Do Sin Cara lighting. Get Sin Cara reactions.

But it was unsanctioned.

And by that they meant 'no lights on the crowd, the first - AND ONLY THE FIRST - referee to dress like a cat burglar... but yeah sod it, give them full entrances and the rest of it. It's not that unsanctioned.'

I did really enjoy 50 backstage wallies being completely unable to stop the murder of Sami Zayn, but immediately shut down Orton when he tried to punt KO.

I don't have the insightful comments and nuanced understanding that many of you do.

I don't have the irrational love/hate for Rock/Cena.

I gave up a long time ago on watching 6 hours per week plus PPV / PLE as well as keeping up with all the backstage politics and gossip but... that Cena turn was great wasn't't it?

Dropping the F bomb, blood, betrayal, history, rivalries  and someone getting twatted with a belt like my mum had in the 80s.

Wrestling's great isn't it lads?

Rock, Cena, Travis Scott, Logan Paul and Bad Bunny at Surivor Series as Team Hollywood anyone?

*edit* embed isn't working... basically, it would appear Travis Scott might be a feature of the story going forward.

Slightly off on a tangent but this is pretty awesome.

The simple, old-school stuff still works and (as Jerry Jarrett's famous office sign read) personal issues draw money. Doesn't matter that there were tens of thousands of fans, a fucking Prime Energy stand in the background or that it was shot in ultra HD. That was an an angle right out of the 1980s pro wrasslin' playbook and it was fucking class. 

Ten times more invested in Cody/Cena at 'Mania now and curious to see where the story goes from here. I hope we see a completely revamped Cena. New gear, new entrance music, new attitude. As for Cody, I'm glad his title reign has gotten finally gotten the opponent and programme it deserves.

Wow well I am very happy to admit how wrong I was jesus Christ.

Personally I thought both chamber matches didn't deliver and especially the women's that felt like it lasted months.

I genuinely felt uncomfortable at the end of Zane and Owens and so did most the crowd as well. But good God that takes match of the year because I don't see it being topped they really gave everything for the fans and then some.

I watched the main this morning and when Cena won I got so pissed off with the choice and having a Cena main event again.......

But then the unthinkable happened and I'm still shocked the thing we all fantasy booked in our head not believing it would ever happen has and I'm fucking game for the match now.

 

Very disappointed and shocked we haven't seen Roman....I was convinced he would show up and now he needs to be back regularly too build whatever he's doing because he's almost been forgotten because he's been MIA.

 

Extremely memorable one and a end segment that will talked and revered forever

Terrifying.

Two things ruined it for me:

1. Guy in the front row screaming (REPEATEDLY) "Thank you Seth" at Rollins during the chamber match while he was bang centre of the frame (next to Ray Romano).

2. Thought to myself that The Rock looked like Gregg Wallace on the gas which took me right out of it.

Wonder if there was no blood because they dropped the fucking blade. ?

I've rewatched this moment several times if only to see the reactions from different people in the crowd.

... and actually the commentators did a bit too. They kept missing stuff,

Big thing they missed in the final angle... Cena hitting Cody with the Rolex.

Cole thought they were brass knux, McAfee at least recognised it was a Rolex. I think the idea was that it was the Rolex gifted to Cody from WWE brass, that used to be Dusty's.

Amazing turn though. Watched the segment 3 times already and I'm sure I'll watch it a bunch more.
