After all the posing, Orton and Barrett had a decent match. Barrett threw some great strikes and played the heel really well, I'm not sure if he could ever be a successful face though. Then Randy got into his routine: scoop slam, DDT from the ropes... Until the ref got knocked out. Barrett hit Randy with the WWE title and ordered Cena (cue screams) to be the replacement ref. He complied and counted but Orton kicked out at 2, which led to an argument between Cena and Barrett. Randy then hit a picture perfect RKO and won. So that's 2 hometown boys losing, well done WWE. You really know how to book a show.Then came the interval. Justin Roberts hopped out of the ring after telling us to buy a photo 'personally signed by John Cena'. No thanks. Lauren asked me to go and see Justin Roberts with her, I said no. She asked again, I said no. She asked again and I eventually went and stood at the barrier with her, only to have my hand touched by JUSTIN ROBERTS. Announcers love us, first that girl who used to announce on ECW waved at us, then Chimel gave us a nod, now Roberts touched my hand. Who's next?Match 7.
Maryse, Tamina and Alicia Fox vs. The Bellas (Groan) and Eve (GROAN). Maryse and Tamina I can watch wrestling quite happily. But adding a person who's legs are far too long for their body, 2 twins who are possibly more annoying than Taylor Swift's face and someone who has as much personality as a wet sponge does not help the situation. After saying all that, the match wasn't too bad. There were a couple of botches but they were recovered well. Maryse played an awesome heel whilst the Bella's wrestling has got so much better. The thing that annoyed me most about this match was the silly smark sat behind us chanting, 'BORING'. If he had opened his eyes he would have seen that this Divas match was better than most of the ones they have at the televised shows. Stupid man. The Bellas and Eve won, somehow. Yet another face victory.Match 8.Sheamus vs. John Morrison. We love Morrison so much that we made him a 'I ♥ JOMO IN SLOW-MO' sign. I thought of that myself, how clever of me.(Maybe I should copyright it...) He saw it and pointed. We, yet again got over exicted and nearly ripped the sign in half. This match was excellent and one of the best of the night. It was clearly practice for both of them and almost the exact same match was on RAW a couple of weeks later, but it was still amazing. JoMo and Sheamus are both in great shape and delivered some new moves, you couldn't take your eyes off the match. Sheamus won in the end (and was the only heel to do so all night) but we were not too disappointed as JoMo saw our sign again. Match 9.MAIN EVENT TIME! First out was the Miz. The next WWE champion came out to a chorus of boos (not from us, of course) and proceeded to tell the arena why he is so awesome. He then got Alex Riley to say a few words about him which ended up with the quote of the year: 'I fold this man's underwear and I like it.' Genius.I know most people say that Cena is the new Rock and Orton is the new Austin, but Miz is more like the Rock than anybody else in the company. The way he poses, talks and carries himself shows that he has been influenced by 'The Great One'. Although, I think he should do a Mr. Anderson and let the crowd finish his catchphrase.Next out was Mr Cena who got the loudest pop of the night. We did not catch his cap or T-shirt, despite our Cena sign. The little kids in the front rows got them instead, which prompted the question, 'Why can't I be small and cute anymore?' When I was 7 years old, the biggest superstar around was Stone Cold and he was more likely to throw a can of beer at your rather than his cap. Been as we were sat on the 5th row, we could hear Cena say. 'I'm feeling good tonight' and it showed. Cena was doing dropkicks and leapfrogs all over the place, very athletic for a guy who many say, 'can't wrestle'. Both him and The Miz put on a solid main-event with Miz taking some time out to shout at little kids wearing Cena merch. A-Ry got involved and Miz went to hit Cena with the MITB briefcase but Cena dodged it and he hit Riley instead (Miz then pulled the funniest face known to man, unfortunately I didn't get a picture). Cena hit the AA and won.
All in all this was an amazing show, the wrestlers did a fantastic job of entertaining us. Even if they have travelled half way across the world, are jet-lagged and exhausted they still perform to the best of their abilities. That's why we love it.Roll on TNA in January!

