WMOTYC: Men's Elimination Chamber - Miz vs Elias vs Cena vs Finn vs Seth vs BRAUN vs Roman 2/25 - WWE Elimination Chamber.

What a bizarrely awfully booked match where nobody seemed to know what they were doing, it plodded through its paces and everything had a dreary air of inevitability to it that proved true. Just dull at best and maddening at worst.

Nth. For all the talent involved, I expected way better and it fell flat in pretty much every way possible.

The IC Chamber remains the worst one. The tag match was sloppy and had way too many bodies to really click. The women's match had enough legit highlights to cancel out Absolution being green as gooseshit.

This year's men's match had ... what, exactly? It was the wrestling version of white noise.

Am I crazy for thinking there was too much no-selling of big moves in this match? Don't get me wrong -- I just started watching NJPW right before G1 and am completely sold on Ishii. But Ibushi standing up out of big suplexes just took away from the match for me :shrug:

Watch it again and look in Ibushi's eyes, it's pretty much the opposite of "no selling"

Also it was the best part of the match

Yep. It's crazy how that's considered one of the lower-tier Okada/Tana matches, which just tells you how amazing the other ones were.

I'm probably the only person in this forum watching MLW every week but

WMOTYC: Tommy Dreamer vs. Brian Pillman Jr., MLW Fusion 11/30

Please stop booking Dreamer in regular singles matches

I can still tolerate Dreamer when he's just in multi-man clusterfucks, hitting people with kendo sticks and not trying to have an actual wrestling match. He tried to have an actual wrestling match with a green-as-gooseshit Pillman and it went ... poorly.

E: They're doing a Singapore Canes match in Miami, which I'm almost convinced was booked as a do-over after this wet fart.
