Yeah Jericho was clearly fuming and well within his rights to be in my opinion.

 

I just watched the Raw fallout video on YouTube and Neville looks absolutely gutted when he realises it's probably broken. I really feel for the guy.

I know it's only somewhat related but didn't TNA do a match that lasted the whole show back when Impact was only one hour ? Christian Cage, Rhyno and possibly Angle in a triple threat match ? From what I remember though it wasn't much of a pure wrestling match as it had about half a dozen run-ins.

Don't get me wrong it was a great match but unless my audio was playing up the crowd seemed dead for the majority of the match and that took away from it somewhat. Of course it was good and I still can't believe I just saw a 40+ minute match take up an entire episode of WWE programming.

EC3 is such a megastar it's ridiculous. He looked amazing this week beating the piss out of Spud. Speaking of Spud his character work is fantastic. Two brilliant highlights in an otherwise run of the mill show.

I think Shane vs Taker could end up a bit like Sting vs Hogan in TNA a few years back, a complete throw-back match that sounds a bit shit on paper but turns out to be an absolute belter and possible MOTY contender (unless you're a RoH/Japanese Indy work rate mark). Or it could just be a bit shit.

 

Either way it's certainly the most intriguing match on the card.

It's been said already but Neville vs Owens and Y2AJ vs The New Day were both fantastic TV bouts not only because of the wrestling but also the logical booking and future potential of the post match shenanigans. Really enjoyed it.

 

Also:

 

As I fully expect The New Day to retain against AJ and Jericho what are the chances of Jericho going full heel afterwards leading to a fourth match at 'Mania ?

It sounds a little groan-worthy at first but a proper heel vs face dynamic with a gimmick thrown in (2 out of 3 falls ?) could make it feel special enough for a spot on the card.

Called it, sort of ?

Yeah I noticed that too. It was absolutely bizarre hearing them back to back.

I really do love Ambrose as a character but Jesus Christ he needs to hit the gym. I'm not a body guy but when the Young Bucks (who look like slightly tubby 14 year old boys) look more physically imposing than you do then something has gone seriously wrong. It especially doesn't help when you're booked in a match against the most physically imposing bloke on the roster.

 

It's not hard to see why the WWE haven't pushed him as much as some fans would like, despite his obvious charisma.
