To begin, let's congratulate WWE for successfully putting up a television show on a weekly basis for the last twenty-five years. That is certainly no mean feat. A round of applause to all the performers on screen and the key figures backstage. You are awesome!

As for this week's episode, there's no way one can call it a weak show. With everything that we were offered, it was a delight to watch. However, the show was far from perfect, and we will ponder as to why that was the case, on this list.

Anyone who's followed our post-show 'Best and Worst' recaps for any length of time knows how much we value your comments. Be sure to leave your thoughts in the section right below.

Let's cast our mind back over the last four hours (including the pre-show), and detail what worked and what aspects did not connect with us.


#1 Best: A super hot start

When Vince McMahon first came to the arena, everyone was on their feet saluting the determination and gusto of the man, for entertaining us for so many years. In a matter of moments, the master heel would turn the audience against himself, with a great promo.

Everyone knew what was coming next. Stone Cold came out and stunned his former employer. For good measure, he even stunned Vince McMahon's son!

There couldn't have been a better way to start the show. The crowd was absolutely ecstatic at that point.

Sadly, thereafter, the momentum began to wane.
