FMKK Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 These two don't construct matches as much as they just autopilot their way into trading spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Really haven't loved anything from Owens since the Cena feud. Hopefully a Zayn feud will reignite him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Maybe my expectations for Owens/Ziggler were too low but I've really enjoyed this, even if it is "Dolph/Owens greatest hits". Â I seem to be in the minority here but I like Owens very much. His combo of trash talking, brawling, and highspots is something I really enjoy.

Parties Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ziggler and Owens didn't have much chemistry. Had Ziggler not had his jobbing frown on the entire match, there might have been a moment of suspense. Two guys each trying to call the match and actively working against each other, leading to lots of headlocks and pointless flurries of Dolph launching himself into turnbuckles. Did they botch a crotch spot? Owens' bump into the post was great though, and to his credit Ziggler took Owens' big implant suplex off the top very well (though that move not being a deathblow finisher is crazy). When Ibushi leaving New Japan is the biggest news to come out of your match, it can't help but seem that something's off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Small thing but I hate that talk pause talk delivery and intonation that is so prevalent in modern WWE.  Kane did it massively just now.  Here's a line  Pause  And here's my next line.  It's not Harold Pinter ffs, it's wrestling, just talk.  That intonation is one of many things that makes watching this stuff a chore.

...TG Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Meltzer in his live updates said "the crowd was pretty hot with it being in Cleveland which is Ziggler's home town". I was thinking the exact opposite, felt they were kind of dead. Oh well, good match, and they woke up towards the end. Good show so far.

Johnny Sorrow Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I hate the fact Ziggler's Twitter handle is "@heelZiggler"When he set it up he was a heel. Changing your Twitter handle is a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I don't care about his alignment it's the fact he used the word on his handle. At least pretend kayfabe is a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You want WWE to play into the hands of morons that don't watch wrestling that still mock wrestling fans with "you know it's fake, right" in 2016?

Woof Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 If I'm the guy stuck behind Byron Saxton right now I'm pretty pissed. "Hey dick!

Loss Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 That was part of Ziggler's gimmick at the time. He actually had merch prepared with all sorts of insider terms that WWE reneged on at the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 This is the best possible match between these six guys, basically. Â So far this is a solid PPV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blehschmidt Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Show and Kane certainly needed to be kept strong heading into Mania. Â Fucking Ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Looks like Ryback hurt another guy, wonder if he has Luke Harper action figures to make another mocking social media post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parties Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Giant Dudes trios match was good, if only to give Harper ring time. Ryback as FIP feels like Reigns being sublimated: a weird, dumb, misinformed way for bookers to think they're creating sympathy for their guy when they're actually burying them. Or it's more HHH conspiracy theory brilliance. Big Show screaming encouragement from the apron just felt even more oblivious. Finish of the match was really fun and I agree with the Twitter proposal of Ryback-Harper for fifteen minutes at Mania. Masked Kane remains worlds beyond Unmasked Kane.

hammerva Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Not sure why the Wyatts lost the match, but it was pretty damn good.  Something tells me it will make sense in the main event  That couldn't have been a good landing on the slam by Ryback on Harper. No idea how his shoulder isn't fucked on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
