WWE: Extreme Rules 2009 (2009) Review

WWE: Extreme Rules 2009 (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was a very newsworthy show from WWE as there had been 5 title changes during the night. I did not, however, think this was a great show. I did like it, but only mildly, because the two matches I was looking foreward too (the IC title match and the Ladder match) were both very good. I did not think it was nearly as good or as well-rounded as Backlash and Judgment Day, but it held its own. Personally, I would not purchase this on dvd, but it is worth a rental. Matches are rated out of 5 stars (*****).
1. United States Title Match
Kofi Kingston (c) vs. MVP vs. Matt Hardy vs. William Regal
Fast paced match to start, but it was rather short and felt rushed. There were botched spots aplenty in this one, but they pulled out some nice moves as well. Overall this was fine and the guys worked hard, and the match did it's job by getting the crowd pumped up. **
2. No Holds Barred Intercontinental Title Match
Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Chris Jericho
Another great match from these two. The crowd wasn't particularly into it at first, but by the end they were going insane, which is a tremendous credit to the workers. The pace was superb and they did their usual great moves, and I thought they worked the No Holds Barred stipulation in nicely by letting the fans know it was there but not going overboard with gimmicks (all they used was a steel chair). The finish was also brilliant and allows for this fued to continue. ***3/4
3. Samoan Strap Match
CM Punk vs. Umaga
There was not a lot of heat for this one. The match was OK and nothing more, but I will say the ending was good. Pretty average otherwise, not nearly as good as their match at Judgment Day. *3/4
4. ECW Championship Hardcore Triple Threat Match
Christian (c) vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. Jack Swagger
This was a pretty fun match, and was good for what it was. Fans wanted tables but they got trash cans and kendo sticks, and they used those two weapons for basically the entire match. Personally I thought it went a little long, but that's just me. Fans loved Tommy getting the win, and his celebration afterwards was really great. **1/2
5. Hog Pen Match
"Santina" Marella vs. Vickie Guerrero (w/ Chavo Guerrero)
I knew going in this was going to be bad, but this was SHOCKINGLY bad. They had an absolutely hideous match, one of the worst I've seen in years. Worst of all, with promos and the aftermath included, this probably wasted close to 20 minutes of ppv time. I want to hear someone from WWE try and justify fans paying money for this.- (negative) ***
6. WWE Championship Steel Cage Match
Randy Orton (c) vs. Big Dave Batista
This was the real shocker of the evening, as I did not think even for one second that Dave was going to win this match. Not to mention that he pinned Orton clean as a sheet in the middle of the ring after about 7 minutes of action. However, I do not have a serious issue with the length of the match, because for those 7 minutes it was all solid pro wrestling action instead of a long drawn out brawl. Again, this was too short to really be good, but for what it was I liked it. **1/4
7. Submission Match
John Cena vs. The Big Show
Very boring match. This was basically the exact same boring match they had last month, only there were no pin fall attempts and subsequent near falls. Big Show dominated Cena FOREVER with his slow plodding offense, and I was nearly dozing off. At the end, Cena tangled Show's foot in between the middle and bottom rope, which took care of the "t" in stf, and then he applied a crossface. Problem is, show's foot fell out and he had to pretend it was still there in that bent position. This was not good folks, I pray that this fued is over. 3/4*
8. World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match
Edge (c) vs. Jeff Hardy
Very good match, but not quite the classic I was expecting. They both worked really hard and tried some innovative moves, some of which were truly horrifying. Unfortunately they didn't have a whole lot of time because of all the other matches on the show, so they may have had to cut some things out. This match didn't blow me away like I thought it would, but like I said it was still very good and I was quite satisfied when it was over. The finish was also great. ***3/4
9. World Heavyweight Championship Match
Jeff Hardy (c) vs. CM Punk
Punk got a major mixed reaction coming out. Basically, Punk hit the GTS, hardy kicked out, place went insane, hardy rolled up Punk and Punk kicked out, place went nuts, then Punk hit another GTS for the pin, and the crowd died. The crowd was super into this untill the very end, and then there really wasn't a big pop for the title change. That being said, this was GREAT for the one minute that it lasted. (NR)
This show was a mixed bag. It was very newsworthy and interesting, because I really don't know where they are going from here. There were two great matches on the show and some fine little matches as well, but the middle of the card really dragged the show to a screeching halt, particularly the Hog Pen disaster and the Submission match. If you really enjoy gimmick matches then I'd consider picking this up, otherwise save your money and rent it for a rainy day. Overall I give this show a moderate thumbs up.

