NintendoLogic Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 So there's a PPV premium live event tonight. I took a glance at the card, and none of the announced matches appeal to me in the slightest. In addition to three (!) Mania rematches, we've got Happy Corbin vs. Madcap Moss, Bobby Lashley vs. Omos, and Drew/RK-Bro vs. Roman/Usos. I'll check out any matches that get significant buzz after the fact, but I won't be watching live. For those of you who are, here you go. By the way, it should be noted that Brock was all over the initial advertising for this show despite never being planned to appear. It shows how far WWE is out of the mainstream consciousness when they can engage in blatant false advertising with no repercussions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I'm interested in Ronda/Charlotte just to see if it goes off the rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Brock was on the initial advertising before Mania because they didn't want to give away the finish of the Mania main event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I'm not in the least bit interested in this show - no stories, no stakes, it doesn't matter who wins or loses - but I have nothing else to do, so I'll watch anyway with sub-zero expectations and hope for the best. At least this gives me an excuse to cook a nice steak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 6 advertised matches is a strong tease for finishing before 11pm. Which means they'll find a way to make sure it ends later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Madcap Moss is actually good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 It still surprises me that Cody has been over to this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Also I know Backlash is the most traditional of B PPVs, but it wouldn't hurt to make it look just a bit different from SmackDown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Surprised that Randy hasn't "that doesn't work for me brother"d Cody using the cutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 What's gonna get the bigger pop, Wardlow tearing MJF to pieces or Cody finally hitting the Pedigree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Wardlow all the way, baybee. Not gonna lie this match is actually good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Cody is such a better fit in WWE, it's amazing. Like I knew his deal would work better here bur it's much better than I imagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Teased the Vertabreaker (!!) and grabbed the tights. Rollins in shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody reminds me of one of those guys who does okay in NXT but is the kind of wrestler/has the kind of character that blossoms on main roster WWE. Not that I'm comparing NXT to AEW - I'm not - but the step-up in the glitz and glamour of WWE is obvious in both cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 The WWE camera changes/presentation really doesn’t do Cody any favors. I saw way more strings/little positioning flubs than I remember from his last six months in AEW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He barely even slammed Lashley in this match! I know for a fact he ain't Boban Marianovic. He has some mobility, is strong as shit. Show me more of that.

Then again, that's the M.O. of WrestleMania Backlash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 I suppose I can buy this new Edge character is just a grown up version of Brood Edge, but it still comes off as Great Value House of Black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it's a million times better and more coherent than the abysmal House of Black - and I say that as someone who doesn't even love Edge's version.
