I give both guys a ton of credit. Cena sold like crazy the whole match and even in his second straight defeat, Umaga still looks like an unstoppable monster.
I can't imagine even the most grizzled of Cena haters can say this match sucked. By far the best undercard match of the night.

I'll say this much, both guys busted their asses, and I can't fault them in the least in that respect.
My problem was the cornball "ruptured spleen" crap they were feeding to parlay the "underdog" bit. That's nothing against the work the guys put in, as the effort was obvious from both guys, I'm just the type of fan who feels that a stupid storyline twist can take away from the effort put forth by the performers. Maybe it's just me, though.

This sounds like it was the Match of the Night, shockingly enough. I suppose the match was right up both guy's alleys. Nothing really fancy, just brawling.

Yeah, hell of a brawl. Cena has had them before, he's a good brawler. But then him keeping the title made me enjoy it in the end less.

Incredible Match. Cena can't wrestle, but he can make a match exciting.
Umaga still looked like a monster even though he lost.

The thing about Cena is this. He's very talented. It's just, the crap he's given is unbelievable. How many times can one overcome the odds before it gets ridiculous.

I always like how guys selling rib or stomach injuries put a few loops of tape around them and the announcers say they've "protected the area".
LoL, it's a few rolls of tape guys, that ain't protecting anything. You usually tape something in an athletic sense to keep it steady and in place (such as a turned ankle), not to "protect" you from hard repeated blunt shots to the area.

I'm sure tomorrow he'll stop selling it, then again he sold the attack by Finlay/Booker/Regal for weeks, so I'm sure he'll still have bandages on.
Good match even if the ending wasn't in doubt.

Going into the match, I thought it was going to be a disaster, but have to say that it was a really good match, I was into it, they did deliver

They never said that he had a "ruptured spleen" on TV, they just refered to it as internal injuries, which is somewhat buyable. I was impressed with the match, but still don't like Umaga in the main event scene.

It was a good match. Although like others said it didn't prove anything to me. He's a good brawler and he did that so it worked. I really think Cena would have been great in ECW with Paul Heyman hiding hi s weakness since RAW Creative are doing a shitty way of doing that and lot of ECW matches in the main event were brawls. See the thing that took away from the match a little was the fake injury and how ridiculous it was for Cena to not lose the match but whatever.

The ending shocked me. I expect some bullcrap ending but, that was amazing. It was a great match and didn't kill off Umaga (like some thought) and kept Cena looking real strong.
