Pretty boring for most of it. Some good spectacle spots. This match needed actual heat to really work and it never had a prayer of getting that.

You are just trolling at this stage. Explain what I am wrong about? I didn't come into the match with high expectations and the first half was boring but it ended great.

The crowd absolutely was 100% super into the ending of the match. There's no disputing that, even if the mystery cube was silly and the ref counting while staring at a blank wall was kinda dumb.

The crowd would be into literally anything right now. They want to justify buying a ticket so bad they're cheering for a Lashley match

And they cut just prior to him crawling toward it so you knew he was still moving and going to break through.

I don't think the match really exceeded expectations Rov, I was tuning out for pretty much all but the last 5-6 minutes.

I agree you're right that the crowd was way into the ending though. The match just felt heatless and forced to me even though there were a few neat bits.

Both things are very accurate. The match suffered the same issues that most WWE LMS matches do, but they did a pretty good job of working it so the crowd bought into it, and the Kool-Aid Man spot at the end was a great visual even if they had to make the ref look dumb to do it (he should have been shot from below counting from the top so BRAUN! bursting out on the level below him came completely by surprise).

I AGREE

I expected worse. So it over delivered and I am not only person who said this.
