Payback 2013 Live Discussion - November 29, 2020

[Ricky Smarks]

Heyman's over, but honestly 2013 was one of the last years the crowd were legit into so many babyfaces and gave these kind of reactions. 2013 was such a magical time with such promise for the future.

 

[Chris]

It's also Chicago too, they gonna be loud af all night one way or another

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I'm not losing sleep over aborted ADR and face Miz pushes

Not in 2020 anyone should be, but Del Rio especially was OVER this year. Makes no sense to turn him and Ziggler.

It collapsed in the space of one match, too

 

[Chris]

Yo this shit was awesome

 

[Hoss]

That's a fun little show-starter

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Axel's gift to his pops on Father's Day.

 

[Sky]

People in the future will say "The 2014 Royal Rumble match was the moment that professional wrestling in the US died" and not face any controversy

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Doing a move like that with two opponents leaves you vulnerable so I'm glad Axel made that pin. Genius.

 

[Hoss]

I was literally gonna say the 2014 Rumble is where shit really hit the fan

 

[Chris]

Oh man this crowd is gonna be so much fun

 

[Hoss]

The 2015 and 2016 Rumbles were just the icing on the cake

 

[Chris]

Hey 2016 ruled tbh

 

[Sky]

The 2014 Royal Rumble will be remembered as WWE's Starrcade 1997. Sure, it produced a good moment in the end, but the trash booking that underlays it shows that the end was inevitable.

 

[Chris]

2015 tho
