[Maluco]

Amazing match, so good to watch

[Tom Guycott]

congrats on 5000 posts Tom Guycott

you are a welcome presence here on the forums

I wasn't even looking. I would have tried to say something profound.

[James Steele]

Round 3 at SummerSlam

[Tom Guycott]

Yep. Do it again. Full heel.

[Volare]

YES APRON POWERBOMB!

[Mr Burns]

Cena needed the win back............

[Kris P Lettus]

Fuck yeah

Heel for life

[Emperor Smeat]

Amazing match overall. Would have been a mega moment if Owens won again.

[Poit]

Oh snap.

I'm referring to Cena's back, of course.

[Volare]

Good fucking shit Owens!!

[Maluco]

Possibly biggest active heel in the company after two matches?

[Dark One]

Honestly. That's better than Owens winning twice in a row. More interesting.

[Droford]

Don't ever laugh again, k thx

[#1-norm-fan]

Possibly biggest active heel in the company after two matches?

I don't think there's any doubt about it.

[Heisenberg]

JBL talking like Cena is dead and shit

[Volare]

wtf random woman in the crowd lol.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: that laugh

Owens snapping at the end was nice. Should be interesting if Cena takes any time off since that's how the apron powerbomb has been sold. Cena takes a week or more off keeps the move as being really devastating while if he shows up normal tomorrow would hurt its image.

[RawRocks]

i hate Owens laugh

[Lock Jaw]

Stream died a bit.... did Owens throw the US title on Cena's corpse?

[Tom Guycott]

Don't ever laugh again, k thx

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised- after seeing that moonsault and the maniacal laughter- Owens starts wearing a singlet with question marks all over it, and his entrance music changes to a ripoff of "The Zoo"

[James Steele]

Now Cena can screw him out of the NXT Title and then we have the biggest U.S. Title match since Magnum TA vs Tully Blanchard at Starrcade 85 at SummerSlam.

[Heisenberg]

Bethesda just started their Twitch stream for E3

[GD]

The first thing that I saw was Owens getting pinned :(

[#1-norm-fan]

Honestly. That's better than Owens winning twice in a row. More interesting.

I'm torn. On one hand, the "one guy wins one, other guy with the next, rubber match follows" formula is way overused nowadays and it just makes everyone look equal. Plus there's more drama in a match when one man seems unbeatable.

But this is a situation between two guys who really SHOULD look equal so it works. It's actually served to make both guys look above and beyond the rest of the roster. The matches have made it seem like they're the only two guys who can beat each other at the moment. Just hope they don't fuck it up by having them start losing to anyone and everyone and losing to a rollup in an 8 minute match on Raw and shit.

[Heisenberg]

damn, that was awesome. Mad respect to Dusty Rhodes

[Volare]

PTP Better win this damn match!!

I like PTP too

should be a good match

[Poit]

What the hell is the ring apron doing?

[RawRocks]

And now for the concession stand match

[Maluco]

Big E is a big, muscular, agile, charismatic guy. Only 29 too. I think he is capable of more in the future.

[Heisenberg]

ppl leaving this match to rock a piss and buy a shirt. When I go to these events I try not to pee unless Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus were wrestling

[Dark One]

POOOOOOOOUUUUUNCE

[#1-norm-fan]

Holy shit. Didn't see that coming.

PTP!!!

[RawRocks]

PTP TAG CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Droford]

Huh..ok

[Maluco]

Titus O'Neil is the new tag team champions!!

[Lock Jaw]

Lackluster title change.... Needed more drama.... should have lost tonight and won it at Summerslam or something....

[Poit]

So, did a single announcer say the name of Titus's finisher?

[Lock Jaw]

I miss The Usos.....

[Lock Jaw]

I miss Cesaro and Tyson Kidd.....

[RawRocks]

this.
I miss Cesaro and Tyson Kidd.....

[Lock Jaw]

Renee looking great tonight.... she seems to really like that "The Condor" Pendant thing.... wears it all the time...

