forameus Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Show was a bit meh overall. Nothing really bad, but nothing brilliant overall (apart from the main event). Raging that Naomi won as I changed my pick in the predictions after being convinced that Bliss would win. Other matches were not bad. Feel really sorry for the Ascension to be honest. They really could be something, but there's not many ways they could have buried them worse than they did there. Shame. Main event was brilliant. Best Elimination Chamber match I've seen. The changes to the chamber itself really worked - a lot more space to get spots in. Everyone in the match comes out looking brilliant. They set up at least one match at WM in Corbin vs Ambrose (remember setting up stories with multi-man matches?). The only weak point was how predictable the ending was. Had they managed to keep Wyatt winning more of a secret, it would have been much better. But with Orton winning the Rumble, it was always pretty obvious.

FifeArab Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Stayed up and watched this. All meh until the Orton v Harper match, thought that was decent. Really enjoyed the Chamber match, maybe a Bray Wyatt v Orton v AJ triple threat at WM could be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I thought it was a solid wrestling show before the main event. Lots of decent stuff, and a very good match. So add the main event to that and you've got a pretty good PPV on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I've only watched Harper Orton and the chamber match which were both superb. I couldn't be bothered watching the rest tbh.The chamber match is probably my favourite match type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'd agree that Wyatt winning was predictable, but sometimes predictable is best. No point in tossing curve balls just for the sake of it when a potentially good story could be told with one guy as champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'smiling babyface' gimmick has never worked. It didn't work for The Rock in 1996 and didn't work for John Cena in 2002. Quite why they imagine it'll ever work is a mystery. 5 hours ago, Allan Jacobsen said: If this is at Naomi winning, I couldn't agree more. There's just something about her that I really don't like. I think its that she's fucking shit and her gimmick is cheesy nonsense. She belongs in the crap era of the 'Divas' and not the newer and far superior women's division of today. Anyway, just watched the event. Pretty decent and pretty enjoyable. Kalisto can fuck right off. Shite wee cunt with a pish gimmick. His selling was rubbish and then he made a sudden and miraculous recovery, totally ignoring the injury that had him hobbling and hunched over in pain just seconds earlier. The Vaudevillians got buried so hard that they might as well just quit. The Ascension faired a bit better, but not much. They're fucked as well. I don't think Lynch and James clicked. Clearly both are very talented and have shown many times before how good they are, but they just seemed too clunky and awkward together. Chamber was delightful. Miz was brilliant ripping Bryan. Shame he got eliminated so easily. Cena's '10 Knuckle Shuffle' was amusing for just how shit it looked. Corbin and Ambrose could be feuding over the IC title now. Could we get them at Mania for the belt instead of a ladder match? Delightful seeing Bray finally win the big one. Hopefully they treat him well and finally put him over. AJ was his usual brilliant self but hard to see where he goes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Smackdowns tag team division is boring as hell. There isn't one team in there that makes me want to watch a tag match. The vaudevillians and the ascension never grabbed me as gimmicks to begin with and the usos were shoved down our throats for so long I lost interest.

Ira Gaines Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 There's actually some really good tag teams in there. Tag teams that could do well given a chance. It's just fallen to absolute shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Loved the chamber match and happy to see Wyatt get a moment in the sun. Would be lovely to see a strong champ run past mania as well. Wyatt as a defending champ against AJ is something I'd love to see. In fairness, AJ versus anybody would sound appealing. The guy is just superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Aye AJ just knocks out brilliant matches with anyone and everyone. Top boy. Absolutely in love with Miz's pisstake of Bryan again. The crowd were right into it as well. Corbin came out looking dominant as well. His finisher's great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 In the last few months Bray Wyatt has cleanly pinned John Cena, AJ Styles, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. He has been a tag team champion, sole survivor, royal rumble final 3 and now WWE Champion going into Mania. For all he had been wasted previously - he has been given quite a subtle mega push in last 6 months. They are clearly very hot on him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
