Match/Stipulations:  The Mix [with Alex Riley] vs. the WWE Champion WWE Championship John Cena: "I Quit" Match for the WWE Championship

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 6/10

Match Storyline: 6/10

Crowd Participation: 10/10

On Commentary: Booker T., Josh Matthews & Jim Ross 7/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 6/10

Recommend Watch: 6/10

Match Total: 41/60 - this match is good

Comments: this match is fundamentally sound and it does its job. It turns into a 2-on-1 Handicap Match from the outset with Alex Riley participating as well, then we have The Miz getting a John Cena fan trying to encourage him to say "I Quit."I am not sure if this fan was a plant or not [in the wrestling industry is basically means someone in on the theater of professional wrestling.]

The only reason I bring this up is because next to this fan is his friend which I am pretty sure if there was anything going on here he didn't get the script as he slightly over speaks his friend and tells The Miz "You quit first." "And the Comedy moment of this Pay-Per-View goes to?... This fan for turning this serious moment into a moment of well timed and executed comedy."

Now towards the closing stages of this match John Cena seems to forget to sell the beat down he has received and then at the end of this match it's like he suddenly remembers.

Finally; Jim Ross on Commentary is priceless; with Matthews and Booker T. they just bring back a level of professionalism to the Commentary Team and yes Matthews and Booker T. on their own [as a team] do a fantastic job as well. But all I can say is what is the WWE's loss is respectfully AEW's gain [Jim Ross] and Impact Wrestling's gain as well [Josh Matthews.]

Basic Result: the WWE Champion WWE Championship John Cena Retains his WWE Championship

This Pay-Per-View receives: 4/10, this Pay-Per-View is mixed; to be more precise generally speaking it struggles not to be a chore to watch; the feud between Michael Cole and Jerry “The King" Lawler being a part of the Commentary Team for a lot of this Pay-Per-View just destroys this Pay-Per-View. What they should have done is just take them off the Commentary Team for this Pay-Per-View, so they could have concentrated on their match tonight, but more importantly; so much more importantly we don't have to hear them bickering at one another throughout the night.

But on top of that this Pay-Per-View Card is not the most solid of Cards I have ever seen, but in fairness and balance if we didn't have the situation with the Commentary Team; they could have potentially work together to cover it up, instead of leaving this mostly subpar Card exposed.

The highest ranking match on this Card based on attributes that we see would be: Christian vs. the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton: Singles Match for the World Heavyweight Championship with 60/60

The lowest ranking match on this Card based on attributes that we see would be: Kelly Kelly vs. the WWE Divas Championship Brie Bella [with her Real Life Twin Sister Nikki Bella:] Singles Match for the WWE Divas Championship with 15/60.

Match Total: 15/60 - this match is poor.

Comments: I hate this era of Women's Wrestling within this company with a passion; I have no patience for the D. word.

Even when I was much younger I found this era of Women's Wrestling to be hugely disrespectful, based on the grounds you don't see any of the individual Men's Championships being named for an example the WWE Prostate Championship do you? So I see absolutely no reason for the women to have their individual Championship to be named this D. word, when it could have been named something elegant and strong like the WWE Phoenix Championship.

We have the Commentary Team making references in one way or another to the fact that these are good-looking women or it is a boring match [I don't care that Cole is a Heel,] Woman Wrestling at this point in time in this company didn't need any help getting further disrespected by the WWE, I mean what they were basically subliminally telling their audience and viewers is on a relentless basis is "If you need to go to the toilet or get some refreshments we suggest you do it now? Or if you don't we have some sweet eye candy for you." That is the most nicest way I could think to put it; it's almost like these professional wrestlers were just here because sex sells and this company where not taking female wrestling seriously and trying to condition their fan base to see these women in the same way, but they did not succeed as they have with conditioning us to understand we don't matter or this entire Universe is based around the audience of one [Mr. McMahon;] which in turn means their Universe on the Main Rosters has been educated/programmed to expect disappointment and frustration with this Wrestling Promotion.

I mean this is what I mean about trying to condition their fan base we have Jerry “The King" Lawler saying "Cole all you do is disrespect the Divas, why don't you just sit there and shut up." So here was me thinking isn't that what you do Lawler by making excited sounds and sexual comments when you see a woman character/performer even the fact you have said the D. word is disrespectful in itself and this is just a little bit in one situation, but it happens a lot throughout this time period in this companies history; I mean at least in the 1980's they were seen as women and not just a cheap way to get the TV ratings up.

