I can't stress enough how amazing The Rock looked in the ring today. Extremely crisp execution of all of the big moves (and who saw that beautiful fisherman suplex coming?) and had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand all evening. Fantastic to see that he can still bring it.
I'd say this was second only to HBK's unreal Summerslam match against Triple H a few years back in terms of how great a wrestler looked after an extended layoff. For Rock to look so great after being out of action for seven years is unbelievable. Big kudos for him.

Rock was the only good thing for me. He looked fantastic. Rest was very average. Crowd was hot all night though so props to them.

The Rock hasn't skipped a beat in the ring. His practice paid off. At first I was a little upset about how limited he was in his in ring participation compared to Cena, but then I realized they were a. saving all his big moments for the in, and b. wanted to keep him safe for Wrestlemania/movies.

When Punk won the WWE title I literally was biting my hand so I didnt yell "YEAHHHHHHHHHHH". Its just amazing how much his scene has changed. He went from being buried by Big Show, Rey Mysterio and DX these last couple of years to the WWE Champion and one of the Top Faces in the WWE. I've been a fan of punk since his TNA days It gives me a good feeling that he's finally getting the success that he deserves.  |

Very entertaining performance by The Rock. Dude is just as good as he's ever been. I am seriously impressed. Hasn't lost a step. I'm going make a 'DIE CENA, DIE!' sign when I go to RAW on the 28th. In the same vein as the old school 'DIE ROCKY, DIE' signs that helped turn Rocky Maivia into a heel. John Cena for real needs to turn heel.. and I want to help. lol. That would awesome if they don't take it away. I am positive they will take it away. Doesn't mean it won't be on live tv. Last 5 events I've been to they didn't check the signs before entering the building. lol. |

I loved the part where the fans chanted "you cant wrestle" to Cena and Cena did some dropkicks, snapmares, and a monkeyflip and got the "you still suck chant."

Whose dropkick is worst: Cena's, Eve's, or Rocky Maivia circa 1996?

Eve's 1 legged, doesnt go near opponent little skip of a drop kick is my vote.

Punk winning the title tonight was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Too bad it was "overshadowed" by The Rock doing a few hiptosses, taking a guardrail bump and hitting the people's elbow. Great showing by the WWE tonight. Ziggler/Morrison was a stellar opening, the crowd made it so much better and Ryder coming out at the end to a massive pop was awesome Survivor Series match was perfect. So glad Barrett pinned Orton and we didn't get the usual "Orton hits 7 RKOs and pins everyone" like I thought Henry/Show was stellar, those 2 big boys are killing each other and it's  ing awesome. Show going to the top is something I won't soon forget. |

Show's elbow drop was great. Im glad he got a big moment in. So..do you guys think Mark is going to keep the strap or are they going write him off with an injury? If they write him off I would love to see a fatal 4-way ladder or chairs match next month at TLC for the vacant WHC that has Barrett winning the belt.

Biggest Pops:
1. Zach Ryder
2. The Rock
3. CM Punk
4. Santino Marella (seriously)
Biggest Heat:
1. John Cena
2. John Morrison
3. Most of the Henry/Big Show match
4. Big Show

I had a semi-lengthy review of this PPV, you know my regular length (nobody knows what that is, but eh), and I was about to post it, but when I went to post it, the board was creating a back up of data or something and I ended up losing the entire post. So, I took a few hours to calm down, and I'm still ing pissed! Actually, I'm not, but needless to say, there is no chance I'm typing all that again, so I'm just going to give my match ratings and PPV rating. Ziggler vs. John Morrison: 4/5 Phoenix vs. Eve: 3.5/5 Survivor Series: 4/5 Show vs. Henry: 3.5/5 Punk vs. Del Rio: 4/5 Rock/Cena vs. Awesome Truth: 3/5 PPV Rating: 3.7/5 |

