WWE Fastlane

[JerryvonKramer]

Ambrose's selling is pretty good here

[WingedEagle]

Just give me at least 15 minutes of this before the Wyatt magic show. Do what you want after that point but let me have my Lesnar.

[Death From Above]

I don't get how the same company can make so many decent matches feel like a non-event and then book this to be exactly what it should be (to this point).

[sek69]

I like how they've established the only way to stop Brock is to punch him in the balls.

[Matt D]

I actually don't mind this layout too much. They had a number of marks that they had to hit before the chapter break before Lesnar is taken out of the match and Ambrose and Reigns have to put their friendship on the line, etc. They just had to get in all of that stuff first because it had to fit into the match somewhere.

Ambrose's selling is pretty good here

 

I don't think he is selling. Half of these suplexes he is landing on his neck

[JerryvonKramer]

This match is telling a great story

[sek69]

This Roman-Dean segment is only going to further illustrate how bad the finish is going to backfire on them.

[WingedEagle]

This match is telling a great story

 

Indeed. Really well put together.

[hammerva]

If Brock gets destroyed on these table spots, what the hell are they planning to make Bray look like it means shit

[...TG]

I'm enjoying the hell out of this so far. As poorly booked as the promotion has been for the last year or so, Brock destroying people is just the best.

 

There's three announcer tables, so maybe we get three Shield powerbombs?

[sek69]

Brock coming out of the rubble like Godzilla gonna be epic.

[WingedEagle]

IT LIVES!

[Death From Above]

Incredible match. The finish was exactly what we all knew it would be, I guess.

 

Goddamn that was great even if the result was obvious. Just carnage, destruction, three guys looking for a way to end it all in one big shot. Loved it.

[JerryvonKramer]

Another awesome match involving Brock and Roman, the third one.

[WingedEagle]

Wow. That was sudden. Brock-Ambrose at Mania? Is the magic show somehow off?

[...TG]

That suplex on Roman while he had Dean in a fireman's carry was a helluva spot, but man it looked like it hurt.

[JerryvonKramer]

I'd go as high as ****3/4, that good.

[WingedEagle]

Another awesome match involving Brock and Roman, the third one.

 

What was the second one?

[hammerva]

Huh no Bray Wyatt. Well that makes the 6 man match finish stupid

[JerryvonKramer]

My mistake Rumble 15 was Seth

[WingedEagle]

I'd go as high as ****3/4, that good.

 

4.5 here, but one I'll definitely want to rewatch for MOTY purposes later this year. Brock's performance and the layout were incredible, and the booking (particularly absence of Wyatts) may very well push it higher.

[Migs]

If they put over Ambrose here, it would have felt like huge moment. When he came in swinging the chair, that crowd was ready to lose it for him.

[Death From Above]

Crowd is totally dead for a Roman/Triple H staredown. Doesn't take away from how great the main event was for me but what a goddamn hilarious way to go off the air.

[Childs]

It is a shame a match that good set up a match no one wants to see. But live in the moment, I guess.
