WWE: Breaking Point 2009 (2009) Review

(More customer reviews)
Once again, thanks to WWE Classics On Demand, I was able to see WWE's new concept PPV that replaced the annual Unforgiven card with this event being named Breaking Point in which all of the main event matches need to end by someone submitting.
Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show vs M.V.P. & Mark Henry. As I have mentioned before, I am not really big on the whole "Jeri-Show" tag team while I can care less about the M.V.P./Henry duo. Although, I am happy to say that this was a good opener that the crowd actually got into with the action getting better when Jericho took on M.V.P. while the action slowed when Show was working with Henry.
United States Champion Kofi Kingston vs The Miz. This was one of those matches that was better than what it looked on paper as the action was getting better as time went on with both men doing counter after counter to the point that the crowd made no noise at the start but slowly got into the action. Definitely the "sleeper" match of the night & both men's best match up to this point.
Submissions Count Anywhere: D-Generation X vs Legacy. Before the match, there was some comedy as the crowd quickly cheered but then turned in the "You Screwed Bret" chants towards Shawn Michaels (they are in Montreal) with Triple H pulling off the quick one-liner that had everyone laughing. Anyways, this was a brawl that went all over the building with moments of both teams using innovative submission attempts like the camel clutch & boston crab on a folded chair by DX, Cody doing the Gory Guerrero special, the double figure four in the aisle way before Legacy was able to take out Triple H & dominate HBK in the ring including the finishing move of the figure four around the ringpost combined with the million dollar dream. This was my favorite match of the night as Legacy got the biggest win in their young careers while both teams still left the match strong.
Singapore Cane Match: Kane vs The Great Khali. Honestly, I just fast-forward this match since these two just don't work well together & who ever made this feud needs to get shot.
ECW Champion Christian vs William Regal. Now, this was the match that we should have gotten at SummerSlam as this was a great mat-based wrestling match with Regal actually being able to control the action at times including using some of his stiff offense including one knee to the face to Christian that it had everyone in the arena turn their heads. We all know the type of performance Christian can deliver & just like the previous title match, the crowd got into the action as time went on as this was again, another great match.
I-Quit Match: WWE Champion Randy Orton vs John Cena. If you can get pass the whole predictable finish (I honestly saw it coming from a mile away) including the quick STF finish, this match told a good story of how Orton was just punishing Cena throughout the match to the point where his offense was calculating just to make Cena suffer with one moment to point out being Cena being handcuffed to the ringpost, only to be beaten with a singapore cane. Again, a good story told but this was no where near their SummerSlam clash from the month prior.
Submission Match: World Champion CM Punk vs The Undertaker. This was a real disappointment as this match ended just when it was starting to pick up and become really good. Both men worked well together in the short time that they had but this was all about setting up another "Screwjob" in Montreal as Taker won the match originally but then had the decision reverse that lead to Theodore Long & the referee pulling off something that we have seen before. A bad way to end the night as I actually enjoyed their Hell In A Cell match a month later more than this.
Overall, this event had three matches worth checking out in DX/Legacy, Kofi/Miz & Christian/Regal while the rest was either watchable or just bad so hopefully this was the first & only time WWE will use this concept because it really did hurt the event more than helped.

WWE: Hell in a Cell 2009 (2009) Review

WWE: Hell in a Cell 2009 (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Another concept PPV by the WWE in which they actually used the Hell In A Cell to end their main event matches but I would give the same point that I addressed at Breaking Point at the end of this review.
Hell In A Cell: World Champion CM Punk vs The Undertaker. After the disappointing result from Breaking Point, this match actually delivered here as Taker tried to use his power & even attacking Punk various times with the Cell itself. Punk was able to use his speed & quickness to the point where he heavily focused on Taker's leg that ended up becoming a factor at times in the match with weapons like a steel chair & even the ring steps getting used as well. If you can take under consideration that this match was short due to Taker's condition at this point in his career, this was my favorite Cell match of the night as both men put on a good performance with the crowd heavily into the action.
Intercontinental Champion John Morrison vs Dolph Ziggler. The continuation of the WWE pushing the Intercontinental Championship to where it belongs as these two hard workers had a very athletic contest with the action being fast paced at times as Ziggler just keeps impressing each & everytime I have seen him while I already know how great of a performer Morrison is. It's not a classic like the Mysterio/Jericho series earlier in the year but a very enjoyable encounter.
