Elimination Chamber

[Minx]

Did anyone watch?

Thoughts?

I watched most of it...

women's elimination chamber - predictable af
mcmiz vs usos - surprising cause of what happened a couple days ago
2 on 1 - had a feeling that Finn would win and would pin Lio to do it
Ronda/Ruby - knew ronda would win but it was a squash and a bit of a disappointment. Love the post match bit with Becky fuckin' shit up
Corbin/Strowman - stopped really paying attention here. feels like they're trying to bury braun tho
men's elimination chamber - didn't watch but had a feeling bryan would win

The men's elimination chamber wasn't so bad. Truly Kofi and Bryan made it what it was, whereas others were meh. Probably would have been better with more fresh faces. Like Randy needs a revamp or to retire. I'm kind of sick of him after all these years tbh. I legit only watched for Kofi and foolishly somewhere in my heart hoped that this was his moment. Either way it was nice for him to have the moment. He's so deserving and never puts on a bad natch. Like thought out the years I have always loved him, which is rare because usually I'm the dork who likes the "bad guys.'

The women's was okay. But I'm sick of certain spots that they constantly do, such as when one woman climbs the turnbuckle then everyone rushed to do some suplex + powerbomb spot. Like please stop that, it's over done. Also I was living for Mandy Rose's weave track falling out in the first five seconds, lmao. 

I was surprised by the Usos as well, but I'm kind of happy. I don't care for the Miz or Shane tbh.

The Ruby one was disappointing to me as well. She really deserved more. I'm not the biggest fan of the Squad and it seemed like a filler/meaningless match from the start. The Becky bit really saved it.

Skimmed through the Fin match and as for the others I didn't watch. I could care less about Corbin so I refuse to even sit through it.

I thought her hair was longer at the beginning. For a moment I thought I was seeing shit or my mind was confused haha.

I also don't care for McMiz.

Yes Ruby deserved a hell of a lot more than what she got.

Women's match was okay. Some decent sequences. I was hoping to swerve on the obvious Sasha/baley win by giving it to nia/tamina


Thank god for the usos. I too hated McMiz.. And i love the miz, but he needs to be heel.

Finns match was boring but happy to see him get a belt for once lol

Riotts squash was big Dissappointment. Why are they giving her the Brock treatment?

Becky is become a God.

Fast forward through Corbin cause... Corbin.

Mens was decent in a dream world kofi would have one. Maybe after that they will give him the main event push he deserves

I didn't watch it because it was very clearly just a throw away show that they weren't sure what to do with. I did, of course, look at the results afterwards. I expected and hoped Kofi would lose the men's chamber match solely because I believe the story is better if he loses now, and claws his way into that spot at Wrestlemania against Daniel Bryan. There is no one I want to see more in the WWE title match at Wrestlemania than Kofi, and he deserves to win it there, on the biggest of stages. Just imagine what it will feel like if after all this time he finally wins it AND it's at the biggest event of the year. The pop will be huge, and it's a classic feel good Wrestlemania moment.

For me Nia/Tamina was worst case scenario. I mean I get why they went with Sasha & Bayley. Not mad about it. It'll give the title credibility having them as the first holders. I mean in all honestly, who deserved to be the first before them? I love the Iconic Duo but they have a bit more to go until then, others too. 

As for Kofi for WrestleMania, I think this would be really cool too so I'm not that mad about to either. I can't really see anyone having interest in any other match for the title other than this.

It's really weird because I haven't really watched in awhile but in the past months I have been so heavily invested. 

[nunnely]

I haven't watched a show in years, I just read the results. I have no idea honestly what either show is doing. All I want right now is Brock Lesnar out of the WWE. Him holding onto the universal title for so long makes me think so less of the championship. Right now, the IC Title is better than the Universal title.

The women's division is just overall better than the men's division. They just have better character development and story arcs and they deserve an insane amount of credit for outclassing the men every single night.

Glad Finn Balor won the title, Bryan as champion is good for the company, Miz needs to be heel like everyone else has said, stop bringing in part timers (which I have noticed they've reduced so that's a positive), push Kofi, etc.

Corbin I think they're Mis-using a bit, Braun is a pussy not a monster at this point, I don't know. WWE hardly makes sense for me anymore, they've gotten to the point where they've gathered so much incredible talent: Rollins, Styles, Bryan, Lashley, Ambrose, Balor, Kofi, Ambrose, Miz, Braun, Bray Wyatt (who I think they're rebuilding if they haven't let him go), and the list honestly goes on an on. Aleister Black, #DIY, and Ricochet just joined the main roster on Raw. They have a surplus and just don't know what to do with it.

This, in my opinion, is the biggest problem facing WWE today. In their immense greed they have acquired too much talent and don't have enough time, or creativity apparently, to give them all the spotlight they deserve.

I know at one point they wanted Kenny Omega as well. They've just gathered so much and let a lot of it go. Eric Young had a great stint in TNA and I honestly forgot he was on the roster. Jeff Hardy could still put on some good matches, but in his prime he always had the plug pulled on him. Granted, he had a lot of legal and drug issues that probably were focal points to the plug being pulled. Matt Hardy was at his peak in popularity with the broken gimmick and, yes there were legal issues that they worked around and I'm assuming since they called it woken instead of broken they didn't get full rights or any at all.

They misunderstood how to use Cody Rhodes who is starting his own promotion with some investors. WWE still has Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe, Randy Orton, established veterans who have credibility to be back in the main event picture. They're like Costco if Costco sold premium wrestlers.
