Posted April 30, 20178 yr comment_5798580 Other than NXT every week, I haven't watched any WWE since catching bits of the immediate post Mania shows. Looking forward to Reigns vs Strowman. The rest of the card has potential to be good Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe Neville vs. Austin Aries (Cruiserweight Championship) Matt and Jeff Hardy vs. Cesaro and Sheamus (Raw Tag Team Championships) Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss (Raw Women's Championship) Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho (United States Championship) Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt (House of Horrors)
April 30, 20178 yr comment_5798582 Balor is on Miz TV for the pre-show as well. I'm pumped for Reigns-Strowman & interested to see the stupidity that comes from the House of Horrors, but this is an average card.
April 30, 20178 yr comment_5798584 Seth Rollins Vs. Samoa Joe Roman Reigns Vs. Braun Strowman Neville Vs. Austin Aries Those three matches should be hype!
April 30, 20178 yr comment_5798605 The spoilers looking at the betting lines And yes I have a feeling this will be the most 1995 WWE version of a House of Horrors match possible
April 30, 20178 yr comment_5798609 I have a feeling this show will end up being sneaky good since there was zero buzz going in. Most of the matchups on paper should be at least decent if not good, and we have the possibility of an all time Wrestlecrap moment which might reach "so bad it's good" levels.
April 30, 20178 yr comment_5798620 I'm attending this card and expecting at least a decent to good show. The last WWE PPV card I attended was No Mercy, which also had an Orton-Wyatt match. I think I'm cursed.
April 30, 20178 yr comment_5798623 Expecting some New Day/Wyatt compound brawl level of blandness. Other than that, really hard to call it a good card. Roman/Strowman and that's pretty much it. Maybe Hardys/Cesaro & Sheamus, too.
April 30, 20178 yr comment_5798626 Jerry Lawler has no clue what is going with this show. Wow given how much they are pushing the "Bayley is coming home" so far, the updated betting lines are making more and more sense
April 30, 20178 yr comment_5798627 Jerry Lawler has no clue what is going with this show. I don't care how out of it he is because that t-shirt is amazing, even by King's standards.
April 30, 20178 yr comment_5798628 Never been a Finn fan, but he's killing it on Miz TV with good babyface fire.
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798630 When are people going to realize that KO working a headlock like shit isn't good wrestling?
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798632 Well... Jericho's almost half a century old and KO is not very good, so of course it seems to be in slow motion.
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798633 Ugh, Kevin Owens is so terrible. He can't string together more than two moves without leaning over to grab his knees, or lean over the ropes and start sucking wind. And I don't give a crap what the announcers say about Owens having a "strategy" and being a "back to basics" wrestler - he HAS to keep going back to the side headlock so he can lie down, because he's winded. Hey it's cool, you don't want to be a muscle guy. Then don't lift weights...but do some goddamn cardio, for fuck's sake. Have some professional pride. Jericho might still have a couple of good matches left in him, but he's not going to have them when he has to drag that big bag of crap Kevin Owens around with him. Gah.
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798634 Is it just me or does this match seem to be in slow motion? Well... Jericho's almost half a century old and KO is not very good, so of course it seems to be in slow motion. You said it, dude. That's what happens when one wrestler moves at half speed due to age and accumulated injuries, and the other is out of shape.
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798636 I assume this leads to a rematch with a Loser Leaves Town type stipulation. I can't imagine Owens would have the "new face of America" gimmick if he wasn't going to be the US Champ long term, and I thought it was pretty much established that Jericho is going back on the road with Fozzy?
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798637 Yeah that was the major "what the fuck" when people were looking at the betting lines. I mean at least it leads to someone on the next PPV but why would want to see Jericho vs Owens 3 I am not sure unless it is a stipulation It was a perfectly fine RAW match. Just like their Wrestlemania match was a RAW or Smackdown type match
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798639 I actually thought that wasn't too bad. Much better than Mania thanks to an audible crowd that was way more invested than I thought a 2017 crowd could be for a Jericho match. I didn't think it was wrestled in slow motion at all, either - in fact, I thought the sequences were pretty tight with signature spot into counter into signature spot and repeat. Ending was a bit of a shocker too.
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798640 Much like the Wrestlemania match, the closing moments were actually good. Jericho stomping the fingers is the kind of hatred and mean cuntiness I wanted since the beggining.
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798641 So the PPV where feuds are decided according to the commentators have had two matches where it is obvious there will be another match to settle it.
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798643 Michael Cole saying Sheamus is one of the most underrated and underappreciated wrestlers in WWE is a nice, if not a bit unexpected, call.
May 1, 20178 yr comment_5798644 A lot more control from the Hardy's than I'd have expected here. If they are in fact losing that may suggest they've purchased the Broken gimmick to get the titles off of them before a reboot.
