Austin Aries probably has one of the most depressing careers in wrestling, he is an excellent in ring performer, probably in the Top 10 when it comes down to pure wrestling skill. He is on par with the likes of AJ Styles I would even say when it comes to bell to bell action, someone destined to be a star and a massive fan favourite to those who live that Indy Style of wrestling. Too bad he decided to self destruct any chance he had by being probably one of the biggest douches in the wrestling industry...

I have never seen the IC title be the highlight of a show. The world title is great but give more attention to other titles too! Tho I will say Vince repackaging Aries as an 80s rocker was a little too much tho. I don’t know if Cena had a cold or there was something wrong with the mics cause that wasn’t Cena. In fact it kinda made me think we were seeing a stunt double or something but Cena would never ditch the WWE and let someone else do the work for him, right? *Wink*
