    I can't remember an opening hour as bad as this in a WWE ppv in a long, long time. This has been awful.

    By any standard it's been bad alright. 2 dirt worst finishes and now a bait and switch.

    It looked like it was supposed to be the terry funk/bret hart 97 finish but with a small package, but that's a lot of meat to manoeuvre.

    It did certainly look sloppy but 100% it was the planned finish.

    I hate the fake audience noises. It's like watching a sitcom

    Weirdly been the best part of this PPV so far and I agree that the fake noises ain't good.

    Well that a match. Also Tom Phillips might need to look up the definition of obliterate because that shoulder tackle by Braun was a gentle nudge. I’ve seen more contact in a junior hurling match here in cork.

    It was, they just lost control in the 3rd transition, should not be happening on a live ppv though, what's the point in micing refs.

    What's with all the bloody ads? Is this the norm on Peacock?

    Riddle and nakamura are absolutely going into business together opening a medical marijuana store.

    God I'd forgotten how annoying Riddle is, or how annoying they've made him at least.

    Who says Vince isn't in touch with pop culture?

    Thought they'd been dropping hints about that for ages! Didn't he make similar jokes when he was teaming up with Pete Dunne?

    Anyway. Shinsuke Nakamura's entrance music is still class.

    Michael Cole talking about how he's wacky and likes to get high (flying).

    Shinsuke on the Tokyo dome diet of fish rice and growth hormones.

    Wish they would do more with Nakamura.

    Hopefully the atrocious opening hour was just building up to this match blowing us away

    Man, I think Shinske Nakamura's entrance is so daft, I love it! The tune is amazing.

    This might be alright, but I get a feeling there'll be nonsense just cause it's hard to imagine them ever booking a normal match anymore.

    That could of going on for another ten minutes, finished seemed a bit abrupt.

    Never doubted Rollins winning....

    But hope Naka gets his moment in the sun soon.

    So far for me nothing has cracked **1/2, Rollins/Nakamura the best match so far at ***1/4. They got lost badly in the middle portion after Nakamura fell off the apron and I really don't need everyone cutting promos throughout the match but the action was pretty good for the most part.

    Good match between Seth and nak but that shouldn’t be a shock. The finish to the opening match was clumsy on purpose I think but the Apollo vs big E was trying to be something which they ballsed up.

    Vince isn’t in 1990s movies yet so no. I was waiting for sinsuke to remove his head from his shoulders but no joy. God I hate riddle.

    Never thought I'd see Irish Whip Wrestling featured on a WWE PPV.
