BRM Reviews the 3/4/2014 Main Event

[Big Red Machine]

DANIEL BRYAN vs. KANE- 7/10
Great match. Dragon wins via roll-up, setting the stage for a rematch with a more decisive victory for Bryan

MAIN EVENT WILL BE LIVE FROM NOW ON- A good idea. I assume they are trying to do everything they can to test the stream so that it doesn't screw up at Mania. In order for this to be a helpful test, though, they need to hype Main Event up as being must-see, with matches that enough people will want to see in order to create something close to the same stream traffic as Mania.

NIKKI BELLA (w/Brie Bella) vs. ALICIA FOX (w/Aksana)- 3.75/10
I didn't notice it until just now, but Alicia Fox's "It's Getting Hot In Here" rip-off instrumental music is gone. I actually liked that music.
The match was much better than expected. Alicia Fox tried to do the Dolph Ziggler "look at how athletic I am" full-flip face-bump out of of a monkey flip, but didn't quite get all the way around.

BIG SHOW RETURN PROMO- a reason to watch Smackdown.

RENEE YOUNG INTERVIEWS THE USOS- great babyface stuff from the Usos.

ROAD DOGG PROMO- he says that they need to postpone the match because they are both injured. To help this, the Outlaws are dressed in street clothes. Brad Maddox comes out and says that the Outlaws will get their rematch when they are healthy, but for tonight, the Usos will instead defend against Los Matadores.

WWE TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Usos(c) vs. Los Matadores (w/El Torito)- 5.75/10
Bland babyface vs. babyface match. Not close to good enough for a main event. NAO were eh on commentary. NAO disrespect El Torito after the match and Billy winds up getting a hurricanrana from Torito and then eats a triple-team finisher.

A decent show. It would have been better if the main event was better... or at least the advertised match. The Kane vs. Bryan match definitely had the "big" feel I think WWE wanted for this show.

STUPID ANNOUNCER QUOTES:
1. Tom Phillips called the rivalry between the Bellas and Foxana "an interesting one." Someone's got low standards.
