I also had the pleasure of attending WWE's No Mercy this past Sunday. I've read reviews on this very page and it's nothing but negative whining. If you've read any of my past columns you'd know that I tend to look at things on the positive side of things, but things are getting unbareable.
Did anyone REALLY think that they'd only go with two weeks of clues and videos to hype the return of Jericho/someone or the debut of whomever? The opening title angle and match were a surprise, but not the ones the smarks wanted. If the smarks had it their way the cruiser weight title would be the top title.
Because we all know being over stiff with your opponent and flippity-do-da totally equals workrate. I was a bit upset they made Umaga look so weak, but there were obvious time constraints they had to deal with. The Last Man Standing Title Match #3 was damn good.
Despite not having the build up the Cena match would have had, I think it's safe to say that this one went a lot better than one would imagine the original would have been. There's tons of bitching about the "non-finish" for the Finlay/Mysterio(yeah, it's a "y" not an "i" anymore) match, but COULD it be a start of a program between the two? Nah, never.
We need a winner and loser, dammit! Screw the fact that Finlay's fake injury got the loudest heel reaction of the night. The Punjabi Prison match was boring and after the night was over, I had blocked most of it out.
The Women's Title match was decent and not the crap fest that people are saying. I attended Wrestlemania 23 this past April and I can honestly say I had a better time at No Mercy than there. It's just really hard to read show reviews when it's almost always negative.
Do what others have done (including me); when you're not satisfied with the wrestling on television… start your own company. Your toleration, respect, and outlook become completely different.
