Opening segment

By Scott Keith on July 3, 2013

If you think this question is stupid, you can refrain from posting it to the blog, but:

You weren't a fan of all the guys in the MITB ladder match coming out to talk about the match at the beginning. All you could say about it was it was long. But isn't "hyping up the PPV match" basic booking 101? You had everyone in the match, all saying they'd win, then they started getting feisty with each other. It makes people want to see what'll happen when they go full-bore at the PPV.

Is it because you're not interested in the match, or because it wasn't concise, or what? What wasn't working about it?

f we started worrying about stupid questions on the blog then we'd be down to 1 post per day.
The issue was that:
a) It was too long.
b) It didn't have a point that it was building towards, given that everyone just sort of walked off.
c) Half the guys were doing bad comedy and the other half were doing intense badass and I had no idea what the tone of thing was supposed to be. PPV hype or ironic comment on PPV hype? I don't think Punk even knows anymore.
d) I just have no idea what's going on with Daniel Bryan right now because he's not likeable at all. He's becoming the loudmouthed little overcompensating creep that you just want to shut up at this point.
e) RVD wasn't even there.
f) The speeches just stalled and meandered and didn't build off each other, and basically yes, it was just too long.
