Was'nt really bad for Raw's first PPV of 006. But the ending was really really shocking to everyone in attendance & the ones who were watching at home.FIRST MATCH- RIC FLAIR VS. EDGE W/ LITA FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Not a bad opener, these two can seriously put on a great match if they had more time to put on a wrestling match. Flair wins by DQ after Edge slams him with his MITB briefcase. 3/10 SECOND MATCH- TRISH STRATUS VS. MICKIE JAMES FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP Not bad noticing the fact that this is the first time these Divas faced off in the ring together. Mickie goes for a modified Chick Kick, but Trish ducks & nails her own Chick Kick for the win to retain her title. 3/10 THIRD MATCH- TRIPLE H VS. BIG SHOW Seriously good this match was, really. The whole match HHH focuses on Big Show's injured arm but Big Show still fights back. Later HHH is able to topple down Big Show & nails a Pedigree for the win. 5/10 FOURTH MATCH- SHELTON BENJAMIN W/ MAMA VS. VISCERA {This was a bonus match} Not that bad, it was alright. After Viscera was down, behind the referee, Benjamin's mama got a purse {Which had bricks in it} & slammed Viscera on the head with it three times. Viscera got up only to get caught with a spinning heel kick by Benjamin for the win against the big man. 4/10FIFTH MATCH- JERRY 'THE KING' LAWLER VS. GREGORY HELMS Boring, slow & sloppy. Both men didn't really put a very good effort. Jerry Lawler wins after a Fist Drop for the win. 2/10SIXTH MATCH- TORRIE Wilson VS. VICTORIA VS. ASHLEY VS. MARIA VS. CANDICE MICHELLE IN A FIRST EVER WOMEN'S GAUNTLET MATCH It was pretty entertaining to me. Ashley {I think} eliminates Candice last to win the first ever Women's Gauntlet match. 5/10 SEVENTH MATCH- JOHN CENA VS. CHRIS MASTERS VS. CARLITO VS. SHAWN MICHAELS VS. KANE VS. KURT ANGLE W/ DAIVARI IN AN ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP It was a cool Elimination chamber match. But nothing will top last year's Elimination Chamber which was the best. The last three are Masters, Cena & Carlito. Carlito turns his back on Masters & gets a roll-up on him to eliminate him. Seconds later Cena gets a roll-up on Carlito for the three count to win the Elimination Chamber & retain his WWE Title. But his night was not over yet. 7/10 After the match, Vince McMahon comes out & congratulates Cena for his victory. Vince McMahon states that his night is not over yet, & says that Edge cashes in his Money In The Bank opportunity to challenge Cena for the title. Edge comes out with Lita, gives the briefcase to Vince & heads off in the ring as Cena has one more match to go here tonight.EIGHT MATCH- JOHN CENA VS. EDGE W/ LITA FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP {Cena who is busted open during the Chamber match} gets pounded straight away by Edge, Edge then nails a Spear on Cena, goes for the cover & to his shock Cena breaks out. Edge nails another Spear & covers for the shocking three count as he has beat Cena & has won the WWE Championship for the first time in his career. 1/10 So last year's New Years Revolution was better than this year's, but it was still alright. The EC match was also good & the shocking of Edge cashing in his MITB opportunity is definitely the most shockingest on the PPV show.Overall: I'll give it 7/10 & a C
... View More1)Intercontinental Title: Ric Flair vs Edge (with Lita)About as good as it gets from Flair these days, he actually picked Edge up. Highlight of the match is Flair's pelvic thrusts and woos towards Lita. Flair wins by DQ when Edge smashes him with the brief case (had to get that in one last time didn't they?) Match rating:2 out of 52) Mickie James vs Trish StratusSurprisingly good women's match, kinda cool that they're letting the women do technical wrestling now. Mickie James gets the Mick Kick but takes to long to cover so Trish wins with the chick kick. Best you'll see from the women. 3.5 out of 5 (by women's standards)3) Gregory Helms vs Jerry Lawler Where are you, Rob Conway? I'm not even going to try to describe what happens in this "match". Jerry Lawler wins with the fist drop. Wow. Match rating 0 out of 5. 