Oh yeah this clusterfuck.

Just randomly remembered this one Shield match where one of their opponents had an injured eye, and Seth Rollins was just standing on the apron screaming "Don't forget about that eye, Ambrose! Don't forget about that eye!" over and over again.

I appreciate WWE not doing 5 hour PPV's during this no crowd era. It's smart to have matches built for Raw & Smackdown especially considering the ratings slump. I will watch the show but I am really just looking for the special fx they do in the Eye for an Eye match. If you go through the card you can say that they've at least spent time building each of the matches which feels kind of fresh. And I attribute that to not having such packed card for the PPV's.

Yeah probably because Ambrose has no ring psychology and just wanted to swivel his arms and have a steel chair pile spot.

Dang Asuka/Sasha, Rey/Seth, and New Day/Nakamaro could all be barn burners.

Asuka Sasha should be dream match material. I think there is more than a decent argument that these are the two best female workers in the world. Hope they get a chance to show it.

So 3 cinematic matches tonight, or did they bump the bar fight match from the PPV?

bar fight bumped to SD @ xrod

Nice, wonder if former ref Tim White still has that bar the APA always went to for their fights!

Based on the build and card for the show, only really interested for Asuka vs. Sasha and the Swamp Fight.

Swamp Fight's interest is mainly wanting to see how Bray's version of a cinematic match differs from the ones WWE has done.

You should add Rey vs Seth just for the curiosity of how they pull off the eye removal spot

Even with the rumored ending for the match, still haven't felt that interested in their feud nor this match.

Plus that's probably going to be the "jumping the shark" moment for WWE cinematic matches.

At least with Bray's cinematic match, any spookiness or potential corny horror moments still fits well or makes perfect sense with his gimmick.

Gotta love that the whole color scheme of the show was seemingly built around Jeff Hardy...who is not appearing on the show.

I guess I'll watch... sighing...

Trips plz never let to boards close I seriously would have some issues I can't accept any more change in my life since Corona plz thank you.

I won't.......

Thank you bro. Now back to the show. This is gonna really stupid but he undercard could bring about some good matches. I'm hopeful that MVP & that other guy have a good match. Also Jeff Hardy is awesome so we are having a HARDY PARTY.

That spooky intro video was pretty cool.

Groaned as soon as Michael Cole started talking... then groaned @ The New Day... in a bad mood... don't really want to watch...

Cheer up buddy!

What time does AEW come on guys?

Don't think I've heard of Dollar General before considering its an advertiser for this show and yet according to Google, one of their stores is apparently nearby where I live.

Do have a Family Dollar store like a block or two away from my house.

I hate tables match gimmicks. So stupid. It was only good as a gimmick for The Dudleys.

Kofi ate that table

SHIN looks skinnier

DON'T YOU DARE BE SOUR

That trust dive Kofi did was really well executed.

SHinsuke should have brought one of those Japanese tables that never break...

Michael Cole calling Kofi ornery is very boomer-y.

The last interesting thing I remember happening in WWE was that "who attacked Roman Reigns" angle where Reigns and Daniel Bryan confronted Buddy Murphy backstage and stuff... that was cool... made Murphy look cool... feel like that was like a year ago... now nothing happens ever................

That might have been one of the weaker opening WWE PPV matches in recent times but that top rope powerbomb through the tables spot was pretty great.

OK opener but powerbomb thru table was cool

Oh the Otis angle was good... other than that idk

wtf is this pumping up nikki cross stuff

strongly dislike Kevin Dunn's camera work

I hope Bayley and Sasha have all the gold at the end of the night.

They better...

They need to have all the main brand belts, and then ultimately end up feuding with each other as they both try to win the NXT title...

Since this is a horror-themed ppv wish all the people behind the flexiglass were in zombie makeup and banging on the flexiglass like zombies

That was a year ago, still not sure how it ended, just remember Daniel Bryan yelling at the guy that looked like Erik Rowan lol

Interesting Sasha took her tag title belt off and put Bayley's Smackdown title around her waist instead.

Is Michael Cole going to be on commentary all night bc that is asking a lot after I listened to Josh Matthews on Saturday

Meh ending to a pretty good SD Women's title match.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: That would have been great.

She is also wearing different gear from Bayley, usually their gear matches colors

This would make a lot more sense on Halloween... but okay.

whew, Tom and Joe

I like Byron's purple suit

Guess Apollo must have failed his recent coronavirus test or something wonky happened with his testing like with Tony Schiavone on AEW this past week.

Were there any pre-show matches?

Rey Mysterio's gear makes it look like he's wearing his underwear outside of his pants Superman style.

K.O. vs Murphy

Kevin Owens vs. Buddy Murphy.

Got announced like an hour or so before the pre-show started.

I am pretty sure you can't pull an eyeball out with pliers. That would just be an eviscerated mess.

Seriously... WTF is the end game here?

After this match we will either have Rey Mystero or Seth Rollns.

Wonder if the eye pulling spot in this match is going to have the cartoon comedic "pop" sound effect when it happens.

HEY! So that is where AEW's tag ropes went.

Reys contract has been up. You do the math

I will laugh if Dominick is brainwashed by Seth to pull his dads eye out

More interested in this match than any WWE match in months tbh... This is good so far

lol

lol wut

Seth puking, nice touch lol

Tom Phillips: "It's out"

seth barfing sold it more than anything i guess

That finish was just as stupid as I thought it would be.

Plus shouldn't the match continue since Rollins didn't actually grab the eyeball yet.

Match itself was very good before that happened.

and rey was never seen again

The fact that this didn't end with Seth curbstomping a fake eye makes me dissapointed

part of me thinks that was what was being set up and they botched it

Minus any blood on the steps of course

Was it ever explained why WWE has a fascination with champs almost always coming out first?

Like unless your name is Cena or some other top hand-picked star, WWE has been doing title match entrances backwards for way too long compared to everyone else in wrestling and boxing/MMA.

Maybe that's why they decided against the CGI dangling eyeball finish since that wouldn't have had any blood spilled either.

the network has been pissing me off all night

ridiculous "something went wrong" every like 10 minutes

Banks almost screwed up taking that German Suplex spot.

This match got sloppy as hell these last couple minutes.

What the fuck is Bayley doing :lol:

lol thats not going to stand

Looks like Banks is having issues with her weave.

:|

Whelp the finish to the RAW Women's title managed to top the Eyeball match as dumbest finish of the night.

Entering WCW 2000 era again....

if anything Auska gets dqed for misting the ref

Local

Medical

Facilitiy

When was the last time a Smackdown match mainevented a PPV?

dolph picks..the claymore is banned, im expecting

:lol: at WWE quickly trying to backtrack out of the finish of the eyeball match in case Rey actually changes his mind and signs a new deal.

Super ShowDown

Goldberg vs "The Fiend" :(

I love a good heel taking the belt without actually winning it.

....Yeah I'm out.

Going to be super awkward when Dolph also picks a "Wyatt Swamp Fight."

I recall being upset when Dolph Ziggler was the first person to score a pinfall victory over Drew McIntyre since his return to the main roster.

Rey isn't leaving lol. What's he gonna do, take Dominic to AEW and have tag matches against Billy and Austin Gunn??

A rare flub by Mike Rome.

lol extreme rules for Dolph only
