Referring to Brock being sloppy, do you folks not think that it is possible these hardway shots were not planned before? Brock and Taker have
advocated for more blood and realism. The PG era is definitely allowing a little more leeway these days, finally! But I think outright blading would
still be frowned upon.
Brock, Taker, Vader, Harley Race, etc know how to bust people open the hardway with punches and elbows. It is an old time tradition. I recall Terry
Gordy, The Funker, and Vader busting up Cactus the hardway. Sure it is a little stiff but it is not like Brock's opponents are getting potatoed
for the entire match. It is one or two shots. Hell, Brock has done it to himself ramming his head into the steel post to get some color against Rome.
It is obvious as can be this was the planned finish between Orton and Brock. Give me a stiff shot or two and bust me open the hardway. Once all was
said and done Brock was just punching Orton's shoulder. This was not a case of Brock going into business for himself.
As much as I hate Orton, I have to applaud him for putting some effort into going that extra mile. The last time I felt he did that was against Foley
back in 04. While Orton wimped out on the barbed wire spots, at least he took a thumbtack bump.

Surprised not to see any mention here of the ending to the opener. It looked like Enzo got his bell rung again. He was a little short for the
codebreaker and Jericho just looked off before he pinned him, then the cameras stayed completely off the ring until Enzo was moving again.
Obviously he's ok, but it was the start of an odd night.
As for the ordering, yeah it was weird, but a sign of how inter-brand PPV's may be from now on. Not all bad, as it allows for brand specific
title matches and the "special attraction" matches to go on last. Just a shame this one ended so shittily.
Also to the the thing about Lesnar being "believable" - ok yes to a point, but he's losing "Kayfabe believability", and thats what matters
in the pro wrestling world.

Hope Solo agrees. 
You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know,
that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but
I'm not high. You know what I mean?

Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.
