a night to remember
This event marks as one of my favourite events of 2007 but the main reason being that it is a night that belongs to my favourite WWE star so if you hate this guy and i cant say who obviously then this event may not go down well with you,but i think the WWE team played a blinder with this event.
The event started with a new champion who was handed the belt by vince mcmahon,he didnt have to fight for it,cena had been stripped off the belt prior to this and we thought he would be gone for a year.
Triple h came out and contested the new champion and we were off,our first match,it was a good contest and was sprightly and energetic,perhaps a wobbly pin but a good way to get us off and running.
We had a good match next as well,as lance cade and trevor murdoch along with the great mr kennedy went up against jeffrey hardy and paul london and brian jendrick in a six man tag,this match ebbed and flowed and produced some jaw dropping stuff,all the elements needed were present and a great finisher meant that i was very content.
There was a poor match next that didnt even last two minutes when the ECW champion cm punk fought big daddy v,this was pointless and matt striker should really be seen and not heard.
Triple h returned for his second match of the night at vince mcmahons instruction as he went up against umaga,this was a good match,evenly split and aggressive and fought with a lively pace,this had all that you want in truth.
finlay and rey mysterio were up next in a numbing encounter,the brawler versus the ultimate speed machine wasnt always gonna work on paper but they could have tried harder,i found this pretty awful although there was a clever twist at the end.
The womans title was up next as candice michelle fought beth phoenix in a pretty decent match that was possibly better than the match before it.
A punjabi prison match was up next for the world heavyweight title as the champ batista went up against the great khali who couldnt fight in the first ever match of this kind built in his name at the great american bash a year or so before,so it was good to see him feature and he had a good match,this match was interesting because it isnt everyday we see a match like this and it is pretty cool in truth,wasnt an out and out classic but i liked it enough to believe that i will watch over and over again.
A last man standing match followed and what a match it was,honestly it was class,triple h returning for a third time in a match with randy orton again and this was just a true classic in determination and venom spilled forth,i found this to be a match that ripped the face of so many matches in 2007 ,it was highly entertaining and brutal and everything in between,a superb ending to a night that has stayed in my mindframe for a long time now.
Great potential, Okay event!
As you may know, John Cena was scheduled to face Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at No Mercy, however, John Cena got injured. So, the WWE creative team needed a "get out of jail card" and needed to put a new spin on the WWE Championship race.
To start the night, Vince McMahon would come to the ring and announce that there would be a new Champ crowned immediately. This would turn out to be Randy Orton. However, one man felt the need to come out and "request" a title match straight away, after comments being shared the match was on... Triple H vs Randy Orton for the WWE title. I feel the match in places was rather sloppy and I almost got the feeling that both men were wrestling as if they couldn't be bothered, but, overall, I think it was quite good. 7/10
Next up we would see a "surprise" 6-man tag team match. Jeff Hardy & Londrick vs Mr. Kennedy & Cade & Murdoch. An average match really, but one that was pleasent to watch. 6/10
We would next see the ECW championship on the line. CM Punk vs Big Daddy V. Two words for this "match"... Utterly Pointless. The official length of the match was 1:37 Minutes.
Triple H vs Umaga was next, as I don't want to spoil the PPV I won't tell you if it was for the WWE title or not. But, another pleasent match to watch. 7/10
Beth Phoenex vs Candice Michelle was next up. Two divas facing up for the womens title. Hmm... This match wasn't too good. Beth put up a good performance, but, Candice wasn't good to watch (In terms of her wrestling performance). 5/10
Now, it was time for the punjabi Prison match, which Batista would face Khali for the World Championship. A lot of hype, but the match didn't live up at all. Not a lot of wrestling really. Poor! 5/10
Now for the main event. The scheduled Last Man standing match was to be contested. Obviously, Cena wasn't involved. But, the two men that started out the night. Orton & Triple H. It was the best event of the night. Not the best LMS match I've seen, but, still, very, very good. 9/10
Decent for a WWE 2007 PPV, but not that great.
There are several things wrong with this PPV, and only the booking really saves it.
First of all some of the matches that were announced on the night had got little build up from them, secondly there was no real aftermaft between HHH and Orton, and finally, where the hell was Undertaker. So you main event a PPV then your no where in the next one. Anyway on with show.....
HHH v Orton - Solid opener.
Kennedy, Cade and Murdock v Jeff and Londrick - this wasn't really worthy of a PPV, more of a Raw match
CM Punk v Big Daddy V - went on for about 5 seconds.
HHH v Umaga - my match of the night, very good and the best match between these two guys.
Finlay v Rey - A generally poor feud with no great matches about from there Cyber Sunday one.
Beth v Candice - WWE Diva's are a joke anyway.
Batista v Khali - Did anyone really think that Khali had a second title reign on the cards? Poor match with two poor wrestlers.
Orton v HHH - Maybe the slowest Last Man Standing Match of all time. You compare it too HHH v Y2J at Fully Loaded 2000 and you'll see what I mean. Credit to Otrotn and HHH for there effort though
Soooooo not a particualry great and not worth the money IMO
