as an American, I would love WrestleMania: London (or even WrestleMania Australia). it'll be much earlier in the day, I can watch it and still have time in the day to do other stuff.
It would be awesome, but it amuses me. It's really obvious because of timing, that the only reason they're planting seeds now, is because AEW has over 65k tickets sold for Wembley Stadium in September without a single match being announced.
That math doesn't check out, Spektrum... London was earlier in the day because they're to the East of us. Australia is to the West though, so a PLE there would be even LATER in the day for us than a typical show time.
@@Centrifuze The Earth is round. Australia is still East of USA from the International Date Line, even more East than UK. So a PLE in Australia would be even EARLIER in the day for US viewers. 7pm Sydney = 10am London = 2am Los Angeles on the same date
A 5 AM EASTERN WRESTLEMANIA AUSTRALIA START(3AM PRESHOW) WOULD BE HORRIBLE FOR FOLKS LIKE ME IN NYC!! I WOULD BE FINE IF THEY MOVED ALL PAY PER VIEWS(OR PLE'S) TO A 4PM EASTERN START(3PM PRESHOW)!!

The frog splash from Logan that didn’t break the ladder was my favorite part of that match lol 😂
Men’s MITB - 3.75 ⭐️
Women’s Tag Team - 2.25⭐️
IC Match - 3.5 ⭐️
Cody v Dom - 2.5 ⭐️
Women’s MITB - 4 ⭐️
WHC Match - 3.5 ⭐️
Bloodline CW - 4.75 ⭐️
Average Match Score ~ 3.5 ⭐️
Audience - 4.5/5
Production - 3/5
A good show that could have been a bit better but a great crowd made MITB a fun watch overall.
Damian and Knight are both 40…I agree Priest has more storyline potential with the briefcase and should have won, but if wwe wanna use age as an excuse for Knight then why this double standard? I just hope Knight gets some good material going forward.
Age obviously isn't the issue. I think Knight has enough genuine star power and buzz around him that the briefcase just benefits Priest more at this point. Next year we'll probably get a male babyface briefcase winner.
@@CentrifuzeI agree Priest is a heel, so how does he benefit. By getting heel heat winning the match over the fan favorite. But he also has the most story potential with it and where the Judgement Day seems to be headed. Knight just needs to be pushed and start winning. He’ll make a feud without a title fun. He’d elevate a midcard title and would be over even as a world champ. He doesn’t need the briefcase just needs WWE to capitalize on how over he is.
Age isn't an issue, their multiple year long UWU champion, is 38. I've never actually seen WWE themselves mention Knights age as being any sort of detractor. It's the fans that make speculation and rumors into facts.
Men’s MITB: 3.5
Riddle vs Gunther: 3.25
Cody vs Dom: 2.5
Women’s MITB: 4
Rollins vs Balor: 3.5
Bloodline Civil War: 5
😅
Dave fears S&L 😬
I definitely think the women’s MIB ladder match was better then the men’s. I would of gave it 4 in a quarter or 4 in a half. Great job guys love your content.
i really expected Cody to make Dom look good in their match. or at least have some super over the top shenanigans with Dom and Rhea. instead we got a 2nd hour of Raw level match. why did we even bother with the build
Men MITB: 4/5
Women MITB: 4.25/5
Cody Rhodes vs. Dominik Mysterio: 2.5/5
Ronda & Shayna vs. Raquel & Liv: 2.5/5
Gunther vs. Riddle: 3.5/5
Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor: 3/5
Usos vs. Roman & Solo: 4.75/5
Women’s MITB is the only match over a 3. Roman and USO’s match was way too slow and finishers were overused imo.
Agree the women mitb Match is by far the best match of the night
Men’s MITB - 4⭐, Women’s Tag Team Tiltles - 2.5⭐, WALTER Match - 2.5⭐, Cody vs Dom - 2⭐, Women’s MITB - 4.25 ⭐, WHC Match - 3⭐, Bloodline Civil War - 4 ⭐
Overall felt like a huge show because of the crowd with them adding so much to each MITB & the Civil War.
Bloodline civil war was a 5 simply because every step of the way they managed to turn a real wrestling match into a wrestling movie, it made me cry tears of joy, it made me sweat with excitement and horror, and it made me laugh, and most importantly it was a beautiful story. it’s everything i love about wrestling incapsulated into a 25- 35 minute period.
Rollins/Finn match was terrible, in my opinion. The finish was horrible. It made Finn look super weak after building him up.
the match was mostly good but wow the finish was bad. I have no interest in breaking JD up, but if they had to do it, Finn should have beaten Rollins and we get some serious tension in the faction
@@tiredghostsAgreed. Poor Finn gets stuck with these dumb finishes, I’m sure, because people making the decisions feel like they’re “protecting” him with these wonky decisions. I’m in the same boat thinking Finn winning could lead to a Evolution type slow build to some big turn for Priest.
