Really unhappy how long that went. Don't want Lesnar/Reigns to be rushed. Taker really needs to quit. He looked like a neighbor of mine who has two sons that are the devil incarnate, just had his knee replaced and is always walking around like Andy Dufresne after the sister got to him. Just sad.

This needs to end ASAP.

Old School a couple minutes in. They booked this match perfectly.

Unfortunately not the match.

True Blood looks like an even bigger douche carrying a lantern out in daylight. Also, clearly not a team player telling people to watch Walking Dead instead of his match.

Going to have to rush the last 2 matches now though. Hopefully Taker/Bray is nothing but videos and lightning strikes.

Okay. All the points for this.

Okay Steph's promo there was awesome.

Ugh. Rock for this?

John Cena vs. Rusev - All time, five star entrances. Just the absolute titz. - Great match, probably better than last month although the finish seemed to happen a little fast after breaking the Accolade. **** Mama Maivia at ringside suggests some fireworks later on.

Bellas vs. AJ & Paige -Crowd treated it like an extension of the bathroom break that was the concert. That's fine, because you need to go to the bathroom during a 4 hour show, but I'm glad I hit that during the concert. Fun match with everyone working hard and it wasn't even absurdly rushed. Could very well be reading into things, but AJ and Paige's interactions seemed to suggest AJ may be on the way out. Seemed very concerned with taking everything in.

Awesome backstage bit with Bryan and all of the legends. Flair chopping Steamboat is in the running for spot of the night.

Sting vs. HHH - Old Timers' Day is always fun. Except the finish.

Trips' entrance is the best and worst thing ever. Love it.

I always thought Sting was from Venice. Turns out he was originally from Tokyo. WTF?

Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins - I liked the layout and enjoyed Seth's big spots a ton, but like most Randy Orton matches this one probably looked a whole lot better on paper than in execution. I can't see Rollins cashing in tonight. ***

IC Title Ladder Match - Started out hot with the dive trains, felt a little cliche and neither here nor there as everybody got their ish in during the middle portion, but the Harper/Ambrose powerbomb, the Barrett/Stardust ridiculous suplex off the ladder and a few other big spots picked it back up. Finish was really great. In an era before these matches were overdone this might've been a classic, but not in 2015. ***1/4

How do you run the Mizdow split just to job him out to Big Show? In a *meaningless* match no less? Ugh. Almost makes you wish Show had acromegaly.

Tag Title Fatal Four Way -Fun, fast, spotfest with comedy. Great popcorn fun.

Acoustics in the building sound great. Should be a hot show.

At least Jey got to come to the ring and say he was part of the show. Return of the swing! Into a dropkick! FUN.

I'm sure business is an important, if not the key, factor driving driving the philanthropic efforts of many companies. As long as those efforts are legit and the charitable causes come out ahead at the end of the day I'm cool with it. Everybody wins.

Unless in-ring is your sole criteria, I'd have Hogan, Austin & Rock as the three big names.

Lawler is absolutely the first name that came to mind when thinking of a wrestling minimalist.

If you're extending it back to the Jumbo era, I'd definitely add the below as well. Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi & Toshiaki Kawada vs. Jumbo Tsuruta, Akira Taue & Masa Fuchi (AJ 5/22/92)
