WWE OVER THE LIMIT

From Raleigh, NC



BATTLE ROYALE (CHRISTIAN): The winner of this un-announced match got to face either the U.S. Title holder or the IC title holder. Christian obviously won. It was typical. **

R. TRUTH & KOFI KINGSTON vs. DOLPH ZIGGLER & JACK SWAGGER: Didn't even realize the WWE still had a Tag Team division. I will say that for some strange reason the commentary tonight by Cole, Booker, and King was hilarious, bizarre, and entertaining. *1/2

LAYLA vs. BETH PHOENIX: Sloppy. Awful. -No Stars-

SHEAMUS vs. RANDY ORTON vs. CHRIS JERICHO vs. ALBERTO DEL RIO: The match of the night. Seriously. The final five to ten minutes was a wild frenzy. Good stuff. ***

BRODUS CLAY vs. THE MIZ: The Miz was in the battle royale. Yep, him and Christian wrestled twice tonight. The Miz did dance The Thriller pre-match. That was interesting (sadly, they couldn't afford to use the music). *

CODY RHODES vs. CHRISTIAN: Very dull. 1/2*

C.M. PUNK vs. DANIEL BRYAN: Good, not great. Really looked like a ROH match. Long, holds, back and forth. A crap WWE finish, though; Punk was in the Yes Lock but rolled over to pin Bryan and then Punk tapped. So kind of a lame ending but a good match. **1/2

RYBACK vs. CAMACHO: More "Goldberg!" chants. 1/2*

JOHN LAURANAITIS vs. JOHN CENA: Cena beat up Big Johnny, sprayed him with a fire extinguisher, doused him with water. Big Show came out and KO'd Cena. This was unGodly awful. -No Stars-

TNA SACRIFICE

Sunday, May 13th, 2012 from Orlando

CHRISTOPHER DANIELS & KAZARIAN vs. SOMOA JOE & MAGNUS: I missed this match...but we have new tag teams! Does anyone care? Where are the Motor City Machine Guns, anyway?

GAIL KIM vs. BROOKE TESSMACHER: I missed this match, too. Lazy.

DEVON vs. ROBBIE E. & ROBBIE T.: Kind of still mad they split up the Dudley Boyz. Not because I like them but because now we have to sit through Devon matches. * (out of ****)

MR. ANDERSON vs. JEFF HARDY: The finish was super awkward. Anderson rolled up Hardy for a quick pin that might have been a 2 and a 1/2 count. After the pin, Anderson spoke to the ref and stood in the ring looking like a mistake just occurred. Either way, it wasn't that great. *1/2

CRIMSON vs. ERIC YOUNG: Eric Young might be TNA's most entertaining wrestler...but even he couldn't make a Crimson match watchable. *

AUSTIN ARIES vs. BULLY RAY: This was the match of the night. Austin Aries is phenomenal. Funny, a high-flyer, sarcastic, semi-evil, and all around fun to watch. His entrance proclaims him to be "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived." He even had a good match with Bully Ray. **1/2

KURT ANGLE vs. A.J. STYLES: Eh. It was twenty-minutes, so-so. **

RVD vs. BOBBY ROODE "LADDER MATCH":  No big spots but at least it was semi-entertaining. RVD is lucky he's still alive as he got destroyed. He did a Five Star Frog Splash off the top rope and Roode moved and RVD landed on his knees onto a ladder. He lept onto a ladder and got his foot stuck in an awkward maneuver that left him dangling. The finish had him kicked off the ladder where his head landed onto a chair. Roode is officially now the longest reigning TNA champ. **
