Will he ever recover?
It was the best result for him actually. Think about it like this, if you want to get people to support him which of these two is the best option.
1)Have him predictably win a feud that many people think has gone for too long and get a win that amounts to nothing.
2)Have a bullshit finish making him lose on his first mania and get people up in arms on how he's being treated unfairly
>>1139500
>bullshit finish
It was a clean pin but yes I understand what you're getting at
>>1139500
.not OP but i never thought of it that way. Thanks anon.
>>1139600
By bullshit I meant having AJ lose in general, ESPECIALLY by clean pin. Just go have a look at twitter, people are already flooding tweets of FUCK THIS COMPANY and how AJ should've won, this is a stronger display of support for him than him winning could ever be.
>>1139500
This. It's retarded but this is the Reality Era. The heels are the bookers. See: Daniel Bryan.
>>1139767
Exactly, I was getting worked for a second there but then I remembered that.
>>1139500
Ok I take back my own argument, by having pretty much all fan favorites lose so far they pretty much nullified the positive effects of this match's finish. Holy shit state of this mania.
GO BACK TO TNA
so AJ Lee finally came back. damn i didn't see that coming.
>>1139767
>Reality Era
Fuck off with that nonsense. Guys like you make me ashamed to be a wrestling fan
Y2J has been jobbing for like 3 WM straight. And he was 1-2 against AJ Styles.
Y2J deserves the victory, if he had lost he would not be menacing to anyone and he is an upper card.
>>1138928
No. He will lose one more big ppv match and then get an injury and retire
>>1138928
Mired in parity booking for the foreseeable future.
I predicted every outcome but AJ/Y2J and Zack Ryder. I can get the Ryder win because it's a ladder match, it's a gimmick, it's a feel good moment. But the fucking AJ match? I don't even like AJ that much but holy fuck, also judging by Fozzy show dates I think Y2J is going away for a bit.
Why do the s-marks hate Jericho so bad?
>>1142585
Not him, but that's the official term the WWE use too.
>>1150443
how could you not knowing they had to humble aj and make him pay his dues? They weren't going to give a new guy everything at once if he isn't a top picked guy.
He already recover from TNA
I thought for a minute they were going to let him hit the Spiral Tap. You know, get a real Wrestlemania moment. Jericho survived the Calf Crusher and kicked out of the Styles Clash (lol, after Cole and Byron marked out and tried to build it up the first time he tried and failed to hit it), so the Spiral Tap was all that was left. Nope, just AJ sitting on the apron for like 5 minutes, like an idiot, and then diving headfirst into the Codebreaker. I thought Jericho was going to pull the ref into a ref bump and then cheat or something, at least. Nope. AJ looked like a chump.
>>1150789
>Hype up the styles clash
>Finally hits it
>2 count
The worst fucking booking.
Why is it that AJ looks like a total outlaw manlet every time he's tried to even set up the Styles Clash in the WWE. He almost dropped Axel on his head, and even struggled the few times he's teased/hit it on Jericho. I seem to remember him being able to hit it regularly on Abyss fairly easily.
Jericho kicking out of styles clash was lame. Also the lion tamer now being a Boston crab with a different name is lame.
Match wasn't too bad for a couple of dads though.
I don't think Styles is going to ever be in the main event picture. He'll just have feuds like this.
>>1150895
holy fuck 18+
>not knowing what the walls of fucking jericho are
holy fuck 18+
Don't worry, guys. I'm sure they'll have a Wrestlemania Rematch on free tv tomorrow and 50/50 booking will let AJ get his win back. :^)
>>1150970
I know what it is. It's impossible to take seriously as just a Boston crab, probably the shittiest submission there is.
I for one am pissed off at people kicking out of every fucking finisher. No one should ever kick out of a fucking piledriver. No one should kick out of the Pedigree and no one should be fucking kicking out of a Styles Clash. Fuck this gay Earth
Hopefully the feud is done and Tgey let AJ move on to someone else. I'm honestly surprised how little chemistry AJ and Jericho have. It was particularly apparent in their first few matches.
>>1151172
This just in, pro wrestling lacks any cohesive logic and is generally an all round shitshow.
>>1150988
>free TV
>>1151280
Someone only watches wwe television
Fucking stupid to have AJ lose. Fair enough you don't want him keep going over Jericho, but have him lose one of the other matches, and give him the win here. Not that it really matters, because I'm assuming this will be the end of their feud, and AJ will be moved on to whoever else is knocking around the midcard they can throw him in with.
>>1151280
You literally mean WWE.
It's normal in pretty much every other promotion to at least try to make sense.
>>1151934
NJPW has people kick out of finishers all the time retard
>>1139500
meta heat is cool but it's fucking jericho, not vince or triple h beating him
>>1151934
Nigger I watched a retarded mixed combat sports event that had Rey Mysterio and Kurt Angle on it and they did this retarded shit where their finishers early on in the 2 out of 3 match would work but mysteriously didn't later.
Shit's retarded
>>1152226
and Jericho is shat on relentlessly by smug fedoras for terrible reasons, he's a great choice
AJ? Sure, he's fine. If Ryder can come back from years of jobbing, Styles can come back from one loss to Jericho. It's just IF WWE choose to do it.
This gives him a good story for next year's event. His big Mania moment was lost because of sloppiness but now he's focused and he wants the strap.
Jericho is a fucking hypocrite, isn't he the guy always complaining about putting over young talent?
Vince must have put a gun to his head cause I doubt Jerichon would agree to win the match
>>1152250
AJ Styles is not young.
>>1151172
Fuck the Styles Clash, shitty unimpactful move that takes forever to set up and looks like shit. I'm glad he's not using it.
>>1138928
WHO?
I get they want to continue this feud (I see no reason why to be perfectly honest, it's done) but to give Jericho the most important win of the feud - the one at Mania - makes absolutely no sense to me. Outside of the petty, you're not one of my guys so fuck you TNA boy Vince mentality bullshit.
Will he recover? I honestly don't know.
They should put the belt on him.
He's obviously going to turn heel by bringing in Anderson and Gallows to help him beat up Jericho. Then become leader of Balor Club until Finn gets called up.
No personality homophobic redneck
>>1151172
>you now remember the Roadblock match between Trips and Dean that actually had good storytelling and psychology, no one kicked out of finishers, and was leagues better than any singles match at WM
>>1152327
If anything, he should treat it like a Rock Bottom and have it go into a calf crusher or whatever he wants to use as a finisher.
>>1139500
Or just let him win because it's AJ fucking Styles and everyone knows he's in the top 10 of current performers.
>>1138928
watching the torrent just finished that match jessus christ botchamania they both really lost their touch
>>1152451

