I went to the show in London as well with a similar card, I had really good time, it was much better than the London November house show last year which had the card below:
Sin Cara def El Local
The Usos def Prime Time Players
Kaitlyn def Natalya
Randy Orton def Alberto Del Rio
Wade Barrett and William Regal def Ted DiBiase and Johnny Curtis (he was transitioning into Fandango)
Kofi Kingston def The Miz
Sheamus Def Big Show by DQ
The Raw tours had poached the likes of Daniel Bryan, Ryback (who was was at his hottest, Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes.

I left before Cena v Del Rio at the London show to beat the rush. Seeing what happened to AJ took the wind out of everybody's sails and Jinder v Khali didn't do anything to bring it back up. They peaked early by having the Punk/Heyman segment and Punk/Bryan v Wyatts as the match before intermission. So not surprising that its been moved to the main event

So not surprising that its been moved to the main event I agree completely, I was out of energy after the Punk/Bryan v Wyatt's match and seeing the likes of R Truth, Curtis Axel and Alberto Del Rio did nothing to get me pumped. |

The types of posts I am reading in this thread bother me a little because people are making the assumption that a show is not worthy unless you have more "star power."
To me, let the management worry about who they think is drawing people to the show because thats their job. I just want to see an entertaining show.
While I agree that this card is weak, I disagree with it being weak because of who is there. This card is basically what is seen week in and out on RAW with the exception of a overdrawn promo from the "star power guyz."
Basically, Im making the argument that despite the WWE having an abundance of talented sports entertainers, their detriment is only caring about a handful of them. This mentality results in predictable matches and the over reliance of those people.

do you REALLY think that 90% of the ppl attending this show (casual viewers, marks, non-smarks  ) would want to see this parade of mid- and undercarders? only 2 real stars for pete's sake. I understand your (and my) smark-standpoint, hell I'd probably enjoy this show, but most people are there to see Cena, Orton, Punk, Bryan, Show, Shield, maybe even the Rhodes Brothers and parttimers/living legends like Mysterio, Kane, Jericho...not Primetime Players, Justin Gabriel & 3MB |

Imagine if you went to this card:
WWF @ Stoughton, MA - May 5, 1985
Ricky Sexton fought Doc Butler to a draw
Rick McGraw defeated Mr. X
Mario Mancini fought Prince of Fame to a draw
Paul Roma defaeted Pete Doherty
SD Jones fought Moondog Spot to a draw
George Wells defeated Mr. Fuji
Imagine the poor kid, when Hulkamania was really taking off, who went to this show,
