I think I'm less pissed because for some reason I had lower hopes in terms of this being a hugely meaningful show since it's Network only and kind of a weird last minute thing. I went in with a WWE-Uk only PPV mindset.

you just seem to care way more about other people's reactions than the wrestlemans themselves. 2 matches were good + super fun, focus on that. who cares if people say ambrose jobs or something. it isnt like he is stuck in a poo poo wyatt feud anymore or something.

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.
So what do they do with Kevin Owens now, I wonder? Dude looked like Lesnar Jr. tonight, does he just go back to clowning NXT guys until he gets bored with that? I'd say call him up and have him vacate the title, but part of the build was "I'd rather have the NXT title than your bullshit", so you can't do that.

I'm sure Naomi actually was really good at one point, especially when she was one of the Funkadactyls. But the stuff WWE has her do just does not fit her at all, and it's making her matches way worse as a result of it.

Dean Ambrose got way more than a visual pin through massive odds and escaped through the crowd with the title to massive cheers while his awesome BFF Roman Reigns grinned like an idiot behind him.

They LITERALLY just had him pin Seth 1, 2, 3 clean in the middle of the ring despite overwhelming odds after a single finisher AND a delayed count. Vince Likes Dean Ambrose. I know that ruins the narrative but it's actually true.

even if he dont, yeah it sucks, but if the matches + angles are good you can enjoy them and get enjoyment out of them. kevin owens will get poo poo on by cena in 2 weeks but ~*~i'll always have tonight~*~

dont worry too much about what other people say, and if it works you up that much take a break from gdt for a week or two. i know it adds some of the enjoyment but recently you've been less positive and more just like anti-negative poster which is way less fun that you used to be. bring back endless optimism foochs. it was a 1 note gimmick but a good note :v:

I thought the show was legit decent. Tag Title match was a fun clusterfuck to watch, Owens/Cena loving owned, I even enjoyed the IC Title match, even if it wasn't the best match of the night, and Ambrose/Rollins was pretty great, even with the ending. It sets up some good story angles.

Aren't Cena's record-tying and record-breaking championship runs coming up? Owens being the champion for one of those and being the "the guy Cena can't seem to beat" would actually make a fantastic long term booking story.

Of course Cena could just as easily get his win back in two weeks because :vince: so who knows.

Just have him go back and forth between them and keep referencing NXT on Raw so they can get more network buys. Set him up as a part time Authority goon and have him feud against Roman Reigns once Reigns gets the mitb and never needs a win again.

Keep the NXT strap on him until Sami Zayn comes back from injury, there really isn't anyone else who's ready/healthy other than Finn and he can't feud with himself. Unless you want to see endless Tyler Breeze matches or god forbid Baron Corbin in the title picture.

This is the part that bugged me about the ending. If you want another belt chase storyline, cool. But that doesn't work at all if you have the guy who's chasing the title not only take the belt anyway after being screwed, but escape with it and leave as the de facto "champion". It's going to make his eventual title run (and yeah he's definitely going to have one at some point) less important since he's basically won already, or at least got the prize and kept it.

I just had to die laughing when they announced the Cena/Owens rematch *in two weeks*. They're really wasting no time with the good old "Cena loses one match, makes dude look good, squashes dude for the next three" thing.

Though it's Owens, so maybe he'll be the only smart one and tell Cena to gently caress off, no rematch, go away.

I do watch LU now and again and I catch ROH when I can too. I watch a little new japan and I watch a little AAA. I'm not super interested in NXT though. And I don't really get sad. It's more like a dog that's been beat at this point: I just kinda lay back and accept it because yeah here we go again.

I was kind of meh on the Cena/Owens match at the beginning, but around the quarter point of it I felt like it really found it's stride. Pretty good match with a great finish. And I'm totally cool with a dusty finish when the face says gently caress that and just does what he wants anyway. It's one of the ways you can kind of make the authority seem like they got their comeuppance. When no one respects their decisions.

I think they make Dean champion at some point because eventually Reigns is gonna be champion and eventually they'll do a Shield reunion, and "ALL THREE MEN WERE WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION" sounds way better than "Seth and Reigns were champion"
