That's where the WWE has fallen to. Bless Greg for the FUN.

WWE Main Event 1/30/13
1) Ryback vs Antonio Cesaro ~ **1/4
2) Tensai vs Titus O'Neil ~ **
Best overall main event of the year. Not only b/c of TLK. The matches legit had entertainment value for me. Where as so far the only match I've liked from the program all year was the really good Sheamus vs Ziggler match. At least this gave me two fun bouts. Cesaro gets Ryback to what is his best non-CM Punk match within the company and Tensai vs O'Neil was a decent big guy smash em up type affair. Plus, Tensai won. Goofy face attachment or not, I'll take it. TENSAI.
Miz/Ziggler is my favourite, since their chemistry was superb, Miz actually looked decent in there, great selling from BOTH, and this had the curiosity factor since it had never happened before, whereas Sheamus/Ziggler has happened 100 times in the past. Still a great match nonetheless. I'd rank both around ***1/2-3/4 range.
Yeah, Ziggler vs Miz was a really good match. Loads of fun there. Not sure what my favorite has been. Either that match or probably Hell No vs Rhodes Scholars from 12/19. I loved that match.
Honorable mentions go to Sheamus vs Ziggler (1/9/13), Sheamus vs Barrett (11/7/12), & Cena/Sandow (11/28)
Didn't like that 6 man tag with Orton/Luchadores vs ADR/Prime Time Players. Very blah.
Cesaro has brought some fun to the show too. At this rate he'll be on it weekly.
Firstly, the biggest change is that the Top 20 Divas Countdown has now been dropped and a brand new addition has been made titled “Midsouth”, which we can only presume will be a DVD set focusing on the History of Mid-South Wrestling/UWF, and all being well this will be released on September 10th.
So WTF why did I wait so long to watch Punk/Bryan from OTL? I have been feeling disconnected from the product (and, admittedly, am a Rumble-Mania fan) but Punk is my guy, and Bryan is my number 2 (typical IWC fan? who gives a fuck). But what they did at OTL just absolutely blew me away. Incredible.
For me, I put that on par with the work Angle/Benoit did, esp at their Rumble match. I'm just a sucker for crazy holds, and that Mexican Surfboard was probably the best I've seen since the 90s. Bryan's psychology was awesome, the technical wrestling was great. And it had a big match feel.
I really hate the YES! gimmick, but man he played it perfectly. Lots of swagger with it (Will they ever go back to the LaBell lock? please?). I liked the ending, not so crazy about the Punk tap but whatever. It was a near perfect match, best match I've seen in a long time... I go back to the triple threat at XX and Lesnar/Angle. Just really cool fucking wrestling.
:lmao @ it originally meant to be a DVD on Divas. Went from the biggest load of "who cares" to something that's been needed on DVD for years. I guess Watts managed to get a hold of his collection again.
Video cutting off TLK wanting Cesaro to walk up the ramp = no buys.
I'm totally going to milk this too.
