I hear it was awful, anyone got anything to change my mind or can I give it a miss?

I'd say skip the first half of the show, start from New Day v Usos

Considering how awful smackdown has been recently, I thought it was a decent PPV - nowt special, but the matches were all solid grappling (well bar the women's tag nonsense)

I’d skip all of it except the main event, which in itself wasn’t a good match but watchable.

I enjoyed all of it barring the women's tag match.

Sami, Shane and KO triple threat for Mania?

I didn't watch it but Shane seems to be getting some major flak. He appears to be bypassing Stephanie in the hate race. I'm one of the few that actually likes Steph!

I'm not sure I get the Shane/KO thing.

It's like they're trying to do the Austin/Vince thing again but as if Vince were the babyface. Never going to work out like that. As a result the fans are split.

Triple threat would be a bizarre way of settling that feud.

Shane himself hasn't been too bad in this, it is just the story is not great, has stretched too long and the only interesting outcome would involve Bryan returning, and he isn't.

Im not sure what exactly the match is though

And obviously there has to be one at mania, this is the main SD feud and has been for ages now

Sami/KO v Shane + a partner seems the best way to save it, especially as Shane individually cost Sami and KO the title.

Or Shane brings in a tag team of his own and it goes like Sami/KO w/Daniel Bryan v [tag team from NXT or something] w/Shane for full control of SD
