Overall I thought it was a great PPV.....the under-card matches were worthless but the main-events delivered top-class action and a nice little swerve and set the stage for Wrestlemania nicely.
I really enjoyed the Raw chamber match and it gets match of the night from me, keeping the eliminations until everyone was in the match was a nice touch as its rarely done, Orton was super-over and the fans hated it when he went all heelish and teamed up with Dibiase, Cena got his trademark mixed reaction. I enjoyed the exchanges between Sheamus and Triple H and the crowd were really in to it as well, I think these two can produce a decent match at Mania. I was expecting a bit more development in the Orton/Legacy storyline, they really just need to pull the trigger on a Orton face-turn rather than just dragging it out now as people will lose interest. The Batista swerve was good, very unpredictable and explains why big Dave has been acting the way he has recently, once again I thought Dave's heel work was first-class and fairplay to Cena who sold the spear beautifully. Kane vs Drew Mcintyre was like watching paint dry, I've always been a Kane fan but I really think his best days are behind him now, he cant carry a guy like Mcintyre to a good match, Drew is still struggling to get fans to care about him although I think he may get there. The Divas match was a waste of air-time, WWE puts such little effort in to the womens-division I never really have any interest in the matches, I would have liked to have seen Gail vs Maryse one on one though but once it was pointlessly made in to a tag-match I switched off. I'm enjoying Miz being able to air his thoughts on the whole mentoring Daniel Bryan issue and I like how they've made it in to a shoot-angle of sorts. Another unannounced match between MVP and Miz was a insult to both men who are such great talents, pretty dull match with a predictable finish, they would have been wise to build this one up for Mania but they've screwed that up now, its more likely we will get Henry/MVP vs Show-Miz. The Regal promo was vintage-Regal stuff, loved his line about such wonderfull people as the fans chanted ''WHAT!!'' Really this only existed though to push NXT a little and give Edge some air-time, Edge got a great pop but I worry his character is becoming watered down already as a face. Finally another superb chamber match, Raw got match of the night from me but really there was nothing between the two in terms of quality. Was a shame to see R-Truth jobbed out quickly, WWE really need to do more with this guy but I have a feeling they dont have enough confidence in him to work longer matches hence his fast elimination. Punk was on top-form with his preaching, loved the line about putting your hand on the tv and let CM Punk flow through you. ![]() Great exchanges between Punk and Mysterio, I would have kept Punk in the match for longer personally, the match continued at a fairly fast pace right untill the end, Mysterio looked great throughout it has to be said, his twist in to a dragon-sleeper spot on Jericho looked really good. The ending we knew was coming but it set up Mania and hopefully this time Shawn Michaels will go full blown heel, HBK is at his best as a heel and it will put a different spin on the Mania match from last year where both men worked as faces/tweeners. Really good WWE PPV, enjoyed it alot. ![]() |

Punk having mic time during a match is starting to become a pay per view tradition
I'd have liked for Truth to have played a bigger part in the match instead of just being their to make up numbers.

If you look at the history of The Undertaker's losses, most of his losses all come at by interferance or by him getting nailed by a weapon (urn, steel chair, sledgehammer), as it makes the gimmick look more powerful and it works.

300K plus buys for a B show is excellent and can't be sniffed at.
It's a gimmick heavy pay per view but this time around it doesn't seem to have hampered things.
The show should sell plenty of DVDs too because it wasn't bad to watch.

The Elimination Chamber is one PPV I dont mind being gimmick-match heavy as the EC matches always produce quality action and they set the stage for Wrestlemania perfectly.
I would say it is easilly the best of the B-level PPV's throughout the year. |
