February 18, 20196 yr comment_5879604 I am noticing the ones who went into this expecting it to be awful think it is where as the people who were not are enjoying it. Shock.

I was bored to tears with the first half, but the second half has been decent enough. Classic? No. Great? No. But it has served its purpose. Let's see if WWE is gutsy enough to throw us a curveball and go with Mandy and Sonya.

Shock. I was expecting this to be MOTY, and it has been merely okay (the second half has been fun though). Edit: I meant MOTN, MOTN, MOTN. Jesus. Definitely not MOTY. :O
February 18, 20196 yr Author comment_5879608 This was wild, loved it! Really. Sonya and Many are legit.
February 18, 20196 yr comment_5879609 Cool finish. Would have loved Sonya and Mandy getting a rub, but just going through the entire way works.
February 18, 20196 yr comment_5879610 Credit due that was a decent match. It certainly got over as well.
February 18, 20196 yr comment_5879611 This is very much like the Royal rumble where the early part was really bad but the last half was just great and told great story. Really smart to have Sasha actually get the win since the last month or two has been Bayley doing most of the work on the team

February 18, 20196 yr Author comment_5879613 This match picked up nicely from Fabulous Glow onwards. Really wouldn't mind seeing Fire and Desire and Boss n Hug go at it on a tornado match

It will probably be given to Tamina and Nia, but that should be the Mania match.

February 18, 20196 yr comment_5879618 We need to find those two guys who were singing and dancing to Shane's music and get them to board here.
February 18, 20196 yr comment_5879619 I thought that was really good except for when The Iconics were dominating everyone with very weak looking offense and being obnoxiously loud about it. Fantastic finish with Sasha having to use her leg to lock in the crossface as her shoulder was hurt.
February 18, 20196 yr comment_5879620 So I expected the women's chamber to be okay at best, but more likely mediocre. Those expectations are undoubtedly a huge reason why I thought this match was incredible. MOTY? Slow down. But a legitimately all time great Elimination Chamber and if its not MOTN this will be an incredible show. Most importantly this was just about perfectly laid out. Every pairing and sequences had a purpose with a given individual or pairing designed to shine or get destroyed. It never felt lost, lacking purpose or killing time as matches of this length with this many participants usually do. The symmetry of opening with Sasha/Bayley vs. Mandy/Sonya and closing with the same pairing. That Bayley neckbreaker to Mandy as Sasha kicked Sonya's head off. Liv & Sonya deciding to shoot and slapping the life out of each other. Liv with a couple trademark Liv Morgan sick bumps, particularly that snatch out of the corner. The Iconics -- THE ICONICS -- who have been nothing since coming up outside of perhaps a promo or two that prompted a grin -- being put in position to futilely try and capitalize on a ring full of corpses before getting a brief shine with double teams that while hardly flawless looked strong and most importantly well placed and perfectly opportunistic given everything that led to that brief run. Nia & Tamina actually being presented and working as monster heels -- SAMOAN SLAUGHTERHOUSE -- what a name -- and just wrecking everyone upon entering in the way that monster heels should before they're eventually overcome was incredibly well done. They killed everyone in sight until Nia took a sick bump into the pod to set up Tamina's gang elimination. I can't highlight it enough but the flow of this match as each team entered and was eventually eliminated -- which despite the ring filling up never felt rushed -- was pitch perfect. The timing was on point and I wouldn't change a thing. When Nia & Tamina were eliminated before the finish I thought they were getting too cute for their own good, but that not only gave us the same final pairing we started with, but also a callback to last year's women's chamber where Sasha turned on Bayley and a finish playing off of Sasha's early arm injury. Stiffness, slaps, bumps, psychoogy, callbacks, choice use of near falls and a fun, emotional post-match interview. I don't know what else they could've done here but I loved it the entire way. ****1/4
February 18, 20196 yr comment_5879622 Shane is starting to hit that "Old Guy doing absurdly crazy shit" appeal ala Terry Funk. He is obviously not in that class, but just a thought.
