Where's that "who books this crap" gif when you need it? The opener was awesome and glad Ziggler is champ again but what the hell was the rest of that sh*t... The show progressively sucked the life out of the audience. To the point where when they got something good again they couldn't care less. I wasn't wowed by Ambrose vs Bray but it kept me mostly entertained. The finish was hysterical though. Just bad imo.

Just came back from TLC. I had a blast sitting there live. My seats weren't the ones that I was used to, but I had a blast either way. My favorite match tonight was the Ladder Match between Ziggler and Harper. I was glad Ziggler won, though I feel bad Harper got a three week title run. Mizdow was entertaining as ever. I guess the feud keeps going since the match ended in a DQ. The stairs match, I honestly missed most of it, because I promised myself I would take a bathroom break during the Big Show's match, and damn it I was gonna keep it, lol. Anyways, I came back when Rowan missed hitting Big Show with the stairs from the top rope when Show was laying on the large stairs. There was a fan who kept chanting "BORING" to Big Show. It was kinda of funny. I was SHOCKED when I saw that Cena/Rollins went fourth, cause I really thought they would be the main event. The match was better than I expected. I liked the run ins with the J&J Security/new stooges. Roman Reigns got a big pop in the arena when his theme hit. I heard his promo afterward. He's getting a little better on the promos IMO, still struggling, but he's improving. The Divas match was good. Nikki retaining was obvious unless the reports of AJ leaving were false. The Chairs match was kinda boring for me. Ryback winning was great. I might not like Kane, but I liked that he put Ryback over, something Big Show couldn't do for Rowan. The US Title match was good. I'm starting to warm up to Rusev. He sold that ankle well from Monday. Of course he beat Swagger. Question is, will the feud last or what's gonna happen with Rusev till Mania? I was so happy that Ambrose and Wyatt main evented. The match was great. I enjoyed it. I loved the spots Ambrose did from the ladder to the table. I honestly would not have wanted Wyatt to beat Ambrose, so what I'm guessing/hoping is that the feud continues in order for Ambrose to get a win against Wyatt, but if reports are true that Wyatt is facing Taker at Mania, Wyatt needs to continue winning. BTW, interesting note for me is that when Wyatt got the win, I saw a lot of people in the section I was in just walk up and leave. To me that was interesting cause normally when I would go to shows, I never remembered a lot of people just leaving as soon as the match ends. The PPV gets a 7 out of 10 from me. If Kane/Ryback and Show/Rowan did not take place tonight, I would have given it a better rating.

I was in the building and without question Ziggler had the biggest reaction of the night. When he won I couldn't hear my brother beside me. And Rowan/Show was ing god awful.

First ppv for me and I wasn't thrilled about the card going in but loved being there live. My voice was gone after the first match as I was super into Ziggler/Harper lol. The rest of it was okay being there live made it super enjoyable though, but I do believe Rollins/Cena should have closed despite me being a huge Ambrose fan and still enjoyino that match. Overall enjoyed it a ton but if I were watching it at home I prolly would have thought it was rather average

Not excited at all for Rumble since I can already predict who will win the title and rumble match ugh True enough but I am all for the Roman Reigns super push.But the booking overall in the WWE is horse crap.Still think that Brock/Reigns is like the 3rd option in terms of a Wrestlemania main event this year if its real all about his super push.Him going over Brock would be a big deal but not truly a "Passing of the Torch" like a match against Cena would be even with Brock being the 1 in 21-1.While the best option that they for sure wont being going with now is a triple threat for the WWE Title with Roman walking in as champion(after beating Brock before WM) going up against the Royal Rumble winner in Dean Ambrose and Mr.MITB Seth Rollins. Both the Cena and Shield triple threat matches up would be better if again the goal is truly to make Reigns "THE MAN" and more so better match ups with more of and out come in doubt in stead of a match against Brock whom everyone knows he'll beat sense he's probably leaving the WWE once again.

I was right, Harper/Ziggler and Ambrose/Wyatt stole the show.. The rest of the card was awful. I guess I'll watch NXT more often...

7/10 for me, awesome opener and great main event with a so-so middle. Man I hope there's a few stars built as potential winners of the rumble instead of just reigns, can't have another totally predictable Rumble like this years.

Okay so I was there live and here's a few tidbits... Ziggler had the pop of the night when he won the belt, that match WAS the match of the night... Reigns return was also very loud and just so very terrible... We started all of the cena sucks chants so thank god u could hear it on tv... Mizdow is incredible and the stuff he did outside the ring was just gold... Rollins should've won but y'all know how this crap goes by now... Entertaining show, I guess Wyatt isn't buried after all

So the main roster's talents are frustrated for NXT results and then this "PPV"... good lord.

I usually enjoy the PPVs that the WWE put on each month but this one wasn't bad but not much better either.
The opener to me wasn't as good as everyone is making it out to be. It felt like a mess that was all over the place at times. Maybe I'll give it another watch and see if I change my mind. The finish to the tag match was confusing but I guess it sets up a rematch. The Stairs match was entertaining at first but dragged on for too long. Swagger and Rusev was a waste of time. I like that Rusev was still selling the ankle during his entrance. Ambrose and Wyatt was a hell of a match, I loved how Bray blew the lantern out and immediately got a ladder thrown at him. The finish was decent, I wouldn't expect a TV to spark up the way it did.
I'd give it 3/5
And how many times did we have to hear 'demolition derby' tonight? That could have become a drinking game.

They really should book the NXT PPV specials AFTER whatever PPV takes place that month because the NXT specials are always going to be vastly better..
This PPV was not great at all..
I only cared for Ziggler/Harper. The rest could have been on Raw for the most part.

Another shining example of when working with John Cena does absolutely nothing to benefit you.And it also proves once again that working with Cena is only going to kill your momentum and career.

Did we all watch the same PPV? I just watched it an aside from Kane vs. Ryback I enjoyed the entire PPV. If you're complaining about Cena winning then you should just leave because it was a given he was going to win after the chance of his title match being taken away was added. You knew he was going to win so don't complain that he did. I thought it was entertaining. I think after Raw I'm gonna stay off here for like a month and see if I enjoy the product more without all of you constantly complaining.

I thought Ziggler and Harper both really went above and beyond to put on a great show. Cena/Rollins was entertaining until it became little more than a vehicle for pushing Reigns. Ambrose/Wyatt is getting a little stale for me. It's not their fault, because they're out there giving their all, but there's just not a compelling story underneath all of the mayhem.
I missed a lot of the other matches, as the show in general just didn't hold my attention the way Survivor Series did. One thing I will say is that whoever is booking the Divas really needs to be canned. It's beyond bad, and the Bellas have been terrible at selling it. This is coming from someone that actually LIKES the Bellas. I thought they were really hitting their stride over the summer and heading into the fall, but it went downhill fast after Hell in a Cell. Although the turn was entertaining initially, I think using Nikki as a heel is a BIG mistake. She was (and still could be) on the verge really breaking out into a mainstream star, but she needs to be a face.