WWE WrestleMania 23 (2007) Review

WWE WrestleMania 23 (2007)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Jeff Hardy Vs. Matt Hardy Vs. King Booker Vs. Finlay Vs. C.M. Punk Vs. Mr. Kennedy Vs. Randy Orton Vs. Edge (Money In The Bank Ladder Match) - This was the opener for WM and it was pretty good. Last year's MITB was better but it did have one high spot with Jeff Hardy putting Edge through a ladder! It ends when Mr. Kennedy prevents C.M. Punk from reaching the briefcase and claims it himself. A good way to start off WM.
Kane Vs. The Great Khali - Got to give Kane credit, he tried to make Khali look awesome but just couldn't. Sad because Khali DOES have a good look but just no skill. He can't even make his basic moves look that painful. It did have a "nod" moment to WrestleMania III when Kane slammed Khali but that was it. Khali wins with his weak-a** version of the chokeslam.
Chris Benoit Vs. MVP (WWE U.S. Title Match) - This match proves that Benoit should be in the Hall Of Fame one day because he made MVP look very good. The best that I've seen him and helped him start the roll that he is on now. Ends when Benoit (after failing in several submission attempts at both the crossface and the sharpshooter) uses his flying headbutt to finish off MVP and retain the title.
NOTE: I wrote this review before the tragic events that took place between June 23-25 involving Chris Benoit. This match now makes me sad that such a talented individual will forever be known as a man that murdered his family. Despite the fact that doctors have now discovered that Chris Benoit had brain damage and that he may have had dementia which can lead to irrational actions (I know because a family member once tried to kill me as a child and he had similiar brain damage), his career will be overshadowed by this horrible tragedy.
The Undertaker Vs. Batista (World Heavyweight Championship) - Before I begin, let me say that I agree with most fans in that this match should've been last! All due respect to the fabulous WWE title match, this one deserved to go last.
Now, as for this match, this one was a sprint but a very good sprint! This has to be Batista's best match since his Hell In The Cell match with Triple H in 2005. These two hit power move after power move and kept coming back for more. I especially loved when "The Animal" powerslammed "The Dead Man" through the ECW commentator's table! Ends when UT gets his Tombstone piledriver. Great bout!
ECW Originals Vs. The New Breed - This one was okay but the re-match two nights later on ECW On SciFi was much better as it was under hardcore rules! Overall, not bad but being that this was WrestleMania, this one is the one that SHOULD'VE been under Hardcore rules.
Bobby Lashley Vs. Umaga - This was the "Battle Of The Billionares" match with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as the referee. The match was average but the storyline is what made it entertaining. Ends when Lashley spears Umaga after receiving a "Stunner" from Austin! From there, per pre-match stipulation, Vince McMahon gets shaved bald! Donald Trump also gets stunned by Austin after the shaving.
Ashley Vs. Melina (WWE Women's Title Match) - Weakest match on the card without a doubt and I am not saying this because its the women because there has been some great women's title matches at PPV's. This wasn't one of them! About the only thing good about this match is that Melina retained the belt and seeing all those beautiful women get inside the ring and rumble!
Shawn Michaels Vs. John Cena (WWE Title Match) - This match I have to say was, for the most part, dominated by Shawn. Cena is, at best, a compentent grappler with plenty of charisma. Shawn has as much charisma plus more talent! I didn't expect much from this bout BUT this one I really enjoyed though I still feel UT/Batista should've been last!
As for this match, it was a good way to end the card. I personally think Shawn should've won this one BUT business is business.
This set also comes with plenty of extras including the Hall Of Fame show on Disc 3! Worth a buy!

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.