One final thing; aftermath involving the Commentary Team; specifically Cole and Lawler is boring me to tears.

Basic Result: the WWE Divas Championship Brie Bella Retains her WWE Divas Championship [with Nikki Bella]

Comments: so it has just taken 4 Matches to get to our first positive match of this Pay-Per-View talk about taking your time to give me something positive to talk about and highlight in this Pay-Per-View.

But this section of this Pay-Per-View didn't need Alberto Del Rio with his long entrance [with his own personal Ring-Announcer Ricardo Rodriguez] to give this interrupted promo [by the WWE Tag Team Champions Big Show & Kane; before their Championships defences; the only good thing about this is Kane& Big Show threaten to take care of him like they did with members of The New Nexus - Michael McGillicutty & David Otunga earlier on in the night if he doesn’t leave the ring right now. I mean this is a lot to go through to get a little pay off here.]

It was and is a complete waste of time; especially one; they had already done something similar with a promo at the beginning of a match with R-Truth and let's be honest that went down as well as a led balloon and two; I am finding this Pay-Per-View to be insufferable as it is already so in short I don't need any more reasons to find this Pay-Per-View hard work and tedious.

But to leave this blog on a positive; I can't be the only one thinking that this company should have done more with Mason Ryan; of what I remember [which I could be wrong;] he never really got given anything of substance or a push; it just seems like there was a lot of untapped talent and potential here.

Basic Result: the WWE Tag Team Champions Big Show & Kane Retain their Championships here.

Comments: this is one of those types of matches that really should have been put on first at the beginning of this Pay-Per-View Card, because it would have got the crowd up and enthusiastic for the night ahead. But as things are; to be fair to the crowd this poor Card so far is beginning to take its toll on them; yes there is some reaction from them in this match, but it is clear they are beginning to wane and I can't blame them really.

Basic Result: Sin Cara picks up the W. here

Match Total: 25/60 - this match is poor; but it showed glimpses of being a good match.

Comments: so the Michael Cole [Heel persona] is wearing a little bit thin already and just to clarify I am talking about go away heat/annoyance and not the positive of Heel heat,] as you can see in the category/attributes of On Commentary even at this early stage it is beginning to make a negative impact on this Pay-Per-View on the whole and I don't know if this comment came from Josh Matthews or if it is coming from the puppet master himself Mr. McMahon or one of his disciples [but Matthews says "Well, this is all Ezekiel Jackson has wanted, a one-on-one match with Wade Barrett no other members of The Core getting involved." This particular comment caught my attention.

Because you know when you hear something that is just odd to hear; what I am trying to say here is; it doesn't stipulate in the stipulations of this match that The Core are banned from ringside or if they get involved Barrett is stripped of the Intercontinental Championship. I know there have been many upon many of possibly millions upon millions of other matches in professional wrestling where Commentators have said something like Matthews has said here, but it doesn't usually stick out like a sore thumb and sounds unnatural, consequently and in hindsight telegrafs what eventually happens I mean you could have a good guess what happens but you don't need any help or assistance to get it spot on; this is another match that may as well have been put on their regular scheduled TV programming.

I know this is the Spoiler Version, they should have scripted but all I can say for now is we still have plenty of time with this Michael Cole Heel on this Pay-Per-View; won't this be fun? Not! I was thinking I would leave this section on a bombshell so there we go.

Basic Result: Ezekiel Jackson picks up the W. here

Match Total: 34/60 - this match is mixed; wow if this is how this Pay-Per-View is going to go we have a tough journey ahead of us.

Comments: what a great idea to have this Pay-Per-View to begin on some friction between Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler [because at this point they were feuding, I will discuss this more later on in this Pay-Per-View,] then to have this really paint by numbers Heel promo by R-Truth [in his "Little Jimmy" persona/gimmick,] then this aftermath between these two competitors. Basically this is how you don't set the tone for your Pay-Per-View they may as well have had this match on their regular scheduled programming; yes Rey Mysterio doesn't have poor matches, he always seems to make something out of what was given to him, so if you're wondering about the marking of the Recommend Watch category and attributes it is based on everything in this opening segment; please tell me generally speaking it gets better from here?

Basic Result: R-Truth goes over here with picking up the W.
