So, Hell in a Cell PPV.

Taker v Punk was the worst HiAC I've ever seen. Hardly any weapons, about two uses of the cell - it might as well have been an ordinary cage match!

Orton v Cena was better, disappointed with the result.

DX V Legacy was a good match, easily the best HiAC match of the night. Still, that must be a first: not one, not two, but three HiAC matches and no blood whatsoever!! All the other HiAC matches I've seen have resembled horror film sets afterwards.

Glad DX won - can't stand Legacy, especially Rhodes. Also, I reckon Legacy will spontaneously combust before too long - Orton's going to get tired of his partners' comments - they'll turn on him before too long. I reckon around about Royal Rumble time.

Nice result for Kofi as well, good match that one. Pleased he won - the other two are just a couple of loudmouthed morons and Kofi's more skilful and entertaining to watch as well. Batista/Rey v Show/Jericho was good as well.

What's happened to 'Unforgiven'? That never failed to turn up a really good PPV!

This is what really turned me off WWE. I could take that a lot of the stuff was scripted but I had full respect for someone that could take a steel chair and trash can to the head. Now they have taken all this stuff away to be more 'PG'

Old school ECW really was the place to go to, but now getting out a steel chair in the WWE is like seeing a women fully nude.

HBK should just retire now. He cant even walk straight.

WWE, to me, has become a shell of its former self after they turned on their "PG" rating and opened up WWEkids.com and covered up all the divas with clothes, told heel Jericho to not call the people "Ass Clowns" like he did before when he was a heel, shoved CENA down people's throats, turned DX into a joke (search for old videoclips of old original ATTITUDE ERA D-X on youtube and you'll see what it was REALLY all about), and the "PG" rating automatically requires them to show no blood on tv so that's another big downer to add to the list.

I was a hardcore WWE and Y2J fan before they went PG, I catch an episode every month now just to keep in touch with things but its all kiddy **** now.

I only watch to see guest host drama with santino and horny.

Do you know if 'Bragging Rights' will be free on Sky? Usually, the next PPV after a box office one is free, but who knows. You cannot go wrong with a 60min Iron Man match, especially if it's a No DQ. The last one I saw between Benoit and Triple H was an epic!

I know, it's nowhere near as good as it was, in the era of Hulk (and the guy going around with the Iraqi flag - can't remember his name. He always used to battle with Hulk.) Stone Cold, The Rock, the Real Y2J, before he became a total assclown!

but will there be blood or will it be a usual bore fest?

Now you guys mention it, blood seems to have totally disappeared from WWE over the last few years. When was the last match you saw with blood in it?

 

[Ollie_H]

I stopped watching a while ago because of stuff like this, where there was just no excitement. I mean seeing a table and chair come out now is like an xxx rated porn movie.

The WWE have had their eye on the PG-13 rating for their shows over the past year or so, thus weapons/blood seem to be a rarity to gear up/happen during a PPV event. It sucks I know.

In other news. I've just started to watch TNA after like a year or something ... and I never realised Tazz now commentates for them and I never knew that Bobby Lashely had signed with them. I've missed out on a lot haven't I?
