WWE Battleground 2014
Tampa Bay, FL
July 20, 2014

Fandango vs Adam Rose - No rating
I honestly didn't watch the match, but i wish i had, not because of the quality of matches that either Adam Rose or Fandango could be in, but because of this
Hidden text.

Cameron vs Naomi - 2/10
when first announced, i thought that this feud needed a spot in the main card, after the match, pre-show was good enough to hide it from existence.

2 out of 3 falls WWE Tag Team Title Match
Usos (c) vs Wyatt Family - 6/10
Wrestling was good, but I've been seeing the same stuff over and over again, at this point, why would anyone be scared of the Wyatts anymore? They keep losing against the Usos, the USOS!! Oh well, hopefully Dust Brothers are up next for the titles, that would make a better feud than anything that has been going on with the tag division for the last several months.

Ambrose vs Rollins stuff - ok

WWE Divas Title Match
AJ Lee (c) vs Paige - 4/10
These two chicks, would have expected soo much more from them, sooo much more. They should have save this for Summerslam instead, given they get more time.

Jack Swagger w/Zeb Colter vs Rusev w/Lana - 5/10
Popped for Lana being about to say 'shut the fuck up!' to the crowd. Match was actually better than what i expected, they protected Swagger and Rusev keeps his 'streak'. Part two should be better.

Ambrose vs Rollins, Part II...ok, but if Hunter is trying to separate the two and get rid of Ambrose, why is he ok that Seth keeps attacking and making a mess out of this?

Chris Jericho vs Bray Wyatt w/Wyatt Family - 6/10
Good match really, but the wrong man went over in my opinion, i really don't know where any of this could go now. 5 of those points are just because Bray's entrance is amazing.

Ambrose vs Rollins, Part III...ok again, but it is the stupidest thing for Triple H to allow Rollins to leave, he's your plan B that you keep bragging about!!! Oh and i didn't pay attention, but i swear Rollins drove off without his stuff, including one MITB briefcase.

20 Man Battle Royal - 5/10
- Bunch of bullies attacking poor Khali
- Xavier took Brodus Clay's song and he's not even using it anymore
- I hate Kofi Kingston
- Heath Slater for the win!!
- Not even in a generic battle royal participation, Sandow gets to be Sandow, and in the words of BRM, 'Why is he getting a title shot if he hasn't won a match in months!?". I could apply the same for some other guys in the match.
- Ziggler losing just broke the IWC's hearts
- Marked out for Ryback vs Sheamus....but Ryback 'battle royal' jobs to him.

FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH FOR THE WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
John Cena(c) vs. Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton vs. Kane- 5/10
Reigns was overpowered, Kane and Orton were great, and Cena, i hate Cena, why can't he freaking sell the effects of a match when he wins!? He never sells the effects of a match, EVER!! Also, that spot where Reigns has the single leg crab and Cena locks in the STFU, really Cena? you're just gonna steal a win? get your own opponent to lock in your submissions, don't steal from Reigns!! Writing this just made me bump the match down some points.

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Snore of a show with terrible booking decisions. If you wanna save Ambrose vs Rollins for Summerslam, then don't fucking book it!

Because he's a heel and Rollins is his heel pal. He wanted to let Rollins get a few good shots in.

Yeah... but he got to do a ROAR! spot, so it was all cool in the end.

Lance Storm actually had a very interesting point: The guy you put in a spot like this is the babyface who you think would get the best reaction... and they did choose Ziggler. Of course, they could just be trolling us,

(1) yeah, i figured as much, it just seemed that at one point even Hunter was taken down when Rollins was jumping on top of everyone

(2) i actually popped for that and him eliminating Woods

(3)it's one of those things that break your heart, but at the same time, show you that the office knows exactly how we feel about Ziggler and what they have in their hands. they wanted to big heat for Miz, they got it last night.

That's because ROAR! spots are always awesome, without fail, no matter who is doing them.
