Before I start, where is the pre-show? You didn't post it on this thread, nor have you uploaded it.
The Money In The Bank match was a nice way to start the show. It had some nice spots. I liked the Boom Drop onto the ladder like a see saw. I thought the match was over when Barrett and Miz were battling. I liked all the team moves. The Neutralizer off the ladder and through another ladder was great. There wer multiple times that I thought the match was over. It was actually a long match. Usually MITB's aren't of great length. This is one of the best MITB matches I've seen in Pic Fedding, no exaggeration. I did see your fingers once or twice and there were a couple of blurry shots near the start, but nothing major. Amazing opener. When I saw Sheamus and Finlay come out, I knew it was going to en an all out brawl. It was a good match, though I think it was quite short and would have liked an extra minute or two. I liked the apart where Sheamus threw Finlay in the ring and the ending was good. The chair and the trash can introduced a good bit of action to the match. Another good match. Battle Royal was OK. Nothing special, just felt like a typical filler. A nice way to put an extra handful of men on the card. The ending was clever and I liked how he landed on the announce table, right next to his new title. OK filler. The segment was nice and I like how it cut the entrances like it would in WWE. Wasn't a fan of how short the match between NWo and Revolution was and the interference, but I guess that's to get build for the main event. This was barely even a match. Not going to give it a rating below because it wasn't long enough to rate. I would have liked to see entrances for Bourne vs Jericho because I always like Jericho's entrances and I felt because it's a title match it should have entrances, even though I like those little pre-match segments. Evan's high flying moves were great and really made this match better, though Jericho's technical ability allowed him to get some offensive moves in. Jericho's enzigury was a stand out pose. Jericho's attack with title was great for his heel persona and I was surprised in Bourne kicked out. The ending was great and very technical with all the counters. Great World title match. I like the team of Orton and Del Rio and they had a good pre-match segment. This was a pretty good match. It had some good tag team action. I would have preferred this match if it had a stipulation. I like how they did bring weapons in when the ref was down. I thought the match was over after the RKO. Plenty of pin break ups. The ending was good and the interference was great.
INTO THE DOME!!!!!
Swagger vs Cena doesn't sound like a main event match but damn it was! I'm glad they had entrances. It was quite disappointing to have missed all the mid card entrances. This match had lots of slams and pure wrestling. It felt like there was a frame missing when Cena was getting back in the ring. Itwas quite surprising to see Swagger dominating the start of the match. I was rooting for Swagger (not that I have anything against Cena) and was so happy when he kicked out of the AA. It was all a good match but then it became a bit hectic when everyone interfered. I didn't really know who was on whose side or anything. I was a little disappointed that Cena won but it was still a great match. The attack on Cena at the end was a bit unusual but I found it good. Onto the Hell In A Cell. Undertaker's entrance was great. The match started off brutal with Lesnar charging into Taker. I'm glad the weapons were brought in really quick. The early chockslam was surprising. This match had lots of great spots. The early F5 was also quite surprising. There were quite a few brutal spots with the cell. Nice to see the guys go to the top of the cell. Brock's near fall was intense. The tombstone on the cell was great. It would have been nice to have some blood in this match, seeing as though there were a lot of brutal spots. I thought the streak was over, and then Taker got the Hell's Gate in. The spot with the table and the reversal into the submission with the chain were great. That tombstone! I thought the match was over! I was slightly disappointed with the ending. I just felt that a Last Ride wasn't the way to end the match. Amazing match and one of the two matches of the night.
MAIN EVENT TIME!!
Punk's entrance was epic! I love that shirt. I like how you put Punk's theme in for his entrance. This match was great and flowed well. It had some nice spots. The brawl outside the ring was nice. The ring to ring jump by Punk was great. Lots of close calls and I thought the stunner had finished the match, and then I thought the GTS had finished the match, then he kicked out!!! Not too great of a fan of Punk putting on Austin's jacket. Too many people doing that now. That mid air Stunner was great. I thought it was over, right there and then. I then thought the match was over with the Stunner and GTS, but he kicked out!!!!! So many close calls!!! The pile driver, yet another close call. The attack with the pipe was great and then the elbow, but no win!!!! Punk kicking the ref was cool. There was a random shot of Nash and Hardy (mistake). I'm guessing that's a mistake. The ending was great, though I'm not sure about a Punk and Rock feud. Joint match of the night with the Hell in a Cell.
Overall, this was a great PPV, and I have 3 minor complaints:
1) Fingers in some shots
2) Some blurry shots earlier in the show (not many)
3) No entrances in mid-card
But none are major.
Each match and it's rating out of 5 stars:
MITB - ****1/2
Sheamus vs Finlay - ***3/4
Battle Royal - **1/2
NWO vs Revolution - No rating (not long enough to give a rating)
Jericho vs Bourne - ****1/4
Legend Killers vs E&C - ****
Swagger vs Cena - ****1/4
Lesnar vs Taker - ****3/4
Stone Cold vs CM Punk - ****3/4
I'd give this PPV an 8 1/2 out of 10.
Great job on this PPV. Well done!