Divas Champion Mickie James vs Alicia Fox. The only part that got my attention during this match was the sick DDT that Mickie delivered at the end as this match was very dull & boring for me.
Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show vs Batista & Rey Mysterio. Once again, I'll admit that I am no fan of the Jeri-Show tag team but each time I have seen them on PPV, they deliver & this was no exception. A very good tag team match as it seemed that all four men just stepped their game up for this match with Batista & Show meshing well with their power offense while we already know what to expect when Jericho works with Mysterio based of their series earlier in the year. I would rank this as the best match I have seen from the Jericho/Show tag team so far.
Hell In A Cell: WWE Champion John Cena vs Randy Orton. Just like their Breaking Point match, this was more of pushing the storyline & characters than putting on a good match while at the same time, this match came off more as a No Disqualification match than being a Cell match as this match had a slow pace with both men trying to play mind games with the other along with Orton doing his usual but great "Viper" attack even using a chair at one point or another. This would have been better as a No DQ match but I'll give it credit as this did tell a good story but overall, I thought it was a weak Cell match.
R-Truth vs Drew McIntyre. This was one of those matches that was placed on the wrong spot as if it was the opener, the crowd would have enjoyed it more as this was just a decent match but the crowd was really not into it as they chanted "Boring" during it.
United States Champion Kofi Kingston vs The Miz vs Jack Swagger. Just like the previous match, this match was at the wrong place at the wrong time. A good match for what it was but it was nothing really memorable which was a shame considering the surprise match that Kofi & Miz had the previous month.
Hell In A Cell: D-Generation X vs Legacy. Unlike how their SummerSlam & Breaking Point matches turned out, this was easily my least favorite out of their matches because I just found this match to be very predictable from start to finish. The beginning starts as a brawl between all four men before Cody & Dibiase tried to use the same tactics that payed off to them at Breaking Point by taking out Triple H & locking Shawn in the Cell to be tortured before Triple H was able to eventually get in the Cell to turn the tables on Legacy. Their previous matches had both teams exchange wins but everyone came off strong in the end where this match was more about showcasing Triple H's dominance than anything else. I know I am in the minority but I am just being honest in that I really didn't care for this match at all.
Overall, as I mentioned in the beginning of my review, this event was similar to Breaking Point in which a one time use of the concept will work (ex. DX/Legacy at Breaking Point & Taker/Punk here) but you can't get away with creating three of them & having every single one come off as a success. The undercard had some good matches here & there but this is really just another event that is good for a rental or WWE Classics On Demand but I would go out of my way to buy this.

WWE: Survivor Series 2009 (2009) Review

WWE: Survivor Series 2009 (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
WWE followed up last year's horrendous Survivor Series with a slightly better effort in 2009. Aside from one horrendous match, the card was mostly fine, but only one match was close to being anything special. Very forgettable show overall, but they did at least try to create some new stars and put over some young talent. The crowd was also dead for most of the night, which really hurt the show in some areas. Matches are rated out of 5 stars (*****).
1. Traditional Survivor Series Match
Team Miz (Miz, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, & Jack Swagger)
vs.
Team Morrison (John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Evan Bourne, Finlay, & Shelton Benjamin)
Decent Opener, but nothing special. It started off pretty hot with Evan Bourne working with Swagger and Ziggler, but once all three were eliminated they almost completely lost the crowd and nothing special happened. It came down to Morrison against McIntyre, Sheamus, and Miz, and he was defeated, so at least WWE threw some weight behind a few of their young and upcoming stars. **1/4
2. Batista vs. Rey Mysterio
Very short match. Mysterio started off with his usual flurries of offense but after only a couple minutes Batista took control and utterly decimated him. Crowd, interestingly enough, was almost 100 percent behind Batista as he powerbombed Rey 3 times and won via stoppage. After the match, amidst chants of "one more time," Big Dave gave Rey a spinebuster on a steel chair. *1/2
3. Traditional Survivor Series Match
Team Kingston (Kofi Kingston, MVP, Mark Henry, R-Truth, & Christian)
vs.
