Big Dave should be the next #1 face, strike while the iron's hot.

Great PPV. All the right people won the title matches. Even Reigns/Orton wasn't as awful as I thought it was going to be.
And that Cena demolishing...

Disel vs. Bob Backlund

i may be misremembering because reigns never uses anything other than samoan but i think brock used a regular suplex at some point too?

Each champion gets their own side plates. They'll remove those tonight and put on the appropriate Lesnar ones for the new logo title.

Ambrose Rollins made a lumberjack match awesome.
How the hell that is possible I have no idea but they did it.
That feud is the best thing about the whole product right now.
Rest of the show was good to great. The bad was Orton/Reigns and somewhat Bray/Y2J only because it followed the lumberjack match. Just not a fan of Roman outside of the shield.
Cena getting squashed was weird and I have no clue what they are going to do with Brock now.

Some kneeless scrub did a pre-taped video that aired at the end of Triplemania
IWC immediately moved on from enjoying Brock Lesnar's win to bitching about Reigns beating him at WM31 because loldirtsheetz. It's a fickle group to market towards.

Also I gotta say the Lumberjack Match went better than I thought it would. Well done, WWE.

I know we talked about it before, but I still wish people lived their gimmick names.
Mean Gene Okerlund would be a colossal asshole
Kamala would be 10 feet tall, a true Ugandan Giant
King Kong Bundy would be a gorilla-style Al Bundy
Man things would be great.

Is he going to AAA too?
They had every chance the moment he hoisted Big Show over the ropes at WM30, then they made him heel and gave him Heyman.
Face Cesaro with Zeb against Brock with Heyman would be absolutely amazing. That ship has sailed though.

Well, he doesn't get me as riled as that other guy, so him I'm okay with.

So we have typical wwe booking with the Bella turn and then you give us cena getting destroyed. You're still not getting any more money out of me. I've seen this dance before but I did enjoy the pay per view.
nikki's turn made complete sense

It's going to be quite awkward for the next season of Total Divas.
Also, I have to ask: How many times did 9.99 come up in this PPV?
I'd be willing to bet the farm that they had Brock win so dominantly to get you marks to re-up for the Network at $9.99 per month to see Brock's reign of terror, and then next month Cena will get the belt back to tie Ric Flair's title wins and all you jabronis that re-upped will be like
Do you want surprises only, or do you want good storytelling? Just because you predicted something doesn't mean it was bad.

Oh definitely. I'm not falling for it.
Something historic happened tonight. Actually, two things.
1. We had a good Lumberjack match. Holy crap. Put these two in a Ladder match at Night of Champions. It could be so awesome.
2. WWE didn't make the PPV absolutely shit with lots of pointless promos and backstage segments. PPV flowed so much better than Battleground which just made me tired and sucked.

I'm really happy with this show. I've been saying the past few days that it was Summerslam and I'm quitting wrestling. I'm gonna give myself another little while til I finish work just to check the topics then I'm out.
It all went very well tonight.

I feel that Rusev deserves mad props tonight. Not only did he have a great match, his selling and reactions were on point.

Won title, kissed AJ. Had a pretty good birthday overall.

He's better than that but... yeah, pretty much that's what he is at this point.
Rusev crying during the last submission hold was awesome. Rusev is awesome. Rusev is super athlete.
Yup! Rusev and Lana combo is great.
Also, they are complete idiots if they don't have Ronda Rousey doing some kind of match at WM. Granted, there is no one in UFC capable of standing up to her currrently, let alone among the Divas, but she's clearly an eager fan, and she's a bigger star right now than anyone in WWE save Brock.
Have her twist Stephanie into a pretzel or something.

Yeah Swagger/Rusev was great.
I'm just going to go on record and say that since Hall of Pain started, every big man match the WWE has had has been decent to great.

Lol @ this caller on LAW. Who is this on GAF?
Pay-per-view was solid I felt. A lot of things in it were just necessary I felt. It wasn't a good-match spectacle like last year's by any means, but all the matches felt like must-watches even if they weren't the most technically sound.
