LMAO at the flipping shit over
Cena spent the whole match pretty easily handling all three guys. The whole Family looked like bumbling idiots. This was just a few shows removed from when Cena pretty easily had a 3 on 1 handicap match. Bray came off looking significantly weaker and dumber than he did at WM, even though he won this match. And then that stupid kid thing had fans laughing. It was a terribly paced and laid out match. There was zero logic for the angle or a cage match in general. Bray came out looking like he could hang with Cean at WM. He came off tonight looking like a joke who was still getting his ass kicked even with both of his dudes constantly interfering and only won because the Cenation left Cena legit shook.

Cost less. When the table spots are used, they lose a monitor from the 80's not much is lost.
At this I figure it'd be more expensive since who the he'll actually still makes those
You have to stop buying into the Batista won't job to Bryan thing. That was total dirt sheet fabrication. Dude tapped to Bryan at WM and lost clean tonight.

I'm pretty sure they could find a way to use a modern monitor while not breaking it in a table spot.

Tradition I'd imagine. Think shots with more modern equipment would look less painful and yet be more dangerous.

I don't know, I was just bullshitting. I have no fucking idea why Vince continues to use CRT monitors.
Right. They have no heels in place that can take a loss and keep on keeping on. They have 11 undercard heels that are almost not good enough to be squashed by the Shield, they don't have one single heel (other than the absent Bork Laser) who looks dangerous enough to create an interesting story unless they turn some of their top faces, who they also doesn't have very much at the moment, there's Sheamus, they can and try to turn the Shield again, they can try to rebuild Orton into a threat like they tried to rebuild Kane in two weeks.
They don't just have anyone. They would have to debut Devitt tomorrow and make him win the WWE title in hisdebut a la Paige to pop a credible heel out of nowhere.

This press conference stuff is growing on me. Don't want to see it after Raw, but kind of gets the wrestlers a chance to practice speaking and drives him the plots. Something different, worth a try.
I bet it's an internal joke of theirs by this point. How much can Reigns contribute just by being handsome.
A lot because, damn, this man is handsome

Does Bray even count as heel anymore? They acknowledge that the fans love him and cheer for him, they even play it up at this point with the chants and him acknowledging them.
Honestly I just hope Bray - Cena is over with soon. I really don't get where they are going with this after tonight, they aren't trying to make Bray look good and its not doing anything for Cena either.

They use that type of monitor for a few reasons:
Likely send the feed out from somewhere far away, so tried and true methods are best
Extremely durable. They're not breaking when they're used as weapons/thrown around. They're the gooood shit

Amazing LOL
Fine, but that raises another point. He's looked too weak to make Bryan look good, at this stage. Kane looks stronger than him.
And my point still stands.

Only if Bateaster's supposed to look stronger than Bryan. He's doing a hell of a job putting him over, and he has 1.5 years left to help build up talent. Good Guy Bats.

I didn't think the ppv was that bad. Definitely didn't live up to ER standards but it was decent. The main problem like everyone said was the pacing. The cage match/main event felt way too long. Cena is WCW Hogan. I don't care what anyone says. Just because he isn't a backstage asshole doesn't make a difference to me. I don't know if it's Cena, Vince, specific writer, or a combination of them all. Fuck all of them. At least he's out of the title/main event picture.
And Kane...Love you man but it's time to go. He's slowly reaching Big Show status. Slow as fuckkk. Bryan had to be in slow motion the whole match which hurts him. The forklift/fire table spot was cool though. Pretty much saved the match from being a complete dud.
For now. Ugh.

Kane is Kane. He's almost like an element. But most people don't give a shit about the periodic table of elements. That Kane is the only semi-valid guy they have for Bryan says a lot about how poor of a job they've done in building up top heels. For the past 2-3 years, they've had great heels in the mid card/upper mid card that get really over only to either get fed to Cena or just stop getting pushed.

The pre-show match was...memorable in several ways, few of them good. God bless 3MB for taking crazy bumps in it though. Show wasn't doing much for me until Evolution-Shield. That was iffy at the start, but really got going when they did crowd brawling. Roman was "made" here kicking out of the Pedigree and scoring the win. Cena-Wyatt was a fucking clown shoe. Fight scenes in Married With Children were easier to suspend your disbelief for. All the voice modulator stuff was goofy, but entertaining. Main event was largely dreadful. I didn't expect a flaming table spot, but...it really didn't make the match any better. It was really so fast that it didn't have time to mean much.

Probably because they're cheaper and more durable than led monitors. Costs tend to stack up for props, especially when 250 pound men fall on them week after week.

Good PPV
I enjoyed - to some extent - every match on the card except Cena/Wyatt, and I couldn't be more happy that Kane's closer to 97/98 era kane then he has been in a long, long time - that's when he was at his best, and it means much more when a face gets a victory over him. I think I saw someone say a few pages ago that this was better then any of the bryan/orton stuff last year, and I agree - even with only a couple of weeks of build, there was more intensity here then the orton program ever delivered.
Evo/Shield was great, Paige/Snuka was ok but suffered from zero build-up, the triple threat was fun but marred by the fact that the commentators weren't even informed that it was an elimination match. Barret & Rusev are where they need to be, though their matches were short and kinda dead.
I'm not going to go into how bad Cena/Wyatt was. Not surprised at the booking though, once again protecting Cena is more important to McMahon then building future stars. The kid thing seems stupid for now, but we'll see(should have been called little jimmy though).

The press conference was hilarious especially Paul Heyman one. Big E's was like wtf moment.
Helps that he's only 26 lol.
Overall I enjoyed the ppv. A couple of dull matches but it was fun.

That's the great thing about Bray. He is young and already superb at what he does. Long as WWE doesn't fuck him up somehow he has a bright future ahead

They fucked him up tonight. Him and his crew look like complete clowns.
The audience laughed at him.

Cena is the only one that doesn't break kayfabe about himself, if you think about it.
Take Kane for example: he needs not one, THREE tombstone piledrivers to get barely pinned by the Undertaker, and ends up losing years later to a frog splash by a 170lbs midget. Most wrestlers change their health bar depending on their push, including Triple H. Cena? Either he's injured or there's no way you defeat him clean.
Can you see Cena putting Warrior over like Hogan did? I don't think so.
