Alphin, PWTorch reader<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was on fence about going to the show Friday night, but I talked myself into going because of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. They are a major reason why I returned to wrestling. I purchased a group lot of wrestling DVDs on eBay few years back. In that lot, I discovered El Generico and Kevin Steen from a couple of PWG shows and I have been hooked since.<\/p>\n<p>(1) Enzo &amp; Big Cass beat the Dudley Boys. E&amp;C had great reaction and both teams played to the crowd a bunch. Seeing Enzo was fun; he was another reason I went. Good match overall.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Titus O&#8217;Neil beat Viktor. Titus had a marginal reaction and Viktor none. The match was very lacking. I think Titus\u2019s finish was just throwing Viktor.<\/p>\n<p>They aired a Kevin Owens promo saying how he doesn\u2019t want to be here in Springfield and he shouldn\u2019t have to face Sami, as he\u2019s already proven he\u2019s better.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Goldust beat Tyler Breeze. Goldust had a good nostalgia pop. I personally thought seeing Tyler was neat unfortunately not much reaction for him. Fandango came down to cheer on Tyler, but then R-Truth came down to beat up Fandango. I don\u2019t believe either interfered, so this was odd. Truth sang his song at the end of the match, and Goldust played a skit that he couldn\u2019t dance.<\/p>\n<p>They aired a Sami Zayn promo about wanting to win against Kevin Owens tonight.<\/p>\n<p>(4) The Club (Karl Anderson &amp; Doc Gallows) beat the Hype Bros. (Zack Ryder &amp; Mojo Rawley). Both received decent pops. Mojo seems to be on something.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3975536965\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>(5) Sami Zayn beat Kevin Owens. Good match, but they seemed to hold back for the main matches to stand out. Mid-match, Kevin cut a promo about how he had enough. He also said he likes Shelbyville more (the &#8220;Simpsons&#8221; reference seems old), then he walked off. But, Sami chased him down and the match resumed.<\/p>\n<p>[Intermission]<\/p>\n<p>(6) Apollo Crews beat Sheamus. Sheamus cut some sort of promo at the beginning about wanting to be king, or something. Okay match, but nothing special.<\/p>\n<p>(7) Women&#8217;s champion Charlotte beat Natalya on her birthday. This was a very good match. Charlotte worked on Nattie\u2019s knee or shin throughout, then put feet on the ropes to secure the pin. Nattie received a standing ovation at end of the match as they had crowd on edge most the match. She displayed a limp to play up post-match emotions.<\/p>\n<p>(8) WWE World Hvt. champion Roman Reigns beat A.J. Styles. This was also a very good match. I could say this or the Women&#8217;s match were\u00a0match of the night. They had some people on the nearfalls. As for reaction, Roman seemed to get two-thirds cheers and one-thirds boods, so mid-to-low markets are mixed, too. A.J. got a mixed reaction, too, and was about the same, but maybe closer to 50\/50.<\/p>\n<p>The loudest pop was either Roman or Natalya post-match &#8211; pretty much everyone was cheering for that moment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-555661632\"><div id=\"pwtor-3148564634\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE Live Results May 27, 2016 Springfield, Ill.
