Here some stuff that I realize watching last night evolution Ppv
1. WWE really shouldn't be mixing the main rosters stuff with the network stuff on the card anymore: Last night was a perfect example of how many casual fans watch NXT and the MYC. For every main roster matches, the crowd was on fire but when thoses matches happened, almost no reaction from the crowd. Don't know why the sudden swift from the crowd but when a battle royal is more over then a NXT title match, you might ask yourself what you can do to get casual fans to watch NXT or other wwe programming on the network.
2. The bella's prove all their detractors wrong by delivering a great match. This is for all thoses who say the bellas aren't over anymore or aren't great wrestlers. Just go watch this match again. This was a really great main event with 2 super over performers in Ronda and Nikki. They delivered a better match then they had any right to do and prove why they continue using the bellas in main event positions.
3. Charlotte was Becky was the match of the night: my only problem I had with this match was how they were determine to put charlotte over in the Supergirl position which I hate. The right women won the match but if you wanted to created a polarizing wrestler in the women division, you accomplish your goal with Charlotte tonight because they put her in the John cena/Roman reigns position tonight and it will turn off some fans in the long run.
4.great use of the legends: I feel they use the legends correctly tonight, lita and Trish weren't great in the opener and the rest of the legends did what they needed to do in the battle royal. In the end great use of the legends overall.
5. Love the live event atmosphere of the show. Tonight they went with a barebones production instead of the normal tv production they usually do and it made the event feel different. Using normal barricade and house light was a good way to create a better atmosphere.
6. Too many video packages. For everybody that will bitch about the propaganda they will do at crown jewel, I feel like they did the same thing here with the women's division. I get this was a special night but I didn't need to get hit over the head with it. From the kickoff which was all about making sure you knew that this was a special night to the multiple video packages. This was propaganda as it's best but this time for the women's division.
7. The final shoot of the show. I get this was a special night for the women's but the one thing I hate more then anything is when they get out of characters so that they can all pose together in the end. You just watch superstars beat the hell out of each other's and now they are buddy buddy with each other just because it was a special night so for the women's division. That make no sense. In my book.
8. Finally, and that a small thing. I was glad they went with putting Michael Cole as a play by play guy instead of trying to go full on with the women gimmick and using women's on the announce team. No offense to Renee young but I feel she couldn't have been able to make Beth and whoever they had in mind for the third person on the team enjoyable. Young is a tremendous in the booth but Beth was really horrible last night. Cole made sure to keep the show running and entertaining throughout while young was entertaining as his color commentator.
All in all, really strong show, some matches didn't get the crowd reaction I was expecting but for the most part, it was a better show then I expected and congrats to wwe for pulling it off.
