WWE Great Balls Of Fire: 8 Things WWE Got Right

Someone should have been screaming at Booker T when he dismissed the 30-minute duration as one both tag-teams involved in the Iron Man Match were used to wrestling. That did nothing to help sell the hell these guys were supposed to be going through and totally undersold the purpose of booking the match to begin with.

Still, commentary woes aside, it was great to see Sheamus and Cesaro handed a clean win over their more experienced opponents. With time ticking down, Cesaro surprising everyone by stealing a 4-3 lead right at the death was sheer heel perfection. It was important that somebody won this by at least one clear fall.

Had WWE written a lame 3-3 draw and booked the Raw Tag-Team Champions to win by default, nobody would have gained a thing. As it is, winning 4-3 makes Sheamus and Cesaro look like Raw's smartest, fittest, and outright best duo.

Give yourselves a pat on the back, creative.
