R. TRUTH vs. REY MYSTERIO: Not bad, but R. Truth just is not an exciting wrestler. *1/2 (out of ****)
EZEKIEL JACKSON vs. WADE BARRETT: Why is Wade Barrett still around? And they're still doing the lame DQ finishes with him where his gang shows up and beats up the opponent? So been-there-done-that. *
SIN CARA vs. CHAVO GUERERO: Sin Cara is great and Chavo isn't. **
THE BIG SHOW & KANE vs. CM PUNK & MASON RYAN: So what do you do with the two worst, slowest, most boring wrestlers in the business? Put them together! So stupid. At least Kane made a joke about being upset that The Rapture didn't happen yesterday. *
BRIE BELLA vs. KELLY KELLY: The only entertaining female wrestler, Kharma, wasn't on the show. Smart. 1/2*
CHRISTIAN vs. RANDY ORTON: I hated that Orton won the title 5 days after Christian finally won it. That said, this was a great match with a ton of near-falls, a Christian spear, and an awesome, back-and-forth pace. ***
JERRY "THE KING" LAWLER vs. MICHAEL COLE: Brett Hart came out post-match to put Cole in a Sharpshooter for no real reason. Cole is hilarious but c'mon: why is he wrestling? *1/2
JOHN CENA vs. THE MIZ "I Quit Match": Perhaps the worst main event in WWE PPV history. The Miz and Alex Riley beat Cena up for twenty minutes than played a tape-recording of Cena saying, "I Quit." The ref realized this and re-started the match and Cena, even though he was apparently dead from the beating, hulked up and beat up both guys and then put The Miz in the Crippler Crossface submission hold and The Miz quit. The Miz did a funny bit where he told a ringside Cena fan to stop the beating and tell Cena to quit. That was really the only mildly entertaining aspect of this oh-so dull match. Awful, awful stuff. 1/2*
