Shit theme.

 

[Jimmy King]

ambrose on that bray wyatt trajectory

 

[Data West]

Oh my god it's Borden Stevens

 

[Dinokill]

I wanted to see blood, tables broken, fighting in backstage area, thump thacks and shattered glasses!!! To tame for a street fight!

 

[The Silver]

Like how am I supposed to buy Ambrose as the iron man and looking super strong in defeat when it was over that fast?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This is not going well.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Sure, Nakamura had an amazing match.

But let's not act like NXT is accolades better than WWE. Bayley and Asuka wasn't great and had a weak ending, just like Finn and Joe.

How was the ending of Bayley/Asuka weak? Finn and Joe has issues due to the stoppages, but if he had to win I'll take a Finn only wins it on a fluke over him beating Joe clean.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Did snoop just wake up?


Goldberg needs to be inducted

 

[Kusagari]

WWE seems like they want to make Ambrose the 2016 version of Foley but he just ends up looking like a loser every time instead of Foley who took a billion shots like a psychopath and kept getting up.

 

[truly101]

They're just trying to get through the night haha

Pretty much, they had nothing going into this and are just trying to avoid a trainwreck.

EDIT: I've also decided that Dean Ambrose reminds me a lot of Danny Rayburn from Bloodline.

 

[Violence Jack]

God, this Sting theme is awful.

 

[Jabo]

Thought they were gonna drop Sting from above :/

 

[Gumbie]

Thought Sting was gonna come down from rafters for a min. That would have been badass lol.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

IS THAT A PICTURE OF STANG, MAGGLE?!

 

[Angry Grimace]

He got multiple close counts on Brock the beast.
He got pinned after an F5 on steel chairs.
He came off looking stronger than most of have fought Brock

No he didn't really. He looked like a big loser who just got 3 times as much time as when Kofi was getting squashed. The worst part was they made it so Brock didn't even use his own weapons like he didn't need to do shit to dispose of Ambrose. That was a burial.

 

[slightconfuse]

Pay Jimmy hart

 

[Intheflorsh]

The match was an excuse to fill the card and use Brock, you're kidding yourself if you ever thought it would amount to anything else.

It would have been nice if they tried though.

 

[shanafan]

3 out of 5 matches at nxt had bad ending.

Thank you.

I was really letdown with the Finn and Joe finish, but maybe Joe's eye injury had something to do with it?

And Bayley/Asuka was weak.

 

[Kurt Angle]

Goldberg needs to be inducted

for what?

injuring people?

 

[friskykillface]

GOLDBERG VS BROCK 2017

GOD VS GOD

He's too gassed for that, from the speech last night.

 

[KazenY2J]

Time for Divas to steal the show.

 

[justjim89]

They could have done a lot better by Ambrose even in a loss. That match could have stole the show, but it just felt so safe. A night of befuddling disappointment so far.

 

[Jimmy King]

NXT proves time and time again that not every match needs to be great, or even the show overall, just that it has to feel like it MEANs something

 

[Haribi]

This is my first time watching Wrestling since like 10 years ago. Crazy nostalgia seeing Sting there as he was my favorite Wrestler as a kid

 

[VoxPop]

Who is the worse HOF induction? Snoop Dogg or Michael Hayes?

 

[Diablos54]

MOTN coming up please save Wrestlemania!

 

[DMczaf]

Womens Championship Time

 

[serenewarfare]

Time for the women.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

for what?

Guy is a legend.

 

[Tom Nook]

God, this Sting theme is awful.

I know was hope they would use the wcw one.

 

[TimeEffect]

There should have been blood. Ambrose failed to look like an "Ironman"

Both Cena and Reigns survived Lesnar better. It was such a disservice to Ambrose's character

 

[Data West]

for what?

injuring people?

I hear it gets you a world title reign in the WWE

 

[Morfeo]

Sting got so completely buried in WWE, makes me sad thinking about what could have been.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Joe and Balor was more hardcore than Lesnar/Ambrose and that was a no gimmick match.

 

[KingBroly]

Wow, I guess the Women's Match is next.

 

[Killing_Joke]

Lesnar/Punk was dope. This is all on Dean and Brock having shitty chemistry. It also helped that Lesnar didn't have his shitty suplex gimmmick at the time.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Battle Royal is going 2nd last before HIAC ain't it?

 

[OnPoint]

I don't even like Ambrose. But it was stupid for them to bury him.

 

[BassForever]

This wrestlemania has been awful

 

[Nocturnowl]

I've enjoyed all the matches so far to various degrees. Tag match is probably the weakest.

But then again I also don't think AJ was forever buried, so what do I know?

I'm sitting here wondering if everyone forgot about the stretch of horror that was WM27-29.
So far this reminds me of 31 in that the build up was pretty dreadful but they've done well enough so far with what they've got.

Though Ambrose/Lesnar could've gone 5 more minutes, the end result was a foregone conclusion though. If Ambrose kicked out of the F5 onto the chairs we'd then be met with a bunch of devaluing finisher posts.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Not all. Just a small vocal minority that likes their product in a box.

"In a box" is exactly how I would describe WWE's product for years.

 

[Jopie]

How was the ending of Baylet/Asuka weak? Finn and Joe has issues due to the stoppages, but if he had to win I'll take a Finn only wins it on a fluke over him beating Joe clean.

The abruptness of the Asuka match ending turned some people off. I thought it was great and adds to Asuka's character. Any match can end in a flash.

I thought it was weak because the ref just called it. When happened to the days of checking the arm 3 times?

 

[CATDAFELIX]

Sasha time <3

 

[Zombegoast]

Anyone remember the hardcore title exchange in X8? Street Fight my ass.

 

[Sanjuro]

Real talk?

The HoF was really great overall last night.

Outside of the Warrior Award...

 

[ODDI]

Well done WWE now that's a proper belt for the women.

 

[Leeroy3101]

Nice belt.
