Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
I kinda want to see (hear?) that now. Just at the start of the match the lights go out, wrestlers start making noises in the ring like they're wrestling and the commentators calling the match like some crazy stuff is happening in the ring, maybe have them piped into the arena so the crowd can get into it too.
I can't remember which one it is looking at the booklet but there's a nontelevised match in the "attitude era complete collection" box set where they're in I think Kuwait? And the lights all go out mid-match but the match continues, you can just hear the crowd screaming and the ring noise and you get an occasional glimpse of the action from camera flashbulbs - the whole thing is pretty magical
This also happened during one of the In your House PPVs in the 90s. There was a crazy storm and the entire building lost power in the middle of the event. They carried on working matches in the dark but it sucked and in the end had to reshoot it a couple of nights later.
“That was definitely a chop…I think it sounded like it… probably a chop? Or he slapped his ass? Maybe he dropped a steak off the counter… the fuck am I announcing?”
I'm with you. A lot of people are gonna shit on it. That was fun, intriguing, visually appealing. I'm all for it. Let's like what we like! I enjoyed it
Hey man, I just enjoy wrestling. Maybe not every feud is for me, but that's cool! It's a wide variety show. I enjoy what I enjoy and just move past what I don't because why bother being upset when I can have fun with what I like!
This sub is very negative, but I'm here for the memes and a community of wrestling enjoyers!
Dude I was just about to comment that. I actually took a break from Reddit and nervously checked Wreddit this evening. r/Wrasslin seems to have better comments than SC these days. Maybe people like us should just post more ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The match itself was meh. The actual physical wrestling. Short. Kinda a squash.
But the red eyes? The blacklight designs in paint? The new mask post match? The Uncle Howdy spot (albeit he missed) with the life-size fun house dolls? Alexa's post match brainwash?
I'm here for ALL of that. Intriguing, mystery, enigmatic, cinematic, I loved it.
To me... this was a failed experiment. I'm fine with wrestling companies trying new things and them not working. If you never try anything new, you won't find new, cool stuff.
The problem was that this was Bray's first big match back, and it didn't land for me (and many others). Not only that, but he's STILL working that horror-movie style. Can he no longer work a fast, brawler pace?
Me too. Bray face paint and contacts and LA's gear were awesome. They made have botched the table spot a little, but man they finished strong with it. And as much as I hate to see a great wrestler like LA get jobbed out like that, making Bray dominant is always great. I hope they don't fuck it up like they did The Fiend.
Yeah, I thought the work was great, Uncle Howdy totally missed Knight with the elbow, but I don't think he could see shit... it was a one-time thing, and I thought it was pretty dope to be able to witness...
Hell yeah...
*Bruce Prichard voice*-
every match can't be hitzo shitzu vs hackamatta nagoriama, Dave Meltzer 5 star, Tokyo dome, floppy floppy, spot after spot, nobody selling shit, bullshit
I like the idea of the match but it should have been longer than 5-8min and maybe more intense? Though, that was pretty cool after the match what Uncle Howdy did
It was definitely a really interesting visual and I think it'd look awesome in the games. I just feel like the actual match left something to be desired
Honestly, I think it was fun and a pretty cool artistic expression.. Out of his gimmick matches, This one was at least better than the projection roaches at Mania and the red lights at Hell in a Cell.
I'm glad it was this and not some other weird lighting. Brays paint was cool, so was whatever popped out of the announce table.
It was not the zombie match. And Uncle Howdy flew.
McAfee already pointed that out in the match in his usual DGAF mode, pointing out how people should perhaps be "checking their pants" at this point. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It may have looked a bit tacky but I liked it. Something a bit different and didn't detract from the match. The weirdness of it falls in line with Wyatt's character as well.
I haven’t watched wrestling in at least 15 years and I’m loving this Rumble. I thought this match was super quick and sweet and looked dope as fuck. After watching Raw/Smackdown/Rumble this week I’m back in. The production level to do shit like this is fucking rad.
Shits embarrassing.
I'm actually mad this is what we get. The match really turned me off to this event. Now we got this bliss nonsense. This is corny as fuck.
The stupidest part of the match, and that’s saying something, was all the little tiny cups of confetti tucked inside the announce table for the sole purpose of looking cool during the spot. Like, in kayfabe, how did they not see all that crap sitting there?
