I think it sounds like a decent PPV. Good to see the IC title take a back seat in a pointless Orton win.

Love the sounds of the LMS match. We knew there would be interferance, and Im glad Del Rio wins. Love the idea of them wrestling on a busted ring, looking forward to seeing that one.

I personally thought that it was a really strong PPV with some excellent matches:

- The tag team match gave a great opening to the show and gave it good energy
- Dolph Ziggler could probably sell his grandma... heck, he could probably sell my grandma and she has been dead for three years
- Losing the tag match and then winning his US title match makes Dolph look really strong, end of the Ryder push or will he win it on a random episode of Raw?
- The divas match was high quality and goes to show what can be done when two competitors with ability have time in the ring ... well done for them and for the WWE for giving them time and not putting them in the bathroom break slot
- Christian is the WWE whipping boy, but it is doubtful if it will affect his status. Basically Christian is 2011's CM Punk
- Sheamus looks more and more likely to be the one to eventually dethrone Mark Henry, though it will be interesting what he does between now and that time, feud with Wade Barrett?
- HHH/Punk v Miz/Truth had a rather odd spot on the card, though given what happened it is unsurprising. To me the whole match felt like it was just a case of waiting for the inevitable interference and therefore disappointed as a contest where most other matches were pleasantly surprising
- It would appear as though Punk has been completely shunted out of this and HHH v Nash is the rivalry 2002 forgot, revisited
- If they turn HHH now it will be completely illogical. Not to say that they won't, but how can you do this now?
- Will HHH sell the injury as the reason for recruiting Rock and/or another legend for the SS match?
- Thought Randy and Cody put on a very classy match though all I would say is I think that they look their best when paired with someone a little bit more different in style to themselves... they are very similar and it just all looked a little too slick for me, though a second viewing may change that
- I thought that Cody was left looking as strong as he could. After all he is facing a multi-time former Champion and therefore was not going to be able to win clean and I didn't think (this time) had the right to kick out of an RKO.
- Assuming that neither are in the multi-tag match at SS I would expect another match between them before possibly a finale at TLC. I think there would be real cause for Cody to get a cheap win at SS before winning a ladder match at TLC to come out on top. This would, I think, make both look strong
- Mark Henry v Big Show was a lot better than I was expecting and shows that both can pull some great moves and spots out when it is a WHC match. Credit where credit is due I didn't think that the Big Show certainly had it in him. I would not have a problem seeing a repeat of this at SS though I still maintain that a TLC match at TLC (as is apparently rumoured) is a step too far!
- The LMS match was really good and I think showed off both men in a very good way. ADR was able to win reasonably clean and able to overcome some tough situations as well giving him some credibility to boot. Loved the way that ADR sold the weight of those steel boards when pushing them on Cena
- I was a little disappointing with the ending of the LMS match, a title belt shot to the head getting a 10 count? A little disappointing and while I am no real fan of blood for blood's sake, I thought that a LMS match would be a reasonable situation to see it.

Overall I was really impressed with the content of the PPV and hope that the WWE will be able to carry this on to SS!

A decent ppv

The tag match was a good start to the night and i was acctually very impressed with the match. Staight after we had the Ryder match and i was so upset to see him not win.

The CM Punk match was good. Great to see Nash back and i think its safe to say he will be apart of the 5 on 5 match at SS.

The Big Show Mark Henry ring explosion in my view was always going to happen when they both went up to the top of the turnbuckle. Pretty good to see though !

Cena match was exclent. Delighted that Del Rio won. I think he will defend his title at SS against Punk. Maybe Rey ? Was Del Rio that injured him but is he fit to come back ?

Raw should be good tonight

Was very impressed with Vengeance. It had great spots all the way through and was a solid PPV. The Miz / Truth promo backstage about sucking up was brilliant. (and their new combined finishing move they did looks lethal!)

watched some of this last nite incl the HHH match thought it was really good gona watch the rest tonite.

Did anyone else think that HHH looks abit lardy now? looked like to me he had a bit of a gut going on there

For once I enjoyed more than one match at a WWE PPV. Orton and Rhodes was match of the night. Thought Del Rio was brilliant in his match with Cena. It was good not to see a Cena squash.

I guess by the ending we are seeing the build up to Survivor Series. I do hope that Punk is not going to have his push squashed by being aligned with HHH and Cena. I hope after SS he is pushed alone against Del Rio.

stayed up for it last night , was impressed by the quality of the wrestling . Credit to Dolph for double dutying - the Tag Team title match was the right match to open the show with , and Ziggler/Ryder was great .

Hope HHH is ok , Nash botched the Jackknife quite badly , and HHH landed on his neck.

Punk has to be in The Survivor Series match IMO, it's a far bigger story than Del Rio and he has history with Miz, Nash and Truth, he also has history with Cena and Rock, he has to be involved in that match.

