i only saw the last half? idk, 10 minutes of that but i thought it was very bad. reading the rest of the results, it seems as if it was mostly, Very Bad

If they had just done that match, it would've been unironically a pretty drat great match.

The overhyping, the overproduction, the obnoxious commentary, the piped in noise and the stupid finish just loving ruined it. I'm actually honestly annoyed they tried so hard to make that match so difficult to enjoy.

ngl if they had just run that straight (even pretaped, i can forgive the goofy audio bullshit) i think it'd have been a lot better received. on its merits though, it was pretty good. solid 4 star match.

That was a super good match, but the dumb piped in chants definitely hurt it.

a kind of boring njpw match to cap off an all time bad ppv. probably would have been a lot better if the entire rest of the show didn't sour me on giving a poo poo about any of it

Omg Orton won with a thigh slap punt. This has to be a rib.

Lol Randy knew what he was doing and that's legitimately funnier than anything in the Street Profits/Raiders segment

Clearly this is Christian's fault for egging Edge on to give it his all this match. Whelp, time for Christian to avenge him to make up for it.

It's soooo cute!


The match could theoretically have been good if it could be divorced from the ridiculous production, hype, pre-tapes, angles, piped-in commentary, and retakes. It manages to not be a WMOTYC, but not by much.

Following The Greatest Match Ever with footage of DX vs Kane and Undertaker at Saudi Arabia is quite a juxtaposition

It's how her species communicates

I fell asleep after Hardy v Sheamus. Unfortunately it was not the sweet release of death which stirred me, but Edge v Orton.

I only read the recap, but it sounds like they put in a very solid effort and I like the concept of both guys busting out wrestlers from all across WWE history. Between that factor, the announcers apparently going crazy about how great it is, the over-hyping of the match, the piped-in crowd noise, and what I'm sure was way too many cuts and weird/bad camera shots, now I have a match that seems like it perfectly sums up everything good and bad about WWE television.

Randy finally hit the punt for the first time in like a decade, I’m satisfied.

So apparently this was really bad and I did the right thing by taking a nap instead of viewing it.

The highs were pretty high but the lows were basically a black hole of suck.
