Well, anyone who says that WWE doesn't know how to be interesting after last night is talking a lot of shite. Bryan winning MITB
and Punk winning the title (and not losing it to the MITB Match winner)? I doubt many people saw both of those coming. Well, I did in the Powerslam Predictions game
. (I also originally had Christian to win by DQ but changed it to Orton at the last minute
I would've got all six matches right if I hadn't changed my mind and
**** it up
again...)
Crowd was a hundred times better than the Capitol Punishment crowd and I knew Cena/Punk would get a great reaction, I just didn't quite expect
that level of noise. You rarely hear crowds cheer that loudly these days and that alone made the main event great. The outcome, where they teased both a 'Chicago screwjob' (thank god that didn't happen...) and Del Rio cashing in MITB, was great too. Now we can sit back and see what happens to the title....
Crowd seemed pretty pro-Christian as well, until Orton went apeshit after the match and hit the two RKOs. He seemed to be getting near-Punk levels of cheers. If only all crowds could get into WWE shows like that one. Nice to see Christian with the title again. Hopefully this is the start of a 'proper' reign'. I expect we'll get one more match between the two at Summerslam and hopefully that will be it. Or maybe Bryan cashes in on Christian on Smackdow? Who knows??
The two MITB matches were always going to be good. Can't really say too much other than my two predictions won and I'm glad that they did. It's a shame Sin Cara didn't have much of a chance to do some crazy stuff but I guess if you're going to be taken out of a match, do it the way he did
. That Powerebomb through the ladder was one of the bumps of the night. Maybe WWE didn't trust him enough not to kill someone (or himself) in the match...
That spot on top of the ladders after Del Rio removed Mysterio's mask was just chaos
.
It wasn't a classic by any means, but I thought even Henry/Big Show was an OK match. Every so often they try to make Mark Henry relevant and I'm thinking this time, they
might have done it. Him destroying Show's leg after thet match was a nice touch.
All in all, PPV of the year? It may well be. Very little to fault I though, other than my stupid last minute prediction change. Aaaargh!
