Just read UKFF and many slating the PPV. Was good I thought.
Uso's v the Shield the best tag match in recent memory. SD! ladder match fantastic Del Rio v Ziggler the same Axel v Miz bearable Y2J v Ryback ok to decent. Cena v Henry quite exciting towards the end Raw MITB let the show down slightly though

Agree totally.
His abilities in the ring are pretty awesome. Now he has some direction, I think both of them will be better for it rather than the Rhodes Scholars gimmick (which has been fairly entertaining). Both of them were too good to be stuck in that though IMHO.
The WHC MITB was by far the best match of the night though and probably the best match I have seen this year.
Whats everyones thoughts on Wyatt's 1st in ring promo too! I thought it was pretty good. You can tell this guy's for real though when Truth gets back up on the apron and Wyatt stands there with that crazed smile asking him if this is what he deserved. I loved it.

Watched MITB on Monday night, very enjoyable PPV. Some matches I couldn't get into (e.g. Ryback v Jericho and Cena v Henry, who I still wish they'd stop trying to get over after 17 years of failure!). However, the good far, far outweighed the bad. Both MITB matches were excellent IMO, highlights inc the pops for RVD, and Cody Rhodes, who is starting to perhaps show star potential.
However, I wouldn't be a wrestling fan if I didn't end on a moan. So, am I the only one who thinks it's totally OTT for WWE to clear blood from wrestlers either during or straight after matches? Okay, they're a PG company now, but FFS PPV's are probably mostly ordered by adults (and shown in the early hours over here obviously) so I really don't see what harm a little juice does, and actually in some cases I think it can increase the drama of a match, and / or add sympathy for a guy.
That aside though, I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and feel the company is taking some small positive steps forward after a lot of frustrating stop-start pushes for people.
"The Mail understands..." NOTHING!
