Did Nash really mess up the pedigree to be fair? His leg was worked on the entire match, kinda made sense that he would just collapse during a pedigree attempt. I don't know if it was a botch or done on purpose, but it made perfect sense. When it happened, I actually thought it was a pretty nice touch. He was either selling really well, in legitimate pain, or he simply screwed up. Regardless, it worked.

PPV of the year besides MITB. Punk remains Champion, Bryan cashes in the wins the World Title, Ryder wins US Title, Orton/Barrett put on a good Tables match and HHH/Nash turned out great.

Just finished the pay-per-view, and haven't started reading through this thread yet so I don't know the general consensus of opinion, but to add mine:
- I thought the PPV was fantastic, the best 'lower key' PPV of the year. - Zack Ryder's genuine passion for winning a mid-card title was superb - it's passion like that which makes those belts mean something. - Cody Rhodes and Booker T was booked superbly all night. - The Triple Threat Main Event exceeded all expectations I had for it. - Mark Henry and Big Show was exactly what I expected from them. A bit short but in all honesty, it should be that way with these guys. Daniel Bryan's cash in was amazing. I think it's a little bit early in truth, but if they book him well over the next few months, it really doesn't matter. - I enjoyed the Nash/Trips match. What they lost in poor endurance and fatigue they made up for in insightful storytelling. Their past as friends, working on the knee, Nash falling when HHH went for the Pedigree, Hunter's emotion while repeatedly smashing Nash with the sledgehammer, the Kliq sign followed by the Crotch Chop before the final blow. Honestly, it was tremendous.

yeah it was a solid show all around HHH/Nash was great. I didn't expect them to go out there and put on a clinic. They beat the hell out of each other, props to Nash for taking that table bump too. Both guys went all out for today's standards and it was great.
I am still buzzing over DBryan cashing in. Just incredible. I really hope with all of my being that they have something big planned for him with the title...to be able to get the crowds more behind him on a regular basis. I hope he's not going to just go heel and be fed to Randy Orton.

I agree, great night for WWE. Bryan and Ryder holding titles can only help the company pushing the younger talent. Loved it!

Just finished it! Fantastic PPV, think this might be the best of the year after MITB. Only other ones that come close IMO are Extreme Rules and Royal Rumble.
- Daniel Bryan cashing in was totally unexpected, and I was dancing around marking out. So happy for the guy, I just hope this doesn't mean he misses out on his Wrestlemania main event!
- ADR/Punk/Miz was MOTN. I love me a TLC match, and this one didn't disappoint at all. I totally expected Punk to retain, but there were genuine moments of fear when the Miz scuttled up the ladder (like Miz, but not as champ atm - was rooting for Punk or ADR). So many sick spots, the best though was courtesy of Mr. Rodriguez. Honestly, I LOVE this character and he's great and all but I kinda want to see him wrestle. He is mind blowingly awesome from what little of his career I've seen prior to WWE.
Maybe we could get him as a masked wrestler AND keep him as ADR's assistant, ultimately ending in a sweet ass story where he 'stands up' to Del Rio's malicious ways as Chimera then ADR unmasks him or something?! IDK, that sounds kickass to me. Still, he deserves major props.
- Nash/HHH was great. The ending with Nash doing the Kliq symbol particularly made me go 'ddddaawwwwww'. The psychology there was great throughout though, and for two guys who are way past their prime, I was fixed.
- Air Boom/Epico and Primo was a nice surprise. I think these two put on an AWESOME match and clearly all 4 have good chemistry. Shades of 2006, when tag teams actually existed!
- Skipped divas and Sheamus/Swagger
- Orton/Barrett did good. Not the MOTN by any means, but I was pretty into the match and the ending was awesome.
- Doph/Ryder was a great match. I was 'meh' about Ryder's win because it was blatantly happening and I'm still not TOTALLY sold on the guy. That was until they showed us Big O and Zack's Dad in the crowd and I was like, aww this must mean a lot to the guy - he deserves it.
Amazing PPV. I've been a little sour on WWE lately, but they really knocked it outta the park here. AND MOTHER FLIPPIN DANIEL BRYAN IN CHAMPIONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEAAAHH BOI

This PPV was definatly one of the best of the year, the only thing I did not like about Bryan`s cash in was the timing. I was really hoping he would have the "boy hood dream" routine at Wrestlemania, which would have really brought him up as a solid main eventer. Instead he cashed in on a knocked out Big Show, going against his word and doing the exact thing he said he wouldnt.
"It means nothing if I cash in on a knocked out champion". That interview was great and everything he said was truth. I really liked the direction his character was going. Unforchantly it seems he is now going the heel route and will probably lose the belt within a month to Randy Orton. I have no problem with heel Bryan, but now was not the time for that or the title win.
Regardless it is still pretty epic having Bryan and Punk as World Champs, although Wrestlemania would have been a better time/

Daniel Bryan being WHC is still flooring, prior to these past few months, WWE hasn't really treated him as being worthy, though we all know he is.
Ryder's build to the US title was a fun ride, on and off WWE television, and it's only going to get bigger from here on out.
I need to see this PPV!

The diva match was okay I guess. Nothing too special but then again it was unadvertised so they probably had little time to prepare. Beth could be heard calling spots and Kelly did botch her K2 spot [that was going to get reversed]. The finish was different I just don't want Beth to abandon the Glam Slam. Ryder/Ziggler had a pretty good match. Damn does Ziggler sell well. He really tries to make the Rough Ryder look legit. For losing to Ryder I really hope WWE bumps him to main eventer. He needs to have a one on one WWE title match with Punk at the Royal Rumble.
