No Way Out 2009 Review

No Way Out 2009 Review : WWE Logic is Confusing 


This was a pretty good ppv , so looking forward to reviewing it .

Undertaker vs Big Show vs Vladimir Kozlov vs Triple H vs Jeff Hardy vs Edge : Elimination Chamber
These chamber matches are always great ( except the ECW one ) . Hardy & Edge are starting things off . Hardy hits the twist of fate but misses the swanton . Edge goes for the spear but Hardy rolls him up and he is eliminated ! Woah ! That is huge . A new champ is guaranteed in this match . Kozlov out next and this will slow things down for sure . Finally someone else enters and its ... Big Show. Great more slow stuff . Hardy tries to fight back but Show takes him down . Kozlov takes down Show . Show returns the favor . And now HHH is in . Undertaker is now in and runs straight through everyone in sight . The last ride eliminates Kozlov . Amazing superplex to Show . Pedigree to show and then a Swanton from the top of the pod ! Show is out . Hardy eliminated with a tombstone . Tombstone and HHH puts his foot on the rope ! Pedigree to Taker and he kicks out ! This is amazing . HHH hits the pedigree again and gets the pin . A flat out awesome match . ****1/4

Edge is backstage , begging Vickie to start the match over again . She denies it .

Randy Orton vs Shane McMahon : No Holds Barred
Shane always seems to put on good matches when there's a gimmick involved . Lets see if tonight will be a good one . Just basically punching so far . Shane brings out the kendo stick and starts whacking away . Orton smashed in the head with the tv monitor from the announce table and blood pours from his head . Legacy comes out to attack Shane . Shane takes them both out . Cody goes coast to coast ! Shane goes for an elbow drop to Orton but misses and crashes through the announce table ! Shane superplexed through a table and kicks out ! Orton hits the RKO and wins . Overall a pretty good match . ***

Jack Swagger vs Finlay
Why don't they bring this title and show back to guys like Jack Swagger have something better to do ? Oh well , here we go . This has been pretty boring to watch . Swagger wins with a gutwrench powerbomb . Meh . 3/4*

Shawn Michaels vs JBL
I don't usually enjoy a JBL match , but if anyone can pull it off , HBK can . Shawn unloads his frustration straight onto JBL . Shawn trying his submission maneuvers . JBL drops a few elbow drops onto HBK . Shawn kicks out from a clothesline from hell . Heard a fan actually call JBL a piece of shit . That made me laugh . HBK wins with sweet chin music . Solid match . **1/4

Chris Jericho interviewed backstage and takes a shot at Ric Flair .

And now for the main event of the evening .

John Cena vs Mike Knox vs Kane vs Kofi Kingston Edge vs Rey Mysterio vs Chris Jericho : Elimination Chamber
Ok this was great for Edge's character but was really confusing . So because he entered a pod , he's suddenly officially part of the match that could have went to someone else ?? Logic WWE ! At least Y2J and Mysterio start off the match to make up for it . Rey just went head first into a pod ! Nasty ! Kane enters the match . 619 then a codebreaker to Kane ! Seated senton from the pod and Kane is out ! Mike Knox is in . Codebreaker to Knox and he is out . Edge is in next and Rey quickly unloads on him . Amazing sunset flip - german suplex from the top rope . And the World champ , Cena , is now in . And eliminated quickly ! That is huge . There will be another new world champ tonight . Jericho now eliminated and its down to Edge and Rey . So many nearfalls ! And a spear ends the match with Edge as the new champ . This match rocked ! Better than the first and that's saying something . ****1/2

This was a great PPV with two amazing matches and one good one . These matches take up most of the show so that's a positive .  I'll give it  8/10

TNA Sacrifice 2012 Review

TNA Sacrifice 2012 Review 


Haven't watched any TNA since I saw Impact live in January . This was on tv so i thought i'd do a review . Gotta admit i've kinda missed it .

