I give it a 6

 

[Jacob Fox]

I ended up giving this a six and I think that is rather generous! It started out REALLY strong. The HIAC between the Usos and the New Day was very, very good. Then some of the follow up matches we okay but nothing great. The World Title match was a completely stinker. And the last HIAC had its moments but the heel turn by Sami Zayn there at the end was interesting, yet nonsensical at the moment.

Best match: HIAC New Day vs Usos ***1/2
Worst match: Nakamura vs Mahal 0 stars

All else fits in between.

 

[InSaNe]

Whoa. Corbin won...?
And of course Roode won.
I don't understand the Shane twist at the end there...? Why...? Well, this is WWE, where bullshit reigns supreme...
I hope the USOs was a natural in HIAC.

 

[Grievous 3D]

Charlotte won the match by DQ when Natayla hit her with a chair.

Ugh...a fucked finish in the only match I really cared about...

The WWE booking team can double fucked on bed of crispy lettuce!

Crispy lettuce... how would that... chafing maybe? are you saying they're a tossed salad? I don't... maybe they have tomatoes for brains? or balls???

I think most of us can do a better Job being a creative team than WWE

 

[Grievous 3D]

Okay...I'll share my thoughts...not that anyone cares...

~ So I'm guessing Gable/Benjamin will be challenging for the tag belts next?

~ And The Usos won the tag belts back...and there was a no rematch clause
on this match right? I think I read that somewhere.

~ Can this be the end of the Orton/Rusev feud please?

~ So they add Tye Dillinger to the U.S title match at the last minute...and then
have him pinned so Corbin can win the title? I guess they wanted Corbin to get
the belt without A.J being pinned?

Well...it doesn't really matter...Corbin is still a Moron.

~ Okay...I'm pissed Charlotte didn't win the title...but what kind of finish is this?
If you aren't going to give the title to Charlotte...then have Natalya win clean!

I can see why they didn't put this match in the cell...because if they did Nattie
couldn't use a chair to end the match.

Why is Natalya doing this anyway? She's been a strong champion to this point
and now she acting like Alexa Bliss.

I'm guessing they are saving the title change for Survivor Series...but wait...
aren't we doing the 4 Horsewomen vs. 4 Horsewomen match at Survivor Series?

WWE...what exactly are you doing with your women's division? Apart from putting
Alexa Bliss over everybody, screwing with Sasha & not using Becky enough.

It really isn't looking good for Asuka...and unless they pair her with Heyman I'm
afraid she is bound to be ruined by the main roster.

~ Jinder retains because of shows in India. You know I was happy for Jinder to
be given a run with the belt...but now its just getting annoying. Put the belt back
on Styles already!

~ Of course Bobby Roode won...so...can Ziggler be fired now?

~ And WTF?! I'm glad Owens won...but is Sami Zayn turning heel? Okay...as long
as he gets more TV time.

Rumor: Owens & Zayn vs. McMahon & Styles at Survivor Series...

I picked 5 of the match results...but I honestly don't even really care.

Okay...I'll share my thoughts...not that anyone cares...

Not true. I enjoy reading detailed reviews on these shows.

The preshow was good, nothing special

The Orton v Rusev match was fine, disappointed by the ending though

I'm VERY happy how the women's match ended. Charlotte's fighting for her sick legend dad, Natty losing the belt this quickly sucks, so Natty gets to keep her title and Charlotte doesn't look bad for failing her Dad. The match was fine

The triple threat was good I think, I was busy doing homework. Same with the women's match, I finished near the end of that match

The WWE Title match was okay, just okay. I'm fine that Mahal won, but I wish Shinsuke would've won. I guess Styles will win, then we'll get Styles v Owens or Styles v Shinsuke

The Roode v Ziggler match was pure shite, no doubts about it

That part of the show is a 6/10, very meh

The main event was very good, I was so freaking scared while they were on top, absolutely horrified. 9/10

And finally, the Usos vs New Day. Amazing, amazing amazing amazing. Screw Omega vs Okada 1, that boring thing was a 4.5 at most, you want to talk 6 stars, you talk this match. It was absolutely amazing. 12/10

Overall I give it an 8/10. The normal matches were okay, but the hell in a cells really saved it for me

 

[Solid Snake]

I don't get Mahal or Corbin winning, like at all. I am fine with the rest but the way they were done, eh.

