ECW One Night Stand 2006 Review

ECW One Night Stand 2006 Review


Here we are, the show that would come before the resurrection of ECW. It was different from the previous year, as that only contained former ECW wrestlers, whereas this was more like WWE vs ECW. One show better than a whole invasion. Lets get started.



Paul Heyman comes out to give his appreciation to the amazing ECW fans.



Tazz vs Jerry Lawler
The fans really didn't like Lawler here, especially after slapping Joey Styles. This match only lasted around 20 seconds, with Lawler immediately passing out from the tazmission. Fun way to start off the show though. 1/4*



Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton
The fans made this one a lot of fun, as they loudly cheered for all of Angle's wrestling holds, and loudly booed Orton with chants of 'pussy'. I would say this is Angle's last great WWE PPV match. An awesome back and forth contest that got the show off to it's real fiery beginning. Great stuff as Orton taps to the angle lock. ***3/4



F.B.I. vs Tajiri & Super Crazy
Three of these guys had a three way dance at the previous ONS event. Tajiri gets a big 'welcome back' chant from the fans. You could see that everyone in this match was having a lot of fun. Some nice submission moves in this one. Very entertaining tag match. Tajiri is pinned by a double fisherman's suplex to end it. ***1/2



Rey Mysterio vs Sabu
The World Championship is on the line. I'm not sure if these two fought in the original ECW. If not then it's sort of a dream match. This might have been Sabu's only shot at a WWE world title. Nice high flying moves in this one. It was going really well up until it was ruled a no contest thanks to the DDT through the table and the fans hated that ruling. Bullshit indeed. Good match though. ***1/4



Edge / Mick Foley / Lita vs Tommy Dreamer / Terry Funk / Beulah
I would call this the best match of the ONS PPVs, with only Awesome/Tanaka coming close. It's amazing to see a 60 year old Terry Funk in such a violent, brutal, bloody match. This is such an amazing match and the ECW crowd only makes it better. Absolutely insane and Edge is at his sleazy best as he spears Beulah and gives her a sexualised pin. ****1/4



Balls Mahoney vs Masato Tanaka
I still wonder at what makes Balls's chair more powerful than any other steel chair. This one felt more like a filler match, which is a step down for Tanaka after his awesome match the previous year. Short but entertaining match. *1/2



John Cena vs Rob Van Dam
WWE Title on the line. Well the fans absolutely loved Cena here as they gave him gifts of toilet paper and wouldn't accept his shirt because they thought themselves unworthy of it. Just kidding, I don't want to be killed in my sleep. Very good match here, made great by the fans and the fact that RVD managed to win the title for the first time in his career. Great way to end the show. ***3/4



9/10. Fantastic show here, and just as good as the previous year. Lots of fun to be had here with an amazing crowd and great wrestling. You have five matches over three stars and one of them is over four stars. That, to me, marks a brilliant show. If you haven't seen it, get it now.

Mick Foley's Greatest Hits and Misses DVD Review

Mick Foley's Greatest Hits and Misses DVD Review


Mick's got a new DVD coming out pretty soon, so I thought I'd review this one.



Disc 1 :



Cactus Jack vs Vader
Apparently this match was very controversial at the time, because it contained Foley bleeding and WCW's policy at that time was 'no blood'. This one was pretty damn stiff. Foley managed to get the fans into this. Good match and unique since you didn't usually see this kind of match in WCW at the time. ***1/4



Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne vs The Nasty Boys : Chicago Street Fight
From Spring Stampede 1994. This took place just after Mick had lost his right ear in a match. I've heard good things about this match so it should be good. Man this one went all over the place. Tremendous match here, and probably pretty epic for it's time. Nasty Boys manage to pin Cactus to retain their titles. ****



Cactus Jack vs Sabu
I think this was a dream match at the time, with the sickest wrestler of WCW going up against the most hardcore wrestler of ECW. Fans considered it a disappointment. I just don't think it was as hardcore as people were expecting, but that doesn't mean it's not a good match. Paul Heyman interferes to give Sabu the win. ***1/4



