Moonlight Drive

Guest
This is my first review, so cut me some slack if it's a little shitty or whatever. :eek:. Anyway, here we go, it's time for WWE No Mercy! I am fucking pumped for this one. The only downside is no Shaman of Sexy, Morrison makes a PPV God dammit!

We get a little video about some weird family. At first I thought I had tuned into the wrong channel. But then here comes the video. WWE Videos fucking pwn, especially when the theme song is from Metallica. Then comes the pyro and the Voice of Extreme...Jerry Lawler along with Todd Grisham. No Striker. Meh.

E-C-Dubya Championship
Matt Freakin' Hardy vs Mark Henry w/Tony Atlas


Whoaaaa. This match was awful. First off, Mark Henry cannot sell for shit. Sometimes his leg will hardly bothering him, and sometimes he'll completely forget. Anyway, match starts with the usual shiznit, before Hardy begins to hit Henry with weak-arse kicks, followed by some trademark Henry weak-arse selling. The main problem (of many) in this match was the lack of psychology and the fact HARDY was beating up HENRY. Isn't the face meant to get beat down by the monster heel and make a comeback every now and again, not the other way round? The finish had Henry holding Matt for a Worlds Strongest Slam, Hardy started slapping him on the arse which made Mark let go before Matt hit the Twist of Fate.

Final Thoughts: Fucking awful. 'Nuff said.


The pull out the mobile thing. Who are you rooting (tehe) for out of Hardy/Trips? We then go backstage with the men, Triple H listening to his iPhone as far as I can tell. Smart move, I'd rather do that than listen to Jeff talk. Triple H is texting his vote, saying he's rooting for Jeff. Hardy says he should worry about him, not texting. He puts Jeff over and says he wants to beat the best Jeff Hardy can bring.

Womens Championship
Beth Pheonix (c) w/Santino Marella vs Candice Michelle


I came back from looking for something and Michelle hits Beth with an enzuigiri (well, hits the air in front of Beth more like it). Pheonix starst to work over Candice's shoulder. Candice seriously sells like a pornstar if you know what I mean, just a whole bunch of screaming. Michelle gets back in control and eventually goes for the cover on Beth, Santino however pulls Beth outta the ring. Candice gives Santino a low dropkick, then drills the champ with a forearm before tossing her in the ring. In the end Beth countered a Candy Wrapper into a Glam Slam or whatever it's called (sick finisher, whatever the name is).

Rating: **
Thoughts: Normally I hate womens matches, but this was pretty well done for the time they got


Kane time! He says he's gonna kill Rey more or less, not in those words obviously. Everybody is a monster as well apparenlty.

Rey Mysterio vs Kane

Rey wears an ugly thing over his mask as he comes to the ring. Gives it to some kid. Hurray. I'm not gonna recap this whole match, but damn it was awesome. There were some cool spots early on, like when Kane reversed a sleeper hold on the outside and threw Mysterio over the barricade. The two meshed very well togethe,r Mysterio pulling off some awesome high flying moves and Kane nullifying them with power. Mysterio also pulled out one of the coolest counters I've ever seen. Rey ran off the ropes and Kane grabbed him for a sidewalk slam, Rey flipped over and nailed a reverse DDT, all in one smooth motion. The finish saw Rey springboard over the top rope and fly at Kane, who drilled him with a chair.

Rating: ***3/4
Thoughts: The best match for both men I have seen in a long, long time. The ending didn't bring it down for me, since we will now get to see them go at it again.


MVP is talking on the phone in the back. He wants a match, and I want him to get one too. He goes to see Vickie but all he gets is Show. He basically tells MVP to piss off or SHOW IS GONNA KILL YOU :)poster_offtopic: Show sounds so much better than Joe in that chant)

MVP is the ring on the schtick! He says some shit abotu basketball I think, saying you don't bench your best players. Enter Orton (WOOO). The crowd start a little 'RKO' chant. Orton reckons everything MVP claims to be, he actually is. They trade words, both on the fine line between Face and Heel. MVP says nothing will happen if he hits Randy, since he's on SD not Raw, and everyone on Raw would love him (no homo) if he did.

But here comes Cody, Ted and Manu (I swear Cole called him 'Money' Manu >_>). Cody is getting a shitload of heat. Rhodes reckons MVP shouldn't be offended, because that's what Randy does. Randy is the guy who graduate high school but never went to college, he just hung around the high school (Uhm, isn't that a Pedo?) He coasts on his reputation says Cody. Orton reckons young Rhodes should ask Punk. Manu reckons Randy only picked their scraps. Randy says they aren't impressive and once they accomplish half of what he has, he'll take them seriously. Randy leaves and MVP says Orton is coming sometime in 2012. Lol.

MVP puts over Priceless and Money Manu a lil bit. They talk about how awesome their daddys were, and MVP ain't even in their class. MVP talks about how he makes lotsa cash, Ted tells him about how his dad is the Million Dollar Man (again). MVP leaves, here come Punk and Kofi they convince MVP (so is he a face now?) to help em hurt the punks in the ring. MVP takes off his shirt so does Kingston and they all run to the ring, MVP is the only one who gets in though. Epic Fail right there buddy. Priceless/Manu beat up MVP a little before Kofi/CM come into the ring and brawl with Priceless as Porter fights with Money Manu on the outside.

We check out HBK/Y2J getting ready. FUCKK YEAH!

Batista vs JBL

YAWN. Batista squashes JBL in like 2 minutes.

