That was an outstanding match and an all-time bad finish.
-
15 minute entrances and build up package For sure. But the trend in the Network era seems to be that PPVs finish closer to the hour than not, though Battleground was definitely an exception.

Ton of time left here. Curious what smoke and mirrors they break out.

So this is pretty damn cool -- https://twitter.com/SamoaJoe/status/635629114171486208

what. the. fuck.

Really odd that Rollins isn't going after the face nor the announcers even talking about it. I get they don't want to do anything too risky there, but given how hard it was pushed in the build you'd expect some kind of nod to it. Cena even acknowledged it when throwing punches by protecting his face, but the announcers refused to touch it.

Big E dancing + Seth Rollins in the home whites = terrific summerslam.
-
I have no idea who Stephen Amell is or what Green Arrow is, but he acquitted himself incredibly well for a celeb / first timer. Not remotely embarrassing. Odd decision to have him play Ricky Morton, but he looked good.

Big E just locked up this year's Flair/Thesz award.

Nope looks like there's no pre-show match.

Interesting. I've had zero buffering issues on the preshow. But couldn't go about 90 seconds on Armageddon '05 earlier without buffering.

I hope people would feel the same way, but I'd be shocked. I think part of what people enjoy about the NXT women's matches is just how different it is. Yes, they're women, which is different from basically every match of consequence we're accustomed to domestically. Its also completely different from how women's matches have been presented for years, so what we get here feels incredibly fresh and unique. My point is its not solely because they're women and we've got a bunch of feminists here, but that it doesn't look at all like what we're used to seeing in good wrestling matches. You get a match like Lesnar-Reigns at Mania this year where there was legit and not insignificant blood -- this added immensely to the match because its been years since it was used that way. Back when blood was a regular thing it simply wouldn't add the same intensity and lock you in because you were seeing it regularly. Give us something we haven't seen that hasn't been desensitized, and if you present it decently it will get over. Variety is huge. Give us a solid 15 minute divas match on TV every week and pretty soon the standards will change to reflect that.

Everything he just said. It was a good match with a really great payoff and post-match. But there are better matches most weeks.

If he came to my house, this announcer would be marking out and calling my corn on the cob "POP-CORN!"

There is no such thing as two main events. Its great to push things on an equal footing and attempt to portray them that way. But only one match is the main event. I say that watching the main event, thinking its having a tough time matching up to the emotion of the women's match. But there is only a main event.

Definitely, I just told the wife to cut it out. She had no idea what was going on.
-
Yeah, you wonder what they're there for given the booking. Pretty clear Banks is head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. Would love to see her get a few showcase matches on PPVs.

Man, to think Hilary just needs to campaign at NXT shows. She'd have it all wrapped up.
-
C'mon buddy.

Really fun match. Cemented Sasha as spectacular. Only problem is 23 in the Divas division is about 35 on the main roster. Hopefully they give her a chance to put on a few classics.