Wait, what did I miss?

I think he just did senpai.
>>1161849
he'll get squashed by roman in 1 minute
AJ wins so Roman can have a spear the forearm spot in the title match
He's gonna get buried at Payback by the BIG DOG
>AJ WINNING MEANS THIS WAS GOING TO BE SAMI

NO, NOT LIKE THIS
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

>>1161887
how does that even make sense you fucking retarded mark
>>1161900
No he won't. AJ will be the one turned. You can't have a heel as the dominant fotc for a decade.
>>1158658
He was giving an interview and a caller asked how he felt about his following in the gay community, he low-key freaked out and told the interviewer to get rid of the call. Styles is a serious Christfag, no surprises about him not liking the gays.
Apparently he once shooted on a guy for quoting Austin 3:16 at him, he didn't recognize it and thought he was mocking the bible.
>inb4 smarks think he legitimately has a chance of winning
>>1161900
No Roman will be screwed over by the bullet club
poetry
>>1161921
Bingo
>>1161900
Reigns is definitely the "face of the company" ex: Today show and shit
>>1161900
I mean with his reaction to the boos and his cockiness over the 4 contenders for his title. It is a good angle for him to take the cocky heel angle, who doesn't get beat.
>>1161920
>mark
This is literally to get the smark audience you absolute mong. Sami has been around longer in the company even if AJ is the more worldwide name. He is more over than AJ, undoubtedly now after that Nakamura match. He got injured in the shitty Roman in ring appearance promo for this match, so that's how this makes sense you inbred cunt.
>OP
>>1161945
He also called someone a faggot on air during Nitro I believe
>>1161957
jesus that suit is fucking awful
did vince pick it out for him
>>1161947
No, the Balor Club will be about Finn Balor
AJ would come into the equation later especially if they take the other two Samoans
>>1138928
>the city of you
>>1161985
That's the kinda champ I can get behind
>>1161997
They should just call it something else then bring Finn in later
>>1161921
Roman is nowhere near a dominant anything though. He got pigeonholed far too ahead of his time due to the injury of Seth Rollins.

