Bragging Rights 2010 Review

Bragging Rights 2010 Review : Bryan & Ziggler Steal a Bad Show

Time for another 2010 review .


Daniel Bryan vs Dolph Ziggler
The theme of this PPV was Smackdown vs Raw , so this was the IC Champ vs US Champ . This was the only match worth mentioning on this night . This was just such a great technical match and the perfect opener for the night . Bryan makes Ziggler submit with the labelle lock . A modern day classic and easily match of the night . ****1/4

Drew McIntyre & Cody Rhodes vs John Cena & David Otunga
Tag titles on the line . Drew and Cody had to job here to further the Nexus angle . This was basically a handicap match with Cena doing all the work . Cena makes Cody submit to win the match . *1/2

Ted Dibiase vs Goldust
These guys were fighting over the million dollar championship even though it has no meaning and Goldust only wanted it because it was gold . Actually not a bad match and Goldust looked great in there . Ted wins with a DDT . **1/2

Natalya vs Layla
Time for the divas portion of the evening . Thank god for Natalya . Ok for a divas match I suppose . Layla wins after Michelle gives Natalya a kick to the head . 3/4*

Kane vs Undertaker : Buried Alive Match
I know the matches weren't that good , but I always loved the feud between these two . That being said this is probably the worst match that the two have had with each other . It's amazing how many of his own type of matches Taker has been defeated in . You think he would have learned his lesson by now . It was all just puching , kicking and chair shots . What makes this worse is that Nexus helped Kane bury Undertaker and then it was never mentioned again . No revenge or anything . Pointless . 1/2*

Smackdown vs Raw Elimination Match
I won't bother naming the participants as there are a lot of them . The winning team gets the trophy for their respective brand . Tyler Reks quickly eliminates Santino with his finisher . Sheamus eliminates Kofi with the high cross . Something felt missing from this match . Morrison eliminates Swagger with starship pain . Sheamus puts Tyler out with a brogue kick . Big Show and Sheamus are both eliminated by count out . Edge puts Truth out with a spear . He also eliminates Morrison with a spear . Del Rio is eliminated with a backslide from Punk . Punk eliminated with a 619 . Jackson is eliminated with a botched 619 . Edge wins the match with a spear to Miz . ***1/4

Wade Barrett vs Randy Orton
Barrett ordered Cena to help him win the match or he would be fired . Cena did help Barrett win the match , but by disqualification . The fact the PPV ended on a DQ made it suck even more . The match was ok up until the end . **

4/10 . Disappointing after the Bragging Rights the year before . One amazing match and one really good match help , but the rest is a whole lot of nothing .
