for anything and that includes pro wrestling.\u00a0 What an amazing venue and a great crowd!\u00a0 This show itself was better than Round 1 on YouTube which is what I was hoping for.\u00a0 Gibson looked great here as the heel and his performance was believable.\u00a0 The problem was, I never really understood why Gibson was a heel.\u00a0 None of the characters were fleshed out very well throughout Round 1 and this show.\u00a0 Similar to Round 1, most of these matches suffered from almost no time.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re going to rely on character to carry the tournament and the show, which is the calling card of the WWE, at least help your audience to understand the characters and their motivations more through promos and\/or vignettes.\u00a0 The final match between Gibson and Banks was a decent enough match but someone needs to give Mauro Ranallo a raise because he took an otherwise decent, mostly storydriven match (Banks has an injured shoulder) and turned it into something really entertaining.\u00a0 Also, the 6-Man tag featuring Undisputed Era vs British Strong Style is really fun and worth going out of your way to check out if you are a network subscriber.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll have more opinion and analysis of the entire tournament in audio form tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>Follow me on Twitter @UrsinDeRoche<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>READ ABOUT THE
