Somehow, the Kickoff show did not do justice to the main show at all. Shawn Michaels read the names of the Survivor Series team for NXT out of order, and it was hilarious to see him reading names with the wrong graphics appearing on the screen.
And then Charly Caruso said that the first point had gone to NXT when it was actually SmackDown who had won the first match of the said night. I'm sure my colleague Phillipa Marie will bring more botches to light very soon.

Everything in WWE is so choreographed and precise that such botches stand out and leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth. Also, do you guys think that WWE needs to do a 2-hour long Kickoff show when the show itself is so very long?
Brevity may be the name of the game and this is something every wrestling promotion needs to learn.
