The main event was a joke, just like I knew it would be. There was no way anybody but Cena was going to win. Surprised to see the Wyatts all lose but those were great matches so I can live with that. Really disappointed that Rollins/Ambrose didn't happen. Granted it continues the build for their feud but still I felt a little cheated on that one. AJ/Paige wasn't terrible but wasn't all that great either. Just mediocre and I hope that the heel turn for Paige happens tomorrow on Raw. Cameron/Naomi was pitiful but I figured it would be since Cameron was in it. Rusev/Swagger was good but had a terrible finish that practically ruined the whole thing. The IC battle royale was awesome. Lots of cool stuff happened and best of all Sheamus didn't win so the titles remain separate. Oh and did you guys notice that Del Rio rolled under the bottom rope and then was knocked off the apron and eliminated when he shouldn't have been. Yeah that was kinda funny.

Just started watching Battleground about twenty minutes ago. What a great match between The Usos and The Wyatt Family! Hopefully a sign of good things to come for the rest of the show.

That awkward moment when most of the people in the Prediction thread had Jericho winning.. It's not awkward. Half of the predictions for the World title were for Reigns. Which were completely stupid. Fanboy predictions in a wrestling forum mean nothing to me. That awkward moment where a troll goes back under his bridge. Be gone... Very disrespectful, but okay.

I have to say, overall that was like what Raw should be every Monday. Disappointing results that can lead to more stories.

Just finished watching the event. Not a bad show at all, but the weakest of the year in my mind. Usos/Wyatts, Paige/AJ and Jericho/Bray were all great, main event was a bit better than I expected, and while I am upset that we didn't get a legitimate match between Rollins and Ambrose, the progression of the rivalry throughout the night was cool. And The Miz.

sometimes i dont like that i go to friends houses to watch PPVs because i cant get on the threads here. (i hate using my phone to type posts) anyway, WWE really shouldn't be just settling when they are trying to sell a network. i know its like "well you're only paying $9.99" but if the quality is mediocre.... if i paid $50 for this show, wow. Usos/Wyatts was fine, but I feel like it was mostly the same match we've seen from them about 15 times now. Dives, kicks, Big Boots...and Usos win. I kinda hoped Wyatts would finally take the belts, like what the hell are they waiting for? At this point if I'm a fan, why do I even care about the Wyatts? they just LOSE all the time. pissed off that Ambrose/Rollins didn't happen. that crap. save that for RAW not something I'm supposed to be "paying" for. Rusev sucks. The whole thing is stupid....and like Ive been saying, this Swagger face turn is just to get Rusev "over" as a heel. That match again was garbage being carried by Swagger because Swagger is actually VERY good in the ring. Way to go, WWE. Their soooooooo EDGY by showing a picture of Putin on the big screen! nevermind 300 people just died, we need HEEL HEAT. And then in the end Rusev looks strong anyway....so really what's the point? It's Battle Royal was fine. lol at Ryder & Woods being thrown out almost immediately. Just release them already. Such a WASTE. I knew Miz was gonna take it, as long as it gets Dolph away from stupid crap and gets him in a feud for the IC title I'm happy. Damien Sandow's attire legit made me laugh. MATTEL GET ON THAT Jericho/Wyatt was fine. Nothing special, I was legit shocked Jericho won...but it's all good. The idea of a FEUD isn't "one guy wins all the time" which I truly believe these things called writers who work for this company actually think it is. We will see where this goes from here. But its safe to say at this point the Wyatts are now just typical WWE heels...they come out and say mean things, then get beat up by the good guys to send the crowd home happy. Main Event was what it was. No surprises besides Orton's awesome blue truns. Fine match but nothing we're gonna talk about for years. Reigns continues to unimpress....I think he did punch punch boston crab and then a bunch of spears and kicks. Dude might want to expand his moveset a little, maybe play some Smackdown Here Comes The Pain to get a few ideas. I truly don't understand why these live crowds are just eating him up. Overall this show was terribly predictable, actually the entire company is terribly predictable lately which is the single biggest problem. It wasn't a horrible show match-wise, but I don't forsee Battleground 2014 going into the books as a memorable event. Sadly, with the way the product is, they should really be TRYING to make things memorable because in another month or so, they are gonna lose a TON of money.

everyones completely crapping on the show and i thought it was phenomenal. Christ people its wrestling but the knife down sit down relax and have a drink because that was a VERY solid ppv. Usos Wyatts completely tore the house down. Aj/Paige was good. the battle royal was great can't say you weren't thoroughly entertained by it. Rusev/Swagger was very good wrestling wise Swagger pulled the best out of Rusev we've seen so far and ontop of that this is the first win Rusev didn't get clean and lets be honest he wasn't made to look like a monster Swagger had him till a "lucky reversal" Ko'd Swagger and Rusev took advantage of a ko'd swagger great story progression Swagger doesn't look weak at all. Rollins/Ambrose was great story progression again Ambrose is out for blood and being an absolute ing lunatic hiding in the damn trunk of the guys car the blow off at SS will be amazing. its funny people want storyline progression you get it and people crap on it. Jericho/Wyatt was another awesome match people complain Jericho never wins, he gets one which will clearly lead to another match and again people crap on it. Main event was entertaining as all hell you people are too hung up on the winner, the match had constant action, is Roman Reigns a ring technician? no but his moveset pops the crowd and damn was he entertaining in this match. bottom line it was a very good ppv getting crapped on because of who won.

The Miz winning the Intercontinental Championship pisses me off. Dude was gone for months and didn't deserve to win. Much more deserving people in that match.

Meh show to me. I liked Usos vs Wyatts. Didn't like how a double superplex didn't put the usos down but the double frog splash put the wyatts down. Battle royal was ok but disappointed RVD wasn't there Paige vs Aj was ok but I didn't like the quick finish Didn't watch Jericho vs Wyatt Main event was meh everyone knew who was gonna win.
I'd give it 3/5 stars

Just got home from Battleground, I thought it was pretty damn good. Usos/Wyatts was hands down the best match of the night. I don't know how it was on TV, but the crowd sucked for the most part.

"Overcomed." Jesus people. It was done on purpose. "John" and "Won" are also misspelled.

"Overcomed." Jesus people. I'm pretty sure it's like that on purpose because of all the Facebook and YouTube comments. Same thing with the misspelling of John and the use of "one" instead of "won" lol

Good show from a wrestling perspective, but I'm not really that interested to see where any of this goes from a storyline perspective (aside from maybe Rollins/Ambrose)
