CI Wrestling Thread #56

If they didn't want a big name to win they should have let Logan Paul take it. At least that wouldn't have been such a dud and would have caused somewhat of a buzz.

Outside of Jey's entrance, I don't see much there for me.

If you think about it, Jey went from tag team to singles fighting for the IC title to fans worldwide getting behind him to having opportunities for a world title to winning the Rumble and ensuring a main event spot at Mania. For old school fans like myself who like watching someone go from A to B to C and not necessarily A to C (MITB, gauntlet matches, random undeserving title matches), last night was sort of refreshing. It's why I used to love career mode in WWE games. You'd start on Heat or something, then SD, then Raw and PPVs, then you'd get title matches. Gunther vs Jey doesn't scream "main event of WM" but it completely makes sense and totally works...it's just a night one thing while a Cody vs Cena match would entirely overshadow it.
He also sells a ton of merch so it’s almost an earned not given thing - the same people (iwc) that wanted Cena to win were the same that didn’t like the years long super Cena phase.
