Where as almost everyone else sort of enjoyed it. You're weird. Of course it was slow, but even though they took breaks it was a great match.

I honestly don't see how I'm weird for not liking that. I don't mind slow paced matches and, yeah, I didn't expect it to be nonstop action, but not a break every minute. Cena was selling the affects of moves for almost as long in the first 5 minutes as he was at the end. It was totally nonsensical.

5 out of 10 from me.

+ Entertaining undercard matches
+ Fandango came out looking good despite the loss
+ Ambrose working his best main roster singles match yet. Seemed much more comfortable working with Kofi.
+ Great tag match despite the short time. The Shield came out looking like complete stars from this ppv.

- Very underachieving main event matches. Took up too much time and didn't deliver.
- Cena underselling some of his spots really underminded Ryback's momentum in my mind.
- Triple H vs Lesnar just didn't live up to the hype.

Average. The less than great main event was lifted by the undercard.

You're not weird, the match sucked ass. Ryback no sold as well. AA through a table, and then got to a 9 count and just struts around like nothing happened. He didn't walk gingerly or anything, just RYBACK RULEZ!

I saw some people saying it was Ryback's best work, but only Crayo is really creaming himself over that WWE Title match.

Yeah I don't get the hype for it either. It was two blokes no selling big moves, which for Ryback makes a bit sense since he is supposed to be pain resistant but Cena no selling Ryback's arsenal shat on his momentum quite a bit in my eyes. Especially Cena taring off the neck brace and walking off.

I thought it was an entertaining match, but it's hard not to shine in some way in a hardcore match like a LMS match. All they did was hit each other and did a bunch of spots before getting up right before the tenth count. Fun to watch but not enough to say Ryback is improving. I want to see Ryback have a good/great match with no stipulations and no gimmicks surrounding it.

It was on the post show. They were rolling him up to an ambulance to send him to the hospital when he rose like Frankenstein, got off the gurney, removed the neck brace and walked off with the help of a trainer saying he was "alright" whilst Teddy Long, the doctors and trainers were looking flabbergasted.

This is just a rumor: But rumor has it they showed it because kids in the crowd were crying.

If they wanted to do a Cena refuses injury thing they should have at least had two people help him away, or have it pay off in an injury angle or something. Sadly I fear it will just be Cena puffing himself up on Wolverine blood and keeping on trucking.

Both main events were underwhelming. The undercard delivered very well though.
