bless that tag team match because what the hell is the rest of this show. The tag team match was very good, very very good. Surprised with new day getting the win but i guess they took such a big L in the rap battle that they needed something

that US title match, they ruined it with that ending, they overbooked it and how too.

Also Natalya as number one contender. Road Dogg can piss off with his crap booking. Their is exactly 0 buys for a Natalya vs Naomi feud. Bad in the ring and on the mic. Match itself was messy anyway, most multi-men matches are a mess but for some reason the women's one's are worse and more chaotic, not sure why either.

of course lolcenawins. Now do you understand why i can't stand him and cannot wait for him to bugger off to hollywood. Anyway it wasn't even that good of a match. This brought back the supercena years and the torture raw was from 2008-2010. This was russoriffic in the worst way. Rusev should be a main eventer, the main is a good talker, good wrestler and has charisma for days, plus is very likeable in appearances off wwe main programming. Honestly he may be better off at this stage considering going to New Japan or even GFW and be booked as a main eventer and then come back in 3-4 years because i can't imagine wwe are paying him 7 figures or giving him world title reigns as what they see him now.

I shouldn't watch the G1 and then watch this 12 hours later. You know when you're losing on storylines to an in ring based product (in new japan) that you're doing something very wrong.

so far i'd say their has been 1 good match, 1 decent match with a rubbish finish, then the rest have been just meh.

As for the main event, .saveusbigbanter (please, i'm begging you).

i feel bad for the people who paid to watch this live, i really do.

[detroitKG]

Being in the crowd or at home this match is going to be hard to follow through all that lol

[Spens1]

Flag match is definitely one of the 5 worst stipulation matches

the only flag match should be a match between Big Damo vs Tyler Bate vs Sheamus in a FLEG match.

Not sure I've heard a philly crowd this quiet

[Spens1]

well then, another Singh bro just died, again (a highlight in an otherwise bad match, not that you can see a damn thing half the time).

[Spens1]

WAIT WHAT THEY BROUGHT BACK KHALI

that's it, just bring in Tiger Singh now also whilst we're at it.

[studcrackers]

Khali comin out is so spectacularly dumb that I love it

[skbucks1985]

I can honesty say, I definitely did not see that coming

[spykelee]

What a horrible main event. One of the worst I've ever seen. The great khali? That is just so bad I don't even know what to say about it

My suggestion to enjoying these awful ppv's get with some friends and mystery science this sh*t.

[Spens1]

so, worst show of the year? i mean i expected the main event to be bad but damn, Khali in 2017, i didn't think Vince was this insane. Please send this man to a retirement home or more appropriately, an asylum.

or get really REALLY high or drunk.

[studcrackers]

Those don't have to be mutually exclusive

My take on the main event is, i dont mind having Khali come in and saving mahal, assuming that hes not back long term, just more as a shield for mahal. BUT, boy do they make mahal look god awfully weak for a Champion. They could have very easily just kept the finish exactly as was, but just left the Bollywood Boys out of the match and had it go 1 on 1 all the way up to the Khali save. That would have been much better booked and would have made your champion look better.

The Cena/Rusev match, i dont know what everybodys iching about. It was a good back and forth battle that was interesting till the end. Sometimes i think people just stereotype guys like Cena and reigns so badly that they write off all their matches as garbage without actually watching the match.

Uso/new day was 5 stars. Would've liked to have seen the Usos run a little longer with the belts, but great match nonetheless.

Totally agree that Owens/AJ ending made zero sense. ref gets knocked out, and Owens doesn't cheat or have an unseen tap out or an unseen 1-2-3 count. if anything it made AJ look worse because the ref counted slow and still got to the 3 count. That was like a 4 in real time

[spykelee]

One of the worst ppv's I've ever seen. Smackdown tries so hard to do the opposite of what your expecting but they even botch that... have rusev win the flag match if that's what you want to accomplish..

Khali is a huge flop

I don't mind natty winning as she deserves it... but there's no steam behind that match

The finish in styles Owens and nak vs Corbin was brutal

The tag match was good

Even Dillinger lost... this company cannot get out of there own way.

1 good match. They should be paying us to watch this garbage

New Day v Usos was great. KO v AJ was good, ending was weird but I won't complain about a heel winning clean. Rest of the show was awful. NXT is the only WWE programming worth watching.

Flag match is definitely one of the 5 worst stipulation matches

Two horrible stipulations in this PPV.

I am actually ok with Khali. Makes sense in this storyline. As an enforcer, he can be an effective image. Dont have him wrestle in any form whatsoever though.

[tugs]

What's more haunting, Braun's "BRAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!!" or Khali's, "BWAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

OH DAMN I HOPE WWE DOESN'T SEE THIS. IMAGINE A SHOUTING MATCH FOR THE WWE TITLE!