Nice video package to start off . Here we go !

Kazarian & Christopher Daniels vs Samoa Joe & Magnus 
The tag team titles are on the line here . Wow Kararian's hair has sure changed since i last saw it . Nice fast paced action to start us off . Now we get the classic ' heels dominate the face ' which seems to happen in every tag match . Ends quickly as Joe is tagged in . Kazarian & Daniels win the tag titles . Good opener to get the crowd fired up . ***

Gail Kim vs Miss Tessmacher
Lets see if once again , the knockouts can prove they're better than the WWE divas ( couldn't be that hard anyway ) . Knockouts title on the line . Gail gets the cover while holding onto the ropes . Pretty solid match here . *3/4

Devon vs Robbie E vs Robbie T 
I do enjoy a triple threat match more than most i imagine . TV Title up for grabs . Did TNA copy WWE with this twitter trending thing ? Kinda sad if they did . This is more like a hanicap match rather than triple threat . T tries to go for a cover after the powerslam but E breaks it up . Looks like theres gonna be a fallout . Devon takes advantage and rolls up T for the win . This sucked . 1/2*

Jeff Hardy vs Mr Anderson 
Hardy walks with a limp down to the ring . That eyelid thing he's got going on is kinda creepy . Hardy takes the early advantage with some nice arm drags . Nice methodical match so far . Hardy hits Anderson with his own finisher . Anderson hits Hardy with a twist of fate . Anderson kicks out of the swanton ! Anderson manages to pin Hardy . Really good back and forth match . ***1/4 It looks like the ref made a mistake with the pin fall though .

We are shown the return of Abyss on Impact .

Crimson vs Eric Young 
Well this started off a bit strangely . Well this was weird to say the least . 1/2*

Austin Aries vs Bully Ray
Laughed at the chants of  'Pussy Ray ' . Fast paced action so far . My god Aries has a couple of nasty looking bruises on his back after hitting the guard rail . The action has now slowed down a bit . How the hell an he take these blows to his back ?! Couple of sick looking chops to Aries as Bully tells him to stay down . This match has told a great story . Aries keeps kicking out ! Brainbuster by Aries and Bully kicks out ! Aries makes Bully tap out . That was awesome . ****


AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle
Lets see if these two amazing wrestlers can follow that amazing match we just saw . I do think they have it in them . It seems obvious that the new tag team champs are gonna interfere at some point . Nice wrestling to start . Great match so far . Amazing springboard forearm to the outside by Styles . Awesome back and forth match here . And there's the interference i was talking about . Styles taps to the ankle lock . Great match ***3/4

Rob Van Dam vs Bobby Roode : Ladder Match
TNA World Title up in the air here (pun intended) . I do love me a ladder match . I've got to say , if this match wasn't taking place , this would still be a really good show . This could turn it into a great show . This was not as good as i thought it would be , but it was still pretty good . ***

7.5/10 This was a really good event with 4 ***+ matches and one **** match . Worth watching for sure .

Fatal 4 Way Review

Fatal 4 Way Review : Evan Bourne shows what he's got 


Kofi Kingston vs Drew McIntyre
I feel bad for Drew , he's a great wrestler but never gets a chance to show it . Tonight , however , he got that chance . These two had a good match at the previous PPV but didn't get enough time . They got that tonight . Good action so far with Drew showing his power . An amazing tornado DDT by Kofi ! Another amazing DDT ! I believe this was the second longest match of the night . Powerful powerbomb by Drew . Drew kicks out of the SOS ! Great match so far . Matt Hardy interferes and hits the twist of fate and trouble in paradise by Kofi ! 1-2-3 ! . Great match . ***1/4

Maryse vs Eve vs Alicia Fox vs Gail Kim
I'm sure this'll be over quickly . Hopefully anyway . Can they actually bring themselves to hire women WRESTLERS in a WRESTLING company ?? Can't wait til Kharma comes back . I might actually end up being interested . ' Daniel Bryan' chants are heard . At least Gail can actually wrestle but she was smart and left for TNA because the knockouts there can actually WRESTLE . Match sucked apart from Gail who barely saved it . 3/4*

