You guys got thoughts so far as to how you think this PPV is going?KevyR

Main event should also be great.

You guys got thoughts so far as to how you think this PPV is going?KevyR

Bryan winning - Yes.

Layla winning - No.

Cena and Otunga winning - Should I even be happy about this?

Kane winning - I guess Taker now knows how it feels to be buried in a fued. But since Nexus interfered, this match didn't exist.

Team Smackdown winning - YES!

Whoa.

If Barrett loses, he fires Cena tonight.

Well looks like Cena is gonna get Orton DQ'd. Barrett will win but won't win the title and Cena will be repremanded next day at RAW  

Wow. I didn't think it was possible, but this match is actually decent.SonicRenegade84

I spoke too soon.

Barrett wins via DQ. Cena AA Barrett.

Cena gets RKO.

Yup I called it 

This was probably one of the worst main events i've ever seen.SonicRenegade84

Yea. Terrible ending to an overall good PPV. Really enjoyed everything else.

Twilling hated the show.

Ending the PPV with a DQ? Lame. The PPV sounds under-whelming.

Otherwise, I did **** on my predictions. I think only one I predicted correctly was Taker-Kane.

Pretty decent show live. Only good match was Danielson vs. Ziggler. The rest of the matches all sucked, especially the unannounced matches, Buried Alive, Divas, SvR and Barret/Orton...oh wait, that is the rest.

Opening match was worth it tho. Oh and CM Punk.

- There was fear that CM Punk hurt his back and or hip last night, but it turns out that he is ok.

- Beth Phoenix is expected to return to the Smackdown brand within the next few weeks.

- The Undertaker will be taking time off to deal with a shoulder injury. He will be getting it looked at this week, and the hope from the company is that he can return around the Royal Rumble so that he can begin his WrestleMania program.

This is all great news. Beth will finaly show these girls how to wrestle. Punk will continue to show the guys how to wrestle as well as be an awesome personality and we wont have to see Taker dominating everyone

There was a dark match at the show where MVP beat Chavo Guerrero.

I listened to your post game show and yes, a lot of fans were checking the score of the Vikings-Packer game throughout the night. After the opener the show got dull and I saw more people checking their phones then. The Elimination match got the fans engaged again. Those were the only two good matches on the show.

The building wasn't sold out but it looked close.

A lot of people hated the predictability of the main event finish. A lot of the kids liked that John Cena outsmarted Barrett (if you can even call it that).

The fans also pretty much hated the finish of the Buried Alive match too.

After the PPV went off the air, Randy Orton just preened in the ring for a few minutes.

My Review:

Daniel Bryan vs Dolph Ziggler: Epic match. Great back and forth action, good moments of dominating by both men. The only problem I have is... Daniel Bryan still hasn't been let go to show his true skill. I'm also missing his American Dragon persona... why'd they just randomly drop it during NXT?

Tag Team Title Match: Missed it. Internet went out, but from the replay it didn't look too good.

Diva's Title Match: Took a bathroom break, so I missed this.

DiBiase vs Goldust: I've lost hope for DiBiase. No push, nothing for him. Too bad, he fits that WWE profile perfectly. Big size and a great wrestler. Nice to see Goldust on a PPV for the first time in awhile, but still... it'd be better if they actually announced matches that help storylines.

7vs7 Bragging Rights Match: 7 people is too many. I prefer the old 5v5 style from Survivor Series, even though that is quiet a lot. Lots of quick eliminations early on; and, super Rey Mysterio drove me insane. Really? Loved the pop for CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio is just amazing. Was enjoying him beating up Rey on the outside. Nobody else in the match really impressed... they all did almost nothing. Little Note: Wasn't Big Zeke drafted to Smackdown after ECW closed? Or am I remembering wrong?

Buried Alive Match: Storyline wise, it was great. Nexus interferring was a bit... out of place, I'd rather have seen Paul Bearer or someone actually involved in the storyline. But, whatever, the storyline did it's job. Kane is still WHC and Undertaker will probably make his grand return at RR or WM. Not much wrestling but did anyone expect any? Neither man can do extremely well in the ring anymore, especially the Undertaker recently. I'm just happy Kane is still champion.

WWE Title Match: Such high expectations and a decent beginning immediately failed. Neither man was able to carry the match; and, it was honestly more fun waiting to see if Cena would help Barrett than it was to watch the match. Was expecting McGuil and Husky to intefere with Nexus, but guess not (unless I missed them). Just a horrible match and the ending was way too obvious. Maybe it's just me... or is Orton unable to hold his own in the main event? It seems like, especially lately, his main event ppv matches have been very underwhelming. It seems the only person he can pull off a good main event with is Cena or HHH.

Overall a decent PPV, probably one of the better ones. Wish DB would be allowed to wrestle fully and not be restricted. I'm also getting tired of them constantly mentioning Cattle Mutilation and yet he never does it... why even bring it up then? Also, I was really praying for some Kick His Head In chants and maybe a I HAVE TILL 5. But oh well, still a great match.

I've been saying this since day 1. When Orton is put on the spot for the main event, he fails. Only reason he had a good match against Cena at BR last year was because......well, he was against CENA. And who the hell told Barrett to be in the main event? The guy can barely wrestle, let alone hold a main event, ESPECIALLY against Orton, the four-move Viper. This ppv was just booked in all the wrong places, especially the main event.

I'm still waiting to know who the **** said to have Nexus prove another one of my points and interfere in Taker vs Kane, a fued that has NOTHING to do with them.

Watch Sheamus/Orton from HIAC. Great match.sephy37

Orton has proven time and time again that he can hold his own in the main event. Last year's Bragging Rights was a fantastic match, and Cena did not carry it. Both men gave the same amount of effort, and it showed.

Ziggler v Danielson was so great.

Was I the only one devastated that Swagger got eliminated so early? This man will never get his push back.

And god damn it, I hate Rey Mysterio.
