WWE Over the Limit 2012 Results: Big Show's Interference Was Weak End to Event

Seriously, WWE? That's how you decided to end the main event at Over the Limit?

You decided to let John Cena dominate the majority of the match, allowed John Laurinaitis to attempt an escape, have the recently fired Big Show usher him back into the ring then turn heel and knock out Cena, all of which allowed Laurinaitis to win the match?

You're better than that, WWE.

Now, don't get me wrong—I know why you did it. You obviously weren't going to have one of the company's definitive heels lose his reign as general manager of SmackDown, but you also couldn't allow a face like Cena to lose in a straight-up match to a guy like Laurinaitis.

Obviously, interference was the logical solution to that little pickle, or at least the pickle you created for intrigue.

However, the match itself was never much more than a comedy routine throughout, a contrast to some of the more intense and solid bouts that preceded it.

Couldn't you have at least drawn out the Big Show betrayal a little bit more?

What if instead of bringing Laurinaitis back to the ring, Show came out from the crowd at the height of Cena humiliating Laurinaitis and acted as though he was going to join the beatdown, only to turn on Cena and prompt a savage beating of the superstar?

Perhaps Show could hesitate, only for Laurinaitis to ask him if he wanted back in, testing his loyalty.

I'm not saying the above would have been amazing or anything, but clearly they could have done more with this match.

It was a clever enough set-up, but the execution was what bothered me. It felt like a throwaway to garner some interest, but was a match the creative team never actually took seriously since they had carefully set up an out with the Big Show's interference.

That's not cool for a pay-per-view, especially when people pay good money to tune in. Fans deserve more than that, and frankly, so does John Cena's character. What a lame main event for him.

You always want to go out on a big note. Instead, Over the Limit went out with a whimper.

You're better than that, WWE, and you know it.
