Cracking PPV.  Orton vs Kane was a good opener.  Despite not enjoying their feud (promos, segments etc)  The 2 PPVs matches have exceeded my expectations.

Ziggler then made Clay look great.  Ziggler seems to be stuck in midcard limbo, despite working like crazy, maybe the guy just sells to well.  He made that headbutt of Clay's look out of this world, best bump machine in the company #pushziggler

A smart way to get Rhodes his belt back, save face for Big Show and get a pop out of the fans by delivering the expected bumps post match.  That second bump through a table looked nasty.  Big Show's face when he stood on the table was priceless.

Sheamus and Bryan had the match they should of had at Wrestlemania.  Overall some very good nearfalls and drama.  Only complaint was Bryan getting DQ'd, he could have stopped before the ref got to 5, then started again, stopped and so on, like guys often do, I mean he could have done that damage, sans getting DQ'd to do it, if he'd of hit Sheamus arm with a chair, that would have made sense.  Also the ending seemed kind of anti-climatic.

Ryback = Goldberg = Terminator = I find him entertaining but he doesn't seem in the least bit over, which is a shame, really liking the backstage onlooking gimmick thing they have going on.  He's squashed enough no names now.  He could go through no mark roster members next.  I'm sure my personal favourite Heath Slater is ready and waiting :)

Punk vs Jericho was another great match, better than their 'Mania battle.  I really thought Jericho had it when Jericho hit the codebreaker onto the steel chair, until Booker told me that's it, new champion, then I kind of guessed not.  So many nearfalls and great spots in this one, definately my favourite match of the night.

New Divas Champ....who cares?  I honestly thought it was McCool at first, always associate her with that music

You'd struggle to find a better way of Lesnar losing and still looking strong, but it still annoyed me, he should have won.  That aside though, it was a cracking battle, although the blood stoppages, cut checking still gets on my nerves after years of them just not bothering.

Overall top show!
