Ricky Jackson Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Other than NXT every week, I haven't watched any WWE since catching bits of the immediate post Mania shows. Looking forward to Reigns vs Strowman. The rest of the card has potential to be good Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe Neville vs. Austin Aries (Cruiserweight Championship) Matt and Jeff Hardy vs. Cesaro and Sheamus (Raw Tag Team Championships) Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss (Raw Women's Championship) Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho (United States Championship) Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt (House of Horrors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposer Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Balor is on Miz TV for the pre-show as well. I'm pumped for Reigns-Strowman & interested to see the stupidity that comes from the House of Horrors, but this is an average card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Seth Rollins Vs. Samoa Joe Roman Reigns Vs. Braun Strowman Neville Vs. Austin Aries Those three matches should be hype! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 The spoilers looking at the betting lines And yes I have a feeling this will be the most 1995 WWE version of a House of Horrors match possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I have a feeling this show will end up being sneaky good since there was zero buzz going in. Most of the matchups on paper should be at least decent if not good, and we have the possibility of an all time Wrestlecrap moment which might reach "so bad it's good" levels.

artDDP Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'm attending this card and expecting at least a decent to good show. The last WWE PPV card I attended was No Mercy, which also had an Orton-Wyatt match. I think I'm cursed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Expecting some New Day/Wyatt compound brawl level of blandness. Other than that, really hard to call it a good card. Roman/Strowman and that's pretty much it. Maybe Hardys/Cesaro & Sheamus, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Jerry Lawler has no clue what is going with this show. Wow given how much they are pushing the "Bayley is coming home" so far, the updated betting lines are making more and more sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...TG Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Jerry Lawler has no clue what is going with this show. I don't care how out of it he is because that t-shirt is amazing, even by King's standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 When are people going to realize that KO working a headlock like shit isn't good wrestling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Is it just me or does this match seem to be in slow motion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Well... Jericho's almost half a century old and KO is not very good, so of course it seems to be in slow motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Ugh, Kevin Owens is so terrible. He can't string together more than two moves without leaning over to grab his knees, or lean over the ropes and start sucking wind. And I don't give a crap what the announcers say about Owens having a "strategy" and being a "back to basics" wrestler - he HAS to keep going back to the side headlock so he can lie down, because he's winded. Hey it's cool, you don't want to be a muscle guy. Then don't lift weights...but do some goddamn cardio, for fuck's sake. Have some professional pride. Jericho might still have a couple of good matches left in him, but he's not going to have them when he has to drag that big bag of crap Kevin Owens around with him. Gah.

The Thread Killer Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Is it just me or does this match seem to be in slow motion? Well... Jericho's almost half a century old and KO is not very good, so of course it seems to be in slow motion. You said it, dude. That's what happens when one wrestler moves at half speed due to age and accumulated injuries, and the other is out of shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thread Killer Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I assume this leads to a rematch with a Loser Leaves Town type stipulation. I can't imagine Owens would have the "new face of America" gimmick if he wasn't going to be the US Champ long term, and I thought it was pretty much established that Jericho is going back on the road with Fozzy?

hammerva Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Yeah that was the major "what the fuck" when people were looking at the betting lines. I mean at least it leads to someone on the next PPV but why would want to see Jericho vs Owens 3 I am not sure unless it is a stipulation It was a perfectly fine RAW match. Just like their Wrestlemania match was a RAW or Smackdown type match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I actually thought that wasn't too bad. Much better than Mania thanks to an audible crowd that was way more invested than I thought a 2017 crowd could be for a Jericho match. I didn't think it was wrestled in slow motion at all, either - in fact, I thought the sequences were pretty tight with signature spot into counter into signature spot and repeat. Ending was a bit of a shocker too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Much like the Wrestlemania match, the closing moments were actually good. Jericho stomping the fingers is the kind of hatred and mean cuntiness I wanted since the beggining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 So the PPV where feuds are decided according to the commentators have had two matches where it is obvious there will be another match to settle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Michael Cole saying Sheamus is one of the most underrated and underappreciated wrestlers in WWE is a nice, if not a bit unexpected, call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 A lot more control from the Hardy's than I'd have expected here. If they are in fact losing that may suggest they've purchased the Broken gimmick to get the titles off of them before a reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
