Rybotch is so boring i really don't know what WWE can do with him. He certainly isn't wwe champion worthy.
Forever a midcarder.

I hate watching any match with him, wish he'd just go away.
Kind of disappointed they didn't have a true tlc match or even a ladder match.

I posted that before the chairs match even happened and you are correct. I would have rather watched the divas for 5 more minutes. That's how bad it was...

That's just WWE's way of not putting over anybody 'clean'.
Yeah it gets old but damn somebody has to eventually get over.

Seriously. As much as I like Harper, Ziggler vs any of the high fliers (Rollins!) on the roster would have been much better. This is a ppv for the athletic talent yet was dominated by the heavyweights. I miss the Hardys and Dudleys. Hell, there was like one good spot off the top of the ladder.
Review wise I'd have to say it was a 2/5 for a PPV that would have been 6/5 with talent from the early 2000s.
Ladder Match - 3.5/5
Probably tied for the second best match of the night. Decent, but a few botches.
Tag match - 2.5/5
Mizdow sells. That's it.
Stairs match - 1/5
Snoozefest. Big Show is past his prime and you could call pretty much everything that happened. And none of that should have happened. I like Rowan as a talent though. Hoping he has a feud with Harper.
Face vs Heel match - 3.5/5
Was a little too long but guys going through tables always sell.
Divas title - 1.5/5
Boobs and butt.
US (European) title match - 1/5
Any match with Rusev is the new divas match to me. I just don't enjoy knowing he's always going to beat the same guys over and over again.
Chairs - 1/5
Kane needs to get off TV. Ryback needs to feud with Rusev so Vince can see that no one gives a shit about how big wrestlers are.
TLC match - 4/5
Best match of the night with another terrible ending. I'm glad they gave these guys the closer. But like The Voice said, this wasn't a true TLC match. This was more of a weapons match.
Overall I was mostly bored by the effort they put out. NXT R-Evolution was hands down the better (maybe best of the year) PPV. The WWE has really cooled down since the few months after Wrestlemania when they were producing. Yeah, there have been a lot of injuries but the writing staff just doesn't seem to know what they're doing. It's like instead of people who write for wrestling, they got SNL writers to create shows on a weekly basis. I almost don't want them to move some of the better NXT guys over to the main show because they're going to be left in the midcard or with pointless gimmick matches while golden boy and the band of merry giants get prime time. Raw should also go back to two hours. Even at two hours it seemed laboured sometimes, but now it just feels like a huge waste of time since they're still not really showcasing the younger talent on national TV.

The ppv as a whole was awful. Usually ones this bad have multiple divas matches on the card.
NXT Revolution was amazing. However their crowd has a lot to do with the quality. They sure make the show fun to watch.

Given the historically low expectations, I thought it was OK. Would've been a lot better with a clean finish to the Main Event.
Ziggler's match was great. Rest of the viewing audience was probably annoyed with how much they talked about him being from Cleveland, but I loved it.
Miz and Mizdow are still great. I like that they are moving them along slowly. We know this is a gimmick with a shelf life, so they are milking all they can out of it. Better than having these guys be everywhere for a while, then burning out after a month (like, say the Dust Brothers)
Couldn't they have just made the Ryback and Big Show amtches into a tag team to save the time? Noone cared about either match.
I like Rusev's build so far, as long as he can get a clean win over a top face (Cena, Bryan, Reigns, etc.). I know he has a clean win over Sheamus. Building him up to be a monster that has to be conquered is great, just give some legitimacy to the build.
Main Event was great. First of all, it Main Evented over Cena. It was a great match until the end. Only positive I can say about the end is that I legit wondered if it was staged for a minute.

Clearly staged, I didn't wonder for a second. It was pretty obvious because he wouldn't have tried to extend the cord after it didn't make it there again.
Divas match was a copy of a knockouts match that happened earlier this year.
I too am tired of russev and show/kane both just need to go away. Annoyed they pushed a 40+ year old over Rowan. Ryback needs to join them.

Oh Mike Tyson was on Cheap Heats podcast a few weeks ago and said he'd love to come back to WWE. They need to seriously consider this. Find a way to get him on TV. He probably cant work but I'd pay to see Iron Mike as the on air GM. Or a manager for someone. Just give him a mic and watch something special happen.
