I was shocked by how much I found myself enjoying the ppv last night. I went in expecting dreadful crap and was surprised at how decent the majority of the matches were. I have been hoping for an AJ heel turn where she aligns herself with Dolph and even though she turned on Cena I'm not sure they are going to have her be with Dolph even though IMO it would be good for both characters.
The Shield match was the best of the night just ahead of the main event. I don't watch much Indy or developmental wrestling at all so this is my first time really seeing the three of them in action. It's hard to judge from a brawling style match like that but from what I've seen they all three look quite competent in the ring (especially Ambrose). I know there's a lot of buzz around him and I am beginning to see why, he reminds me a little of a young Shawn Michaels (his move selling, his facial expressions, his cocky persona). Roman Reigns has the look of a star to me, if he is even half way decent in the ring he could be huge if given the right character. Rollins I am a bit unsure of, he seems good in the ring but his mic skills leave something to be desired, hopefully he can improve over time.
Sandow and Rhodes are great together, I really hope they put the belts on them soon before they lose steam with the fans. I love everything about them except for the name (drop the TEAM crap at the beginning of their name, just call them The Rhodes Scholars DAMNIT!!!).
Antonio Cesaro's push has been handled greatly, I can't believe the WWE didn't screw it up. He looks like a future "top guy" and has brought instant credibility to the United States Championship, arguably more than the IC belt has right now (no offense to Kofi). Him and Sandow, along with at least 2 of the Shield look like a good part of the upper card future of the company. Cena, Orton, and Punk can only wrestle so long before they break down.
