5. Hurry Up! There Are Breast Cancer Survivors!
Cant you just envision hearing Vince McMahon sitting in the Gorilla position telling that to Neville and Sheamus as they walked out to the ring? It sure seemed like they were rushed, as what could have been a fun bruising-bully-versus-undersized-warrior gave way immediately to a distraction finish that then wasnt follow up on. WWE seemed to remember to King Barrett has returned to the roster last week, having him join commentary at least temporarily. Seconds into the match, Barrett jumped up from the announce desk to get Nevilles attention after his countryman had jumped Sheamus. The Celtic Warrior wasted no time in hitting the Brogue Kick for the pin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoIkvZRnApY What made this worse was that there was no follow-up with Barrett talking to Neville (he claimed he was out to cheer him on). Had there been some follow-up to advance the storyline beyond a Neville loss, it would have been something. But alas, we got nothing.