Evan Bourne vs Chris Jericho
Split reaction here for these two , but that's to be expected since Jericho is such a legend . Evan with a huge splash to the outside on Jericho . Great match so far with back and forth action . Evan wins with an airbourne to Jericho for the upset ! This was such a great match and definitely match of the night . ***3/4

Jack Swagger vs CM Punk vs Big Show vs Rey Mysterio
This should be a good match . Even if it was obvious that Kane was going to interfere at some point . Really good match with Mysterio winning his second world championship . ***1/4

The Miz vs R-Truth 
Ok match here for the US Title . Bit boring at times though . *3/4

The Hart Dynasty vs The Usos
This would have been a better match if it had been built as a bigger deal . Solid . **1/2

John Cena vs Sheamus vs Edge vs Randy Orton
This was a really good match until the Nexus came and ruined the match , which seemed to be the main theme for the remainder of 2010 . This also gave Sheamus a cheap way of winning the WWE Championship . Surely they could have interfered after the match ? ***1/4

6.5/10
This was a good event with 3 title changes and a great match between Jericho and Bourne . This is worth watching in my opinion .

The Best of Saturday Night's Main Event DVD Review

The Best of Saturday Night's Main Event DVD Review .


This is my most recent WWE purchase and so thought i'd review it . It really isn't about the quality of the matches here , it's about how fun everything was .

Disc 1

Hulk Hogan vs ' Cowboy ' Bob Orton
The first ever SNME main event . Not much of a much but it was a lot of fun . *

We are shown the wedding of Uncle Elmer which looked funny and fun .

'Mr Wonderful ' Paul Orndorff  vs ' Rowdy ' Roddy Piper 
Really fast paced beginning with both guys pummeling each other . It's a shame the match ended so early and with a double count out as it was going really well . **1/4  Both guys fight to the back .

Gene Okerlund walks around a zoo with George ' Animal ' Steele . This was quite entertaining .

We are shown the WWE superstars in halloween costumes . This was quite strange to see . Although Miss Elizabeth did look hot in that cavegirl outfit . Savage you lucky duck !

Hulk Hogan vs Terry Funk
Nice to see Funk in a WWE Title match . This was a really fun match . **1/2

Randy Orton talks about how great it was to be Bob Ortons's son .

' Cowboy ' Bob Orton vs Mr T : Boxing Match
Bob takes a cheap shot to start . I've never seen the WM 2 boxing match so i look forward to reviewing that as well . Orton keeps taking cheap shots . Mr T wins with a count out . This was different and quite entertaining . Don't know how to review it though . N/R

Jake ' The Snake ' Roberts vs Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat 
The dragon vs the snake . This should be good . Nicely paced so far with a hot crowd . Steamboat wins with a crucifix . Great little match here . *** Everything is just fun on this dvd , which makes for a great viewing experience .

Jake Roberts talks about knocking out Steamboat . He also talks about his match with Savage being one of the best of his career .

Jake 'The Snake' Roberts vs 'Macho Man' Randy Savage
This should be a very good match here . Jake is quite underrated in my opinion . Both men are Disqualified at the end of a great match . This was a hell of a match . ***1/2

Hulk Hogan vs Paul Orndorff 
I've already reviewed this for the History of the WWE Championship dvd . I gave it ***

Battle Royal - March 14 1987
This starts straight away with everyone going for either Hogan or Andre . Honky Tonk eliminated by Hogan . Andre eliminates Haku also . Poffo was eliminated and busted open by Andre . He's bleeding really badly . This has been really entertaining so far . Andre eliminates Hogan ! This must have been huge at the time . Andre eliminated by the rest of the participants ! Hercules wins the match . Really good . ***

