There was no Kevin Owens, no A.J. Styles, no Enzo and Cass, pretty much no one in a prominent position I was excited for.\u00a0Everyone in my immediate surrounding were annoyed by the lack of competitive matches and well-thought-out finishes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been a WWE\u00a0fan for 20 years, and the fact that I paid my hard-earned money to come to a WWE show and see no\u00a0evenly-fought matches, no drama, and no suspense is a joke.\u00a0I want to make it clear that I&#8217;m a WWE supporter who believes in kayfabe and supporting the product that WWE puts out without going against the grain to appease himself, but I couldn&#8217;t be more disappointed with the house show in Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not my fault that WWE double-booked themselves.\u00a0I&#8217;ve supported WWE recently with their b.s. booking, but to present a card with such a lack of depth is insulting to a fan who&#8217;s supported wrestling for 20 years and sees the card in such a state is embarrassing. My friends and I\u00a0had to entertain ourselves for three\u00a0hours while the babayface favourites got themselves over in front of a 70 percent babyface audience.<\/p>\n<p>I sat with a friend who has never been to a wrestling show before, excited for him to witness how cool and exciting a wrestling show could be, only for him to fold his arms and laugh at how ridiculous the whole night was, as the wrestling was basic b.s. paint by numbers.\u00a0I&#8217;d like to see this as a turning point for me, but I know that people will continue to pour money into the product.\u00a0I love wrestling, true honest pro wrestling, but this was far from that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1790087450\"><div id=\"pwtor-1664997336\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE Live Show Results April 19, 2016 Manchester, England Report by Chris Fisher, PWTorch reader (1)\u00a0Cesaro beat\u00a0Stardust.
