hangman didn't feel important but had very good matches That's going be a problem for whoever comes after Roman. How can they rehab the title in a sense of not having the same dominant reign. Like even if Cody wins, he doesn't need the title more than 6 months. I really wouldn't mind title reigns going back to 3-4 month as you need a few short ones to add some unpredictability again

That 5 vs. 5 match honestly shouldn't have happened if Tony Khan had known Hangman was going to be taking time off last year before All Out. Even before that I had a lot of issues with that whole thing. Basically the only reason not to have just done the match at Double or Nothing, where Hangman had been number one contender going into it and Kenny had jack shit going on until two weeks before it, was, "We want Kenny's reign to be longer," and if the only reason you're keeping a story going is to pad the page count then just end it already.

Sort of happened in TNA when they brought in Aron Rex and turned Drew heel after he failed to capture any titles for a while

Theory isn't helping with this because there's a ticking clock on him with the briefcase and at this point it's already abundantly clear his options are, "Fail the cash-in," "Cash in on whoever wins the belt from Roman before Money in the Bank," or, "Be used to split the belts." He's not someone anyone actually buys as having a snowball's chance in hell of beating Roman himself so him having the briefcase just exists as a plot device you have to write around for now but eventually have to pay off.

Right. He's basically been a big goober which I don't mind but either have him cash in and lose or have him lose the case to someone. He's not booked to be on the top guys level and that's fine but he's going further and further backwards At this point i'd be fine if he just cashed in one title to just get a title off Roman only for Theory to immediatly lose it to like Rollins or something

And if not for injury most likely Cody would been the guy to win it and probably done a cash in by now They went with Theory with no clear plan but to just make him bigger by association with the case and it is more like when Otis won it and it is a clear prop they have no intention of using. I still say Otis should announced the match he wanted and lost to Braun in clean fashion. It would got him over as a fighter but fallen short
