The Architect, a thread.

After the events of WrestleMania 40, many people remember Seth telling Cody he'll be his shield back in February, which is exactly what happened. But there's another line in that promo that explains even more about his actions at WrestleMania. For Roman Reigns, there are always two traumas that form the base of his fractured soul.

[Thread] PWG DDT4, Jan. 12 2013. Match 2 for Kevin and El Generico in their desperate bid to become PWG tag champions again, against Future Shock--Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly.

All of their matches link into one story; I detailed the first match here: Last match, Kevin and Generico ALMOST got along by the end. But Kevin still won't even look at his former friend. He's more focused on attacking Adam Cole, who took the world championship off him and is taunting him with it now.

When Sami Zayn defends his Intercontinental championship against Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania, he's working at a disadvantage, because his moveset has been pared down to a sliver.

This thread is a field guide to some of Sami Zayn's signature moves, and a chronicle of their loss. 1. Barricade Moonsault: a move made more possible by the main roster's wider barricades, it's a reckless yet defensive move, turning his opponents' attempted whip against them.
