You literally cannot underestimate the importance of Michael Cole apologising prior to the Ultimate Deletion Match. I'm absolutely dumbfounded by it. By him saying that, purposely and instantly makes the watching audience at home feel like they shouldn't be enjoying it, it's telling them that it's embarrassing, and it's patronising towards everything Matt has worked to. It almost plants a seed in the back of the viewers mind that it's just stupid, and not enjoyable. Anyways, in regards to the match itself, it wasn't anywhere near as creative as the previous versions have been. This was a perfect chance to throw in some comical WWE nostalgia, have Husky Harris appear from the Lake for a minute or two, have Lita do a cheesy segment etc. Nothing they did hadn't already been done in the TNA versions, and the budget and creativity in those previous ones were ramped up to a whole different scale. This was essentially just a hardcore match in the dark at his house, with one or two short comical moments. I'm not sure what's next for Bray, I'm hoping he's Broken, but hopefully this means it's not the end for Woken Matt, especially now that the Broken Universe has finally been introduced. The Michael Cole thing is nothing new. Watch the very first season of NXT withe the pros and rookies. I'm pretty sure Cole was told to say that line.

The one thing that annoyed me was when they had Michael Cole mock the match before it had even started.

This is the worst Michael Cole has been in years. How stupid do you seriously have to be to apologize in advance for a segment that MAINEVENTS Raw?! I mean even if Vince himself told him to do that, why would Vince apologize for something if he gives it green light to air on Raw??? After all he wasn't forced to let that glorious segment main event a Raw! Maybe Matt has it in his contract that they will do a 'Deletion Hardy Compount' segment before WM, but if Vince thinks it sucks SO BAD that he needs to apologize for it in advance... why even bother airing it last and make it 20 minutes?? God, sometimes I just HATE Vince. Sorry for the rant but stuff like that just pisses me off. Don't blame Cole, he was simply following orders.

Doesnt look like Vince's plan to get Reigns cheered and Lesnar booed is working at all.

In fairness I didnβt hear Cole apologize as I had fast forwarded through the commercials and when I stopped the segment had already started and all I will say is I thought the WrestleMania match last year with Orton was bad, but what I just sat through now made last years match look like a 5* match of the year winner. I didnβt need to hear an apology to know that was pure garbage. And I have never said that about any wrestling match ever.

Yes, the thing that got the Hardyz resigned to WWE was a favor that WWE promised to Matt to get him to re sign. WWE goes out of their way to get Jeremy Borash, spends a ton of money producing Ultimate Deletion, and puts it in the main event of Raw with 3 weeks till Mania as a favor to Matt Hardy. Jeezus, do you hear yourself? What does Borash have to do with any of this?? Hardys got resigned because they gained a lot of wrestling media attention... for something that most people will still find dumb. But it's business. If you haven't noticed, WWE is aggressively raiding all of it's competition. And saying that a ton of money was spent producing Ultimate Deletion... well... no. That had to be one of the cheapest things to produce ever. They hired Borash because he had a big hand in the originals. Do some research. And saying a ton of money is a little much i guess, but sending a camera crew and special fx to a single stars home especially at Mattβs current level is not something Vince would normally do.

That was by far the best Raw main event in years. Ultimate deletion was refreshing and something different. Far better than the usual crap we get weekly.
