Great call.tl;dr if you have a mask, all else being equal, you're a hotter free agent because replica masks sell
In all seriousness though, before he came to WWE but after his CMLL contract ran down, Mistico/Sin Cara might have been the hottest free agent (if he even counted as one, I have no idea really). Guy was a ridiculous draw in Mexico.
The E and both Mistico probably deserve equal blame for not making it work, a lot of money left on the table with him never getting over like he should.
At least we got those amazing penis t shirts out of it.
A match with Tamina starting a PPV? Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.

Yeah poor all night and looking online, the same for others, strange as I never have issues. Not a fan of the fact that the one match where it was perfect was the most boring match of the night betweenn Charlotte and Bella twin,

Enjoyed the Wyatts vs. Titans match more than I thought I would. Big Show and Luke Harper were great. Rybacks hot tag vs. Harper was great.
...was great till the point where it looks like Ryback ****ing injured Harper by not actually locking around Harpers neck and landing him hard on the shoulder.
FFS Ryback wtf.

Haha holy ****. Brie vs. Charlotte had some stiff as **** kicks in it, quality match. Best match Bries been in by a million years. She's was pretty messy in two spots but that was a good match.
Is... Charlottes divas title run the GOAT?
Spose that's a bit like saying Tamim is the best bat ever for Bangers. Probably true but not massively impressive outside of that specific lacklustre context.

Was just thinking this. I mean yeah they're making the calf crusher looking legit as **** but did the styles clash need to be kicked out of at the end of the match with a near immediate pin?
Decent match and great selling by Jericho at the end.

I've mostly caught up on what I missed and I'l say this: it was still a solid ppv imo. However, it almost got worse as it went along. US title/Divas's Tag/IC title was a very solid set of matches. From there, it struggled, and although the Main Event was good, the pop Dean got from the crowd when he smacked Roman with the chair was louder than the pop Roman got for actually winning. So you know...(the main event is a loaded issue, obviously)
There were some curious booking decisions, both from the agents in the matches, and from Vince/creative heading towards WM.
I talked about it before, but I thought Del Rio's tactics in the 2 falls match were very weird. I just figured after he disqualified himself with a chair shot, he'd go to work on the arm and lock in an arm bar and you get a quick tap before he breaks his arm sorta thing, so you build the psychology that way, and it's 1-1 with one guy giving up a point to cheat, and one guy giving up a point to save himself for the last point. Instead we got double stomp....and more double stomps, with Kalisto just hanging there on the ropes.
And then you had the Styles clash thing. I just think you should build it so the Styles Clash basically gets the kill if delivered, but make it clear that it can be a hard move for AJ to lock into and it can often be reversed. One of the cool things about the Naka-AJ match at Wrestle Kingdom is that Naka kicked out of a Styles Cash, which was a big deal because almost no-one had done that in NJPW, but also the Style Clash used was very quickly set-up and it wasn't a perfect one, AJ didn't get the back leg locked in, so Naka didn't kick out the very best Styles Clash. But Y2J just did. And then he tapped. That's pretty silly from what could be an elite finisher.
And obviously, you had Roman being in the Kimura lock for like 30 seconds, and then taking 2-3 chair shots, and then spearing Dean and getting the pin. Which is pissing off a lot of people.
I thought it was weird when Sasha and Becky celebrated and left it at that, with no turn or a hint of anything. I figured something might happen there. And then they did the same with AJ-Y2J. And nothing was set-up or hinted at in the triple threat, apart from the obvious Roman vs HHH thing. And also the stare down between those two sucked. Remember when Roman, you know, destroyed HHH last time they were in a similar sort of position as they were tonight? Roman just stood there. No punch. No spear.
I get that there's 4 weeks of Raw, and hopefully 4 weeks of Smackdown, to help set everything up, but it seemed very slow.
