Here are a few notes heading into tonight's PPV

Joining you lads as I'm ordering the show and I haven't left my bed do to a crushing hangover

So yeah, excited. Hoping the Wyatt family/faction debuts tonight

Cena wins.

Lookng forward to what Punk/Jericho has to offer.

The Shield matches should be really good. Someone needs to turn heel.

The IC title match should be entertaining.

If the Wyatt family shows up, I will mark out.

Frank Drebin reporting live from The Allstate Arena. We have new cm punk shirts tonight a la money in the bank with the date on the back. Something biiiig, children......

Massive cm punk chants. Rousing boo for cena on the tron.

It seems so bizarre that there is a title on the line in that Ziggler-ADR match. I know the last month has been no one's fault but Dolph Zigger is SO far from seeming like a champion right now. He was getting no push leading into winning the title, continued to lose matches after and then was just not on TV for a few weeks because of the concussion. There's a ridiculous lack of heat behind the match and his reign. Kinda want Del Rio to take the title as he's at least been put over over more throughout the past few months.

Also... Spoiler: Shield wins :roll:

Trying to think of a good place for The Wyatt Family to show up that would feel random. A simple live promo would be just fine with me.

I love Big Show's presence. He's so likable and charismatic. He should have one more good "Big friendly giant" run. He plays that gimmick better than anyone ever.

Are those "Let's go Sandow" chants?

Oh, this is gonna be a fun crowd. lol

If anyone has a good stream going, I have very good rep points for you.

Undecided on whether or not to watch. Haven't watched anything for weeks so don't really know what's going down, assume I could probably guess everything pretty accurately though. Football finishes in 10 mins so would be good timing to switch over while I've got my laptop hooked up to my tv. None of the matches really seem all that interesting to me though.

A commercial??

lol. I want a gif of Shemus' facial expression just now.

Pretty great pre-show match.

Cody looks like something out of Anchorman with that mustache and suit.

Well, it's the Beard Show.

Full beard on Show makes him look younger, potentially more arousing

Yeah, word.

I want something major to happen with this Punk-Jericho thing but I'm not feeling it's gonna happen.

Here we go

I would mark out so hard if CM Punk came out to his old Killswitch Engage song

I'm really pulling for a Christian return at the end of the match.

Jericho turning heel and joining Heyman, turning Punk face before he goes away again until a rematch at SummerSlam would be awesome.

Will rep for stream.

Same here

check reps

Pretty sure I've avoided all Cena/Ryback segments like the plague

Miz getting the Haas pop

King doesn't remember when there has been this much anticipation for one night.

Death really did effect his brain.

stream please gents. Positive rep your way :D

Winner by countout and new Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel :shifty:

I really hope Punk stays away from the spanish announce table, just don't try tonight.

check rep

Every stream I find is in Russian.

Stream find you!

I repped you the one that I'm using.

you are a god amongst men.

I really don't wanna see Curtis Axel as IC Champion because he sucks. But he's got Paul Heyman as his manager and that automatically gives him more credibility than Barrett has had through this reign. I'm torn.

Rooting for The Miz.

HAH!

Axel needs a different hairdo. I don't think he has enough hair and too much hair gel to pull this look off.

So I'm playing Transformers Legends on my phone ATM - who won Sheamus/Sandow?

lol "skullet"

Haha. Paul Heyman has a skullet.

Sheamus

His hair looks fucking greasy all of the time. And with the beard it just doesn't mesh well.

Pretty impressed by Axel so far

lol huge pop for the Perfect Plex

Perfect-plex, fucking sweet.

If you would have told me 10 years ago that I was going to go on twitter to talk about how Ric Flair passed off the Figure Four to some ass hat from The Real World I'd say "What the hell is twitter?"

Nice little match so far

Axel has all of the wrestling ability in the world, just none of the charisma.

It's not so much that I find Axel the be bad in the ring or anything. It's just the fact that they've done nothing to say that this is a new guy from the one who was jobbing to guys like Zach Ryder and one of the Usos just a few weeks ago. I'm sick of guys winning titles and THEN trying to gain credibility. It's retarded.

Haha damn

No shit!

oh wow. Sweet finish. Never seen anything like that before

I was nervous Barrett was going to tap.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!?!?

Awesome finish :lol:

Would that not be a double pin for Miz and Axel?

wow lol what?!

Well let's not spend all our hyperbole in one place. lol

Anyone else think that Miz (with his hair growing out) now looks like Shawn from Boy Meets World?

I really enjoyed that finish.

Yes. Yes it should have been. lol

Looking at the replay, it seems Miz broke the Figure Four at 2, trying to stop Axel. So, Miz wasn't involved in the pin.

He won that match clean, in a totally opportunistic fashion, but clean no matter how you look at it.

He's a good, if not great, wrestler.

Didn't we just do all of this with Mark Henry like 2 months ago?

Crowd is not impressed by Vince trying to make a match for RAW tomorrow, lol.

Time for AJ's crowning as Diva's Champ.

#KaitlynsTits

Kaitlyn's theme sounds like an old video game.

WWE Payback: Night Of Champions

Entrance ramp seems really short tonight.

Wonder if they didn't sell out All-State Arena.

Missed the opener, who won the IC match?

I... I can't say it.

Curtis Axel

Curtis Axel pinned Wade Barrett when he was locked in The Miz's figure four leg lock.

man up #1-wwf-fan... I did

Curtis

Axel pinned Barrett while Miz had Wade in the Figure Four.

Big E. Big E. Big E. can't you see

Much like Eddie Guerrero did at WrestleMania 22, Curt Hennig has won a title despite no longer being alive.

I love the scattered/faint Blackhawks chants

Kiss her!

lol. "What's the matter, Kaitlyn!? You thought Big E loved you!?!?"

I love that Kaitlyn being crushed that Big E Langston didn't wanna fuck her is a thing.

This match is making me realize I'm out of beer.

...did Kaitlyn just do the PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUNCE...PERIOD?

AJ's ass exposed

This Chicago crowd is into a Diva's match.

The two best divas... Yes!

is Kaitlyn going to get DQ'd?

I was thinking that earlier.

wow what a spear.

Thought Kaitlyn was going to kiss AJ for a second.

GODDAMN! What a spear!
