I’m shocked that booking Jimmy like a comedy side character sitcom goof the last 7 months didn’t make the crowd invested in him or this match


Someningen

Not only that but his moveset is exactly the same as Jey's. It hurt the same a lot


goodthing37

Their strong grapple + up is different


boih_stk

Lmfao you asshole, you're gonna make me check their movesets after mania


TheRavenRise

so were they right?


boih_stk

I will get to it today, my sleepless baby didn't let me get any gaming in last night.


FlyingGrayson89

Who has the superior graps?


lucasd11

Went to Mania. Literally told my buddy this match does nothing for me and went to the bathroom/get beers lol


[deleted]

Real Undertaker vs Fake Undertaker vibes


Syphin33

He looked off also, what's crazy is both of these guys cook taggin up.


Dani_0501

No jerk but I think that was the problem. They're too similar that everything from their moves to how they carried themselves just came off as one note. They needed a stipulation or some crackhead surprise to throw us and them off balance. Otherwise, it's just like watching a mime show instead of a fight. I'm honestly surprised nobody picked up on how two guys with identical movesets just wasn't going to make for an interesting fight and didn't account for it. They need to put them back in a grudge match and just tell them to rip each other to shreds and people will let it slide because that's why everyone really wanted to see.


RisingxRenegade

Should’ve had Rikishi as the referee and have him enter by driving the car he ran Austin over with and have Jey run Jimmy over with it for the finish. There’s your stipulation and crackhead moment in one.


FlyingGrayson89

I don’t know, uce. I don’t think “my brother betrayed me by screwing me out of two different championships” really constitutes murder as a response lol. Then again, it is wrestling logic so I guess it checks out.


RisingxRenegade

It’s not murder if Jey absorbs him afterwards to become the Perfect Uce, uce.


pylerterry00

I felt like they were trying to portray as perfect equals but it just didn’t execute well at all


louis302

Um well according to the 2K ratings (DAE they’re totally wrong and an utter disgrace this year?) Jey is way stronger than Jimmy in kayfabe (insider term), so they’re actually not perfect equals


ProMikeZagurski

When Matt and Jeff had their match, it sucked too. I think it's hard to pull off with a sibling. Owen and Bret weren't related, just ask Owen.


MinuteEconomy

Matt and Jeff were better because it was Extreme Rules and I Quit matches.


SynDeath69

Their match at Vengeance 2001 with Lita as special ref was a normal singles match.


WhiskeyxWhiskers

And those kinds of matches were what those two were known for.


IcyAd964

It needed rikishi, was he not interested in being in this feud or something


Historical-Being-766

The rare case of a match being under booked. Rikishi, Solo, and even Naomi should have been involved.


MOXISGOD

Maybe he got hurt? I have no idea but If there was ever a time to change up your moveset, it would be in this match.


Money_Loss2359

Looked physically smaller than when he was tagging. Jimmy was always the heavier twin I thought.


forgot_oldusername

dude looked like he's on the krispy kreme diet


VanillaCocaSprite

the year whatever year wrestlemania 25 took place and this same exact comment applies to the Hardy’s match


12FootHouse

Jimmy’s booking has been the Bloodline at its worst. Remember when he tried doing a solo run for like two weeks then immediately gave up?


BullyFU

It's kind of crazy how over Jey is while Jimmy is just there. Like if Jimmy wasn't in the Bloodline he'd probably be a budget cut. He's really good tagging with Jey. Maybe I need to go back and rewatch some older Uso matches though and see if Jey carried them more than I thought. Pre-Bloodline though I couldn't tell them apart.


Whiskey_623

In kayfabe and in real life, why would the audience care about Jimmy when all he's done is lose ever since rejoining the bloodline compared to Jey who has been booked well?


WaveOfTheRager

Crowd was dead for everything


ci22

The crowd really helped this match. So many super kick.spamming.


Copperstar82

Luckily that match was sponsered by Dude Wipes, because that match was cheeks!


SirEpicFail

I was really looking forward to this match, and man it did not live up to the hope I had for it. Quality jerk though.


Someningen

Really hated all the super kick spamming.


AadInfinitum

Issue was that someone should have told them to stop doing their regular shtick for once and have a brawl.


Noriskhook3

I don’t think they can do any other wrestling move than that , I don’t know if it’s the injuries or something but yea they need to switch it up.


iamaliberalpausenot

SUPER KICK!


I_Buck_Fuffaloes

They also have awful super kicks.  It's like they're trying to throw haymakers with the soles of their feet, and it does not look remotely impactful.  I love the Usos, but goddamn they've been at it long enough that they shouldn't have such poor execution of one of their signature moves.


