Sunday, April 3rd, 2010 from Atlanta, Georgia
EDGE vs. ALBERTO DEL RIO: Wow. A title match on first. Edge retained...which was a little surprising. Even more surprising: this was perhaps the best match on the show. It was certainly basic but it was never slow or stale and the crowd was alive this early. *** (out of ****)
MYSTERIO vs. CODY RHODES: Not bad, but it felt like a typical Smackdown match. Mysterio eventually took off Rhodes' mask, put it on and then head-butted Rhodes a few times. Rhodes won by hitting Mysterio with his knee brace. **
THE CORE vs. THE BIG SHOW, KOFI KINGSTON, SANTINO MARELLA & KANE: This was like three minutes long. So is The Core and The Nexus storylines finally over? *
RANDY ORTON vs. CM PUNK: Kind of anti-climatic and too slow. *1/2
MICHAEL COLE vs. JERRY "THE KING" LAWLER: Cole, the "evil" announcer, has been the most entertaining thing in the WWE the last few months. Too bad he can't wrestle. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the special ref, ended up pushing Cole to get Lawler DQ'd. Austin also drank beer, drove to the ring in an ATV and stunned Booker T., announcer Josh Matthews, and Cole. It was amusing but also boring. *1/2
THE UNDERTAKER vs. TRIPLE H: The finish sucked: HHH tapped out. They destroyed The Cole Mine and the Spanish announce table and kicked out of each others finishing moves a bunch of times. It felt like a retread of the first HBK-Taker match. Do something new, guys. **1/2
DOLPH ZIGGLER & LAYCOOL vs. JOHN MORRISON, TRISH STRATUS & SNOOKI: Very short. Morrison ran into the ring to celebrate before Snooki was even done pinning Michelle McCool. I guess he wanted out of there. 1/2*
THE MIZ vs. JOHN CENA: An awful snooze-fest. The Miz is not an entertaining wrestler and Cena looked sloppy and off. Cena slammed The Miz hard onto the concrete floor and the ref counted them out. The Rock came out and re-started the match, gave Cena a Rock Bottom and The Miz pinned Cena to win. Not the exciting finish we all wanted. *1/2
