Still too many bs comedy segments, but a much better show than last week's 3 stooges abortion. I always like it when they start with wrestling instead of promos and they gave punk and henry a lot of time. Nice to see a champion of punk's build get a clean win over a monster. It doesn't happen often. Thought the Jericho bit right after was strong, too. That match should be good, with I assume Punk losing in his home town. That's where they should be in the feud now. I fast-forwarded through santino and any time that R-Truth showed up. I thought the Lesnar promo was really, really good, and I like that they're using UFC instead of shying away from it. I just hope they do the right thing and let him just destroy Cena. It's funny though, that it seems like they view Cena as the babyface still through all this, and Lesnar as the heel. Although I don't know how you can root against Lesnar after his promo. It's going to be sad when Cena wins, whether that's in 2 weeks or later on. I actually liked the Tensei stuff, didn't expect to, and I liked that he got the win at the end, although that whole segment felt flat to me. Oh, and Danielson's stuff was all great, including the match. The bit about the "yes" lock was hilarious. Like that they let him get a win on Kofi, makes him look more like competition for Sheamus. Hilarious that there seemed to be more 'yes' chants than cheering for Sheamus in the UK.
Hopefully they have a good show next week leading into the PPV.
