WWE Super Showdown
 

A little early. Should be a great show. Discuss.

No thank you

More than 2 hours before start time. Not official.

Good Night Lock Jaw Nation

WWE should have followed Becky's advice and junked the boring official poster for the Stone Cold Becky approved one instead.

I'll watch the start live since I'm still awake

Looking at pics on Twitter, set seems 'small' for a big show and the floor seats appear to be plastic lawn chairs

Lots of blank space on the floor....I'm guessing it will look 'fantastic' on tv though

Six beers down and I all set for Soooooooooooooooooooooper Showdown.

This half empty bottle of JD isn't going to finish itself. Have never associated the MCG with anything but cricket. This is going to be fun.

Here we go

So none of the RAW titles are on the line with the exception of the Cruiserweight Championship.

PYRO!!!

pyro

Wow! Look at the turn out. This is mental.

The Bar vs New Day opening the show

I love the minimalistic set :heart: Glad to see The Bar in the limelight again.

I'm not a fan of the set so far

Looks like the RAW commentary team is calling the show.

Lazy stereotypes at the ready Michael Cole

Vegemite and Pancakes? Come on, Renee :lol:

Considering that it's a cricket stadium, I am throughly surprised with the seating arrangement and lighting scheme.

Cricket officials are anal about the wicket.

crowd is 30x more lively than Saudi Arabia crowd was

I guess it is safe to assume that the Aussie crowd is a bit of a "smart crowd" as compared to the Saudis.

Fun fact: Bret Hart approves of Cesaro's version of the Sharpshooter.

New Day wins clean in a decent opener

Hope the fans can keep up this level of enthusiasm for the entire night

Smackdown tag title match was good.

Smackdown's premier championship program is second to the opener. Come on!

Let's go Becky!

Becky Balboa Baby! :love:

Still acclimating to Charlotte's surgery work.

I'd assume its because WWE originally wanted a 100k crowd for this event and since they had to reconfigure for 50k-60k, they went with more of a Saudi design for the floor.

You don't want to ruin the field.

"Let's go Becky" chant

Ouch at Charlotte landing on her head on the floor.
