i haven't watched the latest new japan show yet so i can't give ratings there.

MOTYC: The Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Title at Elimination Chamber - John Cena (C) vs AJ Styles vs Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt vs Baron Corbin vs The Miz

The PPV was average at best but the main event was fantastic and the final stretch was just great with an awesome ending.

yeah that's probably one of the best chamber matches they've ever put on

good + brutal

i'm conflicted because i liked the match but i think the lack of heat really took it down a notch but you know what if you fuckers can get shane mcmahon vs aj styles as a motyc i'll second

even if it was a three star match it would've come off better. the fact that it was just a pretty bad match made the whole thing kinda depressing rather than bittersweet. i don't want to put too much on either guy because undertaker was clearly in a lot of pain and very limited in what he could do and roman was in over his head but it just wasn't very good. i think calling it one of the worst matches of the year is a bit much but i can understand people being upset in the context of it being the main event and undertaker's retirement match.

okada is easily the greatest wrestler in the world right now and anyone who thinks he's bad just straight up doesn't know poo poo about wrestling

aj styles is better than okada

aj styles is fantastic but he hasn't had the same track record okada has over the last year, which could be argued is due to the caliber of opponents, but to me the best wrestler in the world is the one who is at that time consistently having the greatest matches

HM - Fatal 5-Way - Roman Reigns vs Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe vs Bray Wyatt

Match was split up into segments and the ending few minutes brought things up a notch further. Really fun and a pleasant surprise winner.

i was really sour on this show til the main event but yea it was great

I imagine there'll be a lot of disagreement about this:

WMOTYC: The First Ever Women's MITB Ladder match

The ending was hilarious and got a huge pop but it was also loving terrible, undercut the entire message WWE had been pushing including their very good video package at the start of the match, and basically made the Smackdown Women's Division look like a joke. The actual bulk of the match was a mess but entertaining at least, but the ending just completely derailed everything.

yea

Normally I'd agree, but holy poo poo that three-count botch there spoiled it. That should've been 4-4 sudden death.

that's a shame, rusev and cena have had some fun matches together in the past. but i guess it was a thrown together thing and also a flag match so they probably weren't very into it.

In a vacuum, that’s not a minus five stars deal or anything, but it was pure poo poo to cap off one of the worst booked months in WWE recent memory.

the first half of it was a lot of fun but boy when it went downhill it went down hard
