411's WWE Bragging Rights Report 10.25.09
Posted by Chris Lansdell on 10.25.2009
John Cena wins an Iron Man WAR with Randy Orton! Elsewhere Undertaker retains, Smackdown wins the 14-man tag and thus Bragging Rights, and more! Come on in, see how it went down!
Hey yo. Welcome to 411mania's Bragging Rights Report. I'm Chris Lansdell and...
Let's dive right in, shall we?
Oh good grief there's a trophy. A Bragging Rights trophy.
Best choice to open IMO. After Miz's entrance we get the video package for the feud. We get a shot of the teams in the back watching this match. DX are the only guys not wearing the colours of their show.
Who woulda thunk that two Tough Enough alums would open a PPV in 2009? They work some exchanges with Morrison getting control. He reverses a hip toss into a fireman's carry takedown, then knocks Miz down with a pair of shoulder blocks. They point out that this is the first meeting between the two since the Draft. Miz bails to the floor, then comes back in and gets a kick to the gut and a headlock takedown. Miz gets a shoulder block but then eats a flapjack and a standing shooting star from Morrison! That gets 2. Miz gets control right back and stomps down Morrison in the corner, then throws him to the floor, and poses. Morrison slides between Miz's legs to come back in and gets a sunset flip for 2. They exchange rollups, they work some more counters which ends with Morrison getting a clothesline on Miz to send him up and over to the floor. Morrison over the top onto Miz! Back inside and Morrison gets a 2 count. Whip is reversed, Miz charges and Morrison avoids it to get a headscis...NO! Miz catches him and LAUNCHES him to the floor! Ouch. Back inside and Miz hits a back suplex for 2. Modified surfboard applied by Miz. Morrison is able to break the hold but Miz gets a whip and the corner clothesline. Miz goes to the floor and hits a knee lift to the head of Morrison, which is hanging over the apron. 1...2...no. Chinlock applied by Miz. Morrison fights out of the hold and gets a pait of quick rollups for 2. They exchange kicks and punches and forearms in the middle of the ring, Morrison ducks under one from Miz and sweeps the leg! Flying back elbow by Morrison gets 2. He misses the semi-Shinign Wizard and Miz gets a quick schoolboy for 2, but Morrison comes back with a flurry of mounted punches. Morrison ducks a Miz clothesline...FLYING CHUCK! 1...2...2.880! Morrison sets Miz up for Starship Pain but Miz don't want none and goes to the floor. CORKSCREW PLANCHA by Morrison to the floor! Back inside, Morrison! 1...2...no! Morrison sets Miz on the top, tries a superplex but Miz fights him off and hits a double axe handle from the top. He tries the Skull-Crushing Finale but Morrison fights out and hits a Russian leg sweep! STARSHIP NO!!! Miz counters and crotches Miz! 1...2...3!
Winner: The Miz via pinfall (Starship Pain counter). Raw up 1-0.
Cody Rhodes is backstage getting his chest waxed or something. He says Raw should sweep, but R-Truth interrupts to say that ain't how it goin' down dawg. Rhodes buries Truth and SmackDown, calling them second rate. Truth says Cody is on Raw because of his daddy, and had success only because of Randy Orton. The only way he makes a name for himself is by getting pinned tonight. Big Show says that they don't do cheap shots on Raw (HA!), so go tell SmackDown they suck or something.
Raw vs. Smackdown Divas Match: TEAM RAW - Melina, Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim vs. TEAM SMACKDOWN - Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix and Natalya
Michelle McCool is seemingly not content with stealing AJ Styles' finisher, she now has his ring attire too. That said, SmackDown should dominate this match on paper.
Gail starts with Beth, she gets some forearms and tries a crossbody but Beth catches her. Gail wriggles and gets a rollup for two, but Beth quickly regains control and tags Michelle. Gail gets a headscissors on Michelle, so McCool tags Natalya. They exchange rollups, Natalya takes control with a scoop slam but misses an elbow. Gail avoids a charge in the corner and gets a 1 count. Tag to Kelly Kelly who gets the Kevin Nash boot choke, the ducks a clothesline and gets a spinning headscissors. Natalya catches a lucha wheelbarrow attempt and drops Kelly neck-first over the top rope, then drives her to the corner for knees. Kelly avoids a charge and tries a sunset flip but Natalya holds the ropes and tags in Michelle. Now it's Michelle's turn to drive Kelly to the corner and tag in Beth. Snap mare by Beth and a neck vise applied. Kelly fights out but is cut off before she can tag. Beth tags Michelle who gets a snap mare and a sleeper. This sounds more like a Serena Williams vs Maria Sharapova with all the grunting. BIG knee lift by McCool, Beth tags herself inand promptly gets hit with a Frankensteiner for 2! Kelly tags in Melina! She Matrixes under a clotheslineand hits a double knee to the back, followed by a horsecollar bulldog. Michelle distracts Melina allowing Beth to hit a slingshot suplex COUNTERED into a small package! BEAUTIFUL move! The ref is distracted again allowing Michelle to reverse the cover! 1...2...no! Melina counters a backbreaker into a facebuster! Another great counter, this is awesome. Beth whips Melina, they work some counters which end with Beth hitting the Implant Buster! 1...2...3!
Winners: Team SmackDown via pinfall (Beth on Melina, Glam Slam). Tied 1-1.
DX tries to encourage Team Raw, but Swagger figures they don't need a pep talk because he's on the team. HBK says he has no respect, and respect is going to carry this team. HHH says they shouldn't be able to get along. They've all been making fun of Mark Henry since he almost had a baby with Mae Young. He goes on to talk about all the fun they've made of people. HBK says he would like to replace Swagger with the first person he sees. Enter Hornswaggle. Maybe not then. HHH says it's about honour and pride, blah blah blah.
Tonight's Undertaker Entrance Timer is brought to you by Peter Rooter. Do you suffer from the steady "drip, drip, drip" of gonorrhea? Then Peter Rooter is for you! From gong to ring intros, tonight's entrance clocks in at 3 minutes, 2 seconds. Rey Mysterio has his beard braided, but because he's no Mike Knox it looks ridiculous. Taker is over HUGE in Pittsburgh.
Punk charges Rey on the bell then bails to the floor. Taker levels Batista then Punk attacks Taker with a flurry of kicks in the corner. Punk makes the mistake of stepping off for a second so Taker chucks him over the top. LA SILLA PRESS by Rey to the floor! Batista and Taker go at it and Taker nails the flying clothesline! Rey attacks the legs of Taker and i firing on all cylin...oh. Boot by Taker. Batista and Taker go at it again, OLD SCHOOL by Taker. He goes for it on Rey but Punk cuts him off and crotches him, then sends Rey to the floor. Punk goes up after Taker and hits a superplex!! REY with a splash on Taker! Hje gets 1 before Punk throws him off, then Batista interjects. Clothesline in the corner on Punk and a powerslam, Batista shakes the rope and turns around into a Taker boot! REY off the top! Taker catches him and sets for the Last Ride!! SPEAR by Batista!!! Rey and Batista stare each other down deciding who to pin. GOOZLE to Rey by Taker! Batista breaks it and they double team Taker! 619! Spinebuster by Batista! 1...2...PUNK breaks it up with a dropkick to the head of Batista! Rey gets caught on the top by Punk and he turns it into Go To Sleep! 1...2...BATISTA breaks it! Batista turns to Taker, HELL'S GATE! Again Punk breaks it up. Punk mounts Taker with some rights, then stomps on Batista. Running high knee to Taker! Taker holds on, LAST RIDE! 1...2...BATISTA breaks it! Rey us still selling the GTS. Batista and Taker slug it out, it's like to guys duelling with exocets. GOOZLE! Taker gets the chokeslam! 1...2...Punk! He's breaking up everything tonight. He lays into Taker but gets goozled! Punk breaks it with a kick but Taker sidesteps and throws Punk to the floor. He goozles Batista but the Animal breaks it and hits the Batista Bomb! 1...2...REY breaks it up! 1...2...Batista breaks it up! They argue and Batista shoves Rey to the floor! CHOKESLAM by Taker to Batista! 1...2...2.837! Another goozle by Taker, Batista fights it off and they collide with a double clothesline! Punk slithers in and covers Batista! 1...2...no! He tries Taker, same result. Rey comes off the top into Batista, who catches him and throws him on to Punk! TOMBSTONE! 1...2...3!
