It was actually pretty good. There was a MASSIVE lull between the two main events featuring one of the worst 'comedy' skits I have ever seen. But other than that it was a solid and entertaining show.
Ziggler/Kingston was decent, Punk/Mysterio was excellent as usual, Orton/Christian was excellent again, Mark Henry putting Show through a table was quite impressive.
Not one of the matches was bad to be fair. But by the same token nothing mind blowing happened. But it was far from the awful show I have seen some say it was.

That was one of the most boring ppv's I have ever seen.

It seemed like almost every match was in slow motion. This is what I was thinking when watching it. Ziggler/Kofi, Punk/Mysterio, Orton/Christian were all alright (except I hated Ziggler/Kofi, but it wasn't the worst thing in the world), but they all had better matches, many times on free TV. I think someone needs to tell the roster that you need to step it up on ppv. The matches were boring to okay, absolutely nothing stood out. The Obama stuff was horrendous. The crowd was understandably quiet during the whole thing, since what they were presented was nothing worth reacting to. Aside from a cool set, this ppv was just plain bad.

I think the "meh's" outweighted the positives and negatives. Nothing special, but not too bad; if it was a supershow, it would have been an awesome one. But for a PPV, underwhelming.

Started out fine and had great matches but went to the pits faster than the Flash on a coke binge.
Bad.

Did anyone else think that Orton was still concussed? Dude, was wobbling around for a good bit of his match.

I absolutely hated this show. I'm usually pretty optimistic but this show just rubbed me the wrong way. Were they dropping zannies into the concession stands? I haven't heard a crowd that dead in a while. The whole Obama shit was a f***ing nightmare. Somehow the WWE doesn't expect the "fans" of the universe to believe in guys like Austin Aries due to their size. But yet we are supposed to believe any black guy in a suit with a half ass impersonation of the president is actually the real president. I'm willing to suspend my disbelief but having my intelligence insulted is another thing.

I watched it at Buffalo Wild Wings, and it was so bad that I left after the CM Punk/Mysterio match.

I actually liked most of the matches. Punk/Mysterio was good as is the norm for these two, Christian/Orton was very enjoyable again, but the main event killed this PPV dead. I haven't seen a boring match involving John Cena in years, but this one was horrible.

I enjoyed it. Rio- Show, Christian - Orton and Punk - Mysterio were all pretty good matches.

Fauxbama aside I thought it was a pretty good PPV

It was okay. The Obama skits were brutal though. This. The PPV was not too bad up until the Obama sketch, probably the most painful sketch I've watched since Rosie vs. Trump. Made worse by the fact that it was on PPV, people paid good money and got that in return. With Trump and Rosie you at least could've changed the channel.

I thought it was pretty lame, but I wasn't expecting much going in. "Obama" looked more like Tiger Woods.

Two pretty damn great matches and at least one other very good match makes a good PPV for me.

It was OK. Better than Over The Limit I thought. The main event was just as bad as Miz v Cena at WMania though I thought.

Somewhere between "Meh" and "Complete ass."

Like I said before, it would've been a fairly average PPV with one or two standout matches, but the those lame-ass 'Obama' skits dragged everything into the shitter.

It was alright. The main event was it's biggest shortcoming because of the poorly thought out planning involved. R-Truth is not a monster and shouldn't be beating down Cena so much. Cena is not Bret Hart and can't make it look all good. It's now just the stereotypical Cena match and it doesn't matter who it is. Heel looks good and dominates. Cena rallys and wins. It's vintage Hogan and doesn't translate any more in the modern era.
I liked the rest of the show tho! Would have preferred Christian winning. But glad the rivalry will continue.
