Hah just adjust whomever you’re getting your PW from bc I’m not seeing any of that chatter in the places I lurk even after it came out the kid wasn’t in fact a plant.
The most hand-wringing I’ve seen this weekend (and justifiably so) is the Fed profiting off a new Chyna documentary and someone bringing back up how fucked up that Booker T/HHH feud was (though that possibly was just a continuation of a Fuck Hunter thread stemming from Chyna)
Whether he was a plant or not is totally irrelevant to my point...It's a fucking wrestling show with a Texas death match where a guy stabbed another guy with a fork, ripped his hair out, and then got lynched with a chain...and they're losing their minds over a kid getting splashed with water. I really can't imagine living my life trying so hard to find things to be outraged over. These idiots would call for child molestation charges if you put the bushwackers on the card.
MJF is a work of art though. Yet another great match and title defense despite the fact he supposedly can't work. Enjoyed the Meltzer shout out too. Then he almost topped the match by showing up to presser in Punk cosplay, munching down on a big jar of pickles (what else would the worlds greatest heel snack on?), and saying he did it because "The kid looked thirsty." Just beautiful stuff.
I guess that's the blow-off and it's a good spot to end it. The story was a little tired but those 2 are so good they don't need much to make it work. I think it was one of those iron sharpens iron things where Bryan stepped his mic game up and Max stepped his mat game up and the feud was good as a result. The right guy won too... Part of me was scared Tony was going to give in to the marks complaining about MJF being a bad champion because they don't understand what a heel is. He gets to add arguably his biggest scalp and earn some respect while Danielson isn't really hurt by it and can be made right back into a credible threat with like one big win. Perfect outcome.
Dunno what direction they'll end up going, but after last night the only thing I really want to see is Hangman vs MJF. The modern baby face vs the modern heel and both dudes can talk people into the building, plus it's a guaranteed banger.
