Bray & Shane don't have to wear Smackdown shirts? Ambrose comes out after Ambrose? Please let AJ & Roman save this match.

You know what? Maybe this will end at 10:30. That wouldn't be bad. Yeah, I'm not buying it either.

Purple ropes officially mean you can safely change the channel. And probably should.

Time management here will really be something to see.

I'd go higher because the finish with Usos & Sheamus/Cesaro was pretty fun and removed much of the bad taste the first 8 eliminations established. But yeah, almost everything until then was pretty pointless.

Usos & Sheamus/Cesaro single-handedly saving this match. Because well never see them paired together again after tonight.

Yes. Right after they were responsible for the only minutes of this match that rose above bad.

That'd make a lot more sense.

I really don't get the shirts. Its not as though they expect Raw & Smackdown to all of a sudden move merchandise numbers, so why homogenize everyone in such fashion?

It should not go unmentioned how these tshirts make everyone look like a jobber.

My irrational optimism about this show is proving to be quite unwarranted thus far. Miz/Zayn was a solid, ***1/2 affair worked around the leg, but these elimination matches are not exactly delivering to this point.

Nice to see American Alpha batting cleanup in Smackdown's intros.

That 10 count nonsense is a crowd into itself. Get over yourself. 20k people really having fun must shit on it. Some things play well on TV. Others play well live. Yet others work in both settings. Is this really such a horribly confusing concept? But hey, you're having fun and want to come ask folks here to validate it. So sure, let's do that.

Certainly felt like a finish designed to continue things.

That 10 count nonsense is a crowd into itself. Get over yourself.

Terrible and pointless. Its great when a crowd adds to a show, and they paid for their tickets so have at it. But no one is watching to see what kind of show the crowd will put on.

Well that was very disappointing. At first I thought they might give it time when it was down to 2 on 2. Then again when Lynch was down 2 to 1. But no.

Did she not get the memo she can remove it, or is there a reason she has to keep it on?

Women have vastly superior entrance music. Just blows the men away.

These brand unis are terrible.

I'm quite confident saying absolutely nothing at Survivor Series can even approach what Gargano/Ciampa and The Revival did last night. That being said, I'm irrationally excited for the show and interested in just about every match. Depending on how they lay things out, both men's & women's singles survivor matches have a lot of potential, and while Goldberg/Lesnar could go in any direction I'm optimistic it'll be fun as long as they don't run longer than 12 or so minutes. Also incredibly curious just how much time they dedicates to entrances tonight. Anyone want to time them for each match and see how long they run? If everyone gets their own music and walk, tonight could be epic.

Fuck. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Just terrible.

Because other than the same sing-a-long entrance, they bring nothing to the table on the main roster. They're both pretty bad in-ring. Cass is as generic as they come: both in looks, wrestling & on the microphone. Enzo would be a better manager/mouthpiece and, like you said, they never won the NXT tag titles. They had more they could have done with them in NXT. And NXT could use them. Pretty much. They're over because of the entrance routine and Enzo on the mic. Once that wraps up they really can't do much at this point to get themselves or any opponents over, although they did a nice job with Cass in the title match after Balor went down, but you can't exactly use those gimmicks every night with him. Could develop them a lot more in NXT right now.

I think that "honor" goes to Takeover London. For depth I think London blows this show out of the water. Loved both women's matches on that show and bonus points for being so different, whereas tonight's was average at best. Take your pick on main events but neither was anything particularly memorable.

LOL. Oh. Canada. Potential MOTY, but other than that easily the worst Takeover ever.
