7/10. It was good overall.

Loved the opening segment. Lesnar's, well Heyman's promo was gold, like always.

Roman Reigns vs Rybaxel was decent, their segment was more interesting when the match was over, than the match itself.

RVD vs Rollins was alright, best part of it was Ambrose coming out of present box and attacking Rollins.

Stephanie/Brie and the 'therapist' segment was meh.

Cesajob vs Swagger. Cesaro lost again? Really? So far, WWE have been doing a real good job at burying Cesaro.

For the first time ever, I really listened what Cena was saying in his promo. To my surprise, he wasn't as boring as he usually is when he's on the mic. It got my attention when he said 'When does John Cena turn?'. I'd legit mark out if he turned heel at SummerSlam!

Nice build-up for Brie vs Steph. They're really looking to make Brie a star, while not forgetting about DBry.

Umm, where the hell are Harper and Rowan? That's a huge minus for this week's episode. Hopefully they get a title shot at ME against the Usos, since it's an open challenge.

Ziggler vs Slater was meh. This should've been a 15 min match. Slater won! I couldn't believe it. They must have something good in store for him. Maybe the US/IC title run...

Orton vs Sheamus was great, as usual. These two always deliver.

Lesnar crashing Hulk's party was good, but should've ended in chaos, with Lesnar cleaning up the house. Damn!

That final segment where they celebrated Hogan's birthday would have been a lot more epic if Savage and Warrior were still around to be apart of it. Would have loved to have seen an eye-to-eye between Lesnar and the "Macho Man", even though Savage kind of matured into looking like Santa Claus by the time he died.

Forgot to mention another great segment, Y2J and Bray. Really enjoyed it!

My head's still spinning. Of all the angles WWE could rip off from TNA... :lol1:

Didn't watch the whole thing so can't grade it but from what I saw it wasn't a bad show at all. Heyman is pretty good at talking.

Suspending disbelief, I felt so uncomfortable when Lesnar hit the ring. Him eyeballing those legends (and Hall and Nash), knowing they would be completely vulnerable, left me feeling uncomfortable.

It left Nash in a bad spot. As the only one of the bunch who could still be considered physically capable of going with a current WWE superstar in a believable storyline, he was left looking like a coward for backing up and getting behind the other guys.

I have never cared for Cena as a good guy, but actually got excited (slightly) when his music hit.

That's how uncomfortable I felt for those legends (and Hall and Nash).

Cesaro losing clean to Swagger really hurts. He should be neck and neck with the top guys, only losing hard fought battles with guys like Cena.

Swagger isn't going anywhere. Cesaro likely will. Why have him job for Swagger. The only reason anyone cares about the Swagger storyline is because of Colter, Lana, and Rusev.

Now that you've mentioned Lesnar 'eyeballing those legends'... Flair was the only one nodding his head and smiling. I laughed my ass off when I saw it, looks like Flair was either high or drunk. lol

Flair has had his ass kicked so many times he wouldn't care anyway. Lesnar ran through him before too.

Of the whole bunch, Flair is the only one who can still physically perform at a high level. He just lost his mind, so his work sucks.

If I attended, I would have thrown all the money my wallet into the damn ring if Warrior and Savage were there and Lesnar eyeballed them.

I didn't see. So Lesnar eyeballed them, but didn't attack? What a bunch of pu**ies, every one of them.

Warrior backed down from a decrepit Iron Sheik. Savage backed down from Brutus at Hogan's house.

Lesnar would had them both dumping in their boots.