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: PTP won.

[Tom Guycott]

I don't mind Corey Graves on commentary.

However, I don't like his "persona" on NXT as of late where its like everything is annoying to him. Everything. Everything the other announcers say, the matches... its like "then why are you even watching?"

[Droford]

I miss The Usos.....

I think it's interesting that Jey Uso gets hurt and instead of trying out a singles push for Jimmy they just leave em both out. Tag team 4 life

[Lock Jaw]

Another match for Bray Wyatt to lose

[Dark One]

Five weeks until the next PPV? Will Creative survive?

[Droford]

5 weeks will seem like an eternity although there is that Japan special in 3

[Dark One]

I think it's interesting that Jey Uso gets hurt and instead of trying out a singles push for Jimmy they just leave em both out. Tag team 4 life

They've already got one singles Samoan guy.

Don't want people to get confused.

[Lock Jaw]

Five weeks until the next PPV? Will Creative survive?

First three weeks will be filler

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Glad PTP won, didn't see it coming. MILLIONS OF DOLLAS</font>

I wonder if Brock will show up to close out the ppv...

<font color=goldenrod>The Elimination Chamber main event ending makes less and less sense the more I think about it.

I just got a boner.

Trying to figure out if Sheamus will cash in or not, adding Lesnar to the equation just makes it a clusterfuck

[Tom Guycott]

Black and Mox take eachother out. Sheamus saunters in, cashes in, and leisurely climbs up the ladder to win without laying a hand on either guy.

[Droford]

Black and Mox take eachother out. o'shaunessy saunters in, cashes in, and leisurely climbs up the ladder to win without laying a hand on either guy.

Fixed so it sorta Sounds like a Florida championship wrestling main event

[Droford]

Lol let me try a suicide dive on a guy holding a ladder..

[RawRocks]

want more heat on Rollins.. get Justin Bieber in his corner

[Droford]

Seems like the belts hanging lower than the briefcase

[Dark One]

Ah yes, JBL, I too remember Dusty Rhodes hitting the bionic elbow off of the top of a twelve foot ladder.

[Droford]

Impromptu LC match

[Emperor Smeat]

Return of the "who raised it" type moment being possible?

[James Steele]

Holy shit, ring psychology in a ladder match?!?! Rollins really is like HHH.

[Tom Guycott]

"You gonna climb with one leg?!" is the new "Ask him!"

[Droford]

Thought for a sec Rollins was gonna pull a table out

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This hasn't been a bad match at all, but the crowd seems dead. Cena/Owens pretty much burned them out even after the cooldown tag match.</font>

[Dark One]

Can't wait for the next Network-special/PPV: "Owens / Cena 3: Plus some other matches that you should stick around and watch, please. PLEASE."

[Lock Jaw]

Crowd totally dead for this match....

[Tom Guycott]

Fixed so it sorta Sounds like a Florida championship wrestling main event

I started to call him O'Shaunessey for that, too. But decided it was too much typing.:shifty:

[#1-norm-fan]

This does not feel like a world title match at all.

The non-title match featuring the US Champion however, did...

[Droford]

I wonder if Ambrose will try to use a tv monitor this time

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Sheamus could hypothetically do exactly what Rollins did. Cash-in mid-match, Brogue Kick both guys, and grab the belt.</font>

[Dark One]

Crowd totally dead for this match....

Bad card structuring.

They already had a ladder match with more people doing crazier spots. They already had a Wrestlemania-caliber non-gimmick match with big moves. This match isn't doing anything that they haven't already done. Now that there's some extra plunder, we'll see.

You put this on Battleground, I think it does better because it's not suffering from the "another ladder match?" problem.

[GD]

Did he just hit him in the head with the chair?

[Droford]

<font color=goldenrod>Sheamus could hypothetically do exactly what Rollins did. Cash-in mid-match, Brogue Kick both guys, and grab the belt.</font>

I thought that was guaranteed if Reigns won. Not sure with Sheamus.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Suffice to say this crowd reaction is coming nowhere near the 98% rating I got for this match in my EWR game.</font>

[GD]

Sheamus wins and The Shield reunites?

