February 23, 201411 yr Author comment_5589787 Week 7 options are: Sheamus & Christian vs Real Americans (WWE Raw, 2/10) Rey Mysterio vs Mark Henry vs Kofi Kingston vs Jack Swagger (WWE Smackdown, 2/14) Cesaro vs Randy Orton (WWE Smackdown, 2/14) Go vote in the poll thread and come here to discuss. I still need to watch Smackdown, but I loved that tag match from Raw.
February 23, 201411 yr comment_5589817 The tag match had the awesome Sheamus/Cesaro interactions that turned up the whole match another notch going forward, but Cesaro/Orton was really great stuff. Orton knew he had to step it up in there and the finishing stretch was pretty fantastic. If that was on Raw, it would have been a better finish, but it was still great.
February 27, 201411 yr Author comment_5591029 I had to go with the tag match this week, that Sheamus-Cesaro segments were out of this world. Although the Orton-Cesaro match was pretty good too. Damn Cesaro has been on a roll the last few weeks.
February 28, 201411 yr Author comment_5591211 So, there was a tie this week between the Sheamus/Christian-Real Americans match and the Cesaro-Orton match. The next poll will be posted this evening.

March 1, 201411 yr comment_5591310 Liked the Dandy/Satanico match, especially the opening mat work. I'm not sure I can put it ahead of Cena/Cesaro or even Cesaro/Bryan, but it was fun, nonetheless.
March 7, 201411 yr Author comment_5592419 Remember everybody the poll closes tomorrow morning. I wanted to like something as much as I loved Cena-Cesaro, but it didn't happen. Cena-Cesaro was my match of the year going into the Elimination Chamber. Cesaro and Cena just mesh so well together. They both work like Bob Backlund showing off their freakish strength, so maybe that is it. That being said, that superplex was the greatest superplex I had ever seen.
March 16, 201411 yr Author comment_5594625 Sorry for the delay folks. Cena-Cesaro walked away with last week's poll and got every single vote. The new poll (Week 9) is here. Go and vote there and discuss here. The nominees are: Sheamus vs Christian (WWE Raw, 2/24) Cesaro vs Big E (WWE Raw, 2/24) Sami Zayn vs Cesaro (NXT arRIVAL, 2/27) Emma vs Paige (NXT arRIVAL, 2/27)
March 16, 201411 yr Author comment_5594626 As much as I enjoyed Christian-Sheamus and there whole feud in general, plus as awesome as Emma-Paige was and really eye opening, Cesaro-Zayn is the clear winner here. One of those excellent matches that play up previous encounters and is two guys stealing the show. That dive by Zayn through the ropes only to get uppercutted is my spot of the year, so far.
March 16, 201411 yr comment_5594647 I voted for Cesaro v. Zayn, but I'm not sure "Free TV" is the right way to describe the WWE Network.
March 17, 201411 yr comment_5594684 I almost voted for Sheamus-Christian out of spite of the one count in Cesaro-Zayn. I picked the latter in the end, but there were several moments that I didn't like at all in that match.
March 17, 201411 yr Author comment_5594699 I voted for Cesaro v. Zayn, but I'm not sure "Free TV" is the right way to describe the WWE Network. That is a good point Dylan. That week was a free trial for the WWE Network, so at least it makes sense. However, going forward is NXT not on Free TV anymore? Does this eliminate Superstars too? I'd love to hear what people think.
March 17, 201411 yr comment_5594725 Voted for Zayn vs. Cesaro for being great and all. I'd keep NXT in there. Serial Network shows I think should stay in general.
March 17, 201411 yr comment_5594735 Technically, USA and SyFy are also not "free TV". I don't have Cable, so I cannot watch them on broadcast TV. I have to pay for cable or pay for Hulu Plus if I want to watch them legit. So I pay for Hulu and for WWENetwork. I would still consider them "free TV" in this sense. But the bigger question becomes, now that PPVs are going to be the same category as NXT, ME, and SS, does the distinction matter anymore?

I guess this is not a "Free TV" poll and is more a traditonal TV poll.

I guess this is not a "Free TV" poll and is more a traditonal TV poll. Works for me. I was just following my own line of thinking about the PPVs. But ideally they are something "other" compared to weekly TV. Maybe Charles can rename the thread to "TV Match of the Week". Or maybe we just agree that "Free TV" means basically anything but PPV. And as I said, that works for me.
March 24, 201411 yr Author comment_5595688 Another run away victory for Cesaro this week, this time against Sami Zayn.
