It worked though because they don't do this stuff often and the feud had enough build behind it to give it meaning. I liked it but I thought they could have sped things up a bit at times.

Santino gives SM the belt to close the show.

Ryan Nemeth goes up to Nic Nemeth. He finds something that says "Open" on it. Matt Hardy then pops out with 3D graphics and wants to invite him to the Hardy Compound where they will suffer deletion.

Overall thoughts: The opener was alright. The Edwards/Maclin/Austin three way was good. Moose/Akeem was fine. I liked the Nemeth Brothers 6-man tag. Sami/Mance was a bloody barbed wire battle as expected and was good as well. The main was fine but nothing must see.

I'd give this one a 7 out of 10 overall. Nothing was great or super memorable but almost everything was at least acceptable. Maybe it wasn't the most exciting watch, but I think you will come out feeling alright with this if you check it out.