Winner: Undertaker via pinfall (on Batista, Tombstone)
Josh Matthews is in the ring with Rey and Batista, where he will doubtless see Batista destroy Rey. Rey thinks they did their best, but he goes over to Batista and says "Good try." It didn't work out for them. Josh asks at what point did the match slip away for them? Rey totally dances around the question. He asks Batista how he's feeling. Dave asks Rey if he thinks they were close. Then he asks the fans the same thing. He says he doesn't think THEY were close, he thinks HE was close. He thinks he's tired of coming this close. He also thinks he's tired of his best friend stabbing him in the back. You think he's playing?
I don't think so. Homey don't play that.
He tells Rey he's going to rip his head off. Then he drops the mic and does just that. Batista beats Rey down and Rey literally begs him to take it easy and says Batista is hurting him. Batista doesn't care and HURLS Rey into the railing. He starts to leave but turns back and hits a running kick to the head, shades of Orton!
Seven vs. Seven Match: TEAM RAW - DX (Co-Captains), The Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston and Mark Henry vs. TEAM SMACKDOWN Chris Jericho (Captain), Kane, Matt Hardy, Finlay, R-Truth, David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd
We get some interesting stats about the 14-man, like the fact that Raw has 59 combined championships to SmackDown's 58. Then we see an interview with the fans. Totally staged.
DX are out first, and HBK has deigned to wear the Raw shirt around his waist. HHH is too cool for school. Oh sweet, nopt only are DX above wearing the Raw shirts, they also get their own entrance while the others come out to the Raw theme. I just noticed that the Raw guys and SD guys are comig out on opposite sides of the entrance ramp. Jericho and Kane each get individual entrances, but they at least have the shirts on. There's over 3700 pounds of beef in the ring right now. This is the same ring that collapsed uinder a superplex to Big Show from Brock Lesnar.
Cody is going to start with R-Truth. Slugfest off the bat, Truth does his stuff and hits a dropkick for 1. He charges into Cody's elbow, Cody gets a single-leg rolling takedown but Truth escapes. Cody hits the ropes and Show tags himself in. Truth ain't dumb so he tags in Kane. MAY 19TH! Kane hits some rights, avoids a Big Show charge and tries a clothesline but eats Show's shoulder. LEG DROP by Show gets 2. Tag to Swagger now, Kane blocks a clothesline and hits an uppercut. Tag by Kane to MATT HARDY. Hardy hits a clothesline for 2. Side Effect countered with some Swagger elbows, Hardy goes nuts with forerarms and catches a charging Swagger with a boot. Leg drop off the second by Hardy gets 2. To the floor and Hardy gets a clothesline on Swagger, Cody comes over to distract Hardy and Swagger uses that to take him to the post. Everyone comes over and we have a stare down. Back inside, Swagger gets a 2 count off a armbar takedown. Tag to Henry and we're going to re-enact the ECW title feud. Headbutt by Henry, he misses the elbow drop but is able to cut off the tag and launch Hardy to the Raw corner. Tag to HBK! They mention that HBK was on the first Raw buyt decline to namedrop Max Moon. HBK drops his head and gets kicked, Hardy tries a Side Effect...connects! Tag to Finlay who comes in blazing. Whip to HBK, he does the HBK corner bump before eating some European forearms. HBK and Finlay collide off a whip. Both men are up, SWEET CHIN MUSIC! Wait, the Hart Dynasty are in! SPRINGBOARD HART ATTACK! Smith gets the cover! 1...2...no! Jericho tags in now and he stalks HBK. He locks in a modified sleeper, HBK breaks the hold and gets a schoolboy for 2 before getting levelled by a clothesline. 2 count for Jericho. Kane tags in and hits a basement dropkick for 2. Tag to DH Smith who clamps on a chinlock. HBK fights back so Smith hits a spinning backdrop driver for 2. Scoop slam by Smith, Kidd springboards in with an elbow but misses! Tag to HHH and it's BURIAL TIME! Smith got the tag and eats a HHH knee. Clothesline! Finlay in and gets a spinebuster on top of Smith! Kidd completes the Irish sandwich as he gets spinebustered! KANE with a chokeslam! THAT'S FOR KATIE VICK, BITCH! Kidd gets the cover! 1...2...NO! Tag to Jericho, BULLDOG! Lionsault misses! Tag to Kofi! Springboard clothesline! More clotheslines! Dropkick! Boom Drop time...COUNTERED! Walls! Kofi gets the package! 1...2...no! TROUBLE IN PARADISE! 1...2...Smith breaks it up! Here comes everyone. Henry levels Smith, gets knocked to the floor, catches a crossbody from Kidd then goes down when Hardy adds his weight. Finlay hits the Finlay Roll on Rhodes! Doctor Bomb to Finlay! Boot to Swagger by Kane! Spear to Kane by Show! Kofi is up top and Show is going to launch...goozle!!! CHOKESLAM BY SHOW ON KOFI! He levels HHH with the KO Punch and walks off! Jericho covers Kofi Kingston! 1...2...3!
Winners: Team SmackDown via pinfall (Jericho on Kofi, Big Show chokeslam)
We get shots of the Army National Guard in the audience. You might not agree with the reason they are in Iraq or Afghanistan or anywhere, but God bless them and all people serving their countries. Except the bad guys.
Video package for THE rivalry.
To this guy:
some 40 year old supposedly ex-wrestler making old he-man references...is it awesome or sad? you be the judge!
then again, I'm on the internet making snarky comments about such things so "kettle, you are one righteous mofo" said the pot
Posted By: the dude (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 08:17 PM
I'm 30.
Kofi walks backstage, Cody gets in his face for getting pinned and the flattens him.
We're doing 30-second intervals after each pin. The champ is out first, and tonight's Randy Orton Entrance Clock is brought to you by the AK-47. When you absolutely positively have to kill every muthafucka in the room? Accept no substitutes. From "I hear voices" to the end of his music, 3 minutes 11 seconds. Orton WINS!
Cole says this is their benchmark match, and not many superstars get to compete in one. For most of the roster, I say thank God. Headlock takedown by Cena. Orton backs Cena to the corner and hits a couple of rights, then gets a headlock takedown of his own. Cena backs Orton to the ropes, leaps him a couple of times then hits a hip toss. Whip to Orton, Cena charges and misses. Cena reverses a whip and tries a bulldog but Orton blocks and sends Cena flying. Stomps by Orton now, and some measured rights. Typical Orton offense right now. Out of nowhere Cena locks in the STF and Orton taps as soon as Cena clasps his hands! Smart, avoids getting damaged.
