goodhelmet Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Rey, Sin Cara, Clay, Kidd, Slater vs. PTP, Puerto Ricans & Tensai - Man, fun trainwreck leading to Brodus planting Tensai on his face. Oops! Now Tensai is out so it is down to the tag teams. Good enough for me. JBL mentions Colon still owing him money. Awesome. From a booking standpoint, I guess they don't care about their heel teams but it was fun seeing the faces clean up on the heels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiva Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Pretty fun opener. Michael Cole's ability to speak entirely in "WWE-Speak" is the most impressive thing on show right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Woman's Match - I am ignoring these until they radically change the way they approach them. I had to step out. Did I Miss Truth vs. Cesaro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlittlekitten Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 The opener was fun. Don't know why Brodus was eliminated so early though, by Tensai of all people. Glad to see these guys get PPV time though. I'm watching via a live stream which I obviously can't forward so I had to sit through a divas match for the first time in a long time. Bloody hell, how long has Eve been this great? Impressed by that match. Antonio going over was the right result. Now for the insulting AJ/Vicki shit nobody wants to see.

Stiva Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 WWE comedy is still god damn excruciating. They should totally give Otunga more "Law Offices of David Otunga" skits to work with every week though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlittlekitten Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Yeah, that was painful. The Otunga thing was great. Stuff like that, Dr Selby and the classic 3mb interview shows they can do great comedy when they can be arsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Sheamus vs. Big Show - This was as good as the last match leading to the finish but the referee stuff and the reverse decision happened way too soon to meet the standard of last month's match.

Stiva Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Show/Sheamus is a super fun match-up. The electric chair spot was great, the two of them throwing bombs on their knees was great and Show swearing up a storm like a pissed off 7 foot crazy man would was great. I hope they run this up to the Rumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlittlekitten Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Show/Sheamus was boring to average until the last few minutes. Then again I thought that about their last match and everyone seems to thinks that's a MOTYC so what do i know. Ha, Sheamus is as big of a loser as Hogan. That was the right result for the Foley/Dolph match. I'm guessing Orton's going heel again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Team Orton vs. Team Ziggler - Another good Survivor Series match and it was nice of them to give Ziggler a pinfall victory. I enjoyed the match but as I said last month, until any of these guys begin to matter, it doesn't really make any difference who wins or loses. The only thing that would have shocked me was maybe DB or Miz going 4 on 1 and coming back to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 CM Punk vs. Ryback vs. John Cena - Punk's facial expressions were the best part of the match prior to the taking out of Ryback. Also, if you are going to take Ryback out, good to introduce some NXT guys, call them NXT guys and take out the monster in a big way. Better finish than last month but they gotta get Punk away from Ryback and against someone he can beat in the ring so these finishes don't piss people off so much. Maybe Ryback can go 1 against 3 next month and destroy the NXT guys before they even have a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiva Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Quite the debut. I'm looking forward to seeing what Year of Punk celebrations we get tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlittlekitten Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Another enjoyable WWE ppv that looked shit on paper but was more than solid in practice. It looks like we have a Nexus part 2 and I'm guessing that that Maddox bloke is in on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I only saw the last hour. What I saw was pretty good, but nothing great. What I will say is that I think the finish is interesting because if the exact same finish happens with guys the internet doesn't love I imagine it would be routinely shit on and considered horrible.

If it involved guys that had no talent then yeah, deservedly so. People want to see Ambrose cos he's a great talker and offers something the WWE doesn't have at the moment. Rollins is a good worker although I don't know what his promos are like. Roman Rains stinks but you can't win them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 So am I the only one who has very low expectations for this considering how Nexus played out? Not to mention Punk's track record with stables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCampbell Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I think that the blown suplex hurt Brodus and his elimination was an audible so he could get checked out. It's way too random to have him be the only one to take a fall on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention Punk's track record with stables. It's hard not to. They're probably just gone to be Ryback fodder. I'll never understand why WWE book their heels to be so weak. Present them as a genuine threat and people might actually give a shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's way too random to have him be the only one to take a fall on the team. Brodus seems to be falling fast in the eyes of the company. He's largely been reduced to jobber status the last few weeks and you have to think the only reason he's even on TV anymore is because his entrance includes hot chicks dancing.

Victator Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I think he is being punished because of Cameron getting the DUI. They can't fire her yet, so they push Brodus down the card. This is the first PPV he has been on in months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 It looked to me as if Brodus went for the suplex too close to the ropes so Tensai just flapjacked himself. Oh, and the PPV was really good. Not great, but really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I don't even think it was the DUI, tons of people on the roster have gotten them with little or no punishment. I would wager they are mad that she lied to the cops about her employment and then didn't tell the company about her arrest until after it hit TMZ.

Johnny Sorrow Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Ok, "punishing" Clay cause one of his chicks got in trouble? As if they couldn't find another hot chick who can dance so Brodus gets "punished"? Come on. It's more of a "We established a guy strong, and then he's settled down into the mid card role he was always intended for." deal. They needed to start Brodus as huge as they did at first so he can be in the spot he's in now. It's just what they do now with certain guys.
