3. The Bludgeon Brothers Vs. Breezango

Was there a point to all of this?

Ostensibly the blowoff to a mystery angle months in the making, the team of Breezango, apparently a level above enhancement talent - else, why would they command so much TV time - were bludgeoned in under two minutes, lasting just over a minute longer than novelty relic Colin Delaney and nonentity Joe Monroe on last week's go-home show.

They performed their cameo roles well enough - they did well to convey the grave danger of the Bludgeon Brothers with some brutal-looking bumps - but that was nothing on the pain suffered by banging our heads against the bloody wall in frustration at Kevin Dunn failing, yet again, to capture the action. For a man of his power and experience, his camerawork was pathetic here - inattentive and nausea-inducing even his late career standards. The announcers sold Tyler's bump as if he might have died. We'll never know; Dunn missed it, and didn't even bother to call for a replay. It was only Tyler Breeze, after all - a guy WWE is presumably paying a not inconsiderable six-figure salary.

That's a telling comparison for this ultimately meaningless waste.

Star Rating: *
