Say what you want about Vince, but he doesn't hold a grudge.

6. Rusev over Cena

8. Orton over Rollins..

I didn't officially put my picks here but so far I'm 2 for 2.

Bryan wins IC title.

Orton beats Rollins.

Now, it's Hemsley and Sting. I just learned it's no DQ. So, I'm going with HHH.

Hemsley's Terminator entrance was sick.

Rest of picks:

Reigns over Lesnar.... Upset special: Rollins cashes MITB and wins world title.

Cesaro and Kidd retain tag titles.

Cena hands Alexander Rusev his first pin fall/submission loss.

Taker and Wyatt.....for the first time in 20 years, I don't really care. Same for the Divas match.

ATG Battle Royal: I think a new jack is going over this time. But as an upset special, I'll go with the Big Show.

I'm watching on the Network for the first time, and I have to say I'm unimpressed so far with the streaming.  It was buffering constantly while I was watching live, so I paused it for 10 seconds to let it cache up a bit, but now it keeps skipping, pausing, switching picture quality, all sorts.  I've not got fibre optic bb, but it's still 25Mbps, which is more than enough for the stream.  I've even turned off every wireless device in the house to make sure nothing else is draining the bandwidth.  All the neighbours are asleep as well, so it's not them!

Hemsley's Terminator entrance was sick.

I thought he looked ridiculous, it's a 40+ year old man dressed up in a cheap plastic Terminator outfit.  It wasn't so bad years ago when he was in the Conan throne, but I just don't get it anymore.  The match was great though, seeing the nWo and DX guys was a proper 'WM Moment'.  I was surprised HHH took the win, I had Sting for that one all day long.

On the others:

- Diva's, meh, don't care.

- Rusev to beat Cena, I think they'll keep this one going and build Rusev upto SummerSlam.

- Undertaker to beat Wyatt, although it'll be a shame as Wyatt has had to build this match entirely on his own and his done a great job of it.  Hopefully the loss won't do him any harm, as he's one of the highlights of the past 12 months.

- Lesnar vs Reigns?  I have no idea on this one.  Reigns could win, but the crowd will boo him for it, ending the show on a downer.  If Rollins cashes in and takes the title straight off him, suddenly you've got a face Rollins.  The crowd are going to be pre-Lesnar, so if he wins we get a happy end to the show, but then what was the point of the past 9 months of Reigns build only for him to lose on the grandest stage?

If it was me, I'd have Rock come down to the ring to help/support Reigns towards the end of the match, but Reigns gets pissed and tells him he doesn't need the help.  He spears Rock, turning heel.  Brock takes advantage for the win, then Rollins cashes in the MitB to take the title.  Then tomorrow night Reigns can come on and say 'I tried, I gave everything, and you still boo me, so screw all of you.' or words to that effect.

Haha, as if they've driven him in on a tank!  And Cena's video package...  :-\ :-X

This whole stereotypical US v Russia stuff is 1980's booking at best, can't they think of anything else for someone from Eastern Europe?  Nope, let's just call him a dirty Russian and we can drag out all of our best pro-US propaganda to get the patriots bouncing.  Best not tell anyone he's not even Russian...

No...

I think he got inducted because he is from the bay area...

It worked and, as predicted, Cena handed Rusev the big L.

Haven't had many issues with lag / buffering..
Watching on  Xbox..
Working pretty good..
I've had maybe 3 buffering lasting 3 /4 seconds..
All have happened before the match..

I'm on Xbox as well.  The picture quality has sorted itself out, but the stream is still skipping, so I lose a few seconds quite often.  Equally annoying is if I rewind the stream and try to replay the bit I missed, it skips the exact same section.  It's pissing me off to be honest, I chose this over paying my usual £20 for the PPV through Sky, but I wish I'd just done that now.  At least that way I can watch it without problems, and can pause and rewind without any concerns.  The skipping/buffering is really taking away from the matches, as you never know when it's going to jump again and you miss a big spot.

You can change the settings so it doesn't buffer as much..
I'm running broadband / T1..
In the past I had buffering but changed the settings..
Test your connection on auto so it can pick the right speed.

Is that in the Xbox settings, or the Network dashboard itself?  I never bother with streaming usually, it's the wife who uses Netflix and various other apps on the TV upstairs.

Wonder what shape taker is currently at..
I think Wyatt will carry the taker thru the match..
I think he is going to be protected from major bumps..
He will retire next year / HOF in Dallas..
One last match...
Would be cool if it's against sting...

Not really! There's no streak and since Sting just suffered an L, there's not much left to hype.

At least, he's not as tubby as last year. But, it's the incredible shrinking Deadman.

Just done that and everything's fine.  I've got an 802.11n wireless signal as well, which is supposed to be the best one available currently.  I'll pick up a cable to make it a wired connection for the future, just in case.

It's still doing it, it just skipped the end of the Taker match, so one minute Bray was about to finish him, then suddenly it jumps and Taker's performing the Tombstone.  It did the same during the Rock/Rousey section, it kept jumping bits of dialogue so you couldn't follow what was going on properly.

Now it's just frozen completely.

That was a brutal match, those two were knocking hell out of each other. 

You can exit..
Then play it as a replay..

I went out and came back in, it asked me if I wanted to view from 'Now' or from 'Beginning', so I went for beginning.  It started halfway through the HHH match for some reason, so I fast forwarded to Brock/Reigns to start viewing again but it's still jumping.  Maybe it's because the network is overloaded tonight or something, so I'll give it a go for Monday Raw as well.  Not impressed though so far.

Best match of the night was put on by a 50 & 56 year old respectively. Props to HHH who can make a jobber look like gold and to Sting who still has it. They wrestled for 25 minutes and HHH's entrance was SICK. Great stuff.

Bray Wyatt suffered an ankle injury earlier in the day while practicing in the ring and had to get carted to the back. Props to Wyatt for wrestling with a badly sprained ankle.

Orton's RKO was SICK and unbelievably well timed.

Seth is the man.

Triple h is only 45 but l agree with most of what you said.  The game looks damn good for 45.

I'm actually glad Seth won and they finally got smart and got Cena out of the world title picture. I don't believe for a minute HHH is 45. He was 39 in 2005 when Batista got kicked out of evolution. Something doesn't add up there.
