I'm not going to go into too much detail on this PPV, which I actually paid for. It was a very solid ppv, and Lethal and AJ stole the fuckin' show for sure. There were at least 4 instances where I saw some great moves I've never even seen before in this one match alone.
But here's my fucking problem.... Bubba Ray is fighting Jesse something or other (another really good match)... and then TOMMY FUCKING DREAMER shows up in the crowd for the distraction on Bubba. Jesse Whoever gets the win, they show Dreamer, then CUT TO HULK FUCKING HOGAN who doesn't even bring it up. He talks about... I don't even know. I was completely in shock that they just had Dreamer finally show up. They showed ten seconds of him, and DON'T MENTION IT FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW.
If you were going to do that, why make it the like... 4th match on the card with two hours left in the show? They completely shot their wad in the first hour, then pretended nobody fuckin' saw it. It was almost as if Tommy Dreamer literally bought a ticket to the show, they caught him in the audience for a min then didn't mention him again.
THEN.. The main fucking event... ::sigh:: First of all the match was only ten mins long. It was the shortest match on the card and they ended ten mins early.
The biggest problem here, is that they've been hyping Sting with this "deception" angle. He's been teasing that he's going to "explain" what he's been beating the shit out of everyone for, etc. It's been one of their most compelling angles thus far. They even bothered to stretch it out over a few months now. So it turned out that RVD wins in ten mins. Then the show ends.
No questions answered, no ECW run-ins. Sting didn't even win. You have Dreamer in the house and use him to distract Bubba Ray instead of having him run-in to help either Sting or RVD??? I mean this is common fucking sense.
Also I like the part where they cut to Sting in the rafters and there's no crowd noise, the lighting is different, etc.
Like I said, the wrestling on the show was the shit. Even the knockouts match was brutal as fuck. I can't think of a time I saw a broad bleeding all over the ring. But... how do you fuck up what should have been a great build to Dreamer/Heyman/ECW angle?
