Rumour is Tensai was told to sandbag just to see how Ryback would react. Would have helped if Tensai worked over his arm or back to make it seem realistic that Ryback would struggle compared to Friday but whatever. If WWE wanted to test him then I'd say he probably passed. If it wasn't a test and just him struggling to lift Tensai then he's letting a main event opportunity drop (or not lifting it in the first place...). It's not like big Albert hasn't been a consummate professional in the past, he got dropped on his neck by Brock and I didn't read anywhere that he was bitter. He's jobbed his whole career. He came back to the US to make a quick buck jobbing to the stars instead of being king of the mountain in Japan. I lean towards it being a test.
I was majorly impressed with Cesaro though. He recognised he couldn't get Brodus up for the Swiss Death so hit a springboard European Uppercut which was pretty imaginative. Then he managed to get Clay up for that weak finisher. Hate the move but I was more than impressed with that. I hope WWE sticks with this guy being a midcard champion and builds him up.
Sandow was also outstanding against Sheamus. It was a pretty stiff match which was something I didn't think he'd cope with but he took it like a champ and dished it out too. It was a lot of fun to watch, he threw in a ton of offense. Loved his effort in this one.
It's the Punk show, and you won't hear my complaining. Just the way he comes out to the ring now gets people riled up. It's really fun to watch a guy in his element and doing what he's best at, as opposed to corny face Punk. It was a refreshing show without Cena again but...
3 hours just drags... I find myself forgetting what even happened in the first hour, which makes me realise I don't really care. There's so many guys on that roster that simply need to take a break for a month or so just to rehabilitate or just freshen up a little. Del Rio has become so damn boring for example, he's been overexposed. An example of this recently was Show doing the media rounds and coming back recently and getting a pretty awesome reaction in the arena. The roster isn't as thin as it was a year ago I don't think. There's people they can elevate to fill some holes. Sheamus and Big Show should be a decent transitional feud. If they go with Punk Ryback it'll be really rushed but it'll work in the meantime. I'm just getting a little bored of the same people every week doing the same shtick.
Rant over.
Oh and I got excited to watch Impact this week and it blew. So disappointed because I had it taped and couldn't wait to finish work to see Samoa Joe wrestle twice, and that Gut Check guy get a contract because he was great. But neither happened
