That was a strong back and forth match, had some great spots with the knee buckling on multiple high flying attempts like the top rope powerbomb he hurt himself on initially before hitting the Phoenix Splash and Steph's table bump, was a heel zones in on a faces injury story which was executed solid despite being rather ABC, and the ending sequence with all the pedigree attempts was great I thought.
The selling was awful. Seth's psychology, "I'm going to do every single move I normally do but I'm going to grab my knee for a few seconds afterward because I'm injured.". The knee buckling when he went for the sunset-flip powerbomb had me just rolling my eyes. I know there's a story there but by that point there was too much stupidity. I say all that and I've said many times on here that limb matches are my absolute favorite type of match.
The match dragged on. The finish was awful. Having the same finisher and continuously going to a move that can't be hit from different angles or instantaneously is dumb. The Stephanie bump seemed way out of place and to be done for nothing but a pop and Seth's pedigree looks awful.
Last but not least, let's not forget that HHH got the go ahead (somehow
) to take a chair to the head.
All this typing is making me think my two star rating is being too generous.