Couldn't believe Booker was saying he'd never seen a ring broken before, also, not quite sure why Henry was meant to sell an injury, excellent PPV though, the WWE have put on some belters this year

9 times out of 10 both guys will sell a superplex from the top. It only makes sense the both oversell a ring exploding.

Agreed, now if WWE can keep it up from now til WM then we are in for a treat.

I think it was a solid pay per view, obviously nothing too spectacular, but I don't think you should expect that from what was just one of the smaller PPVs.

I thought the show was ordered well, it was a nice surprise seeing the Triple H/CM Punk match in the middle of the card, and I think because of the way it ended I'm glad it didn't close the show, although I think Triple H looked legit injured.

The tag match was very good, I'm glad Air Boom retained as they're a good tag team and have good chemistry. I was worried that Ziggler might get a little buried had he lost two matches in a row, but it was well booked and shows WWE's confidence in Ziggler to have him in two matches, albeit if the second one was fairly short.

I felt the Punk/Haitch vs. Miz/Truth match was alright but I agree with Josh that the match did feel a bit like it was just waiting for Nash to interfere, and I am slightly worried that CM Punk may take the back seat in a feud between Nash and Triple H, but saying that it might actually liberate Punk from Nash and allow him to have a better feud with somebody else and return to Triple H closer to 'Mania time. I also agree with Andthen1 that Triple H looked slightly out of shape.

Sheamus-Christian and Rhodes-Orton were both decent matches, and I would be surprised if Rhodes and Orton were finished with each other now, but I think Sheamus should move on from Christian now.

I was surprised at the quality of Big Show/Mark Henry match it wasn't amazing, but I thought the spot was very good, and considering Lesnar's one was years ago it was acceptable for them to use that idea again I think. Somebody up there said they wouldn't like to see them in a TLC match, but I think those two could have some awesome spots if they were willing to take some big bumps.

Del Rio and Cena was also a good match, something different with the collapsed ring as well, the Truth and Miz interference also keeps the main storylines going, Del Rio winning was also a good move as he's only going to get better if you let him run with the title and a good story. I think the title being used as a weapon to keep him down for 10 was strange though.

Overall a good PPV, probably around 7.5/10 which is a good for a PPV like this, considering over the past couple of years WWE would probably have had a 4/10 PPV instead.

The way of getting round the TLC thing would be to have Big Show vs Henry (possibly vs Kane as well) in a tables match. Thereby avoiding the ladders all together

This PPV belonged to Ziggler and Awesome Truth. I have to say I prefered Cena's outfit yesterday, his shirt was actually quite good. Punk needs to get himself in the limelight as he is starting to slowly escape it. This Survivor series match could be the best ever in my opinion. Punk, Cena, Rock, HHH and Sheamus vs Miz, Truth, Nash, Ziggler and Foley.

I know why they did it I just didn't get it, he essentially fell about three feet

They would probably claim that the typical support that the ring offers was compromised by its destruction etc

The initial impact would be the same though for Henry, I just don't buy that it near on killed him, I'd understand it if it was off the top of a cage or even the top rope, from the second though I just didn't buy it, could understand Show though

I thought it was a pretty solid ppv. None of the matches were close to being 5 star matches but all of them were of a good standard.

I thought the LMS in the collapsed ring was well done. The bits where they used the broken ring post and when del rio was thrown straight to the barrier were good because they were unique. I also like the spot when cena was thrown through the V. I know you could see the cardboard but just thought it was a good spot.

I know it's a nice bit of nostalgia & a great show of respect to a true WWE legend but am I the only one who thinks CM Punk's flying elbow looks horrific? If John Cena was imitating this move & he displayed the same lack of grace & finesse off the top rope as Punk the Internet would go into meltdown

He never seems to have his opponent set up for it, his opponent should be lying side on but mostly it's straight on, still I doubt it's accidental, he'probably trying to put his own stamp on it, it's nowhere near as good as Savage's tho'

Managed to watch the last of Vengeance this moring.

Match of the night IMO was the opening match. Ziggler just impresses me more & more each week. Fast paced, just what a classic tag match needs shame we only get to see a couple of these which are decent a few times a year.

I actually found the whole Awesome Truth./HHH/Punk match boring. What actually bugs me is that even though Alberto won, it wasn't cleanly. I mean they wonder why the writers/creative can't get people over to the audience as main eventers, its things like that which is why. There was no need for either Miz or Truth to be there. It just degrades the whole thing of Del Rio being champion.

Not seen Raw yet, and I'm avoiding the spoliers untill I get to watch it either tonight, or tomorrow moring. Raw to me just seems so stale at the moment you can almost predict whats going to happen most weeks.
Opens with Promo's, finished with a tag match, Normally a 6 or 8 man tag match somewhere in the middle, 1 minute diva's match, Cena will proberly go over Del Rio, and I expect Nash to be there doing something. Also why is David Otunga always wearing a bow tie?
