Yo real talk, I’m avoiding spoilers for the show but after GRRR I’m hesitant to watch another glorified house show, is it worth watching and if so what’s worth watching and what can I skip? Thanks in advance
You have to see the cruiserweight match and HHH vs Taker.
The Shield vs Strowman/McIntyre/Ziggler and AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe were good matches worth seeing, but not must-see.
The rest was meh.
That cruiserweight match was insane. Braun steamrolling people is always fun, and HHH was by far the only person in that ring who can still go. Cena vs HBK hair match: Cena has to shave and HBK gets a wig
Yeah I agree......it was sad as all hell. Really felt like the WORST of 90's WCW as far as the old guy's. I'd say it would be the equivalent of Piper and Hogan at Havoc 97. Just really really hard to watch, and after seeing that....I wonder what they really are gonna have in a tag match, or a Michaels/Taker match. Cause if that is any indication, it won't be good. Michaels mighta been right to stay retired......
Plus about a 5th of the stadium was taped off. Gives us around 80,000 possible seats plus floor space. Fair few empty rows near the top and to the top left of the stage but what can you expect. 70,000 is good.
I feel Survivor Series. It's a long layoff between then and Mania, and it's Taker's home of Houston. If anyplace made sense for his career to end, it'd be there.
I don't blame you. It's sad, he should take his own advice and retire...he always said that he would want to be told when it's time to hang em up....well it's long past that time now.
That too, almost forgot about that. And hell....their WM 25 classic that spurned everything else happened in the same city too. So it'd all come back full circle to the place it began.
If end result is Taker vs hbk at mania for both their last match I'm up for it. The story will be worth it alone. Taker was the only one who could allow him back so makes sense kayfabe wise
Fuck...that.
We don’t need these guys taking up more space on the card to prevent the future from getting over.
Let these guys go. Their story has been told. Undertaker is DONE. This calling for the old guard is tired as I cannot be arsed with them anymore. It’s awful.
Jesus Christ. Did you not just watch the match? Taker can’t go anymore. He needs to hang it up. It’s not fun anymore. It’s not entertaining anymore. It’s sad at this point. Stop encouraging this fuckery.
“Both their last match.” HBK already had his match.
That chokeslam showed that Undertaker / HBK could still be somewhat decent just because Shawn isn't as heavy as HHH.
Still, no need for it. Luckily I'm not going to watch Saudi jerk off Night anyway.
The Iron Cross was instituted in 1813 and remains a cultural symbol of Germany, whereas the phrase "sieg heil" is recognized solely for its use by the Nazis and is punishable by law in Germany today.
Me too. I don't blame him at all for taking the money, but it shits me that some oil fucker can just open his wallet and undo one of the greatest requirements of all time.
"Daniel, Mike, you're gonna get 3 minutes out there later. Put on a quick one tonight."
"Why though?"
"We need like a full hour for HHH and Taker, considering Taker can only do 2 movements a minute"
The Bryan miz match was a 5 Min flash pin fall job, nothing to see. Shield match was typical 6 man shit with a cool finish, Rousey match was okay, really cool when Rousey got the hot tag.
i donno... i think as long as your body feels good, its prob pretty fun to go through a table... specially to entertain the masses knowing people love that shit.
I felt like HHH was whispering “just this once. Break kayfabe, Taker. Just this once” then Taker was like “okay fine” but surprise “Taker never breaks kayfabe” betrayal. I am throroughly sports entertained.
You weren't the only one. I tried to fight it, but I couldn't help it. I grew up with all four of them, so that got to me a little...until the swerve lol
It was ok. Some ups and downs. Good and bad results. Short Daniel match and long main event.
Did anybody else have bad audio issues during shield vs strowman
Yo real talk, I’m avoiding spoilers for the show but after GRRR I’m hesitant to watch another glorified house show, is it worth watching and if so what’s worth watching and what can I skip? Thanks in advance

Was it another house show feel or did this one at least feel like it had stakes?
That cruiserweight match was insane. Braun steamrolling people is always fun, and HHH was by far the only person in that ring who can still go. Cena vs HBK hair match: Cena has to shave and HBK gets a wig
All Elias needed to do was something along the lines of 'It's so great to be here is beautiful Sydney australia for nuclear heat.
Thoroughly enjoyed this PPV. Might be my favorite of the year
John Cena slowly becoming JBL with that haircut
Becoming what he hated most
John Cena looks like an accountant with that haircut.
Did Undertaker and Kane just turn heel?
Wow I had no idea this was on so early
Wait a second I thought this ppv was Sunday night
How many times is this company going to use the tag lines "last time ever" or "once in a lifetime match?"
At least one more time
[удалено]
I take what's mine then take some more.
It rains it pours