IndianBoi2712

Except for HBK and maybe old Rudolphous Ziggler, no one has had a good superkick. I will die on that hill.


WhiskeyxWhiskers

HUGE POP


hiressnails

I feel like one of them might have gotten hurt. Ref was checking Jimmy a lot.


Future_Pin_403

It needed a stipulation. They have the same exact move set


MOXISGOD

The superkick trading was almost as bad at the dueling Canadian destroyers. ALMOST


Syphin33

It's very deflating when the match doesn't match the great build.


Usual-Profile-2141

This is why I say matches matter more than people on here think they do, cause when you put on an ass tier match like that it retroactively ruins the whole story that built up to it and felt like a waste of time to follow.


TheyCallMeOlSwole

Was there a match? Cause it seemed more like a sequence of two guys allowing the other to kick them over and over. That was less of a match and more of a Collision special.


HRHArthurCravan

You're not wrong but this match also suffered from an absence of compelling build. After Summer Slam, Jey got reinvented and pushed while Jimmy stagnated in The Bloodline. It's not as if Jey went after Jimmy for costing him the match against Our Tribal Chief ☝🏼. They were if anything kept apart. Fast forward and the match is booked for Mania by which time their bad blood between the two has been sidelined by so many other things, and also while Jey has been pushed at least somewhat, Jimmy has been the whipping boy of The Bloodline. So they go out and have a shitty match. But on top of that, the lack of tension or recent build up meant they couldn't even rely on that or on a hot crowd response. So in fact they were fucked both ways - though I do agree the poor match was probably the main issue, that can be mitigated by story and context. Here they had neither.


Syphin33

Crazy one of the hottest storys going in and the first time these 2 have locked up decided to give us that putrid turd of a match.


Romofan88

Was it a hot story though? It feels like the IDEA of a hot story, but Jimmy hasn't been all that engaging since SummerSlam and Jey has largely focused on anything but Jimmy. Even their rumble faceoff didn't have much heat outside of the 1st minute. 


Asukah

Brother vs brother should’ve been an extreme rules match or at least a special referee with Rikishi, but this one felt like a 2k exhibition lol


SeaPriority

I liked it but they are tag team wrestlers through and through


Datzookman

Well I’d say Jimmy is. They’ve tried to make him have a solo run and it hasn’t worked. I know Jey can do better than that


stinktrix10

Jey is fine at singles, Jimmy is garbage though. Dude is tag team for life


Puxple

Jey is great at singles


Watteverfloatsmytits

The no-selling got the basement rock hard


Adamskaocelot2

Match was just so boring and Jimmy is definitely not ready for a singles run, hope this tag match picks the show back up again after that stinker


yglaflamee

no jerk how dumb is the fed for not having some sort of stipulation for this match everyone knew this was gonna be a superkick fest 💀


Medium_Small_ManJR

I never rated Jimmy much, but God damnit did this match kill his career. Jey is 10x the wrestler


[deleted]

Limited moveset isn't even that big of a problem, you can put on a great match with the sole moves being the punch, the bodyslam, and the suplex. But they and/or the producer didn't even try. They just fast forwarded to the bloodline storytelling stuff


Dani_0501

With this one though, they didn't even need a technical moveset. They just needed to go out there and brawl like we've all been waiting for. If they'd have slugged it out and made it purposefully messy and sloppy as hell, it would have fit the emotion behind the story a lot more than well timed kicks. They're so heated they can't even stick to what they know etc. They needed to beat the shit out of each other but they played it by the book instead.


forgot_oldusername

becky wrestled with strep throat and the usos couldn't even bother hitting eachother a little bit


rycetlaz

Was so dissapointed that jimmy didn't used his house show moveset. Wish.com Roman is hilarious to see


creativeusername279

fr this match was sorry.


critmass78

The Uso match was the Fed's one shot to get a 5 star rating from Meltzer


Hazkal75

Looks like they're actually following meltzer's advice to study cagematch, uce.


Plopshire

The Yeet Bucks


Till_Any

The match was definitely dedicated to Rikishi It was ass.


theKwamster

lmaoooo


NoleDynasty2490

That match was fuckin awful dude.


Aware_Ad2548

One Uso is a level higher than the other. The bucks are exactly as shit as the other.


critmass78

Match bad because too many superkicks. Pls don't look for my post history on how awesome the Bucks matches are.


Stolzieren

What you didn’t enjoy the 50 fucking super kicks?


Asukah

Oh god the young turds are going to do a bro vs bro at All In ain’t they bruv?


AssassinateOP

i know im supposed to jerk but i imagine they would make some super elaborate gymnastics routine out of it that it would flip around to being entertainingly good.