Team Orton (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase, William Regal, & CM Punk)
Good match. It came down to Kingston against Punk and Orton, and Orton stood on the outside for almost 10 minutes as Kingston and Punk wrestled with no crowd heat whatsoever. Kingston then pinned Punk after rolling through a cradle and seconds later hit Trouble in Paradise on Orton for the win, which the crowd actually reacted to. Not a lot of heat until the very end, but it was a good match. **3/4
4. World Heavyweight Championship Match
Undertaker (c) vs. Chris Jericho vs. Big Show
First title match of the night, and it was a pretty good match. All things considered I thought these three worked well together and had a better match than I'd imagined. That being said, it didn't exactly steal the show. Good finishing sequences with several near falls broken up by the third man, until Show knocked Jericho out and got caught in the Hell's Gate for the submission. **3/4
5. Traditional Survivor Series Match
Team Mickie (Mickie James, Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, Melina, & Eve Torres)
vs.
Team Michelle (Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix, Jillian Hall, Layla, & Alicia Fox)
This was just an awful match. Too many missed spots to mention, and there were several times when they almost killed each other with missed moves. It also seemed to go on FOREVER, and I was just begging for it to end. They must have been short on time. Anyway, Mickie and Melina are the survivors after Melina eliminates Michelle McCool. 1/2*
6. WWE Championship Match
John Cena (c) vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
Best match of the night. Not a great match but very good, only match on the card that came close to being special. HBK superkicked Hunter straight away, and then worked with Cena for a while. Triple H eventually gave shawn a spinebuster through the announcer's table and worked alone with Cena. Then in the last third of the match they had some great triple threat near falls and all three worked together. Cena eventually won, "shockingly," and found himself awash with boos (crowd was against him the whole match, when they were actually making noise). Good match though, probably saved this ppv from being in the 2/5 star range. ***1/2
This was almost a waste of a ppv. The only real commendable thing I can say about it was that they tried to get some young talent over, which they desperately need. Other than that, this was one average match after another with a very good main event. Do not buy this on dvd, if you really have the urge to watch it, rent it, but it really is not worth your money.

WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders And Chairs 2009 (2009) Review

WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders And Chairs 2009 (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was one of the better and best ways to close out wwe ppv's of a dissapointing year of 2009. Thanks for reading!
Ladder match for the ECW championship
Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin
This was a very good match and a great way to start off a very extreme night. This was fast paced, very brutal, and had some great moments that could have stole the show. This match had moments like benjamin getting on the top of a ladder and then doing the wrestlemania 25 flip onto christian and almost breaking his back, and a huge frogsplash onto benjamin from the top rope and right through a ladder. This match is very entertaining and is a edge of your seat match with tons of joey styles OH MY GOD!!! Moments.
4.5/5
Intercontinental championship
John Morrison vs. Drew McIntyre
This match is also another good match on this card. This match had some fast paced moments with one of the most botched moves i have ever seen. These two had a pretty good rivalry going and put on a good match. I didn't like that Drew won, but, it was a perfect opportunity for McIntire to get the win after morrison missed a starship pain.
3.5/5
Womens championship
Mickie James vs. Michelle McCool
What a boring match. I hated this match the entire time. This was very boring and like all other diva matches, slow. This match was a filler and not watchable.
1/5
Tables match for the WWE championship
John Cena vs. Sheamus
Wow. I had no idea that this match would be good. These two put on a great match with a great buildup to go along. The ending is very dissapointing and very sad because sheamus wins with cena falling from the second rope and going through a table. I liked the brutality and how the match was back and forth the entire match. This match had some good weapon use and is very enjoyable and has tons of action.
4.5/5
Chairs match for the WWE championship
Undertaker vs. Batista
This isn't a very good match either. These two have had many great matches when they had rivalrys, but this was the worst encounter between these two. I didn't like that batista won with a cheap lowblow, and that the match got restarted, and undertaker getting a quick win. This match was very short, unlike their other matches. This match is watchable, but not worth watching.
3.5/5
Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston
This is their best encounter yet. These two put on a great match, but was a little short. I like the action and some great moments in this match like orton getting a dropkick on the outside in midair, the punt to the arm, and a missed trouble in paradise leading to a huge RKO. I really like this match and thought it was a great way to lead up to the main event and the best match on the card.
