The heels got over right before the PPV. It's good booking.

The Elite always gets sent packing otherwise. It's nowhere near NWO levels of making the faces look like geeks.

Great episode, especially after last week’s show. Ending went on weirdly for, like, one minute too long. Or it needed Darius diving off the top onto the Elite. Oh well, super hyped for Rampage and All Out!!

I'm not really ever in the mood to revisit that poo poo, personally

Early nWo when it was just Hogan/Hall/Nash was a game changer.

everyone is loving tired of this angle and we need Bucks to drop the belt already + for Good Brothers to gently caress off

however, it was a cool prelude to how many people hate them lol dante/OC coming out

The Good Brothers' ability to get grotesque amounts of tv time everywhere they go is impressive

Yeah. Don't forget we also have a Rampage for the faces to get some momentum. But the heels standing tall before what may well be their crucible feels like a good choice to me.

it's not good booking to make it boring

This would have been fine if it were shorter and if they did have Tony do the old "WE'REOUTTATIMESEEYOUONRAMPAGE" routine, but five minutes of heat kills me when it doesn't go anywhere

I think the silence was also because, honestly, this is a very old school use of the cage. It's straight out of a Horsemen/Dusty angle. And modern audiences see cages as 'thing to jump off' not 'thing to keep people out'.

It was a good end I think Kenny kind of rambling over everything going on was the only thing that kept it from being truly great.

The "overrun" on Fite was a few seconds of black, then like 10 seconds before it got cut again.

They've done similar stuff before where something actually happens, and it's great, but when it's five minutes of a heel beat down and then the show ends it's honestly just nothing.

wow, which part was riveting you, the part where the faces got knocked down in the first minute, or the four minutes of them kicking people while they were down before the show actually ended

that ending was great, if you didn't like it? That's right. You're an idiot! Plain and simple. and here's why, :

1) Cage keep people out, establish this isn't the fed. brilliant move.
2) Kenny by god Omega on the mic
3) Young bucks Going violent. Love to see it.
4) Nak, hold this.
5) The Elite are The Elite. If you aren't on board, get on board, 'cause life is just too. drat. sad. if you aren't. And if you are? Then it's too...sweeeet. Mwah.

I was watching during the nWo's heyday when every goddamn Monday night Hogan and pals punked out WCW's roster and made them look like chumps just because they could. Kenny and the Bucks attacking their opponents tonight, trying to take them out a few days before the big PPV, was not even remotely like that
