A video package recapped the WWE Draft…The announce team hyped the Harts for later…[C]

Shore's Slant: The whole commentary was tongue-in-cheek tit and ass jokes from King and Cole. You had two women in the ring who are fair to good at what they do, and you get King salivating like a rapist. What a waste of time for these women.

[Q2] Back from commercial…damn. Back from commercial, Zack Ryder made his entrance with Rosa Mendes. Wait, aren't they on different brands now? Primo was out next…

[Q3] The announce team hyped the Hart Dynasty for the main event…[C]

Shore's Slant: A fun match. Ryder's learned a lot since his gimmick change, and Primo still shows why he should be used more. I grow tired of the current Ryder gimmick, but I also admit that it has always annoyed me. I'm glad they got good time too, even if the live crowd was kind of bored at the end.

Back from commercial, a video package recapped Triple H vs. Sheamus at Extreme Rules…Back ringside, Todd Grisham and Matt Striker took over on commentary. They narrated a video that recapped the Hart's winning the tag titles and Big Show knocking out Miz. The Hart Dynasty made their entrance to a crazy pop…

Shore's Slant: Wow. The crowd was super hot for the Harts. I hope that wasn't piped in.

Shore's Slant: That was an OK match. I don't hate on Dudebusters because they suck in the ring, I hate on them because they suck at life. Nevertheless, they did a good job getting beat here, even if it was obvious who was going to win. I'll have more to say tomorrow on the hitlist. Thanks for reading and I will see you them.
