three minutes of doing literally nothing
same suplex city we always get, now with uncomfortable please-don't-actually-kill-bryan undertones
three bryan moves, one of which was a nutshot
weak breakout of the yes lock, twice
lesnar wins lol
we're sold on it as an epic almost-win for bryan when the announcers pushed him as a huge underdog and the offense went like 90-10

styles/nakamura at mania is about the only other time I have been this disappointed in a match

I just don't know how you can say that was a 1* match unless you were just only gonna be happy if Bryan won

Something like Brock/Bryan shouldn't be 50-50, Bryan got more offense than you'd expect, and it was all pretty damn intense and great with the heel style.

I think I would've been LESS happy with a Bryan win

nothing about it was intense, and I am a guy who liked HHH/Taker 3

heel style works better when there's a face

Never really thought about it, maybe. I think my main issue is it took so long for anything (other than wandering around, and suplexes) to happen that I didn't really care by the time it did. I never bought Bryan as having a chance, which also didn't help.

Btw, I'm not so convinced Becky/Ronda would have had the same ending.

Mostly because the intent was clear to get sympathy for Ronda and considering Charlotte's... mixed reaction I think they trusted that she could get the proper heel heat to Ronda's babyface sympathy.

Apparently not.

To be fair, it depends on what Taker/HHH 3 is.

Cause I mean their WM28 match was their third WM match. And I enjoyed it well enough.

Yeah I thought the Brock/Bryan match was very enjoyable but I perhaps may not have if I had legit concern for Bryan's safety. I don't think Brock is really as dangerous as some of you guys are making him out to be. I mean yeah he's got a more rough and tumble style than most WWE stuff but I don't feel he's particularly sloppy.

Probably the match of the show for me. Not a super strong show in this regard, however.

Continuing star ratings (doubt I'll bother to watch the next PPV, but will come back in the Rumble cause I like doing these.

***3/4 - Bryan vs Lesnar
***1/2 - Charlotte vs Ronda
**3/4 - Cruiserweight Title Match
**1/2 - Men's Survivor Series Match
*1/2 - Nakamura vs Rollins
* - AOP vs The Bar
1/2* - Women's Survivor Series Match

Bryan vs Lesnar was about as good as I could've hoped for really. Had a really nice progression I liked and I don't think any of the segments in the match overstayed their welcome. Bryan came off as a pretty legitimate threat I think and didn't do it in a way that strained credibility for me despite Lesnar being like twice his size. I think my only real problem was Lesnar's early escape of the Yes! Lock was a bit weak and hurt Bryan's credibility a bit. Like if Lesnar can just pull the hands apart it's like... ehhh. I don't care if Lesnar is stronger it's hard to break someone's grip in that position doing it that way.

Charlotte vs Ronda as said was quite enjoyable and really only held back by Ronda's lack of a moveset making the match feel like it was on repeat after a while. The other minor gripe is I can't buy the Figure 8 as a finish against women who do actual good submissions. Was true with Ronda and true with Asuka. Even the finish, I liked in a vacuum, but it was explained poorly and I'm not sure we're going to get a good explanation ever.

Cruiserweight Title Match probably would've been better even to the point of possibly being MotN if I watched 205 Live. I had trouble caring, but I managed to get into it despite not caring because the action was good.

Men's Survivor Series Match... too much focus on Shane, but kinda enjoyable. Lashley beasting on guys was fun to watch.

Nakamura vs Rollins just went way too long for what it was. Felt phoned in and like it was padding time. I think it could've went that long with build or feeling the IC or US Titles had actual prestige, but as it was I was not a fan.

AOP vs Bar was a bad Smackdown tag match with bad comedy.

Women's Survivor Series match was kinda just boring. Terrible booking too which dings it a star. Nia is not getting good kind of heat that you want to push her like this-- this would've been an excellent step towards rebuilding Asuka into actually mattering again if they went that way but instead bury her deeper.

Yeah I'm sure in the huge minority on that one. Nakamura and Rollins are both guys I don't drink the kool aid as much as most fans and I probably ding harder for "I need to care about who wins this" than most too, so you combine those two and I wouldn't be surprised to see people have it as one of the better matches of the night. Just not for me.

All I didn't like Bryan's smiling because I felt like it was supposed to be a "I know something you don't" type thing and in the end it meant nothing.

Like I was hoping he knew that AJ was so enraged he couldn't help but interfere in the match and give him the win via DQ. And could hold that over AJ (and everyone really) forever.

Bryan/Lesnar: *1/2
it was a thirty minute slow motion squash match with no story beyond a hope spot for the plucky underdog cowardly heel why is everybody so hyped for it

Charlotte/Ronda: ***1/2
Probably my favorite Charlotte match to date, and the post-match I think elevates it a bit.

Cruiserweights: ***1/2
I don't know these guys but I like 'em. Probably my MotN.

Men's SurSer: **
To be fair I think I would've been more invested had I been following the story but with no context it just kinda felt like a long cluster**** sprinkled with Shane doing Shane things. Not quite sure how we got to a point where Shane O friggin Mac was my favorite part of a match with all these talented dudes, but.

Nakamura/Rollins: **1/2
I feel like this probably deserves a good rating but it did not click with me at all for some reason. Just felt long.

AOP/Bar: **
That ending was kinda silly

Women's SurSer: **
I guess they're leaning into the Nia thing

80-man Pre-show SurSer: ***
I don't know half those guys but I like 'em

Listening to Doug Lackey's review, and he keeps saying Becky might miss Wrestlemania, has anyone else heard anything about that? I'm thinking he might just be full of shit.

He also seems to be a Becky hater, so that could be part of it. He keeps praising Nia for what happened, criticizing the booking for not taking advantage of that (I guess I can understand that part), and saying that things were so much better with Charlotte there instead of Becky.

Edit: Apparently the reason Joe got eliminated so quickly is because he has some knee issues, and they were planning on writing him out of TV for a while, so he's not in the doghouse. Really hope that one is true, Joe should have a long title run.