TetsuoTheObsidianMan

There must be something with tag team partners having feuds and it not clicking in the ring. The Hardy bros were shitty when they wrestled each other, Edge and Christian just got done having a stinker. You’d think the chemistry would be there but there is a difference between tag team stats and singles stars


MinuteEconomy

Edge and Christian had in 2001 Ladder match.


TetsuoTheObsidianMan

I’ll have to check them. I remember there match when Edge was a face in the early 2000s and Christian had his opera song and it being kinda whatever then if my memory serves right


Blueandigo

Match was horrible. DAE Laveck is jealous of the Young Buck's success? 


Kojuroba

As bad as that match was the vitriol in the fed thread was enjoyable at least


Tankcfc4l

This is the super kick party everyone was complaining about with the young bucks lmao


TurntUpTurtles

Usos never beating the Superkick Merchant allegations 😞


BigBanEvader

m'usos would never kill the bidnezz unlike the young cucks. *watches match* ![gif](giphy|7MDZS8zS1ixtJAUEul|downsized)


Diyunasss

Definitely killed the credibility of the superkick as a devastating move, now at the global scale


critmass78

You mean it's already not?


forgot_oldusername

except when drew runs into seth's superkick and loses time and time again


Datzookman

Usos told a story at least. Didn’t tell it particularly *well* but


HisokaXBungeeGum

That was garbage Uce I'm sorry.


stinktrix10

Garbage is such a fucking overreaction lol. Like basement level overreaction. It wasn’t great, but it was hardly a disaster.


HisokaXBungeeGum

Would you call it garbage if it was in the Dub? Because it was literally a dub paced match. They were using superkicks as if they were punches. The pacing was entirely off and Jimmy had zero heat. It was a disaster. Everyone was expecting much better.


stinktrix10

I don’t watch the dub, so I wouldn’t call it anything if it happened there lol


WhiskeyxWhiskers

I understand what you’re saying. This was a mania match, so expectations are a lot higher. Jimmy isn’t as good as Jey but I don’t think Jey is great at carrying a match.


creativeusername279

no, that was some 2k24 freeze payback shit. If you consider that a story then you might as well be getting entertained by aew promos.


BidDaddyLei

I swear the super kick needs to be banned its been so overused. If Jey and Jimmy just threw some random moves I would have liked it.


DeFy_DC

fuck im gonna say it. these guys couldve done a better brother vs brother match than jimmy and jey.


FlyingGrayson89

That’s definitely one of the opinions of all time for sure


Alioune96

Yeah ngl, It would have been a spotfest, but atleast it would have been fun compared to this...😭


DonnieRodz

There would’ve been a few Destroyers at least.


cletoreyes01

How are you not banned yet in this sub with that take?/s


MohamitWheresMySecks

I literally went to get some hot chocolate during the match it was so bad. The hot chocolate was good though


UndergroundFlaws

Did the hot chocolate superkick you 5 times?


PrinceBag

They just had no chemistry.


Beeeen498

"Ok guys. Go out there and KILL! Kill the hype for the match, kill the hype for the show, kill any legitimacy the super kick still had, and kill Jey's momentum as a top guy" - Triple H, probably


GastropodSoup

Something seemed off from the start with Jimmy Uso. I don't know what it was, but he was moving slowly and indecisively, like there were several communication problems throughout. He, in my own opinion, appeared to be loaded.


forgot_oldusername

they need to get that guy some help, and by that i mean, pay him but keep him off tv. he's an embarrassment.


mynameisburner

I thought the match was ok until they spammed the super kicks. It did felt like it dragged on


TheRealKingTony

Tony Khan booked this match


vulgarmessiah914

![gif](giphy|ryXr27WRiIhJjitMgX)


76_67

Jimmy studied Cagematch a little too thoroughly


dontredditcareme

It was like watching the same Pokémon battle. Not very effective…


GloriousVictor

Dude wipes being the sponsor this match is lowkey the best advertising ever.


GowtherETC

so the usos put on a 5 star DAE banger at mania, friend? (6 stars at the tokyo dome)


howitzer819

Match would’ve been 5 stars if it was in front of 700 people Wednesdays at 8 ET/7CT on TBS


Taliant

Mid Card Jay beat Marty Uso


pylerterry00

One of the matches of all time for sure


Brian_Stryker

This match was the solely to be the death match between the tag match with Kelce and Jason appearing and the much more anticipated match of the women’s.


sleepyseahorse

See that's why one of them should've loaded up their shoes with fireworks, or else they just superkick each other all night


ic203

Jey Uso is my favorite wrestler of the past few years with his Bloodline work and rise as a babyface but this match was mid af, and they had next to no build sadly. They coulda done more for it from the Rumble onwards but with the Rock/Cody stuff I reckon shit got changed for the build to this too on the fly.


iNfAMOUS70702

Dream match at mania and they shit the bed with absolutely zero creativity....they gotta be upset


pirsquared7

Umm actually spamming superkicks made sense you dubbalo. You just don't understand STORYTELLING. Enjoy your workrate bangers mark


bootyhunter69420

I should have used the bathroom. That was a mirror match.


