So Reigns/Ziggler For FOX's NYE Thing Happened.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

And it was a short but perfectly OK match ruined by Kevin Dunn going crazy with the crowd shots and the cuts to Maria Menunos (I CAN'T SPELL HER NAME).

Roman won with probably one of the nastiest spears I've seen from him yet.

But seriously, of all the times to promote your product to a newer audience, you let Kevin Dunn run rampant?

I really wished they did the match live at Times Square, rather than taped after the show last Friday.

R Truth is on now! Title change?

Mojo Rawley won the 24/7 belt, only to lose it right back to Truth

And this is coming from the "Die, Mojo, Die" user.

Mojo Rawley won the 24/7 Title for the 1st time & Truth won it for the 29th Time since WWE has yet to count some live events Title Changes, so right now it was the the 77th & 78th 24/7 Title Changes.

First belt he’s won in this company, and it’s THAT one. Thought WWE were high on this bloke.

A less is more approach is really needed at times, especially when it comes to the camera work (which has been a problem for years). There was a match on SD a few months ago involving the New Day where a cool spot happened outside the ring and we couldn't see it because they decided to get cute with the camera cuts. Now that I think about it, it may have been the same episode where Roman was almost murdered as he was trying to do an interview with Kayla, and that segment was also f***ed up due to awful camera work.

Let's be real; once WWE realized they weren't getting Rob Gronkowski, they pretty much said "nuts to this Mojo dude" and shoved him into the goober drawer.

Wait, this is a real thing??? I thought this was a joke thread the whole time.

Honestly I don't expect first time viewers to really pick up on stuff like this so I think it's fine.

Could say the same thing about the specific wording in promos, the specific wording on commentary, the thing with the way they watch TV backstage... Honestly, a lot of WWE's production tropes, really.

That said, those are still major issues, especially the stiff promo stuff, mostly since the hope is retention, after all. Even new fans will eventually notice overly rigid patterns.

And no follow up on the Liv/ Lana stuff!!! ?

Thanks WWE

Unrelated, but Steve Harvey is so terrible. I'm embarrassed watching him right now.

Gronk seems like a helluva nice guy though and that's coming from somebody who hates the Pats. Make him a guest host for an episode of SD or something.

The Fiend vs Gronk for the Universal title, you mean?

Gronk is just a jock Jean Ralphio lmao.

My mom was watching the celebration special in general, so this was a rare time she watched a wrestling match. I bet her $100 that Roman Reigns would win and she said "No, I heard he's one of the ones they have win all the time." It was hilarious.
