Lane points out that WWE basically promoted this show as if the action would be split between Barclay’s Center and The Manhattan Center when it wasn’t even close to that. Richards thought it was neat to see Undertaker at The Manhattan Center, but his promo was confusing and Richards wondered if he missed something there because he couldn’t pick any sense out of that promo at all.

Hamin thinks WWE has already completely ruined the “Woken” Hardy character. He couldn’t believe they booked Wyatt to pin Hardy on this show, when there was thousands of more entertaining ways Hardy could have been used. It’s obvious to him that WWE doesn’t give a damn about this program because it absolutely sucks right now, and in reality it should be some of their most captivating television.

Hamin thought the DX segment at Manhattan Center was “Weird”. Even though it’s obvious that WWE was trying to get Balor Club over by giving them the “DX rub”, it actually made them look like a bunch of copycats. He points out that if WWE really wanted to get Balor Club over, they would have booked them to leave the legends laid out in the ring.

Lane loved the Austin/McMahon segment and he points out that he never gets tired of seeing this heel McMahon character. Hamin and Richards both liked it as well, but Hamin points out that the climax of that segment was when Austin hit McMahon with the Stunner, and that should have been the end of the segment. Hitting Shane with another Stunner after that was unnecessary and anti-climactic.
