Posted April 1, 201213 yr comment_5499062 Here is the stadium, sun is behind the big screen so we have a nice breeze coming through. Post your thoughts as they happen n this thread. Three way tag match - fun non-PPV opener with some crash course spots that got the crowd into it.
April 1, 201213 yr comment_5499066 I try not to oveereact to things, but if I had been able to get a refund after that opener, I might have. Sometimes, I fucking hate WWE.
April 1, 201213 yr comment_5499067 no matter who won the Rumble, that match is going to be, at best, the #4 or #5 match at this year's Wrestlemania Yeah I was thinking a lot about that. If it were up to me i'd have him face Bryan for the belt, storm out at the begining of Mania, challenge him to fight him in the opener saying he doesn't want to wait then beat him in like 30 secs w the brogue kick. That shit would have way more impact then having like a 8 - 12 min semi competitive match mid show like they'll probably get otherwise. Called it
April 1, 201213 yr Author comment_5499069 Don't know how it came across on tv but crowd did not care about the Orton match for the first five minutes. Huge Yes Yes Yes and Daniel Bryan and Bullshit chants. Orton and Kane was whatever live.
April 1, 201213 yr comment_5499070 From Meltz Sheamus won the title in 18 seconds with the Brogue kick. The plan was to beat the Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero record from a few years ago, but for reality, they didn't beat it. This had been planned for a while but there were people trying to get it changed.
April 1, 201213 yr Author comment_5499071 How did Show-Cody come across on tv? Live, no one gave a shit. However, the heel crowd did start a loud Let's go Cody chant.
April 1, 201213 yr comment_5499073 It was a fine little match, but no, it didn't feel like anyone cared that much.
April 1, 201213 yr comment_5499074 The first match was incredibly frustrating and got the show off to a terrible start, but I have this small hope that we haven't seen the last of them tonight. Orton looked great in the Kane match, even if it wasn't a particularly good match. Show/Cody was awfully clumsy and didn't have much heat.
April 2, 201213 yr comment_5499079 They kicked out of stuff a bunch of times, layed around in between, and Michaels did some awful sad faces in the corner. DRAMA~! I bet this will be Match of the Decade.
April 2, 201213 yr comment_5499081 They kicked out of stuff a bunch of times, layed around in between, and Michaels did some awful sad faces in the corner. DRAMA~! I bet this will be Match of the Decade. There were moments of this that worked, but yeah, I was just thinking the same thing.
April 2, 201213 yr comment_5499082 It was like an extended version of last years match, with the added bonus of bad Michaels acting.
April 2, 201213 yr Author comment_5499083 Divas match -smoke break Taker vs. HHH Gotta be here live. The headbutts, the actual match before the big stretch run felt better. The false finishes were not as good as last year but there were points you could see it ending. The thing we agree on here in the stadium is with no blood and no climbing, the Cell was not needed. Enjoyed this more live than I did last year's on my couch.
April 2, 201213 yr comment_5499084 Johnny Ace's suit might be my favorite thing about the show so far.
April 2, 201213 yr comment_5499085 Yeah last years Taker/HHH had a tighter home stretch of nearfalls (mostly because it was more contained) and the pre-home stretch of last years was also far superior to this years. It was that fucking annoying "ZOOM IN ON THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND BACK AND FORTH DIALOGUE BECAUSE WE MAKE MOVIES~!" shit that kills the flow in a lot of forced, current day WWE "epics".
April 2, 201213 yr Author comment_5499086 Team Johnny vs. Team Teddy - a tale of 2 matches live. No one cared about the Booker heat segment but came alive for the big spot-fu ending.
April 2, 201213 yr comment_5499087 but I have this small hope that we haven't seen the last of them tonight ????
April 2, 201213 yr comment_5499090 but I have this small hope that we haven't seen the last of them tonight ???? I thought John Laurinitis might order a rematch after winning this match, but I don't think that's going to happen now.
