Matt D Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 Just caught up. Lots to go through. It was interesting just how many people were in there through most of it. @El-P complained about lack of stories but Billie Kay carried the first half of this. Her trying to team up before getting in and being torn about the Iiconics pose and trying to be friends with three people/entities, etc. Jax and Moon looked pretty bad. Mostly everyone else looked really good. I liked the Alexa stuff, to be honest. She's playing her character in the ring and changing up the way she's moving and reacting. The character may be problematic but Alexa's doing well with working to it in a setting like this. Blame Prichard, not her. Lots of great little moments, like Victoria hitting the widow's peak after Peyton did it or the Naomi/Bianca stuff or the Nia/Tamina stuff and Lana's big moment. I like how they cycle through the "legends" and you get people you haven't seen last time. I saw the WWE Rewind (or whatever) thing with Bianca featured earlier today and I'm pretty happy for her because she put in such a showing last time, even better than this one, I think. I don't know. I enjoyed this. Quote

That's being "cute" at best, she did not carry jackshit. This match is straight out of 1999, total Attitude Era garbage match, overgimmicked, overproduced and plodding (and yeah, without any blood). Hard fucking pass. Quote

hammerva Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 The hard part of this match is trying to make people care about this match when there is a 100% chance of Reigns winning Sammy took the golf cart better  Quote
El-P Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 Lifting one of the most famous spot of AEW from last year.... ok. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 shit talking a dead man roman's such a bastard Quote

El-P Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 This is soooo Rock vs Foley 1999. I hated that match even then. This is just bad. Quote

You're right, it's actually from 2001 (since they are working a 1999 match, complete with the forklift now). Quote

El-P Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 Lifting one of the most famous spot from AEW of last year (YEAH !), at least Owens did not concuss himself... Quote

hammerva Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 I was worried they were going to do the forklift spot that gave Foley a title win over the Rock Quote

El-P Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 This match has been going on for two hours already. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 Last Man Standing matches are sadly slow by nature Quote

Matt D Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 The biggest thing on the line in this match is EverRise's shirt sales. Quote

El-P Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 Roman being legit stuck is all kind of funny. Can't beat handcuffs to screw things up. Always. Quote
Matt D Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 My mind: Hey, handcuffs. I wonder what Bossman would be doing if he was still alive. He'd be a good guy to bring back for legends things. The old guys were really pared down with all the deaths. He, I wonder why they don't use Barbarian. Hey, they should put Meng and Barbarian in the HOF. Quote
hammerva Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 Unless they explain that the ref is on the take this is incredibly stupid finish Quote
El-P Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 Don't they realize this kind of gimmick, with the count, is about the WORST gimmick to have without a crowd ? Flat as fuck finish to boot. This was terrible. Quote
