Just saw the full Balor entrance. Wow, he really gets into it.

You'd hope it translates well to the big crowds on Raw. The NXT crowd seem to lap it up but anything weird or different can fall flat on Raw.

Balor's is surely too cool to fail though.

Bálor is money. He could be called up to RAW and not look out of depth. That's how good he is. He has an impressive physique and is in great shape. Simply put, he gets it and that's evident by his movement and mannerisms, which add to his character.

The Ambrose shoot is extremely good and interesting if anyone wants to read it.

Says the scripting of promos ruins things for him and that the shield hit people for legit and refused to lie down for Cena

I'd love a read if you'd be kind enough to share.

Or, or, or.... just swap the entire rosters and call it good.
 
The Ambrose stuff has been a 2 parter on Jerico's podcast, and is a hell of a lot less inflammatory than that makes it sound.

If you want to skip Jericho's "I'm a cool mom" intros Ambrose starts at 23 & 19 minutes respectively.
 
Woah cool title change lads! Take Over was great I have to say I was really surprised by how good Charlotte vs Sasha Banks was, those girls can wrestle! Apparently word is going around that the main roster took notice of the show and are stepping up for TLC.
 
TLC tonight, there's no way I can stay up though as I'm currently on 31 hours without any sleep, so I will watch tomorrow. It's usually a fun filler show.
 
Yeah TLC normally has some good matches, just a shame the build has been terrible for the most part.

I hope Bray vs Ambrose is the main event, could be good for both especially given its the only TLC match.
 
By the sounds of it, the TLC guys are going to put up a classic tonight. Most certainly don't want to be outdone by the NXT guys.

Ziggler is giving it large on Twitter saying that him and Harper could "make history" and have a ladder match impossible to improve upon....
 
Well that can only be a good thing if they want to top what happened on NXT.

Im expecting three good matches, the IC title ladder match, the Tables match and the TLC match. The Stairs and Chairs match just need to be decent paced brawls and ill be happy.
 
Just noticed on Sky that Smackdown is live on Tuesday, so three nights of live wrestling. Can't find Tribute to the Troops anywhere though. I'm sure that's usually shown somewhere on Sky.
 
All i ever see after PPV's is majority of you saying how rubbish it was. And yet Phelans still banging the drum that its never been better
 
- Big show buries an upcoming star in a terrible match
- Big show to face Reigns
- Ambrose gets beat by a TV
- Cena wins three times! In a 3 on one handicap match
- Meaningless US title match

Awful show..
 
What exactly was that ending to Ambrose/Wyatt. In the space of 3 hours they made half the roster look like dumb asses,
 
The ending to the Main Event was one of the worst I've ever seen and that's saying something. Awesome match completely ruined by that ridiculous decision. Wondered why he was fecking about with the monitor and expected somebody to pop up on it and debut. Instead he electrocutes himself...what the feck were they thinking when they even booked that decision? Ambrose had another brilliant performance to close the show and it's ruined by that bullshit.

Wasn't terrible, wasn't very good of a show either. Crowd was terrible and I guess they might hold off on Orton until the Rumble now.

The main complaint I've seen in here tends to be the outcomes, the actual matches tonight were pretty good all round except the god awful chair match. The chairs were the most mobile participant.

No, he ripped the wires from the TV, it exploded in his face and he got finished off by Bray.

Is it worth watching this evening then? Bastard is on the same time as MNF, IIRC.

Not exactly a cracking MNF. Show was okay, Ziggler/Harper was the MOTN. Main Event is getting mixed reviews but I liked it up until the ending. All of the other matches were middle ground, not great but not terrible. It's a show you could easily skip.

You need to see the opener, carnage of a ladder match. I enjoyed the stairs match, but shit ending to that. Main Event was going well til the TV.
 
I fell asleep at about 12.30 last night with the tv on, woke up at 5 to 4 to the sound of Bray Wyatt's theme playing. Rewinded to see the end of the match and was confused about what was supposed to have happened. Rewound again and thought 'feck this company'. Read up the results online, the highlights were the first match, and a very wooden Roman Reigns promo (he declares 'as the first Royal Rumble' wut)

LOL I'll still be watching RAW tonight, just in the hope that they do something worthwhile, and then complain tomorrow again, because

Decided to sleep rather than watch it last night. Put it on earlier, watched the ladder match and the temptation to spoil the rest just became too much for me. Read what happened. Turned it off.

At least I feel well rested.
 
Well, awesome first match, very good tag title match a load of shite, good last match, terrible ending. That pretty much sums it up I'd say.

This has been WWE's best year for PPVS for a while. The match quality on most PPVS this year has been consistent. You get at least two good/very good matches on the show and nothing terrible.

However for me personally, the quality of Raw and the way matches are built up is at an absolute all time low and it's why a lot of people will complain about the show as so much of Raw is really boring and does not get you invested into the matches or angles. I have got to the point where I just don't watch Raw.

Last night Ziggler vs Harper match and Ambrose vs Wyatt was very good and Mizdow is worth watching as he is entertaining.

That said, the PPV itself was decent. Most of them are these days. I find most RAWS really boring, predictable and lacking in anything entertaining.

He really starting bumbling.

He's never going to be good on the mic and it'll cost him in the long run.

Those acting lessons really paid off. Now he is not a broody pretty boy who cant deliver a promo, he is now a broody pretty boy who cant deliver a promo.... but can pout as well
 
Yes the commentators are terrible. The match quality is defo good but the booking is what ruins it. Its all over the top and not needed, just let them get on with it and do what they do best.

Bray vs Ambrose was fun until the ending and that was ... flat. Ambrose is losing every match hes in now and is losing to a guy that couldnt beat Jericho and got killed by Cena.
Rollins lost to Cena (with the help of two, and three people) three times in that match. I know they want Brock vs Cena (ffs again?) but how are they not seeing that the current product is translating to the lack of Network buys. Cena defo works hard but his booking is killing new talent. Rollins is now losing matches and has lost his momentum like Bray and Ambrose.

Reigns return was great until his promo. Less is more when speaking for him.

Big show winning, yawn. What was the point? Could have had him lose, be pissed off, come out to attack Cena and then been Reigned on. Instead he beats Rowan who looks like a joke now and has no momentum at all either.

Ryback vs Kane was a bore lol.

Swagger lost against to Rusev, at least Rusev has momentum. Hopefully his first loss is not to Cena (or the Rock).

The only two who came out of last night looking great were Ziggler and Harper. Harper looked good in losing, nobody else did.