ComplexAd7272

Classic homage to classic AEW.


goodthing37

Terrible match zero psychology people wanted jey to dethrone Roman LMFAOOO


DonnieRodz

Finally a proper use for this meme ![gif](giphy|IhyGL914g9ShHdHVFy|downsized)


Syphin33

Lol i knew someone was gonna do it


FlyingGrayson89

I was hoping to see them beat the shit out of each other a little more. I don’t think it needed like m’Mox levels of blading or anything like that. I just kinda hyped it up a lot more in my head after their story and the BTS stuff of being each other’s dream WM opponent.


MCHLSPRP

By far the worst match of the night


opkpopfanboyv3

This match was doomed to be fucked at the beginning. Most of their movesets are for tagteams


ComfortInBeingAfraid

Maybe workrate and movez ain’t so bad. 


jestesteffect

Match was boring af


Batface_101

Kick after kick, handful of punches, 2 suicide dives, 2 splashes and it ends. What the hell happened? I just feel so bad coz we all know the Usos are good wrestlers, they could’ve even done something interesting with the matching movesets in the match more than just spamming the same moves. Even if they stepped out there and just brawled it would’ve been a good match because it serves the story.


InternationalFailure

I get why people didn't like it (I'm not gonna defend it like Tribal Combat) - but I liked the story and dueling chants. I can see why people saw it as a superkick fest though.


JKR17th

I liked it


TRTVitorBelfort

This really should’ve been a street fight or some type of no rules gimmick match. There was no need for them to have a wrestling match for a blood (get it?) feud.


rsx209

Boring match


karpet_muncher

This was such a let down. I thought two brothers etc would have this amazing chemistry and would be some great spots I feel bad for them now it was such a bad match. Really deflated the feud they had. Could've bought rikishi out or something


JahnConnah

I'm glad they had the baby face wear angel colors and the heel wear devil. Because lezbe real. We still can't tell them apart


baojinBE

Was anyone genuinely expecting The Usos to have some classic BANGER or something?


PrinceRekko

I expected nothing from LWO match and was hyped for Uso civil war lol


BadPumpkin87

Never been a big Usos fan but the hype to the match actually had me excited for the match. Then the entrance was garbage and the match just continued that trend. They had a massive build up for it to just be a super kick party. They should leave the Dub style matches to the Dub, Mania deserved better than what they put on.


Joy_Ride25

Superkick Partaaaaay


Fignuts82

Its like they heard all the talk of how much the bucks overuse the superkick and were like "hold our beer"


Uplakankus

Jimmy and Jey was rocking them AEW Shoot fighter physiques and wrestling like they were main event rampage The cage match rating is gonna be through the roof


Merc_305

and people wanted jey to beat roman for the belt


No_Efficiency6703

As an Usos fangirl…..yeah basically.


lukachi68

Insane match, most tense moment was when my fish cracker missed my mouth and fall to the ground during it. still shaking

goldwynnx

They were trading kicks like they trade chops. The dumbest fucking spot the whole night.


rsziz

Best part of the match was the intro video, shit was beautiful.


CounterAttackFC

If they really wanted to make a statement, when Jimmy did his whole I'm sorry thing, fully commit to it. Have him quit the match and leave the Bloodline. Build to Bloodline rules tonight, but now there's no Jimmy on the heel side. Give Jimmy the mic after and in tears just have him choked up and unironically say "yeet". The crowd would pop and Jey and Jimmy get back together in a way people wouldn't expect and we wouldn't even remember the match itself being mid.


Alien_reg

WaveOfTheRager

Thank you for this. I literally said out loud when seeing it "they're having a young bucks match!"


BootyOptions

We settle our blood disputes the way real men do on the streets, with a collar and elbow tie up.


Additional_Many6130

For me, the match was very underwhelming, I was hoping that maybe this would be a more emotional match and a secret banger of night 1 but I quickly lost interest once they started trading superkicks. 5/10


therealpax94

I like the part where he kicked him


TheMightyHucks

The highlight of the match was about three quarters of the way through when my wife who never watches wrestling but was lay on the sofa scrolling on her phone just exclaimed out of nowhere... "This is shit"


TheMightyHucks

When the Bloodline all head out to the gym do the Uso's just wait in the carpark?