4)Big Show vs Triple H Stop complaining, Triple H has done a lot of losing lately. This one goes back and forth. Triple H does his best to carry the mammoth and uses his resourcefulness to get the cast off. Triple H hits him with a piece of sledgehammer and wins with an even worse pedigree than the one he did on viscera. Match rating 3 out of 55)Shelton Benjamin vs Viscera Where are you, Rob Conway? Worst Benjamin match ever. My friend and I stopped and played chess during the middle of this one. We had to put it on mute because Shelton's mama wouldn't shut her aunt Jamima yap. Benjamin wins with a spin kick that never pins anyone but was good enough here. Match rating 1 out of 5.6)Bra and Panties Gauntlet Match: Boobies, booty's. All you need to know. Ashley and ever male in the audience and watching at home wins. Match rating 500 out of 5.7)WWE Title: John Cena vs Kane vs HBK vs Angle vs Carlito vs Disasters Order of entry: HBK, Cena, Carlito, Angle, Masters, Kane. Order of elimination: Angle, Kane, HBK, Masters, Carlito. Worst. Chamber. Ever. Nothing could top this suck-age. The best guy was eliminated first and the best two below him right after that. This left us with Carlito, Masters, and Cena in the same situation where we had Batista, Orton, and Triple H last year. Drop off in talent anyone?! Masters is double crossed and rolled up by Carlito who is immediately rolled up by Cena. Puke.8) WWE Title: John Cena vs Edge What a shocker. Vince knew he had to do something to save this crap fest. He's not as far gone from what the fans want as we think. It's just that when you give them everything they want right away... it turns into Smackdown. Edge cashes in his money in the bank brief case (it's my theory that he's been using the brief case as his finisher to work on his weak spear) He spears Cena to hell the first time, possibly the best one I've seen him do since he took out Orton with a great one on his return. Cena kicks out. Puke. He lines up and hits another spear. I tell my friend if Cena kicks out of this then we won't know what happens cuz the coffee table is going through the screen. But he doesn't kick out, Cena falls for the 1-2-3. New champion, great moment for a guy who really deserved it. Great to see Cena lose the title. May he never gain it back. Match rating: 5 out 5 for shock value.
... View MoreFor some reason WWE has this thing about New Years Revolution. Firstly they have an abysmal under card and secondly they throw in the Elimination chamber. This years New Years Revolution was no different, it was crap basically.Results from the show: Ric Flair defeated Edge via DQ to retain the Intercontinental Championship in an average match. Trish Stratus defeated Mickie James to retain the Women's Championship in an enjoyable match. Shelton Benjamin defeated Viscera in a passable match. Triple H defeated Big Show in a decent brawl. Jerry Lawler defeated Gregory Helms in a passable match. Ashley won the bra and panties gauntlet match. John Cena defeated Carlito, Chris Masters, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle and Kane in a passable Elimination Chamber match. Edge defeated John Cena to win the WWE Championship.Not good! Overall Grade - D
... View MoreA very poor pay per view, which was only saved a rating of 5, by the shock that happened at the end. anyone who tells you differently is lying and is purely over excited just because cena lost the title. it was an awful pay per view.1. Ric Flair Vs Edge IC TITLE 5/10 Not great, all ric flair obviously did was chop, the ending was pathetic.2. Mickie James vs Trish Stratus WOMENS TITLE 4/10 a decent womens match though overshadowed by mickie james sloppiness, shes better then a lot but she still needs a bit of work.3. Jerry Lawler Vs Gregory Helms 3/10 A card filler, no i repeat that a crap card filler, nobody cared and rightly so.4. Big Show Vs Triple H 6/10 A decent match certainly better then the others, was a bit slow though , but what do you expect from Big Slow, i mean Big Show.5. Shelton Benjamin Vs Viscera 3/10 Another woeful card filler made even worse by the loudness of Benjy's "Momma"6. Bra and Panties gauntlet - Ill rate this one on how good the divas look, Torrie 8/10 Victoria 8/10 Maria 7.5/10 Ashley 9.5/10 Candice 9/107. Elimination Chamber 7/10 Best match of the night but the worse chamber so far, crowd was well into it or should i say well into cena, for and against, lots of boos and cheers but you could hear the boo boys loud and clear, which slightly took away the gist of the match , it was meant to be a chamber match, not a war between cena and his haters.elimination orders were done in a strange way and not in a good way, then of course the win is completed by a few roll ups, great!! NOT!8. EDGE VS JOHN CENA WWE TITLE 0/10 FOR CENA FANS....10/10 FOR NON CENA FANS...THATS THE BEST WAY TO SUM UP THIS SHOCKING MOMENT. IT WAS SHOCKING CUS THE MATCH Wasn't SCHEDULED..AND WE JUST HAD A CHAMBER, YET EDGE COMES DOWN AND WINS THE TITLE...HALF THE CROWD ARE IN SHOCK AND DEVASTATION AND LOOK LIKE THERE GONNA CRY, I GUESS THOSE WERE THE CENA FANS, THE OTHER HALF CENA HATERS WERE ESTATIC, THOUGH ONE GUY IN A YELLOW SHIRT TOOK IT A BIT TOO FAR, JUMPING UP AND DOWN LIKE AN IDIOT Wasn't Necessary. MY GOD THIS WAS SO SHOCKIN!!!
