Nice graphics.

House show sound and lighting definitely different from normal tv sound/lighting -- but it doesn't bother me at all.

Ric Flair and Elias echoing throughout the arena is kind of cool.

Nia Jax interrupts Elias to big boos, joined by Tamina, Alicia and Mickie.

Crowd cheering Elias telling Nia to shut her mouth. Todd Grisham calls her "Beyonce Jax".

Kind of wish RAW/SDLive were filmed this way.

Sasha/Bayley/Dana Brooke/Ember Moon have CENA NUFF of Team Nia.

Rey saying he grew up watching Eddie at Starrcade is pretty dumb...they were there at the same time...

Nakamura says he doesn't care about Starrcade, the Arcade or Rey Mysterio.

Rey attacked by Nakamura, who rips off neck brace, match has begun

Rey wearing gear that makes him look like he is wearing underwear over his tights again.

I like it. Reminds me of old NES WWE games where you could have Bret wear blue and black instead of pink and black.

Honestly, this is like 10x easier to watch than RAW. When WWE doesn't try too hard the show is much more fun. Just let them wrestle and keep the segments mostly short and fun.

Good match. Joe taps to Calve Crusher.

My overall thoughts as well. Fun show.

I couldn't listen to any of the promos, that echo was terrible so I had to fast forward. Basically was a house show. Such a shame WWE doesn't make a big deal of Starrcade

Can't. That would be making reference to WCW and how it was a big deal. I think we are lucky that we get a war games match every year, even though it is different (and better) than the original. Vince hates to make references towards the past, especially when Starrcade was such a big and successful event in WCW history

was this tonight.. ok

It looks like what happens when two people picked the same character back in the day.

Player 2 Nakamura.

It is kinda jarring, though. Same with DB wrestling in maroon forever, even before WWE, then switching colors recently. Might get used to it eventually, like Steiner's chainmail.

I am more caught off guard by Nakamura wrestling in a top than him being in blue.

I was there, and it was a ton of fun. The dark main event was Ambrose v. Rollins for the IC title also in a cage. Other untelevised matches included Charlotte v. Asuka, McIntyre v. Balor, and New Day v. The Bar. Good stuff all around.

Lol Samoa Joe tapping out again. Fuck off, WWE.

Why did they not have STINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG?
