You have seven talented guys in one match and that's what you come up with. Just mind boggling.

Obviously wrestling is scripted, but the hyper-choreography in that match took me out of it. I can just imagine someone unfamiliar with wrestling seeing such blatant bullshit and laughing at it. Simultaneous suplexes, that little duck-duck-goose game in the middle of the ring...come on.

I thought it was quite good up until the last two minutes with a seriously gassed Braun and Roman stumbling around.

Simultaneous suplexes, that little duck-duck-goose game in the middle of the ring...come on. You know in those old TNA X-division matches where one guy would hit a big spot on another guy, then a third guy would hit a bigger spot on the first guy, then a fourth guy would hit an even bigger spot on the third guy, then the second guy would recover enough to hit one last spot on the fourth guy, and all of this would happen in about eight seconds, but because everything flowed so smoothly it all looked really cool and everyone loved it? That was not this match.

Seriously disappointed by this match. I don't care that Roman won, but I do care that the match had such a plodding pace, the crowd didn't care, and Braun eliminated five guys in the exact same monotonous fashion. The gauntlet match on Raw and the women's chamber match were both much better.

that's what my feeling is. I don't even care that Roman won, but the booking was just meh. Aside from a quick fury from Finn, the match was just Braun destroying people until he ate spears. REally only person who looked good was Braun Which is especially goofy as this was clearly setup to have Roman look strong going into Mania...

Once Braun came in the match turned up but the minute it was Reigns, Rollins and Strowman the match turned down again. It didn't feel like it was a match set up to make everyone be relevant but mostly set up to make Reigns as strong as possible and then Strowman in a secondary position. Although in a sense, it doesn't make sense that Reigns should have beaten Strowman after all that happened.
Rollins, Miz, Cena, Balor and Elias were just guys who were beaten.

I didn't mind the match, but I love the use of "buns" as a descriptor of quality.

I would have used the term "buttsauce" but I actually thought it was marginally better than the women's match, or really the rest of the show in general.

Several of the spots actually felt like Deja Vu from the women's match. The pacing in the women's match was awesome. Here I was checking the clock pretty often and tempted to fast forward. Way too much lying around.
I will grant them this, Roman used 5 finishers in quick succession before pinning Braun so at least there was that. It's not like Roman got thrown around and landed one f5 and got the win (yes I still think that was garbage).
That said, even Braun wrecking people was kinda boring and I love Braun.
Miz was completely ineffective for about 5-10 minutes at least. They started with a triple threat and instead of having an exciting 3 way it was Miz tries a move, misses is on the ground for a bit while Seth and Finn do their thing. Miz tries another move and misses, etc etc etc.

The biggest travesty, since it was predictable in all other aspects, is that Elias didn't sing in the pod.

I thought it was pretty good once Miz climbed the pod and Braun threw him off but leading up to that it was boring and stupid. The spot where Miz is surveying the crowd to see who he should give a DDT to the neatly kneeling opponents was the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a match. His DDT is not iconic, this is something a face might do (the way he engaged the crowd) and guys who kick out of multiple finishes were stunned for a minute off weak offense (I think indestructible Roman had taken like one move before the set up).

The highlights for me were Braun bashing Miz's face into the glass and the other participants hitting Braun with finishers to try to keep him down, but yeah, the match should have been paced better. Elias singing in the Chamber before the match started was great, though. Anyway, onto the BUNS: ![](https://pm1.narvii.com/6588/aa45cb6edc1e4d4b43ffabb6147366e59e6c14e2_hq.jpg)

The match was a ton of fun, but the ending sucked as much as anything could possibly suck.

Pretty boring chamber match with a predictable victor that no one wanted to see win.
Elias and Braun got the biggest reactions of the match.
Roman did nothing spectacular at all, got booed yet wins. There's no helping Roman get over as a hero.

Yeah it was awful alright. But I think the main thing that made it so awful was the fact that we knew who was going to win going in and that took away a lot of the enjoyment we otherwise might have had. Oh and why was The Miz even in this?
