Custos Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 First time watching WWE since the pandemic outside of the odd GIF and Reigns promo. I was thoroughly entertained through pretty much the whole show. Pat McAfee and Cole are a solid team together, maybe Coles best partner since JBL or Tazz? Charlotte and Rhea won the crowd back from the Becky stuff and the serious business competitive attitude was a nice contrast to the Nikki and Alexa stuff. AJ working his magic keeping everything together with a green Omos and the crowd were way into him. Reigns really is the man right now, every gesture and expression is hitting right (talk about another contrast with Cena with his goofy frivolity later). I couldn’t believe the shape that Edge was in and he pulled his weight. Went long, I know it was probably deliberate considering the composition of the show but still didn’t need over 30 minutes. My favourite match was the men’s MITB, watching Riddle in his goofy glory again was a blast, and the ridonkulous spots and the feel-good moment at the end which I really wasn’t expecting. Low point was Boogs making two appearances when zero would have sufficed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Fun show. Both MITBs were good. Figured Nikki was winning as she had the most momentum going in. Was pulling for Riddle in the men's MITB. Tag titles match was solid. Lashley was put over excellently and is looking better than ever lately. Charlotte/Rhea was great, didn't expect the title change but loved the match. Awesome main event. Result never in doubt but I still bought Edge's last Spear near fall. And agreed 100% with @SirFozziethat the Seth backstage promo prior to completely ruined any speculation to the eventual outcome of the match. Cena's pop was an all time great, best/biggest pop in years, loved it and put the event over the top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Watched the men's MITB. KO's big bump bummed me out. I wish people would stop doing ladder matches. My mistake for bothering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a year, I'll challenge him to take his shirt off. Then I'll challenge him to take a piss test. Anyway, does he not remember how last time went? He used 7 different Attitude Adjustments and still lost, bad! I love you, but run away, now! Reigns will fuck you up and dance on your grave! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I'm pretty sure I did, but I think she would have tried to hit on him with something less crass than " F me, Roman!" ...and I'm fully aware she's saying "FU, Roman", but I'm pretty sure my mom would be trying to get on his good side, even if I didn't like him (which I do)!

NikoBaltimore Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Unless my ears are failing me it sounded like she said "We love you, Roman!" to which the kid looked at her like "Says you!" Though regardless of which one it was that's still pretty damn funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hey, for what it's worth my mom would have been too busy comparing everybody to Bruno. But that's more her being an elderly Greek woman than anything else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard tales of my mom taking shine to Greek men back in the lateish 80's, not that Roman is Greek, neither is Bruno... so yeah, akward, but, any man LOOKING like Roman, I'm pretty sure she knew what's what.

Custos Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I forgot to mention, having not seen WWE for a while, seeing that uncanny valley Roman AR monstrosity on his entrance was a bit of a surprise. Also, is there a canonical reason for Riddle’s flip flops to magically birth birds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
