I'll do a review of the second half tomorrow.


But a few things;


a near 5 hour card is way to much, I'm not young anymore and I was drifting.


I think the woman carried the night. The smackdown woman's match and Raw woman's matches were both very good, the woman's rumble and the booked ending were better then the men.


The Bryan vs AJ match was technically very good, but it was almost the wrong match to have after the hot woman's rumble. Also the ending was really stupid with Rowan getting involved. I just didn't find it that exciting as a match


** 1/2 our of 5


Brock vs Finn


When Brock wants to work with you, he makes you look like a million bucks, and he bumped hard and worked hard for Finn. People might talk about hating Brock, but they forget that when that music hits. Brock is a event. I remember reading a interview by Paul a little while ago where he talked about the biggest thing that people don't understand about Lesnar is that he doesn't hate wrestling, he really loves it, he hates travel and he's not good around people. I thought that this was a well executed match with Finn doing a lot of work, and Brock selling it. I don't know how I feel about the beat down at the end, but I would expect we're going to get demon vs Brock down the road.


*** out of 5.


The Mens rumble Seth Rollins wins


Unlike the woman's rumble they bought in some old timers like JJ JE double F JA double R e double T ha ha ha. Overall it was a decent but not spectacular rumble.



We did have R-Truth screwed out of his spot by Nia Jax. She went in and pulled off an elimination and then got destroyed. Dolph's super kicks are the goat.


Braun is just totally flat right now, I think his limits are starting to catch up with him now. I was actually cheering against him winning. I loved that they threw in some of the lesser lights and had Andrade really announced himself.


I just didn't enjoy it as much as the woman's rumble


*** out of 5.


On a side note, I read that TJ Wilson is producing a lot of woman's matches now, and that Heyman does a lot of work backstage with Ronda.


Not a bad ppv but it lost a lot of energy in the second half and the woman to me carried the card.


Overall mark for the whole PPV *** out of 5




I hope the CalgaryPuck Brigade had a great time.