The Hart Foundation vs The British Bulldogs : 2 out of 3 Falls 
This should be great . I love both teams and Bret is my favourite wrestler . Everything goes out of control and the Bulldogs get the first fall with a DQ . Great action so far . The Bulldogs get a pinfall to win the match . This was an awesome match and a hell of a lot of fun . ***3/4

Randy Savage vs The Honky Tonk Man
This should be fun . A classic heel vs face match . The first part of the match ends as Jimmy Hart is knocked out and taken backstage . As we come back the Hart Foundation are at ringside with Honky . Hart Foundation double-team Savage on the outside . Savage hits the elbow drop but the Hart Foundation interfere and cause a DQ .  Very good match ***1/4 .  After the match Elizabeth tries to protect Savage and gets knocked down by Honky . This was unheard of at the time . Savage is whacked by the guitar and Hogan comes to help out Savage . The Mega Powers are formed . Historical .

Gene interviews the Madness and the Mania .

CM Punk and others talk about the Mega Powers forming being a fantastic moment .

Music Video for ' Piledriver ' . Ok this is just flat out weird to watch . Especially since Koko B. Ware is singing . Why do they all need to be wearing builder's outfits ?

Bret Hart vs Randy Savage
I've never seen this match before , so for me this is a dream match to say the least . Fast paced action so far . Nasty looking piledriver to Savage . The fans are hot for this match . This was a great match as Savage rolls up Bret for the win . ***1/2

Extras for Disc 1 :

Ricky Steamboat & U.S. Express vs The Iron Sheik , Nikolai Vokloff & George Steele 
This is here because it is the first match in SNME history . Should be a fun one . So far this has been a very exciting matchup . Good match . ***

We get the music video for ' Real American ' . Good song , but the parts with Hulk Hogan playing are kinda weird .

We also get an interview with the Junkyard Dog and his mother . Ok then .

Disc 2

Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy 
These two had a good cage match at WM 2 . Lets see if they can have another good one . After a solid beginning the match goes to a break as the referee is carried to the back after being injured . Hogan hits the leg drop and retains his title . Solid match . **1/2 All the faces come out to save Hogan from Andre .

Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant 
The most watched match in wrestling history . I've given this match * but it is very historical .

Ted Dibiase jr talks about his father winning the title .

Randy Savage vs Ted Dibiase
This was a great match here . The Million Dollar Man wins by a count out after Andre attacks Savage . Hogan comes out to clear them away . ***1/2

We are shown Jake Roberts chasing Andre with his snake .

Hulk Hogan vs Harley Race
This feels like another generic Hogan match . Hogan seems very frustrated in this match . Hogan wins with the leg drop . Solid match . **1/4 Well done to Race .

Randy Savage vs Andre The Giant 
World Wrestling Federation Championship on the line here . And Andre goes straight for Savage . Andre has been man-handling Savage so far . Jake Roberts comes out and this distracts Andre . A double DQ ends the match . Not much happened but it was fun . ** Roberts chases Andre out of the ring with Damien .

We are shown clips of a flag match that involved Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Boris Zuckoff .

The Honky Tonk Man vs The Ultimate Warrior
They actually let Warrior do an interview ? Wow , how is he not in a mental institution ? Well the match is starting now . Exciting fast paced match so far . Warrior gets the win with a big shoulderblock . Solid match . **1/2

We are shown the feud between Ron Bass and Brutus Beefcake , which ends with Bass getting a haircut .

The Mega Powers vs The Twin Towers
This is quite the historical match . Hogan fires up on both the Big Boss Man and Akeem . Hogan takes a big piledriver . Nice spinebuster to Hogan . Great crossbody to Akeem from Savage . The Macho Man takes a nasty spill right on top of Elizabeth who has been knocked out . Hogan carries Elizabeth to the back to get medical attention . Hogan could win an oscar for his acting performance . Better than any of his movies anyway . He runs back to the ring . Savage slaps Hogan in the face and leaves the ring . The Mega Powers have exploded . Hogan hits the leg drop and gets the pin . Good match and obviously historical . *** Hogan goes to the back to find Savage . Savage attacks Hogan with the belt and Randy is now once again a heel .

