July Wrasslin |OT| The Game, The Kane, The Pain, and The Insane (AJ)

Bryan just fell twice as far with way more momentum to deliver that Tiger Knee, yet Sheamus rolling two feet onto the "concrete" is supposed to be the big deal.

Cynicism aside, Sheamus and Bryan work well together. Shame they didn't get to do it at Wrestlemania.

Bryan/Sheamus always work together really well. It's a shame they fucked up the rivalry the same way they did Orton/Christian by making it completely one sided.

Do we really have to have every match have a commercial break right in the middle of it?

They work well because Bryan is usually the one in charge of the match.

I feel like they used to do these type of matches all the time back in the day

Back in the day it was more hardcore matches so you'd end up seeing way too many props. This is just two guys trying to beat the crap out of each other with their hands and feet.

Not really. Good, not great.

Bryan with a high knee in the ring, Sheamus with a devasting-looking back breaker, then a painful-looking drop on the ramp, Bryan getting his head pushed into the WWE sign, then kicking Sheamus off the ramp with a wicked drop kick, and then a flying knee to Sheamus' face...GREAT stuff, especially for a TV match.

Can street fights end in DQ if someone runs in? Hope we don't see that.

If you miss a leg drop, you are suddenly hurt despite the fact that your ass would have hit the ground the same way whether you hit it or not. Same with dropkicks.

It's wrestling logic, you'll have to suspend your disbelief.
 
It is a LITTLE sad that the only way to keep a woman prominent in WWE and not be tied to a man is to be GM. You can't just be a wrestler.

Well with how ridiculous the Diva's title looks it's a bit hard to take the "top" female wrestler of the company seriously. And even if you could, you're only as great as your enemies and while there are a handful of Divas like Beth and Natty who can be worthy opponents, you need a bigger and better women's division to really make the champion and the chasers mean something.

So if the women can't use/aren't allowed enough time to use wrestling to be good characters then might as well be managers like Vickie or the GM.

Man, these kind of matches are usually reserved for PPVs and with good reason, the guys must be banged up as shit after them.
