WWE Backlash 2017 - Page 4 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Didn't realize until that promo that they were in Chicago, so it's no surprise that the crowd has been elite, but they've been pitch-perfect simply by virtue of:
1. Being really loud and enthusiastic; and
2. Cheering faces and booing heels without spending the whole show getting cute and trying to put themselves over.

You know would actually be interesting? wipe out the welcoming committee and bring up Asuka, Ruby and Nikki from NXT

I have this strange attachment to Nattie where I persistently tend to like her no matter how much she sucks.

What is the premise of this match? Seems pretty random imo

Half watching and it's on mute so when Ellsworth came out, I thought, "wow Enzo has gotten small since I last saw him".

Seems like it's just "Becky Lynch is taking a risk and choosing to trust Charlotte." And then there are some other women.

Could this end up with Becky tagging in Charlotte > Charlotte hits the ropes while strutting and nails Becky in the face? I'm down for that again. epic gif

Was hoping for that very thing, but Charlotte has already come in and run some offense. Part of the magic of Sting/Flair was that Flair was hot-tagging in for his first action of the match.

Ellsworth has been in the women's division for a long time now.

Nattie probably has more PPV wins via Sharpshooter than Owen now.

Way to replay that insanely obvious botch by Becky/Natalya (mostly Nattie).

He can be useful as a face - he's certainly very over as a face - but it's pretty bad to have someone as a babyface world champion when you have to think that he's almost nobody's favorite wrestler. Being the whole crowd's fifth-favorite wrestler does not make good world championship material.

WWE likes to have cool-down matches in between the two big matches.

Owens looks young and not like a heel.

I think that a person writing a recap story about this PPV could already all but lock in an overall event conclusion of "not terrible, but totally forgettable."
