Just done watching this episode! Well, this is actually the worst of the three. These past three episodes have really been lacklusters, the only good build-up towards TLC is Ambrose/Wyatt. Giving it a real generous 4/10.

Positives:
- The openning segment was fine only because of Mizdow. Dayumn, he looked Sharp-y and once again, totally outshined Miz.
- Rollins vs Ziggler was fine for what it was, but should've been longer, dammit! Dat Curb Stomp, tho. The master salesman Ziggler sold it like a baws! I liked that post-match segment with Rollins being pissed off and cutting that promo. He should've just smashed that Slammy into the ground, instead of accepting it instead of Sting. Oh well.
- The entire Wyatt/Ambrose segment. Damn, I love this feud! I also loved JBL's response to Cole's comment 'This guy's a sicko' and JBL replied 'He's not that normal'. LMAO!
- Happy that mah boi won LOL Moment of the Year! Mizdow's just too awesome!
- Mizdow stealing the show again, despite the (Kane/Miz & Mizdow vs Ryback/The Usos) match being a total garbage. Mizdow was the only positive in that whole segment!
- Even though the ME was dogshit, I liked seeing Cena being put though the announcer's table by a Triple Powerbomb, as well as Harper performing that Wheelbarrow Facebuster on DZ and putting him through a table...

Negatives:
- Kingston vs Stardust was just too short and kinda meh. But I'm looking forward to the New Day/Gold & Stardust feud, nonetheless!
- Okay, why in the bloody hell would you debut Charlotte only to be jobbing to Natalya? It makes zero sense. Oh wait, that's kinda WWE's thing.
- Harper vs Rowan. Absolutely pointless.
- Hey, let's just cheat and have Reigns win Superstar of the Year. Piss off! Anyone but Reigns/Cena deserved this award.
- Cena vs Big Show. Dosghit ME which ended in a DQ. (shocker)

The neutral:
- Heyman/Rollins segment backstage.

The 'Why God, why is this crap on TV?' segment:
- Cena's corny, dogshit promo backstage.
- Whatever Rusev crap was going on. This guy is as relevant as the US title. Oh wait... :dawg:
- Whatever Divas Division match was on.
- Big Show's cheesy, dogshit promo backstage.

Hopefully the PPV won't be a downer, as much as the build-up for it was. However, I'm expecting post-TLC&S RAW to be good from there on, heading into the Rumble. But we'll see what happens.

There are people who think the Slammy Awards AREN'T rigged? :dawg:

Even though Brock Lesnar, Daniel Bryan (well, maybe), Seth Rollins and even John Cena would have been more realistic choices for Superstar Of The Year, it was obvious that Reigns was winning just due to the fact that he's already been selected as "the next John Cena", a push that's poised to begin with him defeating Brock Lesnar for the title next year. If this was a real award ceremony though, Brock Lesnar would have won that shit, no doubt. A total of four matches or not, he ended the Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak and steamrolled through Cena like no one has ever done before.

Speaking of which, Lesnar should have also won "The Most Extreme Moment Of The Year' for destroying Cena the way he did at Summerslam, although part of me might have seen that as a bad omen that Cena might actually win the championship from him come Rumble time. Jericho jumping off the cage won instead? WTF? And Y2J wasn't even there to accept the award...

Nah, they are rigged. But, Reigns winning Superstar of the Year is just total dogshit... And he's Cena 2.0, no doubt. So, if he beats Lesnar at Mania, I hope to God they let Rollins cash in on him afterwards.

Extreme Moment of the Year should've been Rollins performing a Curb Stomp on Ambrose, driving his head through cinder blocks... Or just like you mentioned, Lesnar maiming Cena for the title at SummerSlam.

It was an NXT match to hype the PPV.

Thanks, man. :)

Agreed. And assuming the vote was legit, not doctored by WWE, Reigns winning solidifies the chances that Reigns will indeed be the man who takes Lesnar down. A legit vote tells WWE that enough of its viewers want to see it. Sigh.

