I don't get the negativity at all. Enjoyed the show a lot personally. And Rock/Punk is a lot better than most say IMO. Remove the stupid restart part, have Rock win clean and I would give it ★★★★.
I'm willing to give Punk/Rock a re-watch but I really don't want to. Thought it was slow, boring and horribly booked. I can't comprehend how a match like CM Punk v The Rock can have ZERO good nearfalls.
And at least Cena/Rock felt somewhat epic. This did not. Maybe I'm being overly critical in calling it a bad match. I don't think it was horrible but all things considered I was massively disappointed. If I still used star ratings it would be in the **1/2-**3/4 range.
I currently have Rock/Cena at **3/4. I'll see what I give Punk/Rock in a bit, just got to the RR match for my review. Show has NOT been good so far. I already knew that of course .
