Paul Heyman opens in the ring
Heyman starts to cut a promo about the Elimation Chamber. Now he reveals the weapons. A chair, table, crowbar, & barbed wire baseball bat. Pretty decent opening segment
(/) RVD Vs Sabu
Pretty kickass match. Before watching I can tell it's going to be a good one. Starts off with a good pace, Sabu blows a major spot right from the get go. I think this recent heat on him is getting to him. RVD & Sabu collide hardcore into each other. Sabu's mouth starts bleeding. Definitely wasn't supposed to happen that way. Sabu blows another spot this time it looks like it hurts bad. He tried to do a power bomb over the ropes onto the outside mat. Instead RVD held onto the ropes, and Sabu landed awkwardly on his back. RVD hits a german suplex that looks really stiff. Sabu looks like he almost snaps his neck during it. Stiff Rolling Thunder. Crazy 5 Star Frog Splash from the top for the win. Pretty decent match. Sabu definitly was out of it
(+) Sylevestor Turkey & Elisha Bourke Vs The Hardy Boyz
Hardy Boyz fighting again? Jeez ton of matches for them as of late. The match turns out to be an okay squash match. The other team actually seems to pretty cool, dont see why they squashed them so bad. I would think they'd build a team like that, instead of having the Hardy Boyz destroy them. Why not just use FBI to get destroyed? Anyway, Hardy Boyz destroyed them quick, and won. Here comes MNM for the beatdown. Hardy Boyz left in the middle of the ring. Not really sure why they decided to put MNM back together. Nitro was on a roll, why put him back down in the card. They should have simply had Mercury comeback, have a quick feud between the two, and end it. That would have been fine. Or even have Mercury on his own from the get go, and put him in ECW.
(/) CM Punk Vs Test
A real quick match, Test has huge fucking zits on his back. Talk about juicing this guy is looking bigger by the week. He literally has bigger zits than Snitsky did. The match was pretty weak, and ended in a double count out. They had CM Punk beating down Test on the outside. Overall was really not interesting at all.
(-) Paul Heyman & Big Show walking backstage
A Quick segment where Paul Heyman is telling Show not to wrestle, and to just wait till Sunday. Didnt really accomplish much.
(/) MNM In the back talking about fighting The Hardys.
Its painful to watch MNM try to recreate something that is so done with. Its totally backwards, and really is boring as hell. They should have just had a TLC Match between the Hardys & Edge & Orton on the PPV. That would have been way better than seeing this match up.
(-) Lashley Vs Big Show
Steer down to begin the match. This match was real slow, and also really boring. Show takes early advantage, owns Lashley for awhile. Heyman is screaming from the outside. The evil heel GM is boring to me at this point, but hey whatever. Big Show headbutts Lashley. Big Show to the bottom rope what is this? Lashley suplexes Show from the top rope. Pretty impressive. Lashley then goes onto spear Big Show. Out comes Heyman's hired goons, and Test. They all beat down Lashley to end the night.
(/) Overall thoughts:
They really failed on creating any hype for this PPV. Two matches announced? Are you kidding me thats awful. No Sandman match announced? No Tommy Dreamer match announced? How about a Hardcore Holly match? How about FBI? Hell even Balls Mahoney. What a total mess. To drop the ball this bad insane.
Overall Rating: :five:
