Backlash 2016: Kicking off the 2 PPVs a month era

[Coffey]

That Intercontinental Championship match was a TON of fun & I have not been a fan of Dolph Ziggler for quite some time. They drew me in.

 

"I think we all knew Dolph Ziggler was going to lose..." - Jerry Lawler.

 

Lawler has been going in on Dolph all night.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Miz is fantastic.

[Johnny Sorrow]

And according to my gay nephew who's watching with me, both Miz and Ziggler are pretty men. 👍

Dolph Ziggler is a loser is the best and most realistic story that the WWE has told in years. It's not some one off thing, it's been the story they've been telling on Dolph ever since the split started. Booker T shit all over him during the SummerSlam pre-show saying it wasn't like a #1 contender getting a title shot it was like the #5 or #6 contender. Not to mention all the stuff Ambrose said about him in his promos.

[C.S.]

I really hope this is leading to a long overdue and much-needed heel turn for Dolph, who has been the worst and most insufferable babyface on the roster ever since that horrible Rusev love triangle storyline.

[Ricky Jackson]

Kane is the modern version of Baron Scicluna circa 1982 but far less endearing

[El Dragon]

I'm probably the only one outside of Johnny that has actually found this Kane/Wyatt match pretty fun, right?

[hammerva]

Oof I would have rather had Orton with a head injury than Kane at 100%.

[C.S.]

Who are these two jabronis in the AJ Styles backstage segment? I'm sure they're beloved indy dahlings, but I have no idea who they are.

[WingedEagle]

Absolutely loving the heel Usos. Not breaking any news here, but book Reigns the same way and he will have a ton of steam come eventual babyface turn.

They aren't.

One of them looked just like a tiny version of Rhyno. But I don't think either of them are indy darlings.

[Johnny Sorrow]

"He's got kids!" chant. Love it. 😄

[Johnny Sorrow]

GREAT moment. That ruled.

[Ricky Jackson]

Great moment

[Migs]

Hey look, a storyline about a wrestler needing to win a match, as opposed to "stealing the show" or "having a moment", actually resonated with fans. And then he won the match and people cheered!

[El Dragon]

How do they book this show so well but book every other PPV in the last 12 months so shitty?

I wanna say Ryan Ward but who knows.

[Matt D]

Is this over the corner of the ropes camera angle new or have I just not been paying attention?

[Jimmy Redman]

New post-brand split yeah.

[El Dragon]

Gotta be honest, this more then any match AJ has worked since he got signed has really made me think he can be a franchise player here. I was curious how good this would be, and it's been a fucking blast to me so far.

[Childs]

Styles is unreal. Can't remember the last time I gave a shit about an Ambrose match but I'm all in on this one.

[WingedEagle]

Cosign all the Styles love here. The way he positioned himself to take that dropkick and make the bump that much more spectacular was just terrific. Everyone simply looks better when in with him and his positioning.

[Hegs]

I agree. I cant stand Ambrose but AJ's getting a great match out of him.

[Migs]

Great finish.
