Cyber Sunday Recap; if i knew then, what i know now...

...perhaps i would have checked online results periodically.
I would go match by match offering individual reviews but lets face it, i for one have invested enough time in wwe's latest ppv by watching the damn thing.
The online countdown that was eluded to this time yesterday by my partner sean, regarding the saveus222 promos, and leading to cyber sunday was an apparent hoax; or, an elaborate countdown to 10:30pm, depending on how you choose to look at it. I hopefully, yet naively bought right into the countdown hook line and sinker, i will admit that. But my god the Jericho speculation that began months ago and has since associated itself with the saveus/savior promos are killing me and i know im not alone in this. Like, DoIt! Push the button!! For christ sake i've waited for months patiently with my "go Jericho go" sneakers on the metaphoric shoe rack just waiting to slip em on and walk around.
Alright, I've made my point, back to the review: NoJericho, thumbs down. Sorry, i know its harsh but it's my blog and i'll say what i want. Besides if wwe and it's 'Superstars' had given me a REAL show to watch (like something special, i don't know) my mind would have wandered naturally in aww and amazement. Nowadays thats virtually impossible.
Regarding the votable aspects of the show, the results of every poll were all totally predictable and made all of wwes bookings leading into the ppv come full circle way too conviently. This leads me to believe that either (a)wwe is too good at brainwashing the little kids and all other novice wrestling fans who make up most of the voting polls with their repeat votes on these types of shows, or (b) the obvious, the polls really are not a factor; wwe does it's own thing like usual while claiming otherwise. That's right, I trust vince and co. not at all to honor what they promote.
Furthermore, if i could say one thing to the superstars that performed at last nights cyber sunday, purely from a spectator standpoint, it would be the following: There is no one wrestler, or style of wrestling, or combination of size and style that works NEARLY as well as it could if every competitor in ANY given match is not trying their absolute HARDEST to make it so. For ppv, let alone television let alone merely an arena full of screaming fans, if you(wrestler) are not willing to try your very hardest to entertain with a great match, it might not hurt to rethink the career path which you have currently chosen.
