Call me a mark ... other than the bizarre garbage truck gimmick, I found it entertaining. Absolutely. The main event could have gone 5 1/2 hours less, but everyone came out looking better. |

I missed the AJ/Balor match; why is Balor the Demon for this?

Are you sure we don't have that Kane/Strowman junk and the garbage shit with Miz's team even if Roman is healthy? I'm not so sure.
No doubt the match would've been better if Roman was there (which pains me to type, shut up KS), but I don't think it would've been that less of a clusterfuck.
Shield gets murdered with like 90 chair shots & they just pop back up and are back on offense.
Cool seeing Kurt in the ring no doubt, but it was just silly.

What a brilliant post. |

Am I settling? Maybe. But I also see many directions some of this can go. Along with being entertained by the show. Most of my ideas won't come close to happening, and Kurt will job to his son on the Raw after Survivor Series. But, tonight was fun. |

I enjoyed the German suplexes by Kurt, Kane pulling downing the chairs onto Braun, Angle with the Olympic slam and ankle lock. That cluster on the stage and garbage truck made me say "Who booked this shit?" |

Definitely overbooked. But we haven't hit on a main point. The dude running the garbage truck needs to be Ralphus 2.0. Can't find out enough about that dude.

Nah ... they'd already altered the card, they prayed to not alter it further (i.e., they'd already changed two matches, let's not remove the demon entrance too in case the crowd shits on the regular one). Not arguing its validity, I just think it wasn't anything more than that - let's not purposefully screw with the card any. |

You eliminate the nonsense with the chair spot & the garbage stuff and I'd like this a lot more. Completely unnecessary. Just put Braun through a table, don't murder him with 8 falling chairs, then have him pop up like nothing 3 minutes later.
I have zero issues with what Kurt did in the match. He had to be taken out for a time if all the heels were going to do was smash the faces with chairs 90 times. Him coming back & destroying everyone with suplexes & Angle Slams was cool.
You could've cut off 15 minutes easily of that match & it would've been so much better.
Then again, I'm just playing armchair booker.

Angle really humble in that interview. Is that the first time Renee has alluded to Dean as her hubby on WWE programming?

Someone else acknowledged he looked so fucking excited and just giddy to be out there. I said "he tried to be cool, but it wasn't happening." If this was the last time we see Kurt, I'd be pissed. But I have a feeling one last run is in the cards. Just hope he's able. I think Renee has referenced it a few times at this point. |

I don't think it's the last time we see Kurt wrestle. He'll be at Mania I'm sure. Hell, I could see him be at Survivor Series. Use him at the Big 3 shows (Mania, Summerslam, Survivor Series).
He reminded me of the uncle who goes outside & plays basketball with the kids during Thanksgiving & shows off that he can still play. Maybe not hang as well as he used to, but still has something left in the tank.
If that analogy makes any sense.

I'd rank the matches from best to worst in this order. Despite not being a fan of the main event, there was some redeeming qualities in it like I mentioned previously.
AJ/Balor
Emma/Asuka
Main Event
Mickie/Alexa
CW Tag
Elias/Jordan
Kalisto/Enzo

Give him time to get into Mania shape. |

On the Bryan and Vinny show from last night, Vinny suggested that Braun was squished from being thrown into the dumpster and comes back as Otis Dozovic from NXT.
I couldn't stop laughing at that idea.

AJ vs Finn was great, even with no hype. The announcers trying to explain the Bullet Club connection without actually saying it was pretty amusing. The Too Sweet at the end was a great moment.
Something's just off to me about not having Angle wrestle in his regular gear and wasting his pop on coming out with the Shield. It was like a Vince clusterfuck. 5 random guys and Kurt with the Shield. Made no sense but was entertaining. Good show either way.

Alexa was spot on with her analysis...She does have a cute butt. But Mickie looked great too. And Emma was smokin'. I liked both woman's matches.
AJ/Finn was very good. The paint did throw me and I hated that the commentary constantly said "The Demon". Every time, my thoughts went to Dale Torborg/The Demon on Nitro. Or "The Demon" Kane. It was just overdone.
I went past The CW's, JJ/Elias and had a half an eye on Enzo. Haven't gotten to the Main Event.
