The morbid fan in me wants to see that Firefly Inferno Match.

What kind of terrible booker puts Daniel fucking Bryan on the pre-show?!

After being on the WrestleMania pre-show vs the Miz some years ago, Wade Barrett gave an interview to PowerSlam saying the boys working PPV pre-shows didn't think it was a demotion, and in fact considered it a great honour to be in the pre-show, because the company was trusting you to bring in those last-minute buys.
I hope DB, Big E, Cesaro and crew know how highly they must be regarded.
(Yes, Wade's interview was vomitous as a whole.)

Drew vs. AJ (vs. Miz) was actually an excellent, hard-hitting, intelligent match with great selling.

Best TLC match in years?

As far as Brucie goes, there's basically two ways. Either he's exactly what he has always been accused of being (before a large crowd began to buy his bullshit when the podcast got hot), a transparent yes-man who gives Vince what he wants. Either he's complete shit as a booker, as this stint demonstrates in spades. Either way, he's been totally exposed.

Here comes Mella to steal the show!!!

Great carry-job by Carmella. The second-generation veteran wrestler expertly led the Star Wars celebrity to a good match.

Sasha legit should get an award for how great she made Carmella look, and how much their match overdelivered. It is by sime distance the best Carmella has ever looked in the ring. Sasha is a special talent

WTF??? The Inferno match is the main event?!

The women's tag match was pretty good, but it's telling that they are again doing a deal where a singles champ is also a tag champ.

He's both. He's a total yes man giving Vince what he wants but he's also an absolutely terrible booker. I don't know how anyone ever bought his shit because he's not even a particularly good liar on top of being a bad booker.

How else can you have her turn on Charlotte to lose the Women's Title to her?

God, at least let Charlotte be the one to turn - she's an abysmal babyface.

Ha, never going to happen.

In fairness, the champion working tag matches to set up their partner turning on them is a longstanding McMahon family booking tradition.

Oh yeah totally and we all know Brucie doesn't have an original bone in his body.

 

Overkill. It's all overkill in WWE matches. Owens has been powerbombed through this and powerbombed through that and superpunched and speared and everything else on top. Noticed it in Dunne/O'Reilly the other night, too, not that it's anything new. None of it matters.

It's like a basketball match that ends 160-159. Yes, there's plenty going on, but only one of those points matter. 

Not that I want to speak ill of the Head of the Table, but why is my man out there looking like he's wearing the wrist support I use at work to avoid carpal tunnel?

Because he's the Head of the Table, and if the Head of the Table wears a wrist support to avoid carpal tunnel, wearing a wrist support to avoid carpal tunnel is cool. BELIEVE THAT!

I'm not saying Roman should have lost here, but it's funny how nearly all WWE storylines end with In the End, The Heroic Babyface Failed. Yet I'm sure it's still a mystery to them on why they are hemorrhaging viewers.

Especially when it's so formula. I like Kevin Owens but he's the guy you throw in there to job to the champion. It makes it impossible to invest in the story when you know he's losing from moment 1.

Speaking of which, Orton is clearly losing since he's completely covered.
