WWE FASTLANE 2017 MATCHES SERIES

Jack’s bumps here were completely batty – that German! The fall off the top! Jack’s headbutt and Neville having to pull out the Red Arrow were icing on the cake. Both Neville and Jack really, really tried – these fuckers had to WORK to get that crowd back and they eventually did, which was really the most impressive thing on the show. The first half of this wasn’t much but they closed this sucker strong. Total straightforward destruction for the finish – thanks a lot, Shaq! *3/4Ħ. There was some decent stuff here – Rusev was throwing some monster kicks and the build to that first chokeslam was tremendous, but yeesh. *Īnd then they did this too! On paper this is a fine match but a cold match after all that had just transpired was rough. Stupid to sum up Cesaro’s career right now based on THIS match but here it is: Cesaro really is at his right place on the roster it’s just that in the WWE guys at that place don’t get used very well. What a strange choice this was… a cold 8-minute Jinder Mahal match after three decent but underwhelming matches. I cannot confirm or deny that this match happened. Couple decent parts but pretty weak overall. Nia just shaking opponents should become a regular spot too. Liked the spot where Nia powered out of the Bank Statement, Sasha elbowed away at Nia’s head, then ran into Nia taking her down. Nia beatdown was OK and it did get pretty dang good for the finish… guillotine spot was really awkward but the reverse to the rear chinlock was cool. underdog thing but neither is really good enough in that role to fully take advantage. This was laid out OK with the monster vs. German Commentator Tim Haber being bad at production cues strikes again! Just the weirdest tone-deaf thing on a show filled with weird tone-deaf things. Is this whole Foley thing gonna end with them just straight-up murdering Mick Foley? I don’t see where else it can go. Pretty good stuff with a long stretch of ehhhh. It closed real nice as they effectively teased Enzo & Cass winning. Enzo took some wild bumps here and Cass’ big boot remains phenomenal. This was rock solid but the heel beatdown had me sleepy and this was the SECOND match. RAW Tag Team Title: Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Sweet decisive finish, effective stuff and the right match for Samoa Joe right now but a weird choice for a PPV opener. Zayn as per usual sold and bumped his heart out – he took the uranage in the corner as good as anybody. Liked Joe’s jabs, him blocking the armdrag, and that SWEEP. This was a 10-minute squash that had enough cool stuff to keep it interesting. I have done a complete 180 on Joe’s theme music – it’s incredible in a big arena setting. Swann & Tozawa is a fun team though, enjoyed Tozawa leaning on Swann’s dance at the end like they were best buds. This had a fun run by Swann but otherwise not much to speak of… another cold formula 205 Live match, and exhibit A on why 205’s heel side needs a real kick in the ass.

Liked that they just shat on the idea of Jinder & Rusev having a Best of 7 Series – as did every one I watched with, of course – and both of them were like “yeah that sounds right.” Joe Q&A was fine, he continues to crush it mic-wise.Ġ. That Jinder/Rusev break-up felt more sudden than Wyatt/Orton. Kickoff Show was acceptable but in retrospect not a great start, highlighted by them actually acknowledging Tom Phillips being a fuck face. Stupid layout here – every match outside of the main event was like 90% a heel beatdown, which is classic wrestling stuff but more glaring than usual when it was just one after another. If this website was funded by the Kremlin I’d be saying, Sad! A few good matches surrounded by a sleepy brand and bad layout, with everything brought another few notches down by a truly criminal decision on the Women’s Title match, Mick Foley hijinks BS, and blatant time-killing with the Jinder, Rusev and New Day stuff.
