WWE Payback

[Blehschmidt]

The Pre-Show Stopper! Heeling on the crowd with Punk's entrance. I like this Ryback.

[WingedEagle]

Ranallo sounds like he should be who paid for promotional consideration. Not like Lord Al Hayes used to do it, because that was some classy business, but more along the lines of the 2AM spots on basic cable.

 

Ryback gets a whole lot of snowflakes for his belt.

Ryback saved Kalisto on that dive.

I'm doing a live blog over at Segunda Caida. I so far do not see the point of that Corbin/Ziggler match.

Nowhere to go but up!

[hammerva]

Kalisto should have died on the botched flip. Luckily Ryback was in a bad spot to save him

 

Say what you want about Ryback, he is working his ass off in this match. Thank god this match wasn't on Wrestlemania in front of a stadium with 5% of the crowd in it

[C.S.]

Great match, even better weight belt.

[shoe]

Super fun match.

[WingedEagle]

Never would I guess that Ryback would thrive working with little guys. Great pre-show match.

In years to come, people will look back on The New Day and think of them like we might think of Rikishi and Too Cool now.

Distinct minority, but I enjoyed their dancing a whole lot more than New Day's schtick. Perhaps I was the right age for Rikishi & co. though.

[EricR]

Shame due to the match layout that Ryback's insane gorilla press slam was hardly sold. That thing was awesome.

What, Awesome?

Kalisto vs. Ryback

- Great little man vs. big man. Great hope spots and Ryback sold exactly when he should have. Loved the delayed sell form the high kick that set up the apron DDt which Ryback sold great. Loved Ryback trying to fly and that ended up costing him the match when he could have put it away. I also love that his kickouts escalated. Licking out at one early, getting some late twos in the home stretch and finally the putaway. Great kickoff!!!

Is gloomy Trent Reznor smark at ringside for every show now?

[Jmare007]

aw man

[cpst]

I would hope this is a work, but it sadly seems too stupid to be one.

Would rather have that then the two fucks in full clown makeup.

 

Fuck Enzo hurt in his first huge match hitting the ropes. That isn't going to be good for multiple people

[goodhelmet]

I was really excited about the tag division but this sucks. Lets hope he is ok.

[cpst]

It's strange to follow up a match ending in a kayfabe-breaking injury with a video package that features someone bragging about causing an injury to his opponent.

[WingedEagle]

Was that a legit injury? My gut watching and with the way they followed up said it was just way to cut things short, but from everything I'm seeing on Twitter its legit.

[Ricky Jackson]

They had to improvise in the heat of the moment, you can't prepare for that

[Childs]

Looked legit. Slamming your neck against the ropes is no joke.

[Childs]

Perrito is the obvious scary comparison.

[WingedEagle]

Looked legit. Slamming your neck against the ropes is no joke.

 

Huh, I didn't see his neck hit the ropes on the replay but that doesn't sound good at all. It looked like the side of his head touched the ropes and then slammed against the mat. Hope he's okay.

[Johnny Sorrow]

When Enzo started twitching and taking deep breaths I was like "Oh fuck"
