First off, the canned heat for this show sucked. It sounded so unprofessional. Ugh, this is why I despise taped shows with dead crowds. If you're going to do a double-shot, do it with a hot crowd like Sacramento or New York or Philly or Toronto.
Secondly, John Morrison got more on Randy Orton with that missed Chuck Kick than he usually gets on Starship Pain.
Thirdly, the announcement of the six-pack challenge, which was the only spoiler I knew about, was anti-climactic.
Just a flat show all around. The in-ring was pretty forgettable. I liked Sheamus' promo to begin the show. Hell, Sheamus was the co-MVP of the show with Miz, who fucking ruled it with his promo and who had the best match of the show with Cena. The finish of the match is what really made it. It protected Miz by not sacrificing him to SuperCena and it put Daniel Bryan over.
But yeah, for whatever reason, the WWE has these summer doldrums going into the fall PPVs, and this year is no different. Pass.
However, the LiveBlog was fun, and it always makes terrible RAWs more bearable. Thanks again for coming out!
