Capitol Punishment Thoughts

So kicking it off nice promo they aired to start with and nice set up with the whole White House look. Sadly the commentators are Booker T, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler and i'm sure this is one of the first time the Spanish Announce team have been at ringside for a recent Pay Per View. I'm guessing something is going to happen to their table as I don't know the last time I've seen them at a Pay Per View.

First match is United States Champion, Kofi Kingston Vs Dolph Ziggler for the title. This was a pretty strong opening to the show and quite a decent match. I'm glad Dolph Ziggler has now gained the title and hopefully that means a Kingston win at Money In The Bank maybe, sure as hell expect he will be in the Raw Money In The Bank Match. Vickie now has something to brag about when it comes to managing duties.

A limo arrives after the match and it is R-Truth who also has Cena's championship and has a funny catchphrase, "The Champ is in the house, for shizzle". Truth is also inviting a few people to the party he is having. We then get an interview with, The Miz. He claims as many people would that, Alex Riley is going to lose the match. A nice video package airs about how Riley was Miz's lackey if anything and how now turned on him.

Miz is first out and still has the "AWESOME" entrance set which is kind of awesome due to the fact it is Pay Per View exclusive. Alex Riley comes out to his awesome theme and gets a great reaction from the crowd again. Yet again another decent match and Riley does come out with the victory as everyone was hoping for, i'm expecting the feud to carry on until Miz beats Riley.

Sargent Slaughter is backstage with a horrible Obama look-a-like in what was also a poor backstage segment. Again anther promo video for another match and this time it is Big Show Vs Alberto Del Rio. What a match i'm expecting here.

Alberto Del Rio arrives in such a beautiful car and he is without Ricardo Rodriguez who got beat up by The Big Show. Before Del Rio could even make it into the ring, The Big Show beat him up around the outside of the ring. Mark Henry then turned up and attacked The Big Show. The Spanish announcers table got destroyed by a Worlds Strongest Slam to The Big Show. One thing that made me laugh is the commentators acting shocked that The Big Show was picked up by Mark Henry yet Cena has hit the Attitude Adjustment to  The Big Show in the past. The match itself was quite boring compared to the spontaneous attack from Mark Henry.

R-Truth backstage asks the photographer for the WWE to take promo shots of him with the title. Wade Barrett is next cutting a promo about how he isn't happy to be in the USA and that it needs a monarchy. He mocks the education system in America as well as the debt in America.

Ezekiel Jackson Vs Wade Barrett is the match and it is for the Intercontinental Championship. This match was pretty boring and you could tell that by the fact the most memorable part was when the fans were chanting for Zack Ryder to appear. Hopefully he does on Raw in some capacity. Big Zeke finally captures the Intercontinental Championship as expected.

Backstage Santino, Beth Phoenix and Kelly Kelly have a short segment with the fake-Obama. Santino gets taken ou by fake-Obama's security as they thought he was going to attack FAKE-Obama with "The Cobra" which Santino says is a devastating finishing maneuver. CM Punk has an interview next and states that Washington, D.C. is the birthplace for straight edge yet it is the home area for the corrupt politicians.He then goes on to say in he is going to beat Rey Mysterio and after he does he is going to do the most honest thing in the WWE.

Rey Mysterio comes out for the match first and then is followed by CM Punk obviously in entrance wise. In what so far has been probably the match of the night other than the Ziggler/Kingston match CM Punk came out victorious. This is a victory for all as CM Punk has finally won at a Pay Per View again.

Christian Vs Randy Orton is the Next match and what a match it was as expected. Orton picked up the victory again and hopefully the feud continues so Christian gets that chance of being champion again. It's what the, oh wait the fans don't want it as Christian is a heel. Still it's what a select amount of fans want. Or maybe give it to Sheamus.

We get an advertisement of Money In The Bank next and why is The Big Show doing the voice over for this and even more why was he doing the advert overall. We here Hornswoggle talk again... I think they need to stop this whole Hornswoggle can't talk because he is a leprechaun thing as this is the second time we have heard him speak. Straight after the advert we get Shane O'Mac's theme song, sadly he isn't coming out.

OK to tell the truth I've skipped the match between Evan Bourne and Jack Swagger due to the fact that match didn't deserve to be on pay per view. If it was good I'll go back and watch it but as a filler match it was just a big now. I would have been happier with a Tag Title filler match. Evan Bourne was victorious though. I also skipped the Booker T and Fake Obama segment.

Finally it's now time for the main event, WWE Championship match. John Cena Vs R-Truth. John Cena retained the title. This match was pretty decent. A disappointment that R-Truth didn't get the title but beggers can't be choosers. Anyway back too it R-Truth just before getting pinned after an Attitude Adjustment had a drink thrown into his face by a little Jimmy in the audience which Truth had stole the drink before hand.

Was a good pay per view in my opinion. Others have said it was poor, I wouldn't have paid for it myself but overall was a good pay per view.