Hulk Hogan vs The Big Boss Man : Steel Cage
I think there's too much of Hogan on this DVD . Before the match Zeus attacks Hogan . I actually quite fancy that movie . WWF title is on the line here . I dont think there was any chance of BBM winning here . Amazing superplex from Hogan . Hogan wins by escaping . Very solid match . **3/4

The Rockers vs The Brainbusters : 2 out of 3 Falls
This should be a good one . The Rockers get the first fall with a sunset flip . Very fast paced so far . Brainbusters win the second fall . This has been an amazingly fun match . The Rockers win with a high crossbody . Great match . ***1/2


Extras for Disc 2 :

We get a Hulk Hogan interview where the Big Boss Man attacks him from behind . We also get one where Slick comes out when Hogan was supposed to . Hogan then comes out . Nothing much happens here .

For some random reason , they show the match where Sapphire's debut . I barely even remember her .

Dusty Rhodes vs The Big Boss Man 
Just here to show Sapphire's debut . How did Dusty Rhodes get saddled with such a bad gimmick ? Dusty rolls up BBM and gets the win . Not a very good match . 1/2*

Disc 3

Gene interviews Mr Perfect and Lanny Poffo . Perfect is smashing up the WWF belt with a hammer . More interviews with Mr Perfect and the Genius .

Hulk Hogan & The Ultimate Warrior vs The Genius & Mr Perfect
This should be fun . Hogan cleans house to start with . Wow Perfect is a great seller . Perfect hits the perfectplex and for some reason stops the pin . Warrior tagged in and goes crazy . The Ultimate Maniacs win the match . Fun match . ***

Jerry Lawler and others talk about Jesse Ventura & Vince McMahon coming in on horses .

Mr Perfect vs Hulk Hogan 
I think this should be a pretty good match . Actually its another generic Hogan match . Hogan wins with the leg drop . **1/2

The Rockers vs Hart Foundation 
I love this match . It may not have a clean ending , but everything before that was amazing . Just an amazing back and forth match . This ends in a double DQ thanks to Demolition , but this is easily a **** match and is worth watching many times .

Tito Santana vs Mr Perfect 
This could be good . A very exciting match thus far . So many nearfalls ! What a match ! Perfect gets the roll up for the win . Awesome match . ***3/4

We're shown Oktoberfest at SNME . I sniggered at the Genius being called a sausage stuffer .

Battle Royal
20 men in this one . Nice to have the Macho Man on commentary . This was a fun battle royal . Mr Perfect wins the match . Very hot crowd . **3/4

Bret Hart vs Ted Dibiase
Two great athletes here . This is an amazingly fast paced match so far . Roddy Piper came down to the ring to try and get Sherri out of there . He chases her out of the arena . The match ends in a double count out . A really good match here . ***1/4

Hulk Hogan & Sid Justice vs Ric Flair & Undertaker
Sid and Flair start off . Later on in the match , Sid shows signs of a heel turn when he doesnt help Hogan . This has been a pretty good match so far . Sid walks out on Hogan . I'm guessing this is what led to the WM 8 main event . Flair and Undertaker are DQ'd . **1/2

We are shown clips of The Mountie vs Roddy Piper for the IC title .

Shawn Michaels vs The British Bulldog
Now this should be a great match . Bulldog shows his amazing strength by picking up HBK with one arm . This is such a fantastic match between these two excellent athletes . Shawn wins the IC Title by reversing a superplex into a crossbody . Great great match ! ****

SNME returned 13 years later in March of 2006 .

