It all seemed way too rushed to me.
Part of the problem with the announcement is that as a fan I haven't been told that RAW guys cant fight SD guys. Had they played up the fact that interpromotional matches cannot be booked on a regular basis, then the announcement that at Mania they can be would have been a bigger deal. The way it was, I think most of the crowd expected the matches to be booked. Not that thats a bad thing, but the whole thing came off as being not that big of a deal, of course that could also be a result of the fact that Ive known about these matches since like Spet.
Austin as part of the Lesnar-Goldberg deal is good, although I hope they dont shift the focus away from the actual workers on to Austin. lesnar had to do something to Austin since it look slike Goldberg wont be on TV till Mania. Now Austin has a beef with both guys, and that makes the match more unpredictable.
Long-term planning here, I think it would be sweet if they started a build to Austin vs Lesnar for Wrestlemania XXI. I said this before, but I think Austin should Stun Goldberg after the match at Mania to send him packing. However, it might be cool if Austin went to Stun Lesnar, but Lesnar gets out of the way. Then on the 3 Big PPVs we see confrontations between Austin and Lesnar, finally leading to the match at Mania next year.
Vince vs Eric was a useless waste of time.
