+Petyr Baelish Lesnar was shown to be carried off barely standing and that's clearly why the played the backstage clip of Ambrose and Reigns talking about leaving and celebrate and party. I assume the notion is that Kane was too beat up after the title match to come out, too.
+ShaunLovesAnimating They haven't started working Lucha Underground yet and AAA is in another country so there's no "legality" over that one. WWE most likely is on a working agreement with AAA to use ADR. I guess WWE realized how they left him out to dry while covering the ass of the company "employee" Cody Barbierri (however it's spelled...) that eventually left anyway.
+TurnaboutAdam Finally! Someone else! I thought it was the second best match of the night (behind Taker and Lesnar) and was really entertaining. Probably more to do with Seth than anything, I guess. It's like Sting said, Seth could wrestle a broom and make that the best match of the night.
My problem with it was Kane. He didn't really look like the demon they had tried to build up. It would have been cool if Rollins had been beaten a bit more and really looked like he was in deep trouble. And the table botch was pretty bad... But I enjoyed watching Rollins as usual. The guy is so entertaining in the ring.
+Ryan Woods stings necks fucked and not even wwe are dumb enough to book Lesnar and taker as friends a month after they fought a bloody battle inside Hell in a cell
I personally quite enjoyed HIAC. Cena lost clean, New Day retained, as did Charlotte and Owens, both cell matches were great, my favourite being Reigns v Wyatt (fight me), and the ending was legitimately shocking. Overall I think it was a pretty solid PPV. Not perfect, but still quite good.
not persoannly a fan of match specific PPV's (HIAC, TLC etc) makes the match less special when you know when you're going to see one of the 'special' match types, would much prefer if these matches were at random points throughout the year
***** i used to love mitb at wrestlemania but now it has its own ppv i personally think it's a load of crap (i also agree with what you said about the rumble)
"Okay Alberto you can come back, but you have to show us how well you can deal with racists now, we're putting you with Zeb Colter, our favourite racist!"
One things about Hell in a Cell that really irked me was the Charlotte VS Nikki match. An Alabama Slam to the out side of the ring should end carriers! Yet she no sold it, and won 2 mins later. Holy crap that's dumb! That is as bad as Cena getting DDT'ed on concrete and winning !
Cena's taking a break so he gave the title away before taking a break from the wwe and making his return when Del rio being who he is tries his own U.S challenge
4:10 No, the wrong man won! I am so sick of the WWE burying superstar after superstar to put over a part timer like Lesnar! He rarely bothers to show up and refuses to wrestle on RAW or Smackdown, and the way they're putting him over makes it look like the entire WWE is beneath him!
it feels like a special occasion when brock lesnar shows up, that's what they want, and its a perfect idea to feed undertaker to Brock, cause he'll retire anyway.
+Mustafa Alhusseiny Oh sure, it's a very special occasion when the almighty Lesnar deigns to grace us with his presence. That's not a good enough reason for the WWE to invest so much in someone who is hardly ever here! Obviously, the Undertaker isn't quite done yet. And even if he was, it would be better to let him end with his legacy intact than to cut him down like that. It was disrespectful to the legendary Undertaker to use him as just another piece of fodder for a guy who doesn't even care enough to stick around.
+Aquedonte I agree! There has to be a reason in the story why they took him, unless it's just to torture him lol...They would have just kicked his ass and left him...the brainwashing idea is perfect for their backwoods cult gimmick
I don't think that Wyatt will defeat Undertaker at Survivor Series and this is a problem for Wyatt's credibility: he says that heroes don't exist and he want to show people that by facing them and playing mind games with. But 80% of the feud against the Big ones ended with Wyatt's defeat: Bryan, Cena, Taker, Reigns
+Francesco Vuocolo And that sucks because majority of the people who aren't casuals or families want to see him succeed (just look at the fireflies even when he attacked taker).
+Francesco Vuocolo Yeah, same goes to Reigns too, though. he hasn't went over in a storyline in awhile now, it's nice to see him finally get over a little, but i would've rather seen Wyatt win, Wyatt has lost like every feud except the one with Jericho.
Cesaro was so impressive in his match, he made the pre-show worthy of being somewhere much higher on the card. The pops he got and the way he had the crowd into that match shows that he is too good for his own good. Adam, how would you book Cesaro in the future? (because it's obvious to everybody that he deserves better and can do more)
"I don't know where Wyatt brings his victims..." According to the Daniel Bryan feud two years ago, just out to the parking lot and then they get ditched there.