WWE WrestleMania 21 (2005) Review

WWE WrestleMania 21 (2005)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
WM 19 didn't have it, WM 20 didn't have it, but last night, in front of 21,000 plus fans, John Cena and Batista defeated JBL and HHH to become champs of their own brands. This was an awsome ppv, the crowd was electric all night and the matches, several especially were worth it [Except the sumo match in my opinion]
Eddie Guerreroe vs. Rey Mysterio: What a great way to kick off the show, two of the best Latino wrestlers in WWE history use high flying and fast paced action to start it off. Rey wins again and Eddie shows a little teasing of turning on Rey, but then shakes his hand in a great match. 8.5/10
Edge vs Kane vs Benoit vs Jericho vs Christian vs. Shelton B.
Ladder Match
#1 contendership:
Wow, wow, wow. Just a famous match that people will remember for years to come. The things these guys did to each other took guts and preserverance. Shelton giving Edge the T-Bone suplex off a ladder, Benoit giving Kane a headbutt off a ladder.
Shelton running up the side of a ladder that was laying on another ladder to throw Jericho off was phenominal. Then Edge and Christian gave a modified conchairto to Kane with ladders, followed by Shelton jumping out of the ring to land on at least 5 other guys, Tomko included.
Edge wins after hitting Benoit with a chair and taking him out. Benoit's arm suffered the most after Kane gave him several arm crunches with a ladder on it. Truly a great match. 10/10
Randy Orton vs. Undertaker
Legend vs. Legend Killer.
Its official, 13-0 is now the new record that the Undertaker has. A great match again, with Randy reversing a chokeslam into a RKO, then his dad interfering, but the Undertaker prevailing was a great exciting match.
I saw a lot of signs that said 12-1 over the past few weeks, but let me just say no one can beat the Undertaker at a WM, just get used to that! 9/10
Trish Stratus vs. Christy Hemme
Women's championship:
I can't say this was great, but props to Christy to actually going out there with not much experience in front of millions of people and actually trying to be good. As you could tell, Trish wins to continue her streak.
I had a feeling Lita might have been a big factor, but she just mostly glared at Trish the entire time. 6/10
Eugene/Hassan/Hogan segment:
Just to pass the time and give the Hulkster to pump up the crowd. Eugene came out and started talking about his favorite moment [When midgets attacked King Kong Bundy] Then Hassan came out to beat up Eugene and make a WM moment of his own.
Then Hogan to the rescue, cleaning house and posing in front of a televised American flag. Funny, and memorable stuff.
Kurt Angle vs. HBK:
30 minutes of pure enjoyment and captivating action. All the near falls made the crowd shout and yell like crazy. A bad spot when HBK tried to jump on Angle through an announce table, but the table didn't break.
Lots of chain wrestling, near falls, a great sweet chin music by HBK, and a moonsault gone bad, followed by chemistry and drama made this the greatest match on the card!
Other than that, this is definately the match of the year, hell the match of the decade! Angle wins after making HBK tap out, only becoming the third man to make him tap. [The first was Jericho, the second Benoit] 11/10
Piper's Pit
Stone Cold Steve Austin as Guest:
Didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. Some good trading of words by both men, with Piper making fun of the crowd with the what chants. Then Carlito of all people comes out and makes fun of them.
Piper gets beat up by Carlito by about 10 seconds as Austin watched, then Austin and Piper beat up Carlito. They celebrate with beers and then Austin stuns Piper. Some funny stuff, would have made a great Raw also!
Sumo Match: Why, why, WHY was this match on so late in the card? I certainly didn't want to see two big men in practically no clothing fight after one of the greatest one on one matches in history, or after the awsome ladder match. Anyway Akebono wins and Big Show falls to the outside of the ring. 5/10
WWE Championship
JBL vs. John Cena:
The streak is over! We have a new Smackdown champion! The match was also a disappointment, only 15 minutes, maybe even less long. Cena hits the FU out of nowhere and pins JBL. I am not complaining though. Good match, for the ending, not great. 7/10
World Heavyweight Championship
Batista vs. HHH
Motorhead played HHH's music as he entered from a trap door in the stage. Motorhead wasn't as good as they were from WM 17, but the entrance was still cool.
The crowd erupted when Batista won. HHH got busted wide open, Ric Flair got spinebustered, and Batista is the new world champ. About twenty minutes of big man fighting, lots of struggle holds and knocking people down. Batista celebrated as the crowd went crazy. 9/10
This year's WM was definately worth it, especially for the Angle/HBK match, Orton/Undertaker match, the Ladder match, and the two world title matches just for the endings. I can't wait for May 10th!
I just got the DVD also and what a bunch of extras they have:
All nine parodys of the several of the most famous scenes in movie history.
When Harry met Sally
Taxi Driver
Pulp Fiction
Braveheart

These were the best ones [my opinion]
They also have the highlights of Kurt Angle, Shawn Michales, and the Undertaker. With HBK they showed how his Sweet Chin Music kick can be devastating. With Angle they showed the Ankle lock, and with the Undertaker, they showed all his 12 wins at WM going from 12 to 1 backwards.
The extra Battle Royal is a great thing to add to this DVD. Funny moment when 5 or 6 guys hold down Viscera when Scotty gives him the worm. Heidenreich rips open the padding on the top turnbuckle, and Akio gets face planted on the steel steps after being tossed out of the ring! Booker T wins for Smackdown 8.5/10
They also have when the WWE takes over Hollywood Boulevard with a ring and matches galore. Cena even stops traffic and gets in trouble with the cops. Finally, they have a two and a half hour induction ceremony of the Hall of Fame [But you guys already know that don't ya?]
This is a great DVD to add to your collection.

