BRM Reviews the 10/7/2014 Main Event

[Big Red Machine]

WWE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Dolph Ziggler(c) vs. Bo Dallas- 6/10
Bo cut a funny promo on his way to the ring. This was Bo’s best match since being promoted to the main roster, mostly because he got more time than any other match he has had since being promoted to the main roster. Cesaro was on commentary, and he was AMAZING! He was constantly putting over both Ziggler and Bo, but always saying that he was better than them. THIS is what you are supposed to do on commentary.

TYSON KIDD & KANE BACKSTAGE- Tyson shows up and decides to randomly tell Kane that he I his own man, and not just Nattie’s husband. Kane says generic, un-Kane-like stuff. Tyson wants a match, and it turns out that Nattie has asked Kane to book him against Jack Swagger. Kane is a jerk to Tyson.

HANDICAP MATCH: Brie Bella vs. Cameron, Summer Rae, Layla, & Nikki Bella- 2.5/10
MAJOR props to Byron Saxton for being able to argue Nikki’s cause in a completely rational manner.

JACK SWAGGER (w/Zeb Coulter) vs. TYSON KIDD (w/Natalya)- 3.5/10
Zeb decides to be a dick to Tyson for no reason. He also called Natalya “Natalie,” which is her shoot name, and also a name she has NEVER been called on the air before. Even on Total Divas.
Tyson won and was very happy. Byron Saxton perfectly summed up my feelings on this Tyson Kidd angle. Why is everyone being such a dick to him?

STARDUST (w/Goldust) vs. JEY USO (w/Jimmy Uso)- 6.5/10
Did I miss some segment where it was ruled that wrestlers from these two teams MUST face each other in every single match they have?

A decent episode of Main Event that was made even better by the awesome commentary from Byron Saxton. I’m totally serious about that.

A while ago. Before Night of Champions.