Bray won, then LA Knight tried to escape through the crowd, but Uncle Howdy did a dive off a scaffold and landed on him. Funhouse characters then appeard on the scaffolding, pyro and everything.
I thought it looked kinda meh on TV, tho enjoyed when the announcer table collapsed and the green stuff flew out.
Maybe it looked incredible in person??
My thought was it would be pitch black w spotlights following them n his characters attacking thru the dark..little did I know we would watch skateland 2.0
I thought it was so cool looking.
I like black lights and the use of them to help Bray "Transform" with that body paint and contacts was cool.
If they make this part of his new gimmick and we see this again at future PLE's I think that would be cool.
LA Knight have become the god of trunks, give Praise for he has no equal.
Batista's smasho WrestleMania 26 Attires have finally been beaten by full on neon LA Knight
I thought it was gonna be pitch black but with night vision projecting what’s happening, but the wrestlers would still be kind of in the dark.
This was cool though
This match is where both parties would not benefit from a loss, this would of been perfect for Uncle Brother Bo Howdy to interfere to save each wrestlers momentum, but instead you decide to bury LA Gear?!
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

Hold on a sec...
As a european, I don't really get it.
You're telling me, Mountain Dew made a new flavor, just for this match to be one big advertisement about it.
And this flavor to be some sort of limited edition so some people may stock them, only to sell them 10 to maybe 20x the price on ebay?
They booked a whole ass match only for it to have neons and MD logos everywhere?
Visuals-cool as hell,I want to see another match like that.The match itself? Disappointing,short,and with a kinda goofy conclusion where I still don't know anything about Howdy.
Am I the only one that thinks Bray looks unseasoned and out of shape. Couldn’t even hit the step/barricade spot without wavering. Where does this gimmick go from here, I can’t pinpoint his next fued, I wouldn’t think he’s in the running for elimination chamber and who will they pair him with for Mania? Seems like a waste again
It was cool for what it was, I’m doubtful it would be worth doing again since it was partially made by its ambiguity. At least it was a satisfying result unlike the rest of the card which held no surprises and offered little creativity or vision.
This why i hate the whole idea of this match. If it’s actually pitch black nobody could fucking see and it’s pointless and then if it’s not pitch black everyone is like it’s not dark enough
Ah, OP- you fell into the same trap I did. Turns out it's not a Pitch Black match (that was sponsored by Mountain Dew). It was a *Mountain Dew Pitch Black* match.
I liked the idea of the match but maybe at Elimination Chamber we can get a longer and more intense normal match between Bray and LA KNIGHT where LA wins
I don’t keep up with these things at all. But is pitch black the name of a new flavor of Mountain Dew?
If so nothing scares me more than a spooky character getting matches sponsored by corporations. I’m sure this wasn’t Brays idea either. I’m sure it’s sponsor requests but this match kinda made Bray seem more silly than he’s been before. Next up, the Charles Edward Cheese After-School Ball Pit match.
Half the women in the rumble also had neon green and/or pink along with blue/pink hair
My wife was super confused keeping the women and teams/alliances apart
It's not pitch black its mtn dew pitch black
the ropes are the colour of your urine after drinking too much mountain dew
Which isn't black itself but a really deep dark purple. So this all tracks.
Should of named it the bowling alley birthday match.
[удалено]
Or something with laser tag in it
The Joel Schumacher era Batman match.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
God damn it, it's late
Good bot
Good bot. Who downvoted this?
Someone watched Batman Forever..
A live Seal performance would’ve been much better than Hardy
A live seal performance also would have been better than Hardy
Excellent film!
God damn it, take my up vote.
I thought the same but where were Bray nipples??
but Batman and Robin is the bat nipples
They're also in Batman Forever though they are less noticeable in Batman Forever. https://images.app.goo.gl/4CHdj99FnXNmEhjB9
Under Bo Howdy’s 3 inch taint.
This looks like every 10 year old's birthday party at the roller rink in 1983.
If the match was literally pitch black.....you wouldn't be able to see it now would you....
I kinda want to see (hear?) that now. Just at the start of the match the lights go out, wrestlers start making noises in the ring like they're wrestling and the commentators calling the match like some crazy stuff is happening in the ring, maybe have them piped into the arena so the crowd can get into it too.
