I keep thinking about how fun it was to watch. TBH it kind of felt like Godzilla vs. Kong: Wrestling Edition or a superhero fight. They can't do it all the time, but once and awhile something that bordered on absurd like that match can be just fun.

It was a ton of fun especially all the crap with the tractor. With that said though Roman constantly getting up was ridiculous. And when it was over he wasn't even selling at all which was equally ridiculous considering all he went through. Even Hogan in his heyday would be like "you're booked way too strong brother". I personally loved his suspenseful last-second ,between 9 & 10, barely get-ups. Looking like a sloshed dude trying to keep it together.

Speaking of changes, how many shots did we see over the head with foreign items? Belts and briefcases to the dome all night. Haven’t seen that in awhile. The one with the piece of wood when Brock hit Roman and just went face first to the ground looked vicious

Have these (protected) headshots in the arsenal for big matches and moments, but don’t spam them in every beatdown so it’s just like “hey another headshot… meh.”

Just seen the highlights.
Brock starting off by jumping off the tractor is some superhero stuff.

Just seen the highlights. Brock starting off by jumping off the tractor is some superhero stuff. Even before that, after Brock announces himself and throws the mic to Roman who snatches it one handed like Dottie Stinson in A League of their own. I hadn't watched wrestling since before the pandemic and last night I fell in love all over again.

I still can’t believe the phrase “And then Brock suplexed the ring” is no longer 1) hyperbole, or 2) a joke.

For gods sakes, I wish I didn’t hate this dudes booking for like 80% of his entire singles run.

Thought Brock killed that Uso when he belly to bellied him directly onto his forehead.

This minor thing bugs me:
People are talking about how Roman caught the mic like a boss when Brock literally threw it perfectly right into his hand. Just like the match, it was two dudes in top form making a moment together.

First time I’ve enjoyed a Roman v Brock match since their first one. It was insane. That last few minutes were mental and Brock looked like an absolute boss in defeat.
The tractor tipping the ring over was one of the damnest things I’ve ever seen.

The first time Theory hit Roman with the briefcase, there was the bonk of the case hitting Roman in the face, then a metallic clang that I think was the back of Roman's head smacking the barricade. It sounded horrid.

This was the true pinnacle of Roman & Brock, and I saw someone refer it earlier, and I used the same term in my podcast: "Chekov's Tractor" and my co-host also pointed out the classic ringposts and we knew the ring was gonna get destroyed.
The one thing that bugs me is semantics and/or a technicality of the rules of an LMS match, and that being with the Bloodline piling everything on top of Lesnar, shouldn't the ref have waited until they stopped "attacking" to count, or is this a story-telling tactic given how MC was shouting to count faster? That one little detail irks me, but then again, Roman is truly the heel of heels because of it, so maybe this was on purpose, but I keep thinking about the video game version of LMS matches and the uninterrupted count, but it's got me thinking so much, so I guess it succeeded.
I gotta say I do love how up-in-arms R/Squared Circle was with their responses of "Roman is officially the most protected talent on the roster" and "I don't ever wanna hear say 'Super Cena' was more protected.
