Hopefully their recent matches are proving to WWE officials that Christian can be a top player on Smackdown.</p>

<p>I'm not sure that main event was a good idea. I mean they did exactly what the Cena haters hate about him : getting his rear end handed for an extended period then it's the Superman syndrom. At least, they could have made Miz quit on something meaningfull. Anyway, I quit matches are generally a bad idea and this one was not an exception. Your options are way too limited and it rarely pays off the way you wanted. </p><p> </p><p>

I was surprised by other world title match. Not about the quality of the match, neither that I expected Christian to win the belt, but I thought Henry and/or Shaemus would be involved. That seemed the logical way to me to extend the Christian/Orton feud to Summerslam. I could have see a 4-Way at Capitol Punishment with quick eliminations at the end to make sure Christian/Orton are not the last two standing for an extended period and something to give a heel (Sheamus) something to complain about and get a one-on-one rematch at MITB. Then it would have been Christian vs Orton at Summerslam with a lenghty buildup.... and a high possibility of pissing off a lot more people by giving the title to Christian only to have him beat seconds later by a MITB winner. </p><p> </p><p>

Everything else was pretty forgettable. That was an average PPV on paper and it was an average delivery. Two other notes. Big Zeke is slowly getting good face pops, so they might have something there. Mason Ryan needs to learn to work as a heel, but he's so green that he shouldn't be there anyway.</p>

<p>Orton vs. Christian saved atleast something of the PPV, other than that it was far below average show in my opinion, the main event was a total lackluster.. Should have had the World title matches the other way around for sure. More of Orton and Christian please, less of other stuff.</p><p> </p><p>

Also could we have normal lights for Sin Cara matches? Please? <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>Few thoughts on the PPV.</p><p> </p><p>

The lights for the Sin Cara matches are just flat out annoying and do nothing to further the man.</p><p> </p><p>

The kiss my foot match was the best out of their three encounters which really isn't saying much but I think I was just grateful that the match itself was fairly short.</p><p> </p><p>

The Christian vs Randy Orton match in my opinion is probably the best match I have seen this year and that is coming from somebody who up until recently strongly disliked Mr Orton. It surpassed their first match on Smackdown which I also considered to be one of the better matches I have seen this year.</p><p> </p><p>

Let CM Punk win a few matches because right now, he and the rest of the new Nexus look like jokes. (I really enjoyed the moment when Punk told Otunga and Perfect Jr to walk it off and I also liked his little tribute to Randy Savage during the match)</p><p> </p><p>

The Corre bore me and that is all I took form the IC title match.</p><p> </p><p>

Kelly Kelly and the Bellas well................</p><p> </p><p>

The main event was slow, uninteresting and far too long. Cena was never going to quit and his superman comebacks look ridiculous. I mean on RAW he no sold a "lead pipe"! Are you kidding me? Although that chair shot he took to the head was brutal!</p><p> </p><p>

Aside from the Orton/Christian match the PPV as a whole was lacking.</p>

<p>Off-topic, but it's sorta WWE. Owen Hart died 12 years ago. I wrote a blog. I'm not usually a blog guy. This will probably be my first and last foray into it. Just felt I had to write it.</p><p> </p><p>

Seems he's going to be getting a real opportunity now, hope it works out. I love that he was already getting chants. Pretty nice segment overall.</p><p> </p><p> Edit: I love how Cole's all humble and pretty much taking back everything he said. Kharma got a pretty good reaction when she came out. Interesting to see what happens when she's in the ring with eight other divas...</p><p> </p><p> Edit 2: ...What the hell was that?</p>

<p>I'm no expert at lip reading, but I'm pretty sure the last thing she said before the break was, "I just want you all to like me. Please."</p><p> </p><p>

That segment had so much potential, Kong vs 8 Divas (inc. Gail Kim), but what happened was a complete letdown. After all that build, they may just have ruined Kong. This makes me a sad panda.</p>

<p>McIntyre getting some pyro. Seems almost... unfitting, actually. He's sort of meant to be devoid of flash. But I'm always cool with more pyro... <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Really don't know what to think of that segment with Kharma, it certainly didn't look good...</p>

Really? I'd like for him to be pushed even stronger, but seriously...he' a multi-time world champion and a legit upper level guy. I'd hardly say they've screwed up where Punker is concerned.</p>
