Over The Limit falls short.

Over the Limit was last night but unfortunately it didn’t quite go over the limit.
The night was just injuries and blood that WWE didn’t want.

The night started with Kofi vs. Drew McIntyre, the match was a good start, saw some great moves and in my eyes an overall good match that I did enjoy. We had some high flying moves some good ground work and close two counts, but in the end Kofi does his flip manoeuvre which lands in a pin and gets the three to win.
Straight after this Drew grabs a microphone and demands that Teddy Long comes down and reverses the decision and to give him back the Intercontinental Title. Instead of Teddy he got Matt Hardy. Matt made his way to the ring beat on Drew and nailed the twist of fate before walking away.

We then had a little backstage promo of CM Punk and an obvious plug for AXE Hair.

We then had R-Truth vs. Ted Dibiase. This match wasn’t amazing but wasn’t bad either, I am enjoying this storyline and it’s a great push for these superstars. One of them or even both of them could be in a WWE or World Title match in the near future.
Even with the presents Virgil, Ted still couldn’t get the win as R-Truth hits him with the spinning elbow for the 1, 2, 3.

Teddy then gets his Office ransacked by Drew.

We then move into a match with some interesting moments. The match being Rey vs. Punk.
The reason this was interesting is during the match Punk hit his head on Rey’s knee brace and started to bleed badly from his head. Rey was thrown head first out of the ring and into the barber’s chair that was sitting out side of the ring.
Rey remained down out side the ring giving the Ref time to attend to Punk but the ref and the medic was unable to stop the bleeding, they was only able to clean it up so it didn’t look as bad as it really was.
This took awhile and began to bore the crowd, once Rey was standing, but still staggering, the crowd cheered but then started to chant, “Boring, Boring” so Punk took it upon himself to get on with things. He dove out of the ring and threw Rey around like a rag doll as if he was in a blind rage.
The match went on like normal after that other than the fact that blood was still clearly coming from his head, but that blood alone made the match just that little bit better than it would have been.
The match in the end ended with Rey getting a quick roll up to get the 1, 2, 3. Punk sat in the ring in shock at what just happened, before Rey could get to the hair cutting though the Mystery man attacked Rey, then Gallows and Serena come down. They produce some hand cuffs and start preparing to cuff Rey to the ropes when the big red machine Kane made him self know as he came to the ring to help Rey out. Kane clears the ring then Choke slams Punk. Punk is then cuffed up to the ropes, and proceeds to cut Punks hair.
At this point the blood was becoming more and more visible as it streamed down his face as Rey cut at the hair. At first we was seeing it well but then we had the angle form behind his head so we couldn’t see anything, also Punk used Rey’s leg to attempt to wipe away what he could. After so long Rey stopped and Serena chucked a towel over Punks head allowing him the chance to wipe the blood off. He was then helped back stage by the S.E.S. When Punk was backstage, out of story and off screen, Punk had 13 staples put in his head.

We then had a funny backstage moment with Big Show, Chris Jericho and Miz followed by a Prince of Persia ad.

We move into the Tag match now with the Heart Dynasty vs. Chris and Miz.
A pretty solid match I am really enjoying the Heart Dynasty I think they are an awesome team. The Hearts won this after nailing there tag team move called the Heart attack.

Up next was one of the highly anticipated matches of the night of Edge vs. Orton. It was a good match at first and I was really getting into it when there was an unfortunate injury. When Randy was pumping up for the RKO he caused his shoulder to be separated. It apparently separated when he did his viper neck snap getting pumped up, he then caused it to get worst by dropping to the mat to set up for the RKO and bashing the floor with his fists. He stopped mid way through his setup to the RKO and started to hold his arm he says something to Edge obviously signalling that he is hurt so Edge does not hurt him further. Edge moves to the ring side and Randy gives him a limp kick to knock him out of the ring to start a count out. The ref has already thrown up the X sign signalling the need of a medic and to let them know of the real injury to the people backstage. If you are reading this on my Facebook or Blogger you can see the image of the Ref throwing up the X sign and Randy holding his arm. Randy goes out the ring and goes to Edge and the Ref tells the time keeper that Randy is out. While Edge and Randy start a watered down fight outside the ring the Ref starts the 10 count. Just as the Ref gets to 9 Edge attempts to spear Randy but Randy dodges it so Edge goes head first into the barrier as they hit the 10 and ending the match.
Randy is helped back stage and you can tell he was angry about what happened. When back stage there was apparently worry and concern about him. He was checked out by the trainers, how long he will be out of action for is still unknown. Randy also apparently threw a fit once backstage.

After that we led into the World title match between Jack and Show. It went well at first up until Jack got himself disqualified by hitting show in the head with the Title belt. He then proceeded to hit show in the back with a chair. Big Show then did the same to jack bending the chair across his back, then choke slamming him on it and then doing his giant punch. This didn’t really amaze me and I dint think much of this match.

We then had a look back at what Batista done to Mark Henry over recent weeks on Raw before we led into the Divas match between Eve and Maryse.
This was an ok match but not as good as the divas matches we’ve seen from LayCool recently.
Eve won the match with some little face slam move to Maryse.

We then headed into the I Quit Match. The best way to describe this match is “Meh” but it did have a good moment when Cena got dumped threw an announcers table. Some how this caused his head to get a little cut and made him bleed but the medics was on him quick, they obviously didn’t want more blood ruining there show all though it would have made it better. The match moved into the crowd and round to the staging. We had Batista try and back a car from the shows staging into John but this was a total fail. John then got Batista on the car and Attitude Adjustment-ed him onto the car. When Batista didn’t quit Cena lifted him back up and was ready to do it again but this time onto the staging below. Before John got the chance to throw him down Batista panicked and started saying “I Quit” over and over. The bell rang and we though that would be it but Cena still threw him onto the staging on a specially made area where Batista could fall threw floor and on to a mat below.
As the show was ending Shames appeared and attacked John.

This event was just not that well done if you ask me and the issues with blood and Randy’s injury just caused the show to fall apart.
I’m sure punk would have been fine to keep going with blood down his face and it’s just a red liquid from the body what is the big deal WWE?

Best match of the night: Punk vs. Rey.

Rating out of 5: only 2.5

Matty.D Signing off.