Cactus Jack vs Chris Candido
This took place in Smoky Mountain Wrestling. These two worked with each other quite a lot in SMW. Sunny was Candido's manager at this point. I guess there are no rules in this one, since Chris hit Jack with a crutch with no DQ. Good little match as Cactus hits the double arm DDT for the win. ***



Cactus Jack vs Sandman : Texas Death Match
Mick says he knew that this wasn't a good match when he picked it for this set. This is pretty much like a Last Man Standing match. Sandman had been knocked silly and didn't know where he was, and so kept getting up when he wasn't supposed to. Foley was pretty frustrated. I'll give it *3/4.




Cactus Jack & Raven vs Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer
This was the follow up to the match that had Terry set on fire and received third degree burns because of it. This might just be the very definition of a garbage match with lots of different weapons being used, including a shopping trolley. A pretty chaotic match, but it was fun.



Cactus Jack vs Mikey Whipwreck
Former tag team partners and champions going at it. Foley calls this his personal favourite moment of his career. This was Foley's final match in ECW. The crowd really respected Foley. Great match for Cactus to end his ECW career with. Cactus wins with a piledriver on a chair. ****



Disc 1 Extras :


Cactus Jack vs Sting : Falls Count Anywhere
I've been looking forward to watching this match for a while now, because it seems to get a lot of praise wherever it goes. The sunset flip off the apron was damn cool. The intensity and heat for this was off the charts and it made both guys look great. Sting hits a big flying clothesline to win. ****



Cactus Jack vs Sabu
This was Foley's debut after leaving from WCW. This is also the rematch with Sabu. Sabu takes a really bad bump on the rails and might have broken some ribs. The match wasn't as good as the first one but it was still pretty good. ***



Jack Foley & Les Thornton vs The British Bulldogs
Here we have Foley's very first match in the WWE. Strange to think that he had his first match here when there had only been two Wrestlemanias. He looks pretty damn skinny. Short match, but it is a jobber match. 1/2*

Disc 2 :


Time for the WWE years.



Shawn Michaels vs Mankind
These two had amazing chemistry. Every minute of this match was great and never felt boring at all. I would give it the full 5 stars, but I dont think I can do it with a match that ends in a disqualification. If it had a finish, it would definitely be 5 stars. You know a match is something special when it's considered as one of HBK's best. ****3/4



Cactus Jack vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley : Falls Count Anywhere
The return of Mr Cactus Jack. It's amazing how good the matches are between these two when there are no rules at all. Big ECW chants from the crowd. The match was pretty short and the commercial break was annoying, but apart from that it was an awesome match. Great finish with Jack's piledriver through the table to win. ***3/4



Mick Foley vs Terry Funk : No Holds Barred
One of Mick's favourite matches ever seeing as it was against his favourite wrestler, Terry Funk. I saw this match on a top ten Raw matches list, so since then I've wanted to see it. Pat Patterson is the guest ref. Very good match while it lasted and they really went all over the place. Funk's moonsault was impressive. Mick hits a piledriver on the steel chair to win. ***1/2



Stone Cold vs Dude Love
Vince was the special referee. This is probably the best overbooked match in history. Only Hart/Diesel at Royal Rumble '95 comes close. This is also easily the best match that Dude Love ever had. Just a fantastic attitude era brawl that probably defined the era. Austin is able to overcome the odds and retain the title. ****1/2



Undertaker vs Mankind : Hell in a Cell
The match that made me a wrestling fan. The image of Mankind being thrown off the cell and then through the cell will stand the test of time as one of wrestling's most enduring images. Possibly the most brutal match of all time thanks to just two spots. Don't forget about the thumb tacks that came later. Incredible . ****1/2




Mankind vs The Rock : No DQ
This match was taped and the night it was shown, WCW gave away the result and ended up giving away more viewers to the WWE. This was Mick Foley's first big title win and is still a great moment and a great match too.  ***1/2