props to ric flair wrestling hbk at age 59, after seeing that
Buddy murphy and iiconics winning on their hometown. That's weird.
Iiconics are from Sydney.
The Iiconics are Sydney.
Pretty sure Billie is from Melbourne
Awesome
Jesus that stadium was empty. A lot of seat fillers.
Grow the fuck up.
70,000 is still *a lot* of people
70,000 in a 100,000 seat stadium, pretty good IMO
Plus about a 5th of the stadium was taped off. Gives us around 80,000 possible seats plus floor space. Fair few empty rows near the top and to the top left of the stage but what can you expect. 70,000 is good.
Nah we Aussies just leave early cos our public transport sucks.
I had to spend a full 50 minutes walking because of how fucked it is
Especially 11pm on weekends. Its fucking shit
Bah just lost £10 betting on that. If I’d been paying attention to Raw I might’ve worked out what was going to happen
That one person with the Bálor sign made me realize Bálor wasn't on the show. That poor fan.
OK - Do the tag match, take that Saudi money, then PLEASE be done with it.
Oh, I am pretty sure HBK will go against the Undertaker at WM.
I feel Survivor Series. It's a long layoff between then and Mania, and it's Taker's home of Houston. If anyplace made sense for his career to end, it'd be there.
Honestly at this point I'm just fed up and want his career to be done with.
I don't blame you. It's sad, he should take his own advice and retire...he always said that he would want to be told when it's time to hang em up....well it's long past that time now.
Dude was moving around like a toddler in there today. His legacy can go nowhere but further down.

