Is this the most one sided voting yet? Yes, especially since I'm not counting the clearly troll voting 1's People needed this show. Agreed, I think the 1's should be disallowed when calculating the percentage of the average vote for this week.

The crowds were some of the best parts of the show every week, so I had no idea how they would make it work. Sure, those debuts would have been heaps better in front of a live crowd, but I do like how they made up for that by having some of the talent in the crowd. I do kinda wish they would have had a bit of bantering between the face and heel sides, but that's just a nitpick. They did a fantastic job adapting to the current situation. No question a 10.

Agreed, I think the 1's should be disallowed when calculating the percentage of the average vote for this week. When it comes to shows that get a high volume of good and bad votes and it's looking apparent that the 1's or 10's are there just to screw with the average, I'm not counting them unless people comment at this point. It's gotten old and they don't deserve attention.

Given the circumstances, I'm giving it a 10. I like to support and reward effort.

Very very good. I'm going with a 9, and the only reason it's not a 10 is because we missed out on the crowd reacting to the appearance of Brodie and Matt. Not something they could help, but it really would have put the show over the top when The Exalted One pulled back the hood and the drone appeared over the ring. I'm with ya on this one. I wish we had a time table on this so they could've saved the debuts. Hearing an entire crowd pop for the drone flying down, and then seeing Matt Hardy and chanting Delete would've been amazing. That being said, it's a 10 from me. I do have some nitpicks, but overall that was a helluva show. I knew they would deliver. But it does leave me with a bit of latent disappointment in the timing of it all.

Come on, as much crap as WWE is getting for not canceling Mania and this is fine? Granted I'm not sure your opinion on that, but that's the overall reaction. The crap WWE is getting for not cancelling Mania isn't so much about a few people being around a ring to enhance the show, it's about the biggest show of the year, what is supposed to be a spectacle, being regulated to the PC instead of being moved to a later date. So I don't know why you're trying to equate the two. As I said in the live thread, I think WWE should borrow from AEW here and have a few wrestlers scattered around the PC "audience." It adds a lot and they can do that with minimal risk of exposure to the virus.

I am absolutely blown away with how well they did under these awful circumstances. That was fantastic stuff!

Straight 10 for me.
They truly deserve full Mark's for what they put together.

10. Major debuts, wrestlers Statler and Waldorfing it up, and making lemonade out of lemons. This is a ten.

I gave this one a 10/10 too 'cause it felt actually really special, like those moments in the RPG when the whole town happens to be burning and every piece of the puzzle comes together!
SmackDown had the specialist Triple H, which also deserved 10/10) ~ GREAT WEEK OF WRESTLING, even if there's not much of it...
+ Opening Speech w/ The Elite, in dark setting... + Wrestlers around the ring. + MJF calling for Butcher's finisher. + Colt Cabana's and Kip Sabian's confrontation. + The Exalted One as Brodie Lee. #1 pick for me, it's only fitting and right he gets to be the BIG EVIL in his own group. + Oddities Dies~! Segment w/ Murder Hawk & Snake + Matt Hardy's melody ending, interested where things will go with him in the future...

I said 20/10 in the show thread last night. But after I was less emotional, thought about what happened objectively & had a solid night of sleep I gotta say in all honestly it was more of a... 20/10.

I've never given a show a 10 before until now, but this show more than deserves it, especially given the circumstances. They could've gone the NXT route and done pre-taped stuff, they could've gone the ROH/NWA route and shuttered completely 'til such and such a date, they could've even phoned it in like Raw obv. did, but they just went all-out and gave us an awesome show.
I can't help but mourn a little for what might've been, though. Between Brodie and Matt, Rochester would've gone into complete blissful meltdown. I would've loved to have seen that.

I'm watching it again. If they sold this on DVD, I would buy it. This is a Baby Doll Perfect 10.

Their weird irrational hatred is making them miss out on the best American wrestling product in 20 years.

10.
That was one of the best episodes of wrestling TV I've seen.
Really wish there was a crowd for Blood & Guts but if this is the quality they can produce without a crowd then I'm excited all the same
