Eat crow Gaf Dean didn't take the pin

 

[Jopie]

Sloppy, sloppy pedigree.
Overall, good match though.

He needs lessons from Steph and Chyna on how to do it right.

 

[Recall]

That was a great PPV.

If you say so

 

[Intheflorsh]

Fun main event, glad Dean didn't take the pin.

 

[Entropia]

This PPV was the pits, friends.

It was better than I thought it would be. But I had low expectations going into it.

 

[Man God]

Vince's real son wins

Mr. Kennedy?

 

[GunBR]

Ok, that was a great match

- The shield moment
- The second table
- The friendly confrontation between Reigns and Ambrose

But i'm getting tired of Orton. They should make a different feud to Rollins until the fight against Lesnar in the Summerslam

 

[RP912]

Good match, shitty finisher.

I guess Rollins is going to steal people's finishers like he's the Repo Man.

 

[truly101]

For a Raw Supershow tier PPV, I thought it was pretty good except for Cena/Rusev, but you knew how it would end.

 

[Heroman]

They are doing fallout shows Noe?

 

[Officerrob]

So the pedigree and curb stomp are both moves where you drive the opponents face into the mat, why is only one of them banned?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I liked that match, it was decent. I think the Tag Team Match(for the most part) and this were the good ones of the night

 

[Entropia]

Will we hear FnP and Big Fight Feel on LAW Radio tonight?!?!?

 

[Kaladin]

That was a great match, but a weak as hell pedigree.

So what is next for Seth Rollins?

Despite Kane and J&J, he kind of won that match clean.

So...what now?

 

[darkside31337]

At least let him use the Phoenix Splash once in a while

 

[Man God]

Cena/Rusev was great. People can throw in the towel in I quit matches, it's one of the time tested ways to end it. Don't get why people are complaining, oh that's right, because golden boy John Cena wins and his reign of terror in the mid card continues.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I guess that's what free gets you.

 

[Data West]

the part where one is named after a hate crime probably

 

[JPeeples83]

Stardust-Truth can fuck off. Axelmania and Mandow is such a horrible team. It's like a low-budget indy doing the lowest-budget impression of Hogan and Savage. Sheamus-Dolph was good-ish at times, but really hurt by the commentary. Blood was something different though. Tag title match was a lot of fun. Ryback vs. Bray sucked. Cena vs. Rusev sucked a bit less, but wasn't good. Ditto the divas tag match. Neville-Barrett wasn't much. Main event was easily the best match on the show. Sure, Seth winning with the pedigree, and a bad one, wasn't good in theory - but it sets up the future well. They've been teasing Seth vs. HHH and it's now clear that's the plan for Summerslam.

[NastyBook]

7.5/10 I enjoyed this PPV. Weakest match was Cena/Rusev. The botches ruined it.

 

[Amory]

So the pedigree and curb stomp are both moves where you drive the opponents face into the mat, why is only one of them banned?

Because one is called the "curb stomp". They should've just changed the name and kept the move

 

[Nocturnowl]

I hope all of that wasn't the supposed payoff for the moderately long term booking of the Kane/Rollins saga, what a waste of the big red mystery.
Fun match excusing the shoddy pedigree finish.

Can't believe it's been two WWE PPVs in a row where the tag team title match stole the show for me, almost makes me make the mistake of believing the division may amount to something.

 

[Jopie]

Curb stomp looks more violent. They care about appearances, not the actual likelihood of it leading to injury.

 

[RP912]

I dunno...the pedigree looks kind of safe to me.

Damn near everyone was calling that match garbage LONG before Cena won

 

[truly101]

I really don't get it either. Curb stomp looks like an easy move to take and hard to danger botch. Maybe the whole American History X connotation? Dunno.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

The winner is always Triple H, even in matches he ain't involved in.

Greatest of all time

 

[16BitNova]

That was a great match, but a weak as hell pedigree.

Despite Kane and J&J, he kind of won that match clean.

Well the next PPV is in only 2 weeks. So it can't be something with too big of a build. It'll probably be all these guys in the elimination chamber with another 2 guys added in.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

That botched pedigree was more on Orton than Rollins from what it looked like. Didn't sell that shit at all.

 

[Officerrob]

the part where one is named after a hate crime probably

They rename moves all the damn time, why not just do that?

 

[Fox318]

So the pedigree and curb stomp are both moves where you drive the opponents face into the mat, why is only one of them banned?

Does this look like a move that would give you a concussion?

 

[Man God]

It's also one of the easiest moves to imitate and actually hurt someone. Both are good reasons to ban it.

 

[Kaladin]

No WWE World Heavyweight Title EC at this show, only IC and tag title.

Wow, yeah two weeks? That's weird..

Elimination Chamber is not a PPV

It was a house show turned into a "special" event.

 

[Amory]

Cena is hilarious

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Cena/Rusev was great. People can throw in the towel in I quit matches, it's one of the time tested ways to end it. Don't get why people are complaining, oh that's right, because golden boy John Cena wins and his reign of terror in the mid card continues.

Cena already threw in the towel prior when he was unable to even respond to the ref.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I'm oddly intrigued to see the direction fighting US champ Cena goes in next.

 

[darkside31337]

The worst part of the I Quit match is the ref constantly asking nonstop. Honestly no need to even have the ref out there. Have the actual guys hold the mic and ask. Ref can sit in the damn chair at ringside because theres technically nothing else he should be doing in the match.

 

[truly101]

It's also one of the easiest moves to imitate and actually hurt someone. Both are good reasons to ban it.

I bet thats it. Makes sense.

 

[Man God]

Cena already threw in the towel prior when he was unable to even respond to the ref.

NO. That is NOT how an I quit match can end unless you have a rudo ref.

 

[Kaladin]

That was incredibly pointless.

 

[Owzers]

Only match i liked was the last one, I was waiting for them to replay the finisher because I wanted to see if it was as poorly done as I originally thought but they were wise and didn't do so. Did anyone get a gif of that?

 

[16BitNova]

No WWE World Heavyweight Title EC at this show, only IC and tag title.

Oh, did not know that. So really it's just a WWE Network special like King of the Ring.

 

[Recall]

Cena passed out. He lost.

 

[Aeternus Malum]

Because one is called the "curb stomp". They should've just changed the name and kept the move

It was called the Blackout down in NXT but Vince decided to change it

 

[Heroman]

Cena passed out. He lost.

But did he quit?

 

[Amory]

I'm really glad Ambrose was in the title match and looked like he belongs. That dude deserves so much better than he's gotten

 

[Toki767]

Only match i liked was the last one, I was waiting for them to replay the finisher because I wanted to see if it was as poorly done as I originally thought but they were wise and didn't do so. Did anyone get a gif of that?

Rollins doesn't hook the arms high enough (or Orton is just horrible at getting his arms above his back).

It honestly looked like how HHH pedigrees Big Show.

 

[Recall]

Oh, did not know that. So really it's just a WWE Network special like King of the Ring.

Yes.

Which they said from the get go.
