Capitol Punishment - Money In The Bank

[Madagascar Fred]

compare the June & July PPV's

CP was treated like a filler show:
- Truth was being pushed well (deservingly so), but nobody in the world thought he'd stand a chance to win the title
- Swagger vs. Bourne treated as a "bonus match"
- fake Obama skits and awful speech
- Kofi/Ziggler match nr. 381234 and Punk/Rey match nr. 341254
- Alberto vs. Big Show was rather material for RAW or SD, with all the Mark Henry shenanigans
- 2 title changes (Zeke & Dolph winning) that weren't too noteworthy

MITB was like a blockbuster event:
- 2 spectacular MITB matches
- Punk vs. Cena in the best storyline of the year, putting on a 30 minute clinic full of drama & suspense, in Punk's hometown in his supposedly last WWE match nonetheless
- Christian finally beats Orton here (in hilarious fashion)

funny how PPV's are that different, only one month in between - loved that period though

Yeah, Capitol Punishment seemed really half-cooked, and then Money In The Bank was surely the best PPV of the year and potentially the PG Era.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

It certainly may be the biggest turnaround in quality between PPVs that you could possibly find.

Interestingly, Summerslam was like a mix of the two.

Like CP, SS had "bonus" add-on matches, i.e. the 6 man tag, and stupid bits, like CeeLo Green's performance. Like MITB, it had some good matches, like Punk v Cena.

Cena is not my favorite wrestler, but both PPV matches he and Punk had were solid and really enjoyable. That wasn't only due to CM Punk either - Cena played his role well. I thought they had great chemistry.
