I was looking forward to each member of the team surrendering/submitting and whittling each team down, that would have been cool. Instead FTR were basically forgotten about and the match just... ended in a fart in my opinion

I think it can be argued that as many folks on these forums have some issues with suspending belief. I'm not talking about the critiques on how to make it look better. I'm talking about the ones who are saying the match was just straight up bad or the ending ruined a good match. That's hyperbole.

They got out in a logical fashion that led to the finish, which is better than any other time in recent history.
How did they get out, anyway? It happened during a commercial on my feed and we just came back with them randomly on top of the locked cage.

I think if you're going to do top of the cage spots, don't do it in a match that's sold on there being no escape. It's not quite false advertising, but it isn't far off.

It kills the gimmick dead.

at least by the ending one or two people were halfway up the cage trying to stop them, i guess it just took them a bit to get out of the cage

If they had some member from the Pinnacle run out of the cage and pin Jericho at the end I feel that would have satisfied most of us having an issue. Sammy and co could have been blocked by Wardlow keeping everyone in.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

If the Inner Circle were selling more right before the cage climb it could've made more sense that it took them forever to get up there, but they were basically dominating and moving around fine.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
The match was excellent up until The Inner Circle had all five of The Pinnacle down and the match just kind of kept going with no real change. This is just my opinion, and its that I could tell the match had peaked and needed to wrap it up but they still had another 10 or 15 minutes left. Like the reason I was saying "we need a twist" is because the match needed a new element at that moment to re-ignite the fire and a comeback and it just never really happened - Tully opened the door and MJF and Jericho got on top but the rest of the guys were just doing nothing.

I wonder if there were some timing issues with the match. There was no referee in the ring, that might make it difficult.

Hager almost breaking his ankle twice tripping over the ring mat was the most danger the inner circle was in for the last 15 mins.
