July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808351 It seems like Battleground is horrible every year, though. It's always the PPV that seems to draw the most ire from everyone. The first one had that 4.5 star great great great Rhodes Brothers vs Shield match where they got their job back and Dusty was in their corner, at least.
July 24, 20178 yr Author comment_5808353 Randy Orton reinventing himself as the King of gimmick matches nobody wants to see
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808354 How does this rank with the all time bad PPVs? I never ordered any of the contenders back in the day, but this feels like a real bottom of the Network era. I've seen far worse. This isn't good but something like Starcade 99 was worse by a mile. Okay how about WWE PPVs? Assuming the Main Event doesn't save things... Maybe this is the worst they have done since Royal Rumble and/or Survivor Series 2015? I'm sure it's a coincidence that Orton was in title programs for all of those.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808355 Ah, the ever so serious Cage Dropping Music. So, seriously, where does this match rank on the TNA scale of dumbest gimmick matches? This concept is much dumber then King of the Mountain, at least to me.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808356 I can't see a damn thing in the ring when they cut to the hard camera shot. What a show.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808358 I'd love Philly to start a "We can't see shit *clap clap clapclapclap* chant right now.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808359 I just never in my life thought that one day in the future I'd have to sit through Jinder Fucking Mahal PPV main events. What did I ever do to you God.

July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808362 I just never in my life thought that one day in the future I'd have to sit through Jinder Fucking Mahal PPV main events. What did I ever do to you God. You took a bite from the forbidden fruit of The Tree of the Knowledge of Ken the Box
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808363 Stupidest thing in this match. If someone escapes through one of the doors early, who cares? Just get another's door open while the 4th ref stands around with his thumb up his ass.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808364 Stupidest thing in this match. If someone escapes through one of the doors early, who cares? Just get another's door open while the 4th ref stands around with his thumb up his ass. Hahaha! It's funny because it's true.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808365 Seriously, another match were the wrestlers look stupid. Mahal is climbing the first cage? Orton should get the door opened on the other side, run out, and be waiting for him at the bottom. THINK PEOPLE
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808366 They make things that should be simple like this and the flag match needlessly complicated.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808367 Crowd doesn't care and/or can't see, as they're just amusing themselves with chants. "Trust the process" and a half-hearted "delete" were the ones I heard.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808369 I'm trying to think of a PPV main event less appealing then this one using the current roster, and I'm coming up completely empty. 2 boring wrestlers in a stupid match.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808370 They need to go back and study that classic Billy Robinson vs Dory Funk Jr. Punjabi Prison match from the 1970s. Those guys knew how to tell a good Punjabi Prison story.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808371 Surprised the fans haven't gone full Philly mode and shat all over this yet.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808372 They need to go back and study that classic Billy Robinson vs Dory Funk Jr. Punjabi Prison match from the 1970s. Those guys knew how to tell a good Punjabi Prison story. I wish I could upvote. We all could be watching Tully/Magnum right now and talking about that.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808373 My mother, who never cares about match quality, is even saying this is stupid and also called this exact finish like 15 minutes ago.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808374 Wow, that entire advantage Mahal got from escaping early sure helped him tons there.
July 24, 20178 yr comment_5808375 It seems like Battleground is horrible every year, though. It's always the PPV that seems to draw the most ire from everyone. Yep 2014 show was completely shit on which Hunter even mentioned in a promo the next night on Raw
