It was very bad. There were some cool spots in the main event, but at the end of the day, it took a handicap match for Chris Jericho to beat Roman Reigns for a singles title, and his partner was the Universal Champion, and everyone in the ring looked weaker because of it.

EDIT: This video is cool, though. "I'm the Great JeriKhali."

I liked the little dig at The Revival at the end.

Nah, his last title reign was during the Invasion ending with him dropping it to Jericho when he beat Austin and Rock on the same night.

I'd assume they're more concerned with having more original content for the Network and snuffing out growing UK promotions rather than aiming specifically for this tournament to drive Network subs. It's a two-day, online-only tournament with very few household names that aired in the afternoon and overlapped with playoff football. If they thought that would drive a significant amount of people to pay for a month of the Network, they'd be sorely mistaken.

People do live in the United Kingdom btw

Triple H just really wanted to visit Blackpool.

Do have the scoop for how many times he went on the Big Dipper?

No poo poo, what I'm saying is of the 1.5m or whatever subs they have, my guess is their goal isn't moving the needle on the number of Network subs, which it likely won't do. I doubt it'd be labelled a failure if it doesn't move many subscriptions, and that snuffing out rival promotions and shoring up the overall umbrella of "original content" are bigger goals at this point in their drive to capitalize on the UK.

75% of Network subs are in the US, that's why I brought up US-centric sports re: viewership numbers.

Yeah, and you can't possibly fathom that introducing another show in another region coupled with a media blitz over there might be an attempt to get new subscribers there?
