Brock Lesnar vs Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper was up next. I guess they turned this into a handicap match, and I wonder if Wyatt was injured??? Paul Heyman and Brock had really strong reactions from the crowd as expected. Brock took Harper to suplex city and the crowd was loving it. I have to say that I was really close to Brock and he is a scary man up in person.
Sami Zayn came out to a good pop. I was kind of disappointed with my fellow crowd members as I feel like Sami should have gotten a better response even though his hometown is Montreal. Some ‘Ole chants happened which was great to hear. A lot of Cody chants directed at Stardust which was pretty funny to see his reaction to. Decent match with Sami going over!
The main event was incredible. Both Triple H and Dean Ambrose got incredible reactions from the crowd. The match was almost half hour but had the crowd invested the whole time and was fun to watch. They had me going because of my seat location on the Ambrose near fall. When the ref counted to 3 I was absolutely shocked and for a split second thought Dean was walking out with that belt!!! The arena erupted when we thought he won. When Dean finally wins the title, it’s going to be an amazing day.
Overall I thought the fan reactions were a bit tamer than I expected. Like any crowd there were some idiots who tried to get a CM Punk chant going or a Chris Benoit one but were shut down. I don’t know if it translated on TV but a lot of fans were booing the Ambrose – Triple H match for a minute or so, not at the match but at the fans starting these chants.
It was a lot of fun. I expected a swerve to happen but was satisfied by the fantastic wrestling that I saw. Too bad the Toronto Raptors were booked for the ACC because I would have loved if this was in the bigger venue.
Let me know your thoughts on the show!
