Before the show went live
there was a decent sized Punk chant. His shirts were still all over the
crowd.
I had to have been in a different spot after the show than the
other guy who sent in info was, because outside of the kids loving Cena, there
were plenty of negative vibes outside. Although at one point a middle aged woman
was disgusted by the hate on Cena since it was Boston and said it’d be like
rooting for the Yankees. I guess?
Here’s a brief summary/opinion on what
my section mid arena felt throughout the night
Awesome opener. Wyatt’s
are really popular
Divas title match got a good reaction, people
impressed with what they were doing.
Sandow is being wasted, but Adam
Rose absolutely is getting a crowd response with the music
alone.
Contract match was everything you’d have hoped. It was so well
done it even felt like Kofi had a chance to win. Everybody in that match has
something to offer. People still love to “we the people”, Ziggler is a nice
blend of Bad Ass Billy Gunn and Mr. Perfect. RVD was big time. Ambrose is great,
even if he’s what I imagine the Joker would be like if Corey Feldman played him.
Just good stuff all around.
Stardust is fantastic. Goldust is in better
shape now than he was in ’96 when he was fondling Razor and fighting Piper in
the backlot brawl. Those two are going to be fun to watch. Ryback still has a
chance to be something. Axel is just there
Rusev and Lana (the Russian
Miss Hancock with those skirts), are great. It was obvious Rusev would come out
on top from the get go as the Russian flag holder was above the ring before the
match. If he can get the “iron sheik class” stamp of approval then he’s all set.
Big E could benefit from becoming a Heyman guy, or having someone be a mouth
piece. If they booked him right as a suplex machine ala Taz, he could be
something.
Fandango, poor guy. That’s all.
Main even was pretty
dull live. Bray is huge. Reigns got a ton of love. It was annoying to the live
crowd to see how many times Kane tossed the ladders out of the ring. Their no
blood rule is foolish. These are guys fighting with gigantic “steel” implements
of doom. Isn’t it more believable to the people now that we saw Orton juice a
gusher? Taking him out of the match and working on him was more of a distraction
than anything. Glad to see he came back and actually was a star of the match and
I don’t really care for him much. Cena winning was predictable. For the final 2
minutes or so of the match he was on the floor at ringside essentially watching
the match waiting for his inevitable win. He could’ve at least kept his face to
the floor and the refs could’ve cued him to get up, but that’s just a complaint
in person that on tv may no have been noticeable.
Overall I had a blast,
and regardless of who’s the champ (for now), I’ve seen some of the most exciting
and interesting things going on the last few months than I’d seem in years. I
think once Vince steps away, HHH is going to have a huge impact going forward. I
think he’s more in touch with reality/realism myself. Can’t wait.
