Nostalgia shows like this are meh. The 24/7 title exchanges were horrible, I had at least expected to see Santino win it, not all the people who ended up winning/losing and it was all done so horribly.
And is it me, or did Foley look ill?? And not flu-like, like almost deathly sick. He doesn’t seem to have that mic presence anymore, it’s just dull. Bray attacking him was the best thing for that segment.
Austin was shaking out there it looked like, but he did his thing and smoothly flowed w the what chants. It’s a shame the network didn’t let that go over like they should’ve. I enjoyed Austin’s mindless nostalgia rant.
Hogan just did a Hogan shtick.
The opening segment “rap battle” was painful.
Best parts of the show were Joe/Roman and OC/Rollins. The OC is dope to me, I’m liking the colors and logo. They need a serious faction or two to really rival them, bc what they have right now don’t work. They need a new DX, Trips and Shawn gotta pass it to a new duo. Not gonna lie, almost thought they were about to do that when they came out to back up Rollins... thought that it was possible they were gonna bring out another dude to join and let him and Rollins take the DX to develop a new faction to face OC.. to me that would’ve been the best thing about the night.
The DX reunion thing is always corny to me, it doesn’t hit like it used to... everyone is too old and in new phases of life (Christians) that it falls flat knowing it doesn’t mix w the DX ideologies.
No Melina? or did I miss her?
Joe and Sami were spitting that heat about the reunion shows and legends. They summed up how I feel about them. Good stuff.
Overall, 5/10
