So excited that the Big Dog finally did it, and cleanly beat Brock Lesnar in a match that made him look like a huge star!

I don't know why you would ever go to a WWE show in new york because they can gently caress you over with impunity in a city that huge. They'll never burn out the entire town.

It reminds me of charging those people all that money for Raw 25 and not giving them anything except old guys beating up the Revival four hours after they arrived.

GrimGypsy posted:seriously though the braun tease was literally vince mcmahon screaming LOL gently caress YOU I expected nothing less. It's kinda like playing the lottery, you know you wont win, but there's always a chance, and that's fun enough when I've already justified my subscription with nxt and 205.

Honestly a good show. There is no good reason for most wrestling PPVs to be FOUR HOURS LONG and this was no exception, but I liked it. Favorite match may actually have been the Smackdown Women's Match- the finish was bad but then the audience shat all over it and therefore saved it. It's rare that can happen- it's not like they made RR 2015 better- but in this case I think it turned "Hail Charlotte Flair dammit" into something way more interesting. (I don't dislike Charlotte Flair but they're obviously giving her the Cena push.) And you know what, sure, fine, Roman Reigns. I prefer him getting the belt at last to the Eternal And Forever Reign of Brock Lesnar. There are long title reigns where it's because a guy is just that over, and there are long title reigns where you're just marking time and this was so much the latter that it sucked all the interest out of the Raw main event scene.

Surprising they didn't have Braun cash in to make it a triple threat then not be involved in the finish to be even dumber than Johnny Gargano

I mean, I went to WM23 and saw Aretha Franklin sing and Donald Trump get a Stunner and a decent Undertaker/Batista match. But that's a whole decade ago now

At least 1995 had the excuse of just having poo poo for decent talent. There's a ton of good wrestlers in WWE today and they have no loving excuse for this.

I haven’t watched SummerSlam 1995 in a while but Hakushi-123 Kid would’ve been like the third best match on this show at worst

Probably the only good thing in '95 was Owen-Yoko being the tag champs, but they actually had their match against Bulldog/Luger pulled in favour of the Smoking Gunns vs the Blu Brothers for SummerSlam 95. Goooood Lord.

But, man, was the lack of quality matches with satisfying finishes jarring after Takeover.

The crowd being dead as poo poo really kills it for me Like I think Nakamura-Hardy was actually pretty good for what it was, but it might as well have been in an empty arena

Maxwell Lord posted:Okay I obviously don't know what makes good wrestling or something since I overall liked that but thought it was too long Nah if you liked it then you liked it, "good wrestling" is almost always going to be subjective. I thought the finishes were mostly pretty bad and took away from some good matches or made mediocre ones worse, but overall the time went by pretty well and it didn't feel like a huge drag, and there were some genuine great moments in there: particularly Ronda's complete annihilation of Alexa Bliss.