Took this next review from my History of the WWE Championship DVD review. In fact here's a link if you fancy a look. http://prowrestlingtvreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/history-of-wwe-championship-dvd-review.html


Triple H vs Cactus Jack : Street Fight
Everytime I watch this match it gets better and better. This is the match that made Triple H a bonafide superstar and for good reason. He took a lot of pain in this match, but not compared to Cactus. Cactus takes a huge chair shot about 4 mins into the match. This match is just one big highlight reel and holy shit moment . And HHH takes a freaking suplex on wooden palets ! HHH returns the favour and back suplex's Cactus on a trash can . I'll try not to comment on everything but it's been great so far ! And HHH is cut right open with a barbed wire bat . Holy shit this is amazing . HHH has an ugly looking gash on his leg . Bulldog on the bat ! Hip toss to the steel steps ! Cactus has been handcuffed just like the year before . HHH actually broke a chair on the spine of Cactus . This has been a war . Piledriver on the table ! And here come the thumbtacks . Cactus back dropped onto the tacks and somehow kicks out of the pedigree ! Pedigree face first onto the tacks ! What an absolute classic match . *****

Hardcore Bonus Disc :

Randy Orton vs Mick Foley : No Holds Barred
From Backlash 2004. Now this easily Orton's breakout match and arguably the best match he's ever had. Orton took his beating like a champ, including being thrown into a pile of thumbtacks that still looks brutal to this day. One of the best matches of 2004 and Orton's career. Gotta love Mrs Foley's baby boy for putting on a star making match, something he would do multiple times. Orton hits a sick RKO onto the barbed wire baseball bat for the win. ****1/2



The following review shows that I really used to suck ! Taken from first Edge DVD. Here's another link. http://prowrestlingtvreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/edge-decade-of-decadence-dvd-review.html


Edge vs Mick Foley : Hardcore Match
I think that Foley can make just about anyone into a superstar . He did it here with Edge on this night . How the hell is Foley still alive after all this time ? His body has taken so much abuse over the years . Nice to have Joey Styles assist with commentary , he always adds to matches . Here we go . Edge spears Mick and Edge appears to hurt more , and thats because Mick was wearing BARBED WIRE AROUND HIS WAIST !! How awesome was that ! He whips Edge with the barbed wire . Mick has his barbed wire bat ! Foley arm dragged onto the steps . Edge douses Foley with lighter fluid ! Mick takes the bat to the head . Bulldog on the bat ! Here come the thumb tacks . Edge back suplexed right on the tacks ! Mr Socko ! WRAPPED WITH BARBED WIRE ! Holy shit ! Both guys bleeding . This is like a horror movie . The table is on fire ! SPEAR THROUGH THE FLAMING TABLE !! There's your Wrestlemania moment Foley . Edge wins . This was amazing . Probably the most violent match in Wrestlemania history . ****1/4



Edge / Mick Foley / Lita vs Tommy Dreamer / Terry Funk / Beulah
I would call this the best match of the ONS PPVs , with only Awesome/Tanaka coming close . It's amazing to see a 60 year old Terry Funk in such a violent , brutal , bloody match . This is such an amazing match and the ECW crowd only makes it better . Absolutely insane and Edge is at his sleazy best as he spears Beulah and gives her a sexualised pin . ****1/4



Mick Foley vs Ric Flair : I Quit Match
I've heard good things about this match so I'm looking forward to it. Two complete opposite styles of superstars going at it . Flair's chops with the barbed wire socko were pretty cool. Flair deserves a ton of credit for the beating he took. Brutal match, probably the most brutal in Summerslam's history. The ending was quite lame with Foley trying to protect Melina. Sick stuff . ***1/2



9/10 . The next Foley set has a lot to live up to. Fantastic DVD set that mixes in a great selection of promos and a brilliant match selection. The additional commentary for the bonus disc makes the matches worth owning again. Highly recommended set.

