Pros: I like how WWE the company kicked-off the New Year with a new PPV (Pay-Per-View) set on new year’s day. My favourite wrestlers on this night were Brock Lesnar, Edge & Drew McIntyre. A lot of build-up for the Royal Rumble from some of the key moments on this event & my favourite match on the show was a single match between Edge and The Miz.
Cons: They didn’t show a lot of the post match interviews that much on this event. The hosts on the Kickoff didn’t impress me that much. The energy from the crowd was half-assed & after I watched this event I felt not that satisfied.
