Seems like another pretty good show, at least from the wrestling department. I was just saying I wouldn't mind seeing RVD/Sandow and then the match happens...awesome! Miz really entertained me on Monday so here's hoping he keeps it up or at the very least gets his ass kicked by Randy. Bryan/Ryback will most likely be great and I'm loving what they're doing with Show in this angle because, yeah, I love the Big Show.
The only issue I have is with the Wyatt family. It really seems to me like creative is treading water while trying to figure out what to do with them. Don't get me wrong, Bray's promos are enough for now, but they're going to start wearing thin shortly and with no direction, I worry that he and his creepy family will be lost in the shuffle.
Anyhow, other than that little gripe, everything else does seem good and the story is progressing nicely. If I'm home on Friday I'll definitely be up for another LD.
