^ True. However, Generico was a big influence on Zayn. He even used Generico's mask design for his logo.

You really have to ask?!?!? Of course it is. By being in the corner you have to take the full impact, you can't flop like a little girl.
COMEONMAN! Think thru your fake fighting before embarrassing yourself with questions like that! You are better than that!
So why isn't
Miz's Corner Running Clothesline With Jump Through The Ropes And Sit Down move his finisher? Jeez. I know my "fake fight" physics quite
well, thank you!

See? I don't even know him THAT well! I didn't know "Sami Zayn" was a secret identity!  I'm so ashamed. Just
imagine how the E-Verse would feel, if you castigated them thusly!

Sorry, but no. When did some of you become so accepting of the laziness? Sacrifices need to be made. What business do Ryder, Stardust, or Cara have
in this match? Throw them to the fucking pre-show, for all I care. They only serve to bring Owen's and Zayne down, as far as I am concerned.
miz and Ziggler? Sure, that just makes sense because of their involvement in the past month. The others? They're just an old man's
battle fodder, and should be in that meaningless battle royal.
Well, don't feel the need to lump everyone in with me, because I've long been accepting of the things other wrestling fans complain about.
That said, some good points have been made about why Kevin Owens-Sami Zayn one-on-one might not have made sense. If that rivalry is going to be moved
forward without a one-on-one match at Wrestlemania, it needs to be some sort of multi-man schmozz. Sure, you can make the case that Dolph Ziggler and
the Miz are all that's needed, but how much do the other three really bring things down? Zack Ryder is going to get like two spots. Hardly
enough to get worked up about.

Also, why did you put "special" into quotation? Was that meant to be a subtle jab? If so, why? It's not like I'm saying
something that isn't true. They ARE less special each and every time they happen. When Ladder matches had wonderfully intertwined stories,
they were memorable and focused. I barely ever remember ladder matches from the past 5-6 years. It's all one big blur to me.
It's just meant to denote your definition of "special" as opposed to mine. I mean, yeah, of course I acknowledge the ladder match at
Wrestlemania 32 isn't going to be as momentous as the one at Wrestlemania 10. But there are 100 factors affecting that besides the booking, not
the least of which is the fact that it's not a novel concept like it was 22 years ago. To you, "specialness" is a value that has a substantial
effect on your enjoyment of a match or feud, and I'm not judging you for it or anything. It's just that, to me, more often than not,
"specialness" is just one of a number of nebulous concepts that wrestling fans use to complain about whatever show they're watching.
I'm not even saying you're doing that, just that seeing it over and over -- and not even on this board, necessarily, as I'm
sometimes foolish enough to read the comments on Blog of Doom instead of just enjoying the retro reviews -- has kind of made it an automatic eye-roll
for me.

Look, it's simple: El Generico wore a mask, Sami Zayn doesn't wear a mask. If Sami Zayn wore a mask, we wouldn't be able to see
his face. Also, El Generico barely spoke English while Sami Zayn appears to be quite fluent.

CZ! Mi Amigo... A Miz clothesline... Really? Any clothesline can not be better than future HOF Stan Hansen who broke Bruno's neck with his
clothesline. For you to grasp at non existent straws belittles your position as ... How long does it take to Count to Zero?
I am sad to say, I have had to ask the fake fighting (no quotes) physics department to review your credentials. The FFGFNAOBS group will soon have a
ruling. I'm sure we all wait on the edge of our seats for their ruling.
Until then, I hear the bar is open. No reason why we can't
🍸🍸🍺🍺🍸🍸🍹🍺🍺🍸🍺🍺🍸 until then.

I know who El Generico is! He's the one in the mask!
