I feel pretty confident the men's match is not going to be a lame plunder fest.

Say what you will, this match was mostly built on Rhea promising to murder Liv and they delivered.

They did, and I know fans of the modern style will absolutely be into what that match had to offer.

Folks like Coffey, Thread Killer, and myself probably need to realize that the modern product has passed us by and we'd be better off watching either Bash '87 or Survivor Series '87 tonight.

But... and I'll speak just for myself when I say.. that part of being an old guy is watching what you've loved all of you life and pissing and moaning about how it's not as good as it used to be!

Nakamura's entrance is fire. He should win for that alone.

I hope LA Knight's angry facials during his entrance means he's "boo-boo-facing" and will lose.

He always looks like that when he does his entrance, though. One of the things I find hilarious about him, is he’s one of those guys that acts pretty much the exact same if he’s a heel or a babyface. There is literally zero personality change.

Yeah, you're right, but here's hoping anyway. LA Knight is the drizzling shits, YEAH!!!

big pop in my house for the fan with the "bengals suck" sign

He is absolutely not the drizzling shits.

I have no issue with Nakamura winning here. Knight had the title since SummerSlam, which is a good reign. Nakamura pretty much had to win if they want people to take him seriously.

I just hope they have something good planned for Knight now, like a good feud or something. He is way too popular with the fans to be shuffled down the card. Apparently he is still in the top 5 merchandise sellers in WWE.

Oh yeah, that was a pretty good finish too. The Scorpion Death Drop on the steel into the running knee to the head.

BOO BELAL MUHAMMED!

Seriously, fuck that guy.

Any chance Sheamus actually wins the I/C title finally?

Ludwig Kaiser is one of those guys who looks way older than he actually is. Like they used to joke that Arn Anderson was born looking 40 years old.

I know & you’re right but my wife wanted to watch it and I’m curious about the Bloodline match.

Also, just to add onto my misogynistic-sounding comment earlier & attempt to better explain myself: I have seen great women’s wrestling. WWE themselves currently have some really good female talent and have in the past but for whatever reason, their revisionist bullshit wants us to pretend that Trish & Lita were great & nowadays if it’s not Alexa Bliss it’s Liv Morgan… the same kind of shit. Bianca is great. Rhea is great. Iyo is great. They could have a great division but they never want that & it’s like you’re not allowed to be critical about it online when it’s not any good. Same with AEW. How long did people pretend Britt Baker was great?

 

You're not wrong but I would counter that the reason women tend to be treated more forgiving (even if it's subconsciously) is that it's barely been a a generation of women being allowed to taken seriously in mainstream pro wrestling.

What’s the general consensus or opinion regarding Kaiser? Gotta be honest, in what I have seen of him, he doesn’t show me much. Quite honestly, I would rather this was a straight up 1 on 1 match between Sheamus and Bron.

I actually am a fan of Ludwig Kaiser, but he is not needed in this match at all. I would much rather watch Bron and Sheamus beat the piss out of each other.

Also a very true and valid point. At least in the States.

Bron is scary great you guys

That was a pretty damn good match. And yeah…Breakker is really coming along. That dude is the real deal.

The crowd is fucking dead for all but the high spots, the pacing on this sucks, and whoever thought having Nia Jax go a half hour and lead the match was a good idea should probably be fired.

According to Fightful, that match was put together by TJ Wilson, Petey Williams, and Molly Holly.

What?

This should be a fairly decent match because come on…it’s Gunther…but I don’t see Priest winning this one.

Canada always seems to have interestingly shaped sporting arenas.

That football style, bad comedy, Key and Peele reminiscent introduction of the people in the main event sure made this seem like a blood feud that called for a stipulation like War Games.

They just can't not get in their own way.

I love how WWE worked the Canadian flag into the War Games logo. 

Because when you think of war, you think of…Canada.

I really hope this match gives Bronson Reed and especially Jacob Fatu a chance to shine.

Oh good, we are bringing more crap into the ring.
