Hardcore WWE Fans...I'm talking to you...
Are you okay with being lied to about the
appearances of Taker, Sting & Austin on
this show?
I mean they were advertised & then didn't
make an appearance?
The WWE lied to you...
Apparently, per WWE, they were "not needed after all" so I guess that's that...
Quite frankly, I don't even know where these guys could be used or fit in considering how "rush rush" this show was. It was like they had all these great ideas (which I honestly do not doubt) yet they probably forgot this is a two hour show rather then three hours, leading to almost everything seemingly working in panic mode, only exception being the opening segment with the Rock. That was about the only thing on this show that was given all the time in the world.
In regards to the Brock/Kofi main event, I feel the most sad part about the situation is that WWE basically flushed down the toilet everything they had built with Kofi. In other words, six months of work just went...poof in less then ten seconds. It's not like we haven't seen this before (Lesnar/Goldberg Survivor Series is still very fresh in my mind) and perhaps I could go back to the argument of them feeling they didn't have enough time for everything but that still isn't good enough of an excuse of how Kofi was treated here. I mean, it's not like the six man tag earlier was necessary earlier in the night, nor did it really have any meaning, hence my belief it could have easily been scrapped in order to give the main event a bit more breathing room.
Aside from that, I wouldn't be so down on Brock being the new champ. I get the worries of him being a part timer and this bringing back the not so fond memories of his previous reigns on RAW, however my understanding is that, at least at this stage, we will be seeing a lot more of Brock Lesnar then what you may actually think. There's a lot of money involved folks and if there's one thing for sure, Brock is all about it...
