I'm actually finding this match to be better than I remember, but maybe that's because I kind of like Ryback now and can appreciate some of his goofy rear end mannerisms. But knowing how this poo poo ends kind of preemptively wrecks it.

That Henry/Sheamus strap match would have been hilarious if they played it for laughs, but for some reason the announcers played it completely straight.

Oh, Ryback is putting in some work on this match and getting the match psychology on. It is just dragging, plus, Cena can't/won't sell for poo poo.

Now the "Bray trying to bring out the monster in Cena" concept seems a little silly after seeing him brain Ryback with a fire extinguisher. And the year before that, hit Brock with a chain before AAing him on the steel stairs.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Ryback's up first, Cena isn't. Ryback doesn't win because Cena.

Or that time he AA'ed Edge off a ladder into two sets of tables.

Cena would've been closer to Flair's record if Ryback won it and then Cena won it during Payback, so I'm cool with the no contest.

Besides being available very shortly after, they are also doing a replay of it after the post-show.

Did they really not reference that fact after? Cause if not and it went down as like a no contest that's loving stupid.

I think Ryback complained about it and got a rematch.

Anyone know why wwe tends to book shows at Izod instead of Prudential Center? Just wondering.
More seats, closer to NYC/higher ticket prices, probably better airport access.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Sprecherscrow posted:

The thing with all that stuff? Within the confines and rules of the match.

What you should be bringing up? whenever he assaults opponents after they've "quit" in I Quit matches. like the AA to Batista. In fact, I would have liked Bray to bring up all this hypocrisy since we're going into ER said it a million times "You claim there's no monster, but he comes out each and every time you're in that environment John. The only thing that stopped you at Wrestlemania was the rules, and when those rules go away, you're just as vicious and ruthless as me. We're all monsters in the dark John." cue highlight reel of Cena's brutal moments.
