You just know HHH was hoping the crowd would like, gasp in shock when Seth got the hammer and they zoomed in on it so dramatically and really you could hear the crowd deflate the second they noticed.

Now if he had grabbed Sting's baseball ball and taken 15 minutes to apply facepaint to himself...

Every so often though a couple matches with no stakes are pretty good, so I think I'll keep at this WWE thing.

Unfortunately, it was WWE camera work, so once they zoomed in, they then zoomed out and back in 14 more times like a 1960s beach blanket bingo movie.

They could've fixed Seth by having him lose the title tonight and get "seriously injured" with a hot return after his eventual recovery from cancer the vicious assault like many superstars of the past. It's a formula that's worked time and time again.

There you go. Right there. There's your angle.

The Fiend wins the title from Seth, injuring him in the process. Seth, knowing he needs to fight fire with fire, returns with a face painted look and baseball bat, because, as we learn, while recuperating, he sought the advice of Sting on how to face someone like The Fiend.

I feel like in all the discussion about the finish, we've glossed over another big thing about that match. They actually used a massive cartoon mallet as a weapon in a wrestling match. I don't think enough is being made of this

So I just watched the match and I thought "Okay no contest keeps Bray looking strong sure"

But they just had Bray lie there for 10 minutes while Seth just keeps grabbing another implement, being all contemplative about whether he should use it, and then uses it.

So Fiend doesn't look like an unstoppable monster, because he doesn't keep getting up. He looks dead as hell. They recover it a little when he jumps up out of the gurney, but the match was over at that point, so is the Fiend just a loving moron who wanted to pretend to be dead for no reason?

WWE is like what a movie would be if all the characters' motivations were "I am dumb as poo poo and have no desires"

My review of Hell in a Cell:

The good:

+ Sasha vs Becky
+ Bryan/Roman vs Rowan/Harper
+ rear end in a top hat Kabuki Warriors

The bad:

- Literally everything else on the PPV.

I might as well ask this now: I've only ever heard the Bryan/Vinny show and the Bryan/Meltzer show in clips, so I don't actually know how they break it down. Are they locked behind a subscription? Or is it a delayed release for a free version? When are PPV review shows normally released?

Their site does a bad job of explaining any of this.

Sometimes (read: very rarely) they release an episode for free, but otherwise its all behind a monthly subscription fee. Bryan airs a free show Sunday-Friday called Wrestling Observer Live, but its basically the CSPAN of the wrestling community. So be careful listening to it.

Earlier in the thread where Bryan's rant was posted -- they post snippets on their YouTube page if you want some more to check out.

Bray Wyatt sucks so loving much. A fun gimmick for a taped segment of two. But the dude legit has like several worst match of the year candidates to his name over the last few years. He sucks soooooooooo loving hard. Deserves to win worst gimmick in the WO awards like Kane did several times back in the day.

The wild thing is that its not even that he's a bad wrestler. He keeps getting put in lovely gimmick matches that end in incredibly stupid ways

It’s times like this when maybe Seth needs to actually stop bootlicking and go “Guys, I’m not loving doing this finish. You’re loving out of your god drat minds. It’ll be a crucifixion.”

I can’t imagine having clout in the company and agreeing to do this poo poo. An underling? Sure. This guy? The dumbest person in the company.
