Raziel Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 That was a fucking solid show of wrestling, especially the Main. Even if the booking of the show had a bit of Attitude. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Bryan vs. Owens vs. Ali had the hard task of getting the crowd back on their side with the crowd wanting Kofi. Reminded me of the crowd sitting on the 2014 Royal Rumble match when Bryan wasn't the 30th entrant and the 2015 Royal Rumble when he was eliminated early.

Niners Fan in CT Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 give Ali, Bryan and Owens a TON of credit. They were in an impossible spot tonight and were nearly hijacked. They turned that crowd around and put on a great fucking match. Ali is a special babyface... I hope he continues this run. That Shield match was way better than I was expecting. It's amazing what can happen and how the crowd reacts when they book babyfaces like fuckin killers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) For a nothing show I thought this turned out really good. A small thing but I dug the little production detail of the Corbin/Lashley/Drew promo being produced like the early days Shield promos Edited March 11, 2019 by For Great Justice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Great wrestling, weird booking. Mustafa Ali took a hostile crowd and made them like him, it was like he took the making Smackdown cards care about 205 Live matches and upped the ante. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Hero Morganti Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 That was some good wrestling and some interesting overbooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Moose Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Becky getting in to the triple threat as a consequence of Ronda punching her in the stomach (after Charlotte dummied her for most of the match) feels underwhelming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Hero Morganti Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Oh yeah. That 450 on the apron was fucking nutz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 It's weird, the WWE multi-person match formula has gotten really stale and yet the Raw tag titles, US title, and world title matches were really good. Re-doing the plot of Wrestlemania 30 with Kofi in Bryan's role has been bugging me, but it worked out for the better tonight as the World Title match was better for the substitution. Rest of the show was just kind of there. The women's tag match was especially brutal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that is basically Ronnie wants Becky no matter what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 450 on the apron was fucking nutz It's a running joke that Ali takes at least 1 crazy bump every match. Between the Dropkick to Nowhere, the lariat, the 450, the Powerbomb, and them that fucking knee, he outdid himself tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 If putting Ali in that spot was some kind of interesting test of his ability to be an upper card baby face that dude passed with flying colors. Not many guys on the roster pull off what he did. Has to bode well for his future 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowanole Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I’ll be honest, I rarely watch the WWE and tuned in sporadically tonight, but enjoyed the WWE, U.S. and tag title matches. I didn’t realize there were more matches after the title match (was watching without the sound), so can’t speak with on the last two. Was pleasantly surprised by what I saw though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Charlotte on her way to another 100% clean victory before another cheap ass finish goes the other way. Tapping out to Asuka, stealing a Rumble spot, and a gifted DQ earns a Mania main event. They really are out to Screw the Woo. Ronda's "i'm not following their act anymore" came to shoot with a nice little touch. Sucked. Though the absolute highlight was Charlotte's hilarious hopping to mock Becky in the opening circling. Can't believe they turned the beloved Shane O Mac. I know it's been rumored for some time but still didn't want to see it. I always loved Shane O as the always super over babyface authority figure/part timer. But I'll probably end up enjoying this new killer badass BJJ expert version Shane O, choking people unconscious with triangles. Prior to that, the match was really good, with the mid-air coast to coast collision being an awesome looking spot. the main event ended up a lot of fun as a Shield greatest hits for their One Last Ride. US title match was good again if a bit short. Womens tags match was sloppy awful. Everything else pretty bland and generic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful is right. When Nia's in a match, I hope nobody gets injured. Edited March 11, 2019 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought when the match started was "wow, they are gonna kill two guys dead for this Kofi angle" but yeah that match was SO good that the fans couldn't help but appreciate it. Just like Kofi took the ball when Ali got hurt, Ali got his one chance in a World title match and made the absolute most of it. I will say that this whole "no DQs in a three-way" is fucking stupid. Why wasn't Rowan in the ring the whole time? Attacking your opponents is legal, why did he spend most of the match not taking advantage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
