Thought from a "wrestling" standpoint, it was a solid show.
If anyone on the roster should have 2 matches on a PPV it
should be Dolph Ziggler, he has come a long way and in-ring is one of the most enjoyable to watch these days. I definately expected Swagger/Ziggler to lose and pretty much with that exact finish, only thing that mildly surprised me was Ryder not winning, I thought he'd come down while Ziggler was out of it and score and quick victory, I guess Mason Ryan will get the belt instead, awesome! (Cheap WWE Game pop...). I think one of the best things with Ziggler is his selling, take something as simple as Kingston doing that monkey flip, he flew and sold it like crazy. Or look to RAW a few weeks ago and Hugh Jackman punching him, when he tweeted he had a hairline fracture, I believed him the selling was that good.
Beth vs Eve was decent for a womens match, yet NOBODY seemed to care, for the most part very much a hear a pin drop match, which was a shame, the closing sequence had some good near falls.
As good as a Sheamus push is (especially in WWE Game terms, yay!) seeing Christian crushed again is a damn shame, this feud, as with Christians feud with Orton, overall seems to onesided, at least where it matters, which is on PPV. Sheamus has won cleanly twice and on the other PPV taken Christian out with a Brogue Kick while he was begging for "One More Match".
I think the telegraphed the outcome of the Rhodes match as soon as the IC Title was NOT on the line, didn't stop it being a good match but when the outcome is that obvious its annoying.
The tag match was one of the worst matches on the card for me, which considering who was involved, it was a shame, Triple H seems likes he's lost a step. Is the finisher called "Little Jimmy's Finale"
Now that I like. Nash looks like he has been working out, he seemed to be in the best shape and most mobile since he's returned, although thats not hard, that Jacknife looked like it legit hurt Trips, or he sold damn well.
They definately found a way to make the Show vs Henry match fun, the old, lets just break the ring trick, heck I never thought that match could get such a loud "Holy
****" chant. It protects both guys and sets up a rematch for next month too.
The Last Man Standing match, within the "PG" environment, and with the medicore in-ring talents involved was actually pretty good. All round the arena and backstage, The table spot, through the V, Del Rio being thrown from the ring into the barrier, the AA through the announcers table and the dynamic brought by the broken ring made it enjoyable for me.
So overall, nothing major or out of this world shocking, most won who I expected, but the matches were all decent, so a solid effort in the end.
