Twelve Man Tag Appreciation

[543Y2J]

Ok seriously FAN no thread for this? I have been out all day, this was the first thing I expected to see when I logged on (unless I have complete missed it)

This was me during the match.

Start and middle:



Ending 5 minutes:


I know it means absolutely nothing but my personal rating is **** easy. Just amazing amazing stuff by the best up and coming talent in the company, with one or two big players.

Yeah it was really great. It made what I thought was already a very fun episode of RAW into a legit RAW of the Year contender. It could have been the main event, but I think they don't want to put the Wyatts and The Shield on the same team Sunday because they know everyone will expect them to turn on each other and lose the match.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

I know a lot people round here liked it but this RAW had been hard to watch in my opinion. I was getting more and more bored as the show dragged on. Even Curtis Axel FINALLY losing the IC Title - and to a guy I like - didn't illicit much of a reaction from me. Prior to the 12-man tag the only thing that had entertained me was Dolph "Double J" Ziggler but that main event was great. So much fun to watch from start to finish and the ending sequence was extremely good.

I'll be surprised if ANY match at Survivor Series is as good as that. And that speaks volumes about both how good this match was and how shitty Survivor Series looks.

I loved it, and I loved how the Shield kind of refused to work well with the Wyatts. The finish fest at the end was awesome and I marked out for the Hart Attack but was sad when Rey came back

Really good match but not quite up to par with some of the other great tag matches that we've gotten this year, which is to be expected with so many guys in the match I guess.

[Instant Classic]

The ending with all the guys doing finishers was awesome.


Bray Wyatt was awesome in the match for the expressions and stuff.

It really should have been the Survivor Series main event

I forgot to add I LOVED how it was a bait and switch hot tag with Bryan, when in fact the match was actually building even more tension up and eventually to the actual hot tag with Punk. I love tag matches because of inventive storytelling like that.

Also this match had a perfect combination of not only insane badass action but character progression in Shield/Wyatts that was mentioned in the Raw thread. The little things add so much...

I liked that it was beating up Daniel Bryan that finally got The Shield and The Wyatts to bond a little bit. Makes perfect sense, Shield/Bryan has gone on for a year and Wyatts/Bryan is just beginning. Wyatt asking "can I trust you?" was weirdly out of character for him, but in a good way. At one point I think it was Rowan who tagged Ambrose really hard, and Ambrose actually sold the tag, which I marked out for.

Shield/Wyatts has potential to be the best program from a character/story-telling standpoint they've done in ages.

I couldn't feel more in the opposite.

I felt entertained for the ENTIRE THREE HOURS, like I was watching A GOOD TV SHOW, and that's a rarity with Raw, so yeah, I'm up in here APPRECIATING.

WWE may have worked themselves into a corner with this match really. It was just so good I don't know how they are going to top that on Sunday. But then if they get extra buyrates out of it I'm sure they won't care one jot if they do a stupid DQ finish in the main event.
