August 23, 201510 yr Author comment_5694115 Smart money is in on the show and I don't think I am going to like this show very much from a booking standpoint.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694118 If you've never seen Lillian Garcia's self-sung entrance video, be somebody and go YouTube that noise.Michael Cole gets the biggest heel reaction of anyone this weekend. JBL gets a big pop wagging his cowboy hat like it's the last scene of Dr. Strangelove. Lawler gets the best reaction of the three. He deserves to make everyone's All Time Top 100 ballot for his entrance music alone.Chants for New Day throughout. Crowd 50/50 on Lesnar and Taker. Kids and parents are for Mean Mark, while twentysomething cretins prefer Brock.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694119 Not loving this Jon Stewart open. I just wanna get to the wrestling.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694120 Jon Stewart looks like Vince Russo mixed with Hank Scorpio from the Simpsons. I didn't really want to see Mick Foley on TV ever again.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694124 Robert Reich and Dutch Mantell down there died a death at first, but is slowly winning the audience over during their two-man stand-up routine. Their shtick was initially inaudible over the crowd. It pretty much sucked and the reaction was mediocre, but improved by the end.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694126 Coming soon from WWE Films: a buddy cop film starring Jon Stewart and Mick Foley.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694128 Yeah why not start the "Most historic show in years" with the same crap that begins every single RAW for the last 4 years. Sorry I will take a match with Liger as my opener
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694131 Working good for me. Didn't they start the last PPV with Orton vs Shemaus?
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694132 So we'll have a stupid talking segment to start the show, and then they start the first match with Sheamus on the mic...
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694134 Match is dying a thousand deaths to the surprise of fucking NOBODY.
August 23, 201510 yr Author comment_5694137 Randy Orton vs. Sheamus - This started off promising with Orton taking out Sheamus on the announcer’s table but Sheamus decided he wanted to control the match and it got real boring, real quick. - I love Sheamus but he never moved past 2nd gear. - I give them props for getting the crowd back into it with Randy’s comeback after losing them early on to meaningless chants to keep themselves entertained - The ending was a little awkward but this was ok. Not great but ok. 0-1 in predictions
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694138 I had some friends here, who have just left. The sight of Shemus and his Mohawk did not do much to sell them on watching wrestling in 2015. A lot of "I can't believe you watch this shit", oh well.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694141 Re: arena smoke, Johnny Sorrow stopped by and hasn't yet switched to vape pens. Match was entertaining in the building even if it didn't get a big reaction. Finish felt sudden, but Sheamus is a fun heel to boo. He knows how to get the right reactions.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694142 The crowd was pretty dead for most of the match, but at least the heat picked up near the end when Orton did his babyface buildup routine.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5694143 I still don't really get what it means for Sheamus to beat Orton or vice versa. Every Orton match feels like that.
