I preferred Over the Limit, which was probably helped by the fact it got zero build-up.

And one thing I forgot to mention regarding that Japan episode. THE CROWD! They are so different compared to American crowds in Japan. They're deeply concentrating on the action and clap their hands as show of respect whenever something happens. Reminds me of football (soccer for Americans) crowds when a player is replaced by another in the pitch.

[Obfuscation]

Yeah crowds in Japan are boss. Especially when the match reaches a fever pitch. Oh my god, such an atmosphere. They're the best. They hang on every big move. Every nearfall. It really does make matches over there feel even bigger.

Royal Rumble '10 came today. Only Rumble I haven't seen from '92 on.

Fun PPV. Ezekial Jackson has a career performance, Michelle McCool gets owned for being an awful twat, Undertaker/Mysterio, & EDGE.

oh and be prepared for the worst rebuttal ever by R-Truth. He likes bacon.

I honestly forget Truth was in WWE before he turned heel.

The Rumble itself seems fun and I've heard positive things. And Taker/Rey is a match I've never seen that seems really interesting. I remember liking Zeke/Christian from that last ECW show.

[Choke2Death]

Mysterio/Taker was a pretty good match. Nice to see them get more than 5 minutes and a PPV match. ***1/2 for me.

[Obfuscation]

Don't blame ya. He's still useless, lolz.

Yeah Rumble was plenty of fun. PUNK carried it for a 1/3 of the match. It's one of my personal favorites thanks to him.

Taker vs Mysterio is . Really interesting dynamic. So rare to see them duke it out too. I liked how the PPV had one main event match Heel vs Heel (Sheamus vs Orton) and the other being Face vs Face.

Christian vs Jackson on there is even better than their Extreme Rules match on ECW. Simply put, it's good stuff. Christian really made Jackson look like a credible worker.

[Brye]

Better than the extreme rules? Hell yeah!

And I'm so glad we at least got Taker/Rey. Doesn't seem likely we'll get Rey/Trips.

I can't imagine Sheamus/Orton being too good from that show. If I recall Orton was transitioning to face and Sheamus really hadn't found himself yet.

[Obfuscation]

It is imo. So lets hope you feel the same way now after being pumped.

Yeah, that's not gonna go down. Especially with Triple H never going to be a working heel again. Only thing we got between them was the 3 vs 2 Handicap match from Saturday Night's Main Event iirc.

It isn't. It's not bad, per say, but it's mostly a match where they wear each other down and it has a bad, abrupt finish. As the year rolled on their matches only got stronger.

Awesome. God, I loved WWECW, especially in '09/'10. So many good matches coming out of it.

They had some really fun exchanges in the '06 RR as well. That 3v2 match owns, glad it's on the WM 22, along with the rest of that show.

I see, I see. I'll agree to that. I liked the SS match and while the HIAC seemed sort of pointless for their feud, I thought it was good. It REALLY had no reason to be in a cell though, imo.
