Man, its been a while since I've marked out seriously for wrestling. Heck, when CM Punk had his gray "Best in the World" shirt was the last time I can remember buying the merch (though I gave serious consideration to the "I'm a Paul Heyman Guy" one, and not including the Cactus Jack "WANTED" shirt from his comedy show), but last night made me feel like I did when Steve Austin stunned Molly Holly.
It just seemed to click. Jack Swagger, a superior talent with a better manager went over. Dolph Ziggler went over. The Moz was in a compelling segment. And return, return, return...wow. This doesn't even go into the Rollins/RVD match or the overtime segment.
After the head writer was terminated a few weeks ago, I wondered if the product could get worse. Last night was the first time it looked like they didn't just go after two angles, but 6.
Even the audience knew they were watching something special. You should have a drinking game for how many "THIS IS AWESOME" chants broke out. There were some letdown segments (Nikki vs funkadactyls and Bo Dallas...) But overall, it seemed like the WWE was drinking the Twisted Tea they were pimping.
Anyway, take a bow, whoever you were that wrote that bad boy, I marked out, I put my hand over my heart, and I said "We the People..." Just like the 14000 fans in attendance.
