Last night WWE put on an absolute gem of a PPV, unique,
different and had some amazing moments.
The main point to mention is the ring collapsing during
the Big Show and Mark Henry match. The match was a better than usual Big Man
matches and it could have gone either way. Mark kicked out after Choke Slams
and Show kicked out after the World Strongest Slam, it was quite exciting. The
ring was already showing signs of weakness from the two big men and when Mark
Superplexed Show from the Turnbuckle the ring collapsed under the weight from
the opposite corner. Ok this was obviously planned; the post that seemed to
cause the ring to fall must have been rigged in some way to cause it to fall
like it did.
Also on a side note I know this isn’t the first time this
has happened, and a lot of you may remember to, those who are newer to the WWE
won’t know of this.
Back in June 2003 Big Show had a match on SmackDown
against the now UFC star, Brock Lesnar. Brock also Superplexed Show off the
same turnbuckle and the ring collapsed in almost the exact same way, the after
math of that match was also very much the same as this one.

So not only did that match end as a no contest as both
men were escorted from the ring by EMT’s , Show also on a small flatbed vehicle, but the following
WWE Championship match between John Cena and Alberto Del Rio went ahead in the
damaged ring.
The WWE Championship match starts slow but picks up as
this one of kind never before seen match went on. The match did pick up and
went further than the broken ring. It made its way up the ramp, and backstage.
The match was a nail biter and it could have gone either way as both superstars
came close to being down till the count of 10, at one point Cena was buried
under a load of metal yet was still able to climb out before the count of 10.
Back out into the arena and Cena is thrown through a
giant V as part of the staging, Del Rio then sets up a Table and lays Cena on
it before climbing the nearby staging in an attempt to jump off, Cena was quick
up though and pulled down Del Rio through the table below, even then Del Rio
still rose. Back at the announcer’s tables and Cena looks to be the winner as
he gives Del Rio an Attitude Adjustment through the Spanish Announcers table.
As Del Rio was about to be counted out Cena is attacked by The Miz and R-Truth
who was victorious earlier in the night thanks to the help of Kevin Nash.
Even then Cena still pulled himself to his feet, it was
the title belt to the head though that finally kept him down and for Del Rio to
take the win in this astonishingly good match.
Although those two matches were the main highlights of
the night all other matches also came to impress.
The show started with a great tag team match between the
team of Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger going against AirBoom. It was a great
way to start the show and it showed the great development in the Tag Team
matches.
It was a nicely lengthened back and forth match that
eventually saw AirBoom retain after pinning Dolph Ziggler.
As soon as that match was over Zack Ryder came to the
ring for his US Championship match against the recently pinned Ziggler.
After AirBoom was ejected from ring side for chucking Dolph
in the ring when he tried to leave, it was easy for Dolph steal the win from
Zack who put up a good fight.
Beth Phoenix and Eve put on an impressive Divas match; it
was a straight forward one on one match as Natalya and Kelly were banned from
ringside.
It was longer than usual and both Divas put on a good
show which the crowd seemed to enjoy. Beth pulled off the win.
Christian and Sheamus put on another good show with
Sheamus coming out victorious again.
Triple H and Punk then went against The Miz and R-Truth,
a great match that really showed that even though Triple H is 42, he still got
game.
Triple H and Punk worked brilliantly as a unit using some
underhanded manoeuvres while the ref wasn’t looking. I hope that we see more of
Triple H and Punk together in the road to Survivor Series.
The match broke down slightly as Truth and Triple H
brawled outside the ring by the ring bell area. As CM Punk attempted to put Miz
away in the ring Kevin Nash turned up through the crowd and struck Triple H down.
Miz and Truth then took advantage laying Punk out with a double team move which
was like a 2 person Skull Crushing Finale. Miz and Truth stole the win in this
great match.
After the match Kevin Nash continued to beat on Triple H.
Once back in the ring Nash lays Triple H out with an awkward Jack Knife
Powerbomb that looked painful due to Triple H’s awkward landing, fingers
crossed Trips is not injured.
Kevin Nash looked bigger and more toned; he may have been
training for Survivor Series.
Putting the pieces together it is looking like Survivor
Series will see Triple H team with CM Punk, John Cena, The Rock and someone yet
to be pulled into the story, vs. R-Truth, the Miz, Alberto Del Rio, Kevin Nash
and once again someone else who isn’t in the story yet.
The two missing members of the Survivor Series team could
be Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes who went head to head next which saw Orton victorious
in yet another good match.
The whole PPV was great, all the matches were brilliant
and the results were interesting and things should be worth watching in the
next few weeks.
I give this PPV 4.5 out 5.
The new Twitter pop ups knocked that 0.5 off of that,
otherwise I can’t find a fault.
Questions for
you.
Do you agree with my Survivor Series team prediction?
How do you guys think The Rock will be bought into the
Storyline?
Disappointed that the Undertaker didn’t show up?
What did you think of the PPV and did you like the Ring
collapse angle?
That’s all for now Matty.D singing off!
