Jaysin Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah. He talks about his time in various companies while wrestling guys like Kazarian and Abyss using mystical powers. I bought it strictly to show support to my favorite wrestler of all time, but so so so bad! To top that off, all these supposed historical matches are happening in the Impact zone in a six sided ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milamber Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Not as good as last week's Raw. The crowd were a bit lame, although they didn't crap on the Divas match which was nice. I like the focus on the IC title and the midcard. I hope they run with that long term. And turn the US title a TV title. Evolution vs The Shield should be a good feud to keep those guys busy while Bryan has his run at the top. I actually like Cena playing up his sickening babyface schtick and dumping on the Wyatts. For most smarks Cena is the heel and Bray is the babyface in this feud, so it makes sense to highlight the contrasting characters/styles. It'll be worth it if Bray wins at Extreme Rules.

It would've felt weird if Bryan hadn't tried since they saved him the previous week, but of course he wasn't there. It just felt like someone should have at least come out and said "This isn't right" or something and then have Hunter intimidate them into backing down.