Raw 100 : The Top 100 Moments in Raw History Blu Ray Review

Raw 100 Blu Ray Review


Disc 1 :


The Countdown

I've seen some some mixed reviews on this countdown , but I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it . It is nearly four hours long , but it's definitely worth more than one look . I won't go into what's on the countdown since there will always be those going away to rant on some random forum . No full matches or segments are shown but that suits it , and so does the fact that there is only one talking head during each of them . A few matches were mentioned in the countdown like Cena/Michaels and Perfect/Flair . A great countdown overall . 7.5/10 .



Raw 1000 Match Reviews :    ( Taken from my Raw 1000 review and I wasn't as good as I am now )




Rey Mysterio , Sin Cara & Sheamus vs Chris Jericho , Dolph Ziggler & Alberto Del Rio
Unfortunately we miss the beginning of the match due to the always highly annoying commercial breaks . What we got was fun though . Ziggler gives Jericho a right hand and Sheamus follows up with a brogue kick to win the match . **3/4 Nice to have JR join commentary as well .




Christian vs The Miz
Nice to have Bret Hart as the ring announcer . IC Title is on the line . The match is cut short thanks to commercial breaks . And we have a new champ after a skull crushing finale to Christian . **1/4




Lita vs Heath Slater : No DQ 
Lita says she hired some protection and here is the APA . Amazing to see both guys . Heath runs out the ring but is caught by every legend he's faced in the past month . He takes a twist of fate from Lita and a clothesline from hell from JBL and that puts him away . N/R   A lot of fun .





John Cena vs CM Punk
These two put on a good ten minute match when Big Show comes out and causes the DQ . *** . Show attaks Cena but Punk does nothing . He leaves the ring while the Rock comes out to put a beating on Show . He goes for a People's elbow but Punk clothelines him ! And gives him a GTS ! Heel turn ! Great way to end the show .







This is exactly what Raw should be : a ton of fun . So much nostalgia here . Definitely worth checking out .



Legends of Wrestling Blu Ray Exclusive
These are usually very interesting and this one was no different . Nice to have Road Dogg's perspective too . It lasts 1 hour and 50 minutes with different clips shown throughout . Fantastic feature here , and the 110 minutes just absolutely flew by listening to these legends . Worth more than one watch , easily . 9/10




8/10 . Great little set here , but this is the rating for the blu ray . The DVD would probably get  6.5/10 . The countdown is fun to watch but will take a while , the Raw 1000 episode was a lot of fun and great for nostalgia , and the Roundtable was an interesting feature that I hope they use in future DVD releases . Definitely pay the extra money for the blu ray .

Randy Orton : Evolution of a Predator Blu Ray Review

Randy Orton : Evolution of a Predator Blu Ray Review



Another great documentary by the WWE . It does have issues though . It seems to be half kayfabe and half reality . At one point , Orton talks about being pissed off with the general manager's ruling in the elimination chamber match , and next they'll be talking about Evolution being used to put younger guys over . One thing I did like though , is that they didn't always make him seem like this athlete destined for greatness , and talked about things he's not proud of like his run away from the army and the way that everyone thought he was a dick at some point . Definitely one that's worth a watch .  8/10



Disc 1 Matches :


Randy Orton vs Slick Robbie D
From OVW Christmas Chaos . Always nice to see early matches of guys before they made it to the main roster . Orton is definitely one of the better wrestlers to come from OVW . Orton did show some signs of greatness here . Pretty good match here and better than I expected . Orton wins with a full nelson slam . **1/2



Randy Orton vs Hardcore Holly
Now here we have Orton's WWE debut , and it was a good one . The match was really short , but they managed to pack a lot of action into the three minutes that it lasted . Orton rolls up Holly to get the upset win . *1/2



