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 .
