Ok I like that piece of booking.
maybe a bit weird because he is a heel, but look i'll take it if we can't have Damien.

anyway i'm off now. this has been disappointing, and I was pretty confident it'd be fine. gonna go ahead and guess that roman overcomes the odds....

I kinda like the idea of Corbin as the successor to the fading giants Show and Kane (which I see the battle royal win pointing to, given the focus on Show and Kane in the lead-up). Wouldn't mind seeing an extended build where he retires both of them somehow or other.

The Rock to be attacked by the Wyatts, Cena to run in for a save, big tag match at SummerSlam that Bray inevitably loses.

honestly I think this ha been really good. The matches have delivered. Whether the end booking did or not is fine to be questioned but it's not making it a bad show

Meh, could have done without that segment especially if the time wasted had gone to other matches.

Hurry up and win Roman.

This is bollocks.

All the live twitter peeps are saying Reigns is getting killed here, but Vince desperately trying to drown it out.

this show with pre show close to seven hours, **** sake have some respect for Europeans and UK peeps please.

Curious but perhaps expected. They threw everything they had at the event but most guest appearances had no context and some strange booking. They gave it a good go, they just failed, especially considering the best bit for me was Zack Ryder winning the IC! I would never have thought that Ryder would be a highlight for me.

The ladies put on the best match by miles and was definitely to get excited about in the future. AJ Styles lost to Jericho in 2016 who hasn't meant **** for close to a decade, and his finisher was killed, don't mind stars kicking out of it, but a scrub like Jericho? No just no.

Brock v Dean was short and a little under whelming. not awful, but expected much more. The IC match was ok, although Ryder was an absolute bizarre choice to win, Zayn and Sami much more upside in 2016.

The Andre match was harmless enough, Shaq cameo and Corbin were nice moments even if for different reasons.

Taker v Shane was a mess until the end, props to Shane the mental bastard for that bump.

The Rock segment wasn't needed and that is from someone who loves nostalgia and The Rock in general, and yeah the Wyatts are dorks, creative going to work their are off to get them over again.

The main event was wrestled without a hitch as you'd expect from two solid workers but no heat for the babyface as it was pretty dull, and the length of the show meant you just didn't care and wanted it to end.

The fact that all the live reports and my own ears that WWE creative spent most of the match messing about with sounds to make Roman less booed than he is while sensible from their viewpoint is a bit crap.

A pretty average and predictable show which was way to long, only the divas match worthy of a rewatch.Not good enough really for such a long show.

I oonly saw the ME, what's with the crowd? Sounded ghostly silent. Did the card wear them out? Reading through the results it doesn't seem to have been great for the most part.

Jericho's a gun, and killing the Styles Clash is inevitable. It isn't even that good a move to begin with; flying forearm/calf crusher are waaaaaaaay better finishers for Styles in the Nakamura Era (TM Athlai). And Yoshi Tatsu won't get his neck broken again.
