CODY RHODES & DAMIEN SANDOW vs. REY MYSTERIO & SIN CARA "TABLES MATCH": Sandow is a very amusing heel. The one problem is that he is not an entertaining wrestler. Sin Cara is an entertaining wrestler but he hasn't been a singles wrestler in a year ever since his positive drug test and/or the crowd didn't really care about him. So you throw these B-wrestlers in tag teams and fill shows. The crowd tonight was epic. They chanted, "Cody's mustache!" very loudly during this match because Rhodes has a new mustache and I guess that's a funny chant? An okay match. Sin Cara got tossed through a ring side table. Nothing revelatory. ** (out of ****)ANTONIO CESARO vs. R TRUTH: Cesaro is a good heel. He's a mediocre wrestler. R Truth is stale, old, weird. Not a good match. 1/2*
KOFI KINGSTON vs. WADE BARRETT: Kofi should be the champ. Or should he? Kind of sad that they push Boring Barrett. *
THE SHIELD vs. RYBACK & KANE & DANIEL BRYAN "TLC": Without Jeff Hardy, there hasn't been a ton of big spots in these TLC matches lately. One guy in The Shield was thrown off a ladder by the stage by Ryback through four tables. Ryback was put through the Spanish announce table. Bryan got power bombed through a table and was pinned. It was good, albeit not great. The one problem was that Punk got hurt so they put this match together instead and thus didn't have anything hanging above the ladder so there wasn't a lot of climbing ladder/falling off ladder/jumping off ladder excitement. ***
EVE vs. NAOMI: Who are these women? -No Stars-
THE BIG SHOW vs. SHEAMUS "CHAIRS MATCH": The Big Show hit Sheamus with a really big chair and won. I actually didn't even see this because the sound went off during this and I was attempting to get it back on my Ipad. Not that the announce team is so great, though, that I had to hear them.
ALBERTO DEL RIO & THE MIZ & THE BROOKLYN BRAWLER vs. 3MB: Yeah...The Miz and Del Rio are good guys now and it just doesn't work. Three Man Band is hilarious, though. *
JOHN CENA vs. DOLPH ZIGGLER "LADDER MATCH": Good match. This crowd was loud and awesome. AJ came out and turned on Cena by pushing him off the ladder. Pointless but God forbid a heel win clean. Ziggler wins...a briefcase he already won in July. ***
