Van Dammer Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read Ill put this in spoiler tags as its probably an indication of sustained money but Skybet have now gone 1/4 Sandow to win the MITB and Ambrose is out to 20/1. Think that 20s is worth snapping up even if your back is against the wall if there are people out there this close to the event that know the results and are probably punting on it. If its out to 20/1, it means less people are backing it than more. The 1/4 means there's likely been a heavy bet on that choice winning. Â Im aware of this, thanks.

d-d-d-dAz Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 FYI, The Shield and The Uso's just had one of the best tag matches of the year. If Axel/Miz and/or Y2J/Ryback stink the place up, they're going to regret not sticking this one on the main card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryFice Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I've literally (proper use for once) just came home from the pub and found out this is on tonight, and on SS3. Fan-dabi-dozi!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Mayhem Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Not just one of the best tag matches of the year, one of the best matches of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Butternut Squash Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 It was very good. Loved how the crowd were disinterested, sitting on their hands and chanting RVD but by the time we got back from commercials they were standing up in a frenzy chanting "this is awesome!" Wrestling is such magic sometimes. Shame about those intrusive breaks though. The Uso's are great, hope they do a Raw rematch. Â It's done its job. I'm tempted to stream buy this now.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 Urgh! Fucking Orton vs Cena and Bryan vs. Axl sound horrendous feuds on paper. Â Money in the Banks are usually the best PPVs of the year, but this one didn't do it for me. To much shite knocking about and results I didn't want. Worth a watch, but not a patch on previous years.

Paid Members FLips Posted July 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 Started off stupidly awesome on the Pre-show, and then gradually got worse as the night went on. Usos vs Shield and Smackdown MITB were two of my best matches of the year. Everything up until the Ryback match was so-so, Ryback match onwards was shit. Raw MITB had no sort of rhythm or pace. Â Sandow has no place winning MITB though, he's a good mid carder and that's all he'll ever be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Poor Daniel Bryan. Â A month ago everyone would have bet the house on Cena/Bryan at Summerslam, now he looks to be getting Michael McGillicutty for the 'no one gives a toss' title. Probably on the pre-show. Â More detailed thoughts tomorrow, but I really enjoyed that show. Â Ill be interested to hear Punks condition after the match, he seemed to be having real trouble with his neck. It might just have been clever selling, but holding his neck then having to lift his own leg on to the bottom rung of the ladder was pretty scary. Â I forgot how fun the 'see who RVD is going to try and kill this week' game was. The answer this week was Sheamus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 Axl vs RVD was the logical feud I thought. Heyman's mate vs his old mate for a midcard title is what you should be doing with RVD. Logical feud with a young guy. I cant believe Bryan didn't win. Poor fucker has been the best wrestler on the show for months now. Like Benoit, even if you have no confidence in him drawing after the win, its worth just giving him his shot at it. I dont know what the Axl feud is about. Is it a step up for Axl? Or a step down for Bryan? Because both cant come out of it looking good. Axl doesn't need a loss and Bryan definitely doesn't need to be putting over someone at that level right now. Fuck it, though. I'm still not recovered from Orton vs Cena's feud a few years back. Â Its only on this show I realised the Shield have taken a massive drop haven't they? They were putting Undertaker through tables a few months ago. Now they are getting slapped about off the Usos in the opener when they try their gang attacks. I wonder if the Wyatt's have taken priority over them. I suppose you can only have one dominant trio all over the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted July 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 I thought the show was fairly good. The undercard was enjoyable even though I disagreed with the non-finish on PPV that seemed designed to make you watch Raw for the next installment of soap opera (Del Rio/Ziggler) and the manner in which the big monster heel had to beat the expendable part time babyface with a flukey flash pin (Jericho/Ryback). But the matches were ok. Actually I thought the Del Rio/Ziggler match was really good, except as usual I winced at some of Ziggler's biggest bumps. Â Last two matches I thought were really exciting, except the wrong guys won. Not to say I know who the right guy to win the MITB match would be, but I sure as hell don't want Cena vs Orton ever again. Â But yeah, moans about booking aside it was worth watching. It entertained me. That's all that really matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted July 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 The two MITB matches were great, as was Ziggler/Del Rio. I'm fine with the AJ thing, its a story they have to do, otherwise its this big loose end for Zigglers turn. The finish was fine with that in mind. Â As for the MITB winners, Sandow's win does lots for both him and Cody. Ortons win is uninspiring on the night, but I'm sure it just fits better into their future plans than any of the others winning it. Regardless of who went over, it was abundantly clear who their core fan base wants to get behind with the reactions in that match. Â Saying that though, if Bryan/Axel takes place on anything more important than a Smackdown, we riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 If thats true, talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. These three were super hot a few months ago. Its WWE that will suffer from burying them. Â Rollins comes from the land of the limp handshake, Ring of Honor, so there might be truth in that.