4/5
Tables, Ladders, and Chairs for the Unified Tag-Team championships
DX vs. JeriShow
This match definatly deserved to be the main event. This match had tons of chair and ladder use and is very brutal. I liked that this match pretty much started on the entrance way very early in the match. This match was a finisher fest, everybody got their finishers on each other. Some great moments like triple h and shawn being cokeslammed together through a table, big show getting jericho on his sholders while trying to get the belts, two sweet chin musics in a row, big show breaking a ladder in half, and DX winning their first tag titles. This match is fast paced and fifty/fifty and very enjoyable.
5/5
This ppv was a great way to end 2009 and had a lot of very good and surprisingly good matches. I recomend this ppv to your wwe collection.

RAW
BEST OF 2009
I have been watching Raw since it was first airing back in 1993 and have never stopped since. Many memorable moments have happened and that includes over this past year. There are a lot of moments included in this set from guest hosts, to the shocking, to the comedic. I am sure you can see from other reviews here that there are some good moments on this set and some good matches. Of course keep in mind these are matches from Raw and not pay per views.
DISC 1
1.SHAWN MICHAELS VS JOHN CENA-the first match on the set is between two of my favorites, HBK all time fav and Cena another fav. This was during the time when Shawn had to listen to JBL and was told to soften up Cena for JBL's match at the Royal Rumble. This match between the two while not the classic their match was in 2007 I believe it was is still very good. In fact I enjoy this match a lot not only because of the action but the story involved. The action is back and forth with each guy inflicting good damage to the other. In the end HBK wins the match with or without JBL's help, you be the judge.4/5
2.[NO DQ - I-C TITLE] CM PUNK VS WILLIAM REGAL-the second match is between two more of my favorite wrestlers. This one is another good back and forth battle in which Punk avenges a something that happened prior. Regal of course has his girl interfere in the match but that means nothing. Punk becomes the I-C champion in a good no dq match, at least for Raw.4/5
3.SANTINO MARELLA VS MICKIE JAMES-believe it or not but two more of my all time favorites, Mickie I will always love and of course the comic genius Santino. This match was a special match were Santino had to beat Mickie with one arm tied behind his back. He had to do this in order to enter the Diva battle royal. The crazy idea of this match alone makes it a classic, and he still looses, I love it.5/5
4.TEN MAN WRESTLEMANIA ALLSTAR SHOWCASE-IN THIS SPECIAL MATCH Ricky Steamboat teamed with John Cena, Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, and Jeff Hardy against Chris Jericho, Kane, Matt Hardy, Edge, and Nig Show. I know some people may disagree with me but I really do enjoy this match. I know it may not be a classic to some but just having The Dragon in there and the talent that was also involved just can't help but like it. With things that are going on lately I find myself enjoying things a lot more, the action in this is great. A lot of good back and forth action with every one getting in good spots but the feel good ending with Steamboat makes this a great moment. As far as matches on Raw go this is a 5 star one simply because it is just fun.5/5
5.CHRIS JERICHO VS JOHN CENA-I actually think this is another great match from Raw with two of my favorites going at it [I have been saying that a lot]. The action is good with the crowd really getting into this one. The London crowd make this match seem really epic, to bad Edge has to ruin it. Another good choice from the year for the set.4/5
6.RANDY ORTON VS MVP-the final match of the first disc is another well deserved match to the collection and like the others is a good match. Back and forth action with the Legend killer ending up getting caned by Shane. Another fun match with two of the futures biggest stars, good match.4/5
DISC 2
1.[US TITLE] MVP VS KOFI KINGSTON-the first match of disc 2 is another wise choice for the DVD as two of the young guns go at it with the US title on the line. Excellent back and forth on this one with Kofi getting that big win. I seem to be enjoying the selections for this set a lot. Both go at it with everything they have delivering for the fans.4/5
2.[WWE TITLE] RANDY ORTON VS TRIPLE H VSJOHN CENA VS BIG SHOW-this one right here is just another fun match and although not a classic there are some good high spots. Each person has a fair amount of time to shine dishing out punishment. But after a bunch of high spots Randy takes advantage of the situation and RKO's Big Show for the win and the title.4/5
3.[LAST MAN STANDING WWE TITLE] TRIPLE H VS RANDY ORTON-now this match here is excellent and was worthy of pay per view like it was supposed to be. Both of these guys go at it hard looking like they want to end each other. The action goes from the ring to the floor to all over the place and back. This gets violent at times at least to Raw standards and Randy keeps the title but is not the last man standing.5/5
