Battleground (spoilers)

[Larry, The Protege of Pain]

I didn't care for it.

I loved the opening 2 out of 3 falls match. I really want to see the straps on the Wyatts, but I really loved the match, best of the night in my opinion.

I actually likes Swagger and Russev but Russev seems like he's the 100th person to use this gimmick.

The battle royal for the IC title was kind of boring (except for the Kofi parts of course) but I love the way Miz won it. Just hate the Miz.

Main Event.... terrible.  Cena still champ, that's so exciting.

The match I cared about: Wyatt vs Jericho.

Jericho is one of my top ten favorite wrestlers ever. That being said, I didn't like seeing him beat Wyatt. Wyatt is something special and a push from a win over someone like Jericho would have done wonders. This means we'll probably see Wyatt in the Jericho fued for a while.  Maybe they're trying to sharpen up his ring skills before making him a  legit contender for the strap.   

What did you guys think

[Lord Hastings]

I think that once you got past the opening match it was a series of missed opportunities.

- Paige got exposed. I understand she was meant to appear to be "conflicted" but she looked more confused and lost to me.
- Rollins/Ambrose was the match I was most looking forward to. This was handled horribly.
- Rusev bores me.
- Wyatt/Jericho I might have enjoyed better if the show around it wasn't deflating me so much.
- Battle Royals for titles are lazy and non-sensical. Kofi really deserves to actually get to win one at some point though.
- Main Event had a flat ending and felt very much like filler. Which I guess it was. And considering it was all to set up a match I have no interest in seeing (I hate part-timers having repeat matches, if you're only going to have a few matches a year, give me a novel match-up).

In the end it was a show I was looking forward to, mainly for Rollins/Ambrose and Wyatt/Jericho, and I felt like I had the air let out of my tires.

Harper and Rowan absolutely carried the dreadfully overrated Usos to a barn-burner of a match. It was the perfect opener, getting the crowd warmed up. The double superplex by Rowan and Harper no-selling a superkick to hit the discus clothesline were phenomenal moments. The ending was flat, due to the Usos taking forever to climb to the top (and nearly falling several times) for the double splash, which wasn't anywhere near as impressive as it should have been. Also, I'm fairly sure that most of the crowd was as disappointed as I was that they won.

Fuck WWE for not letting Kofi win a battle royal. That being said, the Miz victory was fun. Also, I don't understand Dolph Ziggler's popularity at all.

Dean Ambrose is being horribly misused. They're not letting him talk enough, which is one of his biggest strengths. He had a fantastic "website exclusive" backstage interview post-Raw, where he offered to have his "Friends" Stinky Pete and Fat Tony bust Stephanie out of jail. Classic, wonderful Titty Master talking, and definitely the kind of thing that the television broadcasts need.

Fuck Chris Jericho. He is an awful human being, and everything he does is utterly and completely wretched.

I am excited for Cena to be Conquered, if for no other reason than that it will allow Paul Heyman more things to brag about. I love that man, and would follow "the mad scientist of wrestling" through the gates of hell.

A few thoughts on Battlegrounds:

- The whole Paige/AJ Lee thing is just... blah. No interest.
- Actually enjoyed the Uso/Wyatt match, and yes I was pulling for the Uso's Wayne In fact, Cash was sitting in my lap watching with me and we were both doing the Uso chant. So nyeh. I will say Rowan's double suplex was pretty damn awesome.
- Agree with Steve, I was looking forward to the Rollins/Ambrose match and that could have been handled much better.
- Rusev and Jack Swagger can both fuck off. How the hell those can make it to any PPV card is beyond me. Small tidbit- I call Rusev "Tiny Dancer". Seriously, look at those feet compared to the rest of his body.
- Wyatt/Jericho. Another match I was looking forward to and this one just kinda... fell flat. I don't know if it was because the PPV at this point was pretty meh or what the deal was. But yay Jericho won!
- Battle Royal: Why the hell does Great Khali still have a job? While I admire Kofi's skill in the ring and think he's an incredible athlete, the whole "battle royal" thing with him and deftly dodging getting tossed over the top rope is getting a little old. How many PPV's have we seen it in in the past year? Am I the only one who actually likes Miz? Love how the won the whole thing. Highlight- Sheamus chopping the shit out of Bo Dallas. Fuck yes. Bad News Barrett sighting, yay!
- What are they doing to Sandow and why??! Yes this deserved its own dash.
- Main Event: Should have been looking forward to this cause... Roman Reigns. And I was. Except for some reason, on both times I tried to watch it I fell asleep. First time... after Reigns came out. Second time... somewhere in the middle of the match. It was just too damn predictable, which sadly is what WWE main events have fallen to. Too soon to put it on Reigns, Kane won't win cause Kane, I think most of the fans would revolt if Orton took it back (except AJ), and it's pretty obvious Cena will retain. Oh look... he did.
- FUCK PAUL HEYMAN AND LESNAR. In the ass. With a chainsaw. Just the sight of those two and Heyman's voice can instantly put me in a bad mood.

So yeah there's that. I'm thinking at Summer Slam we'll actually see Ambrose/Rollins. Hoping to see Trips/Reigns. And whatever match Lesnar is in I'll just skip like it's a Divas match.

[Lord Hastings]

Summerslam is going to be Cena/Lesnar, Orton/Reigns, Ambrose/Rollins, and Bray/Jericho.

[Eden Morgan]

For once I'll be pulling for Cena. Wow.

[>V<]

You're not the only one who likes the Miz, because I'm totally a fan. Anyone at odds with Jericho is alright by me.

[Larry, The Protege of Pain]

I like the Miz. He's an obvious prior fan of wrestling and frankly, is in the only postion he'd be good at, an annoying heel. I've always wanted that tactic of hanging outside the ring, not being eliminated to work.

I also don't talk about diva's matches because they're always awful. It's like every diva learns one good move then flops around until one of them does it. Paige might be the grossest thing I've ever seen as well. *Shudder*. I bet Holden Orson would like her though.

[Gian Muh'fuckin' Jones]

Usos vs Wyatt Family -- Shit, look at these Pacific Islander fuckin spirit squad wanna bes. When I say U, you say GOT HIT BY A TEN FOOT TIDAL WAVE MOTHAFUCKA!

Swagger vs Rusev -- Since when is we at war wit da Commies again? Rusev need to stop doin ballet in da fuckin ring and learn to take dat hoe's panties off.

Wyatt vs Jericho -- I ain't got no love when Jericho don't talk smack anymore, so I just close my eyes and piss on da closest one. Fuck dis match.

Paige vs AJ -- Shit, I take both dey panties off and make em have a Teen BFF threesome wit dis big dick nigga.

Royal Rumble -- Nigga, I thought I was black, did you see dis nigga diggin at his panties? Anyway, Kofi Kingston is da only nigga I give a damn about, so fuck off.

Main Event -- Shit I fell asleep. John Cena is the whitest shit I ever seen. He like a dove sent from heaven from God to promise we gon' swing low, sweet chariot, ride dat Underground train to da north, and Mr. Lincoln gone hand us a cadillac...
