There was a solid to good match between Randy Orton And Antonio Cesaro, but the real reason i'm mentioning the show is because of the 2nd match that took place, specifically the commentary that accompanied it.
If you weren't sold on Brad Maddox before, and i was on the fence, he snuck in to do guest commentary with Michael Cole, and it's the best guest commentary surprise since Titus O'Niel. I'd easily say it's better.
Funny, quirky, useless bits of incorrect factoids in the best ways possible. The guy is gold. He made me a fan, and i throw it up here so that this little hidden nugget can get a little love.
Three oinkers wearing pants, a plate of hot air, a basket of grandma's breakfast and change a bull to a gill, got it.
Sometimes all it takes to find a good slot for somebody, is just trying them out in that slot. Thanks for the contribution.

If I Brogue Kick that small little head of yours over the top rope, and your body stays in the ring, tell me, fella, does that count as an elimination?" --Sheamus, to Randy Orton, SmackDown 1/4/13

Favourites for me were his utter apathy when Cole finally got him to call the action, "wowzers" and his fake commercial break send off, and banter during it.
But the best for me was the utterly insane, which is perfectly in sync with my humour, "This match brought to you by Wrestlemania XIII and homemade submarine race! Where the homemade submarine race begins......again!"
I can't describe how fun it was to hear this type of irreverent wackiness get on my wrestling show :)

Please re-evaluate this statement.
I'm serious. I loved his commentary; he has a fun, douchebag weasel character that's annoying but relatively entertaining, and he can take bumps. My wife thinks he's cute, too.
So while he's not as great as Team Hell No and Dr. Shelby, or Cody's Moustache...I still think he's a great addition to the shows.
