Two Matches from WM Play Button

NO DQ: Sting vs. Triple H

Hm, judging from the video package, the build-up to the match sucked a bag of dicks. Apparently Sting was sitting in his basement for 13 years and growing a pair all this time to take on Levesque. LOL. But nevermind, I’m here for actual wrestling, not the talking. Stinger’s entrance was great, the daylight certainly helped too, it really looked cool. Then Ahnold announces Levesque’s Terminator entrance and I’m not exactly sure how to feel about the whole thing. It’s a mystery to me. :/ Sting’s in a damn good shape. I’m talking 2006/07 TNA shape. Props to him!

Man, this sucked. Stinger came to this? Even before the interferences the match was simply not good. It had its moments, but it was meh overall. Stinger should really call it a day. I love you, buddy, but c’mon now… I hated, HATED the nWo/Clique geriatrics jerkoff nostalgia, it was so stupid. Save that crap for shitty Raws. Last thing I need is watching a bunch of old farts doing their memorabilia thing, fuck off with that shit. Not to mention DX being presented as the equals to nWo, but whatever, WWE won, they can do whatever they want. Bad match, although I did like the post-match handshake, it saved the match from being a total DUD.

WWE Championship: Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar ©

Technically, I don’t know how to treat this, is this one match or two? Weird situation, hm. Nevermind, because it was mostly fun. The Reins/Bork portion was really good, could’ve been amazing if they did one F5 less, I could really do without the third one, that was an overkill if there ever was one. One more thing, Roman looked like a total caricature out there, still sporting that Shield outfit and getting his ass kicked for a VERY long time, that’s not how you present someone who’s aspiring for Cena’s spot at the top. He did make a good and exciting comeback, but it needed to happen sooner, IMO. The match gets big bonus points for all around brutality and barbarism displayed through some truly vicious knee strikes, lariats, slaps and slams by both guys, but mostly Lesnar. You’ve never seen strikes this stiff in WWE. And holy smokes, his suplexes never looked better. And then Rollins cashed in, and things happened. I don’t really know what to think about it. Actually, I do know what to think about it – I didn’t like it. Hm, shame, Reins/Bork could’ve been a masterpiece with a thing or two fixed, but the whole thing feels kind of disjointed now.