Fall 1: John Cena via submission (STF). 1-0 Cena.
After the 30-second rest Cena charges hard and fast but Orton counters and hits a kneedrop. Stomps by Orton sends Cena to the apron, Orton suplexes him back in and gets 2. Chinlock applied by Orton, Cena fights out and hits the Throwback! Top rop rocker dropper! You can't see RKO!!! 1...2...3!
Fall 2: Randy Orton via pinfall (RKO)
Orton knocks Cena off the apron then takes the fight to the floor. He rearranges some furniture than NAILS Cena with a monitor! 1...2...no! Orton has a mic now and starts to say something, then thinks better of it and NAILS a mic shot. 1...2...no!! Cena is bleeding and the ref wants him checked? They've stopped the clock anyway. Cena shrugs off the doctor and charges Orton! He pummels him in the corner then throws him over the top! He takes Orton to the steps but Orton reverses a whip and sends Cena HARD into the steps! 1...2...no! I'm trying to remember the last time I saw Cena bleed. Orton rolls Cena back in and measures a punch to the open wound on Cena's skull. Orton measures for the RKO but Cena is having none of it! Shoulder block! Blue Thunder Bomb!!! You can't see him! Attitude Adjustment...RKO!!! BOTH MEN CONNECT! That was frigging AWESOME. Both men drape an arm over the other! 1...2...3?
Falls 3 and 4: Both men via pinfall (Attitude Adjustment/RKO). Tied 2-2.
The doctor is taking the chance to look at Cena's injury, but he still doesn't want it. He lets them do it anyway, looks like they sealed him up good. 30 seconds are up and Orton charges and misses.Cena puts Orton up top and goes up with him...SUPER ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! Wow. 1...2...3!
Fall 5: John Cena via pinfall (Super Attitude Adjustment) Cena up 3-2.
LEGACY! They beat down Cena past the 30-second mark. DREAM STREET connects! Orton gets the cover! 1...2...3!
Fall 6: Randy Orton via pinfall (Dream Street). Tied 3-3.
KOFI is out to chase off Legacy, and he has a chair! That works nicely. Backl in the ring, Cena takes down Orton and pounds him, but Orton slithers too the floor. Cena follows and beats him up the ramp. Orton regains control and gets a 2-count on the floor by the tech area. Orton starts ramming Cena's head into assorted objects, thankfully not iuncluding Big Show's ass. He slams it into the pyro board and pyro goes off on the stage! Greatness. Orton throws Cena into the lighting grid and sparks fly and sparks go off. 1...2...3!
Fall 7: Randy Orton via pinfall (Cena through a lighting grid). Orton up 4-3.
I hope they don't use that pyro in the finish, maybe with Cena lying on it. OH GOD Orton is playing with the board, that's EXACTLY what they're doing. Orton WAFFLES Cena with a chair a couple of times, drags Cena over a pyro hole...the ref and the pyro guy tell him not to do it! He can't get it to work! Orton mashes buttons like your mom playing Mario, and we have a huge explosion!!! It looks like Cena managed to move. Orton is pissed and lays in some shots, then beats Cena back down the ramp. Halfway down he mounts Cena and pounds on him. Back at ringside and Orton whips Cena into the steps. After almost getting blown up, that's gotta feel like a massage from a Thai woman named Lotus Petal. After she's done you can sac her for one mana of any colour. Orton picks up the steel steps and launches them into Cena's head. That's Motrin pain. 1...2...no? What's next, a stun gun? Orton starts stomping on Cena's ribs. Orton gets himself a chair and hits a line drive single to left field on Cena's back. 2 count off that attack. He rolls Cena back in, SMALL PACKAGE!!! 1...2...3!
Fall 8: John Cena via pinfall (small package). Tied 4-4.
Orton goes nuts after the pin but the ref enforces the 30-second break. What are you gonna do ref, DQ him? Orton retreats nonetheless and waits for the interval to end. He drags Cena's head out under the bottom rope, and he wants to DDT him to the floor. This will not tickle. He lets everyone think about it and the stadium has gone silent. IT CONNECTS! A collective gasp from the crowd as Cena's skull bounces off the thin mat. 1...2...3.
Fall 9: Randy Orton via pinfall (elevated DDT to the floor). Orton up 5-4.
Right after the 30 seconds Orton goes for another cover but Cena kicks out at 2. Orton rolls Cena back in and...stamps on his hand? OK, it's the Garvin Stomp. Knee drop finishes it off, 2 count only. Another 2 count after a right hand. Cena is still trying to get to his feet, only to get knocked down. But he kicks out again! No you're never going to keep him down! 21 minutes left. Orton comes off the rope with a right but Cena gets a burst of adrenaline and ducks it and hits one of his own! Orton smartly bails and Cena's energy burst subsides. Orton realises he's up and Cena has to come after him. Cena comes up the ramp after Orton, who meets him with a boot to the gut and a beatdown. Cena blocks a punch and hits one of his own, sending Orton scurrying back to the ring. He's making Cena expend energy by chasing after him. Cena gets pissed and comes down to the ring, Orton meets him coming in with more right hands. Genius here by Orton. He sets for the elevated DDT again but Cena breaks free and goes for the Attitude Adjustment! Orton elbows out and flees through the fans! Cena follows! This stalling is also allowing Cena to recover of course. The cameras catch up in time to see Cena in control, apparently due to a trash can shot. HOLY FUCK there's a manatee in the crowd. Did I mention I hate crowd brawls? All we're seeing is Orton being dragged through the fans and punched a lot. 15 minutes to go. Cena tosses Orton over the barricade and gets a 2 count. Cena drives Orton's head to the steel steps and gets 2 more. There's a dude with a bWo shirt on. Win. Cena throws Orton into the barricade a couple of times, he tries it again and Orton goes THROUGH the barricade! Cena is setting up furntiture, but apparently he wuld rather crown Orton with the steps! Instead of going for the cover, he sets up the steps by the announce table, picks Orton up from the floor to his shoulders and climbs the steps! Attitude Adjustment through the table! 1...2...3!
Fall 10: John Cena via pinfall (Attitude Adjustment through the announce table). Tied 5-5, 8:30 to go.
Cena goes for the pin right away! 1...2...2.9006! Cena is looking for plundah...
Cena! GET THE TABLE! He sets it up on the inside as Orton writhes in agony on the flotsam of the announce table. Cena dispatches Warrok and Ajax to bring back his body...well, not really. He gets Orton himself, carries him back to the ring, and puts him on the table. Cena from the top....LEGDROP GETS NOTHING BUT TABLE! Orton looks like Cook after a bourbon bender. Orton and Cena are on their knees slugging it out. They get to their feet still exchanging shots, 3 minutes left. Cena wins the exchange, ducks under an Orton shot and hits the shoulder block! Cena ducks under another shoulder and Cena wipes out the ref! RKO!!! The ref is out, here comes Little Naitch! 1...2...NO! Orton takes out Robinson, and I believe it may be third and long. Orton looks like he's hearing voices in his head. They counselled him, and now he understands. Here's the snap...Cena moves! STF! 45 seconds left and Orton is fighting! He's crawling, twisting! 30 seconds! Orton is trying anything to alleviate the pressure! HE TAPS AT 5 SECONDS!!!
Fall 11: John Cena via submission (STF) Cena up 6-5. And that'll do it!