 

[Grievous 3D]

It also worth noting that as of this event every
champion on the SmackDown brand is a heel...

Isn't that just delightful?

And if you count Lesnar as a heel...Ambrose & Rollins are
the only faces holding a championship on the main roster.

I stand by my past statement...the WWE has no fucking
clue how to book "babyfaces" and as of result of this the
creative team's default option is to simply give whatever
title in question to a heel.

this was a good show, I like WWE's new approach by putting more into their less popular shows rather than waiting for the big 4 to pull good stuff out of the bag with Cena/Reigns and Shane/Owens happening on B PPVs.

• Usos vs New Day delivered as expected and I'm glad that the Usos won because New Day can easily keep on doing entertaining bits without being champions, whilst the Usos kinda feed off of being champions and being the kings of the division.
• Rusev vs Orton was actually a good match, I think if there was more hope of Rusev actually winning, this could have been something. But I did like the spot at the end into the RKO.
• the US title triple threat was fine too and I think Corbin as the US champ is perfect. I'm glad that this is his first title in the WWE because that's how it should be. You win the US title before the world title, which is something WWE seems to forget most of the times so they first let someone win the world title and then go for the midcard title, which is completely pointless as shown with Reigns and Styles. Just keep them in the world division and let new guys win their first titles.
• Natalya vs Charlotte was a bit of a let-down. The crowd wasn't really digging it and so was I. I think it was AJ Styles that once said that you don't have to pull out the big moves for every PPV match you have. It's good to have alternatives as your "spot of the match" rather than just going back to 1. Even though you're supposed to "put it all out there" every night, it's good to have special moves you only hit at big PPVs or really important matches and at this point, Charlotte's moonsault to the outside isn't even special to me anymore. I mean, why would you pull that out of the bag for a DQ finish? When she did it at both Manias, that's fitting but doing it on Raws, Smackdowns and in matches like this, it just seems like a waste of energy and prestige to me. But ye, at first I thought they were gonna have a chairs match at TLC until I remembered that TLC is a Raw PPV. Well whatever.
• Say what you want, but the ending to Nakamura vs Mahal was well done, I don't have anything to say against it. Sure, the build up to the ending was a bit dreadful with Mahal's really really old school work method but the crowd was into it when they went home. I don't like Jinder and I think he should have already lost the title after his first defense but they did a good job here tonight. Also, Nakamura's new 70s disco pants look terrible.
• OK, Roode is not cutting it as a babyface. I gave it a chance and I'm not interested anymore. Roode isn't a much of a technical wizard in the ring, so the arrogant Glorious gimmick is the only thing that kept him entertaining. Now that they're doing the babyface approach, that's a complete throwaway. Especially when he's struggling against someone like Dolph Ziggler.
• Shane vs Owens was great which I honestly didn't expect. Owens has let me down so many times as of late that it's a pleasant surprise that he worked well against Shane. And the Sami Zayn heel turn at the end was picture perfect. From the facial expressions, to the commentary, to Zayn even making sure Owens won the match by pin. At first I thought they were gonna break the cell tonight with the popup powerbomb, but I guess falling off on the side a bit more safer. But yea, really interested in Zayn's heel work. I hope their main event scene is going somewhere now with Owens, Zayn and (maybe) Styles back on top

A lot of people say that if I was a WWE Superstar, I'd be Sami Zayn. Now...

Only watched the main event as that was the only match i was interested in seeing. Really enjoyed the match and feel like it was a good hell in a cell match. Not the best but for 39 minutes the spots were great. It had me on the edge of my seating and wanting them to stop doing spots on the roof or running on the roof in case it gave way. It made me feel the way they wanted me to feel watching it and as for the ending. I don't think Sami is necessarily aligning with KO, i think he's trying to start a feud with Shane because Shane hasn't delivered on the promises made to him when he made the switch from Raw to SDLive.

On the main event alone i'd give it a good 7 out of 10
