So I've had a night to digest my live experience last night, and I'm just as annoyed about it today as I was last night. Yes, the live show is more fun than watching it on TV, but when nothing happens, it's every bit as frustrating. The Dolph/BNB match was fun, as was the tag title match. Heyman's promo was, expectedly, great. The video packages were well done.
But with five weeks until WrestleMania and the only story development we got was names for the battle royal? Maybe something happened with the IC scene, but nobody in the audience knew why R-Truth was there, and no explanation was given. No Wyatt live in the arena until the dark match, no Lesnar or Taker at all. A Sheamus highlight package during the PTP entrance, followed by the bait-and-switch of the Ascension coming out to lose. And don't get me started on the Orton/Rollins and Cena/Rusev nonsense.
I said going in that it would take a lot to bring me back into the Universe (I've watched one PPV, one Raw and one SD (both the edited Hulu versions) since the '13 Slammies). Those needs were not met last night, and my days of watching WWE are officially done.
Thank god for NXT and my tapes.