Shawn Michaels vs Shane McMahon : Street Fight
So you have the showstopper and a man that performs well in gimmick matches . This should be good . HBK runs straight up the ramp to attack Shane . It starts violently with a chair shot and a table and ladder being brough out . Holy Shit !  Shane superplexed off a ladder through two tables on the outside ! Shane goes for a cover after hitting HBK with a ladder but only gets two . Great tornado DDT to HBK . Shane goes for coast to coast but misses and hits Vince . Shane puts the sharpshooter on Shawn and Vince tells the bell keeper to ring the bell . Good match . ***

Randy Orton talks about RKO-ing Hulk Hogan

DX vs The Spirit Squad - 5 on 2 Handicap Elimination Match
If someone is eliminated in this match they need to go into a cage so they do not interfere . Sounds like something from WCW . The one called Mitch has been eliminated by a sweet chin music . And Johnny has been eliminated by a HHH spinebuster . Vince comes out and whacks Shawn with a steel chair . Another one eliminated with a pedigree . And a sweet chin music eliminates another . The DX special takes out the last guy . DX win . Entertaining little match here . *

John Cena vs Edge
Seems like an appropriate match to end the set with . This is for the WWE Championship . Edge tries to leave but Cena brings him back to the ring . Cena hits the F-U but Lita pulls the ref out . Cena locks in the STFU but Lita gets Edge DQ'd . This match wasn't very good at all . 1/2*  Edge spears Cena . Cena hits Edge with a TV monitor . Cena gives Edge an F-U through the announce table !

Extras from Disc 3 :

Alfred Hayes and Gene Okerlund go on a safari . Koko B. Ware is there trying to find a mate for his parrot . Jake Roberts is also there with Damien . The Bushwhackers also appear . Got to give it to Gene for doing things like this .

Shawn Michaels also talks about winning his first Intercontinental Championship .

Matt Hardy talks about facing Evander Holyfield in a boxing match . This is quite cool to watch .

I'll give this set 8.5/10 . You definitely get your moneys worth here , with an astounding 33 matches ! This includes a lot of interviews and vignettes . Highly Recommended . Glad i finally finished it !

Capitol Punishment Review

Capitol Punishment Review : Obama was there ! ( Not really )


Thought i'd do this PPV since it was in the spot where the latest No Way Out takes place . I'll also do the 2010 Fatal 4 Way PPV , and as many No Way Out PPVs as possible .

Kofi Kingston vs Dolph Ziggler
Thought i'd start using bold so the match itself stands out . These two can always give us a great opener when they need to . This match has been great so far with many counters and a few nearfalls . Dolph wins by knocking out Kofi i think . It seemed a little botched though . Great match anyway . ***1/4

R-Truth arrives holding Cena's WWE Title which i assume he stole . Good god he was hilarious as a heel .

Miz is interviewed by Todd Grisham . Ok promo .

Alex Riley vs The Miz 
Seemed early for this match to go on , oh well . This was the only real push Riley received and he went nowhere , so it only served to send Miz downhill . At least the match is pretty good . Riley gets the upset with an impaler DDT . Good match . ***

Hey Sgt. Slaughter is here ! With a really crappy Obama impersonator who looks like he's wearing lipstick .

The Big Show vs Alberto Del Rio
Was it really necessary to recap the story here ? Basically Ricardo hit Show with a car and showed Kane as a caring person which was disturbing and not in the fun way . Del Rio enters and Big Show doesn't even give him a chance to get to the ring . Mark Henry interferes before the bell even rings and gives Show a slam through the announce table . Not much of a match since Big Show has been injured by Henry . 1/2*

Another R-Truth backstage segment . Not much happening in this one .

Interview with Wade Barrett backstage . Quite good actually since he takes the mic and just rolls with it . He takes it straight into his match .

Wade Barrett vs Ezekiel Jackson
Oh great another match between the two . The Over The Limit match sucked and i'm sure this will too . Poor Wade . No pop for Zeke i notice . A ' we want Ryder '  chant starts . I miss when fans cared about him . Back to the match and it is very slow . Wade's trying his best but Zeke is just bad . Why did the hell did he have to win ?? I thought the Intercontinental champion was supposed to be the best performer ,  not the worst . 1/2* He even screws up the aftermatch interview !

