All I've seen is AJ vs Brock and I enjoyed it a ton. I loved the use of the leg not as an end unto itself but as a means to open up to AJ's totally credible other offense. An equalizer. I wish it had gone a few more minutes, but I get that they're rehabbing the F5 and I think, at this point, it's absolutely worked. Next time Brock hits it, I think match is over. They used the suplexes far more smartly and sparingly than in any other Brock match for a couple of years. And the "escape" from the calf crusher was the best thing I've seen in WWE since the Sasha escape a couple of years ago. I really liked that match.

 

Great points about the suplexes and F-5. The former were touched on to establish Brock's control but hardly overblown or used as a crutch, while the F-5 is back to being a KILLER move.

 

Wow and people actually wanted to see Jinder vs Brock after that?

 

good thing for Brock he doesn't have to wrestle until Royal Rumble and hell he might not even wrestle then

 

Not trolling, but did anyone, anywhere express a desire to see Jinder vs. Brock?

 

 

Well apparently the WWE until they came to their senses about two weeks ago

Did Saxton seriously say that Raw was the longest-running television show in history?

Thought that was Graves, but tough to tell in these recaps. Sounds better than when they have all the necessary caveats, but still laughable, of course.

#tbt when I thought Shane would never sport entertain again following the van daminator-into-spear-into-concussion at least year’s SS

Of course La Nariz is the only one with a custom t-shirt

 

 

edit: Didn't count on Lime Green John

All of this talent in the ring right now. And Bobby Roode

 

Man Kurt is taped up badly.

Guys...if there’s any haters of this show out there, I’d like you to repeat these two words over and over ‘No Ziggler...No Ziggler...No Ziggler’

I clocked it as 13:17 from the first note of Angle's music until the opening bell. They're definitely working fast tonight.

Shane has his goofy baseball jersey. And if I had a body like Cena's, you bet your ass I wouldn't be wearing a t-shirt. Hell, I'd never wear one, except to maybe a funeral, if I liked the person.

"The Wife of Stephanie McMahon", there is no way that wasn't intentional

HHH looks like if Bobby Roode was left under a heat lamp overnight

Roode lives longer than Shinsuke!

Roode lives longer than Shinsuke!

 

Not much longer.

Well I guess this is a no DQ match since Roode and Nakamura helped with Braun

 

Oh god I thought Joe was going to kill him

There is absolutely no good reason this match should run past 11. Which means they'll undoubtedly come up with a few terrible ones to do so.

Now I wonder if they've toned down the Germans from Brock because of Angle.

Every time Angle takes a bump I get legit scared.

Jeez, bring back Cena so that *Angle* can get the rub of eliminating him? Now that is frustrating.

Now I wonder if they've toned down the Germans from Brock because of Angle.

 

Based on the landing that AJ took on those Germans there was nothing toned down on them

 

So is Shane really going to play the role of Asuka in this match

Wow was not expecting Cena to get eliminated so quickly.

Can't imagine them booking the 5-on-5 in a less compelling fashion. All the guys I don't care about are still in it.

Was Strowman officially counted out? Missed that.

The elimination order has destroyed this match.

 

 

There's interference n°1.

Super Shane single handedly fighting off two fresh guys even after taking that Balor kick.
