I hope they keep this going between the two of them. Really awesome stuff.

Cody gotta turn here, right?

Cody gotta turn here, right?

 

I would think so. I mean he mentions that the 'Brotherhood' started in this building twice.

Well that was...different.

Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs. Rybaxel

- IT’s true but after working together for almost a year, Ryback and Axel ARE better as a team. Really liked their control segment even though the crowd was chanting for the Blackhawks. Props to Goldust for getting a “Lets go Goldust” chant. Goldust & Cody looked like they were in prome form. Goldust as FIP and Cody with the hot offense. Cody almost ate it on the moonsault but they recovered nicely. Three for three so far and I am really glad they added this match to the card.

Oh man, they are going for the Goldust-Booker breakup angle.

I love Rusev's fantastically terrible flagwaving.

I feel like I've seen this Rusev push so many times over the last few years. What makes him any different than Kozlov or Ryback? It ends in him finally losing and the mystique being busted.

If he keeps doing that gore to the outside, Big E is going to be in terrible shape in a couple years. Have yet to see one of those that look good for either of them as it seems hard to protect yourself

I really wish Rusev/Big E. was given a few more minutes. I really enjoyed what we got and then it just ended.

Rusev vs. Big E

- That might be the biggest reaction I have ever heard for Big E.

- So far, the best possible match these guys could have leading up to the super spear. That kick from Rusev was nuts.

It's been far too long since a good Rhodes tag with a long Dustin FIP. Very good tag. E/Rusev could be a pretty great bomb throwing power match given a bit over 10 minutes.

Their hockey "match"

 

Well this explains why the booked this with about 2 minutes left in the pre show

For a PPV that was panned coming in, they sure have done a good job so far.

Kofi Kingston vs. Bo Dallas

- Well fuck… I thought at least a win over Kofi would help Bo. This Kane crap helps nobody.

First time seeing Bo. Thought he was pretty funny.

 

This feels much more like a souped up Raw than a PPV, but that might be the new norm for the non-major shows.

OK that could have paid off if Bo would have picked up the pin while speaking about Kofi getting better.

Hey, at least they can go the BNB route with Bo and have him be a funny troll.

I'm gonna really be fighting an uphill battle trying to hate Bo Dallas. I don't think they've had a heel this delusional in years.

Not really. I think this just measns they are going to give lots of time for the two main events and the Steph-Bryan segment.

I dug that Big E vs . Rusev match. So far everything has been good. The Kane thing was what it was.

Sweet.. this match should start right as GoT starts. Might be able to skip out until the Shield match.

I'm afraid I've got some bad news, Game Of Thrones is about to start. See ya in an hour people.

Another good match with Barrett and RVD. The crowd treated both guys as big stars, but man RVD is played out to me. Though this might have been the best he has looked in his return.

Well here comes a potentially embarrassing segment.

 

And Stephanie given a softball right in the middle of the plate hits it out of the park with the CM Punk quitting remark
