5 star match to me.

-great story telling
-great work in the ring
-compelling, and perfectly booked finish where all 3 come out looking stronger
-various possible fuels and story lines can come out of this
-considering the poor build, the IWC seemingly giving this match rave reviews, is impressive



does Meltzer give it 5 stars?

I wouldn't describe Reigns sloppy and careless work in the ring as great.

i was really enjoying the match up until when seth came in. fukk MITB.

but the match was excellent. i just love watching brock in action. he's the guy that makes it real. the last of a dying breed. a pro wrestler.

roman's smiling was a bit weird though. kinda get what they were going for but I'm not sure if roman conveyed it the way it was meant to be. he didn't have that pissed off "yea come get me I don't give a fukk" vibe... instead he had that mankind "I just got thrown off a 30 foot cage but I'm still having the time of my life" face on. like he was deranged.

best match of the night, but the match with brock always is.

It was real entertaining but I would even struggle to give it 4 stars...

Just for example; the biggest spot of the match was Roman spearing Lesnar when he had Seth on his shoulders. And for the occasion Roman delivered the shyttiest looking spear of his career when it mattered most.

Because it was so entertaining and interesting, I wouldn't give it less than 3 stars tho.

3.5 stars.

It's at least 4 and something for sure in Dave's book. Gotta be. Has Meltzer given anything other than Ibushi v Nakamura 5 stars yet this year?

This match had more twists and turns story-wise in it, and bigger stakes, but I don't know if the wrestling was better than the work :dannymura:put in.

I'd say 'Probably'....















































but that could change at any time :lolbron:

reigns did exactly what was needed. I'd have to watch again but I don't remember him being careless. more stiff then careless.

I have yet to hear a bad word on this match that isn't nitpicking.

punk botched a cross body at mitb2011 and that's still a classic.

Both were fighting stiff as hell and it really helped make Roman look like someone who might be able to take him down.

Also, I don't know why people were confused with Roman's smiling. I took it as him taunting Brock (who always has that shyt-eating grin when he destroys someone) which paid off when Brock carelessly stormed at him, allowing Roman to push him into the ring post and turn the odds more into his favor. shyt was simple but effective story telling to me.

I'd say 4.5. The match was great and I was fine with Rollins cashing in but Lesnar should have won.
