[Gorillaz]

I would say it is fun if you look at it in a "nothing tonight is actually 'canon'" type of way. Still it's a little jarring

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Are you calling me a turd, JR? Really? Really? God forbid I'm sick of Cena winning every Last Man Standing Match in the stupidest way possible.

It was an amazing win though.

 

[Phatmac]

I say we wait until tomorrow's raw before calling it filler. Hopefully this ppv ended the big feuds that were happening.

 

[Data West]

A new Nation of Domination can not work with the modern WWE creative. What you would want is something like this. What you would get is something like this.

 

[Gorillaz]

I joke about wanting a new NoD but I don't think they can pull if off.

Alicia Fox would definitely and should be apart of it if they did it.

 

[Ithil]

I'd fully support that. Black folk in WWE have been getting it rougher than usual in the past couple of months. Have any black wrestlers besides Fox won a match in the last 2 months?

Sasha Banks won a match on NXT a few weeks ago.

 

[Serpentine]

alright consensus based on like 5 posts seems to be that it was a decent show that progressed nothing. SIGH fuck it

 

[serenewarfare]

But that's wrestling. Wrestling is not movies. Wrestling's existence is to get you to tune in to Raw, to get you to buy the next PPV. It is why people say the product sucks or the product is awesome. Why people say WWE rules or WWE sucks. They don't say Payback rules or Payback sucked in the general sense. These are long-term characters and the entire booking of WWE is to want you to keep watching. I mean, 'What's gonna happen on Raw?' or 'See you on Nitro' is the go-to closing statement for a reason.

I agree, but you are judging things that haven't happened yet. Almost all of tonight's matches were good both technically and in terms of telling the story they were going for. Right now, that's the known. That's what we can judge. Judging the unknown is unfair because it leads to assumptions of things that may never even happen. Like I said, just because we don't know where a story is going doesn't mean there isn't a direction in place.

'Whether you like em or hate em, you gotta respect John Cena.'
'But fuck fans who don't like our show.'

 

[funkystudent]

Since both will probably be in the MITB match this Bray/Cena still will probably drag on a little longer but I do hope this is the end of the feud for the most part.


What a crappy feud. I guess Cena will move onto Cesaro next or is it time for Rusev to be jobbed out and turned into a comedy character?

 

[cr_blah_blah]

I'd fully support that. Black folk in WWE have been getting it rougher than usual in the past couple of months. Have any black wrestlers besides Fox won a match in the last 2 months?

Was R-Truth winning during his crazy R-Truth, pre-lil jimmy days? Do you think Vince is like the white guy on set of Chappelle Show that Dave cancelled the show of because he was laughing too hard at the racist jokes?

 

[FallingEdge]

watch Shaemus vs Cesaro and Cena vs Wyatt.

Cena vs Wyatt was a fun brawl with a predictable ending. Lots of great spots.

 

[El Pescado]

It was an amazing win though.

I'm not sure if you're serious...

It was a great match, but I'd rather Bray just didn't get up from the AA than John dropping a giant suitcase on him. =_=

'Whether you like em or hate em, you gotta respect John Cena.'
'But fuck fans who don't like our show.'

I don't even hate Cena. I don't care when he wins, I get it. I understand. I just hate when his matches have ridiculous endings involving Duct Tape or Chair Avalanches or no selling DDTs on concrete.

 

[strobogo]

AA off of something onto/into something has to stop. That's the lamest and easiest finish he can have for his big gimmick matches and he does it in all of them.

 

[slightconfuse]

TNA never did wolves vs bad influence . Wow seemed like a slam dunk

 

[serenewarfare]

Next time I want him to do a Five Knuckle Shuffle off the Tron.

To be fair, I really enjoyed the AA through the Ambulance to Ryback last year.

 

[MC Safety]

I'm pretty sure it was a one-off thing. Something for Kane to do because he wasn't on the show otherwise.

They could have used that bit to do something with Bo Dallas.

I kept waiting for Dallas to pin Kofi after his beating and have this overblown victory celebration. That would have been great.

 

[toddhunter]

And hasn't Ryback kicked on since then.

I kept waiting for Dallas to pin Kofi after his beating and have this overblown victory celebration. That would have been great.