Rating: 1/19*
Thoughts: Like I said, YAWN


JBL says some boring shit on the mic. Cryme Tyme appear on the big screen and they have JBL's Limo~! They invite all the Divas in, and Sgt. Slaughter shows up in all his camo and shit. Lol once again. They do the Money Money Yeah Yeah thing with Mickie.

Big Show vs Undertaker

We got a long video before the match starts. I liked this match, ,they worked pretty hard with some big power moves. Show dominated for the most part, but Undertaker got plenty of offense. Show performed an awesome counter, Undertaker jumped off for Old School but he was caught around the throat and chokeslammed. Following that, Undertaker countered a chokeslam into a DDT, which looked sweet. In the end, Show threw Takers head into the steel buckle, then punched him jaw. Undertaker collapses and Show hits him in the back of the head, winning by KO.

Rating: **3/4
Thought: Shitty ending, the match could've been better with more time


Taker tries to get up but just flops around. everybody who was dumb enough to waste their cash texting in voted for Hardy pretty much, Triple H got 28%.

WWE Championship
Triple H (c) vs Jeff Hardy


The match all the marks have waited for. This was quite honestly Jeff's best ever non-gimmick performance. The crowd were way into it and way behind Jeff. Triple H pulled out some great moves and some heelish tactics (HEEL TURN PL0X). I really liked this match, at some points I actually thought Hardy would win,, which was foolish of me. The ending was great, a Pedigree turned into a Twist of Fate followed with a Swanton! I was ready for Jeff's win but when I saw how he covered Trips, I knew he would roll him up, which he did. Hardy re-match at CS I think.

Rating: *** 1/2
Thoughts: Like I said, Hardy's best non-gimmick performance.


They shake hands afterwards. We have a CS Advertisment, it's pretty freaky =/

Triple H gets some congrats from Arn Anderson backstage. He starts walking when he comes face-to-face with.....VLADIMIR KOSLOV. I just noticed, these two have the biggest noses in sports entertainment. Koslov congratulates Trips.

World Heavyweight Championship
Chris Jericho (c) vs Shawn Michaels


This is it! The reason I ordered this PPV. Y2J, HBK, LADDER MATCH. My mum started semi-watching this with me. Lol. Anyway, this match was awesome. It actually had some wrestling involved, and was the first ladder match I can think of that wasn't a complete spotfest. There were some awesome spots though, too many too mention. My favourite was when Jericho and HBK crashed off the ladder into the annoucners table, I think Shawn countered a back suplex or something. The finish was incredible, my heart was pumping so quick, and I actually thought HBK could win. Both men were standing on the ladder, each with one end of the belt in a tug-of-war! HBK tugged Y2J forward and Chris' head crashed into his, making Michaels fall down off the ladder, thus Jericho pulling down the belt. Y2J also lost a tooth in this match.

Rating: *****
Thoughts: Pure Awesomeness in a Can


Overall PPV Rating: ***3/4

WTF? 5 stars? It was THAT good?

Not a bad review, I was thinking of doing one myself but the PPV was just much to terrible for me to possibly do one. I don't like your ratings though, i feel they are much to overrated but with the opening match and Batista/JBL were perfect :y: Rey Vs Kane was pretty good but I don't see why Kane would have the stip of taking his mask off and after knocking Rey out with a Chair not even taking the mask off anyways, stupid tbh :smh The Main Event was GREAT, next time you see Jericho you will think he is Benoit if you stare at his teeth!!! Those were the only matches worth watching tbh, rest sucked nearly as bad as a TNA PPV! :(

^ Yeah I didn't say a TNA match, those are just certain matches there. I like all of those but usually with all TNA PPVs they have like a match or screwy ending that ruins the whole PPV, thats what I mean by this sorta. And alot of People here seem to not like TNA PPVs so I said that this one wa slike them :eek:

What I am trying to say is like, this was nowhere near the standard a WWE PPV should be...They disappointed me :smh

^ lol, don't worry about it. I was just messing around. Its no secret that there is always one or two matches on a TNA PPV that are pretty bad.

But as for No Mercy, I've heard that it was pretty good, but some people (like Lennie) say that it sucked. So I guess when I download it tomorrow I'll see for myself

I blame Michael Hayes solely for the ECW Match.

Had he not gotten drunk and racially abused Mark Henry, Henry would never have held the ECW Title, and therefore stayed far, far away from this match.

Had he not taken an interest in the Hardy Boyz (Matt, more importantly), Hardy would have been with the WWE in the first place.

:tomato:

No they don't.

Ladder match wasn't 5 star worthy nor ECW Title match 1 star bad. The PPV wasn't exactly off the hook but picked up (JR said it himself), with Taker vs Big Show.

Well great review, but the ECW title match was actually pretty cool and different, cuase we saw a face working on a limb and not a heel doing that. My ECW title rating would have been **1/4 but that's just me and I think you were a little nice on the Tista vs. JBL match you gave it 1/19, that shows how nice you were. My rating would of been 2/111 but that's just me. :)

Your awesome review is stamped by Bam "GOD" Neely.

I think Cody was really disturbed by the fans when they were chanting "Boring...Boring". You can tell this just by looking at Orton's face that Cody was kinda off.

The JBL segment was too long and I dont think it would have been good to see it on a PPV. maybe a short backstage comment would be fine. But in the ring for that long? I think they needed to fill in some gap as the match between Batista and JBL ended in 5 and a half minutes.

I dont see the HBK/Jericho ladder match as a 5 star match -HBK-. It can barely reach 4 stars imo. Was good, but not a perfect 5 imo.

Yeah, I probably did overrate it. But the fact I am a huge Jericho & Michaels mark and it was the culmination of the best feud in many, many years gave it that extra snowflake in my eyes.
