OTL hasnt been the most enjoyable of shows in the past couple of years it has been around but I must admit I really really liked that show overall.
Enjoyable battle royal - Kidd had a great showing. Some sick bumps to the outside
Great tag match - the last sequence was incredible as you would expect between Kofi and Dolph
Divas match exceeded expectations
Decent enough IC match. Nothing wrong with it, nothing great.
CLASSIC DB VS Punk - Give me rematch now with DB winning and then 20000000000000 more matches after that
Meh fatal 4 way, WTF Ace/Cena and fun jobber matches inbetween. Congrats WWE the curse has lifted (IMO)

It's a Joke that Laurinatis beat Cena.

Too bad half the shit wasn't even promoted on their shows.

Actually, I remember enjoying last years. Mostly due to Christian/Orton though.

I guess. Found the majority of the show(Sans Bryan/Punk) completely dull. Which I guess is better than terrible which the last few OTLs have been.

Personally, I think Over the Limit is the new Great American Bash.

Battle Royal was fine I guess. Battle Royals are crap usually but this one was at the top end of the crap scale at least.
Tag title match was very good.
Divas match was a bit sloppy but better than I expected. Dead crowd though and my god they have to end the Layla experiment now, she gets ZERO crowd reaction. At least Beth got a small chant.
The 4 way was really boring until the last few minutes. Sheamus needs to drop the belt though, this title run has been a disaster.
The Brodus match was terrible. And why did I need to see Miz twice?
IC title match was...just kinda there. No heat, average match and the whole thing felt thrown together. Much like this show in fact.
Bryan and Punk was fantastic. Not quite MOTY but still excellent.
Main event went on forever and wasn't that funny. And this builds to a Big Show/Cena feud. Joy. Overall a mediocre show that will be forgotten in a few months.
EDIT: Forgot about Ryback match. It was...well, a Ryback match. Not exactly Steamboat vs Flair, but it was fine as a way to cool the crowd down.

My problem was the amount of odd/anticlimactic finishes.
- After some nice hope spots, Layla gets kicked in her knee to slow down the pace, randomly pops up and hits her finish to win.
- After the big finish-fest, Sheamus casually White Noises Jericho after everything died down a little bit and wins.
- The Punk/Bryan finish kanefused the hell out of me while watching it live because to me it looked like Bryan was pinning Punk and he had won. It just sort of came out of nowhere and left me like HUH? instead of YEAH! Though TBF, I assume a rematch will take place.

Brodus Clay and Ryback in squash matched I could skip on Raw.
The tag team match was good, as was the battle royal.
The divas match was better than expected, but then again, I don't expect much from Divas matches these days.
Christian/Rhodes I missed most of to let my dogs out. I like both guys, but I didn't feel anything special about this matchup.
The fatal 4 way was OK, but largely forgettable.
Ace/Cena was abhorent. A true abomination of wrestling.
Punk/Bryan was fantastic and the only match worth watching a second time.
In other words, this felt like a one-match show.

Fantastic show. I found myself surprisingly, astonishingly entertained.

I actually jumped out of my chair thinking Danial Bryan just won the WWE Championship (YES! YES! YES!), but I sat back down once I heard Cult of Personality playing. |

The show was not Wrestlemania, but it was not bad at all. |

Aside from Punk/Bryan I thought the show was pretty middling-to-poor. Says a lot when you have two guys pulling double duty and four matches are booked on the PPV itself.

I actually really liked the Fatal 4 Way. The finish was a bit off considering how fast paced the rest of the match was, but it worked great for me. Punk/Bryan was a classic, Rhodes/Christian was way too short but fine for what it was, Women's match was solid enough, Tag match was the best one in a while, and other stuff.
Can't stand Brodus or Ryback, and the main event was placed poorly and I didn't care for it...but outside of that, very solid show.
