    Sheamus rarely has a bad match these days with anybody. His character can grate a bit but his in ring work is usually good.

    I have noticed Sheamus as big man really seems to like going to the top rope. This seems to add to his matches for me. This works very well against the Big Show as well.

    Disappointing to have two world title matches with cheap finishes, especially after hell in a cell. Also didn't like Orton going for the punt considering we know its banned. On the plus side Ziggler gets a ppv win and punk goes 1 year as champ.

    Sounds like that part from the bible that Homer listened to at the end of the episode where he ate the blowfish all about the people begotting other people.

    Was decent PPV. Always nice to see those gropey Diva pins. :D

    Botch by Otunga confused Bryan. Was like a mix between an arm drag and a spinning slam. Could see Bryan's look after it.
    Had to laugh at how everyone else who runs shoulder first into the ring post comes out again holding their shoulder, but Ziggler is out cold.
    Miz was acting more like the over enthusiastic face about to turn heel. Or even like the time Jericho returned and just trolled everyone by not talking. Looks like a definite heel turn for Orton, going for the punt like that.

    One thing I never understand about outside interference in a match is how do they decide when to interfere? Like how many times could Punk have lost that match? Cena hit the F-U and would've won if Punk hadn't kicked out himself.
    Speaking of F-U, how come the 5 knuckle shuffle is still called that in the PG era?
    Having not watched NXT in a long time, I'm not too familiar with these guys, but from what you say about Roman, reminds me where is Mason Ryan?

    well when it comes to the decision on when to interfere the viewer isn't really supposed to over think it and wonder why they didn't interfere earlier!


    Also Roman Reigns is not like Mason Ryan. He doesn't look freaky big like that. He looks like an athlete, think like an american football player since thats his background.

    Why were they promoting the title match for Royal Rumble from who wins the triple treat match. Will there be no title match at TLC?

    Yes they will have a title match at TLC. Having the promotion of the rumble match was WWE simply promoting the fact Rock will be getting a title shot at the PPV. They will be asking the same type of question at TLC i'd imagine.

    Yeah, I know he isn't like Mason Ryan but just when I saw someone mention how he wasn't Batista Jr, it just got me wondering what happened the other Batista Jr. :) Checked wiki after I posted and turns out he was injured but was involved in the lumberjack match a few weeks ago.

    I wondered that as well but then I realised that at least 2 of those guys would probably be fighting each other at TLC anyway.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,899 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Oh right, it was me that mentioned Batista Jr (couldn't remember has name at the time).

    The missing list is pretty long with Swagger, Camacho, Riley, Christian, Hawkins, Mark Henry, Zeke, Bateman, Hunico Bourne oh and those other three HHH, Undertaker and some fella called Lesner.

    I know a good few are injured. Could make for a fun thread if we made up pretend stories to explain their absences from tv since WWE don't (normally) give us the real reasons


    Matista is currently inactive as a result of a concussion. He suffered the injury when he kneed himself in the head while bending down to tie his shoelace

    I really enjoy JBL on commentary, he does quote the "fact sheet" a bit too much but I would chalk that up to experience - King on the other hand was consistently telling flat jokes that the team nervously laughed about - I think there is a bad dynamic between the three of them

    Great to see Ziggler win.

    Agree with the Lawler statement, the dynamic between the 3 did not work. Also since his return, Jerry has sounded slow, sluggish and just not into it. I really wish they kept him off tv a bit longer and let JR in the booth.

    The lifeboat has set sail



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    To be fair, King has been pretty awful for a good ten years now. He'll have the occasional good night but surely they can find someone better and just use Lawler as a regular legend?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,229 ✭✭✭airmax87


    1st match was really good, then gradually got worse..
    Worst main event I've watched this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,949 ✭✭✭A Primal Nut


    The Brock Lesnar guy was all over this show, doing all the superstars' poses.

    Legend of a man.
