You can make anyone look bad by bringing out a kid version of them (same goes for skinny/fat/old/midget versions). The prom did turn the corner when he addressed Miz.

I literally LOL's when I saw Michael "Main Event" Cole's Cole Mine. And I actually marked a little for JR. Guess absence does make the heart grow fonder after all. Loving the rub that Swagger is getting from this as he is a personal favourite of mine. Called the Brian Christopher appearance too.

Sheamus v Bryan was solid. I like that Sheamus took the belt, I think it elevated the title more that it devalued his "Main Event Status". Sadly I don't think this bodes well for Daniel Bryan. I'd like to see him on the Mania card. He puts on a good match and I respect the hell out of the him. Not too many guys have taken the old school route of plying their trade across the globe before making it big nowadays.

I didn't mind Snooki on Raw. The Shore is a guilty pleasure of mine and for the sake of 5 minutes of screen time and as one sixth of a match at Mania for some "mainstream" coverage, I don't see the issue. Hell, throw Bieber in there too for all I care.

I was tipped off that Miz did "something awesome" on Raw and when Cole announced that The Rock was there I put 2 and 2 together to call the third "surprise" of the evening. Nice beatdown on Cena I suppose, I won't herald it as great just because it was Cena being owned as I'm sure a few people are. Agree that it sets up a Cena win at Mania which doesn't please me all too much.

Good show.
We get it. You are smarter and more refined than all of us.
