That's what happens when you do a bunch of flips and expect a "This is Awesome" chant all the time. He needs to stop crying on Twitter.

I thought the PPV was okay especially with how good the first half of the show was but the worst part is by far Brock Lesnar, What a way to shit up the PPV. I liked him in his first run but he's been consistently terrible since he's been back. I loved Cena vs Styles that was an great match.

Posts like this are making me legit facepalm. If you didn't think Styles vs. Cena was great, then I don't know why you're even watching pro wrestling.

People unimpressed with this PPV also need to step back and take a look at the card.
No Big Show
No Kane
No Undertaker
No Rock
No Stone Cold
No Goldberg
No HBK
No Sting
No WCW guys (e.g., Nash, Hall, etc)
(edit)
No Dudley Boys
I'm sure there's others who have appeared in other PPVs who aren't present in this one.
Aside from the "main event" smash Lesnar vs. Orton, every match was generally a "new" WWE wrestler, and it didn't try to tie into the attitude or post-attitude era.
I think this was a really good card of what WWE has, which is a lot of good veteran and young talent.

Look man, it's not Seff's fault he had the arduous task of making the Demon King look good. Lay off.

Where are the lies in this post? I can't find them.
I don't remember anything about the match, but I remember the crowd chants and that alone put it above the Ziggler/Dean match.

Cena vs Styles was great. That should've been the last match. Having Cena leave his armband in the ring and walking out would've been great.
Nothing wrong with Lesnar, but his matches only work when he's against a top star in there since his entire persona is built around that right now. Which means unless he's facing Reigns or someone out there like The Rock, it's not going to mean anything since he's already killed Cena and Undertaker, who were the only other two opponents he could've had interesting matches with. The person in there with him needs to be someone who can actually win. Orton obviously wasn't going to win so that already destroys the atmosphere a little. It doesn't feel as important.
There isn't going to be another great Lesnar match until he finally faces Reigns again. And you can balee dat.
Shut your goddamn mouth Seph.
Roman does whatever the hell he wants to do. These arbitrary rules of face and heel don't apply to him. He's The Guy. That means he's above the rules.
Really? You are actually going to post something that stupid?

I don't know if Bálor was pissed at the crowd too but for a guy that's 'wanted this all his life' he didn't look too pleased about the rocket up his arse.
If this isn't a man disgusted by what he's holding then I don't know what is...
Is that a direct quote? How could he want a title that's never existed all his life?

Why not just bring back the big gold belt?

He was deliberately not raising the belt when celebrating because he knew the crowd was booing the belt but not him.
Smart.
This is THE belt now, right? It went on after the WWE Championship. The way Finn talked in all of his NXT interviews he makes it sound like being in WWE is the peak of his career.

That title really just looks like Kane's custom title. Right down to the black accents
AJ was on the PPV ;-)

Man. We have very different views on this. The gimmick doesn't work precisely because it's 2016.

Sorry man. Just too many folks in here trying to pretend that match was interesting.
AJ needs the strap ASAP. Dean should just give it to him tbh. No need for a match.
Interrupting a celebration of love, humiliating a woman and ruining her wedding dress just for a laugh, and then repeatedly attacking a defenseless man who had a broken rib and ignoring the commands of officials?

Just finished Styles vs Cena, holy shit! That avalanche AA kickout made me jump out of my chair. Definite MOTY contender, and I love when Cena is on his A game. His facial expressions after the kickout were perfect, as well as the "what the fuck?" he uttered during it. It's all downhill from here.
Agreed.
That's life.
You go and get what you want. No time for weaklings. And I'm pretty sure I've heard Roman tell people this is real life before.

Rusev attacked Roman first though. You can't attack a man from behind and not expect an ass whoopin'.
Can you blame Rusev for jumping Roman after what Roman did? Plus that doesn't excuse Roman leaving twice and returning to attack.

No it means he's related to the rock
So happy that AJ won! SUPER F**KING HAPPY!!! But man! UGH! I really wished that AJ SPINAL TAP Cena's ass straight after that Phenomenal Forearm to make a perfect 3-step finisher. That would have blew up the roof!!!
Step 1 - Styles Clash -
Step 2 - Phenomenal Forearm -
Step 3 - SPINAL TAP
Now THAT would have made us all lose the plot. Oh well. Still. Well done, AJ. Awesome match he had with John Cena and I don't want them to fight again on Smackdown for I believe it won't be emulated and knowing Vince, he would want John Cena to win.

That would have been cool, I wonder if too many people would have started to wonder if he was retiring.

That belt was designed for Balor and his demonic entrances.
WWE really pushing him hard.

You can't attack someone first before they're ready, and then cry foul when they take you to the cleaners. That's being a b i t c h

Roman tried to be Rusev's friend and Rusev decided he wanted a fight. What else was Roman supposed to do?
This is also a valid point. I didn't even know this.
Just epitomizes the modern male really. Be a punk ass bitch, then cry about it using worthless word games when someone decides to whoop your ass for being a punk ass bitch. The solution is not to be a punk ass bitch.

Would have given people a hook to tune in for SmackDown on Tuesday.
Could have done a monster rating if they teased that angle.

Why or How is Balor demonic?

What's the gimmick behind the gimmick?

Michael Cole is that you?
I don't know if he had a different explanation for it over in NXT, but the explanation he gave on Raw sounds pretty legit. Seems like it's just meant to symbolize the legends and monsters he takes inspiration from. I don't think he's literally becoming a demon in kayfabe (the way Kane seems to do it).

Oh really.
Zayn's title reign was worse by design though. It shouldn't even be listed.
Dallas' however was just worse by nature. I didn't watch NXT the entire time he was champion and it doesn't seem like I missed anything

I would have rather seen Ziggler vs. Wyatt. Ambrose looks AND wrestles like a chump. He makes everything around him worse. His offense is boring, contrived, and a constant reminder that everything happening in the ring is fake. Then there's the dad bod that ranks in the bottom half of the roster. The guy cuts a decent promo to his credit, but a heavyweight champion should be a hell of a lot more than that.
