Bully Ray Says Drew McIntyre Vs Roman Reigns Had Something That Modern Pro Wrestling Lacks
The main event of WWE Survivor Series saw WWE Champion Drew McIntyre square off against WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. It was a very-hyped match as both competitors gave it their all to win. Ultimately Reigns won thanks to Jey Uso’s help.
On SiriusXM Busted Open Radio, Bull Ray praised the match, saying it was all he could have wanted in a match.
“Drew and Roman, in my opinion, the match of the night,” Bully said. “We had a big fight feel last night. We had both of the WWE Champions in there. We had two big men in there, we had two men that look like what a pro wrestler should look like, two men who laid their stuff in. It looked like a fight. It felt like a spirited contest; It felt like something!
“I knew I wasn’t watching two guys go through the motions. I was watching two guys who had a will, and a desire, and a passion to win. I was invested in the match. I liked the psychology in the match. I liked what they did at the end when Roman had that choke on after the nut shot, and the interference from Roman’s cousin. When he had that front choke on and was holding on for dear life and Drew got the one leg, I was like, ‘Wow, is he actually going to make it out of this?'”
Aside from the big match feel, the match had something that is very rare in today’s professional wrestling world, according to Bully Ray.
“Just that little fluctuation in emotion right there is what takes you on a great ride,” Bully said. “And what they gave you last night in that match between those two hoss champions was drama. That’s a word that is seriously lacking in pro wrestling today: drama.”