My dream of Undertaker's retirement was that Brock wins his match last night and then kane comes out, rips the door off the cell and feuds with Taker until wrestlemania. A buried alive match. Taker chokeslams kane into the cakset, celebrates his victory. Then Kanes hand comes up and drags taker down with him. The casket closes, purple smoke and fire. Then everything goes dark. The Gong sounds 25 times (For how many years taker has been in WWE) and then it fades out. Neither wrestler to be heard from again. Double retirement match.
I personally think that the reason for Wyatt getting Taker is because before Wrestlemainia Wyatt "resurrected" Taker and now he's putting him back into the grave
newfacepaula no, he's just sending him back to hell, probably through some cult sacrifice to sister abigail and absorb his powers to become the mega power ranger and take down godzilla to become tna world champion
I loved the Wyatt ending. Bray has been weak recently and can't win over Roman, I think he blames it on the loss to Undertaker at WM31, sorta like Cena that second year they were building up him and The Rock at mania. Bray feels like Undertaker killed his momentum and now Bray can't get it back, so he is going to take it out on Undertaker. I think the match at SS will be huge, and Undertaker might just retire there considering it is his anniversary and everything, I think it would be fitting. I don't really see them setting up Undertaker at WM32, he should have retired at HIAC, but when I think about it SS would fit just perfectly for that.
There were definitely good matches in this PPV. Roman vs Wyatt was awesome. Brutal match that brings that looooong feud to an end New Day vs Dudley Boyz had a great finish. The unicorn thing is dumb as hell XD Charlotte vs Nicki surprised me. I haven't been paying attention to Nicki but she's WAY better than I remember her. Loving her powerhouse style. Lesnar vs Undertaker was arguably the best match of the night. Only thing I wish is that the Tombstone had actually landed on the exposed wood. Kinda knew the Wyatt's would come back because the WWE wouldn't stop advertising Undertaker's 25 year anniversary. With that said, the genuine heel heat will drive this feud.
+TakerKaneanite619 Well we all know how wwe create is these days, and seen as though there is probably going to be another kane angle with the Authority...
U called it right...... barring the last fight the ppv was meh..... not urgghh, not wow but meh...... booking the wwe title fight as a mid card match sums up that completely
Make a "how WWE should book Del Rio"! I would make a match between Del Rio and Jack Swagger because Del Rio is now with Zeb Colter and I would but Ricardo Rodriguez with Jack Swagger and the match will be for the United States Championchip. But at the Pay per view Del Rio and Ricardo screwes Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger somehow and Del Rio retains the Championschip. After the Pay per view we have the old teams back with Del Rio and Ricardo and Zeb Colter with Jack Swagger. These teams agains eachother was really good back in the days and why not continue it with the storyline being, how could we trust immigrants like you two and Del Rio would brag about it all the time about how he is better and smarter than all of you Americans (Del Rio Heel) and Zeb and Jack will be those who stands up for the Americans with the "We the people" stuff (Jack babyface). Del Rio wins the next Pay Per view by some kind of a setup again and the storyline after that will continue with Zeb and Jack coming out and saying we will not give up until we get you two. Del Rio will all the time he face´s Jack win by some kind of setup and all the time he will come out and say how he is so smart and how stupid all the Americans are and brag with all of his cars just to make him the ultimate Heel. What do you guys think? Adam, can you do it better? ;)
For the Wyatt vs Undertaker angle I think we are gonna see Kane and Sting appear to help The Undertaker. I can see the Wyatts surround the ring against the Brothers of Destruction, lights go out, come back on and there is Sting in the middle of the ring, side-by-side with Kane and Undertaker ready to do battle against the Wyatts. This is all if he is healthy, which again in this type of Survivor Series match he can be easily protected. I believe this will lead to them facing of at WM32. Sting can say I did you a favor, now you return the favor and face me at Mania. I also see the 4th member as Finn Balor, he would fit perfectly in this match as his dark character would be perfectly suited. I can see him as the "shocking 4th man" on the night of the PPV. He would get an amazing rub from it.
I feel like as much as she's improved, the sooner WWE removes Nikki Bella from the title picture, the better. Let's get some good old fashioned NXT rivalries going!
A lot of people comment on these videos by saying Adam should be hired by the WWE, but I disagree. I doubt a lack of decent writing talent is the issue the WWE has right now. It's more the weird sponsorship deals, and the inability to show certain things on television these days. I would rather have Adam unhindered by these rules, and able to make videos giving props when due, and criticism when needed. Oh, and more videos of embarrassing stuff from the WWE's past, because those are gold.
