    I watched MITB. First WWE show I've watched in about three years and it's still absolute shit. I really don't know how you guys do it.

    Same here really, been gorging on BOSJ all week and I have today off so I thought I'd watch it. Rollings v Styles aside it was pretty guff but Pork winning was lol.

    The main event was enjoyable until the end. I also thought AJ v Seth was brilliant.

    As for the rest of the show.... where to start. I feel like it was monumentally shit, but unlike most WWE shows, it was shit in a funny way, so I somewhat enjoyed watching it. I didn't actually mind the Women's stuff.... Becky 2 Belts was stupid and had to end, and this was a decent enough way to do it, even if they probably should have avoided chalking up another cheap title reign to Charlotte to get her to Ric's record. The Braun/Sami backstage stuff was so bad that it was bordering on parody, which again, somehow made it entertaining.

    The constant "OH MY GOD THE REF'S ARE FUCKING UP?!?!" was bizarre. Like.... what are they even doing with that? Unless Foley's new title is the VAR Title, I don't get it.

    The officiating was odd, clearly not planned or (surely) the commentary would have clued in the viewers in some way. Having Becky (ie your top face) losing at all seemed odd to me but the upshot was a nice 'moment'. Sums up the show really, a couple of nice results and lots of good moves etc but the actual wrestling was very average in my opinion.

    Miz v Shane for example, where do you even begin on that shitshow.

    I think it had to be planned. If it wasn't planned then so many wrestlers fucked up, and so many refs too. The commentators yelling about it all makes it definitely seem planned. The only thing that makes me question it is why they had Lacey legitimately beat Becky clean, only for a referee to screw her... but yea, wouldn't put that past WWE.

    Oh and yea.... LOL at Miz Vs Shane, especially Renee's outraged "HE FELL TO HIS VICTORY?!" sarcastic reaction while they then tried to defend WM. Most cage matches end with someone falling to victory.... that's literally the aim.

    The logic of a cage match coming after a no holds barred go anywhere match like they had at WM is also very odd. And then to have Miz lose is even sillier, presumably they're trying to make him look like a chump but to what end?

    Perhaps I was in the wrong frame of mind at that point but the whole show seemed a bit weird, from the crowd to the refs and the booking.

    Watching now (I've had almost all of it spoiled), fucking lol at how stupid they made Mandy look.

    Just staring open mouthed with her hand touching the briefcase with no effort to take it down.

    Nice to see them continuing to make Joe look like a mong in title matches too.

    The refs, lol. What in the actual fuck? Clear three count in both of the Becky matches.

    Styles/Rollins was great.

    The counter into the Styles Clash was lovely.

    Also, they were all told that Mustafa Ali was winning right up until just before the fight and then told about BAROQUE.

    I've also heard a rumour that the new belt is the LEGENDS CHAMPIONSHIP which will be fought for by Taker and Goldberg, LOL.

    I just saw Foley's announcement. No wonder the crowd booed, the belt looks like a 9 year old designed it.

    I have decidedly mixed feelings about MITB. Ignoring the really shortstuff and barring the Cruiserweight title match which did nothing for me I thought most of the matches were pretty decent in an of themselves. Even the cage match if you were to pretend it wasn't Shane McMahon suddenly being invincible in his dotage.

    But every one of them bar, I think, Rollins / Styles (he didn't even spend half the match holding his knee!) has a fairly significant gripe.

    Why have the Becky Two Belts thing fall at the first hurdle? What were the referees doing? Why have they turned Miz face just to make him look like a chump? Why have 7 guys (well, 6 and Keith) put their all into a generally really good MITB ladder match when they may as well have just had 20 minutes of Vince gargling Bork's balls?

    So yeah, weird. There's plenty I liked about it but almost nothing that isn't tainted by more idiotic WWE decision making.

    Also lol at that belt Foley unveiled. Should've been the old tatty one.

    Was reading some MITB stuff there and was reminded that Michael Cole's "What is wrong with these guys?" was the best thing he's done in yonks.

    I properly lol'd.

    And this was a belter:

    Are there any nice belts in WWE?

    Intercontinental maybe but only because they've resisted the urge to make a shitty plastic version.

    Actually good: IC title, NA title, NXT UK mens and womens
    Fine: NXT mens and womens, NXT tag

    Everything else can sod off.

    As if Truth hasn't lost the title yet. Is it 24/7 as long as there's an event on and a suitable break in the event where no match is happening?

    It's only 24/7 whilst the cameras are rolling.

    I imagine we'll get some comedic title changes along the way. I seem to remember a fairground and supermarket one for the hardcore title.

    Maybe we go to the Doctors office this time.

    Well it'd be a placeholder whatever show it was on, whether it be Oil Money or the next main one after that... "Stomping Grounds." Which is a shit name.

    Yeah, saw that.

    If true then ol' Jezza's career path in WWE has been a bit mental.

    - NXT career that never really took off
    - Called up to main roster. Probably as one of them "this'll make him or break him" type call-ups like Elias.
    - Largely midcard nothingness with no real threat of a proper push outside some decent performances in matches with a few people in or more
    - MITB winner!
    - Jobbed out and made to look a mug when he tries to cash in and back to midcard obscurity he goes
    - "The Constable"
    - Blamed for basically all of Raw's ills and jobs, like, all the time
    - Suddenly involved in a stuff with big names
    - Retires one of the greatest ever with a clean win
    - Being nudged towards the main event again