I watched the show with my friends at a bar and for the most part I had a great time. The main negatives of the bar was that there was one really ing annoying guy who kept screaming every 5 minutes in a Hacksaw style and it was pissing me the off.. Like seriously I am pretty sure he had some mental issues but come on stfu. Also the food was not that great/too expensive for what we ate.. But overall the show was great. Dolph/JoMo was a great opener and both men came off strong. I predicted Dolph would win so no surprise there but I was so rooting for JoMo to get the surprise win. Divas champ Beth beating Eve was expected but what I wanted. The match was nowhere near as good as their Vengeance match but the ending was top rope GlamSlam finish was awesome! The traditional Survivor Series match was great for the most part. I thought Cara's botch was sad and now knowing he will be out for a while is sad but I honestly won't miss him much. He has been a big let down imo and I would guess wwe's as well... Nonetheless after Ryan got eliminated everyone in the match were people I like a lot or at least like a little bit. I was expecting Sheamus/Orton to be the final two men left but stupid Sheamus [glad he was stupid] got eliminated. At that point I though oh great Orton will just beat 4 guys in a row to seem unbeatable but nope he got Swagger with Sheamus' assist and Hunico because he's Hunico.. Cody distracting Orton for enough time for Wade to score Wasteland and the win made me SOOO happy because I honestly thought Orton would again become the sole survivor on his team.. Henry/Show was such a boring match. Wow that was painful except a few moments by Big Show. The moments were Show's armdrag and Show's crazy top rope elbow drop! Shocked I swear his fat ass was going to going to fall down I was getting nervous. Those two positives don't take away the face that imo the match was slow and boring. I was so hoping Bryan would cash in and they seemed to be leading people to believe it would happen but it didn't and it was a big letdown to me and my friends. The next match was the match of the night for me. Punk and Alberto Del Rio had an awesome title match. I could have seen it go either way. My friend Matt thought it was going to end with Brodus costing Punk but nope Punk countered ADR and made him submit with the Anaconda Vice in like 17 minutes. I hate how again ADR had a short run as champ but imo he should have never lost the belt to Cena after he won it off of Punk at SS. He should have had the WWE belt from SummerSlam to Survivor Series. Even that is pretty short but whatever. I just really really want Punk to have a respectable title run this time. He needs to keep the WWE title til at least WM but I would rather he kept it a month or two longer so he can have a Wrestlemania title defense. The main event was very anticipated by myself and I'm sure others. Cena getting a very negative reaction was so funny. On the other hand, Rock getting a massive pop was very cool. Btw Rock looked amazing. Wow he had like no ring rust at all and was in top shape. His arm drags were great and in general his parts in the match were perfect. Cena getting worked over on was a little slow and boring but once Rock got back in I was back to loving the match. Miz losing to the People's Elbow was pretty expected. I'm sure Miz was happy to get pinned by Rock; not like that happens everyday! The ending to the PPV was also a little expected. I knew one of them would attack the other but I was kind of hoping Cena would turn heel. Instead Rock attacked Cena to be more of the heel but it didn't matter to the very pro Rock crowd. I am so looking forward to Rock/Cena and any Rock match that could happen before that. The PPV had it's low points [WHT/Diva's Title match but it had its high points Punk/ADR, Rock/Cena v Awesome Truth. The remaining matches were solid so if I had to give this PPV a grade I would give it a 'B' |

I loved this PPV! I felt like a kid again. For some reason it felt 2002ish, with it at MSG & all.
The crowd annoyed me at times, seemed like they tried to hard to be smarks.
Good opener, decent divas match, great tag match, loved The Rock's promo. I was in total kid mode just seeing that. THRILLING WWE title match. Rather enjoyed Henry/Show, gotta give major credit to Show for his effort.
The main event just felt surreal seeing Rock back. loved all the chants, the "you still got it" one was great to hear.
Great night!

One of the best PPVs of the year so far imo. Ranks up second, if not, tied with MITB. The Rock's backstage promo was great as always. His in ring performance despite not being in the ring as much was amazing and electrifying. #bootstoasses indeed, as he showed no ring rust and proved why he's still the most electrifying man in entertainment. Damn great day to be a Rock fan.

I think that Punk's match alone was worth the money. I mean, the whole show was great. But Punk vs Delrio was by far the best match of the night. I also loved Punk's Lambeau Leap type of thing he did at the end lol. Btw, I'm from Wisconsin.

I was there live, and I had the biggest collection of smarks sitting behind me. One guy kept yelling "PUNK SELL THE ARM, YOU'RE NOT SELLING" and they kept trying to get chants going for random indie guys, it was extremely ing annoying; me and my brothers kept making fun of them as loud as we could all night, and they did nothing about it. Typical, fake tough guy smarks. Anyway, aside from that, which I tried not to let it bother me, it was an AMAZING SHOW. The roof blew off for Ryder/ Rock/ Punk and I LOVED IT! |

What a show. Some people obviously found the chants annoying but to me they were awesome. The Cody chants, HBK, Savage, Cabana, You still got it, You can't wrestle, You still suck, We want Ryder WOO WOO WOO, You f'ed up were hilarious.
CM Punk winning the WWE Title was great, Rock proved he can still go, Ziggler put on a good match with Morrison, Show's elbow drop was crazy, Best SS in awhile.

It was CLEARLY obvious to everyone watching at home that Ryder didnt get as loud of a pop as The Rock did... I dont care who was there, your trying too hard to make people give a crapabout Zack Ryder. It was a loud pop, but not the loudest. I thought it would be louder.