Cyber Sunday kicks off the event with a WWE.com exclusive Cyber Sunday Preview match between Shelton Benjamin and his opponent voted in by the WWE fans who is R-Truth.The match was too short but I liked it because it was free unlike the rest of the Pay-Per-View.Any it was an exciting match for the United States Championship.Shelton Benjamin wins and retains the title.I give this match a 7 out of 10.
The first official match was a No Holds Barred match as voted in by WWE fans between Rey Mysterio and Kane.This was a very entertaining match and Rey shows everybody escpecially Kane how he is not dead.Rey wins.7 out of 10.
The second match was for the ECW Championship between the champ Matt Hardy and as voted in by the WWE fans Evan Bourne.A great match no one knew who was going to win but the experience difference took part in the decison.Matt Hardy wins and retains the ECW title.Matt after the match said that anytime Evan wants a rematch he has it.But that wont be happening soon because Evan is out with an injury.Great match.7.8 out of 10.
The third match as voted by the WWE fans Miz and Morrison vs Cryme Tyme.I didn't care for this.Miz and Morrison win.6 out of 10.
The fourth match was between Santino and as voted in by the WWE fans the Honky Tonk Man for the Intercontinental Championship.Stupid match.Honky wins by disqualification.3 out of 10.
The fifth match was between The Undertaker and Big Show in a Last Man Standing match as voted in by the WWE fans.A great match.There were spots where I thought 'Taker was done for but he came back and won.8 out of 10.

The seventh match and the main event was between Chris Jericho and 'The Animal' Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship with the special referee being Stone Cold Steve Austin as voted in by the WWE fans.It was a fun match to watch with the other referee choices getting involved but Batista was able to beat Jericho even though Jericho hit Batista with the World Title belt.Batista finally wins the World Heavyweight Championship he has tried to win back for almost a year.A stellar main event.8.5 out of 10.

WWE: Backlash 2009 (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
ECW Championship
Christian Vs. Jack Swagger - This was a solid back and forth match. Christian and Swagger makes a good pair in the ring and if Swagger was trying to prove something here that he can perform on a big stage well, he certainly did that. Lots of near falls with the crowd getting into it. Solid opening contest and a great match to start the show. 4/5
This segment of the show I recommend checking out. After the opening match, Christian runs into Edge backstage. Edge and Christian has words with each other which may lead to something in the future between them.
Chris Jericho Vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat - Another great back and forth match. This is the match we should've got at WrestleMania. Yes, Steamboat is up there in age so some of his moves were off but he performed a solid wrestling match with Chris Jericho. Again, the crowd was into it and they were behind Steamboat all the way. This match has some nice counters but in the end it was Chris Jericho with his Walls Of Jericho making Steamboat tap out. 3.5/5
C.M. Punk Vs. Kane - This wasn't a bad match either. Kane and C.M. Punk previously fought on Raw but this match was much better. A couple minutes into the match Kane starts to target the mid-section of C.M. Punk. Kane and Punk put on a good effort and they delivered a well paced match. After a series of consecutive kicks and punches from Punk, Kane counters with a big chokeslam on Punk for the win. Without question, Kane derseved this win. 3.5/5
"I Quit" Match
Matt Hardy Vs. Jeff Hardy - This was a good match. Possibably better then their match from WrestleMania because the psychology in this match was better played out. Not as brutal and violent as previous "I Quit" Matches but this was still a good match. Matt morely targets the leg of Jeff and at one point applying a figure four leg lock. Jeff put on a good performance and at one point delivering a Twist Of Fate to Matt on the floor. The ending was a bit too cheap but that doesn't take away from the good performance Matt and Jeff put on. 4/5
The Great Khali Kiss Cam - This was absolutely a big waste of PPV air time. Santino isn't entertaining and his persona as "Santina" is just ugly and horrendous. Just stupid. BATHROOM BREAK!
WWE Championship
Triple H, Batista, & Shane McMahon Vs. Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase, & Cody Rhodes - This was also a good match. Early in the match, HHH chases Orton up the ramp and Orton disappears for a little while leaving Rhodes and DiBiase by theirselves. However, Orton returns and from there the match picked up and became a fairly good and enjoyable match. I will not say this match is better then HHH's and Orton's WWE Title Match from WrestleMania but this match surely didn't disappoint. The suspense factor was there if HHH, Batista, and Shane were all on the same page. The finish was great and it was a good move to give Orton the WWE Title (something WWE should've done at WrestleMania). A very entertaining and good match. 4.25/5
Last Man Standing Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Edge Vs. John Cena - Tremendous match and by far the best match of the night. This match could have ended so many times. All the 10 counts were extremely close. I give props to John Cena in this match. He isn't the best wrestler but when the rule book is thrown out, he certainly knows how to put on a grade A match and he did that here. The match was built very well that holds a lot of finishers and escapes (some we haven't seen before) that includes some new innovative spots. Edge and Cena both has fantastic showings. They both produced a great and exciting World Title Match. The ending was great to set up the BigShow/Cena feud and to give Smackdown a new World Champion in Edge. Outside of their TLC Match from Unforgiven, this was the best Cena/Edge match. Match of the night. 5/5
Overall, this was a great Backlash event and is surpassed WrestleMania 25. Edge and Cena gave a great performance and their match stole the show. I recommend this event. A very good follow up to WrestleMania.

