Neville vs Shemus

 

This was fun until the finish. I've seen worse finishes, but doesn't help Neville at all.

 

Won't hurt him either though, especially if he wins the whole thing (longshot, but you never know).

 

Too fluke for me. If he wins with a better finish in the finals I have no problem with it.

Barrett's work on top was awesome. Neville had a spirited comeback. Barrett cuts him off by attacking his back with Winds of Change. He sells a bit. Makes another comeback that builds to a real good finish. Strong match from both guys. Neville ate that Bull Hammer like a pro.

They rushed everything. They could have trimmed a lot of the time on the interviews. Kept Barrett in the ring. etc I thought they'd been a little smarter with their time. As a show in general.

 

Yea, the whole thing could have been planned out better including when they held the tournament. I get that they are trying to load up this week to get the free April subscribers to stay on, but putting the tournament on next week or better yet, having it run multiple Tuesdays beginning with tonight would have forced free subscribers to re-up if they wanted to see the King of the Ring show(s). Instead it was announced, 1st round matches were placed randomly on RAW, and there was no time for anyone to get excited about the semi's and final. Doing something like two 1st round matches on RAW to introduce the tournament, two more tonight, semi's next week, and finals the week after would have let everything breathe more. It also would have allowed them to give more time to all of the matches.

I don't understand this Barrett project. WWE has thrown him into a number of main events, gave him 5 IC title reigns, and position him at the front runner (and eventual winner) of NXT Season 1...and yet he still isn't as over as he should be. Some may blame this on his injuries which have resulted in his stop-start pushes, but in reality he should be more over than he currently is.

I'm liking this Sheamus vs Ziggler feud way better than I thought I would. Seriously it's one of my favorite things on WWE TV right now.

 

Glad Barrett won, I think he can do some fun stuff with the gimmick. Hopefully he doesn't go on a losing streak to retired former kings like Booker, Regal, Billy Gunn, etc.

 

They should do stuff like this every six weeks or so on the network. It did feel special and I enjoyed it.

Going to echo others in this thread. Very good main event for the limited time given to both guys.

Agreed. I'd be up for them to run a G1 style or Real World Tag Team style tourney on the Network in the same vein. It'll make me want to go to it and stay on it more than I already do.

Definitely.

 

I don't know if a Lethal Lottery/BattleBowl done by WWE in 2015 would be good......but it would be interesting and have me watching. A Japanese style tag tournament would be incredible and unlike anything WWE has booked in years

 

bringing back KOTR, even if it was out of nowhere and kind of rushed and probably only happened due to Bryan being on the shelf, it gives me a bit of hope for the idea of "special events" that aren't PPVs being a thing they do more of on the Network
