KawadaSmile Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Is this the least interesting, least hyped card they've put together in a while? Pre-Show: Mojo Rawley vs Zack Ryder Breezango vs Bludgeon Brothers Lumberjack Match: Natalya vs Charlotte © Usos © vs Rusev/English vs Gable/Benjamin vs New Dat Baron Corbin © vs Dolph Ziggler vs Bobby Roode AJ Styles © vs Jinder Mahal Nakamura/Orton vs Sami Zayn/KO w/ Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan as guest referees.

Zoo Enthusiast Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 The only thing I am interested in seeing is if Bryan turns heel. I’ll probably just watch the main event in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...TG Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Is this the least interesting, least hyped card they've put together in a while? We say that every other show and it usually turns out good. The only thing that looks outright bad is the three-way, and Nattie-Charlotte will probably be boring, but the rest looks promising.

EricR Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 The card doesn't do much for me, but over the last year the low expectation cards have tended to overdeliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I've got incredibly low expectations, which usually leads to a pleasant surprise. But this is one hell of a tough lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking about. Usually on-paper bad cards turn out to be good, but we never know. Hyped for heel Mojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 With Bryan involved I expect the main event will have tons of heat if nothing else. I think there is a good chance no one turns tonight and they stretch this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I'm doing a live blog over at SC: http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2017/12/wwe-clash-of-champions-2017-live-blog.html Pre-show match was fun, as they typically are.

Zoo Enthusiast Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I was hoping they wouldn’t do the old predictable “steal the pin” finish in that match and would just move on from Corbin as US champ. Ziggler is what he is but maybe it can freshen up that title at least a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Corbin vs. Roode vs. Ziggler - This dramatically over-delivered after a slow start. Big spots that were well chained together and captured the crowd. I even appreciated their wrinkle on the steal the pin trope they often rely on. Really fun opener. ***1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...TG Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Well I was wrong about the three-way, as that was actually pretty good. The crowd was definitely into it and it didn't overstay its welcome. And the finish was clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I think it is impossible to freshen up Ziggler at this point. Damn good match though So wait both refs are going to be in the ring at the same time? So I guess now we can see a double pin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Btw, has anyone had a more strange year booking wise than Corbin? Constantly comes up short against Ambrose at the beginning of the year, wins mitb, then is completely buried while losing his cash in, then wins .US title only to lose it to a guy who never wins and has been around forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Between 3 hours of dealing with Saxton and the Steelers game about an hour ago, Corey Graves might punch someone tonight Okay I am confused does this look like two separate matches going on at the same time?

Edwin Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Yeah, those looked pretty reckless, namely the one on Rusev and the one on Aiden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 The tag title match fell short of expectations as much as the US Title exceeded them. Bad chaos throughout before a fun finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 The 3 way was far better than it had any chance of being. I thought it was a lock Roode was going to go over after the slingshot into the post. The 4 way was forgettable until the finish which was nuts namely due to Gable dumping Rusev, Aiden and Big E on their heads with those Chaos Theories.