4.RANDY ORTON VS EVAN BOURNE, JACK SWAGGER, MARK HENRY-Randy has to face off with Evan first and does a good job against him. The action is good with Evan getting in a few moments, still Orton finishes him. Next up is Jack but he opts to get a count out loss letting Orton move on to the next opponent. His final opponent was the world's strongest man and at first he seemed like he would opt out as well. But he took it to Randy and even beat him his first night back on Raw.3/5
5.RANDY ORTON VS TED DIBIASE-this match would pit two team members against each other as leader Orton went up against the Million Dollar man's kid. The match is good and for a while it seemed like the student would become the teacher. But Randy proved to be too much for Ted. Still it is a good match that kinda reminded me of the 90's for some reason.4/5
6.KELLY KELLY VS ALICIA FOX VS GAIL KIM VS BETH PHOENIX-not too much going on here as usual since most of the "divas" cannot put on good matches like they do in TNA. Still it is ok I guess since I am a huge Beth Phoenix fan although Gail gets the win, Beth needs to go to TNA.2.5/5
7.CHRIS JERICHO VS MVP-another good match up with two talented guys going at it with a nice pace. Although not a classic it is still a welcome addition to the set with MVP taking one half of the tag champs in Chris Jericho. Good action in this one much like the others with Jericho ending it with a code breaker.4/5
8.[US TITLE] KOFI KINGSTON VS THE MIZ VS JACK SWAGGER VS CARLITO-this one features four of the younger stars going at it with everything. All four of these guys are great and yes that includes The Miz. All of them deliver high spots and their finishers and give great performances. Still it is Kofi that walks out the victory in this fast paced and short match.4.5/5
DISC 3
1.[BODY SLAM CONTEST] BIG SHOW VS MARK HENRY-the first match on this set is really just a contest. This one happens to pit two big guys against each other in a body slamming contest. So the action has to be short which it is with Henry coming out on top.3.5/5
2.[NO HOLDS BARRED] RANDY ORTON VS BATISTA-this match is the homecoming of Batista who wants some revenge on Orton, the man who injured him. The match is pretty good and features John Cena keeping Randy in the match. Batista controls the match and gets the victory over the Legend Killer. A lot of brawling and power moves were used in this match, just the way Batista likes it.3.5/5
3.DX VS CHRIS JERICHO & BIG SHOW-next up we have the greatest group ever DX taking on Jericho and Big Show. The match is another good choice for the collection with both teams wanting the victory. Show and Jericho control a lot of the match and even almost end it. But after DX takes Show out Jericho is left to fend for himself and feels some sweet chin music.4/5
4.JOHN CENA VS TRIPLE H-one of the longer matches on the set features Cena taking on the other member of DX Triple H. this is one of Cena's better matches with my favorite part being when he tricks Hunter into going for his leg. Good back and forth action that sees Triple H get the victory.4/5
5.CHRIS JERICO VS KOFI KINGSTON-another excellent addition to the set with great action from two of the best in the biz as of now. Jericho will go down as one of the best ever and Kofi is an excellent talent who is on his way. The action is great with a ton of high spots from both, but Kofi pulls off the win.5/5
6.CHAVO GUERRERO VS SANTINO MARELLA-just like anything that involves Santino this is classic for sure. The opening with all the jerseys is great and the match is short but sweet. Santino goes home a winner regardless of how he got it.5/5
7.DX VS JERI SHOW VS JOHN CENA & UNDERTAKER-excellent match right here with six of the all time best. I could care less what anybody else says I love this match and all the back and forth things between all of them. There is a lot of fast paced action going on in this one with every one getting in on the fight. The ending of this one is great with Cena and Taker taking it, but watch for the tombstone.5/5
8.CM PUNK VS JOHN CENA-Cena and Punk get after it in this match up just one day after Cena was in a war with DX. This match is also another worthy addition to the set and features one of the best "attitude adjustments" to date. A lot of good action in this one with Punk looking like he was going to get the victory. But it was not meant to be with Cena getting the w.5/5
9.JOHN CENA VS RANDY ORTON-the final match of the set is a classic battle between two familiar foes. Randy and John go at it tooth and nail if I may bring that back for a second. Sure this is not their best match together but it is a good one for this collection. The action in this one like the rest is great with Cena getting the win, great set.4/5
This has got to be considered a good set even though it could have been so much more. A lot of great moments have happened over the past year and some for some reason did not make this set. Still there is enough here that anyone who is a casual fan should love this set. Any hardcore fans out there may be a bit disappointed but I found it to be entertaining. I hope they do this every year and release previous years as well. Also I hope Smackdown and ECW sets are on the way.

