[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Solid, seven?

[Abdullah]

Primo looked hot.

Rusev Day are back together.

Bryan/Almas was tight.

The Miz/Maryse angle got heat.

That Paige joke was funny.

That New Day celebration was something.

And they seemed to be rethinking their Becky mistake. Maybe.

At least a 7. Everything was good. Nothing but Becky was great.

[The Unconquered Sun]

Never go full Saxon/10
Honestly 7, was a really good show over all but Carmella was just awful tonight

She's getting way more main events than someone of her ability should get. I only stuck through the match to see Becky.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Didn't watch the whole show so I can't score it (came in at the Bryan/Brie promo), but duuuuuuude... Bryan v Almas on TV? *chef kiss*

[theironyuppie]

Naomi/Billie was bad, but it was also very short. Enjoyed the rest of the show--they seem to be making Charlotte/Becky less classic face/heel and more two badasses wanting to destroy each other for justifiable reasons--hoping they get a HIAC match, as it already feels like a very heated feud. Almas/Bryan was quite the teaser for a full match in future, too. And King Booker's return was some inspired silliness.

[Deleted]

Skipped it. Forgot it was even on.

The New Day celebration with King Booker was cute.

I didn’t think The Colons were still employed.Good for them.

If I was on the main roster I’d contact Dave Meltzer and have him say something horrible about me publicly because the IIconics were struggling to get on tv they were pretty much enhancement talent that got some promo time and now their on tv 2 weeks straight and they’ve both gotten their 1st tv singles wins.

I’m disappointed in Paige for the fact that she didn’t punish Brie for punching Miz.Constable Barry Corbs wouldn’t let that kinda stuff fly on his sports entertainment branded vehicle.

I still don’t care about Jeffery Hardy or Randall Orton.

I do enjoy the fact that this show has some likeable people on it.

I know she’s banging the champ but this Wendy Styles overpush is disgusting.

My buddies girlfriend is convinced that Charlotte only got the title because of her new boobs I can’t 100% tell her she’s wrong.

I’m glad Becky keeps getting consistent reactions cause SDL crowds can be pretty dead.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

Skipped. Felt meh about the overall product after yesterday's Braun nonsense (Braunsense?)

Maybe I'll check it out in a few days if I can go all New Day and find my lost positivity.

[schma]

I was there tonight and there were a lot of fun moments and some parts that dragged. I remember in the Carmella match at one point someone yelled "we still have an hour and a half of wrestling to watch, NO MORE REST HOLDS".

Though I was surprised and a bit impressed by her suicide dive and a few other moves she pulled off when she wasn't just doing rest holds.

Also, while I am fully on Becky's side I felt a bit bad when they're showing the replay of Becky beating the crap out of Charlotte while she's still laid out and the crowd starts chanting "you deserve it" at Charlotte. Becky definitely got a hell of a pop and the crowd was firmly on her side.

I do wish I could have heard the commentary for "you've gone full Saxton on me". It was nice to see Booker T's surprise return.

I was shocked by the Colon's surprise return. I'd genuinely forgotten they were still working for WWE.

I was disappointed that Rusev day weren't in ring but I was glad that they seem to be on the same page. Speaking of Paige, I liked her a lot more tonight and the bit with Daniel was humorous.

Overall I had a good time, 205 had most of the crowd there since they were sticking around for the main even of AJ/Jeff vs Joe/Randy. The crowd was kinda dead for a good chunk of it apart from a few moments here and there but the Kallisto vs Buddy Murphy match got some love.

The one really weird thing was the pacing of the show. Somebody would come out and then the show must have gone to commercial break because they'd play WWE ads while the person just kinda stood around for a couple minutes. It's been a while since I watched full shows regularly but is this normal now?

Edited to add a score.  I went with 7/10.

[schma]

Also, I think I might finally know which one is Billie and which is Peyton now, so that's something.

[Rave]

Watched the rather dreadful opening segment, then skipped out as my Neverwinter update was almost finished downloading. Therefore, this gets a barely watched from me.

Yep, I consider myself one of Carmella's biggest fans here but even I thought that match was terrible. And I thought her match with Charlotte a few weeks ago was decent.

Show gets a 7 from me as well.

[Cronant]

As I said in the actual thread, Carmella has very clearly outperformed Charlotte since Charlotte came back. She has been off.

Carmella did have some impressive moments last night.  The suicide dive was textbook and not what I expected from her.  However, she did rely a bit too much on rest holds.  There were even shouts from the crowd to stop using rest holds at one point.
