I agree with this yet my overall impression is that it was pretty good and I enjoyed it.
My thoughts on the whole PPV
All backstage/alexa/elias stuff - crap, Hogan was funny in an unintentional way let down he didn't celebrate with Kofi. I expect to see backstage stuff.
205 match - same as usual, really good match to no reaction at all
Womens BR - crap
Raw tag - Not great but I enjoyed this. Revival aren't doing anything and the other tag team has the potential to be lulz for a few weeks.
Men's BR - crap
Lesnar Rollins - I enjoyed this and thought it worked well. Not great wrestling but it was entertaining and I'm glad it wasn't a 30 minute chore of a Rollins match where I had to sit through all his usual spots.
Styles Orton - Considering I thought this was going to be nothing I was pleasantly surprised. Orton putting in a tiny bit of effort is always nice as he can be great when he's not boring. Probably one of my favourite matches of the night.
Smackdown tag - Didn't quite live up to how much fun I thought it could be but it was good. Bit of a spot fest and no real story but that's fine. Enjoyable.
Shane Miz - Probably the most entertaining part of the whole night imo. The only reason I dislike the finish is because it extends the feud and Shane is awful in anything but matches like this where he is very good.
Women's tag - This was boring and pretty bad in ring too. Result made my day though.
Kofi Bryan - Really good not much else to say. I think they can do good things with the new day going forward with the belt, Bryan wont' suffer at all. Obviously Kofi isn't a long term champ but I don't see why every champ has to be.
Joe Rey - Meh, Rey was injured not much else they could do. I love Joe but they keep getting him so wrong I fully expect him to be built up and then lose everything as he has done since coming up.
Roman Drew - Considering it could have been great I think this was the worst match of the night. Boring match, meh predictable result and started a downfall of the night.
HHH Batista - Slow and crap. Few ok spots but so slow and stupid kickouts ruining them. Also some weird hardcore type spots that just came across as odd and not hardcore like ripping out some pathetic nose ring.
Corbin Angle - Rubbish match but I think the result could be used well.
Balor Lashley - Crap
Women's match - Pretty big letdown, never really got going for me and the ending was really bad.
