Well, that was definitely a pay-per-view.

WWE's No Mercy has come and gone for another year, and while the show seemed quite promising on paper, and was even genuinely exciting for a good half of its run-time, fan goodwill eventually ran out with the near-disastrous final three matches.

Fans are mad as hell, as they so often are, at WWE's continually tone-deaf and lazy booking, refusing to listen to crowd reactions and simply pressing on with their own misguided agenda.

Brock Lesnar's victory over Braun Strowman ignited its share of vitriol with fans for the nonsensical means through which it occurred, but this outrage was matched if not exceeded by the two preceding matches, which seemed to straight-up thumb their nose at fans for daring to crave quality storytelling.

Instead, No Mercy's second half played out as an incredibly forced trio of unsatisfying results, making fans wonder for the 7000th time what Vince and his creative team are smoking back there...

19. A Bad Start

Things didn't exactly get off to the most rousing start, with Jason Jordan suffering through a flurry of boos during his I.C. Title match with The Miz, before taking to the mic and, well, totally sucking.

The irony of Kurt Angle's "son" sucking something fierce was not lost on many fans.

Jokes aside, it's a shame Jordan's being put in such a daft storyline and awkward position, because all it does is detract from the fact that he's an incredible talent who deserves a great spot.

The Miz getting cheered, and Jordan getting booed? What even is this?

It's clear as day that WWE needs to lean into the boos, turn Jordan heel and forget about this dumb storyline. Remember how well it worked for a certain struggling competitor back in the day?
