Solid show. Did what they had to do, which was cement the personal feuds amidst the invasion so that the PPV match-ups make sense and have some sort of heat. My jaw hit the floor when they wheeled Freddie out. My brother kept asking, "who is that? who is that?", and I just kept telling him to shut up so I could hear him.
