Say whatever you will, this was only a TACTIC, simple as that. The fact that WWE could have been making a match like this waaaaaaaayyyy before this Monday yet haven't plus didn't concentrate on fixing THE REST OF THE SHOW, means they were trying to hook people in and I can't lie it worked. However, let's see how far they go as they get closer Wrestlemania. Let's see if they're going to repeat gauntlet matches over and over and over whether it be the male talent, female talent or both. Yes you got your big wrestling tonight, WOOPTY FREAKIN' DOO. Will this be the case at Elimination Chamber?? Will they finally develop STORIES based on everyone's results from this gauntlet?? It is possible but more times than none, they'll continue to fucking drag their feet and bullshit before they get in tune with it. So again, my issue was not that these guys went out there and did a wrestling match (wow they are supposed to) but rather how will this all tie in or was this simply to kill time before the Sunday PPV??I prefer WWE giving us good wrestling on a wrestling show. Let's face it, the segments they would of made if this match didn't happen, would of got shat on by people regardless. Wrestling fans are only happy when it rains.
I didn't like the gauntlet cuz it was different. I liked the gauntlet cuz it was good. Simple as that really
U OK bro? Didn't think this was such a big deal.Say whatever you will, this was only a TACTIC, simple as that.

Honestly, the gauntlet match to me, served its purpose. To showcase the talent, going into Elimination Chamber. Rollins is sublime as usual in there. But we got to see how Elias wrestles finally. We've seen his work before, but I mean, this gauntlet match put him on the spotlight which he needed the most. I say the same for Balor. The only boring part is the women's match. Sorry, but true. Everything else was top notch.
The Miz was priceless in there. He looked scared in there like a lil bitch, and gets destroyed by Braun Strowman. Not even the Miztourage could help him. They got destroyed, too.
Don't worry, real results are up now :emoji_slight_smile:
Am I okay?? What the fuck is wrong with ya'll on here lately?? Every time someone voice a strong opinion, ya'll best comeback is "Are you ok??" Really?? So, I have to have a mental issue or something wrong with me to voice a different opinion. I never asked for you to reply, you chose to. I have a right to voice my opinion and you either agree or disagree just like you have a right to voice your opinion and I can either agree or disagree. You CHOSE to reply to my post and now because I respond back there's "something" wrong with me?? WTF?? Maybe I should be asking if you're okay. MY opinion of the gauntlet match was that it was okay for now, it was a good moment for WWE this year so far. It created stories.......which are going to be used?? I think not. This is more of the repeated crap WWE dish out. They barely complete anything, but they sure do know how to start things. They know that based on the ratings and the ticket sales that they needed to come up with something different. So yeah, of course they pull a gauntlet match out of their ass.U OK bro? Didn't think this was such a big deal.
I guess I don't see the same negatives as you. I just thought the gauntlet match was great and created interesting stories and dynamics. I mean I don't expect or would have another gauntlet match for a long time.
Btw When it comes to booking wrestling... Everything is a TACTIC. Its a tactical profession...
Exactly. What is wrong with everybody not understanding this?? MY only issue was the end result being Strowman destroying Miz for the win as the last entrant because I would have preferred him either second to last to enter or maybe make him the 4th entrant of the gauntlet. THAT. IS. ALL.I don't believe I even implied the match wasn't good. I enjoyed the entire thing and it was nice to see something different. But you can't give the writers credit for that, it's 100% the wrestlers. Rollins was amazing. Just because I think the writers are lazy, that doesn't mean at all that I think the wrestlers are. However, telling the wrestlers to just go out and wrestle for two hours is easy on the writers because the wrestlers are doing all of the work. And yes, the wrestlers did a superb job.

Btw, when it comes to booking wrestling, ok, listen I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING IS A TACTIC (or atleast just about everything), the point was most of ya'll are eating it up like "OMG we had a great match on Raw!". NO SHIT, They're supposed to give us great matches AND they have been but very rarely which is terrible. All I'M saying is, they have to do more before I'm convinced they understand what is necessary for all true-hearted WWE fans to enjoy week after week, PPV after PPV. MY OPINION.
And yes, wrestling is nice to have in a wrestling business..........BUT THIS IS ALSO AN ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS, YOU NEED BOTH AND THEY HAVE TO BE WELL-BALANCED.
I think the gauntlet match had many storyline aspects and has set up future story's. The match hadn't got a reason, but it was still enriched with story.
1) John Cena- no longer big match john? Elimination chamber is a must win for Cena.
2) Seth proves what he said last week. He is Mr Monday night. Plus he gets payback over roman eliminating him in the Rumble.
3) Elias takes advantage of a exhausted Seth. This is exactly what he is gonna be doing at the chamber. He's the last mofo in the match after all.
4) Setting up a Miz and Balor feud. Mizterage heavily interfere in the match. This means the outnumbered Finn may need to call on he's good brothers for backup.
5) see how destructive Braun was? Imagine him in a elimination chamber. Absolute carnage.
All this under an umbrella of the WrestleMania main event at stake. Too bad its obvious Roman is fucking winning.
