Back to having guest stars, with the three actors playing the Three Stooges in the new movie remake. {that's another rant for another blog doing a remake of the stooges}
But the show opened with John Laurinaitis who came down to the ring and blah blah blahed for a bit, showing footage from last week. Then introduced Brock Lesnar. snore
John Cena then came to the ring and smashed Lesnar in the face. An old fashion fight broke out causing the entire locker room to come to the ring. Now, normally that would not even raise an eyebrow cause it happens all the time, but this time, some of the guys were only half dressed in pieces of their ring gear and pieces of their real clothes, and Cena was left looking like he should be an extra on Buffy the Vampire Slayer...
There was nothing to do next but go to a match after the commercial... Brodus Clay/Santino vs Dolph Ziggler/Jack Swagger. Vickie, I don't know how I feel about that dress, I do however wish Brodus Clay would give up the gimmick and just wrestle. Brodus Clay got the win over Ziggler
The second match of the night was R-Truth vs Codey Rhodes. The Big Show came out in the middle of the match to distract him. This gave R-Truth a chance to get the upper hand, and the win over Rhodes.
Tensai vs Yoshi Tatsu. Was the next match, and it wasn't much of one. The ref had to stop the match giving the win to Tensai. bored now
CM Punk came out to the ring a few minutes later to address the situation from last week where Jericho had broken a bottle of whiskey over his head. Personally I think this Jericho plot is a bad storyline idea.
Punk then had a match against Mark Henry. This was a title match, which ended really fast as Punk used a monitor to bash Henry over the head getting a DQ. That helped him keep his title. Jericho came down to the ring then, with two cases of beer. Punk managed to retaliate for a few seconds before getting a codebreaker from Jericho. Jericho then poured beer all over Punk.
Next up was Zack Ryder vs Albert Del Rio. Del Rio was looking like it didn't even cause him to break stride. And it didn't take him long to make Ryder tap out to the arm-bar.
Then the actors playing the Three Stooges came out to the ring, Will Sasso was dressed like Hulk Hogan... um... dude the gimmick got booed. And I'm so not a fan of him... the wrestler, fan of Sasso but I think that was just... um... bad idea. This was Kane's cue to come to the ring... just a crap segment.
I did not care to see Lesnar back... moving on. The review of the cage match from Wrestlemaina between Undertaker and Triple H... interesting that he chose to wear the Hellraiser style trenchcoat. There is a naked actor somewhere wondering why his Pinhead costume is missing.
Main event - David Otunga vs John Cena. Otunga ended up having to tap out. Lesnar then ran in with a low blow.
If you're looking for a rating or something tonight on the show... it would get a letter grade of C- or a star rating of only 2 stars. I think if the crew spent more time thinking about the direction of things and less time having everyone breaking their thumbs on twitter it would have had a better chance.
I'm just waiting for Wade Barrett's arm to heal and for him to be able to make his return. The next couple of months will be long as we wait.
