Cena and Rhodeses vs. Sandow/Real Americans appreciation

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

I didn't catch their match on Friday so I can't compare them now, but that Raw affair...hot damn. Cody's on fire, Goldust has found himself again, Cena and Cesaro brought it as usual, and Sandow was on point.

Also, I like how Del Rio and Coulter still hate each other's guts.

[Instant Classic]

uhhh and Swagger is awesome!

The beginning had kind of a dead crowd and didn't do much but it built beautifully to one hell of an ending sequence. I was bummed about Cena coming back early but the man is on fire in the ring, the match with Sandow and the two 6 man tags were great in large part due to him. As I said in the Raw thread, he's loose and having fun, busting out some different stuff, probably enjoying working with some different people with less pressure.

That was honestly a top five free TV match of the year. The finish was insane. I even enjoyed the commentary with everyone making fun of Del Rio's repetitive vocabulary.

I think that might have been the first time we've seen the Final Cut since Goldie came back and it definitely had a more Cross Rhodes-like snap to it, though that could've easily been on Cesaro's part too. I marked.

[Lance Uppercut]

I like how Cena just started adding random ass moves and ridiculously complex transitions into his set of moves. It's like being with all these fresh midcard talent is motivating him to try more wacky stuff.

The Ugly Hurrican rana seems to be a regular move now.

[Bo Rida]

Great match but I thought the commentary ruined it.

Awesome match, I don't know if I'd rank it top 5 though.

We've had Cena vs Punk, Hell No and Cena vs The Shield (not the elimination match), Rhodes Dynasty vs Shield, Hell No and Kofi vs The Shield, Hell No and Taker vs The Shield, D-Bry vs Cesaro in that gauntlet, Usos vs Tons of Funk vs Real Americans, and the 11 on 3 handicap match (I thought it was fun), as contenders for the top 5.

Cena's moveset grows. Damien Sandow gets showcased aand real americans continue to be great

I want cena vs cesaro 30 min showcase match

It is damn insane how many awesome TV matches we are getting nowadays. It's averaging out to at least 1 a week that is, at the very least, good.

Any match involving the Real Americans should get an appreciation thread. They've made Tons of Funk & Khali matches VERY entertaining by virtue of the big swing alone.

On the SD match they teased Cena getting swung, which definitely got me into it.

I somehow was even more bored by Del Rio than I normally am...and that's damn hard to do. Nothing against anyone who does like him, but I just don't get ADR at all. In ring (unless he has a good opponent), promos, presence, commentary, there is absolutely nothing to him, it's just mind numbing. Especially when Colter was being great on commentary I found during the match.

Amazing amazing match. I easily gave it **** and is easily in my Top 10 WWE Free TV matches of the year, in a year full of epic matches week after week. The tension was built perfectly, Cena is busting out a load of new moves, THE SWISS DEATH FROM CESARO (somehow listing Cena up even further than he did on SD), Cena being the face in peril for once and the whole final 5 minutes way out of this world.

I really enjoyed the episode, I also liked BigE/Orton and Harper/Punk match wise.

Man I am not looking forward to doing the Countdown lists at the end of the year, especially for Match of the Year and Free TV Match of the Year. So many choices!

[Rican]

Great match. So fun to watch. This was the main event to me, I don't care about the Big Show stuff and just turned it off after this.

I'll just say that whoever the agent in charge of tag teams/6 man matches is they're knocking it out of the park. Tag matches are the best thing about the WWE most weeks.

I'm just trying to figure out how to say Rhodeses properly.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I love that the Rhodes brothers are dragging great matches out of everyone, regardless of their own capacity. Cena is amazing when he has his working boots on, but rarely brings them to Raw, and here he was, elbow pad and all, saying 'f*** it, Goldust is twice my age and he's looking badass, I'm doing a goddamn crossbody CAUSE I CAN'.

This has probably been the best year for good Raw/Smackdown matches since 2009, when Smackdown/ECW was good. It may be one of the best years for TV matches ever.
