great

i liked it due to the fact that the fans got to pick the matches June 26, 2007

Big Miss

Umaga vs. Kane
Another pretty solid offering from these two. This was the first sort of inkling of the kind of energy Umaga could bring to a match and sort of the end of the total-Kane suck-a-tude we've seen from him over the past few years. Decent action with some very fun brawling. Nice match to kick off the night. **1/2

Tornado Tag Match
Cryme Tyme vs. Lance Cade/Trevor Murdoch vs. Viscera/Charlie Hass vs. The Highlanders:
Wow, this was a huge waste of time. Absolutely nothing going on, plenty of blown spots to go around for everyone to boot. Thankfully this was short and rather painless. 1/2*

Intercontinental Championship
Carlito vs. Jeff Hardy-- Tons of the 'you do a move, I do a move' stuff that is absolutely slaughtering the Raw mid card these days. This was absolutely awful. There were some fun flips to keep the crowd from passing out forever, but other than that, this was absolutely 'just there'. *

DX vs. Edge and Randy Orton
Special guest referee - Eric Bischoff
This was decent enough. Compared to what the rest of this feud had in store, this was great. Edge and Orton get their only win of the series, but the level of cheating was a little much. Sure, heels cheat to win but the way this was booked, it made it look like Rated RKO would have never had a shot at winning had they not had all the help they did. Unfortunately, that perception would be more than re-inforced over the course of the feud. **3/4

Women's Championship Tournament Finals
Diva Lumberjack Match
Mickie James vs. Lita:
Had this been given about five more minutes, i'd have possibly had it a little higher. Lumberjack matches are usually pretty shoddy these days, but these two at least made the most of it. Decent back and forth action as can be expected from these two. **1/4

World Tag Team Championships
The Spirit Squad [Champions] vs. Ric Flair and Roddy Piper:
I'm sorry this was terrible. I love Flair and I beyond love Piper, but this was just a title change that shouldn't have ever happened. Piper looked absolutely terrible and there couldn't possibly be a way to make a bunch of young wrestlers look as bad as they did. Had the tag belts meant anything these days, this might have had some more emotion behind it. *1/4

Champion of Champions Match
World Heavyweight Championship on the line
The Big Show [ECW] vs. Booker T [Smackdown] vs. John Cena [Raw]:
I TRIED like crazy to get into this match but it never once pulled me in. The storyline leading up to this was bad, the dynamic in the match was odd, and the crowd seemed to care less about the fact that it was going on. Big Show seemed to be the resident stud here. His interactions and back and forth with both Cena and Booker worked surprisingly well enough although the same can't be said for Cena and Booker on their own. The ending didn't bother me all that much, as the whole K-Fed thing was the Andy Kauffman thing reincarnate. Decent enough stuff, but just exceedingly flat. **1/2

Overall: Absolutely awful show. I felt like it had a lot of potential to be quite good but with the ridiculousness of the DX-Rated RKO match and most of the other stuff being paint by the numbers (you can't plan out a match when you're deciding who you're facing a minute in advance... and no , WWE do not rig the votes.). This is about as good as you can expect WWE to be with this kind of format. Hopefully though, this show will be on it's last legs. March 17, 2007

Not The Best RAW Has To Offer

Cyber Sunday was the third annual event where they had the fans vote on stipulations for matches throughout the night...however just like last year; WWE influenced the fans to vote how they wanted for the most part.

Kane vs. Umaga - The fans voted in Kane so he could get revenge on Umaga for kicking him off RAW. Kane has been the first person to give Umaga some real competition & their previous two matches have been the best on both men's careers for the better past of the past year. This was no exception and a good "big man vs. big man" bout.

Texas Tornado Match: Cryme Tyme vs. Highlanders vs. Cade & Murdock vs. Hass & Viscera - This was just a short brawl and seeing how Cryme Tyme was the only team in this match not to be buried by DX...you just knew who was winning this one.

Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy vs. Carlito - Well, the match itself was decent but you would expect more from these two as the crowd started to chant boring because of Carlito's bear hugs. It picked up at the end but again, it was slow at parts.

DX vs. Rated RKO with Eric Bischoff was the special referee - Besides Coach, you didn't really know who if Vince or Bischoff were going to be the referee until DX did a skit earlier in the night implying that they wanted Bischoff as the referee. The match was actually DX's 2nd best match since reuniting (Hell In The Cell was the first) as they didn't just beat up & dominate their opponents & Rated RKO left with some credibility unlike every other team DX faced. Bischoff didn't play a factor until the end but again, a good solid match.

WWE Womens Championship tournament finals/Diva Lumberjack match: Mickey James vs. Lita - Well, the match itself as good but this was just a way to get all the divas out on the show which took away from the match itself.

World Tag Team Champions Spirit Squad vs. Ric Flair & Roddy Piper - This match was short & sweet as it was meant to be the "feel good" moment of the night as the two legends won the tag team titles.

WWE Champion John Cena vs. World Champion King Booker vs. ECW Champion Big Show - Throughout the night, there were skits where Booker tried to cut deals with both Show & Cena (including pimpin' out Sharmell for a night) which had heavy influence in the fans voting for Booker's title to be on the line. The match itself again was good as most triple threat matches are. The ending had K-Fed appeared & cost Cena the match setting up their New Years Day match on RAW.

DVD extras include the Piper/Flair vs. Rated RKO match the next night on RAW where DX got their revenge on Eric Bischoff, the WWE legends celebrating with the divas, an interview with Umaga & Estrada, and a promo for the Cena/Federline match.

Again, this PPV was passable as I've seen worse (ala ECW's the next month) but in the end, I would get this as a rental & from there, make your own opinion.

!!Great Main Event!!

Good PPV, great Main Event. Although, I dont know why the WWE has a clown like Kevin Federline in the Ring, they Dont need him, the show is great without him, rather see Britney get F--k by Cena, or chokeslamed by the Big Show, buy its just my opinion. January 5, 2007
