Steenalized Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Barrett looked huge before his injury, came back noticeably leaner, now looks like he's filled back out Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 As there are six men on the floor, I continue to think this concept is stupid. Quote
Matt D Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 I'm not entirely with Parv but I do think I've hit the point that I don't get excited for these trainwreck gimmick spotfests. There's not a ton of room for storytelling here and it's just watching one car crash spot after the next while they cycle the next guy in. Quote
Fantastic Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Jeez... That was a sick bump from Ambrose. Quote
Bierschwale Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Jeez... That was a sick bump from Ambrose. Â That's the Wellness Policy Violation bump. Jesus CHRIST. Quote
goodhelmet Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Posted March 29, 2015 Daniel Bryan vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Luke Harper vs. R Truth vs. Stardust vs. Wade Barrett - Early on, fun dive sequence - Fun ladder spots but nothing we haven’t seen before - It never gets old but it looks nasty… the powerbomb through the ringside ladder - Holy fuck… headbutt battle!!!!! - Greatest final 20 seconds in ladder match history Quote
Steenalized Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Fun match, good for Bryan getting his IC title win and a nice moment again this year. Yeah, he should be higher, but this is at least something. Quote
Matt D Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 I would have liked Harper or Ambrose being the guy up there with him at the end more. I don't entirely buy Ziggler in that role. Quote
...TG Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Some super-cringy bumps in the ladder match - the superplex, the powerbomb, and that sleeper slam by Ziggler on Harper - but not quite as bad as I'd feared. Three-for-three on entertaining matches so far. Quote
cubbymark Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Will's right on the money with the ending headbutt sequence. That was really amazing. And a good thing Randy Orton is on right now as I can take care of the rest of my laundry... Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Silly match with no flow or psychology or anything. The spots and things felt very 2000 to me. Headbutts at the end were of note, but I didn't enjoy this at all. Â ** Quote
goodhelmet Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Posted March 29, 2015 It just isn't for you Parv. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Ladder match was fun, but I liked it better the first time when it was called the opening tag match Quote
Fantastic Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Thinking it's going to go Cena/Rusev next, followed by Taker/Wyatt, Sting/Trips, breather with Bellas/AJ&Paige, then the main event. Quote
WingedEagle Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 IC Title Ladder Match  - Started out hot with the dive trains, felt a little cliche and neither here nor there as everybody got their ish in during the middle portion, but the Harper/Ambrose powerbomb, the Barrett/Stardust ridiculous suplex off the ladder and a few other big spots picked it back up. Finish was really great. In an era before these matches were overdone this might've been a classic, but not in 2015.  ***1/4 Quote
Matt D Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 The weirdest thing about that IC title match is that they had seven guys in there and past some bits of Ziggler calling Bryan a turd, I don't think that any of them really had an issue with each other. Â Also, why the heck did Rollins just do a backflip? Quote
Childs Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 I agree with Parv. I'm sick to death of WWE string-of-stunt matches, though I did like the finish and Bryan winning. It's just hard to watch them squander talented guys when you know an hour of Sting, Taker and HHH is coming. Quote
Matt D Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 That back drop off the top felt pretty novel. Quote
