[07/23] WWE Battleground 2017

[stro]

What show this year was worse?

Fastlane, UK Special (not the tournament, the TV taping condensed into a really shytty special that aired I want to say the day before Takeover WM), arguably Backlash. And none of those are close to all time worst level PPV anyway. If BG had a hotter crowd it wouldn't have seemed as bad for sure. Ring quality was fine, even booking was fine, it's just the ultra hot crowd stopped being ultra hot after 15 minutes of Tye Dillinger.

Meltzer: I want to believe, that if you had like top, ya know like top tier guys, you know like legendary, great wrestlers, that...somehow, they coulda figured out a way to make these matches ok.

Alvarez: Yeah its called those guys would cut themselves, and there would be blood.

Meltzer: *as if delivering new information* ...Well we cant do that now so that's outta the question.

Alvarez: Well then good luck havin a good match in the Punjabi Prison!



They went on to speculate that Summerslam main event may be Jinder and Khali v. Orton and Cena

 

[stro]

Man I'd be down for ANYTHING than another Orton/Jinder match. Including Orton vs literally immobile Khali. Just get Jinder and Orton away from each other, as they have zero chemistry and the heel has been booked to beat the face 3 times straight. Even with cheating, Orton would have no stand to get yet another match with the champ, even in a tag match. The only effort Orton has put into this feud is trying to murder the Bollywood Boyz.

At this point I'd rather have Jinder vs Mojo be the title feud than anything involving Orton.

finally watching

 

[Playaz Eyez]

finally watching

Just watch the tag match on a loop and call it a day

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

said it when he was in NXT...Nakamura won't have good chemistry with everyone...this mostly rings true to anyone who only knows WWE way of wrestling.

 

[R=G]

Watching the women's match..Lana's music just hit...damn that was a pretty big damn pop.

 

[mrken12]

Either this is a poorly done work or they came up with a really bad finish.

 

[stro]

The finished seemed like the pretty normal "guy gets rolled up doing a submission and doesn't realize he got pinned" deal that's been done many times, but the ref was way out of position AND slow during the count as well so it looked bad.
