Yeah shame on that Rich Swann for celebrating what is probably the biggest accomplishment of his life.
Celebrate after. Selling is huge. And I can't take a wrestler as serious when they don't sell. Right after the match, he was selling great. Then suddenly he's Michael Jackson. It doesn't have to be perfect, but something.
the guy with personality is finally at the forefront of a division that isn't going anywhere. Sorry for being happy that the only guy who gets any sort of reaction from crowds is now the face of his division.
This literally has nothing to do with my thoughts on wrestling. I'll never watch this show. I'll probably never watch the cruiserweights on Raw if I ever record Raw again and fast forward to parts I want to watch. But there's a much better chance I'll stop and watch the division if Swann is a bigger part of the division, and based on crowd reactions for him (which are alright in the grand scheme of things, but great compared to the other cruiserweights), others may as well.
He may get the odd pop.. But he's no more over than Kendrick or Perkins. The crowd was still fairly quiet for most of the match. He got a nice chant at the end and that's about it. He's somehow worse than TJP on the mic.
There was an awkward this is awesome chant. I like Swann but the dancing after was dumb. If it was a wrestler you didn't love, you'd be criticizing it. Let's be honest. I remember Alex Wright would try to dance and kneel over in pain. It was good selling and hilarious.
I could be wrong here, but weren't you one of the ones criticizing Bayley after her match with Sasha for selling for forgetting about the injured hand a couple times down the stretch, even though she still tried to sell it despite being overcome with emotion? I don't need perfect.. I need to think they've been through a war.
Anyway.. match was good. The amount of pink and purple was a bit overwhelming though.