That Fatal Four Way was based. I've got a few guesses at how Payback will go
>Gallows and Anderson debut, Styles turns heel and wins the strap dirty
>Styles actually looks evenly matched with Reigns, Balor Club happens with Gallows and Anderson. Styles, Reigns (and Ambrose?) at Extreme Rules against Balor Club
or sadly likely
>Reigns over Styles clean
>>1138928
Nope. There's not a single chance an ex TNA guy will ever do anything relevant in the WWE
>mfw when he did recover.
>AJ Styles is competing for the WWE championship in 2016.
WTF TNA?
>>1150546
>Jericho hasn't been menacing to anybody since he jobbed to Fandango
He beat Bray
>>1151172
>Styles clash
That doesn't even look like it hurts compared to most moves
>>1162028
Nobody implied shit, bud. Just explaining why people would call Styles homophobic to someone who asked, maybe you should stop projecting.
>Mfw all the smark tears when he lays down after 1(one) spear
>>1162051
>Do you agree with anon in saying the Styles Clash doesn't hurt, Yoshi?
>Yes
>>1161921
The only way an AJ heel would work in this scenario is with the debut of Bullet Club desu.We know it is going to happen eventually. Finn Balor doing the balor club handsign every entrance aswell.
>>1162070
>people get injured when a move is botched
le wow
>>1162070
When it's done correctly it doesn't hurt you dummy. He's just gently planting you on the mat. He was literally struggling to get it off on Roman at the rumble.
>>1162071
Bullet club will be in NXT, u can thank Haitch for that.
At least Roman is a tweener, imagine if this were a face-face matchup like he did with Deanetty
>>1161985
>Nitro
wut
>>1162062
Bryan survived 2 spears
Deanetty survived 2 spears
Seth survived 3 spears
HHH got buried with 4 spears
Bork was speared 4 times and was still up
>>1162110
>Deanetty survived 2 spears
>Bryan survived 2 spears
Top kek no they both got pinned from 1
Can't fucking wait until Shinsuke shows up for AJ. They can't keep him in NXT forever.
Aaaaand he already recovered.
>>1161977
>baby gurls actually beleeb dis
>>1162125
pretty sure Bryan kicked out of the first. Ambrose got pinned from one at Survivor series, but that was his second match of the night. I believe he kicked out of one at Fastlane.
though it's worth noting that Haitch didn't really kick out of one at Wrestlemania.
>>1162110
>Seth survived 3 spears
Based, when was that?
>implying Reigns isn't going to be buried for going off script and insulting BMJ on the Today show
John Cena's ego is about to give us an AJ Styles title reign, and Cena will get the strap the next PPV. Screen cap this
>>1162125
Bryan got speared twice, he was pinned after the last one
Deanetty got speared twice but Bork beat them both up that he was pinned after the last
>>1162211
>going off script
Roman wasn't even hostile since he was laughing and John didn't take offense to it
>>1162245
The numbers don't lie, fatass
>>1162174
>pretty sure Bryan kicked out of the first.
I am pretty sure he didn't given I watched that match as it happened and remember getting a bit bothered he only lost to 1 spear after Roman kicked out of the running knee.
>>1162211
What did reigns say?
>>1162174
>when was that?
In his imagination
>>1162464
The hosts asked him who his next opponent was and he said that the WWE has many superstars, A-Listers then went on to mention Dwayne, John Cena and got cut off and they asked him if he's willing to face Cena and he said why not and the hosts answered back that he's a honorary host of the show and the show is his house and Roman answered that he's raiding his food and taunted him playfully with his own catchphrase while everyone was laughing.
>>1161902
no wcw youngfag it was always the walls of jericho
>>1162608
knee on neck = lion tamer
no knee = walls
>>1161946
Actually. No one.
