July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760509 Loved Nattie/Becky! Best main roster women's match of the year! Awesome transition to hear. Nattie worked great heat, Beckys selling impeccable and hope spots great. Awesome progression to finish! My favorite match of the night!

July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760511 Lynch-Nattie was solid (probably better than I’m giving it, but a match built around control work and jockeying for leglocks felt like an interlude on this show, which in terms of tempo on this show may not be a bad thing). But the real stories here are Dean Ambrose: Ironic Comedy Champion, Bryan’s fired-up promo, and Darren Young’s theme song being a series of grunted Bob Backlund expressions.

Awesome progression to finish! My favorite match of the night! Wow. Glad you enjoyed it but just didn't connect here at all. Logic was sound but I didn't find Nattie's work on the leg compelling and Lynch even stopped selling it for a while until the finish. Card placement didn't help but this was a real disappointment. What did I miss??
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760514 Geez, Backlund sold that slap like he got shot out of a cannon. LOL at Young looking at his hands in shock like Backlund used to do. Nice reference to 1994.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760515 I mean, they kept Darren Young strong, but the finish didn't make much sense. I kinda like the idea of Young as "a pretty good wrestler with an absolutely deadly submission move", which is how I'd run this.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760516 Well the good news is that Smackdown at least keeps one title The bad news is that this match was a mess at the end.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760517 Wow they are absolutely in love with apron spots tonight. I thought this as well, and it seemed noticeable that the announcers didn't even bother to call Young's, as an acknowledgment of, "Yeah, some other guys beat you to it." Such things often get labeled as bad agent work, but I suspect it's more just that dudes start thinking of something new-ish as a transitional move and everyone starts half-consciously mimicking it. Typical WWE move to have Darren Young steal indie up-and-comer Marty Skurll’s finisher.

What did I miss?? I thought Becky sold well throughout. I loved Natties finish kicking the leg through refs leg then Sharpshooter. Maybe rewatch sometime. I got it at ****. Besides Becky/Charlotte at Rumble and the MANIA triple threat which I also have ****. What's been better on main roster?

July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760520 Enzo and Cass just talked for about 5 minutes, and I loved every second of it.

A solid tag match that perfectly executed Booking 101, but no great shakes. It was double FIP with the logical finish. Hardly the makings of a great match.

On big shows, I liked Natalya/Charlotte from Roadblock and the tag opener tonight. Sasha & Becky vs. Naomi & Tamina from Fastlane as well. Would have to look up a lot from TV to see what fits there. Edit: Of course the 2 you mentioned as well.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760524 That mouth is going to give Enzo Amore a WWE career long after his wrestling doesn't deserve one. Don't know why they felt the need to bleep "crap" or close to it
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760525 Does Enzo always have a smiling pile of shit on his outfit or is that just because of his promo?
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760526 I love how much of Enzo and Cass's tag offense is just Cass throwing Enzo at people.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760527 Feels like the six-man is having a hard time getting the crowd going after the promos. These matches usually shine on TV but definitely a bit cold thus far.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760528 Okay, picking up now. Crowd still sounds like they're trying to warm up.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760530 I forgot about Jericho/Orton...these shows are way too long Yep. Don't even understand the need to go long. It has to burn out a crowd to go 4+ hours without an intermission.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760531 I have half an hour to watch now and turned it on for the frigging Orton segment? Screw this. I'm watching JYD/Duggan vs the Russians
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760532 How weird is Cena’s life that he has to work this match, then fly to New York to host the Today Show for summer reading segments with Savannah and Hota? Also: why are both of these trios being broken up? This feud could run six more months just by treading water on what they’re already doing. The promo work from Enzo and Cass feels so much like what actually gets over with casual fans, sells merch, etc. I’ll be curious to see if it works.Enzo’s flying DDT on Anderson was deranged. Lots of really good action throughout, even if Cena on the periphery felt weird, even as the finish was his. Not the best Cena/Club match by any means, but a solid way to continue their run and push it into Summerslam.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_5760533 Can't believe they're going long on account of this incredibly long and ineffective promo segment.
