Well that was underwhelming. I guess they set the bar too high after the first 90 minutes.

So what is closing the show? More HHH/Rock build or do they go back to Brock? Maybe Reigns?

Was it Joe? edit: didn't realize there was a whole new page of posts.

Too good to be true. But man, that sounds amazing.

Holy shit, they actually showed real consequences with no commentary and the aftermath after the break.

I think this is the best they've booked Brock since he came back. I can't wait to see him again.

Barret-Sheamus-Ziggler-Bryan is a nice group for a good singles and even tag matches. Hopefully they ran and build them for more than just Extreme Rules.

By the way, we kinda already know 3 matches for next year. - Taker (retirement?) - HHH vs Rock or a mixed tag - Brock vs ??? And they'll try to get Austin for one more match (if not, he's gonna be a guest referee). If it's another 7 match card then once again there wont be much space for full-timers.

I'm not even saying more than 50 fans wanted to see that (just throwing out a number). I'm saying that you can't claim people who wanted a victor in that match are somehow wrong for wanting that. That's what the show was advertised to be, for better or for worse. Mmm. But that small number of fans is probably way bigger now and I don't think the minority that wanted a victor in the match doesn't want to watch a rematch. Isn't the point of wrestling work the fans to keep watching? Seems to me like they succeeded (in a good way, for once).

The Triple Threat lasted like a minute. Is it such a big deal considering it was done to not pin Lesnar and give an ending that people weren't going to dread more than lying to fans? I don't know man, you really think people feel ripped off after what happened?

Oh, do people still believe the company will still go through with the "re build the IC/US titles" plan? I say they forget about it by May or June. After reddit sent HHH a fruit basket after NXT Takeover I wonder if someone is gonna send a couple of kilos of Colombia's finest to Vince.

I like Rollins as champ. He has beef with every important face in the company and every title match will feel like he can lose it. I also liked the booking because Reigns looked incredible and but didn't get the "chosen one" ending. I think crowds will stop resenting him and his coronation will feel special as it should.

Told y'all him losing earlier was cashing in 101. That's how they always book the "opportunistic" cash-in.

Can Rusev retire Taker next year, please?

That segment went so long they cut the promo video for Bray/Taker.

Oh shit.

Holy crap. This is 'Murica video is hilarious.

I almost don't wanna watch the finish of this match.

There's so much time left that it's almost a given they are running a big angle after the main event.

Damn, man. No nostalgia fun? Not even unintentional comedy? I had a blast watching it

Ok, that handshake was dumb as hell

That was WAAAAAY better than I thought it would be. As fun as the could've booked it. Don't really care for Sting so I'm not mad at the wrong man winning. Great show so far.

GOAT RKO. Seth losing. That's "cashing in later 101", no?

So according to Meltzer on his podcast, WWE is "full court pressing" to get Jim Ross back. He couldn't finish the story because his brother came to his house and Dave started talking to him and never went back to the JR subject (which was pretty funny). But he explained Ross wouldn't have been caught dead going to WWE shows and now he's front row at NXT and going to the HOF.
