How does the audience at these shows sit through this shit?

Eh, will toss spoiler tags around the rest since -- even though I don't go into the results -- I guess I should cover it anyway

The Brock Lesnar stuff took forever and then I can't even remember what happened after that, other some NXT guys I don't recognize trying to have a moment with Kurt Angle. Then there was a Harley Race tribute. And then we got a "match" between Drew McIntyre (who has come a long way since his jobber days -- something we can thank the indy circuit for) and Cedric Alexander where Kurt was the guest ref. Nothing happens other than a short brawl outside the ring.

More importantly, Bray Wyatt has ANOTHER new gimmick now? What happened to that children's show thing he was doing? Wowie yowie! I will say that I like the look of "the Fiend," who -- at first glance -- had a Beetlejuice vibe.

I'm happy to see that the New Day is still around as a group... and oddly happy to see the OC, which I guess is the WWE's take on the Bullet Club? Gallows's new look is neat. Styles still has some great moves, but a lot of the match looked a little sloppy.

I will say that I like Samoa Joe's attitude, etc, but his lousy physique and style is so fucking distracting. Also I liked the random CM Punk chants.

And when will they stop doing the silly "just arriving at the arena gimmick" when it's never made sense as a set-up. No performer "just gets there" that late in the night. Also, was that J&J security just then?

Apparently the Divas division has grown? I didn't recognize half the participants. Kairi Sen (?) is cute. Mandy Rose's name I recognize, but I'm not sure I have any familiarity with Sonya whatever. I thought Nikki Cross looked familiar; I *think* I might have seen one of her matches for another company. She's a cute companion for Alexa Bliss. ...I don't know who those champs are. I thought the brunette looked a bit like the NXT chick that Goldust was involved with at one point, but apparently it's not her.

Eh, a 4-way elimination match for the WWE Women's Tag Teams Champsionship is a nice way to close out the show. While i'm not sure *why* both halves of a tag team have been allowed in the ring all this time, I will say that the Iconics seem pretty good.

I'm probably most impressed by Kairi, who has some great ring presence. I loved when she and Alexa Bliss were in the ring together, mocking each other, etc. It's also somewhat amazing how to stop and think about much Alexa has evolved since premiering on NXT with that silly fairy gimmick.

I will say that was a pretty good match. Probably the only thing worth watching all night... granted, for a wrestling show that runs as long as it does, once again there wasn't *that* much wrestling.

Also wtf happened to Paige? Is my screen messed up or does she look terrible now?

The night's final segment is a MizzTV thing involving Dolph and HBK... and a surprise guest.
