WWE Stomping Grounds - NO BUYS~

[KawadaSmile]

Hey, this finish was dope.

[CarpetCrawler]

Kofi and Ziggler was a lot of fun, loved the fuck out of that finish.  That match with the constant Ziggler escaping teases had the most crowd reaction out of anything on this show so far.  That crowd was legit terrified Kofi was about to lose.  It was awesome.  

[WingedEagle]

Those last 3 matches are what I was afraid of on this show.  On the bright side, the pre-show and first ~90 minutes were really good, and it looks like they may wrap up early, which would earn major points on my card.

God I hope that Lacey can ref better than she can wrestle

We are also going to get heavy shtick commentary which for main events are just terrible

And this main event direction is why I'm out on Raw tomorrow as soon as Ricochet/AJ wraps up.

Have a feeling the special ref is going to be female.  They've made a point of Seth attacking all potential refs.  Can't do that if it's a female.  So Steph, Lacey or Becky (Where she's fired if she doesn't call it down the middle)?

Knew it

[WingedEagle]

Outback Jack had better gear than Baron Corbin.

[KawadaSmile]

As an angle, this is actually fun. Having Seth/Becky being an on-screen couple and having two feuds intertwine because of that is interesting, but to have this as the main event is the issue.

 

[CarpetCrawler]

This crowd is not taking this match well at all, it's straight up dying out there.

I actually agree with that.  This would be a perfectly fine upper midcard program but not on top for a world title

[hammerva]

So Corey justifying the heel ref by saying "she is from the South so they are a little slow".   

Love when the heel ref decides to do a normal count.  I mean seriously what is the point of that

Corey is legitimately terrible, a complete 180 from NXT.

Also Corbin giving Lacey a dirty look because she even gave HIM a slow count got a legit laugh out of me.  What the hell are they doing with this match.

[hammerva]

we are definitely getting Corbin vs Rollins at Extreme Rules.  Imagine how the Philly crowd is going to deal with that

Or a mixed tag.  Either way I've learned my lesson and am skipping the next Baron Corbin main event.

[CarpetCrawler]

"Corey, go start the car" was a legit clever line from Renee.

[Coffey]

How many Seth Rollins matches will live crowds turn on until people stop blaming it on his opponents & instead put some of the blame on his boring ass too?

[KawadaSmile]

This was a fun romp. Lacey Evans made this work, though.

Also Seth/Becky have... less than stellar chemistry together, don't they?

[Strummer]

Anyone getting Buff Bagwell/DDP/Kimberly from early 2000 vibes from this main event stuff?

COME ON Buff Bagwell was much better than Baron Corbin 

God I can't believe I typed that 

[Strummer]

So Lacey pretty much has to win the title at Extreme Rules, right?  Can't go 0-3 here

[C.S.]

I didn't watch this shitbox of a PPV (I don't even have the Network anymore).

I'm just chiming in to wish @The Thread Killer all the best.

 

[Strummer]

Oh God show is barely over and WWE apologists are coming out of the woodworks (after being silent since like Mania) saying this was so much better than expected, Vince still has it, apologize to Titan., etc.  Fine but can we see how tv is this week, first?  People really overreact to wwe  ppvs.  It's about the follow up  

[EricR]

I skipped over the final two matches, and didn't like the two before that, but I had a blast with the first two hours of this show. Drew and Tozawa did a ton of cool things in the opener, I liked Lynch/Lacey, and really liked all of the Heavy Machinery. I've been really excited to see some Otis vs. Bryan, and they did not disappoint. 

[Coffey]

Otis would be better if he could ditch Tucker, in my opinion. I see nothing in Tucker. Otis has potential though, at least as a comedy midcard act. 

[FMKK]

I'm fine with a Seth and Becky mixed tag programme but they really need to burn off the Corbin/Evans match tomorrow because those are the epitome of dead feuds. They may as well have a big neon sign saying *DON'T WATCH OUR TELEVISION* if those continue for another month.
