Elimination Chamber 2020 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I gotta say, it would be way better if they just didn't have a PPV between royal rumble and WM.

Also, if they change how the network works and try to make us pay for PPVs again I will never watch any of these B shows (and to me, they're all B shows except royal rumble and WM. Summerslam and Survivor Series both suck).

Daniel Bryan vs Drew Gulak.

Apparently this match has been in the works since two days ago at Friday Smackdown.

What a build!

Totally phoned-in card but I'll enjoy watching the mid-card get some shine.

With the caveat that Gulak has been portrayed as a goober who shouldn't really be going toe-to-toe with DB for that long, that was a great match. The sort of old school technical stuff you never see anymore. Huge change of pace from current WWE and modern wrestling in general.

Drew has bryan in some dragon choke hold. Announcers say "the question is will daniel bryan be able to get out!?"

...cut to Drew simply letting go for no reason 3 seconds later. Then bryan ours on his own submission hold and the match ends.

This match was zero entertaining to me. Whatever.

What's the point of having that symbol interrupt and show up on the screen every week if nobody is going to even acknowledge it and ask what it is?

They also seemed to confirm Mania will still be on the network this year. F my luck!

The internet loudmouths tell me I'm wrong and that bryan match was awesome.

On to the US Championship match. Andrede vs Umberto (?).

I don't know who these people are, although I recognize the names.

I can't believe that in the year 2020 Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross are both working announcers.

...and Goldberg and Jericho are champions.

Incredible. My 20 year high school reunion was last year and those guys were all big when I was a junior.

I can't speak to this match. I went outside and slammed a beer. Missed the whole thing.

Incredible that this card is even worse than a Saudi PPV

When was the last time we had a non-women’s PPV that had neither World Champion on it?

Re: the card

Super awful.

...
Up now, the men's tag team elimination match.

Seems to be a cluster in the making, but we shall see.

Elimination Chamber can not be a stop gap between two of the biggest PPV's.

The luche team each just did a high flying move that was successful, and left the guy doing it passed out on the mat.

I hate stuff like that- the kayfabe explanation for doing a big jump that even if it works, leaves all of you on the ground motionless is...

So these teams are all killing each other inside a cage for the right to lose on Smackdown every week?

These matches are kind of dumb because of all the spots where multiple guys are just laying around for minutes at a time pretending to be unable to move.

I thought the Humberto and Styles matches were pretty damn awesome. Liked the Bryant match a lot too — pretty stiff.

Seth Rollins is in the tag team title match vs the street profits.

...Rollins' partner is Murphy (?), and they're accompanied by the AOP.

Seth claims he's the best legit wrestler in the world. lol. In the words of that old Ali G skit, "I have evidence to the contrary backstage."

They just did a 1 vs 3 match. On a PPV. For a title.

I can't believe I'm watching this still.

Of note:

They have been saying WM will be on the network.

So we're save this year...

Hmm...I just had a thought. If this coronavirus thing keeps going the way it is and with all those people traveling internationally for Mania every year....???

At least the one didn't rise above the odds. That really is some sort of progress.

I have no idea what Asuka is shouting, but I'm thoroughly entertained. Asuka in a pod should be a show.
