Just two weeks! I feel like they haven't been giving as much publicity for this as they did BITW or even WOTW. Not even TV commercials yet.

I gotta admit that the card, as reported thus far, looks incredible, even without Styles.
Very much looking forward to this, even though I'm tremendously disappointed that there will be no live option for the European fans.

Assuming there's a free replay right afterwards I'll order the show on the 7th. If not I'll get the next replay due to me not getting home that day till around 10.

It's an interesting situation for me because while I have DirecTV at my home, the place I'm living at Penn State has Windstream, which I don't think is carrying the PPV. I think I'll still order it on DirecTV anyway and have it recorded, so I can watch it when I finish up with Finals less than two weeks later.

This card on paper is a lot better than BITW in my opinion. Really looking forward to it. The promotion has actually been better for this I think. The talent has been all over podcasts and Busted Open Radio on SiriusXM has had guys on and is doing a live pregame show from 5-7pm the day of the show (which I think is really cool). Promotion was really nonexistent until 1 week before for BITW, which they were criticized for but was understandable given how late everything came together.

Obviously the TV has been building for it better as well.

That said, it may be fair to say there isn't as much buzz around this one because they don't have the novelty of 1st ever live PPV.

I'm guessing we're getting a 3-Way Tag with The Young Bucks, Addiction, & Decade. Which I'm a little bummed about. I'd rather just see Young Bucks and Addiction. Really hope the Decade doesn't bring the match down. And I'm guessing a 4-corner survival with ACH, Cedric, Hanson, & Mark Briscoe. Which bums me out a little as well considering I would love to see 3 out of 4 of those guys in singles action getting showcased. But on the other hand they probably don't have time for ACH vs. Cedric or Hanson with all the other great matches on the card, and for 4-corner survivals that one looks fantastic.

I'm guessing that following the BITW PPV trend, there will be another 'Gimmick' match on the card that will appeal to the casual fans. Personally I'd like to see Bucks/Addiction/Decade in a tag-team table elimination match with the winners receiving a future shot at the belts, but the direction that Michael Elgin has been going in recently makes me thing that we'll be seeing Elgin Vs Ciampa in some kind of gimmick match.

Excited to see Strong/Page although I have no idea what they have planned for ACH, Mark Briscoe and Hanson. That's anybodies guess!

one gimmick match is more than enough

My thoughts exactly. I would be ok with Page vs Strong being no DQ because that's been building for half a year and there's a lot of animosity between those two. But I don't get why everyone wants to see some sort of gimmick added to a Young Bucks/Addiction match. It's completely unnecessary, and given the talent of those teams it's sure to be great no matter what. It's not like it needs anything else. Adding another big stipulation match will do nothing but take away from the main event or overshadow the other title matches.

This weeks TV was the first to contain a Final Battle advertisement. I got to say, graphics look slick as fuck. Much improved since BITW.

I hope they give RD a chance in the match and it isn't a glorified squash.

I hope it's got a good bit of comedy, instead of a straight match like they did with RD and Nana in 2012.
