Elimination Chamber

[goodhelmet]

I think you are right but it doesn't mean it is what I want to see happen. Also, the Usos haven't been treated like a B team for awhile now.

[Matt D]

The Rock getting a mania spot helps everyone else in the company. NAO getting one means two other guys are screwed out of a slot.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Yeah, the Usos are a top team now.

[C.S.]

Considering how little the tag scene means in the WWE, the Usos being "a top team now" is something that can change tomorrow. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised and hear about them walking out of tonight's PPV with the belts, but I don't see it happening. The Outlaws are an Attitude era attraction, and the perception is probably that they'll "help" the Network and WrestleMania. Otherwise, why give them the titles in the first place? Taking them off of Goldust and Cody was monumentally stupid either way.

[Loss]

I had no idea there were tiers in the tag team division.

Agreed but this is also the team that got the better of the Shield, has been put in positions to get key pins in multi-tags and aren't jobbing on a regular basis.

 

I had no idea there were tiers in the tag team division.

 

For months, Cody & Goldust and the Shield were at the top tier. Teams like the Prime Time Players and Ryback & Axel were not treated seriously.

[Death From Above]

If they're going to screw Bryan, I hope they do it with gusto. Might as well get everything they can out of it. Four flat tires, sneak attacks before the match on his shoulder, then his pod doesn't open, only it finally does and then it takes a ridiculous amount of cheating to put him away. Go all the way! Get some heat!

 

Hahaha Triple H locking Brian into the pod would be great.

[benj]

I love that idea too. I just don't see Bryan in the Main Event at Mania. A match with Trips maybe, but it seems like they are building to a Kane match. I hope I am wrong.

[Cobra Commander]

the Usos have been going over the Outlaws for like 2 weeks solid, the Outlaws are retaining tonight

[Johnny Sorrow]

Hello, Renee's gams.

[Johnny Sorrow]

THE AXE!

[goodhelmet]

I love the idea of interrupting the match to order the PPV we are already watching.

[goodhelmet]

Goldust & Cody vs. Ryback and Axel

- Well, it was the right decision to let the Rhodes go over but I feel bad for the Axe having to see his grandson eat the pin

[goodhelmet]

Wow... the pre-game guys picking Cesaro and Sheamus. We now know who is not winning.

[Timbo Slice]

Yeah, I don't get why they would bring Larry out unless they were gonna give Rybaxel the rub. Kinda sad.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Larry was probably backstage and Axel said, "hey, wanna go down there with me and watch me work?" I seriously doubt whether he won or lost mattered.

[goodhelmet]

I don't think Axel has the stroke to tell the Axe he can go to the ring with him.

[Cobra Commander]

Ryback probably asked the Axe to come down to the ring with them instead, leading to the Axe adopting Ryback as a grandson

[Johnny Sorrow]

I don't think Axel has the stroke to tell the Axe he can go to the ring with him.

Or he asked Vince, or it was Vince's idea or whatever . The point is I doubt Larry gave a shit whether Curtis won or lost. He was happy to see his grandson work.

[goodhelmet]

Big E vs. Jack Swagger

- I like how Big E's offense is all back and rib focused leading to the Big Ending. Really fun power match with some nice hope spots and false endings. One miscommunication spot at the end but they recovered nicely. This may be the best Big E singles match I have seen. What is better?

[Dylan Waco]

Love Bad News Barrett.

 

Opening tag was fun, and I dig Rybaxel as a team, but that commercial shit annoys me to no end.

 

Big E v. Swagger actually felt like a big match which added a ton to it. I'm really not sure the match was all that good, but I enjoyed it anyhow as the big spots looked good and both guys came out of it looking like stars, which is something almost never happens in I-C title matches. Loved Zeb's pre-match promo.

[Loss]

I think I'm getting my Wrestlemania podium at this rate! Holy podium!

 

The opener was okay, but something about Swagger doesn't click for me.

[goodhelmet]

It's because he looks like Biff from Back to the Future.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Stupid Pizza Hut Wing Street sent me the wrong Buffalo Wings.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Bob Armstrong joke by Lawler, nice.
