The Pride vs. Final Testament could suffer from the same problems.

WWE has tried to give this bout some juice by tacking on a localised "Philadelphia Street Fight" tag. They're trying to appeal to old school ECW fans there, and doing everything in their power to make sure people don't go for a whizz during this one too. It's just as well this and the aforementioned tag are on different nights!

Sunday's brawl should be a vehicle for Karrion Kross to get over as a stable-leading badass who has more menace than Bobby Lashley or The Street Profits. If not, then it'll be a total waste and Kross will be right back to square one as a heel who says mean things but can never back them up.

One simply can't shake the image of fans sitting on their hands as six guys stiff one another with weapon shots and sweat buckets to entertain. That'd be pretty depressing for all involved, 'cause they really need this feud to peak properly soon.
