I had an incredible experience but also have nothing to compare it to. Every Australian male wrestler was over with the crowd (Buddy Murphy surprisingly so), as well as was Joe, Nakamura, Roode, Tye Dillinger (10 gimmick very over), DIY, and Asuka. Ember Moon was the only wrestler who surprised me as being less over than I expected.<\/p>\n<p>As is probably evident from the long list of who was over, the crowd was really into the show. It seemed like most people were having a really good time and the crowd was vocal.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion the best performers on the night were Joe, Nakamura, Roode, and Asuka. Roode particularly stood out as talented. Perhaps also worth noting it looked like he lost a couple teeth and seemed concerned with his mouth while walking up the ramp. The Revival were also good at working the crowd and responding to\/feeding off them. Wesley Blake was surprisingly effective as a heel and was very true to his heel character, getting plenty of boos. I heard it already mentioned on livecast Drifter got a ton of heat, which is true. Kay and Royce were also good at projecting their heel characters in the ring during their respective matches, although the crowd popped less for them other than chants of &#8216;Sydney sucks!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THE PREVIOUS LIVE EVENT REPORT:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2016\/12\/06\/125-wwe-smackdown-live-event-report-major-changes-due-styles-ankle-injury-ic-title-match-headlines-tlc-fallout\/\">12\/5 WWE Smackdown Live Event Report: Major changes due to Styles ankle injury, IC Title match headlines, more TLC fallout<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<article id=\"post-35798\" class=\"post-35798 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-results_indyliveevents category-results\">\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<article id=\"post-34819\" class=\"post-34819 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-results category-results_houseshows\">\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<p><em>Please send any news tips and results to:\u00a0<strong>pwtorch@gmail.com.<\/strong>\u00a0For instance, let us know if you hear a pro wrestling reference on a popular talk show, see a pro wrestling related Tweet or Instagram from celebrity, hear an ad for matches advertised for an upcoming WWE event, or anything else pro wrestling related that\u2019d be of interest to our readers.
