    Hahhahahahha, AJ Styles main evented the first match. You know he wasn't going to lose the title by then. I don't give a damn if the election or Football is on Sunday's, you don't *** with tradition. Championship matches are always on last. You don't see WWE doing that **** when Obama was running for office. That's some buster ass **** dog.

    Well, the reports are in and the ratings were good last night. I guess I was wrong. LOL WWE knows what they're doing.

    The finisher to the triple threat was anticlimactic. But that doesn't mean much. The match overall was amazing. The false finish was well done too. I think all three guys came out looking strong still, which is perfect.

    Miz-Ziggler was awesome.

    Flying under the radar seems to be Slater-Rhyno. Heath Slater is actually good at what he does. I'm glad he's getting a push and the "double wide" promos are pretty funny.

    Swagger and Corbin are still boring.

    No Becky? No care.

    Orton and Bray was lead into well enough. But those two guys are still pretty boring. It's hard to be interested in Orton after how that dumbass match with Brock went. It's even more difficult to be interested in Bray considering he always loses. Still, it was awesome to see Luke back. That guy is very talented.

    I'm gonna say this. Smackdown is doing a great job with the supposed "lack of talent" they have. They've done so well to revitalize interest in guys like Ziggler. They've put people in roles that play to their strengths; I.e., Miz and to a bit lesser extent Slater on the mic. Miz is over in 2016...

    Cena looks human and people actually don't hate him as much anymore. AJ Styles is champ. Ambrose is given more mic time and still looks strong after losing the championship. Miz is interesting. There's a reason to be invested in Ziggler again.

    Now they just need to make the Wyatts actually win matches and gain momentum. And for American Alpha to start their rise to the top.

    I will say though that I think Sami Zayn or Cesaro should have been on smackdown. That would complete the roster a bit more.

    Overall was a good show, Triple Threat Match was fantastic, AJ has put out some fantastic matches all year, he's had a hell of a year along with Kevin Owens

    Nice swerves from the rumors of Ziggler transitioning to be a road agent, Usos winning the tag titles, and Luke Harper being booked on Raw house shows, even worked with the Raw roster in Chile over the weekend.

    Smackdown is doing what they can with the roster, do agree that Zayn/Cesaro would be pushed like a mofo in Smackdown. Here's to hoping Samoa Joe/Nakamura make the jump to Smackdown and make it amazing.

    Good god Maryse.....The Miz is a winner every night....

    btw, pre-sale for Royal Rumble tomorrow......



    btw, so Dallas for WM32, SA for RR 2017, I would love to have Summerslam or Survivor Series in 2018, but wishful thinking, we are due for a PPV next year tho

    in '97 it had 60k in attendance without a TitanTron, so maybe 55k? I'm sure you'll be able to get some :)

    Since there's going to be the first women's Hell in a Cell match, it's only a matter of time that they are planning to make the first women's Royal Rumble match. Maybe use 20 women from Raw, Smackdown, and NXT.

    I really don't like 3 HIAC's on the same show

    Rusev & Reigns is the only fued of the three with the viciousness of a traditional HIAC

    I know Rollins & Owens will rule. But not sure how this advances the storyline with HHH.

    Sasha & Charlotte is cool but not sure it's neccesary.

    They don't even need a ppv called hell in a cell. They should only use it when a feud calls for it.

    I kept getting corner seats for 8 at $45 checked $75, wasn't much different, so when i tried to go back to $45, all gone, was able to get 2 for co-worker at $45 range, came out to $65 after fees

    checked Stubhub, got club seats in 204 for $90/each, figured those were better than the $75 seats I was bringing up

    so I'm SET!!!!

    I will take that offer...

    the seating chart makes no sense at all, if you go to Stubhub/Seatgeek, they are selling seats on the same side of the stage, and not ANY on the opposite side, I've been to plenty of WWE events and they NEVER sell tickets behind the Titantron, even at Wrestlemania this year, so that Ticketmaster Seat Map isn't right

    I think the Ticketmaster one is right. It matches the one on the Alamodome website, and I doubt it's wrong on their site.

    Survivor Series is going to rule

    Classic 5 on 5 Elim- top guys on Raw vs SD
    Owens, Rollins, Reigns, Rusev & Y2J v Styles, Cena, Ambrose, Orton, Bray/Ziggler

    Classic Women 5 on 5 Elim
    Charlotte, Sasha, Bayley, Dana & Nia v Becky, Nattie, Alexa, Nikki & Carmella

    Classic Tag Team 5 on 5 Elim
    New Day, The Club, Certified G's, Cesaro & Sheamus &
    vs American Alpha, The Usos, Slater & Rhyno, Wyatt Family & Hype Bros/Vaudevillains

    A Cruiserweight 5 on 5 would be rad

    Lesnar/Goldberg

    Not sure if they'll have the top champions in a Survivor Series match, I'm sure they'll have some type of Universal, World, US, IC, Tag Title, Woman's matches, then again, they have them every month on their own PPVs.

    Should be interesting Survivor Series

    btw, Royal Rumble seating chart is now correct
