WWE Payback

[Manatee]

Has Ambrose ever had a good singles match? This match is painful.

[Parties]

Cesaro-Miz was really good even with a bunch of schmozzery. It was actually good chicanery, as you actually want to see the rematch and Maryse dragging him from doom looked good. The Owens-Zayn stuff is pretty whatevs for me but at least they're letting them throw hockey punches in something that looks like a brawl. Cesaro seemed quite over.

[FMKK]

This shit needed to end 10 minutes ago. Jericho should be sent to the glue factory.

[WingedEagle]

Jericho-Ambrose felt like an ironman match without a time limit. My god.

[FMKK]

It amazes me that some people still think Jericho is good. That's nostalgia for you I guess. He's a poor man's Miz at this point.

[...TG]

They were working hard but man, that was way too long. Jericho is 45, and looks it these days.

[JerryvonKramer]

Fighting for the right to run RAW with Mr. McMahon to make the call ... glad to see wrestling has moved on so much in the past 15 years.

It's equally amazing that people think Ambrose is something special.

He had some good matches with Rollins, and the Rumble match with Owens was decent.

Bret Hart's looking like JJ Dillon mixed with RVD.

Agreed. His matches just have no gravity to them. He's just running about like a headless chicken. It's absurd that the stereotypical smark thinks this guy is great but that Roman sucks.

Charlotte still hasn't completely shaken that awkwardness in the ring she's had since NXT.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Hey, Bret dressed up.

[JerryvonKramer]

Every time I watch her, I think Charlotte is the only effective heel currently working in pro wrestling.

[...TG]

Dear Lord, did they just do a Montreal finish?

[cpst]

Minus five stars.

[Childs]

Jesus that was dumb.

[FMKK]

Well fuck that finish.

[hammerva]

JBL mentioning Flair "issues this week" was pretty funny. Hated the finish but at least they did it with the right ref

[WingedEagle]

Well, that sucked. But I can't hate it as it seemed like it meant something to Natalya & Bret. I don't know what, but good on him for feeling and looking strong after recent health issues. Hope everyone involved had a good time.

[JerryvonKramer]

I hope Bret making Flair tap made Grimmas happy.

Special event recap:

Miz rolls up Cesaro off the distraction. Maryse's transition into Trump wife is in full effect.

1997 Showbiz Pizza version of the Montreal Screwjob.

Announcers keep saying "This makes me sick" in Vince's "He's gonna puke!" voice.

Did Sasha put in a GWE ballot? https://twitter.com/SashaBanksWWE/status/726934717912633344

They really should have mentioned that on commentary. But that would mean acknowledging something that happened in WCW.

[JerryvonKramer]

Loved Vince slipping in his "as a matter of fact", straight out of his 1980-commentator-days Canary Yellow playbook.