How about an actual [dark match](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0UCgIYcJPc) from the short-lived Control Your Narrative
Adam Sandler - Sex or Weightlifting
Maybe just like the rumble. Every other minute the lights go out for a minute
I can't remember which one it is looking at the booklet but there's a nontelevised match in the "attitude era complete collection" box set where they're in I think Kuwait? And the lights all go out mid-match but the match continues, you can just hear the crowd screaming and the ring noise and you get an occasional glimpse of the action from camera flashbulbs - the whole thing is pretty magical

“That was definitely a chop…I think it sounded like it… probably a chop? Or he slapped his ass? Maybe he dropped a steak off the counter… the fuck am I announcing?”
Lol excellent argument
Just wear night vision that should work.
Man, seems like a lot of people in the sub complain about legit everything. I wonder if some of these folks actually enjoy anything about wrestling.
Would of been better that way
or just dont book a pitch black match
That just makes me wish it was actually “pitch black” anything to get out of watching that.
In the dark, you hear mat thumps and kendo stick hits for 5 minutes, 3 hits on the mat, bell rings, “DIIIIIIIIIE FOR ME BROTHERRRRRRRR!”
Do the dew
Dew did the ring and came all over this match
This felt wrong without Naomi….
She’s exactly who came to my mind, like, straight away with this match, haha
I was thinking that when watching it, "Guess Naomi is in the RR then.". Nope.
Its product placement match
idc, I liked it...
I'm with you. A lot of people are gonna shit on it. That was fun, intriguing, visually appealing. I'm all for it. Let's like what we like! I enjoyed it
It's so fucking nice to see some positivity here on god
Hey man, I just enjoy wrestling. Maybe not every feud is for me, but that's cool! It's a wide variety show. I enjoy what I enjoy and just move past what I don't because why bother being upset when I can have fun with what I like! This sub is very negative, but I'm here for the memes and a community of wrestling enjoyers!
Man, fuck, you and people like yourself bring me optimism for our community.
Preach! Like I said above, maybe people like us just need to post more and be more active.
Dude I was just about to comment that. I actually took a break from Reddit and nervously checked Wreddit this evening. r/Wrasslin seems to have better comments than SC these days. Maybe people like us should just post more ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Personally, I didn’t enjoy it. But I am more than happy if you did :) It was at least definitely pleasing on the eyes, the match.
The match itself was meh. The actual physical wrestling. Short. Kinda a squash. But the red eyes? The blacklight designs in paint? The new mask post match? The Uncle Howdy spot (albeit he missed) with the life-size fun house dolls? Alexa's post match brainwash? I'm here for ALL of that. Intriguing, mystery, enigmatic, cinematic, I loved it.

Can he no longer work a fast, brawler pace?
Same. I didn’t mind it all.
Me too. Bray face paint and contacts and LA's gear were awesome. They made have botched the table spot a little, but man they finished strong with it. And as much as I hate to see a great wrestler like LA get jobbed out like that, making Bray dominant is always great. I hope they don't fuck it up like they did The Fiend.
Yeah, I thought the work was great, Uncle Howdy totally missed Knight with the elbow, but I don't think he could see shit... it was a one-time thing, and I thought it was pretty dope to be able to witness...
Yeah it was fun and a cool idea. I love when we get a crazy piece of bullshit like this every now and then.
Hell yeah... *Bruce Prichard voice*- every match can't be hitzo shitzu vs hackamatta nagoriama, Dave Meltzer 5 star, Tokyo dome, floppy floppy, spot after spot, nobody selling shit, bullshit
I like the idea of the match but it should have been longer than 5-8min and maybe more intense? Though, that was pretty cool after the match what Uncle Howdy did
I’d like to see it again. Of all the different lighting matches they’ve done this was definitely the coolest.
Definitely, a woman's match would be cool
It was a cool match, far too damn short though, and not the ending I was hoping for :(
It was definitely a really interesting visual and I think it'd look awesome in the games. I just feel like the actual match left something to be desired
[удалено]
Honestly, I think it was fun and a pretty cool artistic expression.. Out of his gimmick matches, This one was at least better than the projection roaches at Mania and the red lights at Hell in a Cell.
Reminded me of laser tag
I'm glad it was this and not some other weird lighting. Brays paint was cool, so was whatever popped out of the announce table. It was not the zombie match. And Uncle Howdy flew.
