Not sold out. They were selling tickets for $7 right up to the event and there were pockets of empty seats and they had plenty of room to put people into the crowd for spots.

Based on those at the event, WWE pretty much shut off the feed on the tron whenever they showed ads for Crown Jewel. Got that upset over the crowd who kept booing it rightfully so.


The usual 10k-15k range for smaller PPV events.

Considering WWE supposedly barely cared about the event itself to begin with, made sense they'd use a house show or NXT format for the setup and lighting.

The question on everyone's mind:

How many Titties got honked?

:shifty:

I don't think Lawler was even there.

Not a fan of how this inspires women to be whatever they want to be.

You didn't even enjoy Becky killing Charlotte?

Also I'm pretty sure Shayna baszler is a man.

Thinking about checking out the Becky/Charlotte match. Was it as good as I hear?

Meltzer suggested it was one of the best main roster matches of the year.

Could make a strong argument on it being the best ever women's match on the main roster and MotY candidate in the WWE. I'd be shocked if WWE didn't put it in the Top 5/10 for their own list at the end of the year.

Only real complaint was the ref being comical at how inconsistent he was with the counting. Like the final 10 count shouldn't have happened since he called off similar downs earlier in the match.

I watched a condensed version of the show on YouTube. The Becky Charlotte match looked fun, although there were some clips of Becky being sorta cowardly in demeanor. I'm stunned she won honestly.

That's a very frustrating thing though, haha. It kind of defeats the hard work the women did. If I can't make sense of it, maybe I should give it a skip.

Yeah, I was predicting Charlotte to win and piss off the crowd.

You should definitely skip it, because you don't like good things anymore.

:roll:

I think it's been overhyped a bit, but the PPV is worth a watch. Becky vs Charlotte, Storm vs Shirai, and Sane vs Bayzler were all good. Everything else was at least a solid fun match.

Becky versus Charlotte was a touch sloppy at times but where they succeeded was with intensity and creating a big fight feel. Maybe not an all time classic, but they definitely delivered something worth talking about when the division needed it.

I preferred it over that clusterfuck NXT ladder match from earlier in the year that everyone acted like was the greatest thing ever.

I don't even watch the men, let alone the women. (I'm just being annoying, I like women's wrestling but I don't watch current wrestling at all. Judy Martin > Anyone on the show .)

I think I removed all ads through this thread. Now you can read everything I said.

It sounds like they avoided a lot of the "chokepoints" I thought they might hit. The sadist in me was kind of hoping they would, becomes sometimes a disaster of a show is more fun than something solid, lol.

That referee thing might seem little, but that sort of thing really bugs me. Is it super-noticeable?

Gertner actually attended the show. I have proof:


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">There was a dude in the men’s room last night at <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WWEEvolution?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WWEEvolution</a> ranting about wanting “hot lesbian action” and bra and panties matches. “That’s what we want!” The response was crickets.

The show would been actually entertaining. Pudding matches > Becky vs Charlotte.

It's this kind of toxicity that inspires people like Bad News Gertner to not want to post anymore.

Bad News Gertner hasn't been around in a long time has he?

His lack of presence is the worst news of all :(

Main event of this show is already being given away for free on YouTube by WWE.. It’s Rousey vs. Nikki Bella and for some reason it’s 20+ minutes long. Do they do a good job of making an excuse for why it takes Ronda over 20 minutes to dispose of Nikki Bella or should I just ignore it?

The condensed version I saw the night of the ppv showed her in peril and Brie giving her trouble. So I'm not sure how you'd take that.

How Ronda isn't a Brock Lesnar esque wrecking ball is odd tho. She doesn't need 20 minute matches. She might get more over just bulldozing people.

Why would she dispose of nikki bella in less than 20 min? Its a work. Everyone buying a ticket knows that grandpa

Nashvember is upon us and he's usually Nashgiving. Hopefully he'll make a return.

The same reason Lesnar doesn’t have 20 minute matches. If you’re booking someone as a killer, having them do the same long, competitive matches as everyone else is fucking stupid.

But again, if there’s some creative shenanigans that extend the length of the match, I’m all for it.

I hate Ronda selling for dainty divas, but the psychology was tight. Nikki only gained her advantage when her and Bri double-teamed/distraction tacticked her. She got posted a few times and it looked "brutal".

Her comeback was strong and she pretty much murdered Nikki. Nikki on offence was a bit blah, but Ronda needs a bit more time to work on those middle portions of the match which can come with seasoning

It was by no means a classic, or even a great match. But it was solid work from the two ladies.

Ronda's ring post spots have been great from what I can tell. Near Lesnar level.
