goodhelmet Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Here is the stadium, sun is behind the big screen so we have a nice breeze coming through. Post your thoughts as they happen n this thread. Three way tag match - fun non-PPV opener with some crash course spots that got the crowd into it.

Childs Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I try not to oveereact to things, but if I had been able to get a refund after that opener, I might have. Sometimes, I fucking hate WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIK Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 no matter who won the Rumble, that match is going to be, at best, the #4 or #5 match at this year's Wrestlemania Yeah I was thinking a lot about that. If it were up to me i'd have him face Bryan for the belt, storm out at the begining of Mania, challenge him to fight him in the opener saying he doesn't want to wait then beat him in like 30 secs w the brogue kick. That shit would have way more impact then having like a 8 - 12 min semi competitive match mid show like they'll probably get otherwise.

goodhelmet Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Don't know how it came across on tv but crowd did not care about the Orton match for the first five minutes. Huge Yes Yes Yes and Daniel Bryan and Bullshit chants. Orton and Kane was whatever live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 From Meltz Sheamus won the title in 18 seconds with the Brogue kick. The plan was to beat the Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero record from a few years ago, but for reality, they didn't beat it. This had been planned for a while but there were people trying to get it changed.

goodhelmet Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 How did Show-Cody come across on tv? Live, no one gave a shit. However, the heel crowd did start a loud Let's go Cody chant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Childs Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 It was a fine little match, but no, it didn't feel like anyone cared that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 The first match was incredibly frustrating and got the show off to a terrible start, but I have this small hope that we haven't seen the last of them tonight. Orton looked great in the Kane match, even if it wasn't a particularly good match. Show/Cody was awfully clumsy and didn't have much heat.

Kostka Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 They kicked out of stuff a bunch of times, layed around in between, and Michaels did some awful sad faces in the corner. DRAMA~! I bet this will be Match of the Decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostka Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 It was like an extended version of last years match, with the added bonus of bad Michaels acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Divas match -smoke break Taker vs. HHH Gotta be here live. The headbutts, the actual match before the big stretch run felt better. The false finishes were not as good as last year but there were points you could see it ending. The thing we agree on here in the stadium is with no blood and no climbing, the Cell was not needed. Enjoyed this more live than I did last year's on my couch.

Kostka Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yeah last years Taker/HHH had a tighter home stretch of nearfalls (mostly because it was more contained) and the pre-home stretch of last years was also far superior to this years. It was that fucking annoying "ZOOM IN ON THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND BACK AND FORTH DIALOGUE BECAUSE WE MAKE MOVIES~!" shit that kills the flow in a lot of forced, current day WWE "epics".

goodhelmet Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Team Johnny vs. Team Teddy - a tale of 2 matches live. No one cared about the Booker heat segment but came alive for the big spot-fu ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought John Laurinitis might order a rematch after winning this match, but I don't think that's going to happen now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
