Then put the IC match on last. Don't put the heatless Bray/Orton match on.

Not that I blame Randy, but he seems to be going through the motions. Also, beating him doesn't really elevate Wyatt.

It isn't the same though. The feuds were garbage monster of the week feuds, and they absolutely sucked.
The big thing was Taker always went over in the end. The only times he didn't it was because he was taking time off, and he came back in a big super natural angle and went over in the end. Winning when you have the super cool mysterious gimmick is everything.
Bray never goes over in the end so he has zero credibility and it destroys his whole gimmick. If they did this to Taker he would of never made it to the Attitude era.
They had Taker beat Hogan for the title in his first year. They haven't given Bray anything remotely close to this. It isn't Bray's fault, but it has undermined his gimmick.

Par for the course for Blandy. He is super talented, but when he doesn't give a **** you get boring ****.

Big Dave coming up.
I didn't expect LAW to have so little to say about No Mercy, but I guess they were distracted by the Jays.

Dave isn't sure what is up with Goldberg, but if it happens the timing is to sell 2K17 for the Thanksgiving weekend.
He isn't sure that the Mania Brock opponent is Shane, but it is possible.

Dave hasn't heard if the women are main eventing HIAC, but thinks it would be a good idea and could happen.
He did confirm the plan was to put them in the cell, and most likely still is the plan.

Pretty good PPV. Triple Threat was match of the night for me
Ziggler/Miz was basically the exact same match from Backlash till the finish. Also 3 failed attempts at the rope power bomb thing my Miz. It was a good match but not worth 5 stars.
I also kind of wanted Miz to win so someone could take it off him at WM
Wyatt won a match!!!
...but Bliss lost a match...
so... 50/50
Also AJ is the best thing in WWE

wwe could have easily been planting that info out there, or maybe ziggler will really retire soon, just not right now

I only saw the opening match (which was great) until I had to go out. Sounds like I Missed a fun show, really want to see that Miz/Ziggler match. I saw a clip of the Harper return on Twitter and the crowd reaction was great.

Too much complaining about the match order. Maybe cause I fast forwarded through the show and watched what I wanted after the Jays game, but I wasn't bothered by it. Show kicked off with a banger, that triple threat match wasn't boring for even a second. Only thing sort of lame was the finish. AJ should've Styles Clash'd Cena on the steel chair or something after hitting him. Happy he retained.
I also think Miz/Ziggler was 5*. If Big Dave is gonna give Punk/Cena 5* basically just because of the build and the moment, this is 5* no doubt. Had an awesome build throughout and the match actually ****ing delivered in a big way. The Punk/Cena match is pretty unwatchable if you go back to it now without the build. Miz/Ziggler was a great wrestling match and the crowd was hot with all the false finishes. Happy for Dolph, I hope they follow through with him now and don't give him ****** booking again. I'll have to go back and watch Nakamura/Zayn again before I can say which is the MOTY so far. Maybe good to not have this match last - do it while the crowd is alive.
Only watched the last few minutes of Orton/Wyatt cause I still find Orton boring as ****. Elated to have Luke Harper back, amidst all the talk that he was going to Raw.
Thikki Bella looked great.

Just watched it.
IC match was awesome.
Pretty much everything else was garbage. Carmella may be the worst performer on the roster, at least for Smackdown (I'm looking at you, Braun Strowman). I basically fastforwarded through a good chunk.
If the talk from LAW is that PPV's have become a watered down product, they couldn't be more right. There are too many, so they're basically just slightly different episodes of RAW unless you're getting one of the big 4.
All just product to sell the network. Pretty unimpressive. Sadly I'm more interested in Raw tomorrow night... and that's saying something.

I just don't get it. Luke Harper gets a pop. He's a meaningless cog in the "Wyatt Family" which has been booked into oblivion. They pulled the same ***** when he appeared out of the crowd in a hoodie last year at Battleground. They're getting just lazy.

creatively.....wwe would be sooooo much better off with like 6 PPV's per year. You wouldn't have to recycle so many matchups, you could actually build stories....they are going to further burn out the audience and maybe even divide it. smackdown fans may not even bother with raw on ppv weeks, and same the other way. i get they want network subscribers but eventually it's just too much
cena/styles/ambrose match was alright. the rest was a snoozefest. miz/ziggler was the best IMO. so many finishers countered knew there was gonna be some outside interference.

He was supposed to be on raw, so the plans changed. Would've been a brilliant swerve though.