Men's MitB: 4
Rousey & Baszler vs. Morgan & Rodriguez: 3
Gunther vs. Riddle: 3.5
Rhodes vs. Dom Mysterio: 3
Women's MitB: 3.5
Seth vs. Finn: 3.5
Roman & Solo vs. Usos: 4.5
You mentioned it during the Cody match, but production was not on their game aaaall night. So many spots missed while they kept the camera super tight on a single competitor.
WrestleMania Australia - Melbourne would be insane and I would be able to go from NZ so easy baybay
I deducted stars from the Riddle vs. GUNTHER match for Riddle's ridiculous Pipi Longstocking hairdo.
Men’s MitB: 3.75
Woman’s tag: 2.75
Gunther/Riddle: 3
Cody/Dom: 3
Cena/Waller promo: 5 (Cena is one of the UK’s own now, like Bayley)
Women’s MitB: 4.25
Seth/Balor: 3.75
Bloodline Civil War: 4
As a kiwi, WM Aussie would be doooooope. I know a big event will never come to us, just tour events, but we haven't even had one of those since the early black and gold NXT days I think.
I'd go to Melbourne for a WM. Because I bet that's the city they'd choose.
yall had super showdown a few years ago
@@GKAaron11 New Zealand isn't Australia though so "we" didn't get fuck all.
A WrestleMania over there would be a bigger deal completely as well. It still doesn't count us, but it's a much bigger incentive to go to Aussie for the show.
Men's MITB - 3.75 (really good match with a few solid memorable moments. If not LA Knight, I was happy with Priest)
Women's Tag - 2 (nothing memorable except the turn which was kind of puzzling. It will be interesting to see how they explain it)
IC Title - 2.75 (solid match but they didn't get enough time)
Cody vs Dom - 2 (I agree with you thinking it was just a RAW match)
Women's MITB - 3.75 (one of the better Women's MITB matches. Right person won and awesome creative finish)
WH Title Match - 2.75 (underwhelming for the people involved but decent. Ending definitely lackluster)
Civil War - 4.5 (amazing storytelling and agree on the lull part being just a bit too long. Last 10 minutes were incredible)
I personally like this PLE.
The cast thing with Cody made no sense. In the Lesnar match, they sold the idea that him wearing the cast was beneficial becuase it's a weapon. Now they're saying it's better for him to take the cast off because it means he's healed. This was a Raw match and did nothing for either guy.
SABIN star ratings:
Men's MITB: 4 ⭐️
Women's Tag: 1 & a half ⭐️
Gunther/Riddle: 3 ⭐️
Cody/Dom: 3.5 ⭐️ (it was hilarious to me)
Women's MITB: 4 & 3 quarters ⭐️ (easily best women's MITB)
Seth/Finn: 2 & a half ⭐️ (fairly underwhelming)
Civil War: 5 & a quarter ⭐️(Probably my favorite Roman match of his reign. Sami & Roman is arguably the same. Wild action. Ton's of fun. And the most progressive turning point of the whole bloodline imo. 2nd favorite of the year only to Omega/Ospreay)
Crowd: 5/5 (Only PR ranks higher)
Show Flow: 2.75/5
Production: 3.75/5
Camera Work: 4/5
OVERALL MITB RANKING: 4.05/5 ⭐️
Mens MITB: 3.5 stars
Ronda/Shayna vs. Liv/Raquel: 2.5 stars
Gunther vs. Riddle: 3.25 stars
Cody vs. Dom: 3 stars
Womens MITB: 4.25 stars
Seth vs Finn: 2.75 stars
Bloodline Civil War: 4.75 stars
Men's MITB: 3.5
It felt like it didn't come off as memorable considering who was in it.
I forgot most of the spots except the slight botch with the tables but it was still dope.
Riddle vs Gunther: 3
This could have been match of the night imo but it felt cut so short.
Cody vs Dom: 2
It didn't really need to happen and not much did happen.
Women's MITB: 4.5
A lot of fun spots, really creative ending, my favorite won. Can lead to one of my favorite women's feuds of all time (Asuka vs Iyo)
Rollins vs Balor: 3.5
Was a fine match imo but felt like it wasn't a definitive PLE match but more of a go home match especially with the ending.
Women's tag title: 2
I'm so cold on everyone involved except Shayna that i wasn't paying attention to anything other than the Shayna turn which was cool.
Bloodline Civil War: 5
Match itself was typical Roman match but with good uso and solo story telling with a bunch of good moments. Thebway the ref yelled falling out of the ring seemed like he actually got hurt but I'm glad that he wasn't other than maybe the ankle that HHH mentioned. Point is 5 star cause JEY PINNED ROMAN
Did you guys see Chris Van Vliet interviewing Meltzer about his star rankings? What a joke
😅😅 i was gonna say cheap heat, but it would have been funny if Dom had the crew play Brock's music.
