And that's totally cool and if you cancel more power to you, I just find it tiresome that people feel the need to super-dramatically post about it. Actually IIRC you were pretty levelheaded so no problem. Also I know those people find me equally tiresome so I'm gonna shut up about this now like I said I would several posts ago. Rage on. :)

I thought he hung in there with the other three pretty well. you're asking if people are bored of Reigns in a match with Cena, Orton and Kane. He held his own.

That's fair, but I'd also like to see him do, like, a suplex or something.

Honestly people saying they are cancelling and people expressing their abject disapproval of those people are both pretty much equally tiresome.

The battle royal match was quite good, I'm just sad that miz won since he's not very good at wrestling. Also, because his last reign didn't produce a single good match.

It is boring but I hope he keeps slowly improving, Also I refuse to boo him or do anything that may be perceived as negative towards him because he is the closest we've come to anyone replacing Cena and I don't care how hard they try to shove a new guy down our throat the prospect of a WWE with a new top guy is too good to ruin.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
I was planning on skipping Battleground because what a boring loving card, and the WWE deciding to send me spoilers didn't exactly help. Any worthwhile matches at all?

I think the people who hate the dramatic "not auto-renewing" posts would have more leg to stand on if the commentators weren't dramatically saying "PLEASE RENEW" as often (if not moreso) than the posts are being made

There's great things just like there are bad things, but there's not really reason to care about either. Everybody who you could care about is either hurt (Bryan, Barrett), didn't wrestle (Ambrose, Rollins), seem like they don't care (Cena's looked bored at the end of both this and last PPV in addition to his post-show interview), or isn't back yet (Brock)

Funny enough and it may have been the finishes, but I thought there were a lot of dangerous botches. The Sheamus/Ziggler botch was between two amazing workers, and Ziggler almost landed flat on the top of his head. AJ/Paige had a few bad botches.

Overall, I almost got the impression of the talent phoning it in.

I've never liked Reigns, or at least had nothing more but indifference towards him. So far his moveset basically consists of a punch, a spear, a spear THROUGH A BARRICADE, and that leg drop boot thing. For all the "Five Moves of Dooooooom" poo poo Cena unjustly gets, Reigns is a much much worse offender.

I just think some people are being way overdramatic in the wake of a wet fart of a B-Show PPV.

I'm legit confused over the rage over it. WWE has made it VERY clear through recent years that some PPV are filler between big shows. It was crystal clear to me this would be one of those filler shows, and I'm not sure why anyone had anything but extremely low expectations.

The Summerslam poster leaked. Cena is facing Brock. If you follow wresting online and did not know Cena would retain tonight, I don't know what to tell you.

Plenty of annoying details that sucked, but by and large folks should have known nothing big was happening tonight.

It was a very good match with some great nearfalls and one super believeable false finish. I must've forgotten those other 4 matches they did this year that featured a fighting spirit spot. I don't know if I'd call it a MOTYC but when it requires thought to figure it out it was a great match.