Randy Orton vs Shawn Michaels
From Unforgiven 2003 . Legend vs Legend Killer here . I consider this to be one of Orton's breakout matches . Great idea to pair him up with HBK , since he's usually the best option for giving someone a great match . Great match here and good work on HBK's shoulder . HBK thinks he's beaten Orton , but Flair puts his foot on the rope to restart the match . Orton gets some brass knucks and hits HBK with them to get the big win . ***1/2



Randy Orton vs Rob Van Dam
From Armageddon 2003 . Big moment and match for Orton here as this was the contest in which he won his first and only IC Title . Mick Foley was the guest referee for the bout .This was a good match and it made Orton look good as well . Orton hits a sick looking RKO to win the match . ***1/4



The Rock 'N' Sock Connection vs Evolution 
I remember this being awesome . Let's hope it still is . The exchanges between Flair and the Rock were a lot of fun . Flair going for the people's elbow was great . The Rock hits it in retaliation but only gets 2 . Batista hits the batista bomb but that only gets a 2 . Orton hits the RKO and gets a 3 count . This was such a great match that was entertaining all the way through . ****



Randy Orton vs Mick Foley : No Holds Barred
From Backlash 2004 . Now this easily Orton's breakout match and arguably the best match he's ever had . Orton took his beating like a champ , including being thrown into a pile of thumbtacks that still looks brutal to this day . One of the best matches of 2004 and Orton's career . Gotta love Mrs Foley's baby boy for putting on a star making match , something he would do multiple times . Orton hits a sick RKO onto the barbed wire baseball bat for the win . ****1/2




Edge vs Randy Orton 
IC Title on the line here at Vengeance 2004 . This is the match that ended Orton's reign of tyranny with the title and signified he'd be given a much larger push . It also put Edge back in the title scene . Fans were solidly behind Orton even though he was the heel . This match was good but it did have its slow points . If it wasn't for the slower parts in this match it could've been a classic . Edge wins with a spear . ***1/2



Undertaker vs Randy Orton & Cowboy Bob Orton : Casket Match
From No Mercy 2005 . For this DVD , I think they would have been better off putting either his Wrestlemania match or his Summerslam match to show his feud with Taker . This was probably the worst match they had together , but it was still pretty good . Maybe even a little underrated . The Ortons are able to close the lid on Taker to win it . **3/4



Blu Ray Extra Features are listed as follows :



On the Road with Dad

Randy Orton's Championship Legacy

Randy's Motorcycles

Rhodes Stories

Photo Gallery




Disc 2 :



Randy Orton vs Kurt Angle
From Vengeance 2006 . These two had a much better match at the second ECW One Night Stand PPV . This one still isn't bad though . I think this was also Angle's final PPV match in the WWE . Quite a slow start to the contest . Angle's eight germans were pretty cool . Orton hits the RKO to win . **1/4




Hulk Hogan vs Randy Orton
Billed as Legend vs Legend Killer . After pretty much burying HBK the previous Summerslam , Hogan decided he needed the victory more than an up and coming star . Screw you Hogan . Boot , leg drop , you know the shit . 1/2*



Randy Orton vs Dusty Rhodes : Texas Bull Rope Match
No idea why these two are fighting . Maybe because Orton is the Legend Killer . As JR would put it , this was gonna be bowling shoe ugly . Pinfalls and submissions counted . Yeah this was pretty boring . Orton hits Rhodes with the cow bell for the victory . 1/2*




John Cena vs Triple H vs Randy Orton
I love triple threat matches and this one was great . WWE made the smart move by letting Orton get the upset win . No one expected him to , even myself . They had a poll earlier in the night to see what the fans though , and only 9% picked Orton to win . Great match . ***1/2



John Cena vs Randy Orton : I Quit Match
WWE Title on the line . This one was a little unpredictable , because it was hard to imagine either guy saying 'I quit' . This had a slower pace to it , but it managed to work that pace to it's advantage . Orton hitting Cena with the kendo sticks was hard to watch , especially with the welts shown on Cena's ribs . Great match and a great visual to end the match as Orton quits to the STF using the handcuffs . ***3/4




