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.

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.