[Droford]

This is really nothing like the mitb match. It's basically been a no dq match with ladders

[GD]

I am enjoying this match.

[Volare]

SHEAMUS SHOULD CASH IN RIGHT NOW!

[Dark One]

I can't wait for the spot where Ambrose gets kicked/knocked back like eight times in a row before finally hitting the jawbreaker lariat.

[Droford]

These two run off...Sheamus cashes in..lol

[RawRocks]

If Sheamus doesnt cash in he's stupid

[Dark One]

This is really nothing like the mitb match. It's basically been a no dq match with ladders

That's correct, and it's smart because it should help alleviate the "another ladder match" problem, but it's not working out as well because they just got done watching Cena/Owens, which is pretty much as good of a not-high-spot match as you're going to see.

Now that they're spilling out into the crowd and beyond the ringside area, the crowd's getting more into it, because it's different enough from the other two matches.

I also love Seth's brilliant strategy of dragging the dude that can barely walk as far away from the ring as possible and trying to get up the ladder before he can get back.

[Volare]

Holy Shit is right!

[Ruien]

I don't see Reigns getting his first title win off some gimmick like the Money in the Bank contract. Hes going to get it at a big stage 1 on 1 with a huge build up.

[RawRocks]

Holy shit

[Droford]

The ladder is broken in half

[Ruien]

Really don't see why everyone though Reigns was going to win the match. They are going to let him lose a ton before letting him get the big win because the fans are retarded and want to hate on the product even when its golden.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fucking OW</font>

The more time they spend laid out far away from the ring, the more I fear hearing Sheamus's music.

Rollins are Ambrose are amazing together.

[Droford]

Oh shit man

[Dark One]

Oh shit. Did Ambrose just hit the back of his head on the monitor?

Holy shit at those running power bombs.

[Dark One]

Welp. Dean Ambrose is dead.

[Emperor Smeat]

Feels like this match is going to have a really bad anti-climatic ending with the way its going.

[GD]

Dean Ambrose is doing the "Shawn Michaels: My back is hurt" pose.

[#1-norm-fan]

They've gotten way more relaxed about ending PPVs closer to the hour since the Network came along.

[Dark One]

Feels like this match is going to have a really bad anti-climatic ending with the way its going.

Pretty sure the ending is "Dean Ambrose has been powerbombed to death, so Seth Rollins takes a leisurely stroll up to his title."

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Sheamus is gonna look like a huge idiot if he doesn't cash in after this (or during it) lol</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Cole sounds bored as shit right now. lol

Oh.

Stupid ending again imo. Had to play the music quick because otherwise you wouldn't know.

[Lock Jaw]

What an f'n match.... Ambrose looked like a million bucks...

[Dark One]

I thoroughly enjoyed this match. I don't know about you guys.

I thought it was pretty good once it got going. They struck a good a balance between making Rollins look like a murder machine and still keeping him as a slimy opportunist.

[Dark One]

And that was a good Dusty finish. It was a different finish than the usual ladder match shenanigans and made both men look like equals--except Dean Ambrose is also a terminator.

[Emperor Smeat]

Match was decent overall. Had some brutal spots and got better near the end.

Rollins came soo close to pulling a classic Owen White moment had he tripped on that ladder on the way back.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol PPV ends with a promo.

[Maluco]

The more they show it, the worse it looks, still holding it as they hit and it is swiped out of ambrose hand after the fact.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Was so waiting for Lesnar's theme there</font>

[Dark One]

Welp. Seth. I hope you're hungry, because you're about to have those words suplexed back into your god damned mouth.

[Lock Jaw]

Ambrose really should have won right there.... bonafide new star if he did, and then continued to fight The Authority as The Rebel Lunatic Who Won't Die

Still can't get over Sheamus winning MitB.... He is obviously going to fail his cash in, right? I just can't see him winning the title anytime soon.

