Way better match then the one at WM by far already.

It's everything the mania match should've been.

mrkiscool2

Ugh I get that Taker is supposed to be more motivated as he has nothing to lose, but having him kick out of a 3rd F5 so soon after the 2nd is ridiculous.

seandotcomm

Jon Stewart at the bell?!?!?!

Zemuppet

Ok?????

Omackeral

What the fcuking fcuk was that?

Moneymaker

What the **** was that?

ricero

Hon the **** taker ya old whoore ya. Rubber match at survivor series or mania perhaps

Lithium93_

WHAT THE ****

Chain Smoker

Regardless of the actual finish, Taker shouldn't have won this, with the streak gone his value is minimal and I think heading into next Wrestlemania on a loss would've been more interesting. They were absolutely desperate to not make Lesnar look weak (and rightly so), but they should've just gone the whole way and had him win.

Shaking my head like crazy right now.

Professional Griefer

WHY?!!!?!?!

Someone get the ****thiscompany.gif

Scorpion Sting

Undertaker tapped out!

Xenji

Sting vs Taker now at WM or a rubber match with Brock.

cooker3

They went for the Austin at WM 13 ending.

Well that show was a disappointment.

NXT smashed them into the ground.

Taker's face is going to give me nightmares.

P_1

Well that finish was something of a farce

It gets funnier everytime I see it, I can't even right now!

IvySlayer

Was expecting Lesnar to beat the **** out of Undertaker after he lost, with Kane coming out to save him. Double choke slam to Lesnar

thebostoncrab

I....I don't get it. Who thought that ending was a good idea?

I don't care about Taker winning, but ending it like that doesn't do anything for either man. 'taker looks like a heel and gets a pure fluke win while Lesnar looks like an idiot for letting the move go.

How many screwy finishes where there tonight? One is grand, but tonight just felt full of them.

To be fair to lesnar he let the move go as he felt taker tapping and heard the bell ring. It's a logical assumption he had it won.

Was there just 2 screwy finishes? The unification match was always gonna have one. And at least the taker one was a new one.

ricero

Due to the way this match ended I wouldn't be surprised if the rubber is at survivor series to mark takers 25 year anniversary in a last man standing match

There was that BS ending, there was the Jon Stewart interference in the unification bout and then there was a double count out in the Ziggler vs Rusev match. As the OSW boys would say... fuuuuuucccccckkkkk yeeeewwwww!

IncognitoMan

It was like we were watching battleground or some other B ppv where they are just trying to keep feuds going until the big ppv the next month.

It's pretty easy what they were thinking. Taker had to win for politics, even the score and all that. But Brock is on a monster push and we don't want to ruin any of his momentum as he is by far the best draw right now. Giving those 2 considerations you come up with this. A match both won kinda. It's stupid but there you go.
Brock winning clean was of course the far superior option but 0% chance of that happening.

Lithium93_

Either way it'll be interesting when Paul Heyman goes absolutely nuts on the mic on Raw...

Taker collapsed when walking to the back.

To be fair, I'd probably die if I was a ring with Brock for more than 20 seconds.

Insect Overlord

Had to watch that twice to see it properly. Looks like he got straight back up though.

Stereomaniac

What is the likelihood that he was trolling the audience by dropping to his knees just as he exited? I really enjoyed that match anyway, the ending was strange but didn't bother me much.

A Rogue Hobo

Lots of odd decisions booking wise but I really enjoyed the show overall! Divas was a snooze but everything else I enjoyed.

EDIT: That top rope suplex into the falcon arrow by Rollins was a thing of absolute beauty btw

Virtanen

Rollins/Cena the match of the night for me. Would have preferred a clean win for Rollins but at least he did pick up the win, even if it made no sense.

Hated the ending of Lesnar/Undertaker, it just throws all logic out the window. He rang the bell because he saw the tapout that the referee didn't... so where was he for the end of the Cena/Rollins match, when the ref was knocked out and Cena had the 3-count? Great match ruined by a screwy finish

Surely it's better to leave fans annoyed at the result of the final match as opposed to being confused by it?

Other than that, I enjoyed Orton/Sheamus, the tag team fatal 4 way and Cesaro/Owens. Ambrose/Reigns vs Wyatt/Harper wasn't bad, but not amazing. The rest I found hard to get too excited about.

Agreed, must have been a sickener for the live crowd. Wrestling should never be complicated, that's part of its appeal.

Anyway

New Day are amazing

rovert

On balance I really enjoyed the show there a lot of enjoyable moments and some strong performances sadly WWE WWE'd some of the finishes.

Furious-Red

Well that PPV was awful

Think you need a while to get over the anger of the ending and then look back at it. It was not an awful PPV.
