Posted December 17, 20177 yr comment_5824388 Is this the least interesting, least hyped card they've put together in a while? Pre-Show: Mojo Rawley vs Zack Ryder Breezango vs Bludgeon Brothers Lumberjack Match: Natalya vs Charlotte © Usos © vs Rusev/English vs Gable/Benjamin vs New Dat Baron Corbin © vs Dolph Ziggler vs Bobby Roode AJ Styles © vs Jinder Mahal Nakamura/Orton vs Sami Zayn/KO w/ Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan as guest referees.
December 17, 20177 yr comment_5824390 The only thing I am interested in seeing is if Bryan turns heel. I’ll probably just watch the main event in the morning.
December 17, 20177 yr comment_5824392 Is this the least interesting, least hyped card they've put together in a while? We say that every other show and it usually turns out good. The only thing that looks outright bad is the three-way, and Nattie-Charlotte will probably be boring, but the rest looks promising.
December 17, 20177 yr comment_5824393 The card doesn't do much for me, but over the last year the low expectation cards have tended to overdeliver.
December 17, 20177 yr comment_5824394 I've got incredibly low expectations, which usually leads to a pleasant surprise. But this is one hell of a tough lineup.
December 17, 20177 yr comment_5824396 Imagine what the buy rate for this would have been in the PPV era

Usually on-paper bad cards turn out to be good, but we never know. Hyped for heel Mojo

December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824412 With Bryan involved I expect the main event will have tons of heat if nothing else. I think there is a good chance no one turns tonight and they stretch this out
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824413 I'm doing a live blog over at SC: http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2017/12/wwe-clash-of-champions-2017-live-blog.html Pre-show match was fun, as they typically are.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824416 I was hoping they wouldn’t do the old predictable “steal the pin” finish in that match and would just move on from Corbin as US champ. Ziggler is what he is but maybe it can freshen up that title at least a little.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824418 Corbin vs. Roode vs. Ziggler - This dramatically over-delivered after a slow start. Big spots that were well chained together and captured the crowd. I even appreciated their wrinkle on the steal the pin trope they often rely on. Really fun opener. ***1/4
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824419 Well I was wrong about the three-way, as that was actually pretty good. The crowd was definitely into it and it didn't overstay its welcome. And the finish was clever.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824421 I think it is impossible to freshen up Ziggler at this point. Damn good match though So wait both refs are going to be in the ring at the same time? So I guess now we can see a double pin?
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824423 Btw, has anyone had a more strange year booking wise than Corbin? Constantly comes up short against Ambrose at the beginning of the year, wins mitb, then is completely buried while losing his cash in, then wins .US title only to lose it to a guy who never wins and has been around forever
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824424 Between 3 hours of dealing with Saxton and the Steelers game about an hour ago, Corey Graves might punch someone tonight Okay I am confused does this look like two separate matches going on at the same time?
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824428 I think it is impossible to freshen up Ziggler at this point. For sure. I meant just fresher matches around that belt.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824429 Yeah, those looked pretty reckless, namely the one on Rusev and the one on Aiden.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824431 The tag title match fell short of expectations as much as the US Title exceeded them. Bad chaos throughout before a fun finish.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824432 The 3 way was far better than it had any chance of being. I thought it was a lock Roode was going to go over after the slingshot into the post. The 4 way was forgettable until the finish which was nuts namely due to Gable dumping Rusev, Aiden and Big E on their heads with those Chaos Theories.
December 18, 20177 yr comment_5824435 Haven't been watching Smackdown recently - are there really two face women and seven heels?
