Awful show. I can't elaborate without it sounding like familiar rambling, jesus it was awful. The commentary....oh. That too. It's like King doesn't even give a sh*t anymore. He called Ziggler "Zigzag"...TWICE. Booker's pretty awful too. Cole's gotten tolerable since dropping the Cole Mine gimmick. Just put Mathews and JR out there. pretty sure Booker also called him ZigZag

Like 10 minutes in, King breaks out a fat Vickie joke. The worst. When genuinely she looks great. Sets the tone going in.

The ME's just felt a little hasty in the finishes, but booking wise wasn't that bad and the wrestling featured wasn't bad either. I think people spend too much time concentrating on who wins rather than the match itself.
Ziggler/Kofi had good moments, but between the sloppiness of Kofi and the odd finish it wasn't the spark plug it needed to be for an opening match.
Riley and Miz just bored the hell out of me. It lasted entirely too long, maybe the longest match of the night.
Del Rio/Show was all over the place and Zeke/Barrett was just plain crap. Zeke also needs to get a different one liner, it's not going anywhere and his delivery is poor.
Punk/ Rey was great outside of Punk taunting too much. A little is fine, but not every hold, it makes a match drag. The rest was awesome though, very crisp.
Bourne and Swagger I liked, but the placing was weird.
Event rating 6/10

Anyway, I felt this pay-per-view was exactly the opposite of what a pay-per-view should be. It started out solid and got increasingly worse, as opposed to the reverse order.
Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston put on a decent match. Nothing amazing but not bad and a good watch. I was happy to see Ziggler win but I also like Kofi so it didn't make much odds to me.
Miz/Riley was a decent bout. I think Miz needed the win tonight and then allow Riley to go over at the next Pay-Per-View. Regardless, it was a decent match and I enjoyed the build up for it.
It's hard to actually say anything about that Big Show vs Alberto Del Rio match as the outcome was evident before it began. Anyway, I'm interested to see how they will, if at all, put Mark Henry/Del Rio/Big Show in a storyline all at once. Let's hope they have some direction with it as I would actually say I've found Show to be entertaining recently. :/
Glad to see Punk go over Rey Mysterio. Was a good match with many turns with the attempted 619s and GTS'. Interested to see what the future holds for Punk with regards to his promo prior to the match - just hoping all that BS about him quitting is false.
Orton and Christian was sctually a decent match. Sure, people might hate it because Orton went over. But, realistically, that was always going to happen. I think the 'Randy Boreton' label is getting a bit old. The guy is clearly trying to expand his moveset and actually hit some decent manoeuvres. I could see this (hopefully) building to a World Title match with Sheamus.
Lastly, the main event. I'll probably get attacked by the 'holier than thou', elitist Cena internet smarks, but I hated it. I like to pay money to watch the PPVs in good quality and every time Cena goes over it just leaves me with a dry taste in my mouth, questioning myself, 'why did I buy this?' To be honest, the match was okay. I felt Truth was more entertaining in both the build-up and the actual bout. I'm normally very open in praising Cena's mic skills, but I genuinely believe that Truth carried this feud as opposed to Cena going in to the pay-per-view.
I felt that this was their time to pull the trigger with Truth, now that he is more over than any other heel on RAW and for the first time in his career, he actually looks relevant.
Basically, I feel that in this past month creative have given R-Truth the ball and told him to run with it, and I believe his performances deemed him worthy of keeping the ball. But I guess not, Super Cena retains.

I actually liked the finish to the WWE title match. It set up an advance in the Truth vs Cena rivalry for the next few weeks.

Upon the introduction of his gimmick as "Dolph Ziggler", I initially thought it was ing stupid. The name. It sounded like a retired 80s Porn Star. With a Bert Reynolds sized mustache. But it grew on me. But if they try anything cute by calling him Zigzag over the next few weeks, I'll mail my feces to WWE Headquarters. Zigzag? GTFO..

Crappy ppv to me, I only enjoyed Punk/Rey. Im guessing the next ppv will be Sheamus/Orton/Christian and Punk/Cena. Imagine Cena v. Punk in Chicago it would be crazy.

I don't get why people are complaining so much, This was pretty much your typical monthly wwe ppv. AT least the ending was something we haven't seen before. Also it's stupid to complain about Cena winning. There is no way anyone should have been expecting a title change. They made it pretty obvious on monday that truth was not going to win.

Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber and Extreme Rules were great PPVs. WrestleMania was just there. Over The Limit was terrible. It's not typical of 2011 PPVs.

I thought it was a solid show overall. I hated the Obama sketches. Main Event was whatever, but I felt that Punk/Rey was excellent, Dolph/Kofi was good, Orton/Christian was good, and Miz/Riley was solid.

Read there were some pretty loud and clear "We Want Ryder" chants tonight. Ryder Revolution No there wasnt. It was like 5 dudes who had ringside seats trying to get people to join in and nobody did. The only reason it seemed loud is because they were so close to the ring. They tried it again later on and even less people joined in.

I didn't catch the show since I was at a local SPW show but I read the results and saw pictures. I am glad Ziggler won although Kofi had another lackluster title reign.. Wade losing the IC title sucked but I knew it would happen. I was glad ADR beat show, same for Bourne over Swagger, and Punk over Rey. Miz losing to Riley is just sad.. Come on. While looking at the Bourne/Swagger photos I saw the Bellas with the beer guy. WTF was that about? 'Obama' with Booker was just stupid. Christian losing with his foot under the rope better mean he gets some type of rematch but I have a feeling he'll have to win MITB to get his rightful rematch. Cena over Truth is probably for the best. I only wanted Truth to win since that would give JoMo a better chance of getting the belt but if that never happened I would upset Truth got it. I have not read many people's opinions of the show but I guess I'll see the matches when I buy the dvd.
