Got to the PPV late and came in right as the Bella were intro'd. Heard DB won- yay! I wish I saw that match though

Who would have thought that a PPV with Hornswoggle on the poster could be this good?

I have to say:
This is why I watch pro wrestling (OK, sports entertainment) -- that emotional jolt you get every blue moon on TV and a little more frequently on PPV.
That's how I judge a PPV buy (I usually watch at a friend's and pitch in, and we see maybe 9-10 per year), whether it gives me that moment or those moments: Jericho sneaking back in the ring to win the scramble, DBD showing up in LA last summer, Punk and Bryan winning tonight.
I appreciate and enjoy a good 4-star or the rare 5-star match as much as the next guy, but if it's two characters I don't care about telling a story I don't care about, it's just two technicians working at a high level. When they make me care, when they draw me into a story, that's when I truly get my money's worth (tonight I got 3 hours of entertainment and pizza for 15 bucks, which is a better bargain than I can find elsewhere).
WWE knows what it's doing a lot more than people on this forum seem to want to admit. Tonight was proof.

I loved this ppv. The diva match was as bad as I expected it to be, but everything else was way better. Punk breaking the STF into an anaconda vice made me mark the F out. Daniel Bryan winning MitB was awesome. The only way it could have been better is if DB would have cashed it in on Christian tonight.

I haven't been following wrestling as much as I used to lately, but that was one hell of a PPV! PUNK WINSSSSS YES

This is what I would deem to be an acceptable PPV.

Watching the Raw match now, that spot with Miz and Rey is great for the crowd reaction.
Popping Miz running in, Booing Rey for getting in his way, then they cheer the powerbomb by Rey, then they remember they're supposed to boo Rey since they're a heel crowd. Awesome, and at least they respected the move instead of shitting on it because Rey did it.

Hopefully Cena returns as a heel with the whole Hollywood Rock type of excuse as to why he's turn his back on the fans.

Dark match is Santino and Koz vs Otuga & Gillicutty I can already hear the deflated audience when Punk's music hit and McGillitunga came out. They actually came out to 'We Are One' which was probably done on purpose.

Be careful when you say that, lest we start yet ANOTHER F.A.N. Bohemian Rhapsody sing-along.

One understated awesome moment (And I'm not sure if it was supposed to happen or not) was Del Rio ripping Rey's mask clean off. I marked huge for that.

It was pretty clear they screwed up by losing balance after Rey landed on the second ladder and Del Rio was supposed to grab the case then and there.

@wwemagazine Vince just walked back to the arena and punched John Laurinaitis in the face. Heads are gonna roll. #MITB Ace just cannot get punched enough for my tastes. And I think this may give the magic that was WMXX and ECW One Night Stand a run for favorite PPV ever. It wasn't just Punk winning. It wasn't just Danielson winning MITB. It was everything. The crowd. The vibe. And especially, the fact that they pulled the trigger. They didn't get cold feet, and actually did something that will get not just wrestling fans talking, but people talking in general. This could really take the WWE into the next generation, especially if HHH takes over the main stuff from Vince and mixes things up. And all credit to Cena, too, this may have been his best match in a long time, he stepped up his game, and a rogue, fired Cena might be the worse mistake Vince has ever made. WWE...it's time for the rubber to meet the road. Let's do something amazing.
