    Thanks for that. Not too happy with the ending to the Punk match though.

    I will watch clips later when I get home.

    Good to see Del Rio win though, doesen't this mean that Cena is no longer No.1 contender?

    Punk pinned, Orton wins, No Brodus Clay and Ziggler retains :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 49 wrestlefan101


    wasnt gonna watch this ppv but decided to at the last min wen i found out it was on sky sports for free. actually good show. del rio and cena match was really good. del rio took a couple of sick bumps. couple of **** matches but overal it was pretty good. alot bettter than i thought it wud be anyway. gotta give it up for del rio. i think he really made himself valuable as a champion wit his performance.
    and i cringed wen kevin nash powerbombed hhh. looked like a nasty fall for hhh. didnt nash do tat to big show in wcw years ago and nearly cripple him. i was excited to see him return but not if he injurs ppl. maybe wat hhh fault. i dont know anyway.
    but overall i liked the show. cant wait for survivor series wit the rock. shud be good. i bet they do cena, hhh, punk and rock vs. truth, miz, nash & del rio.

    That Jacknife did look fairly bad. Wonder who will be the new number one contender now that Cena lost, possibly Punk?

    Punk would seem to be the obvious choice to feud with Del Rio in the medium term but if he's going to be tagging with Rock/Cena/HHH then somebody else may be in a title match at Survivor Series. No idea who, mind you. John Morrison maybe?

    The dark match prior to Sunday’s WWE Vengeance pay-per-view saw Wade Barrett defeat Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63

    As I said in the live thread I think Bryan needs a girl/boyfriend with political stroke. Wonder if Triple H took the bullet for CM Punk who may go on to feud with Del Rio while HHH is stook with the lumbering Nash. Would of been a good idea for Punk to win if he is going onto feud with ADR, he's been pinned at the end of the last few ppv's going into this losing the title to mitb winner adr, then to hhh, then again by adr in the HiaC he's not on a wave of momentum not that it has stopped wwe putting the belt on a guy

    Lost interest after the HHH/Punk v Miz/Truth cluster**** of a tag match.another meh PPV.
    The ending to Show/Henry sounds slightly interesting though so I'll probably watch that on the replay tonight.

    Have no problem with Ziggler beating Ryder either as I imagine it won't be they're last match against each other.

    Had absolutely no interest in Cena vs Del Rio,and am dreading the next month of Cena/Rock promos.

    Danielson gets beaten in a dark match?jesus how much lower can Danielson slide?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,196 ✭✭✭Ridley


    I enjoyed it.

    Henry/Big Show exceeded my expectations and Eve reversing the Glam Slam so Phoenix bounced off the ropes into a roll up was a highlight. Scared me that they were going to do the Kelly Kelly roll up of doom (your mileage may vary).

    Good matches all round. I approve of Ziggler wrestling twice though I dread a US champ in Mason Ryan. Del Rio's title runs have been fairly meh so far but the last match standing match was entertaining. Something different without the working ring. Much appreciated. As was Rodriguez's ineffectual interference all match.

    the last two matches on the card were the best imo

    cena once again terrific in a last man standing match, both men should be praised though, they spent a large amount of time wrestling in a broken ring taking bumps on a very uneven surface

    Enjoyed the PPV but it wasn't outstanding.

    The Tag match to start was a good opener and I was happy Ziggler retained the US title the way he did. I was hoping to see the Super Kick return as a finisher and it would suit Ziggler to use it. If it was just a one off I am cool with that as not every match needs to end with the standard finisher.

    Diva match was good.

    Sheamus continues his run and I am happy with that.

    Orton and Cody could have been better and it came across as pointless when Orton got the win.

    Not sure what to make of the Big three matches. Show and Henry ending was done before.

    HHH looked like he got hurt. Not really sure how the ending helps Punk, Miz or Truth.

    Not really sure why Miz and Truth got involved in the main event. It looks bad if Rock has to return to deal with them when Punk and HHH couldn't get the job done.

    But Cena and Del Rio put on a very good match before that and I really enjoyed it. I also liked Cena's tweaked look.

    Oh.

    This may have been asked and answered elsewhere but why was Ziggler wearing a rolled down singlet?

    Looked like some sort of matching attire to go with Swagger.

    I'd imagine a lot of it is telling you to tweet about it & get things trending.

    Whoring twitter is the new "longest running episodic". Who cares, it's not like WWE get revenue from it? I don't get how asking people not to pay attention to what they're watching (and tweeting) is a good thing? What am I missing!

    I did have the laptop on last night (ya ha har) and halfway through i started watching GameTrailers' reviews. "Half-watching" something won't lead to more buys/eyes!

    Whats the deal with RR constantly having black eyes??

    Great revisionism after the Henry/Show spot.

    "Historical match.........including the ring 'imploding'....never happened before"

    Am I correct in saying there is a big difference between a collapse and an implosion?

    Cool spot all the same.

    In the long run, it does. (or at least, it can.)
    Companies would rate twitter as being a good indication of what people are taking about, which is a bit stupid as things like "only black people say", (which is trending right now!) can end up trending.
    So if company execs see that people are tweeting about the wwe, they will be more likely to do some sort of business.
    Its also a little redundant as a large portion of the tweets i read arent always positive. maybe like 20%* is positive about the product.
    *Statistic pulled out of my ass.
    So with wwe plugging twitter interaction its more for the whoring out to any bigger companies and saying "Look! were still cool and hip! Turka turka turka!"

    That makes sense. Indirect advertising, and trying to seem hip. Maybe all discussion is good discussion for WWE; it shows people care enough. I find it odd being interactive with a TV show, shouldn't you pay attention during the TV show? I know it's not the same beast, but imagine if Breaking Bad started hassling you to use @skylarwhite & #scarygus and read tweets during the show!

    Oddly more and more shows are doing it although not as bluntly as WWE. Big Bang Theory for example show their hastag at the start of the show in a caption and whore out some of the actors twitter accounts. That being said i totally agree with your point

    was the mark henry big show ring break staged or unplanned?

    never seen that happen before, does it go on a lot in wwe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,013 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    Hey MrsStuffings, welcome to pw boards!

    Yes, the ring breaking at Vengeance was a planned spot. WWE and TNA are very meticulous about what exactly happens on their show, and when, and very little is left to chance. A script for WWE and TNA has leaked onto the internet before and they go into great depth. Only top-end wrestlers get to say/do things on the fly but the main bullet-points are agreed upon beforehand.

    Breaking the ring is a very rare thing in WWE - but the same thing happened in 2003 with the Big Show and Brock Lesnar, doing the same superplex. (it was #2 on the Top SmackDown moments DVD - #1 is the 9/11 show :p). Once in a blue moon, the ropes might break; which is more of an 1980s or untelevised house show thing to happen.

    I remember the ropes being broken a few times (one PPV with Jericho going for a Lionsault, and I think there might have been an episode of Raw when Rhyno went for a Gore), but yeah those were accidental. Ring breaking, not so much. As Jayk said, very little is left to chance on live shows.

    Definitely, it'd be v rare that the rope breaking would be a planned spot -- (Cena/Umaga @ Rumble 07 was planned and worked into the finish) a "famous" rope breaking by accident was the Hart Foundation vs The Rockers (October 1990), where the Rockers won the tag belts, but the ropes broke halfway through, they ended up not using the footage so the Rockers consequently never officially became tag champions.

    Other ring breaks - i think Lawler mentioned an old 50 man battle royal; and also that famous ECW clip where the fans fill up the ring and the ring collapses
