I really liked it. They had lots of ideas to keep that hour-long match from becoming boring. I also don't think Orton overacted, he is supposed to be my friend... oops... wrong match... I mean, he is supposed to be a complete psycho who sometimes completely loses it. Cena could have sold better, but apart from that, a very memorable match.

I dug it. Had a good time watching it and it stole my attention from Animal Crossing.
Now, just spread that around the roster.

Count me in as an appreciater. I'd consider it around a four-star match.
There were a couple lulls that I think they could've picked up on, but even so we're talking about 50 minutes of solid action stretched to 60 so nothing really irritating.
They threw pretty much everything they could at each other, the big spots were brutal and/or fun and both guys worked extremely hard. I don't know what Meltzer is on about saying the crowd were only alive for the last few mins as they reacted well throughout whenever the pace was brought up and kept interested during the rest. It felt like a proper feud ender.
I was also pleased at the reaction Cena's hardway blood got. All the months of blood-free wrestling made this, which would've been shrugged off by fans in previous years as not much, feel like a much bigger deal. In that respect, even if it was an accident, it's a great thing.
I think they've probably had a few too many matches together but then I could say that about Rock & Triple H back in the day as well. At the end of the day certain matches are going to be more memorable, and watched, than others and this is a worthy capper to their battles.
As always, I remain baffled by some of the vehement abuse both Cena and Orton still get, in the face of their careers so far. I guess some people are just never going to like peanut butter so matter how good it might be, if I'm not stretching the metaphor to breaking point.