Another crappy Obama segment .

CM Punk vs Rey Mysterio
Needless to say , i'm really looking forward to this match . These guys have great matches together . This match wasn't as good as some of their previous encounters , but was still pretty damn great . Best match on the show . Punk wins by reversing a 619 into a GTS .  ***3/4

I just realised every match on this PPV is a singles match with no special stipulations or anything like that . Pretty generic i suppose .

Randy Orton vs Christian 
Their match at Over The Limit was ****1/4 . Lets see if this can live up to it . These guys have crazy chemistry together . Not as good as their OTL match but it's still a great match that is worth watching . These guys can't have a bad match ! Orton wins with an RKO even though Christian's foot was under the rope . ***1/2

Some guy named Keith Stone comes out , and i really couldn't give a damn about beer .

Evan Bourne vs Jack Swagger
This is our 'bonus attraction' of the night . That must piss off American fans , who i've heard have to pay $55 for every PPV . Over here we pay £15 which is roughly $25 . And sometimes (Over The Limit 2012 for example) for free ! Sorry guys . Anyway , these guys are giving us a pretty good match here . So this is PG and that Stone guy is drinking a beer . Nice logic WWE ! This crowd really sucks tonight . Awesome tornado DDT by Evan . Bourne rolls Jack up and gets the three-count . Nice solid match even if the crowd was dead . **3/4

Oh god , please stop with this stupid Obama impersonator !! I refuse to even watch this so i ain't gonna review it .

And now to the main event :

John Cena vs R-Truth
These two don't really have a lot of chemistry together . A child fan throws water on Truth and Cena takes advantage with an AA to get the 1-2-3 . Solid match **1/2

6/10 . Solid event here with 4 matches worth watching but with a lot of crap and filler put in for some insane reason .

Over The Limit 2012 Review

Over The Limit 2012 Review : Punk & Bryan steal the show .


The night starts off straight away during a battle royal to determine the No. 1 contender for either the Intercontinental or US Titles .

Battle Royal
The camera shows that Christian is back . He is apparently a face now . Thanks for telling us WWE ! Anyway it's going like a normal battle royal , but the ending was great and exciting with Christian picking up the win . Good stuff . **1/4

And now here are the fireworks to show that the show has officially started now .

Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger
I was expecting this match to be good but what we got was great . Just a classic-style tag match with Kofi
stealing the show and retaining the titles . ***1/4

Layla vs Beth Phoenix
This was slow to start with , but really got good with the finishing stretch . Really good for a divas match , and now we just need Kharma . **


Sheamus vs Chris Jericho vs Alberto Del Rio vs Randy Orton
This was another slow starter but quickly picked up the pace and kept me guessing as to what was going to happen . At one point i thought Orton would win , and at another point Jericho . Just a great match for the World Title . ***3/4

Brodus Clay vs The Miz
I feel really bad for the Miz . He's not done anything since December and he's losing to this big tub of lard . Not good . *

Cody Rhodes vs Christian
This was disappointing considering the level of talent involved in it . I was really surprised with Christian winning the title . I was so sure that Rhodes would retain here . *1/2

CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan
The match we'd all been waiting for . This was just amazing , with both these guys putting on a great performance . Apparently the match lasted for 25 minutes but for me it felt like 15 as the match just whizzed by . This is what we want WWE ! After a spectacular showing , Punk is able to roll Bryan up for a three count . ****1/2

Ryback vs Camacho
Please get him someone real to fight ! SQUASH

John Cena vs John Laurinaitis
I actually found this to be quite entertaining . Although the Big Show heel turn was quite predictable . 1/2*

6.5/10 Watch the two World title matches and the tag match , then leave it at that .
