As I've already said... For you Nakamura not equating to anything equals to him not in the title match at the royal rumble. Why am I adhering to your made up rules? I disagree with that completely. I think that is extremely short terminism. That is not because I'm 'looking too deeply into it'. I just don't think you can that judgement when I think Nakamura will get a title shot based of the push he got in the guantlet in the bear future...then I agree that they have squandered it. But even still that doesn't mean that Nakamura not being in the match at the rumble = nothing. Like why is there a expiory date? What's the logic in that?

Fair enough if you think it won't happen. If it doesn't happen then yh I agree they wasted it. But I don't see how you can make that judgement because he isn't getting an immediate title shot lol. Likewise I will admit I was wrong if he doesn't get a title shot, you should admit your wrong if he does, because your argument if the gauntlet meaning anything doesn't hold up.

The week after the guantley, Nakamura literally beat the man who screwed him the previous week hahaha. Sure could of done with a more direct promo from Nakamura, but that isn't a argument supporting that the guantlet was a waste. They have literally did what you are saying they didn't. Nakamura best Jimmy Uso look it up. Sure I can critic the segment for sure. But then again it's Nakamura. The guy doesn't express his thoughts in promos he kinda just takes the piss and thats it. Show don't tell. That's always been the case for Nakamura even in NJPW. I look in both sides.

If they have a ppv match then 100% the guantlet match will be referenced. In the build up. Even if it doesn't it's still a trm of foreshadowing. That would actually be an example of WWE showing and not telling.

Why not follow it up straight away? Err because why the fuck not lmao. Finish off the Owens fued with a bow and now you got the next fued aready lined up. Not everything needs to be followed up straight away that is short sighted. You are literally being the perception that Vince has of wrestling fans.

You probably just been condtioned by WWE to hate on it because they have lost all trust with their audience because of continuous bad booking. That's fair enough but you can't say I'm looking too deeply into it and say that you have dismantled my points when you just haven't. I'm making valid points that you can choose to agree with or not but in a few months when we see what is doing Nakamura then we can see who was right. I'm sure they will do Nakamura vs Roman but they may not as they can drop But I don't judge it on the royal rumble card, that is very short sighted. No wonder we don't do long term booking when thats the reaction they get from their audience.

How can you say it's absurd pointless when you haven't even given the chance to see the aftermath. This is a week to week form of entertainment. You are not going to get content all at once like a movie or book. You have to accept that.

Moan at WWE when they don't follow it up not before they could follow it up. There is a sell by date in this I suppose. It's only been 2 weeks tho. This will be an interesting thread nce we see what happens.

The goal of the guantlet was to position Nakamura as a contender for the title after him being in a failing tag team. So if he does have a match with Roman, how the hell does that make it worthless?

If your expectation is that guantlet match was to make Nakamurathe next Stone Cold then that is ridiculous
No

How predictable. I just knew you were not gonna even bother debating that. But hey if Nakamura gets dropped and not get a push then I will agree with you. Just don't like the thinking that it HAS to happen at the rumble

you're missing the point. The reason why most of us think that Roman should face Nakamura or someone else at RR is...

It was a unjust decision to have Adam do KO dirty work then KO walks with his beer gut and take his place.

You can say it over and over and he won’t listen. Pointless and heartless.

Most of us? No you are in the minority.

Dirty work? Nah not at all. You clearly just have a problem with KO. Nothing unjust about it. It's just heels getting beat at their own game.

Roman Reigns tried to manufacture a title match between him and Pearce. Pearce and KO colluded with each other to double bluff the heel who deserved it. What about that is dirty work? Why wouldn't Pearce do that? Roman literally threw KO off the thunder dome and you think it's silly that the field continues.

Ridiculous and deluded thinking that you hold the opinions of the majority

Alright, ya got me a tad intrigued. I'm gonna watch the last couple SD's to see if Nakamura is any more entertaining than the last time I seen him when he was just the guy with the music.

I love his other work, WWE just really knows how to put a sour taste into everything. Only because Rumble is coming up though, I've run out of 2nd chances for WWEs programming

The thing is I’m not saying Nak is like the most entertaining guy on the planet, he’s not. However, his matches and connection with the crowd I think are better and it would’ve been a nice change of pace to throw him into the mix.

That’s why I suggested that he get the gauntlet win and perhaps KO does something like still attack reigns and like hits Jey with a car or something crazy and Roman has like no choice but to give him a title shot because KO is demanding it or he will break Heymans leg or something. This would lead to Pearce to forcing a triple threat match and since those have no DQ any ways, KO can get all crazy and extreme on reigns on vice versa while Nak also gets his deserved treatment. You let those 3 fight for about 30 mins at the rumble and do it right, easily match of the night.

Why are you acting like my opinion is wrong when ive used nothing but logic to back up my points. I've even said that if Nakamura does get forgotten then you are right ffs.

Your argument is the guantlet match was a waste because it wasn't followed up on at the very next ppv. I'm saying it will be followed up in the near future. If it doest then I agree with you. I don't see how this is an argument haha.

You can say it over and over and he won’t listen. Pointless, heartless, and gay
Gay?

the thing that I’ve learned, kid-O, is that if I really wanted to debate ya, i would win, but ya gotta just drop some things when something isn’t honestly worth it. Ya know? It would maybe be different if the opposition was listening and had a decent point, neither of which is going on. Ya know?

If you break down the debate there isn't even much opposition between us. You disliked the guantlet because it was meaningless and I disagree with it cuz it will inevitably lead to a match between Nakamura and Roman making it not meaningless.

Wait for that match to happen and I win

Calling someone gay because they disagree with you. Yh that's hilarious and pathetic.

"but ya just gotta drop some things" Hahahahhahaha

Why don't you practice what you preach

He can definitely go in the ring... the WWE style hinders him. A triple threat may have been the way to go. I'd like to see a stiffer style brawl with them going all out on each other though since fits them all.
