    Drew's music was supposed to hit during the pinfall and distract the ref. Rollins gets an out by being robbed, Drew gets an out because of Punk and Preist retains. Thats why Priest was so pissed at the end when he won, the audio team acrewed him.

      I wouldn’t say that it was Priest’s fault by the looks of the match. I’d say that the sound guy was going to play Drew’s theme and have the music stop the count, and have Drew walk/run down to cash in. But, if it’s Damien’s fault, these things can and have happened. There’s always a whiff somewhere down the line, and it’s unfortunate that the whiff happened during a main event title run that is held by a secondary title player right now.

    • @kamilj1521
      @kamilj1521 Місяць тому

      Yes, but the thing with Orton was this "youngest world champion" so he had time on his side , Priest is like over 40 and Randy with Batista where under HHH's umbrella in Evolution gimmick set up as top guys in years to come. If Priest would start in WWE system few years earlier and where put in this or The Shield type of project then today might been a different story.
      By the way Priest had like Kane type of gimmick in ROH and was enhancement talent on TV for most of his carrer so i would say what he's doing now is still improvement. It's like Mahal thing, you need to be put on the spot before you get the spot.

      The botch made both Seth and Damien look like chumps, and revoking the stipulation of DP about "Seth never challenging for the title" night on RAW made zero sense after the botch pinfall, Seth instead of getting furious with Referer diverting his focus on Punk made it more anti-climactic. DP not appearing on the ring was a wise choice because fans would have chanted "You got Pin".
      Fans are going to remember the botch for a long time, the only to correct this was to create an angle out of this botch which WWE didn't do, now they will have to make Gunther win strap, and make Balor turn on him in SS. That way the fans attention from the botch can be diverted.

Then, when Dude Love turns heel and Mr. McMahon brings dancing strippers to cheer him up, Austin laughs at both of them. This is because he broke character and laughed IRL, but I think it also adds a new dimension to the already existing character. And yes, he was annoyed by Mankind, but he also puts him over as a tough sob on commentary even when he was a heel. Then, he also famously screwed Rocky and Vince by making Mankind win the championship. Foley is one of the few wrestlers who actually kinda befriended the antisocial Stone Cold.

    I've heard conflicting things. I've heard the sound guy missed his cue and was late in Drews entrance distracting Seth, I've also heard Priest had his bell rung during the suplex spots and forgot/didnt know he had to kick out. Its a shame because whatever happened was just an accident and it took the shine off of what was an incredible story.

    • @DaggerPrince
      @DaggerPrince Місяць тому +2

      yea im pretty sure it had to be the sound guy not playing Drews music. because thatd do too much for the storylines to not be the case - Seths count would get interrupted by Drew, so hes mad at him And mad at Punk for later intervining, setting up the Three Way where Seth would be angry at Both, not just at Punk. and with Damian the Judgement Day could be angry at him saying "You wouldve lost if Drews music didnt hit, youre a weak leader" and you could set up a feud there too. So way too many things make sense if the Music hits during the pinfall, that imo its impossible for this to not be the outcome they wanted.

    And Props to Cole for that shot were he's popping like a teenie bopper, and a line he delivered that should have been timed and executed better as it got lost ("Holy Sh&t, it's CM Punk!"), and could be used as one of their modern day version of JR's quotes.

    I’m a fan of Priest but he’s been booked poorly. He wasn’t over at World Championship level when he cashed in to win the title. If he was going to be THE guy, he needed some good matches & decisive victories to be a convincing World Champion.
    Instead, Jay Uso had him beat in his first PPV as champ & McDonagh saved him. Drew had him beat in Glasgow in a match the featured a huge botch & Punk saved him. Seth had him beat (in another huge botch) & another Punk run in saved him.
    The title has to go to Gunther next month.

    His aura is an issue and an example is that botch with the pin... He should of kicked out (if not story related). He instinct was to follow the script rather than kick out. He moves his hands in disappointment…
    First the rope issue in Scotland, then the delay for Drew to come in.. he needs to take the ball as he will never have another reign after this.
    The importance of his reign from the higher ups were shown the following night. All they had to have had happened is Finn paying off the ref, or Damien talking to the ref and making it look planned.
    Maybe Finn didn’t have faith in him winning, so paid off the ref?. Either way they needed to put a stamp on that spot because it wasn’t ya average count mistake… Damien then reacts with frustration! Lol..
    But yeah, he feels very scripted as a champion. I just can’t explain but he gives off the energy, this lack of confidence in himself/aura/freedom in his character, especially on the mic…

      Absolutely!
      And, if the Bucks etc did this BECAUSE they are smaller men and it made sense I would be fine with it.
      You and I are in a fight. I am smaller than you (legit I probably am, I'm a 5'9 garden rake, and not a very masculine or tough looking/sounding one either) then I might have problems trading punches. So my options are fight dirty or... in the context of wrestling, resort to extremes to take the fight to you, rather than ahving an unrealistic sequence where I am out wrestling and fighting like a heavyweight with you bumping around for me. The dives should be a necessity that came about logically, NOT just setting up a contrived spot so obviously for me to show I can do flips.