Randy Orton vs Sheamus : Hell in a Cell
WWE Championship on the line here . In hindsight , this probably should have main evented the show , but I suppose hindsight is 20/20 . This really wasn't a feud designed for HIAC but it was still a great match . This is Sheamus's first and only Cell match to date . The match went a little too long , but it was very good for a PG cell match . Orton retains after hitting an RKO on the steel steps . ***1/2


Normally (like with the previous match) , if I have reviewed a match before , I will just put the original review in with maybe a few tweeks . Well one of my first reviews was Wrestlemania XXVII , and I've just realised how bad it is , so I'll have to do this one over again . I'll probably have to do the Orton/Christian from Smackdown again as well .




Randy Orton vs CM Punk
This was one of the only matches on this night that felt like a proper Wrestlemania match . The feud had been building since September 2008 when Orton cost Punk the World title . These two hadn't really had a singles match with each other either so it felt like a fresh contest . Good match and nice work on Orton's leg . Orton hits a huge RKO to win it . ***1/4




Randy Orton vs Christian
I hated this match at the time because Christian's reign was so short and it felt like a slap in the face to a man who worked hard for his opportunity. It even made me boo Orton for a while , and I dont usually boo someone unless they suck at wrestling . Suffice to say it was shocking at the time . However , with that being said , this was an awesome match that showed that both guys were at the top of the brand . ****


Blu Ray Exclusives :




2009 Royal Rumble Match
This only shows the rumble from the point that Orton came in , so I won't rate it . Needless to say , it is a huge moment for Orton .



Triple H vs Randy Orton : Three Stages of Hell Match
I can only remember one excellent TSOH match and that was the one from No Way Out 2001 between Austin and HHH . HHH loses the first fall by hitting Orton with a steel chair to cause a DQ . Quickly after that , HHH hits a pedigree on the outside to win the second fall . Stretcher match for the final fall . Pretty solid match as Orton retains with Legacy's help . **3/4




Randy Orton vs Christian
What a match ! This is why I love professional wrestling , matches like this . It was obvious that Orton was going to retain his title here , but Christian made you believe that he could pull the major upset . Great counter wrestling and a great looking submission hold from Orton . A modern day classic as Orton turns Christian's counter into an RKO to win . ****




8/10 . Great set . The documentary is definitely worth a watch and the extra matches are well picked . The blu ray is worth the extra money for the fantastic Over the Limit 2011 match . Recommended .

In Your House 27 : St Valentines Day Massacre Review

In Your House 27 : St Valentines Day Massacre Review


Goldust vs Bluedust
Bluedust is also known as the Blue Meanie . I think it was pretty obvious that this one wasn't going to be a technical classic . I'm surprised the Meanie performed a moonsault . This was really short and pretty awful as Goldust picks up the win . DUD



Al Snow vs Bob Holly
This was for the vacant Hardcore title , and it wasn't the last time these two would face each other in this kind of match , as they would have another two months later at Backlash . These guys went all the way outside and even over to the Mississippi River . Both guys went right in the water . Quite unique . Entertaining match anyway . Holly picks up the win . **1/4



Big Boss Man vs Mideon
This should be fun . Ah , if only sarcasm could come across on this thing . The crowd had a 'boring' chant going on during the contest . The bout really dragged on . Ended really abruptly too , as Boss Man hits his finish to end it . Well this sucked . DUD



Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett vs Mark Henry & D-Lo Brown
Strange how it took another 14 years for Mark Henry to really reach his peak . Tag titles are on the line . The match was solid , but it was Owen that made it that way . Finish was quite hot . Henry submits to the figure four to give the champs the win . **1/4



Ken Shamrock vs Val Venis
Billy Gunn was the guest referee in this match for the IC Title . Venis had pissed off Shamrock by basically screwing his sister . Apparently no ref wanted to officiate this match , so that's why Gunn took the job . The bout started off well , but it dragged a little in the middle . Boring even . Venis rolls up Shamrock for the win . *3/4



