Saturday Morning Slam

I've just watched it and it did seem a bit weird.

The beginning with Brodus Clay felt like I was watching something that my five year old nephew would watch. It was just the way Brodus was talking to the camera and assuming that the audience at home were telling Brodus that The Funkadactyls weren't around.

The match was also pretty weird. I don't think I've ever seen a match with so many arm drags before. Though I did see that they've found a way to avoid "violent" moves. They just cut to the commentators.

Speaking of which, I was bit surprised that Santino was introduced as the US Champion. I know it was recorded before he lost the title, but I was thinking that it could possibly confuse the kids watching, if they watched the SumerSlam pre-show and saw Santino lose, but then come out a week later with the title again.

Also, the blurring was pretty mad. I also noticed that they re-used footage for when Santino was making his way to the ring. They showed a kid doing the whole Cobra routine, even though I saw that kid doing the same thing at No Way Out.

This kid.

Anyway, it was something new and different and I think the WWE have done a good job at aiming it towards kids. I get the feeling kids will like the show. The only downside to the show is the lack of wrestling that the guys are allowed to do.
