OH YEAH!



My poll was better.

Anyway this show has a few good matches on paper so i can see it being another badly built show which ends up being good. That main event could be a pure trash fire though.

What match would you have had instead?

The show is stacked.

Also, Balor is possibly turning.

seth and becky v baron and lacey is pre show worthy!

The problem is the shows are so drat long now that wwe can put out a PPV with 5 good matches and the majority of the card is still bad

well yeah i must admit there's numerous times you forget a good match happened because you have sat through say an hour or two of bad matches with awful finishes.

Another thing that makes the belts look utterly unimportant is shoving their match into the corner of the screen and playing an ad for the show we're already watching.

yeah but THE GRAVEYARD DOGS need advertising.

Watching the G1 from this morning. I feel like this is a better decision than Extreme Rules pre-show

I spent most of the afternoon catching up on both shows so i went from that level of awesome to this.

if baron pins becky he is womens champion?

The rules are winner takes all

Therefore Baron pinning becky would make him the winner and thus entitled to all.

I had to try and direct a very high man to his hotel that is supposed to be trusted to install phone lines all week at my job to his hotel room. He drove 2 hours in the wrong direction.

What'd I miss on the preshow

Nakamura beat balor to become ic champ

Tony Nese and drew gulak had a match and i already forgot who won so i'll say gulak.

Edit: You spent your time better.

Yeah there was a video package, the entrances (including Taker's typical length) etc, the match was about the standard length you'd expect.

I kinda wish they'd cut all of the bullshit out and had taker just chokeslam shane after 10 seconds and then we could get on with the deep card.

Are the PPVs starting earlier? I tuned in expecting the preshow and saw three people beating up grandpa instead of a cruiserweight match.

they changed the start time to 7pm et awhile back because they began always timing these things out for around 4 hours.

We're like two months away from Rey and Joe having a pair of PPV matches that lasted collectively less than three minutes

in wwe's defence the second match wasn't supposed to be a minute its just everyone began having body parts explode.

Oh my God why the gently caress does every LMS match in WWE go by the formula of EVERY move getting a count and the other guy just standing around doing nothing just in case the opening clotheline put their opponent down for a 10 count?

All wwe wrestlers aspire to be okada and thus a clothesline would put them down for a 10 count.
