Expected post about how good Sami Zayn is:

Sami Zayn is great.

Elsewhere, I pay tribute to Tyler Breeze's god-like former theme: [youtube]_YEC_7afzuU[/youtube]

I wonder if it's too early to presume that the winner of this match is next in line for a title shot.

It's a number one conten--

Oh, I see we have that one covered.

It's a #1 contender match.

Unless you were being sarcastic in which case I'm a dolt.

Can Sami have a bad match? Legit question. Sam, we know your answer.

 

[Uncle Sam]

(We've seen that at least twice from Sami Zayn.)

 

[Slash-LN]

I never should have quit watching NXT.
It's always good.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Oh my God, that spot was sick.

 

[TheHellmouth]

Something about Sami Zayne reminds me of Seth Rogan of all people. Great match so far.

 

[BooCocky]

The last few minutes have been fantastic. Everything before that was average

 

[Thriller Ant]

That superkick was gorgeous

People keep saying this. I suppose Rogan is likeable and a bit of a ginge too. Remember, there's no 'e' in 'Zayn'.

Welcome to pacing.

 

[Kermit]

Ouch on Breeze's head on that ramp.

 

[Uncle Sam]

WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK IS HAPPENIIIIING!

 

[BooCocky]

Welcome to pacing.

I completely understand it. But the beginning was kind of boring

 

[Kermit]

Sami getting called up?

 

[Thriller Ant]

Sami

 

[TheHellmouth]

Remember, there's no 'e' in 'Zayn'.

Oops, I keep forgetting that.

Wonkey finish to a really good match.

 

[Uncle Sam]

...

Just let me die. This little peon and his fucking piece of shit theme.

 

[Thriller Ant]

Sami getting called up?

I hope so. So much

 

[Slash-LN]

So didn't see that coming...

 

[Uncle Sam]

I wish there was Justin or Dragon Saga or some random ROH mark here to mark out over Sami's attempted package piledriver with me though.

 

[klunderbunker]

Well that was amazing.

That's exactly where my mind went when he grabbed the double pumphandle

 

[Harthan]

That was pretty slick. Fun match. Excellent stuff.

Rusev appearing is interesting. As always it really brings up the question of what the endgame - or I guess the midgame - is for him. I just hope they don't turn him into Koslov, but he's got a lot of advantages Koslov didn't - a better look, actual theme music, Lana - so he's probably going to be fine.
