Not the worst PPV ever, but there was very little worth cawing about.
The WHC MITB was great. Punk/Bryan very good. WWE MITB was good but ruined by Cena winning, which is the most useless win in WWE history IMO.
The rest of the PPV was pretty much crap. The filler matches were terrible and Sheamus/Del Rio have no chemistry.

Cena winning was the right call. We're going to get an actual match when he cashes in. Remember those?
I like Dolph but the concept of him stalking the champion for months on end then winning the belt the same way everyone else has when they won the briefcase bores me.

I thought it was a good PPV. The botches in WHC MITB didn't really bother me, it kind of added to it really, also Ziggler's bump on to the announcers chair was crazy. Punk/Bryan was f***ing awesome and the WWE MITB was much better then I expected and adding Miz was the right call.
My only problem with the PPV was the ending to Del Rio/Sheamus, I mean really good match, then one Brogue Kick ends it? Really? Del Rio not getting to kick out of the Brogue Kick made him look bad in my opinion.

I don't think it was the ending or him not getting to kick out of the Brogue Kick, in fact that SHOULD be the ending, but it felt quick to me because Del Rio never locked on the armbar at all during the match or even seemed to attempt it.

Thus ends the WWE's long good - great PPV run. All ratings below are about the enjoyment I had watching with friends by the way, so don't take them too seriously.
1) Smackdown MITB was a clusterfunk and enjoyable for the wrong reasons, but still alright I suppose, too much triple threat like *lay on the floor whilst other guy does spot* junk though. Ziggler winning was the right thing for sure. 5/10.
2) Sheamus versus Del Rio. Del Rio has a solid record in ring for the WWE to me, he puts on consistently good matches with anyone. He didn't here. Sheamus also struggled last month to have a flowing competent match with DOLPH ZIGGLER of all people. Get that damned title off Sheamus, he's rendered it as irrelevant as the Intercontinental belt. 3/10.
Also, Brogue Kick to Ziggler. Really? REALLY? Sheamus had already crushed Del Rio decisively, he doesn't need to tear away at his next challenger with what is becoming my most hated finishing move in all of wrestling.
3) Tag match was solid but the crowd...man, the crowd sucked all night. 6/10.
4) CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan was good, not as good as any of their previous matches though and frankly the AJ thing needs to end, her involvement in this match seemed to ruin the pace. Summerslam must be the end of this story as you can only stall for so long. The whole sell of this match being on the PPV was "WHO WILL AJ DECIDE TO BECOME WWE CHAMPION?!" and...well, yeah. 6/10.
5) I watched with friends who didn't want to watch the Divas match so can't comment on it. I hope it was decent given all the talent in the ring.
6) Ryback squash. Entertaining but the lack of the two man pick up did genuinely dissapoint me. 5/10.
7) Raw MITB. Miz returned! YES! YES! To be smashed about. What was the point? Cena wins, no one is surprised, and the match felt slow and crap. Worst MITB match to have happened so far in it's existence. 3/10
The highlight of the night was Dolph getting the MITB. After that it was seeing Miz with his awesome hair.
To me being utterly average is worse than being outright bad, as with friends you can find solace in absurd humour due to bad quality programming. Not here though. Avoid it if you haven't seen it.

So you honestly thought that No Way Out was better than this show?

So you honestly thought that No Way Out was better than this show? I got a lot more enjoyment out of watching it with friends, yes. Wrestling is a social thing to me albeit so I know my views probably aren't going to match with the majority.