Triple H & X-Pac vs Kane & Chyna
So after this , Chyna joined X-Pac and HHH , and then HHH and Chyna betray X-Pac , who would go on to tag with Kane . Well I guess that's the attitude era for you . This one was much more entertaining than I thought it was gonna be and the crowd was really into it . Great pace . Chyna and Kane pick up the win . ***1/2




The Rock vs Mankind : Last Man Standing
I might be mistaken , but I think this might have been the first LMS match that the WWE ever had , at least on PPV anyway . I'd probably put this as one of the better LMS matches in WWE's history , even though it does have the annoying double count out finish that most LMS's have . The DDT on the table was pretty cool . Great match . ***3/4




Stone Cold vs Vince McMahon : Steel Cage
At the time , this was a highly anticipated matchup . This was barely a cage match , but it was a fun brawl . Vince flying through the announce table was an awesome sight to see . This also had the debut of Paul Wight , also known as the Big Show . Austin managed to win as Paul threw him at the cage and it opened up . **1/2



5.5/10 . The Last Man Standing match and the mixed tag match just barely saved this show . The debut of Paul Wight and the entertaining cage match helps it as well . But there was a lot of nothing and a couple of DUDs .

Elimination Chamber 2013 Review

Elimination Chamber 2013 Review : Swagger Shocks



Alberto Del Rio vs Big Show
To me , it never made sense that these guys were going back to a normal singles match after having two Last Man Standing matches . But still , the match was way better than I thought it was gonna be , and at times I wasn't sure who was gonna win . Del Rio is able to make Show tap out to retain . ***



Antonio Cesaro vs The Miz
Miz was taped up after he was attacked on Raw by Cesaro . This played a big part in the match , as Cesaro constantly targeted the injured shoulder . Miz ended up targeting Cesaro's leg , and it made for an intriguing and entertaining match until the finish came along . It was awful . Cesaro brought down Miz and Miz landed on Cesaro's groin , somehow causing the DQ . Bad finish to a solid match . **1/2



Randy Orton vs Kane vs Daniel Bryan vs Jack Swagger vs Chris Jericho vs Mark Henry : Elimination Chamber
What an awesome chamber match this was . Everyone managed to play a big part in the match , and that can be rare for chamber matches . Mark Henry coming in like a bulldozer was fantastic , and I thought for sure that he would win . He even managed to eliminate both of the tag team champs . The final three was great and unpredictable , but I was really sure that it would come down to Y2J and Orton . Turns out I was wrong , and Swagger managed to shock the world by pinning Orton for the win . ****



John Cena / Sheamus / Ryback vs The Shield
Like most , I was hoping that this would turn into a chamber match to turn it into a war games style of match . Still , it did turn out to be a great match . The Shield was dominant throughout , and somehow managed to pull off the upset win on the three biggest faces in the WWE . Awesome stuff making the Shield look like complete superstars . Rollins pins Ryback to win . ***1/2



Dolph Ziggler vs Kofi Kingston
I'm never going to complain about these two getting a bonus match . The match was way too short to mean anything , but they did manage to pack a lot of action into the four minutes . Dolph hits the zig zag to win . *3/4


Kaitlyn vs Tamina Snuka
I have absolutely no idea with what's happening in the divas division just now . This match was really short and they didn't get too much action in it . Definitely skip it . Kaitlyn retains . 1/2*



The Rock vs CM Punk
I don't know if everyone will agree with me , but I really preferred this match to the one they had at the Royal Rumble . Punk was made to look great in this match , as he was allowed to kick out of both the Rock bottom and the people's elbow . Rock never even got a chance to kick out of the GTS . Brilliant match and the crowd was really into it . Rock hits the people's elbow to retain . ****



8/10 . Great PPV here as the only bad match was the divas match , and you also have two four star matches and two of them at three stars + . Definitely get the replay or just watch again if you have Sky Sports .
