Legit MOTY candidate as well right?? Who says Traditional SS Matches are outdated, there is so much room for creativity and awesome storytelling. The culmination of the in ring story of the matches + the storyline connected to the match sends the crowd crazy when it's been that long of a match (like the traditional one's normally are), false finishers mean more, elimination pops etc. And they are really easy matches to make guys in or at least make certain talent look really strong, e.g. Ziggler.
And to think they were going stop Survivor Series entirely a few years back......

I did "scream like this was the Nineties" at Sting showing up, but a part of me does wish Ziggler didn't win just because Sting literally put him on top of Rollins, who was probably marking out so hard when Sting showed up he pee'd and poo'd a little which left him too squicked out to get up. The only thing I kinda wished for is that Ziggler could've drove Rollins down one last time so he could've really gotten the pin as this really struck me as a Rock/Triple H at Backlash 2000 ending. Sure, Austin came out and helped The Rock but it still took The Rock himself finishing off Triple H to get the victory. Honestly, the only reason that I don't mind Sting's role is because Ziggler did finish him off twice. If Sting had come otu after a curb stomp or something, then I'd absolutely agree, but Ziggler had pinned him for about 20 before it all ended so it didn't feel like a cheap victory to me, it felt like the guy was finally getting the victory he earned before but was continually robbed of. Granted, I may be fine with it because my favorite moments all tend to have outsiders helping the face in just as egregious ways (Foley's first title win, f.ex). That's why I'm just kinda.... ehhhhh....about it instead of rolling my eyes and being all snarkalicious. Dolph was pretty much dying for all our sins and he did have Rollins in the can. Ah well. That'll do, Zig. That'll do.

I enjoyed PPV because the results were perfect. Sure I wasn't emotionally invested in anything since Ambrose/Rollins but they put on a good show.
The first 20 minutes were annoying and felt like Raw. The rest of the show did feel like Raw too. WWE should reevaluate that ending and learn from it because the last 25 minutes of the main event was the way you book a PPV, high drama with highs and lows happening at every corner with suspense and the viewer foaming at the mouth for more.

Well. That was the single worst way to handle, just, *all* of that. Good job, WWE. I really don't think wrestling is for you if you thought this was poorly executed.

Triple H is probably one of the best choices to work with Sting at WrestleMania. He's who I've been hoping for if Sting must face somebody. Triple H will bring his A-game to that. Yeah. He's a big, important name. He can protect Sting. He's probably one of the wrestlers most likely to carry Sting to a good match. He will put him over.

Watch Triple H form the Alliance To End The Cenation Only if they bring back the Doomsday cage.

Can we all also just take a moment and realize Stings like 10 minutes on WWE TV just completely blew his 10 years in TNA Out of the Water and into F***ing space? LOLTNA TNA has a bad tendency of making someone seem like just another guy.

But Renee told us there would be a Fallout? And Vince was supposed to be on it? That is what I came in here to ask. It is on the schedule but not accessible until AFTER the replay/West Coast showing. That is f***ed up. Anyway, that main event was simply amazing. Here's what I don't understand... I have the Network. I saw it live at 5pm my time. West Coast gets everything live... which sucks because we cannot do the Second Screen stuff because they air it 3 hours later. Even on PPV, it's a live feed.

LOLTNA TNA has a bad tendency of making someone seem like just another guy. Which is why I feel like when I see Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, The Dudleys, if ever, in the WWE Again, it's gonna be the same sort of reaction.

I know but they've got to break the average customer of the habit of having immediate access to a replay. Remember, a lot of people are f***ing stupid. There were countless reports of people calling cable companies, satellite companies and even ISP to try and subscribe to the Network. Those same people expect an immediate "live" replay, even though they could go into the VOD and watch it or start the thing from the beginning at any point in the show. WWE tried to run post game stuff for a few and judging by the people complaining on some of the news sites, where you'd expect a some what smarter fan to be, it is going to be a long progress.

Gotcha. No way I'm staying up just for a short post show that will now be taped... ha.

I wish you could just toggle a setting on the App that allows you to choose West Coast feeds or true live. Because I have satellite TV, which means I get the East Coast feed for all the cable channels, so I have Raw live anyway, but I can't use the WWE App because they think I'm not getting it for another three hours. *sigh*

So, this is the entirety of WWE.com's write-up on the main event -
Notice a distinct lack of mention of somebody?

If I remember correctly, it's set by IP. I have satellite as well. So yeah, I don't get to use the app either.