I understand why people think Rollins' reign is terrible, but that's just wrong. He's a heel. He's supposed to win by cheating or manipulation, he's suppose to look beatable and he's supposed to use whatever tactics he can to slip away from danger.
I really hate the fact, that Lesnar won. I can't stand this guy and the only way I'd like to see him ever again is losing to somebody. I don't care to whom. For all I care it could be Hornswoggle.
I'm calling it, they are going to have an excuse for John Cena being out after one finisher. He suffered a "concussion," this will also be a good excuse for him not being on television.
The most idiotic thing about creative is that those 4 guys in the Wyatt Family should decimate the roster. What will creative do... Fuck it up. A solid stable for the attitude era but lost here sadly.
this isnt about wrestlemania it's about survivor series the undertaker's 25th anniversary it clear that it's gonna be the wyatts vs the undertaker Kane randy orton and possibly sting.
We need Balor to come defend Taker. It makes sense! He can be a mystery tag partner for taker! He can be all like 'I've invited a demon to help me' *heartbeat* *breath* *balor's music hits*. HOW WWE SHOULD BOOK FINN BALOR'S DEBUT
I agree with you mostly, however the Bray vs Roman match was one of the best matches i have watched in a long time. Personally, I thought it was the best match of the night.
The ppv was ok i guess i don't think the brock vs taker cell match was as great as adam made it sound but the roman vs wyatt cell match was awesome in my opinion
The fuck was that cage even for? Seemed like a normal boring day of wrestling while trying to squeeze some kind of feature in, which hasn't even been used...
Matches of the Year so far: Bayley vs Sasha (Brooklyn and Respect) Taker vs Brock (Hell in a Cell) Seth,Brock,Reigns (Royal Rumble) Anyone else wanna jump in?
I mean, Taker vs Lesnar was good, definitely the best match of the night, but I feel like it was extremely rushed. I was expecting 10 more minutes of fighting when the final pinfall happened. Oh and Lesnar's blade job was really bad. It reminded me of Eddie's. But like I said, it was definitely the match of the night
I agree with you. I personally think this was one of the WORST HIAC PPV EVER. The matches were boring and predicted. I didn't enjoy that much the Undertaker vs Lesnar thing: Ok those two are Awesome wrestlers and WWE Legend, but come on they could have done a way better match, there were some parts where Lesnar was getting hit by Undertaker on purpose, and i know that the match is scripted but come on, at least try to make it real. The only thing i enjoyed was the blood coming from Lesnar's head and the exposed ring part. Moreover there was no announce table crushing, No cell climbing, not even a fall from the top of the cell. Why the hell do you script a Hell In A Cell Match, if you don't use the cell during the match ( apart from the irish whip part). I'm NOT blaming the superstars, i'm blaming the ones who made the matches.. I'm Sorry but this is NOT a TRUE HIAC PPV!!!!
Wyatt Family vs The Ministry of Darkness or Wyatt Family becoming the New Ministry of Darkness. Who knows? Just giving ideas on how should WWE book Taker's last Run
If it was not for that nut punch, I would have been convinced Brock would come out to save Undertaker. After all, I feel like Brock respects when somebody puts up a good fight. And could you imagine it! All 4 of the Wyatt family vs The Undertaker and Brock Lesner! Holy shit.
I wasn't thrilled about HIAC as a whole, but I loved the Wyatt Family coming out and carrying Taker off. It had that, "It's time to come home," feel to it, although I highly doubt we'll see Taker as part of the family.
7/10 Negatives Copy paste arena Terrible booking Only 2 hell in a cell matches Wtf Ten minute cena match No Dean Ambrose Bray changing the story line New Day still champs Kane Fucking losing Seth winning off others injury Lagging Positives Decent matches Good hell in a cell matches Breaking kayfabe Alberto al paltron returning Pre show was better than the real show Cesaro Neville ziggler finally get wins Divas steal the show yet again ^tearing it up Yea
i dont think so i think Bray and taker will have the Survivor Series match then Taker a noshow untill a few weeks before Mania to fight hopefully Sting if not someone young and Talented to finally Retire Taker and it cant be anyone it has to be someone that will be believable like , Kevin Owens, maybe a better Ryback, a Heel Roman Reigns, maybe Bray but i was leaning more into Stroman someone big and believable. on Alberto Del Rio.... he was shiny because of that new Million $$$$ Contract he signed. people are praising him for beating Cena "even known WWE Ruined that saying he is taking time off" and not pointing out he sold out. which is weird... he came back like a face and everyone is treating him as a heel... but w/e
Taker and Wyatt will probably fight at Survivor Series not WM 32. I still think Taker will retire in Dallas but definitely not against Wyatt. After the Rumble Taker's Road to WM will start I believe!
