Yet another accolade for Barrett, which if tradition is any indication, will lead to him jobbing harder than ever.
I'll keep hope alive for at least a week. |

I really like these little live specials they do on the Network, this and Rusev/Sheamus from a while ago, and probably a couple others.
It's a nice value add for the Network, and I mean, shit, they're already at the arena for tapings. I hope they keep doing more like this. |

All right, I'm going to go get ready to stand in line to cram onto a (hopefully mostly empty) metal tube shooting through the sky.
If you don't hear from me again, allow me to leave you with this last, parting wisdom: SlickyTrickyDamon is a god damn spider; don't trust him. |

Ended up missing the show. Who faced Barrett in the finals?

Nice. Hopefully the crown actually leads to something meaningful for Barrett.

They should bring back Battle Bowl as a network special though they'd have to make it more than one hour and probably wouldn't be able to just film it before Smackdown. |

I liked the start to the show. It made the King of the Ring seem important. I still find it a bit odd that R-Truth got to advance. I'd probably enjoy things more if they had the KOTR exist within a little bubble. I'd probably have had Cesaro in there instead of Truth or something. New Day could have attacked him in a backstage segment to advance that storyline.
The brawl between Ziggler and Sheamus really advanced things, but the terrible booking on RAW means Dean Ambrose has to get involved or look like a pussy. I guess damage control could have Ziggler and Ambrose fight on television with someone taking issue with Ambrose and setting up a match with him at Payback. Whatever. Now that Barrett is king, I think they need to focus now on giving him some spotlight. Don't just let this fall wayside like Cesaro's Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal win did. Barrett should open up RAW next week and talk about how he is now immortalized and wants to be the first British World Champion in WWE history. Scrapping together a random match for Payback, how about Sheamus vs. Barrett vs. Ziggler vs. Ambrose -- Barrett against the three guys who all have a claim to being screwed in the tournament. |

Just watched this... some good matches... don't agree with Bad News Barrett winning... feel like he is at the point of his career where "nothing can help him anymore" and he should just be written off as a "lost cause", by which I mean continue to just have good mid-card matches that don't mean anything forever....
Neville really could have used the win to give himself some credibility on the main roster. |

I love BNB, so I'm cool with the result, but I think that the real MVP of this tournament was Sheamus.
