Outside of that shitty shitty handicap match, I've been enjoying the show so far. Nothing crazy, but enjoyable.

Regardless of the quality of this match, I gotta give credit to SD for building a hilariously cheesy and kind of cut throat story with these two. The sit down promos have been poo, but the backstage assaults etc have been a ton of fun.

I'm glad they're giving the women something to do beyond championship stuff.

I give literally 0 craps about both Nikki and Nattie so this match is a total dud for me right from the jump.

There's literally no team that can beat AA right now on the roster, it's ridiculous. I'll say it.

Ambrose/Styles need to team up for WM and take the belts from these dudes. Fuck whatever Shane/bullshit matches they were gonna do or hell do double duty.

Nah they need to get GoD form NJPW
 
I'm not sure if this is actually a bad show, it's more like a slightly extended Smackdown episode, problem is the brand can barely sustain a solo PPV with its small roster, especially when all the main talent is in one big match.
If nothing else it's good that every match sans the tag match actually has build up.

Always worth remembering that SD also lost one of what was supposed to be its bigger players with Del Rio leaving and of course the criminal lack of Kane booking.

AA have got it all except opponents that can hang with them really. Although i guess the other tag teams don't really get a look in.

Here comes nikki bella with her stiff as fuck forearms

I love how they allow them to say bitch, but then censor it in promos. They've been doing that for a while. Like, is it an allowed word or not? Because if it is, then working around it in promos is kind of dumb.

promos get reused in lots of different shows that air around the world at different times. can't be saying bitch at 9am in Canada
 
The Mickie vs Becky match should've been closer to the main event, only decent thing so far. The problem with the Tag Teams is that no one ever believed Alpha was going to lose, is the Asuka paradigma they have down at NXT or the stupid Charlotte PPV winning streak, it sucks the tension out of everything.

And the Dolph thing, jesus, I'm still shocked by the fact someone thought that whole thing was a-ok in this day and age. That shit was not about just wrestling.

The Dolph thing is the only thing on the show that has been outright terrible. Everything else has been fine to pretty good. The tag match was technically really good, irrelevant of if the outcome was in doubt (and this thread alone shows that there were people believing they would lose). That makes an okay show to me. Not a terrible one.
