WHERE CHATTERS GO TO TALK ABOUT OFF TOPIC STUFF!
I didn't do a preview thread for the WWE Hell In A Cell PPV last week, because the WWE didn't really advertise a full card leading up to it. They only announced like 4 matches, so it wasn't really worth doing a preview thread over.
The Kickoff show: 1. Natalya beat Lacey Evans. Woo hoo. (were they even feuding???) Grade: C. PPV 2. Honestly? If you turned the PPV off after Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch, you already saw by far, the best match of the night. This was the 1st match of the entire PPV, the first of the two HIAC type matches, and it was GOOD. Far better than the main event, but we will get to that. Grade: A. 3. Predictable outcome, nothing really to talk about, other than the WWE might be tweaking "The NEW" Daniel Bryan to be less of a heel. Grade: I dunno, maybe a B-? C+? Somewhere around there. 4. Why was this match even on the card? They could have easily just kept this one until tonight. It felt like a Monday Night Raw match, not one worthy of a PPV. Grade: C. 5. I have made my adoration of Asuka's abilities well known, and it pains me to see her stuck in midcard hell. She should be competing for the Raw or Smackdown Women's championship consistently, not this. The Kabuki Warriors get the win after using the green mist (ala Great Kabuki and Muta), but really, WWE? Asuka's spot in this tag team should be given to NXT's Io Shorai, with Asuka being returned to singles action. She is wasted in tag teams. Grade: B. Yay for Asuka wearing gold again, boo that it's the tag team title. 6. I didn't pay any attention at all to this match. I don't think anybody else did either. Grade: whatever total apathy gets. 7. No. 8. The match itself was decent, but the crowd was chanting something during the match that made the WWE mute out the crowd for pretty much the entire match, and then most of the rest of the PPV. Once you noticed the silence, it became hard to ignore. Grade: (Match) B+, (WWE muting crowd) F. I wanna know what the crowd was chanting, dammit. 9. Again, no. The entire 24/7 belt was created just to give R-Truth something to do. 10. Thank goodness they finally took the belt off of Bayley. 11. Seriously, WWE? WHAT THE EFF. Entire match is done with red lighting. Looked terrible. Then you couldn't decide if Bray Wyatt's "Fiend" character is '90s Undertaker invincible or not, so at first, nothing Seth Rollins did would even phase him...until it did, and then you had him be SOOOOOOOO injured you stopped the match, raised the cage, had medical come in, just for Wyatt to be faking, so he could then attack Rollins outside of the ring, when the belt was no longer on the line? If you didn't want Wyatt to win the belt, just have Rollins win the match after a hard fought battle, no need to resort to a bullshit "no contest" finish. Grade: D-. Overall, apart from the Becky Lynch/Sasha Banks match, this PPV was entirely skippable. NOTE: I won't be doing a preview or review of Crown Jewel on October 31, as it will air during the day, when I am at work. Next preview/review will be Survivor Series on November 24.
