[quote][i]Originally posted by Devineman[/i] You know, after watching opening promo (I record it on Tivo to FF the ads/suck), there is no possible way that anybody in the whole wide world could fuck up the Bret/Vince angle. Seriously, my 8 year old could write this and it would be good. All the writers have to do, is get out of the way, the fans and Vince/Hart can do this one their own. It's the ultimate of all grudge matches, and they could go anywhere with it. Not just the 'you screwed me.you screwed you' type stuff, but even the 'you destroyed my family' stuff or as Cena mentioned 'you are a bad man' stuff. There's so many facets to this, that as soon as they overthink it, they'll blow it. I understand the need to heavily script the performers on WWE, but sometimes when you have promo guys like Bret and Vince in there, you really do just need to let them get on with it and give, at the most, bulletpoints. Still, the opening promo sucked me in and I actually want to watch the show for the first time in a couple of years. Shame they brought on DX Hornswoggle next. EDIT : Nobody bother with the Live Chat thing any more? DOUBLE EDIT : Guess not, I may as well carry on in this post then. The Shaemus/Christian match was a little squashy at the end. Nothing says �legitimate Champion" like getting your ass handed to you by someone who has being around for 10 years less than you. It seems that they['ve just given up on an angle for the ECW exit. Hunter has aged terribly, Orton has doubled his body mass since last viewing. Still, Hunter can still actually wrestle though which is nice to see. DX hasn't evolved in any way, shape or form, but when you sell as much merchandise and tickets as they do, do you really have to evolve? I don't know. Punk's new angle is awesome, and he's even going with the tried and true "crazy cult guy" beard. Someone on here posted about Mercury coming in anddoing a "We're killing you because we love you" kind of like old Raven, and it fits really well. I don't understand why Big Show is still employed. Apart from being a really big guy, I'm having trouble caring about him. HBK just fell of the top rope, and Punk sold the elbow like he'd killed him, good job. Maybe a little controversial, but I just hate the 'face in peril' tag team psychology now. The whole idea is surely to beat the face that badly that the crowd don't expect to see the hot tag, which gives heat to the new guy coming in. Unfortunately, if 100% of the crowd know the guys coming in eventually, all you are doing is slowing down the match and making it boring, there isn't any build up. Money Inc used to do it well with the whole "cut off the corner" that Monsoon used to talk about and that made sense, but the commentators barely acknowledge it now. I don't really know what I expected, but some freshness would have being nice. Have the Big Show and Miz got any prior history as a team? They look a bit.....unsuited. That felt more like they were the least important people, hence won the belts because everybody else was busy. Wow, Ted Dibiase must have a shit hot plastic surgeon, he looks 40 years younger. HoF inductee is...Ted Dibiase. Well, that's just killed my joke. On the plus side, it gives them an excuse to show his skits, which were brilliant. Who is Jared and why is he pimping Subway? Is he some sort of celebrity or something? Jerry Springer and RAW, a match made in trash TV heaven. Somebody should have thought of this sooner, as WWE is now just basically a Springer show with more athleticism. A heel vs heel match is tough, and Orton/Runnells did pretty well considering the run in was a heel aswell. Not particularly sure who is meant to be getting cheered in a Sheamus/Orton fight, but whatever, it went on for the right amount of time. Vince is still awesomely douchy, put a bit of weight on though. Cena's tank comment was fun, though he does this stupid screwed up face. Angry Cena is pathetic, fake and annoying. I don't really understand why Cena is the Bret stand in. If he was there anyway, couldn't we have heard Bret talk instead of him? Anyway, based on the rating guidelines given, it was a decent show. I'll be watching again next week. The DX angle is semi-entertaining (because I'm a huge HBK fan, and I'm hoping they can play a midlife crisis angle), the Bret stuff is great TV and Punk could go in fun directions. I don't know who Sheamus is, and I don't particularly care, is he a transitional champ? A solid show for me, and more than enough to keep me tuned in. A quite high 3.5 from me. Would have being a 4 if I cared about Orton/Sheamus but I wasn't exactly sure what was happening there, and who was supposed to be angry at who for what. [Edited on 9-2-10 by Devineman] [/quote]
