Well Over the limit has come and gone.  And as you can tell by the title of this post, I didn’t think much of it.  From top to bottom the whole thing felt more like a Raw of Smackdown than a Pay Per View.  Indeed, if I had paid full price for this disaster at home rather than 5 buck at the sport’s bar, I would be very upset.

                Let’s start with the almost total lack of acknowledgement of the Macho Man’s death.  I let this slide on Smackdown because it had been prerecorded before Macho Man passed.  But to not have anything but a measly splash screen for a few seconds before the whole thing began felt like an insult to Randy and all his fans.  How could the announcers not even mention this MAJOR event? 

                One could claim that WWE did not want to waste valuable PPV time that people had paid for on a tribute, but they spend A LOT of time on otherwise stupid meaningless things.  What is the point of bringing out Alberto Del Rio if he was not going to be involved in any matches at all?  What was the reason we all had to sit and watch that stupid promo with President Obama?  How can the WWE justify charging people and them making them listen to R-Truth talk?

                The biggest disappointment of the night was the quality of the matches themselves.  Rather the lack thereof.  It was so hard to sit there the whole time and watch these matches that just couldn’t hold my interest.  There were botched spots and screw job endings.  Not to mention the uncomfortable beating we had to watch Cena take for 15 minutes.  Wrestling is fun because the violence always seems somewhat cartoony.  It was hard to watch a man get hit over and over again when you knew deep down it must have hurt. 

                I’m not sure what the WWE is going to offer next.  I just hope that they can pick up the quality of PPV by next month.
