The announcers tried, but even they couldn’t make up for or explain away the deafening silence that accompanied Lars Sullivan’s debut ppv match in WWE.

Sullivan won his 3-on-1 handicap match against the Lucha House Party – by DQ. The trio decided they’d had enough and ganged up on Lars, wrapping up his legs and splashing him several times to knock him down and out – for all of 10 seconds.

The luchadores tried to leave, only for Sullivan to chase them down and attack them brutally – again, to silence. So what was the point of having Lars win by DQ? Give the Lucha House Party a moral victory, only for all three to get slaughtered 30 seconds later?

Just make it a no-DQ match, have Sullivan run over them in quick order and look dominant. It should have been Squash City. This match did no one any favors.
