NWK reviews the 7/22/14 Main Event

Post by NWK2000 » Jul 24th, '14, 22:31

Seth Rollins vs Fandango
-At one point, Seth bobs his head to his theme, fantastic.
-I guess Fandango is babyface, alright.
-Fandango sold his heart out for Seth
5.5/10
We get a promo for Cena/Lesnar based off Raw. I wouldn't normally bring this up, but I like the fact that they focused a lot on Heyman during the recaps. It reenforced why I approve of Lesnar beating the streak. Anyone who Heyman manages from now on can in theory be given a crapton more credibility than they had before.
Jey Uso vs Ryback
-It's been like two years and people are STILL chanting Goldberg?
-Uso takes the punches to Ryback and Ryback just pimp slaps him.
-Why is the babyface stalling?
-I was really pissed the Jey was ducking everything Ryback was throwing....until Ryback caught Uso diving off the top and hit one of the sicker spinebusters I've ever seen.
-I'm glad that "Feed me More" is still an over catchphrase (or, at least, they still use it as a piped in chant)
-Ryback wins!
4/10

Heath Slater and Titus O'Neil promo: GREAT
Heath is super entertaining, and could easily be a comedy babyface in my estimation. Titus looking completely unamused throughout also made this better.


Heath Slater and Titus O'Neil vs Kofi Kingston and Big E w/Xavier Woods
-If Titus ends up joining this new Nation of Domination stable, "Let me show you how" should be the group's theme, I love it so much.
-Woods is very much giving off a Slick sort of vibe, who knew Woods had such good manager mannerisms?
-MAN Titus is looking good
-Heath being a jerk to Titus is great.
-The "Backbreaker Foot Stomp" finish may be my new favorite tag finisher
6.5/10

Okay, so as of this show, they are going with the count out for Rusev vs Swagger at Battleground

Zeb Coulter and Jack Swagger promo: Awesome! I like how Coulter is still being somewhat of a douchebag but gets a babyface pop.
Slater and O'Niel promo 2: If this doesn't end in the New Nation beating the piss out of Heath I'll be very disappointed.
Rusev w/Lana vs. Jack Swagger w/ Zeb Coulter
-Vladimir Putin's face popping up on the titantron and people booing it will never not be funny.
-Lana cuts a great pre-match promo
-How is Rusev "working on one ankle" he wasn't limping or anything.
-Hmmm, they're working bodypparts, or at least they were.
-Okay now Rusev is limping. I like Rusev being a vulnerable monster
-Man Rusev just stepping on Swagger's head and shoulder is pretty brutal.
-I didn'tm like the finish until one of the announcers brought up that Lana had lost control of Rusev
-I don't know where the dirtsheets get their junk, but it looks like this feud is still on!
7/10

Overall, a pretty solid episode of main event, the highlight for me being Kofi and Big E.

That's happening? I had no idea. Maybe they actually decided to wrap up Rusev/Swagger before they had him feud with Sheamus. Would make sense, considering they rectified ending the feud on Main Event.

It was because of the way things were portrayed on Raw. They did everything they could to make it seem like Rusev had won by submission at Battleground. They only showed stills, and the last one they showed was Rusev putting Swagger in the Accolade while Lawler told us that Swagger had tapped. That's why the dirtsheets were speculating this (and the fact that on the house shows leading up to Battleground, Rusev always squashed Swagger).
