WWE Over the Limit - May 22nd 2011

Random Thoughts....

R-Truth won clean?  Really?  Over Rey Mysterio, the guy who refuses to job to virtually everyone and when he does the guy has epically cheated.  Really happy Truth won, clearly they have faith in his new persona, which is a good call, he got plenty of heat.  The finish did seem a bit anti-climatic though.  And I swear this pisses me off no end, 4 guys calling the match, not a single one could name his finisher, it just seems shoddy and takes away from his finisher.  Research dammit!

Sin Cara's finish against Chavo just seemed....random....botched....a **** up headscissors lets wrap the match a bit early?

I liked the Wade vs Zeke match, 'til the finish surprisingly decent, I can understand the finish, first match of the feud and all, at least The Corre is looking strong again.

Punk to the New Nexus Job Squad "Walk it off....." I laughed out loud with that one, priceless stuff, CM is great.  The tag title match was alright, nothing to write hope about.  Seems they are still looking to the Mason vs Punk feud when he questioned whether he cared about the members or not (he clearly doesn't remember the pre-Wrestlemania promo when he said he didn't, either that or he wasn't watching tv).  Also, don't let him talk again, his acting backstage, was awful (hilariously so I might add...but still).

Christian vs Orton was a cracking match, this slow burn heel turn with Christian is pretty decent.

Cole....Hart....Eve.....La..... Yeap I'm bored now.  Hopefully that feud is all over and done.

Divas Title match but no Kharma... Who booked that?

Main Event was an improvement on the previous matches, but overall it was still lacking for me, maybe it was the telegraphed outcome (even with the attempted swerve finish), Cena gets pretty much killed for the whole match and then being Cena shakes it off, oh well.

Overall an ok show, nothing special.

Miz was actually looking quite badass during that match, it was probably his most credible performance as a 'tough guy'. Until the end that is. Cena just had to whip him a few times and put him in the STF?...

Orton/Christian was great, like their Smackdown match from the other week. I'm just waiting for Christian to finally snap and beat the hell out of Orton.

I know the feud has dragged on too long, but it was actually nice to see Lawler finally get Cole. I was expecting either Austin, Swagger or Kharma to come out at the end and force him to kiss Lawler's foot, so Bret was a bit of a pleasant surprise. We even got a Sharpshooter!

Agree with Hammy, Truth won? Cleanly?! Excellent. I'm quite enjoying his 'non music' and his rants at "little Jimmy". The finish seemed to come out of nowhere, I was just expecting Rey to grab the rope at the end seeing as Truth pushed him towards the ropes. Does Truth's finisher have a name?

Thought the show was quite OK. Better than just standard OK I guess.

Was Ok for me.  Undercard matches weren't awful or anything.  I would have given it more time for both Rtruth-Mysterio and Sin Cara vs Chavo.  Christian vs Orton was great.  I didn't mind Cole-Lawler since they kept it short and we got appearance from JR and Bret Hart.

I hated the Main Event though.  It was just too damn long and when you add in the stupid false finish and the Super Cena comeback, that made it a chore to watch.  They should have went with a simple brawl type match since it was an I quit match.  Far too shitty to given over a half hour.  It was like watching some slow torture.
