MITB match appreciation

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Those dudes worked extremely hard in that match. Props to Del Rio looking like a monster out there, hopefully his injury doesn't put him on the shelf for a extended amount of time. 

There was no "crazy" bumps outside of that f*** Kevin Owens bump that looked like he broke his back. Each guy out there got a chance to shine while not looking out of place.

What were your thoughts of that match? That KO bump tho ouchies.

[Chiral]

I thought it was great, best match of the night for me. I feel like they keep having Jericho in these big multi guy matches to make sure everything goes well.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Damn great match. Shame that Del Rio may have gotten hurt, though. Dude had the working boots on tonight.

That bump KO took, I think JBL called it either insane or stupid and I couldn't agree more. I love me some KO but man, that is one of those things you don't need to do anymore.

I really hope Del Rio is alright.

The match itself was great, cannot say much more than that.

[Lancers]

I kept missing the Del Rio injury on replay, I saw him land on the ropes with his feet, did the ladder ricochet off the back of his head?


I still believe that the WWE has been insanely lucky that, other than the Joey Mercury injury awhile back, nobody has gotten seriously hurt doing these matches. They're one catastrophic injury away from banning these matches.

He landed on the ropes with his feet and then hit the back of his head off the ladder on the rebound. I'm assuming between that and the fall is how he hurt his ankle.

Sheamus blew out his shoulder in one a few years back, that's the most recent injury I can remember.

Dope match, my favorite of the tonight.

Sheamus is the last one I remember getting hurt in the match itself. 

Tho that bump Seth took 2 years could of gone horribly wrong.

I loved that match so much. Just complete and total chaos in the best way possible where everybody involved look great.

Also, Del Rio in particular was f***ing amazing here. If he was that awesome all the time, he'd probably be my favorite wrestler right now.

[Nic Nemeth]

Honestly, it was five guys who always interact with each other and Del Rio, the match was going to be good.

Del Rio really impressed me with how innovative his offense was but even has was second place to Cesaro.

Nothing will top Ambrose winning though.

I think Jericho doesn't actually wanna be champ or a main eventer, he just wants to be allowed to do his job the way he knows how, and build the future.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Also that Cesaro spot early on the match was pretty as hell when he jumped off the ladder into the ropes into a uppercut.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

Great psychology in this one. Better than the usual car wreck spotfests they tend to be; there were a few big (dangerous) moments, but they weren't overdone and only happened when the time was right, which made that insane Owens spot stand out all the more.

Cesaro continues to amaze me with his timing. The guy's got to be wrestling-psychic somehow.

Owens shoving Cesaro face first into the ladder that was laying on the top turnbuckle from Del Rio, right after Cesaro did a round of uppercuts in the corner.

[FinalGwen]

Incredible match for the most part. Cesaro just makes every move look beautiful and seems to be perfectly positioned in the ring at all times, especially that gorgeous springboard uppercut off the ropes, Del Rio was turned up to eleven, Zayn and Owens were perfect as always and did some absolutely crazy spots, with possibly the most painful looking Michinoku Driver ever, and Jericho was there to tie it all together and make everyone else look good.

And Ambrose did... Something, before he won the match. Give me a minute, I'm sure I'll think of one soon. Um... He did a DDT at one point? That's a move, right?

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

At first I was literally considering starting a thread saying 'I am sick of ladder matches.' Then Zayn turned Owens' spine to dust and suddenly they shifted up a gear.
