Is this kind of fun for the hotness of the crowd, or are my pain meds and the euphoria of how awesome this is just talking?

The crowd definitely made it. The crowd and all the guest stars.

Ok if there's a random rear end dark match in the background while this show goes on I'll be way more entertained.

edit: oh, it's Superstars

I guess we're just watching Superstars then. I don't do that now, don't know why I'd start.

Okay, they just need to work the kinks out in this format. I can get behind a look into what's going on Superstars if it's at all interesting but if they're just going to cut in and out randomly that sucks worse than just calling Superstars a preshow.

Liberace and the Rockettes introducing the main event- I can't help but feel wrestling has lost something.

The whole atmosphere is pretty different and incredible. The crowd shots, and how close everyone is when Hulk and Mr. T enter the ring, especially.
