    That's what they said. Bell rang before the kiss.

    Only other thing I can think of is that Bryan was hurt going in.

    I was OK with the quick finish too. If you want to sell the big moves as being so devastating that they can end a match at any time, it helps if you don't always have it happen at the same point in every match. It also lends a little realism to the affair, like a big MMA or boxing match that gets months of hype and ends 40 seconds in with a massive KO punch.

    I liked it when they had *mumblemumble* beat Orlando Jordan for the US tittle in 23 seconds a few years ago.

    We can only hope. I was seriously looking forward to that match. I consider Bryan and Sheamus to be two of the best that WWE has right now. For the money I paid to order this show, I would have liked to see an actual match than watch Bryan parade around the ring then to get his head taken off.

    It seems like Randy Orton looks thinner than he usually does and not as cut

    Not happy so far. Wasn't impressed by that match either.

    I think people will be upset because it was THOSE two guys. That was a sleeper match for a lot of folks that they were expecting to be really good, and instead it's over in 18 seconds.

    That was about what I was expecting. Not 5-star certainly, but not abysmal. Solid match between two veterans, with some decent physical spots and a bit of a surprising finish. I even liked Kane's finisher. It was the equivalent of a good bench player in the NBA who gives you 10-15 solid minutes every night.

    Now if this one goes 18 seconds, I'm REALLY going to be pissed.

    Does this make Show a Grand Slam Champion?
