the rousey/rock segment went like five minutes too long but i'm not sure what else you would have done with that time other than add it on the us title match. Very good show lots of fun to watch

Tweak the timing and get the battle royal on the main show but timing is probably insanely difficult with entrances and such

I'm just a sick guy, I'm really just a dirty guy.
I think the Rock segment could have cut out like 10 minutes of Stephanie talking and the US title match could have used more time but overall it was a very good show even if the Sting/HHH handshake moment was really stupid

Bryan doesn't count because A. Trips - Bryan in the first match was better, and outside of Bryan winning, the main event last year sucked.

Bray kicked out of a tombstone with Taker doing the crossed arms and everything
Taker kicked out of a Sister Abigail
Bray did the crabwalk and Taker did the sit up in the middle of it and Bray was like "oh...poo poo."
Taker won by Tombstone

It was kind of slow for most of it but Bray looked reasonably strong

Also Bray was escorted to the ring by animate scarecrows

That Taker match was better than any of his WM matches before 2001 save for probably the Diesel match.

And Roman really did look strong in there. Dude was mashing the gently caress out of Brock and looked like he belonged.

The reigns - Lesnar match was exactly the match they needed to have, borderline shoot and just kicking the poo poo out of each other, Lesnar looked like a monster and Reigns looked like he could just about hang with him and still dish some out.

For those that didn't like this show I want to give some genuine advice. Stop watching wrestling. It's not for you. This was no X-7 but I'll be damned if I didn't enjoy 90% of it. And the "bad" to me (Cena/Rusev, Bray/Taker) wasn't so much bad as boring.

Each of these is a wrong opinion.

-Ladder match was meh at worst. Ambrose did cool poo poo and Bryan got over so who cares.
-Orton Rollins had an amazing finish
-HHH/Sting was kind of supposed to be campy and nostalgic and stupid. Finish sucked but overall it was fine.
-Women's match was fine, just too short
-lol if you expected any other ending to Rusev/Cena
-UT going over and Bray getting buried are always good things
-yes, Rousey is cool
-Rollins owns, Brock still looks like a monster and Reigns spent the whole match getting his rear end kicked.
-you're a giant bitch baby

Triple H's entrance made the show 5 stars no matter what else. Rousey pushed it to 6. The main event exceeded everyone's expectations. Only bad part was Triple H won but I can let that go.
