Arena Pro Wrestling Discussion

Randy Orton with the sick burn on Brock, but talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

 

Battleground was awesome, only a couple of duff moments for me (the IC match and the Highlight Reel). Other than that it was cracking. MOTY candidate with Zayn and Owens, Enzo killing it, Ambrose retaining and Bayley coming up.

Did anyone else think Reigns had put on weight? Looked really cumbersome.

The Uso's faces, when they had to lift Ambrose into the air lol

 

Zayn v Owens is the best WWE match since Punk v Cena MITB 2011. That brain buster on the apron though....Cole's reaction was priceless; he was genuinely shocked. It will be a crime, if that match doesn't get 5 stars. Never, ever seen a WWE crowd stand up and applaud during a match - it was like watching a NJPW match. Whoever was the agent for it, isn't being paid enough by Vince.

Seriously. A masterpiece.

Enzo & Cass + Cena v The Club probably the best booked 6 man tag since The Shield days. Everyone came out looking strong, which is very rare for a six man tag match. I agree with heels1785, this one of the best PPV's this year and probably in the last five years, too.

 

I would say the two dud matches were duds because of sloppy booking, not the talents fault. Poor build up for Natty and Becky and that disaster of an ending for the IC match.
That belt comes off almost as worthless as the seldom defended tag team titles.
Speaking of the tag team champions, doesn't it seem like the New Day/Wyatt feud picked up a ton of steam last night. The story telling in the match was great. Shame it's over now with the split. It could have gone on a couple more months after the momentum they gained last night.

I have no idea what happened with the IC match. The ending looked botched to me.

 

When Old Man Backlund is involved, it will usually be botched. ::Kurt Angle face::

I told my friend this would be the most meaningless ppv we will watch in years, because of the dead end storylines. Still enjoyed the show though.

Del Rio is reportedly leaving WWE (again)

 

Say whaaaaaaaaaat?

Probably for the best.

 

He's unhappy and Hunter blocked his push.

 

Exactly. From what I can gather he was a lot happier out of the WWE and seems to have gone back to the same situation he was in before left a couple of years ago.

Paige'll be devastated...

 

Apparently they've broken up.

Del Rio more or less admitted he only went back for the money because AAA weren't paying him properly/or enough.

 

I think The Shield will reunite at some point, but with a new name/gimmick.

 

The Shield v The Club. Guaranteed.

 

How long has it been since The Shield broke up? Did they ever formally split or did Seth just leave? Ambrose and Reigns could protect each other's shortcomings in a tag team, but they're horribly exposed in singles matches imo.

Have they turned Roman yet? Could Ambrose ever be a heel now?

 

I think The Shield just kind of fizzled out after Seth's turn. I thought that we'd see Reigns and Ambrose teaming up last night, but instead we got Ambrose and Rollins combining to put Reigns through the Spanish announcers table. Can't see Ambrose and Reigns being buddies now.

Roman is still face for now. If Rollins gets backlash from Steph for not bringing the title to Raw I can see him going face at Summer Slam.

 

Oh, I agree. Rollins as the no.1 face on RAW is money, with Balor as the heel backed up with The Club.

 

I don't see them turning Balor heel, at least not for a long while. But I hope I'm wrong.

Watched Sami v Kevin again. It has to be five stars from Meltzer, best WWE match in years.

 

Doesn't surprise. He's much better off outside. Del Rio's work inside and outside WWE is like Night and Day.

 

I just watched the KO/Zayn Battleground match to see what the fuss was about...

KO is still very sloppy, nervous, and still makes no attempt to hide his leg slapping when he delivers kicks, constantly turns his back on his opponent, etc, while SZ is overselling, overacting, beckoning to the cheap seats like an am-dram ham. KO isn't there when SZ delivers the springboard whatever-that-was to the outside and runs underneath to catch it far too late, making it look like a botch, but then the injured arm is the story of the match. Confused as to what I'm supposed to think, is it a worked botch or a botched work or some sort of inverse botched worked botch, or was it a botch incorporated into the match? Failed finishers galore. SZ forgets his injured arm for the unrealistic simul-punching and Hulks up at the end. Not impressed.

I mean, it was okay. A WWE sanitised version of RoH's high-spot-heavy/light-on-realism style, I guess. I'm not invested in the story line and I don't rate either wrestler very highly, so maybe you need to be endeared to them to get a five star buzz from it.