Me too. Then he could have cut his little promo and it would have been perfect.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I like when people bring up TNA. It's cute

It's his Burning Hammer tho

 

[bean breath]

just got home from work. Should i even bother watching Payback? I already know that Cenawonlol because the newly installed WWE app sent me a push notification telling me, and that Brie quit.

I hope you have some type of password protection on your phone. Can you imagine getting one of those notifications while your away from your phone only for someone nearby to pick it up and check it?

What the heck, Dr. Shelby was best man at Daniel Bryan's wedding?

 

[DMczaf]

Tonight's the night, guys! Cena is going to do the biggest AA yet!

Welcome to the club, Bray.

 

[Serpentine]

I thought of it happening at a party and promptly turned off push notifications for it

 

[gurudyne]

I thought the promos were enough. Started making it clearer that Bo's supposed to be a delusional heel.

 

[strobogo]

They should fast track Bo to Cena. But as a tag team partner. Bo will be oblivious that the fans hate both of them. Cena will recognize it. Eventually, Cena will get cheered for not being as lame and oblivious.

I can't wait for the Cena promos of, 'can't you tell they don't like you, Bo? They go on the internet and complain about you!' pause for laughter, turn to the hard camera and wink. John executes an explosive burn on the IWC yet again.

 

[Gorillaz]

I would love bo v cena just so I can see how much of the 4th wall can be shattered

 

[MC Safety]

I thought the idea that Bo was not only delusional but disingenuous.

 

[PInk Tape]

Just got home from the arena and let me say that even though most of the matches on the card were repeats, I thought the PPV itself was good. The only matches I disliked was the Rusev/Big E one but that one was gonna be squash anyway so whatever and the Bo/ Kofi one because I would of loved to see Bo actually wrestle.

Spoiler

If anyone was curious the Hawks lost in OT. So much for that chant guys.

Spoiler

Also, there were some pretty spot on Mankind/Cactus Jack/ Dude Love and Shield cosplayers at the arena as well.

 

[Caspel]

Not a bad PPV. Rusev is starting to gain my attention. Time for him to chase the US title. Shield match surprised me. I'm eagerly awaiting a split of the team to give each guy opportunity to grow in different directions.

Also, more Bo please.

 

[Data West]

Lana shouldn't cut promos in English. She's very bad at them. Not saying she's good at Russian promos, it's just that no one knows what she's saying so it doesn't sound so forced.

 

[serenewarfare]

I thought the idea that Bo was not only delusional but disingenuous.

He was never really shown to be disingenuous in NXT. Only delusional. After he lost his last match he kind of turned on the crowd, but not in a "I was faking it all along" sort of way.

 

[Man God]

I still stand by that Big E is the best rope runner in the history of wrestling. He should seriously open a school.

 

[MC Safety]

Ah, well. His Wikipedia entry suggests otherwise.

I just thought it would have been neat for Dallas to go nuts after pinning an unconscious Kingston. And then on Raw he could have spoken about his great triumph, not making mention of Kane at all.

Was the crowd not into The Shield/Evolution match? Came off that way on TV.

He's going to really hurt someone with that spear to the outside

 

[GQman2121]

Why didn't Wyatt just tee off on Cena with the chair? He hits him in the gut twice and then puts the chair down. Stupid gimmick match was stupid.

 

[Macho Madness]

 

[Jimmy King]

Same old shit.

 

[serenewarfare]

Umaga took those steps like a champ.

 

[Man God]

UMAGA! Slaps chest. UMAGA!

EDIT: If you watch both of them the Umaga throw has a bit of a wobble while last night's throw was a perfect missile.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Welcome to the club, Bray.

Takin' Out the Trash.

TOT.

 

[PInk Tape]

Was the crowd not into The Shield/Evolution match? Came off that way on TV.

I would say so. It only got loud when the crazy stuff started happening. Me and another young woman were trying to wake up the crowd but no dice.

I was also shocked at the little to no reaction Cesaro got as well.

 

[DiscoJon]

Just got home from BBQing with some friends and watching the Blackhawks lose.

How was the PPV, I mean "Special Event?"

 

[DMczaf]

I will be right back. Gimme 3 minutes.







Maybe even 4.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Man, Stephanie McMahon is looking amazing at 37 with two kids.
