Must watch the speech.

He seems like a great guy now compared to how everyone said he was a prick when wrestling.

i could never stand him and i’ll never get past his involvement with miss elizabeth’s death.

Dunno. I thought Gunther was great.

Gunther is great, and should be propelled into feuds with the likes of Punk, Seth, Cody et al.

But the match tonight was ordinary I thought.

I hate to be a hater but jesus, Jey Uso is an IC champ at best. He's been promoted way beyond his level here imho.

Rollins and Punk are two of the GOATs.

He more or less stated he was an awful prick in his "past life" in the speech.

 

[Nollaig O Muracu]

Bloody hell, HHHs speech went on forever. I only kept watching to see would he thank Vince.

He did.

a bit of a mixed bag there last night.

tiffi was probably due a trip to the dentist this morning. charlotte tried to carry her but definitely sandbagged or went stiff on a few spots. definite hatred there which is great but doesn’t carry over well if you’re trusting someone else with your body.

bret hart looked like he wanted to be in calgary or anywhere else than on the ramp last night i’d say it kills him to show up for the wwe.

madre mio i’m not into muscly wimmin but that jade cargill is quite the specimen naomi probably deserved the win but the story was jade’s.

as much as i like gunther i’m not completely sold on his wrestling style. he only seems to interested in putting callouses on chests.

LA knight is always good to watch. a proper wrestler who gets the crowd going.

heel new (boo) day are entertaining too.

the triple threat was ok but definitely not a classic. as much as i love punk i think he’s only a mediocre wrestler. the GTS is under appreciated as a finisher though. i could see rollins winning it from a mile out. he was full value for it. pitt they dropped “kerb” from the stomp.

there’s probably plenty more i’ve forgotten but it’ll be interesting if cena lives up to his promise tonight amd ruins wrestling for everyone.

Wrestlings classiest lady but she did tart it up during the nwo era which was a brucie bonus

Can't agree wrt Punk DukeY.

Really enjoyed the match last night too. But yeah, Seth is the business alright.

Gunther and Jey was boring I thought, but if you put Gunther in with better opponents you'll get classics.

i think with punk it’s more the persona and attitude that has him so over. don’t get me wrong, i’m a punk guy but i feel he’s lacking a bit as wrestler but he can definitely carry a match and donthe storytelling aspect of it better than well.

hard to take reigns seriously wearing a belt on his tracksuit

i kind of agree with you on gunther. i was never an uso fan but they’ve definitely improved since going singles. the non stop synchronised super kicks were too much. i guess the family name still carries a lot of wanted under the hhh era.

there’s a good chance i’ll turn the telly off tonight when i see orton’s bloated face appear on the ramp. i can’t stand him. although my sister met him at a gig in dumplin circa 2004 and said he was sound out.

she met stephanie and trips as well. said they were bang on.

A worry for tonights main event is The Rock. It's known he brings a non wwe writing team with him which has caused trouble.

Is tonight going to be a case of Rock saying you did it your way last year this year it's my turn and we may end up with a shit show.

I'm massively intrigued to know what exactly happens if Rock decides he wants some spotlight

i completely missed the rock angle with cena. i only started watching properly again the last month or so.

if true about the rock and his writing team then that’s shit. i presume the rock is a ticket selling gimmick amd has nothing much to do with cena and rhodes.

the first two hours or so last night there were a lot of empty seats in the place, especially ringside where it couldn’t escape the cameras. it’s just become too much of a moneymaking juggernaut now. two nights at four hours each is a bit much, plus the hall fame, the mega store, taker’s one dead man show, the roast after mania amd one or two other events that i can’t remember.

raw/smack down from london a few weeks back was brilliant. metal barricades, capacity crowd leaning in along the ramp, a proper old school feel to it. the arenas are just too big now. hard to get any pop from the crowd in places so big and it doesn’t lend to tv viewers.
