The Unholy Dragon Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Man. I enjoyed AJ/Roman for what it was but they have a classic no frills match in them. The big fight atmosphere was there and the openong where Roman used his power to shut down AJ trying to go technical and AJ feeling Roman out to see what might work was amazing stuff. I was captivated. Generally loved Roman as the grumpy brutal power guy too. Tweener is a good look on him. Outside the obvious scare the first hour was terrific. KO/Sami was one I'll probably enjoy more on rewatch because of how rattled I was. IC title was the best Miz match in forever and the four way feud deal was great. Show dragged from there to the main event but nothing offensive. Super inpressed with the way Vince shut down the crowd's Punk chants and the What chants then drew out the classic boos he wanted. Damn slick work. Good show in spite of the obvious scare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iron Yuppie Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Who'd have guessed 15 years ago, watching Shane and Stephanie as the primary players in the long-awaited WWF vs. WCW angle, we'd be seeing this same shit all over again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick B. Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Friend has an extra ticket to Raw, so guess I'm going to my first WWE live event in over five years tomorrow night. With the McMahon stuff going on, at least there'll be a guaranteed piss-break segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Owens was great on commentary. Glad to see him win his match clean and hoped that was the end of that feud. Most everything else on the card seemed guaranteed for another rematch. Enjoyed Miz/Cesaro all the way and Jericho/Ambrose as well. Thought Charlotte/Natalya was pretty good until the strange finish. Cool to see Bret involved though. Also Ryback/Kalisto was awesome again on the preshow. Loved the main event, thought both Styles and Reigns looked great. That Phenomenal Forearm through the table was absolutely perfect looking execution. Knew there was no way they'd take it off Reigns again this quick but still bought a couple of the near falls towards the end, off the forearm and 450. Very glad that Gallows & Anderson didn't turn on Styles. Looking forward to the rematch, dug how they immediately set that up since the show's only 3 weeks away. Seems like that show should have a bunch of rematches from this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 For all the talk of Ryback being sloppy and nearly killing the blessed lord and savior, he saved Kalisto from a wheelchair on that middle rope flippedy dippedy doo to the outside. If Ryback hadn't run up a few feet, Kalisto was due a head-first meeting with the apron in a horrible way, and we'd have gone from "it's called high risk for a reason Maggle!" to Owen Voice one match early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I could watch Zayn v. Owens every week. My only gripe with this show was restarting Reigns/AJ twice. I think if they did it once with the countout finish it could have been okay but doing it twice took me out of the match for a sec. They still had a very good match. I just Extreme Rules will be far less fuckery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 This is how I know Ryback/Kalisto was my MOTN Meltzer called it "ok" and bitched that Ryback was out of position on Kalisto's dive One of the days I would like to watch the wrestling in his reality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I remember listening to Meltzer talk about the Raw after WM32 and how he had no idea how Sasha put Summer in the Bank Statement he said he rewound it 3 times still had no idea how it was done. It was clear as day when you watch the match how it was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Honestly surprised that anyone is praising the Women's title match, worst match of the night by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This was a good to very good show. If you took everyone with the last name McMahon out of the show it would have been fantastic. I agree with the the praise for Roman here. He looked like the bruiser he should absolutely be booked as. Also, I fucking hate JBL. I want him gone so badly I can feel it in my teeth.
