What a garbage champion Cena is being booked as. I swear to Christ, Goldberg wasn't booked to be as dominant. I can buy Goldberg in the role He actually looks like an unstoppable badass

I was on page 107! YAHHOOOOEY! And smurf Cena, and the stupid ass booking they've been doing. HHH is going to be the one to beat him, after every single goddamn mothersmurfer on the roster has tried and failed, thus proving once and for all that HHH>the rest of the WWE combined. What a garbage champion Cena is being booked as. I swear to Christ, Goldberg wasn't booked to be as dominant. Cena isn't dominant. He has to muster his last ounces of strength to overcome the odds every time. [/kayfabe mark-feed bullcrap]

JBL cheated to win. It's not the same thing as OVERCOMING TEH ODDZ ad nauseum.

to be fair at least Cena didn't overcome the odds so much as just won a wrestling match clean

One of the things that really annoy me about Cena is that for someone who's style is described as ground and pound he can't even throw a goddamn decent punch.

it's become WCW Great undercard - S*** main events Quoted for truth. And this will be the end of the WWe...think about it...REALLY think...they are takeing the path of Early 98 WCW.. I'll do a column or something....elaborating. Screw Cena...I'm just fed up Its stale beyond belief...I'll watch TNA now... Yep.... I really am loseing it. But everyone here needs to admit that Cena's reign is one of the worst in history...I admit its had good matches...but the build ups have been terrible, and his promos are so predictable...I literally mouthed out what he said...I think I have an audio recording somewhere. Now the casual viewers are starting to catch on....f***ing morons.. Either way...I'll return when Hunter takes the belt off him.

Well after reading the results on the Torch, I'm glad this is another PPV I've decided not to care about/watch.

What a garbage champion Cena is being booked as. I swear to Christ, Goldberg wasn't booked to be as dominant. I can buy Goldberg in the role He actually looks like an unstoppable badass I can name three guys who, though looking more the "monster" role, weren't booked nearly as strong as Cena the Unstoppable: Bill Goldberg (wCw) Brock Lesnar (WWE) Kane (WWE) How f***ed up is that, when Cena is booked to be more unstoppable than ANY of those motherf***ers?

Firstly, can someone please, please PLEASE make me a .gif of Regal's dancing so that I can use it as my avatar?
Secondly, THE ONLY TIME I HAVE EVER WATCHED A PPV LIVE...
...AND NOT EVEN KHALI LOST HIS DAMN BELT?
As far as Orton is concerned...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Well, here's my blow-by-blow review of the PPV, not necessarily in order.
Finlay vs. Kane - Decent match, decent length. Nothing to write home about. Made it very obvious that Kane is no longer Kane in any sense, as old school Kane wouldn't get injured ribs at all, let alone have them affect him, etc. The guy kicked out of two tombstones at Wrestlemania XIV or whichever one it was fer chrissakes.
IC Title Match - A pretty good match all round, I didn't really mind that Kennedy didn't win the IC belt because Umaga is growing on me a hell of a lot.
Divas battle royal - W00t for Beth winning, she is shaping up to be the best diva the WWE has got. But it being a battle royal, none of the decent wrestlers - e.g. her and Mickie and Melina to an extent - really got to show their talents. And I've remembered why I hate women's wrestling, because every time one of them got thrown out of the ring I winced, because practically NONE of them can take a bump properly and I got scared that every last one of them was hurting themselves. But, Beth won, and the fact that she could kick my ass and probably benchpress me has made her my new crush.
Rey vs. Chavo - Is it me or did Rey cover himself in silver body paint because he's not in the best shape for his return? Maybe he's just off the gas after the Benoit thing. As for the match, it was pretty good, unfortunately ended up being virtually the same match as Kane/Finlay but with better, more high-flying moves. Still a good match, though.
ECW Title Match Nitro vs. Punk - Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? When Nitro won the match with that shoddy pin, and it was only what, seven minutes into the match? Utterly ridiculous, because until it ended in such a crappy way that was shaping up to be match of the night. Punk and Morrison have hella chemistry and Morrison is shaping up to be a real world champion. I didn't mind Morrison winning, I minded how he won.
Steve Austin vs. MVP drinking contest/Stunner - Presumably Austin was all over the spoilers? I deliberately didn't read many of them, I just kinda haphazardly found out that Khali was 'definitely dropping the belt' and all this other crap that turned out not to be true. But if he wasn't in the spoilers, then it's proof that WWE can still keep a secret. Anyway, I marked the hell out for Austin despite his giant beer gut. As for MVP, he is fast becoming one of the best all-round-workers in the company, both as a wrestler and on the mic. He has charisma, he's a great heel, and he practically shot on the PPV, saying that no-one buys a ticket to see the divas. I gotta say I found it amusing when Matt and MVP were face to face because their identikit facial made it look like Matt was looking into a funhouse mirror called 'what if I was black?'
Trips vs. Booker - Another match that seemed to end ridiculously quickly, but I must say it's good to have Hunter back and I dig his new tights. Plus I'm glad the proper beard and 'tache are back.
Khali vs. Batista - Khali totally surprised me in that he actually got a few things right. He genuinely is improving. Don't get me wrong, he's still terrible. But a few of his moves - the chokebomb, his clotheslines, a few other things - are actually pretty great now. And I never thought I'd say this, but Batista is growing on me as well. It seemed like Batista was actually carrying Khali in this match because he really seemed to sell everything pretty well and make it believable, put it over. He impressed me, they both did. But ultimately another disappointment as it makes no sense for the biggest guy in the company to be a chickenshit heel with a steel chair.
Cena vs. Orton - BOOOOOOOOOOOOO-URNS. Shame about the ending, but other than that it was a hell of a match. When my mum gets up tomorrow I'm going to RKO her through the coffee table out of sheer rage.
I think that it was somewhat of a comedy of errors, this PPV. It wasn't worth the money because most of what happened didn't really take most of the feuds anywhere. No titles changed hands, nothing really happened. Punk, 'Tista and possibly Orton are all going to get title shots again for weak reasons, except Orton might get booted out in favour of Cena facing someone else, whoever the hell that's going to be - there's no-one left.
Aside from the endings of the matches, I really liked this PPV. I think it's the best they've done in quite a few months and definitely better than last year's, which was alright but not great.
Oh, and everyone who whinges about Vince booking himself in sexual angles with the Divas...I think tonight he paid his dues. Not only did he make out with Mae Young, but he said he liked it!

to be fair at least Cena didn't overcome the odds so much as just won a wrestling match clean Cena didn't over come the odds of being dropped head first on a chair last week, facing unstoppable monster who wore him down on Monday, getting dominated all threw this match to where everyone not on here thought he was finally going to lose and possible having a concussion from said attack last week and Orton tonight?