This was one of the better ppvs of 2007 and it showed. The card was pulled off and the booking was well done, which included the rise of the rated r superstar edge and the debut of the edgeheads, hawkins and ryder. Thanks for reading!
United States Championship
MVP vs. Rey Mysterio
This was one of my favorite matches of the night. Lots of highflying wrestling in this one and some good moves. Some false finishes and near falls make this one pretty exciting. One cool moment in this match is where rey pulled off a super hurricarana. While this match had lots of potenital, the ending ruined it where mvp got counted out because he couldn't beat rey. Once again, while a good opening bout, the ending just wasn't for me. Match Rating:4/5
CM Punk and Kane vs. Mark Henry and Big Daddy V
Overall, i wasn't really looking forward to this matchup, but this actually wasn't half bad. Big daddy v started out just pounding and dominating punk. Kane got the team back into the match for a while, but eventually v and henry picked up the victory. Match Rating:3/5
Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Kennedy
Match of the night right here. A lot of physicality and intense wrestling in this one. They both did a really nice job selling and focusing on their injures as hbk stomped and pounded on kennedy's hand and kennedy working on the bad back of hbk. Some good grapple moves and takedowns in this one as well. Kennedy used submissions to wear down michaels and every chance hbk could get, he pulled kennady's hand back and used some classic wrestling moves. A couple of good physical encounters on the outside and in the end, hbk got a sweet chin music from out of nowhere on kennedy. Match Rating:5/5
#1 Contenders Match for a WWE Championship shot at the Royal Rumble
Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy
These two had better matches in '08 like no mercy, but this left an impression for those future matches. Triple h was pushing and bullying around hardy in the opening moments, but hardy finnaly took advantage and gained some momentum after a hhh slap. Lots of back and forth action and some exciting, nice offense. These two tried everything to beat each other and when we all least expect it, hardy wins with a rollup out of the blue. Triple h was left shocked in the ring as hardy started climbing the ladder to main event success. Match Rating:4.5/5
Finlay vs. Great Khali
Finlay started his face run right about here. Overall, this was nothing special. Some comedy highlights with hornswaggle's interference on khali which led to the fighting irishman finlay defeating the giant khail. Match Rating:2.5/5
WWE Championship
Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho
This was the second coming of Y2J as he showed no ring rust in his first ppv match since summerslam 2005. Jericho and orton brought some good offense to the table as we see classic jericho, pulling of the walls of jericho and connecting with the lionsault. The ending was really suprising, when jbl interfered and costed jericho the match while he had the walls locked in on the legend killer. Overall the match was good, the ending was suprising, but it left me wanting more. Match Rating:4/5
Women's Championship
Beth Phoenix vs. Mickie James
Before the match, jillian came in and unfortunetly started to sing. Besides that, the match was decent as mickie fought hard against beth, but fell short. Match Rating:2.75/5
Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Batista vs. Edge vs. Undertaker
I really enjoyed the taker/batista fued of '07 and with edge added to the mix, the rivalry got more interesting. Numerous highlights of this match include, edge cowering from taker and batista in the opening moments, undertaker and batista tearing each other apart to get to the rated r superstar, edge taking advantage off of every move, and the debut of hawkins and ryder to provide the distraction. In the end, undertaker tombstoned batista and edge capitalized off of it by spearing taker and pinning batista to take home the world title once more. The triple threat match proved that the rated r superstar was the true ultimate oppertunist. Match Rating:4/5
Overall, i recommend this dvd because it is one of the better ppvs from 2007. A spectacular hbk/mr. kennady match, a physical hhh/hardy match and two good world title matches.
