    Yeah, there was a noticeable break in the middle of the match, wasn’t there? RIP Braun Strowman, who tragically died in the match - he was crushed by a bin man.

    Elias was getting massive heat for his segments, too, but Jason Jordan’s just not catching on at all.

    How can you promise everyone a PowerPoint presentation and then not deliver. You could have shelved Styles Vs Balor for that. I'm glad I cancelled the network now.

    The whole PPV was garbage apart from Balor-Styles which was pretty decent.

    The main event was absolutely ridiculous and made no sense. They fucking murdered a man!

    And I was thoroughly entertained.

    And that image of Kurt Angle coming out in Shield gear with a goofy as fuck grin on his face was moment of the year.

    Alright I'd take that back slightly, that main event was bonkers from start to finish.

    I would say so yes. The opening match was alright, the middle matches were meh, Styles-Balor was pretty decent and the Main Event was just batshit mental.

    I did like how at odds he was with them when he rocked up.

    Definitely give Balor / Styles and the main event (for all it's flaws) a go. The rest I'd judge based on whether you particularly like the people in the match.

    I struggle with most of them tbh. I can't take to Balor... impressive as he is I just see him as a IWC thing like Punk. Most wrestling fans had never heard of him.

    Strowman is the best for me. Then Reigns irrespective of his inability to cut a promo. It takes time.

    Balor does absolutely nothing for me and I wouldn't even need to use the digits of one hand to count how many of his matches I've genuinely enjoyed but last night was really good.

    Fuck off if he wrestled in that and couldn't pull the straps down. It's not even an Angle match if he doesn't do that.

    I enjoyed the main event, am I right in thinking that's leading to a (quite rightly) face turn for Strowman? He's pretty much the best thing on it at the moment. It was nice to see Angle wrestle again although I think it would have been better for him to have had a one on one match somewhere down the line instead of as part of The Shield. I haven't got around to watching Balor v Styles yet but I'll give it a crack at some point.

    I know we have to suspend belief but 5 v 3 with one having not wrestler for "11 years" just didn't do it for me. All in at the same time should have seen 2 v 1 against Ambrose, 2-1 against Rollins and Strowman/Kane breaking Kurts freaking neck. I suppose it is what it is though. It tarnished the return of all three in my opinion.

    He should have been properly turned face when Reigns tried to murder him. If two attempts on his life aren't enough I don't now what is.

    Once they had them down and they were fixed on a few people I liked the way they tried to do it, typical "divide and conquer" stuff like the Shield used to do. The problem was it required half of them to go down to a chair shot or two and stay there for a looooong time. It would have ruined the initial (ridiculous) visual of the three of them surrounding five dudes in the ring and Rollins causing the initial distraction to allow Ambrose and Angle to get about the others with the chairs but I think, faces or not, it would have worked better if they'd jumped some of them and lowered the numbers right away. Come in when Sheamus and Cesaro are entering and chuck them off the stage to have a better reason for being out of it. Something like that.

    While it was obvious that Angle was going to come back out at one point I wondered whether Reigns would be well enough to come out for five minutes at the point when it was 5 on 2. Run in and deliver a couple of Spears or something to turn the tide.

    Lads, it's Kur Tangle, the mans been maturing for 11 years. 3 v 5 was fair.

    It's not a Kurt Angle match until they build a cage half-way through it so he can do a moonsault off it.

    Are all women in WWE allergic to turnbuckle pads? I swear the last 12 or so women's title matches have ended in the exact same way.

    Edit- I could only skim through that main event, it was way too slow to stomach all of it. The Kane/Strowman stuff was pathetic and they showed about 100 replays of both moments while everyone else was presumably having a nap. I'll check out AJ/Balor before my subscription ends in a few days, but yea, no idea what that main event was even meant to be.

    To be fair it would probably be a lot different if Boo Reigns didn't decide to fall ill.

    Yea, it would have been worse.

    It probably wasn't a bad match, but it certainly wasn't anything special and was just a bit too silly.

    Read the Raw results as I won't Want to be arsed catching up on it once I get home. Why is Shane McMahon a heel randomly? Other than because WWE writers don't do logic or understand face / heel dynamics any more.

    Shane vs Angle, perhaps, now that Angle is cleared?

    And then the card will be Lesnar vs MAYHAL (Angle’s clearly never met or heard of him before), the two Raw vs Smackdown matches, Strowman vs Kane, Miz vs Corbin, Shield vs Usos and Natalya vs Bliss.

    I watched Balor v Styles which was pretty decent. I just can't take to him as the Demon though, as though face paint is meant to suddenly change him. He'll go the way of someone like Ziggler I reckon, very good in the ring but ultimately just a decent performer and nothing more.

    I watched little bits of Raw last night and caught the ending this morning. It makes very little sense but it was still a decent enough ending. You know the Raw troops will be at SmackDown tonight to retaliate but personally I would go a different route. Whatever the hyped main event is have the more popular wrestler no show so Shane O'Mac has to call in a replacement of his own, repeat with a few different wrestlers with the end result being it's Angle actually sabotaging SmackDown from afar. Wrestler A gets detained at airport, Wrestler B gets arrested on false charges, Wrestler C gets involved in some accident, wrestler D has to fly home for false family reasons etc. Something is better than a beat down of the lower ranked wrestlers. Steal the title belts from the holders. Plant a few undercover wrestlers or what not. Strip SmackDown to its bare bones, kill the competition like Vince once did. That sort of thing.

    They should just let him paint his face up for big PPV's just because it can look cool, like he did in New Japan, rather than it being for some daft demon thing.

    It's a great gimmick but anyone who thought it would be used properly on the main roster needs their head examined.

    In NXT was it a "this is the final match of a big feud" type thing he did rather than "We need to pretend people care about Bray Wyatt"?

    It's roughly analogous to Hell in a Cell, both in how they should use it and how they actually use it.

    He had matches with the Ascension (tagging with Itami), Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe and Tyler Breeze with the gimmick in NXT. There may have been more but nothing’s jumping out.

    I think we’ve had Rollins, Wyatt and now Styles on the main roster.

    I watched Raw and Smackdown recently with my missus 7 year old boy and 2 of his friends. I now understand the booking decisions a bit after seeing them all loving it as much as I enjoy NJPW.

    The other day they were willing to stick by and wait for him. What's changed since then?
