Randy Orton vs. Rob Van Dam was a ton of fun, the opening minutes with the feeling out process was good. Randy using the headlock brought back great memories of some of their earlier matches. But some of RVD’s kicks look awful; it looks like he connected with the thigh instead of the actual boot. Side note# BROCK LESNAR GUY IS IN THE FRONT ROW, and we also have a guy who is in Bill Alfonzo mode with the whistle
But back to the match and Orton working the back and neck was good, slow but in a good way he looked methodical. RVD no-selling any of the work was disappointing as he’s usually good at that. Oh and the counter from the monkey flip to the backbreaker was fuckin’ AMAZING! At least he RVD made up for the lack of selling on that DDT, and his 2nd comeback of the match was great which lead to an AWESOME! Hot finish and I loved the finish. I will say this this was the most I’ve enjoyed an RVD match since the Big Show match back in 2007 and as for Orton he continues to fly under the radar as WOTY, hell If Bryan wasn't on so much of a hot streak in the ring Orton would so be my number one for WOTY right now. ***1/4 - ***1/2
Miz TV, MEH! AJ promo before Dolph came out was nothing new we’ve been hearing the same thing for the past couple of months. And it just began to get worse; I have nothing good to say about it.
Wasting time showing Punk/Axel C’MON! At least we got to see PUNK DIE! Should have just showed that.
Kofi vs. Fandango, was solid nothing special, it wasn’t bad as a matter fact is was enjoyable but that’s it. USA Chants though
Oh and Summer selling whenever something happen to Fandango was hilarious oh and FAKING AN INJURY! **1/2
Daniel G.O.A.T Bryan vs. Wade Beardless, was short and good, Wade’s punches early on is the best he’s thrown ever and him working aggressive was enjoyable, damn never thought I would ever say that. Him grabbing Bryan’s beard to knee him in the face was great. But then he ruins it by going for the razor which allows Bryan to lose his shit and make a comeback and the match ends fairly quickly after that. I didn’t like Bryan destroying the razor after the match, he should of shaved Wade’s head for lulz **1/2
NEW SANDOW BRIEFCASE~!
KANE vs. 3MB, SQUASH! Cole lets us know that a “Ring Of Fire match†is an inferno match. Way it go, way to prevent Bray from having a good showing and hindering what both guys can do. I swear to GOD! If its 10 minutes of each guy pushing each other to the fire and rest holds I’m gonna riot. Bray’s post-match promo was good but that was expected, best line was “You wanna know a secret? I’m already dead OH SHIT!â€
BROCK LESNAR INTERVIEW~! I wonder how many takes it took him to do it, fuck it Brock just made fun of Punk taking beginner lesions in MMA
, OH SHIT! Now he’s making fun of Punk title run and Indy run. I LOVE THIS GUY!
Christian vs. Del Rio, damn this got time and it was great. Really fun back-and-forth to start with both en using the side headlock to try and maintain the advantage before Christian began to speed up the pace as me go to a commercial, well as we comeback and CLB is still in control until Del Rio punches him off a tornado DDT attempt and then hits a double stomp to the back. But he still doesn’t gain full control of the match, but he would when Christian goes for a leap off the top but Del Rio shoves him in mid-air and into the barricade. Anyway, Del Rio begins to work the midsection and back super aggressively and the crowd still mess up the USA chant, or did they
Wasn’t a big fan of the double fall off the middle buckle to the ring-side floor but I guess they needed something big before the 2nd commercial of the match. Del Rio totally forgetting about all the work on the back and midsection just 2 finally start soften the arm was hilarious and just made everything he did before that look like a time filler. Christian’s comeback was nice, he no-sold anything but tbf Del Rio had no idea what body part he was working next so I let it slide. I loved the finishing stretch with all the reversals, counters and big moves the false finish off the spear was great, finish was a bit out of nowhere and makes me now believe that 1. Christian is not gonna win, and 2. It might be a gimmick match now. ***1/4
FAKE CASH IN, OH SHIT! You do know if Cody was smart he would have let Sandow cash in and then his match with Sandow at SSlam would be for the World title, IDIOT!