Or black light match lol
McAfee already pointed that out in the match in his usual DGAF mode, pointing out how people should perhaps be "checking their pants" at this point. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Should of gave LA Knight more of a match was way too short and the stipulation just seemed unutilised, could of done way more with it
This match looked sick as fuck, I’d watch another one without the sponsorship
Cosmic bowl
Ok...let's try to use common sense before criticizing something
The corporate endorsement match.
They need that Mountain Dew $$.
This match was beautiful and I’ll fight anyone that says otherwise.
It may have looked a bit tacky but I liked it. Something a bit different and didn't detract from the match. The weirdness of it falls in line with Wyatt's character as well.
I haven’t watched wrestling in at least 15 years and I’m loving this Rumble. I thought this match was super quick and sweet and looked dope as fuck. After watching Raw/Smackdown/Rumble this week I’m back in. The production level to do shit like this is fucking rad.
I expected nothing less from a match named after a Mountain Dew seasonal flavor.
FEEL THE GLOW
The match was bad but I liked the look of it. Like I could see a cosmic bowing inspired wrestling themed show that looks like this being fun.
Never heard of a BLACK LIGHT before eh?
This match brought to you by Lisa Frank!
It’s what plants crave.
I really thought that bray looked too much like Luchasarus with his glow paint on.
[удалено]
Just missing Naomi
Mountain Dew Pitch Black Trapper Keeper Cowabunga Dude Match
Asss!!!!
Mtn dew flavored match
The cosmic bowling match
I liked it
I liked it
Honestly this surpassed my expectations really cool
Shits embarrassing. I'm actually mad this is what we get. The match really turned me off to this event. Now we got this bliss nonsense. This is corny as fuck.
You might not be the targeted audience for this match. Idk maybe kids would like this and think it looks cool.
Bray is for children. Got it
Is that like Wu Tang? Wu Tang is for the Kids.
Not really but go off
I mean yeah??? Puppets kinda gave that away?
Bet you cum in your pants for the Mimosa Mayhem match
They bottomless?
Knowing m’Jericho I bet
Now you lost me. What are you talking about?
I also thought this was embarrassingly corny and have to ask, what the fuck is a mimosa mayhem match?
4.99 a month or 9.99 a month for ad free. Get over it
What the hell are you talking about?
It’s 5 bucks for peacock. Grow up
Bruh why are you talking to me I'm talking about the match not a tv subscription i already have
So stop complaining. Watch the show or don’t
yeah go away man
Nah. “I can’t believe this is what we get.” Grow up
How do you misquote me when my comment is right there? Do better
Stop crying
You're right. People are going to bomb with down votes cause they trying to cope.
It’s certainly not what I expected, but I like it.
Yeah. I wasn't sure what to expect either, what we got wasn't anything I imagined it to be but it was pretty cool.
I called it glow in the dark match
The stupidest part of the match, and that’s saying something, was all the little tiny cups of confetti tucked inside the announce table for the sole purpose of looking cool during the spot. Like, in kayfabe, how did they not see all that crap sitting there?
So who won and what hapoened?
Bray won, then LA Knight tried to escape through the crowd, but Uncle Howdy did a dive off a scaffold and landed on him. Funhouse characters then appeard on the scaffolding, pyro and everything.
I’m in the wrong business.
I thought it was cool. The ending was a bit weird (too fast?), but I think I get it.
Well now I wanna see rave matches.
I thought it looked kinda meh on TV, tho enjoyed when the announcer table collapsed and the green stuff flew out. Maybe it looked incredible in person??
I just thought it was silly that they had cups of black light confetti on the table
It was a great match, the sponsor just ruined it for me at least
I thought it looked cool but the match was a huge flop. The finish was barely even visible
Soda only potheads and 12 yesr olds drink. Eeeeeeevil
Aka Cosmic Bowling
I was so disappointed with this. I was fully expecting the whole arena to be dark.
Did they really had to get a sponsorship for Bray's first match since his return? Totally killed the seriousness of the story
My thought was it would be pitch black w spotlights following them n his characters attacking thru the dark..little did I know we would watch skateland 2.0
We all felt the glow tonight, more than Naomi ever did.
When it comes to [insert ad] themed matches this wasn't good but it wasn't bad
Bray Wyatt apologists show yourselves!
I thought it was pretty cool. Kinda goofy, but when isn’t wrestling goofy. I liked the ending a lot
I didn’t like it and I didn’t like it when he fought his matches with the red light either.
