What are they actually going to do with Sheamus now he has MITB? When is he going to cash in? Is it going to be another mini Sheamus push that ends once they realise no-one actually cares about him?

Also, forgot to mention in my mini-review of the event, Rollins vs Ambrose was awesome. Nice to see Seth booked strong.

Anyone read wrestling stories from /r/squaredcircle? They are very good to read always. Nice collection.

Haha holy **** KP it was an awesome show.

Cena-Owens a MOTY contender.
MITB a good match, and Sheamus is getting a raw deal from you - his past pushes have been good and if you don't think he's over then what better tool to give him than the briefcase?
Main event would be outstanding on any other ppv that didn't feature Cena Owens

Just hopeful that new day can get the tag belts back. Great show.

Cena has got to go down as one of the greats. Just gonna list some classics as they come to mind

v Owens yesterday
V Rollins & Brock @ RR15
V Punk MITB11
V Brock Extreme Rules 2012
V Rock Mania 28
V HBK Mania 23
V Umaga think it was RR07
V Edge take your pick
V Orton Bragginng Rights 09

If I sat and thought about it I could list way way more. What a body of work. He just piles up classics and has a great match with anyone, yet haters are everywhere.

Not everyone will agree, not everyone in this thread. Not saying he's perfect either but in the ring he invariably delivers.

I mean criticisms of his character, the booking, whatever, completely separate. But to say he can't work...

Cena vs Owens was great, ME was awesome, but the rest was very dull. Didn't agree with the booking, and felt the MITB match was lacking in decent spots. Best spot was Reigns leaping over the top rope, other than that, wasn't the best MITB match. A decent PPV, passable at best, certainly wasn't great though. 2 great matches don't make a great PPV.

Agree RE Cena. Had some phenomenal matches. Still has the odd botch, and does look a bit awkward at times (particularly when executing the springboard stunner) but he definitely doesn't get the credit he deserves in regards to in-ring performance. Big fan of Cena, just hope he puts Owens over in this feud.

I mean the MITB matches just kind of roll into one these days but it was a good match. Two great matches, one good match and the rest passable is certainly more than good for any non mania show. Given that those three matches comprised of about two thirds of the show in length

No show can and should have absolutely top drawer matches all the way through. You need the quieter matches.

Not agreeing with the booking is such an Internet thing to rate an individual show on and there's no point discussing it in detail as I suspect we would never agree - I don't mean that rudely, just ideological opposition points. But my thoughts:

1. I don't like New Day losing the belts because I like to be a mark from time to time and love them. But them losing when they were down to two men is COMPLETELY logical given the way they've got all their heat. They'll get their rematch, with three of them there and my money would be on a quick switch back.
2. Not wanting Sheamus to win is fine but this is where the IWC and their 'bad booking' theories will always fall down IMO. As I said, with the case he can generate heat if it plays out right. I say it almost as often as Jono says he hasn't watched wrestling since 2005-6 but you can't judge an act of booking like that without knowing what comes next.
3. Cena winning makes sense on a couple of levels, given how over it puts Owens doing the whole post match attack and the fact that he did that means we can have a rubber match. Maybe with some gold on the line next time

I know you didn't specifically call out this booking but I thought I'd share some thoughts anyway. Were meant to be brief lol
