I've had it with hardcore matches... they feel like a cheap way to get pops with just your usual spots or a way for bad wrestlers to cover their weaknesses. if it isn't something that'll go all the way and be different, I'd be better with the matches being normal ones. so, I'm happy to see WWE moving in this direction lately.<br /><br />I excluded the WWE title match because 1. I would've actually marked out if kane had won it, as he's one of my favourites ever. but 2. COME OOOOOOOOOOOON, that was the most predictable match of the year! bryan had 0% chance of losing that one!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267314527966701160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018922809587909496.post-54405878864006237852014-05-05T13:35:04.657+01:002014-05-05T13:35:04.657+01:00You called Bad News's title win.

I assumed Big E was going to keep it because he's someone they've seemed keen on and he could have (still could, in fact) had some really good defenses across the next few PPVs.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879783732371115178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018922809587909496.post-20035667147998068092014-05-05T13:33:37.855+01:002014-05-05T13:33:37.855+01:00It didn't need any stipulation matches.

I suspect there may be something like that attached to the Cena v Wyatt match at Payback.<br /><br />Also, the WWE championship was on the line. That's pretty important.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879783732371115178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018922809587909496.post-47286741667126282502014-05-04T20:54:21.041+01:002014-05-04T20:54:21.041+01:00I like most of the card a lot. this PPV/special ev...I like most of the card a lot. this PPV/special event should produce many good matches.<br /><br />though, I've noticed that no match has an *important* something on the line that is *unpredictable*... like, I don't care whoever wins any match from these, really... I just feel like I want to see good matches.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267314527966701160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018922809587909496.post-42270709399916523962014-05-02T22:19:35.615+01:002014-05-02T22:19:35.615+01:00Agree with all your picks except I cant see Big E ...Agree with all your picks except I cant see Big E winning against Bad News. I think one reason the IC title lost some edge is because its on a guy that the crowd doesnt know how to react to him. Hes over, but he hasnt said anything on the mic in months, and I think the crowd is just kind of tolerating him because hes young and fun (ie, Ziggler) not because hes all that exciting right now. For me, to get the IC title relevant again, it needs something fresh, and Barret winning it and giving it to Cesaro or feuding with Sheamus would do the trick. s.goodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948264626550249444noreply@blogger.com
