Then why even have it? All they did was con the ticket and PPV buyers Wouldn't pulling the match last second also be conning the ticket and PPV buyers? JB took a nasty beating and can feud with Luchasaurus before finally getting back to Christian. With respect to both Jungle Boy and Christian, nobody would have been asking for a refund if they pulled it. At least they got a strong angle out of it and they can do Luchasaurus vs. Jungle Boy if Christian needs some time.

Was my most anticipated match going into the ppv, not cool with it at all.

It does kind of make JB look stupid though. Luchasaurus never stopped wearing his heel gear, did not change his heel theme, still had the ruthlessness that he had with Christian, etc. JB seems to have been the only one who wasn’t suspicious. Also, if you look back at all of the segments that happened since Jungle Boy came back, Luchasaurus never at any point laid his hands on Christian.

He said "Luchasaurus understands that I am the only one to get my hands on you", Luchasaurus was there to run interference like with the security guards and trying to cut Christian off, so he played it off as...

It was so over the top heelish that it worked for me. Agree with others regarding the booking and what was or wasn't know about Christian's injury and when.

Jungle Boy got some sick grill marks on his back.
I'd say that is a win.
Why do I want a Whopper now?

Hated it. Hated it. Haaattteedddd it. Don't do this shit on the PPV. Bait and switch is the biggest bullshit in wrestling and this was up there with the worst of it.

As one of the few matches I was interested in, I'd have been pretty sour had I ordered the show and this happened.

Loved it. You can do one of these every so often and then cashed their chips here. OTT heelishness that I am here for.

I didn't mind it, but it seems like TK has to make his feuds convoluted with unnecessary stuff.
It's like I get the swerve with Luchasaurus, but in the end why do that if you're just gonna run the feud back.
It's the same way of "if you were going to have Punk win the title anyway in Chicago, why do the unification match 2 weeks before it?" other than "Punk must win and get the hometown pop" which he would have gotten anyway.
I don't understand the dudes booking decisions a lot of the time.

Can't lie, they got me; I didn't anticipate Luchasaurus swerving everyone.

I enjoyed it, I understand the whole "I paid $50" thing, but a bit of unpredictability is good and it makes sense a heel like Christian would go out his way to screw over jungle boy twice

I liked it and it worked perfectly. Not sure it should’ve been on ppv though.

2 things: hopefully Christian is better, soon, and we know Jungle Boy got that bitchin' hair from his mama. Even his sister has it!!

I don't feel bad I missed this. I pegged the match as one of my piss breaks. I feel worse that I sat out on the suite concourse in a nice chair missing half of Jericho/Danielson. (I thought the Six-Man with Sting would be next...completely forgot CJ/BD didn't happen yet.)

If you're the heel, it makes more sense than waiting until you're deep in the match to have someone interfere on your behalf.
I know it was fun to see Vince McMahon thrown all around and off the cage at St. Valentine's Day Massacre in 1999, but was it really smart for Vince to wait that long to have Big Show interfere? Same with Cena/Laurinaitis at Over the Limit 2012. And plenty of other matches, some not even involving Big Show.
I suspected the turn was coming, and when it happened the way it did, I was like, "Yes! Smart move, not playing the stupid game this time."

Luchasaurus throws away a possible life long friendship so he can become Christian's blunt weapon and minion? How does he muster enough brainpower to even walk?

I think breaking up the Jurassic Express to turn Luchasaurus heel is Vince McMahon shit
I hear Christian was injured so they couldn't do the match, sure whatever, and they'll have a reunion later. But I think this is an impossibly stupid thing to do with a pure, goodhearted babyface act, and that in trying to elevate Jungle Boy to the main event (which by the way I think is too early) you didn't need to kill the Express too.
Sure, I didn't see it coming. But surprising does not mean 'good'

I noticed the massive brace that Christian had on his right elbow and wondered if the match was short because he was hurt.
