    I'm finding this a nice filler break honestly. Which is what it is meant to be.

    Nice touch having a recording of Fink announcing the names. Must have took a bit to find them.

    To be fair that was really bloody good and the best WWE wrestling match in a long long time.

    Despite the camera angles that magically appeared in the ring every so often that really was a great match after all!

    A fantastic match and storytelling from two of the all time greats in Edge and Orton. No need for high spot after high spot like you see these spot monkey's doing these days. Just hard hitting wrestling from start to finish.

    Overall another enjoyable ppv by the wwe during this tough times. Hopefully they keep it going throughout the summer.

    I thought Randy/Edge was great. I thought Drew/Lashley was great (until the Lana ending). The Street Profits vs Viking Raiders stuff was Wrestlecrap, but thats right up my street.

    So, basically, I thought that was a really strong show over all.

    So will the tag title match be on Raw tonight? Fun segment. That ref reminds me of Steph sometimes.

    Sheamus vs Jeff Hardy was a bit sloppy at times but I throughly enjoyed it. Their styles match well together.

    They got a long time too, which is rare for a mid-card feud nowadays. Last few PPVs WWE have seem to have gone with substance over style.

    Smiled the whole way through the Viking Profits segment. Thoroughly enjoyable.

    Does the whole Vikings Profit segment not dilute the whole product. Like the Orton and Edge hard hitting real storyline followed a segment with a magic chicken leg, a dumpster monster and a ninja faction.

    Don't get me wrong it wa good until it completely jumped the shark in that segment.

    WWE is a variety show. There's the wrestling purists who will love Bryan/AJ from Smackdown, people who want blood feuds like Edge/Orton and this is supposed to appeal to kids too and I imagine a lot of kids find a bowling ball to the balls and a magic chicken leg funny.

    Magic chicken leg? I assumed it was the Force, which ties into the weird Star Wars trash compactor homage at the end, including direct quotes.

    And it was a turkey leg. (I just know that because it's what they always talk about) :)

    I'm well aware what WWE is but there surely had to be some realm of believability? Under any construct you need to work within that universe. For awhile I was entertained by this but it's getting beyond ridiculous now.

    At the age of 30 maybe my time has passed because during the McIntyre leaner mania match which came directly after the fun house match I thought if they are openly making fun of their product why would I give a ****.
