No one kicks out of the FU it's like kicking out of Hogan's legdrop in the 80's. I have no problem with the ending. Miz says "hi." Barrett also says hi.

Know what the sad thing is? R-Truth might absorb the majority of the blame as to why this PPV did horrible numbers. I think that's pretty inevitable, sadly.

Which worked as a distraction for the Attitude Adjustment. Getting doused with water or soda like that will cause a shock like that. If you don't believe me, just try it. Really? A shock by getting hit with water... Ok even if I were to buy that, how do you explain Cena taking 3 of R-Truths finishers then just shruging it off to run and throw R-Truth back in the ring and hit the AA, then acting like he just didn't get a 20 min beatdown? You might have a gripe with the 3 finishers deal, but I can't say I recall anyone losing to the Lie Detector or Axe Kick in ages. There are more like signatures at this point.

The biggest problem is just the placement. You can't have that be your ME. Orton/Christian should have gone on last. Crowd still goes home happy, and you get an angle (Christian is pissed because he's screwed, then gets beheaded) to end the show.
But, it's Smackdown.

Truth is entertaining as a heel but even then, I never saw him as a main event player. He should be the heel equivalent of Santino instead.
So... Cena vs. Punk or Cena vs. Del Rio?

Yet Cena just shrugged all of them off, and is able to manhandle R-Truth into a AA, when R-Truth had minimal damage to him, and has been countering all of Cena's moves previously,

Let's just all expect every Cena match to reach a new level of stupidity every single time.

I wasn't expecting R-Truth to win at all, but it was just a silly finish to a really slow, mediocre match.

He'll get a third of it. another third will be on Christian. Another third will be on Keith Stone. And the rest will fall on the bad Obama impersonator. Nah, the rest will fall on Zack Ryder, even though he wasn't featured in the PPV at all. "Take that, internet!"

It was a bad match and a ridiculous finish. I don't think any more can really be said about that. I don't think anyone sane actually expected Truth to win. Does that feel like a $45 ME? Not in the least. I wouldn't even give you $5 for this PPV, seeing as to how the only serviceable matches were Christian/Orton and Kofi/Dolph, and even THOSE had screwy finishes. Stuff like THAT is what starts killing off your PPV gates. Just ask WCW. Yeah, I'd say a finish that bad is a "shark jump", but no one's buying the shows anyone, so only a limited number of people get pissed off, and hey, next month's there's ladders and probably a huge swerve! If that doesn't goose buyrates, they're screwed.

He put a 20 min beatdown on Cena and was celebrating until the fatal splash in the face.

Well, if those wankers are kicking out of it, then I've got nothing. Still it's Cena's standard match formula why are people still surprised by it?

Some of you are acting like you've never seen a Cena match before. How is any of that shocking?
That stupid Obama crap and that dead Swagger match aside, I thought it was a pretty good ppv.

But yeech, don't put that on last. I think the way they think now, they'd have Trips/Booker go on last instead of Brock/Angle.

EVERY match with the exception of two undercard matches (Del Rio/Show and Miz/Riley) has already happened before...on television...for free...most of them within the last several weeks. I'm sorry, but anyone who paid 45 dollars for that with high expectations was in a bad spot to begin with.

Ppvs are FORTY FIVE dollars now? Holy s***. Right?! Its f***ing insane. They aren't putting out a product worthy of that price and shouldn't have gotten the money to start with, IMO.

I marked for Mark Henry. Show absolutely deserved that.
Like, Show couldn't even get mad. He was just "yeah, I deserved that, I sure hope I can beat ADR"

Know what, I'm glad Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes or Ted DiBiase weren't on this show.
Sin Cara was, because he was sitting with the Bella Twins.
