The Big WWE Wrestling Thread

I thought it was the most disappointing match of the night tbh(not worst, but most disappointing). Dean didn't look good at all imo. Biggest pop for me was HBK music starting, just because it was the first surprise.

Reactions seem quite mixed to the show so far, with it edging towards overall disappointment . Most are praising the in-ring stuff and are dumbfounded by the outcomes.

PS. It is like they were sitting there saying "***, it is a PPV and we haven't booked a Wyatt Family loss yet, what do we do?" ...."Well, we have a spare six seconds here that is enough time surely?"

The worst part about the whole Rock segment was that it was 4am and it went on for the best part of half an hour. If you really had to have the Rock there have him interfere in the main event winning Reigns the title.

The last 90 minutes of the show was VERY badly booked in my opinion.

Ironically, the show had an overrun of about an hour. Go figure.
 
Thank **** I did not stay up for that.

That Lesnar Ambrose match was garbage and ran for how long? Didn't even leave the main arena for christ sake.

Didn't like the Foley/Austin/HBK segment, feel they can do something more substantial with those guys.

Rock segment was horrendous, surprised he didn't speak up.

Nothing beats that main event though, lacklustre and the adjusting of mic volumes to suit their agenda.

(Shane is still amazing doe)
 
I rewatched the ladder match. It really was quite brilliant from everyone involved.

^Yeah, Lesnar Ambrose was very poor. I just think it name Dean Ambrose look really weak. Surely the point of making it a no holds barred Street fight was so that Ambrose could put on a bit of a show and maybe even win whilst still protecting Lesnar, bit it was just a usual boring Lesnar match... It barely even left the ring. I read that they cut it back because they were running out of time.

With you on all counts. Honestly wish I'd just looked up the results and saved myself 4 horus. Looking through the results, only one of them honestly makes sense, and that's giving the IC title to Ryder, assuming them spin off Owens and Zayn into their own feude. They don't need the belt as they will put on amazing matches, and it's good to see the WWE finally see something in Ryder. 4 years too late.

Zero upside to Jericho beating AJ.
6 man tag was purely an excuse for the legends to do a run in, so whatever.
Extremely poor street fight.
Womens match was ok, would have prefered Banks getting the win, Lynch eats yet another defeat.
Why did they even bring Shane back?
Corbin isn't even particularly good in NXT.
RIP Wyatt family, but they've not looked strong in forever.
Trips' entrance was perhaps the best part of the whole PPV. Second only to the Saiyan New Day.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I can even bring myself to watch raw. Sure the crowd will be amazing, but watching 3 hours of a wrestling crowd entertaining itself seems a waste when the highlights will be cut and stuck on youtube anyway.
 
Finished.

I enjoyed it on the whole. I thought AJ would win. I wanted New Day to lose, and I wanted Charlotte to lose until I saw the changes to the belt which I'm totally on board for. Shane and Taker is a hard one. A good story could have come from this but booking it against Taker AND writing it so he's fired if he loses writes the angle into a corner. HHH and Roman, I knew Roman would win and don't care either way tbh.

Performer of the night for me was, Becky Lynch.

Sami Zayn is new to me as of, Fast Lane. I've heard of him before of course. I don't like his look or attire, but damn his theme is awesome.
 
I think most fans have a problem not with the wrestling or quality of the majority of matches, more the outcome... the results just seemed to go in the face of what the fans wanted.

Sure, fans do not get what they want sometimes, I get that, but in this case, fans are just left going "huh" which is not a good thing.
 
Just finished watching. What the hell was that? I thought NXT would be better and I was proved right.

Zach Ryder? really? I'm going to say he loses in a rematch to KO on Raw tonight.

Jericho beating AJ? I just hope Y2J goes into the main event or its a waste.

I can't decide if the Rock and Cena were trying to get Bray over or help him to his usual ppv loss.

Corbin to the main roster? There are other talents i would rather see from NXT moving up.

As for the main event. zzzz...
 
The 3 big matches were basically one big spot for Shane and a lot of nothing!

Ambrose v Lesnar was the disappointment of the whole night. That should have been the match which shot Ambrose to the moon where he took a load of punishment but went down fighting. Instead it was a short nothing match which did nothing for him and just had Lesnar phoning it in with his suplex city bore.

The main event was just a HHH ego trip they didn't even attempt to try do anything about the reaction they knew Reigns was going to get they just threw him under the bus and went all North Korea on the sound to pretend it was all good!

It's good to see the old boys at these shows but basically the only guys who actually looked strong and came out hot last night were those up and coming stars Jericho, Foley, HBK, Austin, Rock and Cena!
 
I'm delighted that Zack Ryder finally got something to show that they haven't completely forgotten about him even if he loses the title tonight.

New day as the Ginyu Force was awesome!

Shane also put on a brilliant show, flashback to his hardcore days.
 
Pretty much agree on the whole.
Why was the Rock even there? What was the point?, utter waste of time and didn't even get to hear the Rock let loose and be more funny.
Undeertaker looking completely gassed and "struggling" to Shame about 10mins into the match to sell it, really?

The non street fight that had, what, a few kendo stick hits? Lmao, really, so not a street fight, and one low blow illegal move and that's a street fight now?

Honestly, best part for me was seeing Cena doing what he could to be in the ring, no matter what you think that guy is all in and looked in no way close enough shape to really be in the ring.

HHH looked like he lost so much size, seems to me like he tried to cut up to lean out for the match but messed up, the entire match was woeful, HHH is carrying to many bad injuries etc now. Reigns is so messed up now as a character I wouldn't know what to do with him, he would be useless as a heel, as he has no mic skills, and no one wants him as a pushed babyface.

So glad the women diva thing is dropped, it was cringe, and to be honest, they have been putting in some better shows that a lot of the main eventless, the had a solid three way match with no gimmicks.

Glad Ryder got the IC belt, he deserves it, and after being screwed over when his character was going over so well years ago it about time he had his chance for a bit of a push.
Just read, in true WWE fashion, he lost it to the Miz, Jesus, they really don't have a clue now do they.
Things are only going to get worse now.

Glad the diva title was dropped for a straight up womens own championship, its taken to long, and honestly, some of the matches have straight up been much better than some main events, they had a solid three way match without any gimmicks,

Also, 24 hours after AJ Styles loses to Chris Jericho when Jericho kicked out of the Styles Clash, he beats him with the Styles Clash to become no1 contender...Who could predict any of this at all?!

I'm glad AJ will be in the main event scene(well, possibly), but it will just end in another PPV loss for him against Reigns.


EDIT- the fatal fourway at the end of raw was brilliant. Great to see Cesaro back.

"Hey Vince, wrestlemania hasn't had the best of receptions, a lot of people seem to be confused by most of the results. On the plus side though, people are responding well to Zack Ryder's surprise win"

Vince- " Right, I see. Push The Miz!"
