Grimmas Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 It seems like Battleground is horrible every year, though. It's always the PPV that seems to draw the most ire from everyone. The first one had that 4.5 star great great great Rhodes Brothers vs Shield match where they got their job back and Dusty was in their corner, at least. Quote
Jimmy Redman Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Didn't Sami and Owens have their "blowoff" at a Battleground? Quote
Ricky Jackson Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Posted July 24, 2017 Randy Orton reinventing himself as the King of gimmick matches nobody wants to see Quote
El Dragon Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Â Â Â How does this rank with the all time bad PPVs? I never ordered any of the contenders back in the day, but this feels like a real bottom of the Network era. I've seen far worse. This isn't good but something like Starcade 99 was worse by a mile. Okay how about WWE PPVs? Assuming the Main Event doesn't save things... Maybe this is the worst they have done since Royal Rumble and/or Survivor Series 2015? I'm sure it's a coincidence that Orton was in title programs for all of those. Quote
El Dragon Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Ah, the ever so serious Cage Dropping Music. Â So, seriously, where does this match rank on the TNA scale of dumbest gimmick matches? This concept is much dumber then King of the Mountain, at least to me. Quote
...TG Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 I can't see a damn thing in the ring when they cut to the hard camera shot. What a show. Quote
El Dragon Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 I'd love Philly to start a "We can't see shit *clap clap clapclapclap* chant right now. Quote
Jimmy Redman Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 I just never in my life thought that one day in the future I'd have to sit through Jinder Fucking Mahal PPV main events. Â What did I ever do to you God. Quote
sek69 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Yeah how is the live crowd supposed to see what is going on here? Quote
El Dragon Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 I just never in my life thought that one day in the future I'd have to sit through Jinder Fucking Mahal PPV main events. What did I ever do to you God. I mean, I'm not saying it was the Kofi Kingston vote.... Quote
gordi Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 I just never in my life thought that one day in the future I'd have to sit through Jinder Fucking Mahal PPV main events. What did I ever do to you God. You took a bite from the forbidden fruit of The Tree of the Knowledge of Ken the Box Quote
El Dragon Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Stupidest thing in this match. If someone escapes through one of the doors early, who cares? Just get another's door open while the 4th ref stands around with his thumb up his ass. Quote
gordi Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Stupidest thing in this match. If someone escapes through one of the doors early, who cares? Just get another's door open while the 4th ref stands around with his thumb up his ass. Hahaha! It's funny because it's true. Quote
El Dragon Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Seriously, another match were the wrestlers look stupid. Mahal is climbing the first cage? Orton should get the door opened on the other side, run out, and be waiting for him at the bottom. THINK PEOPLE Quote
sek69 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 They make things that should be simple like this and the flag match needlessly complicated. Quote
...TG Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Crowd doesn't care and/or can't see, as they're just amusing themselves with chants. "Trust the process" and a half-hearted "delete" were the ones I heard. Quote
Al Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Even in kayfabe this match is needlessly convoluted. Quote
El Dragon Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 I'm trying to think of a PPV main event less appealing then this one using the current roster, and I'm coming up completely empty. 2 boring wrestlers in a stupid match. Quote
gordi Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 They need to go back and study that classic Billy Robinson vs Dory Funk Jr. Punjabi Prison match from the 1970s. Those guys knew how to tell a good Punjabi Prison story. Quote
sek69 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Surprised the fans haven't gone full Philly mode and shat all over this yet. Quote

Those guys knew how to tell a good Punjabi Prison story. I wish I could upvote. Â We all could be watching Tully/Magnum right now and talking about that. Quote
Jimmy Redman Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 My mother, who never cares about match quality, is even saying this is stupid and also called this exact finish like 15 minutes ago. Quote
El Dragon Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Wow, that entire advantage Mahal got from escaping early sure helped him tons there. Quote
Strummer Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 It seems like Battleground is horrible every year, though. It's always the PPV that seems to draw the most ire from everyone. Yep 2014 show was completely shit on which Hunter even mentioned in a promo the next night on Raw Quote
