WingedEagle Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Shayna vs. Kairi was solid and Duke/Shafir involvement was a fun and unexpected angle, but this wasn't as strong as Toni/Io or the 6 woman tag. I'd probably go as far as to call it the weakest match these two have had, but still good. About ***1/4. Quote
Ricky Jackson Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Sane vs Baszler was great but the ref missing all the interference bugged me as someone who is a bit anal about logic Quote
Herodes Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 By all means, everyone enjoy this, crown jewel and other wwe offerings Quote
C.S. Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Not a blow away show by any means, but a fun night so far. Charlotte vs. Becky has unfortunately devolved into boring WWE garbage match formula bullshit though. :\ 3 minutes ago, Herodes said: Cognitive dissonance at its best, enjoy the show brought to you by the same people bringing you crown jewel. “Protest” isn’t about your $10 which makes zero difference, it’s about you not supporting this supposedly “terrible” company which goes beyond any financial considerations You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about as it relates to either me or El-P. You clearly haven't read our posts. You have no moral high ground when you're clearly here to troll and be a self-righteous dickhead. Try that gimmick with someone else, because it ain't working with me, bub. Quote
El-P Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 What is Herodes purpose on this board apart from being a complete douche all the time BTW ? I sure won't miss him. FWIW, I already shut the show down. I'm bored and tired. Shayna vs Sane was pretty good but, not feeling it as far as being any kind of special deal. That being said, I have zero attachment to either, so it doesn't help... Gonna watch the last two matches tomorrow depending on the reception they got here (it's not like I care to be spoiled, really). 4 minutes ago, C.S. said: You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about as it relates to either me or El-P.

hammerva Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Tables have never been a friend to Charlotte but she made damn sure it was going to break the 2nd time Quote
sek69 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 "Ladder matches have ruined the careers of WWE Superstars" said Renee while sitting next to Edge's wife. Quote
WingedEagle Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Unfortunately Becky/Charlotte looks to be carrying the Raw/Smackdown torch tonight, from the ridiculously set up spots to the TV-PG extreme gimmick match. Some decent spots and arguably stupid bumps, but thus far its the weakest match on the show (obviously not counting the battle royal). Quote
hammerva Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Unless we get a really awful finish Nikki vs Rousey is going to be fucked trying to top this. Okay Charlotte getting the Big Show/Braun Strowman treatment and Becky being scared is that really awful finish Quote
sek69 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Somewhere Braun is looking to charge Charlotte with gimmick infringement. Quote
El Boricua Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Horrible ref counting there. That's twice the ref stopped the count at nine without Charlotte getting up to her feet. Quote
WingedEagle Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 I stand corrected. It may have quickly resembled your prototypical garbage match, but they kept a great pace while putting over every gimmick along the way and actually selling the hell out of the carnage they put each other through. Finish was also absolutely tremendous and really felt like the biggest spot of the match. Pretty rare when that actually leads to a finish, much less in this kind of match. Quote
hammerva Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Also technically Charlotte got up on the last time. Unless there is some dumb rule and about how the knees must be But still a great match. Quote
Edwin Posted October 29, 2018 Author Report Posted October 29, 2018 Mike Chioda unintentional heel turn? He pushed the chair to Becky's hand and then held her so she wouldn't take a tumble during the finishing powerbomb. Quote
FMKK Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 That was a really strong match, albeit with some moments of WWE Plunder Match cliches that took away from the overall performance. Glad Becky won but it seems like Charlotte really went out of her way to take rough bumps to endear herself to the crowd. Some great selling of the physicality and pain inflicted throughout too. People on twitter saying its by far the best WWE last man standing match ever are complete numbers-seeking hype merchants though. Cena vs Umaga is still the standout. Quote

CYF Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 I thought that was laid out really well. Keeps Becky hot and they should give Charlotte some time off after this. Truly the Roman in her to try and kill herself for some cheers. If she’s walking around fine on Tuesday then this match will be lowered in my opinion Quote
FMKK Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 I like Nikki and I'm glad she's getting a proper match here but I'm not sure why they don't have Ronda winning matches straight off the bat like in UFC Quote
hammerva Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 I hope Nikki is just selling her neck being hurt. This has been a really stiff match and maybe not for good reasons. The Alabama Slam looked brutal Quote

WingedEagle Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 That was a pretty flat main event. Even the opener seemed hotter and more interesting. Just a lot of smoke & mirrors but none very interesting. Quote
FMKK Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 That was a really good match, especially considering who was in there. Nikki was excellent on offence in the first half or so in particular. There were some sloppy moments but nothing that couldn't be kayfabed away as just being part of the struggle of the fight. As good as it could been and more. Ronda is star but also worth mentioning how over the Bellas were, especially with women. Quote
sek69 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 The way they were lingering I was expecting a "you think the show is over, but here comes an angle" twist a la NXT. Quote
Edwin Posted October 29, 2018 Author Report Posted October 29, 2018 Anyone catch Triple H peaking his head while all the women posed on the entrance way? Quote
hammerva Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 Pretty sure there hasn't been a WWE PPV where the last 3 matches were in the good to great level in a while. Granted they usually book a "come down" match between those so that is why Quote