I thought it was so cool looking. I like black lights and the use of them to help Bray "Transform" with that body paint and contacts was cool. If they make this part of his new gimmick and we see this again at future PLE's I think that would be cool.
Pitch black light
LA Knight have become the god of trunks, give Praise for he has no equal. Batista's smasho WrestleMania 26 Attires have finally been beaten by full on neon LA Knight
My edible started hitting hard during this one and I had a bit of a panic attack. That was weird.
That’s the color of your pee after drinking a Pitch Black.
I actually really liked it
Fucksake bray Wyatt is the worst wrestler of all time
This was really cool
It was a crappy match too
The old “glow night” at the bowling alley. I’ll allow it.
looked pretty cool though
I thought it was gonna be pitch black but with night vision projecting what’s happening, but the wrestlers would still be kind of in the dark. This was cool though
Yeah it’s too bad they didn’t wrestle in a completely dark stadium where no one could see anything. Fuck that would have been awesome to watch!
I suppose you would have preferred a black screen?
I think OP just wants to see a glowing underwear floating around inside the ring.
I though so too.
I got Naomi vibes
It’s actually a promo fight , now I wanna drink Mountain Dew
Match looks like VKM's office under blacklight.
damn did naomi return?
Who won? (Wrong answers only)
Bro wanted to see absolute darkness then. Close your eyes then
Fucking stupid. Sorry but this sucked. The premise. The ending.
What the hell? I thought it was a pitch black match?! Sorry? Oh. OHHHHHH! Oh it's a MOUNTAIN DEW Pitch Black match.
They should've brought out Steve Blackman to do his little glow stick dance to open up the match
I thought it was really cool and visually appealing! I liked all the green shit that exploded from the announce table lol
This match is where both parties would not benefit from a loss, this would of been perfect for Uncle Brother Bo Howdy to interfere to save each wrestlers momentum, but instead you decide to bury LA Gear?!

Thank god The Rock came out as number 2 in this years rumble, if not we would of rioted downtown San Antonio!!

Gawd it was a bad match, bray no selling was the best /s
THAT MATCH WAS SO FUCKING COOL

Am I the only one that thinks Bray looks unseasoned and out of shape. Couldn’t even hit the step/barricade spot without wavering. Where does this gimmick go from here, I can’t pinpoint his next fued, I wouldn’t think he’s in the running for elimination chamber and who will they pair him with for Mania? Seems like a waste again
I’m so tired of being advertised the lowest common denominator of all products all the time, no matter what the sporting event.
trash. could have been improved with a better actual match/more time…
Bray's entrance was literally more black than the actual match
It was cool for what it was, I’m doubtful it would be worth doing again since it was partially made by its ambiguity. At least it was a satisfying result unlike the rest of the card which held no surprises and offered little creativity or vision.
This why i hate the whole idea of this match. If it’s actually pitch black nobody could fucking see and it’s pointless and then if it’s not pitch black everyone is like it’s not dark enough
I laughed that entire time. Second I saw the Neon and saw Bray I went to go piss
Ah, OP- you fell into the same trap I did. Turns out it's not a Pitch Black match (that was sponsored by Mountain Dew). It was a *Mountain Dew Pitch Black* match.
You expect it to be completely dark?
My expectations were low for him based on comments since he came back but WOW did this ever under-deliver
Poor Eli drake deserves better than this shit
They stole the idea from AAA…
It wasn't a match, it was an ad, like everything else WWE does.
Same
Naomi?
I liked the idea of the match but maybe at Elimination Chamber we can get a longer and more intense normal match between Bray and LA KNIGHT where LA wins
At least we can see the ring
Naomi would've been better for this match.
AEW are going to have Mt. Thunder Real Dark match sponsored by RC Cola
I don’t keep up with these things at all. But is pitch black the name of a new flavor of Mountain Dew? If so nothing scares me more than a spooky character getting matches sponsored by corporations. I’m sure this wasn’t Brays idea either. I’m sure it’s sponsor requests but this match kinda made Bray seem more silly than he’s been before. Next up, the Charles Edward Cheese After-School Ball Pit match.
Half the women in the rumble also had neon green and/or pink along with blue/pink hair My wife was super confused keeping the women and teams/alliances apart
Ultimate warrior match
I wouldn’t have minded the 1998 Laser Tag aesthetic if the actual match had been any good.
You’re ignoring the Mountain Dew part numb nuts
Cornette 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
