Sean Ross Sappdown Live (5/15): Jinder vs. AJ Styles, Podcast Notes!
Kevin Owens' Highlight Reel
- Owens stealing Jericho's show is fantastic.
- Styles and Owens have an overdone "we don't have to wait until Sunday" thing. Fortunately I care about these guys, so whatever.
- Jinder Mahal was the originally scheduled guest and he is pisssssssssssssssssyyyy. Also not good on the mic.
- Mahal brings up Ghandi, because he's such a heel.
Jinder Mahal (w/ Singh Brothers) defeated AJ Styles
- I'm still learning Jinder Mahal's offense, because we just haven't seen a lot of it.
- It's all pretty basic, but he doesn't necessarily need to be flashy. He had a nice snake eyes/stun gun into a running knee.
- Kevin Owens is so good on commentary, especially at putting over other heels.
- AJ Styles is really creative in thinking of creative spots with bigger dudes who might not be as agile.
- Tom Phillips called an honest to god Ushigoroshi.
- Kevin Owens drills AJ Styles in the knee with the title, Mahal gets the win.
- On paper, I'd be furious, but all of this makes sense. I'm cool with it. Gotta build up Mahal.
Backstage Crappenings
- More good stuff from Fashion Files
- Randy Orton describing why people don't like Jinder considering some of his views is funny.
- I don't know about these Ziggler promos.
Fashion Police defeated The Colons
- Byron comparing Breezango to the APA was great.
- This is in line with Breezango's push. They struggled against a bad team.
- Falcon Arrow win!!! Woohoo!!
- Usos come out and cut another great promo that is definitely not being written for them.
Contract signing
- Shane McMahon being associated with this makes it seem bigger.
- Naomi calls their team the Royal Glow Fire, but she also called Team BAD "Team Best At Dominating," so we'll not go with that.
- Ellsworth is great. DUH.
- It's fantastic that Carmella was protective of Ellsworth.
Carmella (w/ Welcoming Committee) defeated Naomi (w/ Team Super Royal Glow Fire Or Something)
- Tom Phillips literally interrupts people now to call moves as "OOH."
- I bet those Naomi Speedball kicks look bad in person.
- Carmella wins. This wasn't good.
Randy Orton defeated Baron Corbin
- Orton starts off with a headlock. Heh.
- This was exactly the match I thought these two would have, only a little better.
- Orton wins.
- Jinder and the Singh Bros. jump Orton to end the show. They've went to extreme efforts to have Jinder stand tall.