Mens MitB: 4/5. Really enjoyable. Nothing over the top great, but nothing bad.
Womens Tag: 2/5. Would've been 2.5, but that turn was dumb.
Womens MitB: 4/5. Really good match elevated by a creative ending.
IC: 3/5. Good, yet unremarkable match.
Cody: 0/5. Pointless. Shouldve been on a random Raw. Had zero business being on a PLE/PPV.
WHC: 2.5/5. Would've been a 3/5 if not for the stupid, stupid ending.
Bloodline: 4.5/5. Really boring start, that the match couldn't overcome to make it a 5/5.
Overall: 4/5. It averaged to a 3.5, but The Bloodline match was very good and almost made me forget that pointless Cody BS and that dumb Cena Waller promo that added nothing and should've been after the show.
Men’s MITB: 4 stars. Would’ve given it higher if LA Knight won and that Ricochet and Logan Paul spot went to plan
Women’s tag titles: 2.5 stars. Didn’t see much of it cuz I had to step away briefly.
IC title: 3.5 stars. I refuse to give a GUNTHER match less than 3 stars.
Cody VS Dom: 3 stars. Not sure what else to say.
Women’s MITB: 4.5 stars. Best women’s MITB match by leaps and bounds. That finish was a 25 star finish
Seth VS Finn: 3.75 stars. Was expecting a bit more but was good for what it was.
Bloodline Civil War: 5 stars. Wrestling cinema. Loved the callback to the first Jey VS Roman match and Roman getting pinned was absolutely shocked me
@@Surv1vor1993 😅
@@PressXToLiam Well excuse me for enjoying things that not everyone else would
you guys are grading based on how you wish (outcomes) were booked as much as the matches. makes no sense until it's history and can be looked at in context
We are with you Larson!
noon shows are great for us old people. we can be in bed by 8
MITB 5* baybay
Steve and Larson always 5*
Too sweet 4LIFE
The women's tag match lost stars for me BECAUSE of the turn. Made no sense to me and came out of nowhere. Felt like a swerve for the sake of a swerve. 2.5☆
I dont think you ever come back from giving Jericho 3 and quarter stars
lol you were REALLY down on this PPV guys xD
4 out of 5 stars ppv
I dock a whole star to 3 for Men's MITB, and it's got nothing to do with the match itself. Knight needed that win. Unlike the guys, I am terrified for LA Knight. WWE has a VERY long track history of punishing people who have the gall to get over when it wasn't planned. Even Knight's own recent past has shown this. He wasn't on Wrestlemania despite starting to get over and Bobby Lashley right there wanting a match himself. They didn't book him for Crown Jewel so he got an audience spot to make the crowd happy. And I'm fairly convinced he only got in MITB because WWE couldn't ignore the crowd reaction. But him not winning signifies perfectly to me that WWE sees him as a mid-carder. I could see him take the US Title off of Theory, but I don't see them pushing him to the top. I hope I'm wrong and desperately want to be wrong. The man's got IT.
Also, at some point, WWE has to stop booking in spite of the crowd and actually just give the crowd that moment. Roman getting pinned was great but LA winning would have blown the roof off. This is the third time this year that the crowd was white hot for a person to win and WWE ripped it away (Sami at EC, Cody at Mania, and Knight at MITB). The crowd hasn't been consistently this hot in WWE since the Attitude Era. But we also just came off 20 years of mediocre booking and ignoring fans. If WWE keeps ignoring what the fans want, the hot crowd will go away again because why invest in someone if WWE doesn't care. All three of those moments I mentioned had the chance to be one of the hottest reactions ever (I'm talking Foley winning the title hot), but WWE keeps letting the crowd down.
Dave’s star ratings are a joke at this point.
this isn’t even daves it’s Steve and Larson own opinions 🤦🏻♂️
Always have been, Kurt Angle doesn't have a 5 star match
@@PressXToLiam I’m aware, i was referencing the beginning when they say that they want to become the new go to for star ratings 🤦♂️
I didn’t enjoy this show as a whole but it had its moments for sure, here’s my star ratings
Men’s MITB- 2/5
Women’s Tag Titles- 2.25/5
IC Title- 2.5/5
Cody vs Dom- 3/5
Women’s MITB- 2.25/5
World Heavyweight Title- 3.25/5
Bloodline Civil War- 3.75/5
The Bloodline civil war was 5 stars. Come on Storyline wise this was better than Ospreay vs Omega and this is Match of the Yeaf
Ospreay vs Omega was 4.5 stars for me tbh idk where Dave pulled out that 6 star rating from
The fact that neither of you gave the last match 5 stars, no one is going to take your ratings for 💩
Hot take: It was crap for the most part
Ups and downs from Simon Miller is actually already the new star system so if you clowns could please come up with your own idea that be great.
Do it yourself if it's that easy
We know Simon. If he knew you were a dick he’d give you a down.
