2002 matches were damn good. This was garbage. Pissing away my time and their money.

They actually break the streak and do it for a part-timer they've beaten time and time again? I'm lost.

GTFO

Oh shit. What?????

Brock Lesnar will not win. But this is the year they broke the streak.

Is Undertaker simply done or did they put together as a bad a match as possible? This is killing the show.

Cena has been spectacular here. A shame it hasn't translated into a great match, but his character work has been so different and tremendous. This is a match that could benefit from some blood.

Goddamn if this isn't the entrance of the year. Its like true blood meets clockwork orange meets mid south.

I also don't see any complaints about the network feed since the main show started. What a home run night thus far.

CESARO SLAM!

Crowd clearly views this as an intermission.

My wish for this battle royal is a trophy-breaking post-match straight out of Mania 4, but given the trophy involved its not happening.

That was an awfully quick squash for the Shield. No problems with it given the time. Is it just me or do the face pops for them not seem quite as big since they officially turned?

Kudos to Tripe H for working that about as perfectly as he could. The heat was great, the body work was focused, they added in a few highspots that are banned for everyone else and topped it off with a perfectly laid out finish that for whatever reason didn't feel as climactic as it should. But the postmatch sure as hell did and they are clearly all about building to the close of the show as a great moment for this era.

Goddamn this is great. And the feed is perfect too so far. Austin glad to be back at the Silverdome and I am ready to vote him for President.

There's our swing. Good for him.

Hope I'm not jinxing things, but last 5+ minutes have been perfect on video feed & quality and audio. But I'll probably blame the Network if we don't get a Cesaro swing.

Video on PS3 a bit choppy, in addition to the blurry issues. Can deal with the latter, not so much the former.

40 minutes for them to make sure the HDMI is plugged in properly.

Yeah audio is definitely scratchy right now. Another friend having the same issues.

Yeah the VQ seems to flip between HD quality and slightly blurry with no rhyme or reason. At least the feed is holding up.

So with talk of a big show-ending angle, any predictions on that front? Excluding Sting because Taker isn't closing close the show, so I'm curious what we see. Rock? Austin? My gut is it should close with the entire house chanting and pointing in the air, but I'm all for a pleasant shock.

Preshow going fine without any issues thus far. Its early, but I'll take it.

Brock didn't go over Cena and only got over on HHH to set up his eventual vanquishing. Any surprise or twist will be something that doesn't interfere with 22-0 in big lights at the Superdome. But I am fully expecting that and Byran/HHH to vastly exceed expectations. Didn't think there's any way I'd want to sit through this much pre-show, but I am jacked and ready for this to happen. Have zero interest in checking out anything else until it starts.

Just watched the HOF, and for a 3.5 hour show it flew by. DDP, Jake and Hall were the highlights and it was so great to see them turn their lives around. DDP deserves all the success he can find for legit saving those guys. I love this business, this week and am absolutely amped for tonight. For one night they drop the wink/nod antics and while its framed around honoring greats in the business, I think its also a nice, sincere way to reward those fans who are otherwise made to feel like jokes much of the time. Question: Where did Nick Hogan disappear to midway through the show?
