goc Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 I think the difference between a Submission match and an I Quit match is kind of splitting hairs. It's like arguing the difference between a Falls Count Anywhere match and a Street Fight. Quote
RocketCrypt Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 "Do you wanna quit?" The next time I hear those words it'll be too soon. Quote
Exposer Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 John Cena vs Rusev (US Title I Quit Match) - This started out slow then actually got pretty entertaining at times. I actually think they had a few great false finishes with the electrocution stage spot and Cena passing out to the Accolade. I think the finish was that Lana mistranslated Rusev because she's American and is prone to making translation errors. Therefore, I don't think Rusev actually quit. The finish wasn't good, but I don't think it was nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. Well unless they reverse history that isn't how they have portrayed Lana. Lana has never been an American girl who turned her back on her country to become Russian. She has been a Russian girl who has lived most of her life in the US In an interview with Rene Young two weeks ago she started the interview in clear, perfect English, stopped herself, and went back to speaking in her fake Russian English.

Exposer Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 The Bellas vs Naomi & Tamina - This sucked. Brie almost died on that head drop. Quote
Matt D Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 After this, I figure Lana won't have the accent in two months. Quote

CodySave Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 A WWE version of Punked with Dolph Ziggler in the Ashton Kutcher role is actually a show I think the average WWE fan will really enjoy. [EDIT] And may provide even further purpose to the employment of Hornswoggle and Torito. Quote

goodhelmet Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Posted May 18, 2015 Man, that DB video was really good. Too bad they didn't show him that much respect when he was the most over guy in the company. Quote

It's like arguing the difference between a Falls Count Anywhere match and a Street Fight.Well, technically the actual words "I Quit" are supposed to said in an I Quit match. Yea but the whole story after the match is that "Austin never said I quit!" This was also pre-tap outs so it would have been a verbal submission anyway. To get super nerdy about it, there's nothing in the rules that allows your manager/valet/girlfriend to quit for you either. At least not in the wrestling rulebook that I was issued. Quote

goodhelmet Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Posted May 18, 2015 Barrett vs. Neville - Man, this crowd is Stardust level quiet. - The biggest problem with Neville is how they are promoting him. He isn't really allowed to display his jaw dropping moves. He isn't any more exciting than previous little guys. - Shit finish to a blah match. Quote
hammerva Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Really you can't even have Barrett win this match? At this rate they are just fucking with him ' Quote
Matt D Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 I don't give Barrett enough credit for his body language. Quote
CodySave Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 After being internally critical of some rough camera work tonight, that was an outstanding camera angle on the Red Arrow. Beautiful shot. Quote
Matt D Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 That was actually a star making replay on the arrow. Quote
Exposer Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Bad News Barrett vs Neville - This was solid. Neville's dive is easily the craziest in WWE. The finish was lame, but I didn't hate it. Neither guy lost so that's good.The post-match was a little too long though. I wish they could have just added that stuff into the match. Neville could have broken Barrett's scepter when he tried to use it and Barrett rolls out of the ring for the count out when Neville goes for the Red Arrow. There's no need for post-matches that could be a part of the match. Quote

Match is under review and the Cena/Rusev feud will continue another 4 months. Quote
hammerva Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 The Kane interference has been way too early in this match The Shield reunion was great to see except for Orton screaming "I'm ready" before the spot This Reigns/Ambrose stuff is awesome. This is the kind of personality that we knew Roman had Quote
The Chief Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Jesus Christ Ambrose needs to lay off that clothesline, he's gone for it about six times so far. Quote
goodhelmet Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Posted May 18, 2015 Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins - Really fun but predictable to start with guys pairing off and the extended selling on the outside. Kane helping Rollins was predictable. - The 30 second Shield reunion was super fun and the 2 power bombs on the table put the cherry on top. - The crowd was amped for the Ambrose - Reigns showdown. They should have called an audible right then and there and had one of those 2 win the belt with a Shield 3 way planned for Summerslam. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. So predictable. Quote
goc Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 If Rollins can't do the Curb Stomp I like him stealing the Pedigree. I am surprised the finish didn't go down with "Kane chokeslams everyone and puts Rollins on top" I didn't pay any attention to the match though, I got sucked into the rabbit hole that is the "Dylan compares everyone to HHH" thread. Quote
Exposer Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose vs Roman Reigns vs Randy Orton (WWE Title Fatal Four Way) - This was reaching great status towards the end, but I thought the finish was weak. There are better ways to end that match in my opinion. That was a shitty pedigree too. I don't know if that was a tease of a Rollins-HHH feud down the line or not. Maybe that will happen post-Summerslam. Maybe not. Quote
hammerva Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 I didn't have a problem with the finish in the main because I was definitely expecting some bull like Rollins falling on someone for the pin or Kane doing something. I like the idea that Rollins is actually winning these matches Quote
