Matt "Absolutely! Tremendous!"

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Charly, wow.

 

[Ultratech]

Charly...*whew*

 

[UberTag]

I really don't like this version of Matt.

How can you not get behind his "desperately clinging to his past gimmick but not able to embody it" persona?
Wannabe Broken Matt Hardy

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Lord above...

 

[Hex]

Why is Garfunkel on the pre-show commentary?
He is terribru

 

[SparkleMotion]

Charly deserves a "holy shit" chant.

 

[Sinatar]

Wow the Hardys already hitting the bottom of the barrel getting booked against Golden Truth? That was a short run.

 

[truly101]

So in terms of any sort of booking and story telling, this has to be the most throwaway PPV WWE has had in years.
I'm trying to figure out if I should bother with this one.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Charly and JoJo tonight

If you have to ask yourself that question, the answer is no. Always.

Wannabe Broken Matt Hardy

It's because I loved the Version 1 gimmick. He should have come back as Version 2 until he broke and came back with his awesome theme.

Payback is essentially Wrestlemania's reheated leftovers

 

[shwimpy]

Charly's right arm is way bigger than her left.

Lord of the Rings style trick photography.

 

[vatstep]

I think it's distortion from the wide angle shot

 

[Rhaknar]

yay I can watch it, we did it Beefy!

;_;

 

[blackaroni]

These two need Booker to keep them in check.

That was not good.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

that bit with the tag name was kind of awkward cesaro

 

[ShadyK54]

Charly

(oh wow payback is on tonight)

 

[SparkleMotion]

What is the deal with Matt Hardy right now. He's not Broken, but he's not normal either.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Lol this is my favorite type of awkward promo work.

 

[Rhaknar]

word is that WWE settled with the Owl for the Broken rights so he should be Broken sooner or later

 

[truly101]

If you have to ask yourself that question, the answer is no. Always.

At the same time, I have a database project to finish up before tomorrow so this shouldn't cause any worthwhile distractions.
Still there is not one match on this card I remotely care what happens. Maybe they can put on a good show with the pressure completely off. I mean the fuckery for the HOH match could approach new paradigm levels

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I loved everybody in that promo.

 

[Auraela]

cesaro and sheamus have really made this work so well, everyone was so down on them going against each other and since becoming a tag team has become a great watch

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

damn those boos

 

[Ecliptor]

Holy shit dem boos!

 

[Nose Master]

So was Cesaro high or

 

[Guzim]

Did the crowd just boo the House of Horrors match? This is going to be awesome.

 

[ghostmind]

JBL?

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Janosz sounds weird without his accent.

 

[Ultratech]

lol @ the crowd booing the House of Horrors match

 

[vatstep]

lol

I'm still salty about Foley forcing them to be a tag team versus giving them both a world title shot

 

[sf2fanatic]

It has to be the curtain jerker match

 

[excelsiorlef]

lol @ the crowd booing the House of Horrors match

Not sure they're seeing what we're seeing...

Is the pre show aired in the arena?

 

[Wagram]

What's with the Roman Reins tier boos at the Wyatt v. Orton match?

 

[UberTag]

It's because I loved the Version 1 gimmick. He should have come back as Version 2 until he broke and came back with his awesome theme.

That would make more sense. What value is there in Matt "breaking" if he's waxing nostalgic quoting all of his broken nonsense for weeks beforehand?

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Would you rather they get a world title shot that both would lose on a Raw and then fadeaway to the background or a tag team which lead to them getting actual gold?

 

[Rhaknar]

was that Hannibal there for a second?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I can't help but feel bad for Bray. His character's really difficult but he's made it work, he can go in the ring but most of his opponents make him look like shit, and he has to have some of the worst booking in WWE history. They try and push him as some Taker level mystic threat but he loses every feud he's in.

That would make more sense. What value is there in Matt "breaking" if he's waxing nostalgic quoting all of his broken nonsense for weeks beforehand?

I get it from his perspective because he enjoys it. But the powers that be really need to stop pushing people on the main roster based on what they did in NXT or the indies.

 

[SparkleMotion]

The House of Horrors match will be WCW esque shit show that we will harp on for years to come.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

In my live wwe experiences, promo packages are played on the titantron along with the tv broadcast.

It's must see TV as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Bray Wyatt deserves so much better than this shit fucking company.

I'll always be mad about how they've treated him.

REEEEEEE, ect.

Ohhh meeep then

Yup, it's going to be amazing.

Its either they are booing the match or JBL came to the ring.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Boo!

Haunted House.
