It almost looked to me like Jericho has other plans. His facial expressions when he helped owens win, almost like a sneaky grin, tells me he has something up his sleeve. I honestly was expecting another code breaker during the celebration that's just the kind of look he had

The end results are okay. The PPV sounded bad. I didn't watch, I just skimmed the results. I will watch a recap later on.

Char winning = I am :) about. (I don't like Sasha)
Owens retaining = GOOD. If Roman aka :poop: had both belts I would have just lost all hope in creative on that one. (I kid he isn't that bad)
Rollins winning = I expected this much. :rolleyes:
Uhh New Day FINALLY dropping the belts = THANK THE KITTEN GAWDS THAT FINALLY HAPPENED! New Day Sux! New Day Sux!
Ruru winning = Should always be happening. Stupid Vince. BOOK HIM BETTER! :bomb:
Sami win = meh. :expressionless:
Swann win = cool, I guess. : unamused:

(and yes I made use of the emotes like an 11 year old fan girl on Twitter for the first time)

I rated this PPV a 2. This was awful. This was so bad that the only match I liked was the New Day match and I don't ever like their matches.

Honestly, the iron man match was BORING. The cruiserweight match was BORING. The Universal title match was boring, although I liked the finish. But the afterwards beat down of Owens was idiotic. The 10 minute challenge match was BORING. This was really just one of the absolute most awful PPVs I have EVER seen in 30 years of watching wrestling.

It may not have been as bad as late WCW PPVs, but lord, was it boring.

Don't forget that Zayne Vs Strowman match.....

I like both of those guys but that had to be up there on the list of dumbest PPV matches of all time.... even those 2 guys' acting in that was retched

...but I kind of want to change it to 3 now.

The 4 I DID give it was mainly for Cesaro & Sheamus' great performance.... I feel like both of those guys are very underrated.... Cesaro by the company and Sheamus by the crowd.

Although I don't get all of the hate for New Day... finally brought some legitimacy to the titles leaving them with one team for awhile for once. I did love the finish though and I don't just mean the result.... I thought all of those guys were great.

Also for KO & Jericho because they're awesome... as usual. I wish they wouldn't try to make them look so wimpy though. I get it, they're the heels but you still sometimes need the heels to look a little bit strong otherwise what's the threat to the title? Where's the challenge? ...Same reason I hated Roman & Seth beating them down afterwords.

I was starting to think that maybe they were doing a double turn since Jericho & KO are so over and Roman & Seth were getting boo'd very heavily. I'm starting to look at Seth as a suck up now as well. Not just on TV but off TV also, to HHH & Roman, it's really annoying:4/10:

Hoping Jericho is just stringing KO along & then he wins the RR to face him at WM for the Universal Title.... Roman can face Cena for the US Title and the top spot or you can just send both of them home for all I care. I don't think KO & Y2J should be split up yet for a long time unless they are facing each other at WM which is why I was happy about them getting back together last night... It has both possibilities.


I mean... Charlotte & Sasha wasn't THAT bad... better than the old format for a "Divas" match but it could have been better for sure. I enjoyed it more than that ridiculous match between Braun Strowman & Zayne. That has to be one of the dumbest PPV matches I've ever seen and the acting was horrible. Which sucks because I like both those guys. Triple Threat wasn't the worst but it wasn't what it could have been by far. The match finish looked very lazy to me. Although I liked seeing that side of the returning Ratboy.

I liked the fact that Rusev won.... but not the way he won. That guy needs to be booked as a threat otherwise what is the point of having a guy like that on your roster?

Not sure how it makes sense that Rusev almost killed Enzo but yet he shows up all hyped at the PPV.... He should have stayed off this one while Lana starts to flirt with Big Cas and cost him the match. Then they could have had Enzo confront him about how she was only trying to make him lose & how could Cas go for her after what she did to Enzo? Then they could argue but ultimately come back together in order to end this horrible, horrible storyline with Rusev.

On a side note... I really wish Cas would stop wearing those silly, 3 inch, Gene Simmons lifts on his boots to make him look like an actual 7 footer. He looks like he's going to break his ankles in the ring & he can easily still be "Big" Cas as a 6'8 guy being billed as a 6'10 guy. They're not fooling anybody anyway.

.......Thumbs Up ! :cesaro::sheamful: :ko::smug: :kofi2::xavier::bige: :rusev2::lana:



.......Thumbs Down !:reigns4::rollins2::shock2::zayn::cole:

EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeek.

That sounds really, really bad. I am glad I didn't spend $50 or $9.99. Sounds extremely embarrassing.

The worst thing about the Iron Man match was that I just expected more, I guess. I mean, there were things I didn't like. I didn't like the fact that they didn't get a single fall for like 20 minutes. I hated the fact that Sasha tapped out with like one second left so Charlotte could tie it up. And this back and forth with the belt, although it is supposed to be over now, did nothing for the women.

Roadblock was meh and boring. 3/10

The build-up towards the PPV was good, which is why the PPV had to suck. :quimby:

- Rusev vs Big Cass was a waste of time. Now, this grotesque feud must continue. Oh, joy!

- Cesaro & Sheamus vs The New Day was very good and MOTN. I liked how The New Day were desperate to retain and Cesaro/Sheamus were desperate to win, and it showed. That was a really good match, with a lot of energy and a cool, innovative finish. And color me surprised, WWE was not lame enough to have the champs retain here as I thought they would... Good stuff!

- Sami Zayn vs Braun Strowman was good. Sami Zayn sells like a MF, he is just on another level, and Strowman was a monster he is supposed to be. So, all in all, this match was a good wrestling storytelling and I liked it. No complaints.

- Seth Rollins vs Chris Jericho was solid, but uninspiring in a way, and the finish was really predictable. But, at least Rollins won.

- Rich Swann vs TJ Perkins vs The Brian Kendrick was solid, with the right man wining. Also, loved Neville coming out post-match and destroying Swann and TJP. It was about time!

- Charlotte vs Sasha Banks was boooooring. And, Charlotte won to the surprise of no one, which is why I can't care about the match and the division itself. Now, with that said, I'm not going to bother with the RAW Women's division anymore.

- Kevin Owens vs Roman Reigns was a decent, but boring ME. This match felt like it was designed to kill time till the Y2J run-in. Meh. Also, the finish was so uninspiring and lazy.

Overall, the show had a lot of potential, but ended up being disappointing. Oh, well.

...Am I just being overly cynical or has the whole Shield thing has run its course?

During that beatdown at the end the crowd was just booing, and when I read about it, I just kinda groaned. Part of it is surely a natural reaction to overpowered babyfaces, part of it is that Raw's main event scene has me missing the glory days of Cena vs Orton every damn month, but... When I see them bump fists and double powerbomb dudes through announce tables it's feeling more like another lame Rock return or the NWO hobbling their asses out in 2010 than something I should be bouncing up and down for

I don't think so. There are a few people out there who have that same opinion.. I personally only see Roman Reigns as the issue at this point. I used to like the guy but it's hard to like a guy when he's forced down our throats to being our next "guy" and he's just not a Hulk, or a SCSA, or a Rock, or a Cena.. He's just Roman Reigns a big samoan guy who was pushed too hard due to his ties to the pro wrestling community.
