WWE Breaking Point - September 13th, 2009

They've been using the "no one gets this kind or response" card for years, man? They want them to say "No one gets the cheers" but they can't because there's that vocal "**** You Cena" chant.

It actually used to be true, too. Love him or hate him, there was a time when EVERYone in the crowd responded to Cena and his matches (Oftentime 75% negatively, but who's counting?). There have been times that Cena matches are worth watching just for the crowd (Its the ONLY reason to watch Cena-Trips I). These days its rather hollow, which has never stopped them before especially Cole. He doesn't generate near the sheer passion he used to,

I guess you could say that its "VINTAGE COLE!" *thumbs up*

Oh, well he said what I said already as Cena was entering the match. Perhaps I look too deeply into things, but I know it isn't the first time they've tried to replace The Rock with Cena.

Cena is getting massacred right now by Orton..he has welts all over him from the stick beating Orton gave him. AND HE'S BREAKING FREE! HA, I knew it.

BTW, How the hell did My Man Zeke outlast The Brian Kendrick?The_Dude14

By the way, why do you keep reffering to Zeke as "my man"? Some sort of reference that I am missing?

Age of Orton is finally over. Thank God.

They've also tried to make him Austin a bunch of times. A really lame, corporate Stone Cold... which, of course, make me wonder how much they actually understood Austin's appeal?

No love for the "vintage"?

If its good enough for THE Brian Kendrick, its good enough for me.

Striker, on the other hand, awesome as he is, is one step away from being a glorified robot.

WWE Championship - I Quit Match
Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena

Stipulation: If anyone interferes for Orton, he loses the title.

Winner: John Cena via submission to become the NEW WWE Champion

J.R. is the only truly great commentator right now.

Lawler is a terrible heel, Striker is a bit annoying, Todd Grisham sounds like he's trying to force out emotion, Justin Roberts is annoying, and Michael Cole is Michael Cole.

Otherwise, IMHO, JR-Striker would be a dream team, because you would have best of both worlds.

... Not that it is going to happen.

So the champ has returned, at the Viper's expense. Sounded like a good match, hope to see the highlights soon. Now, time for Punk to retain.

For all the **** Cole receives for his commentary (rightfully so, I might add), the guy at least has emotion, even if it is annoying fake emotion.

Striker, on the other hand, awesome as he is, is one step away from being a glorified robot.

I think that's one of the things I like about Striker, honestly. Let the play-by-play guy hit the emotional aspect, while Striker chimes in with his cool, calculated, often fairly heelish analysis. I certainly prefer it to a Don West-gasm, King's chuckle and lechery or Tazz's King impersonation... or whatever the hell it is he does on commentary these days.

... I really don't have any complains about Smackdown's announce team. Grish has grown on me (I'm trying to figure out when he got better than Cole or did Cole just get worse than him? There was a time (02-03) where I really enjoyed Cole's commentary... maybe that was just the matches he was calling) and I rather like JR as the color guy.

EDIT: And I've had a man crush on Josh Matthews ever since he busted out a (well deserved) Holy **** for London-Akio.

Ah, Velocity. The memories.

Oops, not Justin Roberts. I mean Josh Matthews.

And yes, I like Striker, but sometimes he just sounds like an 8 year old at his first pro wrestling show, which could be good or bad.

An awesome robot that references Street Fighter.

... Not that kind of thing happens on ECW often, because it does not, however, the point is...I am not sure what exactly the point is...but I think these things are worth pointing out...

They pulled a ****ing screwjob. :shock:

They pulled a ****ing screwjob. :shock:Razor-Lazor

The thing is, I would argue Josh cannot even sell emotion worth a damn either, and IMHO, it really hurt Christian's big return several months back.

I get what you're saying with ECW. How much is there to really get emotional about on ECW? I do wish they would get an opportunity to do more than one match per PPV.

Ah well, maybe Striker will get the Rumble. I could love a JR, Cole and Striker Rumble. Or even a JR, King and Striker Rumble.

If its Cole and King, I will shoot something. Why does that team exist?

PPV sucked. Screwjob ending=lame. Cena winning=meh. Now Punk is just another coward heel.

Teddy didn't screw Taker. Taker screwed Taker. Chicago_Nut

:lol: Hardest I've laughed all night.

WooHoo punk retains, I loved the Teddy heel turn.trick_man01

... no, we really shouldn't. That just doesn't sound right.

What a way to end the show! From what I read on the WWE.com chat, someone said Undertaker slap his arm to the side of his side or something and the ref declare it as a tapout.KevyR

Well, my "predictions" are floating somewhere in the ****tter, but I am relieved to see Punk is still the champion.

You might not be as relieved when you see what has potentially happened to his character this upcoming week.

World Heavyweight Championship - Submission Match
The Undertaker vs. CM Punk (c)

Winner: CM Punk via submission to retain the World Heavyweight Championship

well that ending sounds like complete and total fail

oh well i guess he can still claim he never submitted if thats the case still a rather fail ending.

cant we just have clean finishes anymore?

I found this sorta of amusing:

Punk celebrates at the top of the ramp while Long, dressed in all white to contract Taker's all black, stands stone-faced. Taker totally needs to write T N A in the air.Chris Lansdell of 411

I wanted Punk to win, but this was a really garbage ending for the type of heel he is supposed to be. He acted like a pansy for most of tonight, and his character was potentially ruined overnight by the writers.-CoMBaT-

Ultimately, this doesn't ruin Punk. Its where they go from here that will tell the tale (and honestly, Punk should be able to rebuild himself. Seems like he's won the E over, so he could pull an Orton and not end up on the scrap heap, or maybe an Edge and come out look okay). The story of this match is going to be the 165,758,624,127th Screwjob retread since 97, not CM Punk and his performance.

And hopefully, this will be the bottom part of the feud, not the highlight.

Did I, like, pull an "0 for" on my predictions? Did I get anything right?

Otherwise, in regards to predictions, it was a bad night for the both of us.

Edit: Oh, and you correctly predicted the Kofi win as well.