Hate to say it... but you do know what survivor series main event will be. Team Orton vs team Cena.
Posted By: JBL (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 10:54 PM
Awesome show.
Main event proved all of the IWC wrong, as usual. Four way was good, and the added bonus of Batista turning was nicely done at the end.
Big Show helping out himself and his partner, Jericho, made a lot more sense than him helping his 'show' out, plus earlier in the night he said 'actions speaks louder than words' which tipped it off.
I dug the conceptl, as a whole. It does make me wonder what is next. Cena and Orton are done, ala the agreement with no rematches no matter who won.
Posted By: WATRYYY (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 10:54 PM
Cena sucks
Posted By: The underliner (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 10:54 PM
Great main event. Enough brawling and enough inring action with Cena being set up for the comeback win, which is a good thing, not a bad thing like the 'smarks' will now cry foul with him being 'supercena'.

This show made me fall asleep so easy. YAWN! If this is the best they have, then I don't see anything good happening for a very long time. This show was a waste of money.
Posted By: Truff (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 10:56 PM
good show from wwe. batista was so casual doing his turn that it just worked so well. not sure why or how but the way he did was so great.
Posted By: peter (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Cena vs Orton. I like

and yet again the wwe title, once the most prized championship in wrestling, is devalued yet again. how i miss the days when the title actually meant something!!!

Well, I guess now we know which company put on the best PPV of October.
Yes, WWE.

Posted By: DJM (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 10:58 PM
nice how everything is underlined after the 4 way, showing the important stuff.
I'm sure u lot loved the "roidtista" sign, and him dave-raping Rey... he's gone from IWCs most hated to their saviour in 1 night...
cue people bitching about "Star ratings"
Posted By: BBM (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 10:58 PM
I know they said no more rematches for Cena/Orton but if they wanted to do one more match at Survivor Series, there is only one that could really be the end all be all match. Buried Alive Match.
Posted By: Hmmmm (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 10:59 PM
So the last 2 hours were so epic, that the commentary needed to be underlined?
Posted By: Guest#0167 (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 10:59 PM
"Hate to say it... but you do know what survivor series main event will be. Team Orton vs team Cena."
typical iwc. just stfu about the same canned ppv's and admit that the main event was a damn good one.
Posted By: Guest#3398 (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Love how all IWC is still blindly buying into the fact Cena can't perform, when I would wager about 70%-80% of the people commenting here didn't see actually see the main event.
Great match that was never dull, and the outcome was always in doubt, until the final seconds. Good well done.
Posted By: Cool (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:01 PM
With a strong angle on RAW with Ted and Orton, I thought Ted would come down at the end and tease costing Orton the belt, only to help him win it, ala Batista and HHH, when Batista knew he was going to turn on him, but wasn't sure when was the best time/

