Yes, I'll give my full review a little later but I will say the funniest part was when the fan jumped in the ring with Reigns and Ambrose and security removed him, I heard Bray say something like "was that your partner?"   ;D

My review:

Kickoff show:  Lucha Dragons and Neville vs Cosmic wasteland-  good solid match, a lot of high flying. I think I may have seen a couple small botches but overall an ok match.

Rusev vs Ziggler- I'm impressed by Rusev and Ziggler can work. Like most matches this night it was great but could have been better. I felt it was a little lame that Ziggler got the win by summer accidentally hitting Rusev with a shoe which lead to the distraction and the zig zag.

Ryback vs Owens- seemed kinda short. Also didn't see a lot of high impact moves by Owens. Wasn't great but was ok. Owens won the title cleanly except for the rake to the eyes. Clearly Owens is a way better wrestler than Ryback.

Nikki Bella vs Charolette-  Was not bad for a Divas match but not great either. Nikki worked Charlottes knee the whole match till the end when Chaolette did 2 moves and won the strap.

Ambrose, Reigns and Jericho vs Wyatt family-  solid match with a lot of talent. Would have liked to see it go a little longer. Nothing too over the top, could have been better. Hopefully this feud isnt over.

New day vs dudleys- about what I expected. Solid match new day retains and dudleys put woods through a table. New day is growing on me. Xavier woods is a good talker and entertaining.

Seth Rollins vs Cena- best match of the night IMO. Was very impressed with Rollins and now convinced more than ever he needs to turn face. Kinda knew he would drop the U.S. title so no shock there. Would have liked to see a longer match but since he had 2 matches it just wasn't possible.

Sting vs Rollins- good match with sting taking a hard bump through the Spanish announce table. Interesting ending having the doc check on sting mid match. Added some realism even though pretty sure it was a work. Rollins won with a small package when countering the death lock. A little disappointed to see 2 matches end with a simple roll up. Would have preferred a pedigree finish.

After the match obviously shamus showed up which Kane prevented him from cashing in mib. Not the most exciting finish. I like Kane but was anybody that excited to see that run in?  

  All in all it was entertaining but far from great. Highlight of the night was Seth Rollins. He's great in the ring, too bad he sucks on the mic.  One criticism is that it didn't have that pay per view feel to it. Felt like I was watching a good episode of raw with fewer dqs and run ins.

You're not the only one.

I caught a podcast in which a caller who was at the show said there lots of empty seats. Seems to be a theme.

The product is stale..
The old man needs to 're evaluate the direction of the company...
The only reason I haven't cancelled the network is because it's cheap
And they have the wcw and attitude era...

I lived for Raw between 1998-2000. You always looked forward to the unpredictablilty of what was to come.

I found stuff dating back to the 60's...
There wcw library is very extensive.
Wwf stuff is very good.. but there is a lot they haven't put out yet.
But they continue to release stuff..
Original programming has gotten better..
The new JBL show was very good.. he had Eric Bishoff as his first guest..
They have a good library..
There's probably more stuff they haven't put out yet.
