I wouldn't say the OP overreacted but you're right. It is hella crazy when people react like the sky is falling and go all insane about it. Seen it before! |

I like Cope, but I'm not sure what they thought about putting 50 year old him with the fourth best member of the House of Black.

This f***ing guy was spitting up blood and the match went on for like seven more minutes! It was a work. Everything after that moment was Edge focusing on Buddy’s body. Every bump mattered to the audience, because now we were unsure what kind of damage could come of even the simplest things. And that created stakes. Beautiful sell by all involved, and the rush to commercial was icing on the cake. |

It's gonna be a new thing though going to roll some dice next week and see what I arbitrarily decide to hate for the sake of an 'I survived' thread now.

It can't possibly be longer than Edge vs. Orton at Mania though... right?

Beautiful sell by all involved, and the rush to commercial was icing on the cake. Ok cool. The next question is then does a random-assed Edge vs. Buddy match on Dynamite need such an elaborate booking strategy? It’s just a different kind of overbooking IMO. it very clearly created a disconnect with the viewers which is never the intention when booking. 🤷🏻♂️ |

People here are saying they liked it, some aren't... matches are subjective For the record I also thought it went a bit too long and I don't think it was the plan either given they had to cut a Rampage match later in the show that they advertised, and nothing else ran as long as this did. |

The Buddy blood thing didn't really create stakes for me so much as it pushed me out of the match. At first, it seemed like the reason the match pace just seemed kind of underwhelming, like no actually Buddy's hurt so they're working around it. Then it became me wondering why the match is still ongoing if he's hurt, before giving way to the seeming sight of the whole thing being a weird-ass work and part of the pacing of a match that I found really oddly paced. I have no idea if it was intentional or if they decided he was fine/the blood was from a busted lip or bit tongue or something and he could keep going, but if it was intentional, it pushed me out instead and left me win the "Well that was f***ing weird" place I'm at now with it. I get it if anyone dug it, there's a lot of stuff that with wrestling either mega lands or completely kills a match for you and we're all on varying sorts of opposite sides of that fence on topics, but man, that was just such a weird state to be in all match.

I thought it was pretty good tbh. I saw the title of this thread before seeing the show and was expecting a botch fest or something outrageously stupid to happen and instead got a perfectly solid match with some cool spots that kept the crowd engaged to the point they got an AE Dub chant. Weird. Definitely went too long but Copeland went similarly long with Penta a few weeks back and the card beforehand was light in ring so that didn't surprise me, and the blood spot was weird but it didn't really take me out of it as I just assumed they were setting up for the spear and Copeland being more ruthless since the mist.

Just wondering when did Buddy get a CAW move set? Going from a GTS to a Curb Stomp was a weird choice…
Also hated how Buddy kicks out of an avalanche Impaler but is pinned off of a spear….

It felt like watching a David Lynch film. It was a surreal experience that I'm not sure it happened, it had a little person speaking jibberish and I'm confused after watching it