I loved it. Both Hell in a Cell matches were solid. After Reigns v Wyatt I wasn't sure that Lesnar v Taker could really top that, especially with Taker's age, but god damn did it ever deliver. Both matches were exciting, and fresh, and we saw a lot of things we hadn't seen in HiaC matches in a long time. I was also legitimately shocked that Cena lost clean, but I guess they had to book it that way so there was no reason for Cena to stick around longer than he has to. I also love the Kane story in the WWE championship picture, but the match itself felt underwhelming. I kind of expected it to be, because... well... kane is old. So I can't really fault that. Ownes v Ryback was shit, but thankfully it'll give KO reason to move on to some REAL opponents.
I believe, if done correctly, the WWE can pass the torch from the Undertaker to Bray in a respectful manner. The company needs a "face of fear." It's just built into the foundation of professional wrestling. You need big scary spooky man. Bray lives his character. You truly believe that he is the leader of some backwoods cult. He's also one HELL of a performer. He's becoming a master of ring psychology - something that isn't seen all that often these days. I'm not sure how they do it, but I believe the WWE will right their wrongs of the past. I believed Bray should have won at Wrestlemania, retiring the Undertaker. But that did not happen. This past year gave Taker an awesome string of events to go out on. The time for the eater of worlds is now. Just make it happen correctly. How WWE should book the passing of the Taker torch?
They were advertising Survivor Series as "The 25 Anniversary of The Undertaker's Career" so maybe they will have team Wayit Family (who only needs one more guy) vs. Team Undertaker and it would be cool if he had people from his past (who can still wrestle) be on his team, Kane obviously one of them, but imagine if he had guys like Triple H and The Rock on his team
What i Learned: Vince likes to Kill Legends Legacy Sting,Taker,Kane ect Cena losing means he's starting his Vacation now Charlotte sucks as the Champ,Where's Natalya?
to be Honest ... the Hell in a Cell Match of the Decade would be Taker vs HHH WrestleMania 28 , Lesnar vs Taker was a normal match not that epic I mean come'on Edge vs Taker in a Hell in a Cell 2008 was better
Look Adam the reason WWE gave the Wyatts to Undertaker is because we're all tired of Bray fucking up every chance Roman and Dean have at titles. Now who isn't ready to see Reigns as WWE World Heavyweight champion Also WWE just wants Taker to stay longer and not leave already like he usually does.
I was expecting sting to come out with the wyatts or when they surrounded the ring sting and kane would appear then we have a match set up, Brothers of Destructions + Sting V.S The Wyatt's, since kane is know back to actually wresting or what ever he did in the past but quiet honestly I think that would be a good match. But Idk maybe they will work in sting idk
And also I dont know what the fuss is about Del Rio, he's a great wrestler and the WWE need names right now to pull a bigger audience back. Great move honestly, better than a Tyler Breeze or Dolph Ziggler. But yeah the finish was weak.

Since Alberto doesn't have a finisher that's not a submission and John Cena hasn't tapped out before (LIES) basically WWE doesn't want John Cena to tap out Alberto had to use a signature
The blood alone in the Taker vs Lesnar HIAC match makes it a Match of the Year candidate IMO. THAT is how all cage type matches should be done in wrestling!
Wyatt Family V Team Taker at Survivor Series: Taker - Undertaker, Kane, Sting? (Assuming he is fit), Ambrose, Jericho? (Assuming Sting isn't fit) Wyatt - Bray, LOU KARPER, Rowan, Strowman
Me and my friend were just shouting for Kane and Daniel Bryan to come out at the end along with Brock. Would be a good match for the Undertaker's 25th anniversary.
Strangely I thought the last match was good, but not great. Like you mentioned, a lot of "reruns", so it's hard to really get invested. When you're not invested, you see the match for what it was and that was a slow, nasty looking brawl between an old guy and a guy who's getting older. Still loved the match because it's two of my favorite guys ever, and it's one of the better main events in forever, but boy do I wish I cared more leading into it and I wish it didn't end in a way where I feel like we haven't seen the last of these two in a match. I thought Roman v. Wyatt was a lot better. Two guys I didn't care too much about, in a feud I REALLY couldn't care about, had a match that made me stand up from my seat. That alone told me Bray and Roman def. do have a bright future in WWE as long as the booking works in their favor.