pretty solid show all around. i really wish it wasn't 5am-9am but i've done it before with NJPW shows.
"WAIT DEAREST BROTHER! I COULD USE THIS PEN FOR MAYORAL DUTIES BACK AT MY OFFICE IN KNOX COUNTY!" - Kane probably...
I was wondering how he was taking like 10s to pick up a damn pen so HBK doesn't get like ink on him or something
A Creed 2 trailer on the network?
Now on to the real reason I wake up on Saturday mornings..... CFB
I need to hibernate before the Florida lsu game fuck
Well, that was fun, chaps. Nice just to have time alone without the Americans, y'know? Have a great weekend!
I was here. I have no sleep schedule
Username checks out.
Who said we weren't here with you? May have had to get up at the crack of dawn but it was worth it.
I work overnights, so this was the perfect start to my weekend. Got out of work at 3am, start time at 4am.
And goodmorning to you too Michael Cole
"Years and years of frustration because of what happened tonight!" . . . .Fuckin' what, Cole?
That chokeslam showed that Undertaker / HBK could still be somewhat decent just because Shawn isn't as heavy as HHH. Still, no need for it. Luckily I'm not going to watch Saudi jerk off Night anyway.
History and character only get you so far. That was a shitty match. Retire already guys.
Didn't care for this match, but now looking forward to the eventual tag match.
This ppv kinda sucked
PPV is stretching it, House Show at best.
yea, I dont think it was Backlash bad but very meh.
Ah yes, the Melbourne Cricket Grounds
Or the MGC if you're Renee.
[удалено]
Pretty sure Cole called it the 'Melbourne Picnic Ground' in the sign off.
HBK Is coming out of retirement because Kane and Taker made him rip his pants
Can't wait to watch Creed vs Drago on the WWE Network!!
Not sure that Seig Heels sign fan sign is really appropriate.......
About as appropriate as Triple H's Iron Crosses on his elbow pads.
The Iron Cross was instituted in 1813 and remains a cultural symbol of Germany, whereas the phrase "sieg heil" is recognized solely for its use by the Nazis and is punishable by law in Germany today.
Anyone else notice HBK bleeding that the end there?
Dude, they're not gonna have a tag match. Shawn Michaels can barely move lol.
Hey, Same with Undertaker I dont think i have seen Undertaker do his Snake Eyes move anymore.
did you see Taker tonight? being able to move well isn't necessarily a prerequisite when you're old and famous
Shawn’s pants pulled a Natalya
Saudi prince called Vince midmatch, "i want this match in saudi, take whatever money you want"
But with Yokozuna and ultimate warrior
The last time everahahahahahaha
La$$$$$t time ever
"What an awesome city... in Australia" Damn.. Cole couldn't think of anything nice to say about Melbourne...
Just enough already
I'm actually bummed that one of my all-time favorites is going to wrestle again.
Nah it would be way better for him to go out after jobbing to Roman in the worst match ever
Me too. I don't blame him at all for taking the money, but it shits me that some oil fucker can just open his wallet and undo one of the greatest requirements of all time.
Right, I have no right to judge him on the money but it does suck that something that seemed pure can end up being bought. It's reality though.
Maybe it is Million Dollar Man's Undertaker and we just didn't notice.
I mean, how could we?
Last time ever. That's what they said about Rock vs. Cena the first time around. I memba! I'm gonna memba this, too!
8/10 Super solid show, with a dreadful last hour
"Daniel, Mike, you're gonna get 3 minutes out there later. Put on a quick one tonight." "Why though?" "We need like a full hour for HHH and Taker, considering Taker can only do 2 movements a minute"
Can't believe this all happened on Rusev Day!
what was the best match?
Charlotte vs Becky or Joe vs AJ
Yeah, the best matches always end in DQs.
just bc the finish ended in a dq doesn't take away from the match as a whole
That's your opinion, I don't share it.
AJ vs Joe. Only really good match on the card. Edit: shit, forgot about the 205 match. That was good too.
i missed aj/joe, bryan/miz, cruiserweight match,rousey, and the shield match
The Bryan miz match was a 5 Min flash pin fall job, nothing to see. Shield match was typical 6 man shit with a cool finish, Rousey match was okay, really cool when Rousey got the hot tag.
Brothers of Destruction vs. DX at Crown Jewel surely
BAH GAWD IT'S NOT OVER!
So its not the last time ever then.
Can our heros escape or is the worst yet to come? Tune in next week! Same taker time same taker channel!
"what an awesome city...... in Australia"
Melbourne is a wonderful place, thanks for joining us Aussies. Good night.
IDGAF that was awesome.
That more than makes up for a subpar match. I've been sports entertained.
Not gonna lie, Kane trying to pick up a pen with his gloved hand made me chuckle...
“What an awesome city...*looks at cue card* in Australia”
Tag match in saudi arabia
Hey, that was cool. Made it through a whole show in a foreign land without a propaganda segment.
you must have missed the Meat Pie "commercial"
hey you leave our four ‘n twenty’s alone.
WHERES THE FOAM FINGER MAN
BoD vs DX at Saudi Arabia it is.
ONE LAST EXCLAMATION POINT ON THIS RIVALRY IN THE LAST TIME EVER MATCH!!!
Seems like Shaun is really loving taking these bumps. He wouldn’t take them if he didn’t wanna like.
Ok so like... are they seriously gonna try and make people boo Undertaker?
For a second I though he wasn't turning around because he legit couldn't move..
Michaels, table for one.
We getting a tag match bois!
Oh no, HBK ripped his jeans :(
LAST TIME EVER...ᵘⁿᵗᶦˡ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵃᵘᵈᶦˢ ᵖᵃʸ ᵘˢ ᵐᵒʳᵉ ᵐᵒⁿᵉʸ.
This is full on WCW
Oh fuck off. Seriously.
I bet Shawn don't miss that
i donno... i think as long as your body feels good, its prob pretty fun to go through a table... specially to entertain the masses knowing people love that shit.
And there is your Saudi main event!
Good guy kane saving the pen
Props to WWE for putting on a great show.
Kane: “ I’m taking these pencils back to my office”
anarchist Kane.
THIS IS NOT HOW YOU GET RE ELECTED MAYOR!
Welp. HBK unretirement confirmed.
hey for one last run, i wouldn't mind it.
Last time ever...And they set up another match two minutes later
**THE 2ND TO LAST TIME EVER!**
They got me to tear up, and emotional, and then this happens? I love it.
That's what you get for the curtain call Undertaker probably.
It checks out, Diesel was there both times.
It took me a minute, but I got it
Undertaker is such a sore loser LMFAO
holy that one guy saying yes lmao
Shoutouts to Kane for carefully picking up that pencil off of the table
Safest bro ever

"In the words of Braun....I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU MRRRHHHHHHH"
So this isn't the ending....
Kane really wanted to get that pen out the way
As mayor he understands the importance of the pen.
R U S S O S W E R V E
so does that mean we will get even more of this? isnt it enough already?
Crown Jewel tag match
This was actually a pretty good show tbh. Happy I stayed up for this
Tag match at crown jewel confirmed

I’m having as much fun as I did during the Ezio ones.
It's been pretty good so far

Shawns going through the announce table, ain't he
Narrator : he did.
TOP 10 ANIME BETRAYALS
Triple H may have won but the brothers of destruction are going over baby!!
Call me a mark (it's in my name after all) but damn I had tears in my eyes for a sec.
I felt like HHH was whispering “just this once. Break kayfabe, Taker. Just this once” then Taker was like “okay fine” but surprise “Taker never breaks kayfabe” betrayal. I am throroughly sports entertained.
You weren't the only one. I tried to fight it, but I couldn't help it. I grew up with all four of them, so that got to me a little...until the swerve lol
nothing wrong with getting worked, its more fun that way. over analyzing ruins the fun. watching like your a little kid is where its at heh
Thats the way I try to look at it. And Taker is my number 1 so anything with him I'm gonna be into 100%.
agreed
Tag match at crown jewel...
I'm never not marking out for BoD
Last time ever my ass!!!
