can anyone give me a recap?
Cesaro won the US belt on the youtube preshow

Jericho made Zigs tap w/ the old school Lion Tamer. Weird since everyone thought Irvine was gonna put him over. Then everyone thought this meant Ziggler would cash in later but that didn't happen either. :ld:

Bryan rolled up Kane in a small package for the win. Kane proceeded to rage.

Miz and Mysterio had a better than expected match. Mysterio wore some bootleg Batman gear :snoop: Miz won clean with his dumb finisher.

Sheamus/ADR was weird. ADR tried the Brouge Kick for some reason, didn't work, then he started beating up Ricardo like Tensai does to his man-servant. Then Sheamus actually got the cheap heel-type win with use of foreign object and 3-count while the ref didnt notice ADR got his foot on the rope. Don't know where they're going with this. No Ziggler.

Truth and Kofi beat Billions of Dollas in another decision that made no sense and doesn't seem to be advancing anywhere.

Punk put Show in some new version of the Anaconda Vice and then Cena hopped on and put Show in the STF and Show tapped so they both thought they won, AJ restarted the match. Double chokeslam, they both kick out. Cena hits AA, Punk throws Cena in the bushes and steals the pin.

Lesnar kicks out of Pedigree, Hunter kicks out of F5, Hunter hits 2nd Pedigree, Lesnar immediately no-sells and puts HHH in Kimura lock when he tries to roll him over for the pin. HHH decides to end the PPV with him once again alone in the ring and the announcers suddenly talking like it was a retirement match. Waits for crowd to shower him with respect, instead gets boo's and "You tapped out" chant :russ: Light applause and "triple H" chants follow out of pity and so kliq stans won't kill themselves as he cries his way out of the arena.

The PPV wasn't great but it also wasn't a total disaster.

I didn't see the pre-show but am happy about the result of 'Tino vs Cesaro. Not a Santino fan, never made it a secret. Meh.

Ziggler vs Jericho was okay, too many botches for me to be completely on board with the match, despite it being the one I was looking forward to the most. The ending was b.s. especially since Dolph did not cash in the briefcase. Jericho 'wins the big one'. Odd tagline due to there being not that much emphasis placed on him losing. Sure they crammed in as much as they could with Dolph and Zig the last few weeks or so, but so much more should have been done, considering Jericho is leaving to play Rawk Star!!

The Kane vs D-Bry match was good for what it was. D-Bry needed the win but unfortunately due to the aftermath, this feud doesn't look to be over.

Surprise of the night was Miz vs Rey. Enjoyable match. I still could care less about the Miz but I'll give credit where its due, he had his working boots on.

Sheamus vs ADR matches are not my cup of tea but I started to look forward to the ending due to believing that Dolph/Wade would come out. Not a bad match but these two need to end their feud for good and the 'E' had golden opportunities to do so. Talk about being...

The tag match was basically filler. I get it that PTP has a following and they definitely can be fun to look at but there is something missing. This past week on Raw, even without A-Dub they looked decent out there but I don't know maybe its who they are feuding with. Eh...I'm just feeling indifference.

Punk vs Cena vs Show wasn't anything special. I mean the rivalry between John and Punk just isn't interesting and adding Show to the equation doesn't help matters. Also, AJ's appearance was pointless.

I didn't see the K. Rudolph performance (uploading gifs) but I have heard a couple of his songs and they all sound the same.

Trips vs Brock was okay. I didn't feel that it lived up to the hype and I'm not interested at all in seeing yet another HHH comeback story. The ending with him going for a deep moment was hilariously sad- unintentional comedy at its highest form. The swerve from the fans in attendance was so wrong yet funny.

Jericho beat Ziggler. Good match :leon:

D-Bry beat Kane. Kane threw a fit after the match and beat people up backstage. Match was alright.

Miz beat Mysterio. :snooze: Mysterio came out in a Dark Knight attire, Miz came out to that Awesome bubble thing from Mania.

Sheamus beat Del Rio, didn't care enough to watch.

Truth & Kofi beat. PTP :birdman: Surprisingly good match, Young got a rollup off a distraction but Truth kicked out and hit the paydirt or whatever he calls it.

Punk def. Show & Cena, wasn't paying attention for most of it. They both made Big Show tapout, then AJ came out and forced the match to restart, and Punk pinned Cena.

Lesnar beat Hunter, shyt was :scusthov:, Lesnar no sold a pedigree and won after Haitch tapped out to a kimura. He stood in the ring after for like 10 minutes and people chanted "you tapped out!". Then he walked away.

You missed nothing, PPV was ass minus two or three matches.

punk pinned show
