True millenial goals.

Yeah this is the dream.

Overall Revolution was a decent PPV with some real banger matches. Although I do agree the main event was a bit weak and the Deathriders story must end soon.

But in defense I think it must be horrible to go on after a Will Ospreay match

Just watched it. Some bloody good matches, but honestly my favourites were the Hangman vs MJF opener and the Toni vs Mariah May bloodbath. I normally hate these ultra-violent wrestling matches, but this one worked because it had such a deeply emotional saga behind it.

There were too many near falls/false finishes in the Kenny vs Takeshita one for my taste, and the blade job and wanton violence in Ospreay vs Fletcher didn't really have much of an impact on me after the desensitising effect of the Toni/Mariah match.

Swerve and Ricochet put on a bloody good show as well. I think it slips under the radar how explosive and athletic Swerve is because of the presence of so many flashy aerialists on the roster. But he has a tremendous vertical leap and generates a lot of power and propulsion off his legs when he's doing moves off a standing start. Also a multidimensional wrestler who can wrestle different types of matches.

I hope Mox is going to drop the belt to him soon but I can sense a Prince Nana screwjob being set up.

Mercifully I skipped through the main event until the final few minutes, so I didn't end up suffering the sense of deflation others seem to have done by watching it.

Yeah it was above my usual threshold for gore and I'm not in a hurry to see a match like it again, but Storm vs May was a great match despite the style.
