Payback Rate Payback 2016

Well, it's not something new with Lilan but recently she botched on several occasions while announcing the matches or introducing the wrestlers while they approach the ring. The latest was calling Big Cass bu his full name last week I think...

Ahh ok I didn't notice lol thanks though

 

[Prince Bálor]

Prince Balor, with your logic, I'm giving this show a 0/10 because Randy Orton didn't show up nor did The Undertaker. FUCK WWE FOR NOT HAVING THEM ON THE SHOW!

Why do you care? You don't even watch the product anymore.

Plus, I gave it a 4, not a 0.

Let's not be bitchy.

 

[Rogue]

These are great

KO was the greatest last night, though! :ko:

All matches delivered, in my opinion. I'm surprised that nobody mentions this.

I didn't mention it because, IMHO, not every match delivered. In particular Jericho vs. Ambrose. I found it very slow and plodding for what those two should be able to do.

One more thing I neglected to mention in my post above: did Lilian Garcia simply have the night off or did her recent fuck ups have anything to do with her absence?

Lillian wasn't even there. It was all Jojo and Eden.

Jericho is 45 now. I legitimately don't think he's the same Jericho from 2012 or whatever, and his matches with Styles kinda showed that for me. Jericho should probably not have any 15+ minute matches anymore at this stage imo

 

[Gman003]

I fully agree indy. Jericho is past his prime. As shitty as it is, it's true. He's one of my faves

Frankly, I thought he looked better in his matches with Styles than he did here. Also, I'm well aware of his age and I was taking it into consideration. It doesn't explain why Ambrose was slow, too. Really, each of those rebound clotheslines were easily avoidable.

Yeah Jericho vs Dean Ambrose was one of the worst matches I have seen on a PPV ever! So Sad

 

[Snowman1]

oh my GOD enough is enough with this heel authority bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed, though really they seem to be setting up more of an Bischoff vs. Austin type of thing.

That makes complete sense. Nothing against Ambrose (who I think has some tremendous qualities and an extremely high upside), but Styles is just a far superior wrestler than Ambrose, so he did (probably more than) his share in those matches and basically carried Jericho to a good match. I don't know that Ambrose is anywhere near that level yet.

Not saying anything that a lot of people haven't said in a lot of places, but Styles is legitimately one of the five best (maybe the actual best) professional wrestler in the world today.

Payback was decent for a so called 'B' show PPV. Ending was odd though. The whole Shane and Steph thing in the last match and then the ending being the McMahons was just off. Overbooked for me.

Balor is not going up before the next takeover. He's facing Joe in a rematch
