Paid Members mim731 Posted June 24, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2019 Although it must be bizarre for the wrestlers cutting promos facing the hard cam, from that photo it still looks like there's a pretty healthy crowd in the arena. It's not like the show played out to no-one. Given how little momentum there was for Stomping Grounds I thought it was a decent B level show. Nothing overly memorable, but nothing particularly terrible either. From an in-ring perspective it was all very good, it's just the overproduced booking that hampers everything else and that was evident here. They seem to be in a bit of a holding pattern for now, but I'm hoping the success of AEW (if it happens) will nudge WWE into making big changes. Competition might be the answer to WWE's increasingly stale product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted June 24, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2019 I watched the 30 minute highlights on You Tube. Pretty much the right decision. Ricochet and Joe was good and the tag match had a suplex spot I had never seen before. The Kofi finish was neat. The rest, blurgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the show played out to no-one. It's also a massive arena. 4th biggest indoor arena in America. They're used to it though. Most Smackdowns and the occasional Raw have no one on the hard camera side, other than a few rows on the floor, but it's never happened at a PPV before that I can think of.

TildeGuy~! Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I thought Roman/Drew was easily match of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they work well together, and could have a good solid feud if it wasn't for all the Shane stuff. I felt that was overdone unfortunately.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 24, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2019 So is it going to be Seth & Becky against Corbin & Lacey or Hunter & Steph. Also when will this match be? The reality era, people. Oooooh, Vs Bryan & Brie brand Vs brand at Survivors. The gravy train riding opportunities are near endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted June 24, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2019 I'm not into this Becky and Seth being a big couple and ending the show cuddling and stuff thing at all. It's not even the general idea I hate but the two of them are right unappealing smug cunts and it's just not working for me.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe have both the Universal and Raw womens titles on the line somehow I reckon. Not saying that's a good plan, but I suspect that's where it's going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Skimming news reports or watching highlights, no-one is arsed. Review the things you did watch and leave the ''I don't care about the show, but y'know I went out of my way to read/watch bits of it'' bollocks to yourself. Perfectly fine B level PPV show, easy watch. Worth the measly tenner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I was more put off by Seth and Charlotte hanging around with the lowcard gimps for that Richochet congratulations bit. It’s shit like that which hammers home how on the same level everyone is and no-one is a star. You wouldn’t have seen Hogan hanging around with Red Rooster back in the day or Triple H sat in catering with The Bashams. ’Make A Difference’ Ali will go down well I’m sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted June 24, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2019 Using Lacey as the guest ref was clever and they've done pretty well by her I think. ACAB and all that but she's done a great job of getting her character out there and her fighting for the title and getting involved in the main event didn't feel weird. Enjoyed the full spin Rollins did to get out of Corbin's finisher at the end of their match. I didn't even see that video of ricochet fingering his butt and it's the first thing I think of every time I see the poor bastard now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the whole PPV because I cancelled the WWE Network because the company is full of cunts. And on what I saw, I'm more glad I did. Product is stale, watching any WWE programming at this point is out of habit rather then loyalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A far better read than virtue signalling that you're still paying for the Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
