Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry, here are the highlights…
On the show as a whole: “It’s hard to evaluate the show, other than what we saw, especially for me as I have no idea of the long term direction of WWE creative which is not a complaint BTW. The show was solid, the talents worked hard and there were some obvious highlights of which I will address. The show was better than most RAWS largely because it wasn’t a three hour marathon.”
On the Money In The Bank ladder match: “Not discounting the efforts of the MITB match which started the show the match seemed to be average plus and was largely a stunt man show with the stunts being toned down for a safer environment. I was surprised that Sheamus won the MITB and am curious to see where Sheamus’ win takes us. The MITB is another illustration of how hard it is to execute specialty matches like the Elimination Chamber, Hell in a Cell, and now MITB in a safer, more PG friendly presentation. At some point, the stunts will become repetitive and less impactful to a highly discerning audience.”
On John Cena vs. Kevin Owens: “Loved the Cena-Owens match including Cena winning but the post match action was the highlight for me especially Owens’ aggression, Cena’s selling and Owens’ manically laughing. Owens losing but leaving with all the heat was a good scenario IMO. What will people remember most about this match? I say it was the post match villainous conduct of Owens. Good execution of this match in many phases especially the post match. Both men busted their ass to deliver and they did.”
