I thought SS was pretty good. The main was exactly as expected.

I liked how they put over Balor's Demon character as something extra special and powerful. Corbin sold it well. Coach didn't, asking "why doesn't he just always come out as the demon?". Seriously. What a fucking moron.

Joe vs AJ was really good. I thought the finish was fine to set up a HIAC match. Since the match was so back and forth and really good, I didn't mind the DQ at all. A good feud can have a DQ!

Unlike the lame tag match, which is a lame feud, and a lame DQ.

Miz still can't get heat on offense, because his offense looks so sloppy and fake. He is just such a shitty wrestler, I wish he'd switch to announcing or just retire. I remember the promo he cut on DB, and this is what we got... Talk about dropping the ball with Bryan. They have completely screwed up on his comeback.

So now that we see Ronda's matches, we know why they have basically given up on Asuka. She is Asuka, right down to the armbar finish (which Asuka had to stop doing when they signed Ronda). Anyway it's fun seeing people kick fucking ass, so I am all for it. I just hope they turn Asuka soon and do something interesting with her.

Nakamura Hardy I just ignored. Pretty much same for the Smackdown womens match. Kind of dozing off as I listened to it. I really liked the angle at the end. Becky has always been a hugely popular underdog, and they played to that perfectly. Anyone else would have been the heel doing what she did.

Rollins vs Ziggler was a good match, but I hate how Rollins just stops selling.. It's not like Kairi where she "hulks up" for a short time, then sells again. He just stops, does "his shit" and continues the match. To make matters worse you have Coach pointing it out. Seriously, how the fuck is this guy still employed?

So yeah, not as good as Takeover, but still a fine show. WAAAAAY too long, but they all are now.
