[quote][i]Originally posted by Dominator[/i] As Rick so often says, the Main Event is often the ultimate arbiter of how good a pay-per-view is. That said, I'm loving it the "24"-style booking with complete and total chaos and not knowing where things are going or where the next thing is coming. Here's what I think WWE has finally realized. They've acknowledged, at least internally (thanks mostly to CM Punk's recent tirade), that they've lost a lot of fans the last few years and in order to get them back they're trying something completely different. Yes, they're using their Free TV Shows to set up their Pay-Per-Views, but now they're using the PPV's to set up the freebies, too, and it's worked out fantastically. They've hit two straight triples with tonight's chaos and the Nash/Punk/HHH/Ace insanity from Night of Champions. You've left a couple big supercards wondering what the hell is going to happen next. What this does is get those fans who have stuck it out through the miasma of crap the last few years talking about it and maybe discussing it with some of their old buddies who don't watch any more. It's not something they're going to be able to rectify overnight, since they did such a spectacular job burning the house down, but they're slowly building it back up. Alberto winning the title the way he won it was very befitting of his El Patron (The Master) Evil Genius character. The Awesome Truth shenanigans were Truly Awesome and HHH, if you'll pardon the pun, is still having a hard time figuring out when to use a flyswatter and when to use a sledgehammer. It's an interesting parallel how ADR's figuring out how to be a champion faster than HHH is learning to be a COO. But still, the main event and the post-match chaos will be all the talk heading into RAW. Miz & R-Truth have inserted themselves back into the Main Event picture and set themselves up for inclusion (I know it's a ways off still) in the Elimination Chamber. The Divas match was eminently watchable as storytelling helped make up for the occasional technical glitches. Seeing Beth bust out the same Crossbow Natalya did last week was kinda cool, too. Cody Rhodes got a huge pop for busting out the old I-C strap. The tag title retention and Sheamus victories were well-received. Henry/Orton wasn't a classic, but the right man won (read as, NOT ORTON) and a reasonable story was told. Cara/Cara could've been better, but that was more booking's fault than wrestler's fault... just not enough buildup to care. But you figure a few singles, one or two flyouts, and a triple to close the night... that's a solid PPV. Now, if by next Wrestlemania they can get the rest of the card as hot as the main event picture is, then this is going to be seriously awesome. It wasn't 5-star-worthy, but definitely thumbs-up-able. And I can't wait to watch RAW. Isn't that how it's supposed to be? P.S. Oh, 100 posts... and I am awesome. Cool. [Edited on 10-4-2011 by Dominator] [/quote]