[slik]

I thought whoever grabbed the belt first won the match, not whose feet his the floor first. Oh well.

Good match and Good ppv.

[Lock Jaw]

It has nothing to do with whose feet hit the floor, it is about who is left as the only guy holding it. In cases where two people have a hold of the thing.

[#1-norm-fan]

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The actual MITB ladder match felt kinda boring really. A couple of decent spots but not filled with all of the HOLY SHIT moments that I've become accustomed to with the matches. Was sorta like that last year too, though. Could just be that they've run out of innovative spots. 10 years is a long run for that sort of match.</font>

[Evil Vito]

Ambrose really should have won right there.... bonafide new star if he did, and then continued to fight The Authority as The Rebel Lunatic Who Won't Die

<font color=goldenrod>Even though I'm happy Rollins actually got a win on his own to back up his shit-talking, I tend to agree. Ambrose might never get a chance to win the belt now with Lesnar's return soon seeming to be a foregone conclusion.</font>

[Tom Guycott]

Tyrion on a dragon.

It may look that way, until his brother turns heel by knocking him out with his prosthetic hand, and allows Hornswoggle to get the win. This leads to a WeeLC match.

Also, rewatching Cena/Owens:

Owens stealing the five moves of doom instead of just a single move is probably my favorite sequence of the year so far.

[James Steele]

Ambrose is going to be the next big thing in wrestling when they give him the ball.

[Lock Jaw]

[Dark One]

Dude is probably dead after delivering sixteen powerbombs.

[Mr. Pierre]

Might sound random but I really hope New Day feuds with Orton. Fresh match-up that moves New Day to the next level. Could get some great moments out of the "anger issues" vs "power of positivity" angle

[Dark One]

Not as dead as the dude that took the sixteen powerbombs, though.

Here's a GIF of Dean Ambrose after the match:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I don't remember seeing that finish ever in a ladder match. Really hard to be innovative in gimmick matches that have been done to death. Kudos to Seth and Dean for pulling it off (and of course down.)

Just caught the special event after watching most of the NBA game cause I got home at like 10 from work.

Really loved the Dusty Finish in a match dedicated to Dusty by Paige. The final line of her promo brought tears to my eye. Didn't think she had a shot to win the title until the end of her promo so it worked on her having a shot, but nope.

New Day loses the tag team titles on the same day they get screwed out of MITB? New Day Rocks...New Day Rocks...New Day Rocks :(

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Apron Powerbomb was awesome but what was Cena doing walking after it? Come the fuck on. Sell it. Kevin Owens sounded like Fat Albert when he was laughing.

[Corkscrewed]

Man, those Rollins powerbombs are ridiculous. I'm stunned Ambrose is alive after those. But I'm glad Rollins finally got a mean streak rather than look like a pussy again.

[James Steele]

Rollins' run reminds me so much of HHHs early period in the main event. Chicken shit corporate heel that starts showing a badass side. Ambrose is being treated very similar to Mankind in late 98/early 99. Both will be huge stars for years to come and Dean Ambrose is going to headline WrestleMania 33 if I was a betting man. Ambrose is getting super over and has been doing it naturally and "the hard way" for awhile now and those are the main eventers who have staying power for years because of the emotional connection with the fans. Ambrose finally winning the title will be a huge fucking deal.

[James Steele]

I want HHH vs Ambrose at SummerSlam.

[#1-norm-fan]

They really need to keep Owens looking like he's on another level. They've got a good thing going right now where it seems like Cena and Owens are the only two guys in the company capable of beating each other. They should have Owens lose the NXT title in a ladder match when brawling with Cena allows his opponent to grab the title or something. Keep him looking practically unstoppable heading into a US Title match.

[erickman]

I thought whoever grabbed the belt first won the match, not whose feet his the floor first. Oh well.

Good match and Good ppv.