It would be great if they could come out and say something. Right now it's mostly the kids voting, none of us are gonna bother, but why not announce the voting and all of that? The fans assume it's scripted anyway so revealing it is is no shock, so it can only help.

Or I wonder how many votes were tallied? If like 50,000 people out of 2 million voted... lol

Either way, I'm trying to fantasy-book this into something good, but I just can't do it. Brock vs Reigns just has disaster written all over it. Maybe they're gonna spend the next 3 months working on the match, but... Maybe I'm just a blind mark for triple-threats (and logic) but why not add Rollins in the match? After all, he was the one who made Cena vs Orton a #1 Contender's match (which they NEED to add to the TLC build because that's literally the only thing in this company that makes any sense), so it only makes sense for his cashin to be at the Rumble vs Lesnar.

Or you could do Reigns/Rollins for the title, but that likely would lead to a Brock/Rock main event and fuck that.

Actually, here's a better idea, have Zayn be a surprise Rumble winner and Roman can wait for when he deserves it. :eek:tunga:

Fantasy booking for me would be Ambrose vs Rollins for the WWE-WHC at WM31. That, of course, would be in a perfect WWE world... But we all know it's far from perfect.

Dude, Lesnar vs Reigns is almost set in stone. Color me surprised if it gets cancelled... Please, God! :please-54: Anyone but Reigns, really.
While it does have disaster written all over it, it'd sit well with me, as long as they let Rollins cash in on Reigns after the match. The moment couldn't be more appropriate, it'd mark the 10th anniversary of the very first MITB match. So, just do it, WWE!

There's no need for a triple-threat at the Rumble. Why? Because if Cena loses, I'm assuming he's gonna bitch like the match wasn't fair, because he's entitled to a one-on-one match against Bork. And we would (maybe) get Cena vs Bork for the 5th time later on. Thanks. But no thanks. But hey, speaking of not being given a clean, one-on-one match for the WWE-WHC, Orton's been on it since he lost the title at Mania, so they may as well keep on ignoring his and Cena's wishes. lol

While I would love a triple-threat at either Royal Rumble or at WM, I think it's better to just do Lesnar vs Cena, to finally end this chapter. For everyone's sake.

Now that you've mentioned Rollins, he wouldn't fit into the triple-threat with Cena/Orton, especially if that match was for the #1 contender's spot, he's got the MITB briefcase, so... It'd be pointless to do that, unless he lost that MITB briefcase previously to someone (Ambrose or Ziggler). Personally, I would hate it if he lost it or couldn't cash in successfully. I doubt they'll have him cash in on Lesnar at the Rumble, though... Or even on Cena, for that matter. I doubt they'd just let Cena win and tie with Flair's record, only to drop it a few mins later to Rollins. But we'll see... I'm still pulling for Rollins to cash in on the new champ at WM31.

"Actually, here's a better idea, have Zayn be a surprise Rumble winner and Roman can wait for when he deserves it." - Amen.

Well yeah, my immediate assumption was that it was rigged for more than one reason. It didn't make sense that Reigns would win the award and it just so happened to be the launching board for his return. They obviously saved his appearance for the presentation of the award so what were they going to do with him last night if he didn't win ? Have him come out and accept it on the behalf of the other winner?

That's why I remark with comments such as "assuming it's legit," to simply examine the likelihood of different scenarios. If it was a legitimate vote, the result makes no sense to me. If it's a rigged vote, it makes perfect sense since it's a promotion for Reigns' return and subsequent push. Either way, I still think he was the wrong choice... but then again Slammy Awards don't mean much anyway.

I stopped watching after the Ziggler/Rollins opener, as it was surely all downhill from there. The match was solid, but predictable and too short. These two would have fucking torn the house down if WWE had booked them to main event TLC like they should have.

I would've enjoyed a Rollins/Ziggler program, perhaps they will have one soon enough.