ted jr. is going win the wwe title with orton's help. then he'll expect ted jr to lay down or hand over the title like in 04 and hhh.
Posted By: rey (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:04 PM
Nice job Taker! Sure it was a four way, but he more than held his own.
The show flowed very nicely to me, and ti delivered big time!
Posted By: Bravo (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:04 PM
When reading people's PPV picks throughout the past week (day), I am stunned how many did not put into account the score had to be tied 1 to 1 leading to the 7on7 match. Don't understand some people trying to pick PPV winners.....
Posted By: Helllo? (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:05 PM
had some really good moments in the Iron-Man match......but it was just way too much down-time in the match. I know, it's a hour-long and down-time is expected, but in between the really good moments was a GANG of stalling for time.
Posted By: cj (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Outside of Batista turning heel (long overdue by the way), this show was ass.

good, no one wants to read about your negative comments. go watch your beer drinker's show.
Posted By: Guest#4482 (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:07 PM
Very solid PPV. To compare it to Bound For Glory, well, you just cannot. BFG was absolute garbage with even worse camera work, Bragging Rights was extremely well done.
They could work an angle where Orton didn't get his 30 seconds of recovery after the final submission, and therefore still had anothe 5 seconds to tie the score.

Main event was pretty good. I would have liked to see some more "strategy" and a slightly faster pace between huge spots, but it was otherwise a good Cena-style match.
I liked the setup for the double pin.
I think Orton might have invented a new gimmick match: Blow Up Your Opponent With Pyro.
I was kind of looking forward to Cena leaving Raw. I wanted him to join ECW, so they could expand the show and make it a full brand. And if you think about it, his best matches are no-DQ semi-hardcore matches. It would bring the Extreme facet back to ECW.

The main event was okay but they really should have played it like Angle vs. HBK on RAW and only gone 30 minutes. There was too my staling with the pyro, Orton running away and the crowd brawl. The rest was good but there just wasn't enough meat to justify the full hour.
Posted By: Ron Mexico (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:17 PM
I thought the main event sucked balls because AGAIN Orton was made to look like an absolute tool.
He had Cena beat so badly all logic had it him pinning him 20 times in a row.. but instead we get Orton trying to pose all menacing and viper like for the camera while wondering why he can't get the job done?
Main Event was so dull apart from Randy playing with Pyro and the last 2 mins where SUPERCENA surprise surprise makes the almighty comeback without selling the beating he got throughout the match.
The PPV pre Iron match was actually really fun and I'm really glad WWE are getting behind the Miz he is truly becoming a star (in my eyes).
Highlight of the night: Jericho lifting the trophy was glorious as if he just won the World Cup or something.

Posted By: WMD (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:22 PM
Love how all IWC is still blindly buying into the fact Cena can't perform, when I would wager about 70%-80% of the people commenting here didn't see actually see the main event.
Great match that was never dull, and the outcome was always in doubt, until the final seconds. Good well done.
Posted By: Cool (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:01 PM
That's unfair. When you color the entire IWC in one light then you're just as bad as the people you're trying to insult.
I saw the main event. I liked it. But I hardly loved it. I absolutely disagree with your statement that it was never dull. It was definitely dull for good chunks of time in the middle. That being said, it was also hot and very exciting for good chunks of time. The match was good. It just wasn't great.
Why is it so hard for there to be a middle ground? One side says that the other side blinding hates Cena. The other side says that the first side rides Cena's jock too much. What about the middle ground where people try to be objective and realize that it isn't always one extreme or the other?
70%-80% is most likely a ridiculously high estimate. Come off it. You look just as silly as those that say Cena can't wrestle.
I believe someone said it earlier this week in a column. It's not that Cena can't wrestle. It's that far too often he chooses not to wrestle. Cena can get it done when he wants to but he's not an endurance type of wrestler with an extremely varied moveset so this match wasn't in his wheelhouse. But he definitely held his own and made it more compelling than he might have so I'm happy.
Cena/Orton can be very good. It can also be horrible. Tonight it was just... decent. Is that such a horrible opinion?
Posted By: Ron Mexico (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:24 PM
I'm skeptical about Cena as champ yet again. If they don't start dishing out some interesting NEW main events then I'm fucking done with WWE. I can't take the same shit anymore.
Posted By: A-Ron (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:27 PM
The less matches the WWE crams into the PPV's, the better the shows are. This wasn't as good as No Way Out or Summerslam, but it was still a pretty good show. Nothing truly epic, but the Iron Man Match was very, very close. It was an awesome match, although I would've loved for Cena to have gone to Smackdown. HBK vs Taker is my pick for the match of the year so far, followed by Jericho vs Rey from The Bash, and the Iron Man match from tonight in 3rd.
Posted By: Se7en17 (Guest) on October 25, 2009 at 11:28 PM

Great show from top to bottom.
Morrison-Miz was a great way to start the show.
Divas match was shockingly good.
Batista heel turn was epic and long overdue.
7 on 7 was entertaining, could have lasted longer though.
And the biggest surprise of all...Cena v Orton was great! Really wasn't expecting that, what an awesome match, great way to end the rivalry.
2 good PPV's in the past week, I think this was slightly better than BFG, also Turning Point looks good and Survivor Series always delivers, hope both companies keep it up.

