WWE Battleground 2014 Preview & Live Discussion Thread

Also, stoked that replay is on right away so I can watch Uso's/Wyatt's one more time.

Honestly, I'm watching the replay, too. I might watch a good bit of it. I know I'll watch the divas again. I missed most of it.

 

[Smart Marx]

Damn, was expecting a Lesnar appearance to murder Cena, but I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow night for that. Good show overall.

Quick ratings...

Uso's/Wyatt's - ****1/4
Paige/AJ - **
Rusev/Swagger - **3/4
Jericho/Wyatt - **3/4
Battle Royale - ***
Cena/Orton/Kane/Reigns - ***1/2


I think I made my feelings pretty self-explanatory up there. :[/COLOR]

Definitely a solid show, for sure. I can't disagree with your ratings too much.

You certainly did! I'll be posting the match of the night thread anyway if you want to elaborate your thoughts.

I wasn't expecting Lesnar tonight. They usually like to stroll him out on Raw to pop the TV audience.

Who thinks this was terrible? I'm usually a big critic when I'm entertained, but damn I have no faults with it. Like you said, it's not SummerSlam.

Peoples on the Facebook, mostly.

Honestly, John Cena should do more post-match interviews. He's showing some real heart here. I like it.

He's at his best when he's playing it close to the chest. The promo with Rollins before their match a couple of weeks back where he said something to the effect of "that briefcase guarantees you a championship match but tonight you've got a match with a champion, which I guarantee means you're in for the fight of your life" was sick.

Another thing, wasn't RVD supposed to be in the Battle Royale?

People on Facebook need to get a life.

I hope rvd isn't dead

WWE probably didn't need him. The Kofi for the token flying spot monkey.

When Cena isn't being hokey or attempting to get a rise out of the audience, I can admit he can get decent promo out.

I really liked the interview with Renee though, it was more than a "promo," it was almost a shoot. Just John giving his fellow boys a shout and speaking from the heart.

I hope rvd isn't dead

You're a morbid motherfucker, aren't you?

Watching the divas match at last and I just noticed the leopard print lining in Paige's jacket. Seriously sexy.

 

[Smart Marx]

Digging Paige's purple eyeshadow as well.

Not a bad match so far. I think I may have to give this a little more than the two stars Mr. Fuji gave it.

 

[Smart Marx]

AJ looked like she landed right on the back of her neck off that top-rope sunset flip. Ouch.

 

[Smart Marx]

Surprised that AJ kicked out of the Paige Turner. Solid ending sequence with the counter to the PTO and the snap Shining Wizard. I'm glad she's using that again.

Very solid match. I think they have potential to do better, but I'll be generous and say three stars.

 

[Lover Boy]

I went to bed and missed so matches, I will have to catch up on them today.

Just watching the IC Title match and I noticed that ADR never actually got eliminated.

He went under the bottom rope before standing on the apron and being eliminated.

Really? :

When Miz comes out to celebrate his win tonight, Alberto should slide under the bottom rope and toss him out to win the battle royal!
