I haven't busted this .gif in a while now. I think that match was deserving of it.
Then.
Now.
Forever.

He means the tinfoil kind of aluminum.
The main event was terrible, the rest was good to great. Filing the divas match under great even.
And that's where the Bryan burial attempt begins! You can hear Cena talking to Bryan and creative.
"Daniel, the only way to TRULY test whether or not you're over with these people is to see how they respond after you eat an AA and lose to me. If they still chant for you after THAT then...and ONLY then...can you have another shot at the belt 8 months later. But in those 8 months, you have to lose constantly and STILL be over. Once you have truly proven that you are over...then...AND ONLY THEN...will I CONSIDER possibly maybe passing the ball to you."
Nah, that as off the roof into some foam off set
It wasn't terrible at all. It was overall very good.
The Cena main event sucked, that was all.
Pretty much my opinion of it.
Yup. No way an ambulance should be coming apart that easily.
Guys, I'm pretty sure I got the winner for each match correct tonight, go me!

It was really good, but Dolph vs. ADR was amazing.
Look at who his fucking opponents were.
Can we all agree that Wade Barrett is actually kind of boring and did virtually NOTHING to elevate the IC title? He barely talked about it in any of his promos.
Sounds like it was a good PPV overall tonight. Lots of interesting storyline developments. Just have to accept that LOL Cena Wins will happen for a while.

Finally, you people have come around. He sucks. Always sucked. Never got better. He looks like he's got Orton's body with no muscle mass too, not to mention the dumbo years. Doesn't have the skill or 'the look.'
That would be implying that most intercontinental champions do anything to elevate the title, which I don't think is true.
Cody did before he became Arrogant Heel #32900956
What promos?
Last month's Last Man Standing Match was easily better, despite both having terrible endings.
As for the PPV, enjoyed the first half, but the second half lulled me to sleep almost.
Cody Rhodes says "hi!"
I don't care which belt you're carrying...you should be telling people about its importance, lineage, etc. while holding it, and how proud you are to hold it and defend it.
Was that really his fault though?
The mans theme even lets you know the finish.

Was he even ever on tv or given promo time through this Ic title run

Aside from Kaitlyn/AJ, the very end of Ziggler/ADR, and Shield/Orton + Bryan, the rest was putting me to sleep. Mediocre show.
I'm sure he could have pushed creative a bit to get what he deserves, if he felt he deserved it. If you don't like how they're using you, let them know. He's been around long enough now to have some say in his character's direction.

Wade Barrett is great, he's not being used correctly.
Plenty of them do. This isn't the Vince of old, he's not open to people anymore.
Anyone legitimately excited to have RVD back is stupid. That's right, STUPID.
His work in TNA has been abysmal and it'll be just as bad now that he's back for some dumb fucking "Veterans" MITB for the WWE Championship match. I expect Goldust to make his return too.
Implying the let him do ANYTHING with the title. He lost nearly every fucking match that wasn't non-title. THEN LOST A TITLE MATCH AT WRESTLEMANIA only to win it back on Raw the next night.
They booked him in a really fucked up way. Not his fault.
Why doesn't every star that's not really being used anymore demand more from their push? Drew? Ryder? Miz? Orton? Sheamus?
They had nothing for him but want to keep him in the public's eye for whatever reason.

If he were to ever do so, it probably made sense as to why he was jobbing with the thing weekly. You do as you're told, unless you're Cena of course.
Yeah, not sure how they can justify Ryback losing like this. He's actually played the role of heel really well, and he carried that one-on-one confrontation on Raw last week. Hope they have plans for him that don't involve jobbing. He's hit the Cena glass ceiling. Where does he go from here?
I don't know, I could see if you were talented enough like a Dean Ambrose or Daniel Bryan, someone would step up and say 'No, they should do this.'
That's the thing. Wade isn't. Winning or not, he's mediocre in the ring.
Unless RVD has suddenly increased his speed and agility overnight, I agree 100%. The guy has been nothing short of vanilla for a few years now. He can still pose and talk a decent game, but his in-ring work just feels slow and stale.
Kurt Angle coming back would save everything.
Kurt Angle will never come back because he's insane and doesn't know how to take care of himself.
So watching the Nakamura vs Benjamin match, they reference Benjamin being Angle's student and Shinsuke wrestling Angle WAY back when.
NJPW is better at WWE continuity than WWE is. And watching Nakamura open trading cards is more entertaining than watching a Wade Barrett match.

Let's face it, he's pretty average on the mic, and his in-ring style isn't all that memorable. Does he have "the look"? You can definitely argue that, but I don't think he has it where in counts: on the mic and in the ring. He hasn't told any interesting stories. If he was as talented as everyone claims, he would surely be able to get the crowd behind him ala Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler.
I'd like to think that RVD was on auto-pilot while in TNA because they never did anything of substance with him and the booking was almost always atrocious in anything he was involved with the entire time he was there. I'm hoping he's planning on making this WWE run his retirement tour and turns it up accordingly.
I'd have to disagree about him on the mic but I do agree about him in the ring. He's not bad but he's kind of just there. And it's getting old hearing about how every time the IC title changes hands the guy is gonna "bring back prestige to the title". It never happens.

Barrett is a LOT better than average on the mic, he's a hell of a speaker.
There are far too many guys on the roster right now for RVD to get any substantial time to actually do anything. WWE is loaded up with talent, so many guys have to suffer and only get 2-3 minutes a week.

Pretty sure Ryder mentioned they give em this email to write to. Creative never reads what they send them. Then Ryder started complaining recently on twitter and got back on RAW, to job but he got back on RAW. I doubt creative even knew who half of the lumberjacks in the main event were
Fair point. I wonder if it's more the fault of creative or Vince that so much talent is misused or underused.

Look at HHH's weird hand on Zack's back.

He's probably the last person to make Cena his bitch in the WWE. After he left, Cena just dominated everyone.
