I watched with a friend who stopped by and never watched wrestling before ever, so he didn't really know anybody. Most of the night was explaining who the people were, trying to explain feuds (he laughed at the Rusev v Cena stuff) and hearing me say: "usually it's in an arena so Sting's entrance would have been more epic, Wyatt's entrance would have been more epic (I explained the cell phones) and Undertaker's entrance would have been more epic (I explained how keeping him off television served zero purpose).
Btw, he LOVED Stephanie, thought she was great. because she is.
Tag Titles- better than I expected. Pointed out how hot Tyson was.
Battle Royal- Meh. I was glad to hear the Hideo chants though. Later on was stoked to hear the NXT chants.
IC Title- Not bad, pretty much what I expected. I told my friend Bryan was the most popular guy in the company and he asked "why isn't he in the main event then?"
Orton/Rollins- Not bad, again, that curbstomp to RKO had us both go "OHHH!" off of the couch.
HHH/ Sting- absolute shite. I don't understand this booking at all. if Sting is going to lose why not just have him face Undertaker anyway this year? It gives him zero momentum if he's going into next year's WM and if this was his only match it makes zero sense for him to lose. Stupid f***ing booking here. No way this makes any sense.
Paige-AJ/Bellas- meh. should have been a fatal 4 way for the title.
US Title- meh. Rusev is badass, but sure hope Rusev can just go back to being the super-athlete/Bulgarian Brute and stop this Russian bullshit. My friend was confused why he had a "gold star medal" from Putin. It was hard to explain without rolling my eyes.
WWE Title - loved seeing Reigns get manhandled. that spot where Brock caught Roman's leg and delivered a shot to Reigns' face again had us going "OHHHH!" off of the couch. Best possible ending outside of Brock retaining. Once Seth won I turned to my buddy and said "this opens up the Title picture so much more now as far as challengers and the many directions they can go". So I was pleased. Roman needed to eat that pin. Not Lesnar.
Some people i think are in afterglow. More power to you, I'm glad people enjoyed the show. It wasn't that great in my opinion. The card could have been miles better, but for what it was it wasn't horrible. I wasn't embarrassed to be watching with a non-fan outside of the Cena Jingoism stuff/Rusev riding in on a tank. Just silly.