I can't afford PPV's right now, and wanted to see this one for the iron man match. Main event sounded likeit was worth getting the show. One problem I have--all the people that, I don't know, are either new fans say in the last 3 years or so, or simply forgot the past, that say that "john cena can't wrestle" I, too am tired of the CHARACTER, sometimes known as "supercena" I don't disagree there. But as is common with WWE, he "only has 3 moves" because WWE restrains him to those 3 moves. They have many well trained wrestlers who are chained into a gimmick or a character. This is not ROH, and it's on purpose, because Vince McMahon does'nt like chain wrestling, and doesn't think the fans do either. Well some of us do. Cena does know more than "3 moves." It is sad to see the character that developed though, running mostly on his charisama to sell tshirts, rather than the "ruthless agression" version who used to give KURT ANGLE a workout. Anyone rembember THOSE matches? I didn't think so. He was killed by the "LAME RAPPER" gimmick shortly after that, and this character evolved over time to, as I said, sell t-shirts. But he CAN wrestle. The fact he doesn't, blame that on Vince Mcmahon, not him.
Posted By: Bruce (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 12:12 AM
I don't know how all of you can say the main event was great. Cena was probably laying motionless on the mat for a good 20 minutes when you added it all up. I didn't know that when one guy is lying down for longer than most matches take it makes a great a match.
Hey, maybe they should have the next main event be between (insert dead wrestler #1) and (insert dead wrestler #2). Even though they would just be bodies lying on the mat, I'm sure everyone would proclaim it to be the greatest match of all time based on the response to this match.
The match wasn't terrible but all of you who are saying it was great must be people who are entertained by snails crawling from point A to point B.

Happiness in my household tonight with a Cena win!
Why? If you want to bankrupt a company let Orton or Punk win the blowoff's. If you want to have a profitable pro-wrestling company for years to come, let the super-face win the blowoff's. It's simple. It's the same reason Hollywood let's all movies end with the "good" guy winning.
Think back to the super-faces from your time: Is it Hogan? Austin? Rock? Hart? Sting?
When it comes down to it, you cant please all the people so please the majority of people.
If you truly feel that pro-wrestling will ignore good business sense for your pathetic excuse of a rebel attitude which you'll outgrow in three to five years then just take a deep breath and wait.

They could work an angle where Orton didn't get his 30 seconds of recovery after the final submission, and therefore still had anothe 5 seconds to tie the score.

I wanted Cena to loose and go to SD I'm no Orton fan but I hoped he'd win so that could happen.
As long as there is no Cena/HHH main event set for SS I'll be fine...I'm huuuuuge DX fan but I'm praying someone other than HHH will be going for the gold.
Posted By: rhy (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 01:28 AM
I enjoyed the show. The women's match wasn't offensive, the opener was good, the main event (14 man tag) was good, even if the ending was predictable. The fatal four-way could have went longer, but the Batista heel turn made it worthwhile. And the Iron Man Match was decent, as there were plenty of lulls.
"Could someone tell me what a goozle is please?"
Goozle is a slang for neck (not a chokeslam, otherwise it wouldn't say "Goozle! Chokeslam!" evertime)
"you made a mistake. its actually TNA. at least their world champion can actually wrestle. "
You, along with many others, confuse not doing flippy shit with not being able to wrestle. If you've ever taken the time to watch an assortment of John Cena matches, you know that he's actually quite talented. But the fact is that he connects with the audience, whether positively or negatively, and thus doesn't need to do much more than punch-punch-kick.
I feel a lot of sorrow for your inability to appreciate different wrestling styles. Must suck to not enjoy watching wrestling.

Awesome PPV. Miz v Morrison was a great start to the night, the 6 Diva tag match was pretty good, fatal 4 way kept a good pace, 14 man tag was good and Ironman was epic.
My ratings:
1. Miz v Morrison (***1/2)
2. SD Divas v RAW Divas (***)
3. Taker v Rey v Punk v Batista (***1/2)
4. Team SD v Team RAW (****)
5. Cena v Orton (*****)
I never would of thought the Ironman match would be anygood but i was definately proven wrong. Only major annoyance was the 30 second intervals and the doctors with the white towel. It's not UFC for fuck sake. We want blood. Batista finally turning on Rey was AWESOME!!

Posted By: CENARULES (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 02:31 AM
Just got home from the event..all except for the Main Event, I had the card predicted. Happy to see Miz get the deserved win, as a loss doesn't hurt Morrison much as he's over already. Miz needed it more. The SD divas did their thing. I was more than happy that Batista finally did his heel turn, and its nice to see Josh Matthews earn an occasional paycheck. Taker retaining was deserved with the Bastista heel gunning for it now. A few days ago I called the Big Show swerve, so score one there..it was actually obvious to me the moment he joined team Raw. Anyway, Jericho clutching the trophy like he had won a Stanley Cup was awesome and humorous all in one. Jericho is the man like that.
Now the Iron Man. Well done WWE. Obviously this is a rigorous test of cardio to go 60 min. I am amused by those that insult this match..lets see any of you do anything pysically exhausting for 60 minutes straight and keep a live crowd entertained while doing it. Cena-Orton put on their best efforts to date, innovative spots, some unique stalls, and the violence was there as well. I knew Cena was staying, but does this mean that DiBiase will get his shot earlier than expected? Lots of questions to be answered.
Again, great PPV effort..really electric live crowd (PA Rules for wrestling fans), and lots of fun.

And here is why HBK/Taker >>>>>> Orton/Cena.
IT WASN'T A FUCKING HOUR!!!
Seriously...that time limit was absolutely crippling to watch. They were almost 8 falls in by the 30 minute mark...I don't think an Iron Man match has even HAD that many falls happen...and they ended up doing 11! FUCKING 11!!! The match had no logic, the story got lost after every fall as if they reset the match, and Orton not only looks like a pussy (OK,I understand the reason for tapping to the STFU for damage control...but Cena didn't even have it fully on yet...PLUS a rope within arms reach), but also a fucking dumbass cartoon character (where's the kaboom? there was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!). And you mean to tell me Kofi successfully held back BOTH members of Legacy the ENTIRE remainder of the match with just a CHAIR?! Bullshit, bullshit, BULLSHIT! Only thing great was the swank RKO counter out of the FU, the FU through the table, and Orton's back raping the guard wall (seeing it EXPLODE like that was pretty cool). I honestly hope not to see another Cena/Orton match...well...ever. I've never enjoyed their matches as I hate Orton's slow-as-piss offense and SuperCena's lack of selling. Plus, what the fuck else can they do? Buried Alive? Ladder? Russian Roulette?
HBK/Taker is miles better because it told a COMPLETE and COHESIVE story that kept you on the edge of your seat...not grabbing for a Red Bull to stay awake. Here's hoping we don't see another iron man match for a long, long time (well...unless we get something amazing like...oooooh...Punk/Danielson? Naaaah, it'll never happen...)

