WWE MAIN EVENT 5.13.14

We start with Renee in the ring with Paul Heyman. Heyman tells her to stop because she killed her credibility. He wonders how she can say Sheamus in the same breath as Cesaro.

Sheamus grabs a mic and asks Heyman how he is fella. Sheamus says he can’t pronounce my name in the same breath as a Paul Heyman guy. Sheamus says he can introduce himself too.

MATCH THOUGHTS: I’m not really sure what this accomplishes for Sandow. He basically has a purpose but constantly loses. Regardless, the actual match was good for 5 minutes. My only issue is the ending came out of virtually nowhere.

MATCH THOUGHTS: The match was decent for the little time it got. The biggest question though is what they are doing with people losing constantly yet getting more character than other people who win constantly. Alicia Fox keeps losing and throwing tantrums. I’m not sure what the point is, but it is catching my attention for better or worse. Good match between the two. I just wish both matches got more time.

OFFICIAL RESULT: No Contest @ 13:00 via double countout
MATCH THOUGHTS: If this feud continues the double countout result is the right one. The match itself was hot and got the crowd into the show. Great match between these two. Let’s hope this feud continues on.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Good main event tonight. I have few complaints. I only hate that they do not use the full hour allotted for Main Event. The other two matches could have used a few more minutes; nonetheless, good show. Check out Cesaro and Sheamus if you want to see hard hitting wrestling. They should stick with the three match format because it makes the show far more interesting. Also, thanks to anyone who read the recap.
