– ESPN has dropped their WrestlePalooza review, and they aren’t happy.
“The excellent Vaquer vs. Sky match saved this show from being truly average.”
“Everything else was underwhelming.”
“For a card that promised to have epic moments, it fell a little short of expectations.”

– CM Punk was asked if Seth Rollins is getting up on there on his list of all time rivals for himself:
“I’ve had some pretty big rivals in my time, but this is just one that feels different to me. I don’t know how big or small it is. It feels like it is never going to end. Like, I don’t ever want to tag with the guy. I don’t want to go out to dinner with him. I don’t care what he does when the camera’s off. I just… it’s a rivalry, l’ll put it that way.”

I thought that Stephanie Vaquer vs. Iyo Sky was great as well. Plus, I enjoyed the tag team bouts–the Usos vs. the Vision and Rollins/Becky vs. Punk/AJ–at Wrestlepalooza. It’s only the opener and closer that were average, not the rest of the show itself.