World Heavyweight Title: ***3/4
7-on-7: ***
Iron Man: ****1/2

Soooooo with Cena filming this next movie, "Brother's Keeper" in December, does that mean we're going to see the WWE championship change again next month???
Either that or his part in the movie may let him shoot around the WWE schedule. I guess we'll see
Posted By: Byzdalmyt (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 06:50 AM
I watched that match and it was absolute boring garbage. Cena did his same bullshit five moves of doom about a dozen times, Orton got Super Cena'd, again, and that pyro spot was THE DUMBEST THING SINCE THE GOBBLEDYGOOKER.
If you are a big enough WWE mark that you liked this match you just need to stop watching wrestling forever. Bunch of dumb assholes. I hope you all get ass cancer and die.
Posted By: Guest#9345 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 07:43 AM
Did somebody seriously just say Cena's best match is better than AJ Style's? Jesus Christ. You idiot fucking garbage wrestling loving marks are fucking more delusional than any IWC dweller.
Posted By: Guest#6661 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 07:45 AM
I didn't buy the PPV, but from what I have read on this site and others, it was awesome. Good job to Vince and the crew for stepping up their game. BFG was also a great PPV too. Now can this 2 companies build on that???? Only time will tell. I was definitely surprised that the Smackdown Divas won and that Batista turned, I figure that would be the "screw-job" movement at Survivor Series when Batista leave Rey hanging during a 5 on 5 match.
SS Prediction Matches:
1. Team Cena (Cena/Cryme Tyme/Kofi/DX) vs. Team Orton (Orton/Hart Dynasty/DiBease/Rhodes)
2. Punk vs. Taker--Buried Alive for the Title
3. Miz vs Morrison---Rematch
4. Kim vs. Melina---Title Match
5. Regal vs. Christian---ECW Title Match
6. Team Batista (Batista/McIntyre/Ziggler/Hart Dynatsy) vs Team Mysterio (Mysterio/Hardy/Cryme Tyme/Truth)
7. Team Jericho (Y2J/Swagger/Escabor/Masters/Kane) vs. Team Big Show (Henry/Finley/Hardy/Primo/Chavo)

How did Cena and Orton pull off such a decent Iron Man Match - after the Summerslam overbooked match and the two tedious matches at Breaking Point and HiaC I was expecting to be sent to sleep by their usual crap - did someone give them illegal substances or replace them with really good look a likes?
Posted By: JAK (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 08:47 AM
Orton-Cena was good but i can people overating it.
I was happy Smackdown won the 14 man tag but the match was disapointing.
Batistas heel turn was very well done & needed aswell.
Decent ppv overall.

A small plot hole:
How exactly did Kofi Kingston manage to hold off both Ted AND Cody? Surely they're not stupid enough to stick together after they'd gone backstage. Or to duck round a corner then destroy him before coming back out.
All it needed was "word from the back" that something had kicked off to explain the lack of those two in the rest of the match.
Unless they're going to do a promo where they ditch Orton tonight
Posted By: diz (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 09:51 AM
Lol so you're saying TNA should of booked their World Title in a 4 way and have a 45 year old has been retain the belt? Have two of the most overrated and boring wrestlers of all time compete in a grueling 60 Minute Iron Man Match. Book a team that just formed less than a week, with no logic or build up towards it? Oh of course that's how TNA should book their PPVs huh?. Lol stupid, kids these days. TNA>>>>>>WWE

Opener was a good *** or **3/4 match
The women's match was surprisingly decent **
The 3-way was a really fun match ***1/2 and the aftermath with Batista was well done and interesting.
SmackDown vs Raw match gets *** it was a good solid match.
The main event gets **** I can honestly say Cena and Orton are great storytellers in the ring but their matches is missing something. I can't put my finger on it. Anyway it was great No doubt.

Wish I watched Sunday Night Football istead of this craptasic yawnfest. The main event was lame. They stalled in different forms other than the Randy chin lock. The part where he tried to blow Cena up was lame as all hell and the finish was presdicable. Then giving Taker/Rey/Batista/Punk ten minutes or less was absolute trash. Best part was Batista having roid rage against Rey at the end. Most worthless piece of garbage of the year. Try to avoid this crap at all costs. Stay away from Bragging Rights...far away.

Who wants to bet that the same people that try to downgrade AJ Styles for doing - and I quote - "flippy shit" are the same people that try to convince themselves that Jeff Hardy is a good all around wrestler? They're also the same people that would take a massive dump on Hardy when he was in TNA but since he moved back to their company they decided to sing his praises again.
Be objective, people. AJ is a great wrestler. He doesn't just rely on top rope stuff. You haven't watched many of his matches if you truly believe he's just a spot monkey.
Please check your bias at the door. The number of people who watch a show/know who certain wrestlers are or aren't doesn't change their level of talent. And this coming from a guy who likes the WWE much more than TNA and who routinely rolls his eyes when the writers on this website give high weekly rankings to dudes names after ants.
Cena can wrestle when he chooses to. But AJ is clearly the better all around wrestler and athlete.

Clearly Cena CAN wrestle being that we see him do so on a weekly basis. The argument many of you are trying to make debates wheather or not Cena can wrestle well. This is purely subjective and no member of the IWC has the authority to have the definitive final word on the matter. Your statements should read, "In my opinion, Cena can not wrestle well."
I'm not even a huge Cena fan, but the hyperboles that tend to emanate from the keyboards of bitter, cynical wrestling fans annoy me.

I dont see the problem of having the heel win a blowoff. As long as it makes sense within the context of the story.

Their arrogant because they can afford to be right now. WWE, and wrestling in general, is considered so passe now that it's easy for them to look down on it. Up until the middle part of this decade, they never opened their mouths. But now everything is in their favor. Sadly, as long as WWE is the way it is, I don't see the momentum swinging back any time soon.

it shoulda just been a 30 minute iron man match. the tag match and 4 way could have used a lil bit more time, and the last half of the main event was boring as shit, with them just brawling in the crowd and slow punching eachother, basically just killing time til the finish.

