@NealGardner_ Funny, but not the funniest.
The funniest part is believing that one player can influence a global footballing organisation to be biased towards him and his team...so much so that his authority overrides that of whole nations.
The final agonizing payoff for the months and months of @SamiZayn's over-the-top raging backstage: when he loses the title and you expect him to flip out... and instead he quietly crumples inward into heartbroken sobs.
One of the most valuable names WWE has under contract.
Whether he's lovable babyface. Whether he's messing around with the cast of Jackass. Whether he's a member of The Bloodline.
He knocks every single story out of the park.
What a fucking talent.
Sami Zayn losing the WWE Title in 9 days absolutely sucked.
But I'm not really worried because he creates magic out of anything he's given.
That post-match promo made me FEEL.
Fact of the matter is that Sami Zayn is the best baby face in all of professional wrestlings long history. If that offends you I’m sorry that you’re so wrong that you can’t see it.
The post-match reaction to Sami Zayn losing the WWE Championship to CM Punk on RAW might've been some of the best character work I've ever seen from him.
It was raw. It was genuine. It was the emotion of someone who spent 24 years fighting to finally reach the top, only to have it all taken away just nine days later.
The irony is that CM Punk was in the exact same position Sami Zayn is in now 15 years ago. Now Punk is the one monopolizing the main event scene, while Sami is the one living with the scarcity, struggling to break through.
It's a compelling story, and it's exactly why I believe Sami Zayn is one of the most compelling characters in WWE today.
Let's see where it goes.
- Ganó el título con un roll up que se vio de la forma más oportuna posible.
- Su coronación fue fuera del horario habitual de emisión en USA, fuera del país y en pleno Mundial.
- Su única aparición como campeón antes de defender el título fue en un SmackDown grabado y sin importancia.
- Lo hicieron ver como un cobarde que quería irse sin defender el título después de que se confirmara la baja de Cody Rhodes.
- Perdió el título en su primera defensa, apenas nueve días después de ganarlo, en un contexto desfavorable que la gente compró por tratarse de CM Punk en Chicago.
Tenían cero interés en hacer a Sami Zayn campeón mundial.
These past 9 days was the best days of my life as a wrestling fan.
Just remember...no one can take these accolades away from you.
-WrestleMania Main Event
-Grand Slam Champion
- 1x WWE Undisputed Champion
Thank you, @SamiZayn