The reason this dvd about the new DX of the wwe is a hit and miss is that if you are a big fan of wrestling as I am, you already own EVERYTHING on this dvd! The new DX focusses only on the reuniting of HHH and HBK last year and each and every clip they did in their fueds with the Spirit Squad, the McMahons, and Rated RKO. Sure some moments are really funny and the matches they chose are pretty much entertaining to see, do not buy this if you are a long time fan or have collected the monthly ppvs on dvd like I have for the past year beause you are pretty much spending money to get the same footage all over again.

John Morrison (SmackDown) vs. The Miz (RAW) - The former World & WWE Tag Team Champions, former host of "The Dirt Sheet", and the holders of the top midcard titles (I.C. for Morrison & U.S. for Miz) finally clash here in their first singles meeting since being split up as a team back in April when Miz turned on Morrison after being drafted to RAW. No pun intended but this was "total nonstop action" as both men went back & forth here with Morrison showcasing his high flyin' style while Miz was more grounded but also very aggressive while using few heel tactics here & there. The only bad note I can say here is that the ending looked a little weak to me but a great way to start the show.
Melina, Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly (RAW) vs. Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix, Natayla (SmackDown) - Normally when you get a multi-diva tag match, it's full of botches or they just stick to the wrestlers doing most of the work with the other pretty faces just getting a move in. However this one is a standout out of the past few matches on PPV because just like the first match, it continued to be fast paced action while everyone put in a good "botchless" effort from everyone. It should also be noted that there was some good foreshadowing of things to come from the SD team with Beth Phoenix dominating before McCool would make the blind tag to take over & be a glory hog with Beth returning the favor later.
World Champion Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Batista vs. C.M. Punk - No different than the previous two matches, this was another quick fast paced one (as usually these multiman type of matches are) that had it's various moments like Taker tossing Punk over the top rope with Rey sitting a sitdown splash on Punk right afterwards on the floor with Mysterio again taking advantage of a situation by hitting another splash on Taker after a superplex with C.M. Punk. The main story here though was Batista & Rey Mysterio working together as a team thoughout the match only for Rey to break up Batista's pin at one point leading to what happened after the match between Rey & Batista that started with the words "I can't believe my best friend stabbed me in the back...I'm gonna rip your head off."
D-Generation X, Big Show, Jack Swagger, Mark Henry, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston (RAW) vs. Chris Jericho, Kane, Matt Hardy, Finlay, R-Truth, Hart Dynasty (SmackDown) - The final match to determine who gets the Bragging Rights trophy however this match heavily resembled what I classified as multi-diva matches earlier in that only certain people work the matches while others just come in to get a spot in before being forgotten about. This was a good match that had some moments like Finlay & Shawn facing off (I think for the first time) and literally "butting heads" while old rivals fought again at various times (Hardy with Henry & Swagger along with Kane & Big Show). I'll say that it was creative how everything that happened in the ending would set up various angles following the match but overall, this match was a bit of a disappointment for me.
Falls Count Anywhere Ironman Match: WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. John Cena - The final encounter (or so they say) between these two who have been going at it on & off for the past two years for an entire hour and there was a special stipulation in that there was a one minute rest period between each fall. This was different than their typical matches in that knowing they are going for a complete hour, both men were more cautious as shown early when Orton tapping out very quickly the moment he got caught to avoid long term damage. Cena was bleeding at one point (and they tried to stop the clock to tend to the cut) but didn't stop & continued the match until the next fall as they tended to the cut during the rest period. There were some other standout moments like the "Attitude Adjustment" being countered into the RKO, the appearence of Legacy & Kofi Kingston, Orton trying to use the stage pyro against Cena, the fight through the crowd, tables & chairs & the steel steps being used, and Cena executing one of the most aggressive versions of the "STF" that I've seen from him. I've always said that Cena is at his best when he's in these "hardcore" type of matches & Orton definately held more than his own here in this match.
In the end, this was one of those PPV's that didn't have a bad match on it with the only negative thing I can say is that with the main match behind this "brand war" concept was a disappointment. Overall, this is definately one worth checking out.