Posted By: Guest#2964 (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 05:19 PM
I watched Bragging Rights last night and can say as a wrestling fan that I enjoyed the entire show. There was something for everyone.
Everyone knew the Batista heel turn was coming. I even liked how they pulled it off to be honest. When Matthews came into the ring and Batista said he was going to rip Rey's head off, it all just seemed so matter-of-fact that it almost sounded like a joke. Batista as a heel will be awesome.
Everyone knew what was going to happen in the 7 on 7 match the minute Big Show made team Raw.
The Miz win was surprising though. What did he do to deserve the push he's getting?
I must say that I can't stand John Cena. With that being said, I thought the match was awesome! Honestly it had me on the edge of my seat because I really thought Cena would be sent to Smackdown and was going to lose. Now, what's left for Cena? Who will the next feud be with. I would like to see HBK-Cena because HBK could carry just about anyone through an epic match. He has proven it in the past.
Last night though.... I really enjoyed the ppv!

I have to vent about this utter crap I just wasted my money on. I liked nothing on the PPV, nothing. The Miz vs. John Morrison match was fine, but I hate the booking. They should have went out there and had a 20 minute barn burner, then keep them separate until WrestleMania, making people want to pay for a long awaited rematch.
The women's match....what a joke. Smart, Sexy and Powerful? More like Dumb, Lazy, and Weak.
The four-way match was decent enough, but the Batista heel turn was a joke. "You were supposed to be my friend"? Why not just have Batista start coming out with a diaper and bottle and call him Batista the Bulked Up Baby?
The 14-man tag match was an unmitigated disaster IMO. The build was weak, the shirts they wore in the match was laughable (except for Shawn and Hunter, you know they always have to be positioned as cooler then everybody else), and the action was boring. The Big Show swerve made absolutely no sense unless Vince Russo is now hosing Stephanie McMahon.
The Iron Man match was okay but not special. Of course as many times as I've seen these two fight nothing would have felt special unless Randy Orton pulled out a gun and shot John Cena in the face. I won't be buying another WWE PPV for a long time. In fact they would have to pay me just to watch another one and I might even turn that offer down.

How is Orton supposed to focus on the crowd when he's been twisted and contorted for 45 seconds? People have passed out from being in holds that long (Austin at WMXIII), if anything, he was just hearing noise. His body reached a breaking point and he had to tap, is it that hard to understand?
Posted By: Homie (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 07:37 PM
Sounds like it was predictable and sucked. Cena on top, who sucks donkey dick, Undertaker won't job to anyone(I once respected him, now he's a fag), and the Smackdown v Raw was so obvious a 3 year old probably wrote(still better than Vince Russo,SNAP). WWE sucks now and will untill they promote true talent instead of assholes who abuse steroids and have a good build.

That is the damn truth. Undertaker actually looks better now than he did 15 years ago (well, he has looked pretty slow since he returned). But Sting looks nothing like he did 15 years ago. The Sting that feuded with Ric Flair is a totally different wrestler compared to the Sting of today.

As a wrestling fan for over 20 years and not a big fan of cena I have to admit the main event between cena and orton was absolutely amazing.
It kept you on the edge of your seat. I really wasnt expecting much at all from this match but it delivered big time.
People will always complain because they hate cena but you have to hand it to cena here, he done an amazing job selling and orton was brilliant in his role.

But honestly they wrestle for an hour and he taps out with 5 seconds left in it? Totally lame, but also totally WWE. 60 minutes isn't enough it has ot also be a "nailbiter".
Posted By: Rich (Guest) on October 26, 2009 at 10:15 PM
I ordered the ppv. Disappointed. The Main Event bored me to tears and the concept sucked. I would like to have seen Punk win the title but oh well. Also, I do not like Cena but in no way is AJ Styles better. Like someone posted above, the wrestler who brings in money is better..Cena is a draw. AJ is a hilljack, cruiserweight, spotmonkey, with no charisma who would never be more than a tag champ in WWE. At least CM punk is gold on the mic.

Main event was great and AT LAST a Batista heel turn.
Still prefered Bound For Glory though.

hi everyone..coming straight to the point i will stick to my opinion..i was impressed with bragging rights..
lets get to the point..the miz vs morrison was a great match..i think this fued is gonna work really well..as it has so far..they shud ve put the titles on the line though..
the divas match was good but theres nothing to take out of the match..
coming to the 7 on 7 match..i dont understand the need of having that match as well as a 60 minute iron man match on the same night..this match was really good no doubt about it..but wud have been better if it was given some more time..apart from that i thought every one performed well..
undertaker punk and batista and rey again showing their main event character..and hats off to batista for selling the assault on rey..this is how i wud like to see batista..heel..he can be a great heel..i would rather have him on raw and turn heel like this on triple h..anyway undertaker retaining the title was a good move..coz i think taker should carry the title till wrestlemania..since i feel hes gona retire soon..n he deserves to keep the title..coz hes never kept it for too long..lol
orton vs cena..an amazing match..and i will give the entire wrestling credit to randy orton..he was the only reason why the match took place..and the way he carried cena in this match..seems like orton has matured..and very soon will be counted as one of the best wrestlers ever..randy orton has earned my respect over the past couple of years..cena acted very well..and took the beating of his life in this match..not much wrestling seen from him..but the way wwe has once again potrayed his superman skills in the final seconds..and given him the title once again..no doubt he deserved it..and his nights performance was his best ever.
bragging rights has told me one thing..randy orton is without a doubt a complete package for wwe..and if anyone wants to criticise my opinions..watch the match again and see how orton paced this 60 minute epic..and deservingly had it won until the referee was knocked down when he rko'd cena in the dying minutes..

b) his move set is terribly poor considering how much strenght he has and could easily perform all the powerbombs/drivers with addition of slams and suplexes... but there's only STF, Shoulder Block, Attitude Adjustment, U Can't C Me
c) he's just another oversized freak (steroid use?) with large abs and no talent
d) all his matches for championships would be shit if it weren't for Orton or it would be battles of 5 moves like it was with Triple H some 2 weeks ago
