Great show up until Punk V Jericho which was disappointing, constant near falls are f***ing boring now because they've been overused so much.
The opening match was good, the Divas match was one of the best divas matches I can ever remember, Del Rio v Ziggler was perfect, Team RKNO V The Shield was boring. I diddn't even bother watching 3 stages of hell

My Sky Box gave out last night so had to watch a replay today but I thought it was a really good PPV.
IC Title Match - well worked and a clever finish. Curtis Axel winning the belt his dad carried with such distinction on Father's Day was also a very nice moment, especially when he looked to the sky with tears in his eyes.
Divas title Match - One of the best Divas matches in a long time. I enjoyed this and nice to see AJ finally win it.
US Title Match - one of the weaker matches on the card, but I liked the finish and Ambrose was made to still look strong.
World Heavyweight Title match - best match of the night. Very clever booking that I did not see coming. Ziggler's sell job was as ever second to none, but this was his finest work yet. AJ screaming, ADR kicking the Divas title when he wasn't booting Dolph's head - it was all classic stuff. I didn't even mind Dolph losing because they made him look damn near invinsible. Double turn all but certain, and I also think it is no coincidence how many times the Bret v Stone Cold WM13 match was mentioned during the night which was (in a loose way) similarly booked. Never saw this coming as the match of the night which made it even better.
RVD's Return announced - great news, and the crowd constantly chanting RVD will do him no harm with the office.
CM Punk v Chris Jericho - Punk looked a little breathless at times, but I thought he was (at least in part) selling the "ring rust" and self doubt following losing the title, losing at WM and having two months off. The Wolverine look works for him, and I enjoyed the match especially the crowd being so hot. Picked up a slight sense of foreboding at times that there could be a Punk/Heyman break up in the offing, but we shall see. Whereas it was for me the worst of the three Punk v Jericho matches it was still a good match, and thought the last five mins and the finish were excellent.
Tag Team title Match - should have been Bryan v Orton rather than teaming them up, but a decent match if nothing special. I hope they have Orton turn on Bryan rather than the other way around.
Three Stages of Hell - not great but not awful. The crowd was quite dead for the ambulance segment where they seemed to spend all of their time pulling parts off the vehicle rather than trying to win. The finish was also telegraphed.
All in all a very good PPV - with some excellent moments and a few surprises.

Intercontinental title - fun but I had no emotional interest. Gutted to see Wade lose the belt to a man I never want to see on my TV. Cool finish spot though. 6/10.
Divas title - impressive showing, great storytelling, great finish and references to the last few weeks in ring. What you want out of a WWE match. 7/10.
US title - Kane as a face in this run makes for confusing times, he should not be the guy being dominated for 65% of the match. It felt a bit clumsy overall, as much of a fan I am of Ambrose & Kane. Average and sloppy, fan support for Ambrose made up for it somewhat. 5/10.
World heavyweight title - GREAT. I love ADR, I really like Ziggler, just like the earlier Divas title match it told a clear story and damn, I felt for Ziggler. Glad that ADR won the belt but I want to see Dolph take it back. Job done, great match, brutal head kicks. 8/10.
CM Punk vs Chris Jericho - bad. If I wanted to see the same Chris Jericho vs CM Punk match done at half pace with messed up spots I'd play WWE 13 thanks very much. Chris Jericho in ring and out is an absolute dud since his return. 4/10. If it wasn't for Punk being one of my favourite guys I'd have rated it much lower. Too many kick outs for what amounts to a nothing match. Please, end a 'big match feel' match with one finisher for once, Punk/Jerko.
Tag team title - Match of the night. AGAIN, like the WHC & DC matches it told a clear story, add in damned fine wrestling by all 4 men and you're onto a winner. Should have been the main event. Fans going insane for D-Bry as per usual. 8/10.
Main event - terrible/stupid. I don't blame Cena/Ryback though, 3 match stipulations which usually amount to absolutely garbage matches with two guys with not much chemistry in ring = idiotic. Cena wins, no surprise, dullest way to end the PPV. Boo-urns. 3/10.
Overall: 3 good to great matches, disappointing Punk return, fun RVD announcement, progress on a few key story arcs, two outright disappointing wrecks. As it measures out it's probably a 6/10.
