Is it bad that Daniel Bryan vs. Big Cass is the match I'm looking most forward to seeing most? I've been really impressed by Cass ever since he returned from being injured.

His promos have been good but let's see how he fairs in the ring...that's what I'm curious about. But I imagine DB is similar to Styles, in that he can adapt to his opponents wrestling abilities to put on a great match. |

What an odd show...I usually try to be as laid back as I can when watching, just trying to enjoy the story that they're trying to tell, regardless if the wrestling is good or not...but this show was...meh. If I wouldn't have seen this live like I did, I wouldn't have been disappointed at all. But I'm gonna go through the matches regardless. The kickoff show had a decent match. Bayley v Riott wasn't too bad. I remember hearing on a Podcast (not sure which one) that Bayley just wants to wrestle good matches. Even if she isn't in the running for the title, as long as she's wrestling, she's fine. So this leads me to believe she's doing....okay. But holy damn, they've teased this tension between Bayley and Sasha for far too long. Just let it happen already. This could be such an amazing feud, could be up there with Charlotte/Sasha if they didn't keep inching the story line of this like they have been. Anyways, the match was good. I like Ruby and her squad as good heels. A decent way to start the long show. The best match of the night. Seth Rollins is on a completely different level than anyone right now. He should be the one to dethrone Lesnar AND Styles at the same time. F*** it, on one of those co-branded PPVs that Maggle Cole LOVES repeating, have him wrestle Styles for the title at the beginning of the show and then main event with Brock to take both titles. He's just too money right now. Though I have a feeling we may get a Rollins/Ambrose feud soon. Great match, loved it. Nia v Bliss was fine for what it was, which was to just tell a story. Neither of them are that great in the ring but they're decent (not great) at telling a story. I kind of feel bad that this seems to be an anti-bullying marketing scheme that Vince is doing with Nia. Put the title on her only to promote anti-bullying to help make us look good. Though Nia isn't quite ready but she's gonna have to learn on the fly quickly. Jinder wasn't ready and now he's at least a decent wrestler now (that should never be in the main event picture ever again ever). So give Nia some time. The US title match was meh. I think we can all chalk that up to Randy though. There's really no story that they're trying to tell between these two...or really much for the US title right now. Too many hands in the cookie jar and I feel like we're just going to keep getting the same people trying to claim they're next in line instead of actually trying to build a feud with someone. At least Nia and Bliss have a feud going, Jeff is just all over the place with people trying to get a piece of him. Meh. DBry and Cass wasn't bad. I know a lot of people liked it but I thought that it was too short to really tell much of a story in the ring. They were building up Cass as this big monster heel that is pissed off about getting overshadowed by a much smaller dude. They had him be the one to eliminate DB at the Rumble to build much needed heat on him...and then he submits in less than 8 minutes. Sorry but this match disappointed me. I wanted something a little more with how they were building this. There's no way Cass should have tapped, at the very least, get DQ'd, he looked very weak after this match. Carmella v Charlotte was an odd match. Having Charlotte lose clean to a heel champion like Mella? No, not good at all. If the plan was to have Carmella win, she should have retained via shenanigans at the very least. Have the IIconics come in to interfere, have Carmella win via cheap shot of some sort, or feet on the ropes, or a controversial pin that looked like maybe Charlotte should have won but because the ref was out of place, he only saw Carmella get the pin....something. But to fake a bum knee injury and have her win clean? Vince, what are you doing buddy? AJ v Shinsuke was good. But I was confused by the ending because it's a no DQ match...which shouldn't that mean that they DON'T do the 10 count under any circumstances at all? Like, the only way to win is via pinfall or submission? And it's a no DQ match and all we get was a partially used chair? Meh, whatever. These two told a story and it was good up until the finish of the match. I was invested in it and was loving it. It showed both wrestlers looking strong with their own styles of wrestling...then it got to that personal level...then it fell flat. I hope these two don't wrestle at MITB though...if they're really wanting to build this feud, let it happen at.....well scratch that. I was gonna say at SummerSlam but that's not until August and I'm not sure if these two can keep it up until then. I guess we wait to see what Shane/Paige say on Tuesday. Braun/Bobby v KO/Sami was very bland. WWE has got to do something with these four dudes but not together like this. We needed a good Bobby heel turn and didn't get it. KO and Sami are too good to be jobbing to Braun like this. Though, I guess I liked that they're trying to build tension between KO and Sami, it was fine. But man, I am tired of seeing Braun run outside of the ring to should tackle KO and Sami. It was awesome the first time, funny the second time....played out afterwards. All of these guys have more to offer than cheap little pops like this. bjdsfhsadblaaah I need more of KO and Sami but not like this. And lastly, Roman v Joe. Even I was falling asleep during this match. My wife kept nudging me and asking if I was still watching..."Hell yeah I'm watching jeez"....I thought it might have been because we had a very busy day with the kids and trying to get the play area all set up....but no, it was just the match. I even heard the chants while I was sleeping. CM PUNK, RUSEV DAY, BEAT THE TRAFFIC....the crowd is done with Roman. They were leaving mid match, which I hope Vince saw. If they don't turn him heel, they're going to continue to push away their audience. It's not been good. This match wasn't great. I feel bad for Joe because he deserves better than this. Perhaps if we don't get a Rollins v Ambrose feud, maybe they're going to try and push Roman against Ambrose with Ambrose running as heel. It's not going to work but Vince doesn't know that. I know I read this on here, but they're going to unintentionally turn Jinder Mahal face if they put him up against Roman. But heel Roman would be so good. So soooo good. Overall, the show was passable. It was a typical WWE PPV that is trying to inch these story lines ahead at a very slow pace. If I would have missed this show live, I would have been fine with it. But I didn't, so whatever. |

For those who are interested, here are Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez's thoughts on last night's show.

Yeah, I think it was only up for free for about a day because the F4W server crashed shortly after the PPV ended. Early bird get the worm.

I didn't watch the show since I don't usually watch the smaller PPVs, but from what I gathered on different opinions (one being Bryan/Vinny/Meltzer) and communities, this is according to those people one of the worst WWE PPVs in a long time, with some already going as far as to call it a lock for worst wrestling event of the year. The only positives seem to be Rollins/Miz, the AJ/Nakamura match before the finish and maybe the segment with Elias. Some of the finishes were questionably booked, and reportedly Samoa Joe was told to put on a boring performance to try and get people to cheer Roman (it didn't work). Also, to you guys that did watch, were the crowd THAT zoned out near the end of the show that they didn't pop for anything Braun Strowman did in his tag match? I think there is a bit of an overreaction going on for this show and it's more that people are sick of constant booking decisions they don't like such as the no contest finishes and matchups they don't to see (Cass/Bryan). Sounds to me that the show was merely just bad and just left a sour taste in a lot of people's mouths. RAW ratings were also reportedly down this week, so Backlash may have put some folks off from watching the following night. |
