So Vengeance was a thing...and here are my thoughts:
-Kofi/Bourne vs. Ziggler/Swagger: Match was good. Too bad Vince could give a **** less about tag teams.
-Ziggler vs. Ryder: Pretty short; could of been a really good match with more time.
-Phoenix vs. Torres: This was when I decided to take a shit. Couldn't of been a better decision.
-Christian vs. Shaemus: Not bad, but another disappointing match mainly because they are capable of doing much better.
-Miz/Truth vs. Huntorr/Punk: Oh boy, Kevin Nash run in (yawn). Thanks for putting a Raw match on a PPV
-Orton vs Rhodes: Match moved at an ungodly slow pace, Cody was buried. Sigh
-Show vs. Henry: Ring collapse, while starting to be overdone, was fitting for a match like this. Wasn't great, but better than I was expecting.
-Cena vs. Del Rio: Another Miz-Truth run in, Cena no sells everything. Del Rio wins, but looks like a chump. Even when you win....you still lose. Only reason this match didn't blow was due to the bumps Del Rio was taking like a champ.
-General thought: There's just too many PPVs. Too many performers are being recycled for the same set of matches over and over and the booking quality is dropping at a tremendous rate. It really is not surprising PPV buy-rates are tanking.
They need to cut out about a 3rd of the overall amount of PPVs. Work out deals with advertisers and sprinkle around some commercial free "supershows." Feels like I've watched 3 of these PPVs around a month of time.