Hell In A Cell.We weren't originally going to order this PPV, but the Cena vs Barrett match swayed it for us.Miz vs Morrison vs Bryan.I was sceptical about this match, because Submission matches normally bore the hell out of me. It started off well, but it then got very interesting. The star of this match for me, was definitely John Morrison. Not only did JoMo do an amazing Starship Pain (and actually did it correctly) but he did what quite frankly can only be described as a leap of death. The man is crazy. I thought that he had Miz at the top of the ramp, but to my surprise I was very happy to see Alex Riley break it up and fall into a cameraman (which is always funny).Bryan then made Miz tap out. What I find strange is that Bryan isn't getting a big crowd reaction at all, I have a theory for this: ENTRANCE MUSIC. It can either make or break a wrestler. The entrances should reflect a wrestlers character (Zack Ryder and Cody Rhodes being great examples) but Bryan's music is boring. Actually, that is quite a good judge of character.Orton vs Sheamus.I was confused as to why this match was so early on in the card but I was looking forward to it all the same. Randy Orton's HIAC matches are always excellent, so I was hoping Sheamus could perform to the same standard. He did.This match was full of high spots, my favourite being Randy Orton telling the cameraman to 'MOVE!'. Orton won with an RKO (one of my favourite finishers) and then climbed up the cell. All I was thinking when he got up to the top was, 'For crying out loud Randy, don't fall off.' Luckily, he didn't.Edge vs Swagger.Edge had shown up on Smackdown to rain on Jack Swagger's parade in his never-ending quest to end stupidity. It only makes sense that Alberto Del Rio was his next target. Although this time, it was Swagger who interrupted Edge. Edge got a bit angry and went after Swagger and Del Rio and the GM (who sounded a bit like Verne Troyer last week) interfered in the brawl. The GM organised an 'impromptu' match betweeen Swagger and Edge. It was a fair match, as per usual Swagger bled from the mouth. Edge won with a spear and nicely set up a Bragging Rights feud.Cena vs Barrett.This is it. This is what months of Cena fighting against Nexus boils down to. Before this match, I was hoping for Barrett to win. Not because I dislike John Cena but because I didn't want WWE to disband their best product. I was not disappointed.The match started off very well and whilst John Cena was gaining the upper-hand, Nexus then decided to take front row seats at the bottom of the ramp. Wade got a bit angry at them and his Manchester accent got very broad, I'm disappointed that Justin Gabriel didn't have a rational explanation to enlighten us with (in the past he has come out with such gems as, 'Where's the spare key?'). I then had a little mark out moment where the Superstars joined forces and drove Nexus away from ringside. This is where I would have turned into Creative Director and Wade would get John set up for the Wasteland whilst Cena was distracted by the Superstars. This way, Wade would have won and Cena could have blamed his loss on the other Superstars. Therefore, turning him heel.Unfortunately this didn't happen. The match went on for a bit longer, with Wade even kicking out of the AA (which gave Wade a lot of credibility). Cena had the STF locked in until a fan got into the ring and distracted the ref. Another fan (these fans look suspiciously like NXT season 2 rookies) then hit Cena in the head which helped Wade get the pin. YES! Even though there was interference, Cena is now part of the Nexus. I really didn't think that WWE had the guts to pull something like this off but they have surprised me again. I cannot wait until RAW. Natalya vs McCool.Two of the best female wrestlers in the WWE get to have a great singles match on PPV. What I didn't like was that when they unified the titles, they decided to keep the Divas Championship. I would prefer it if the WWE referred to their female competitors as 'wrestlers' and kept the Womens Championship, which sounds a lot more credible than the Divas.The two of them had a brilliant match, until it ended in a DQ. Hopefully the feud will carry on.Undertaker vs Kane.I wouldn't say that I was looking forward to this match. Both Taker and Kane are past their prime and this is a very physically demanding match. Although, I know that both of them can pull off anything.The match was very even, with a lot of 'BOO...YEY...BOO...' from the crowd. All their finishers were used (including a Last Ride from Taker). Kane then knocked out the ref, allowing Paul Bearer to enter the cell. Taker got temporarily blinded by light coming from the urn, which was then given to Kane by Bearer. I did not see that one coming! Kane won with the help of Bearer. Overall the match wasn't bad. It didn't need the cell though, as it was hardly used. I'm glad I didn't get my hopes up for a HIAC match like the one Taker and Foley had.This PPV was well worth our money, the word 'surprise' has been used a lot in this post and that is what WWE does best. The predictability that WWE has had in the past has most definitely gone and if this is the standard that all PPVs are going to be, I'm looking forward to the future.The thing that ruined it a bit for me, was Lawler's digs at Striker. Keep it professional guys.

We had mixed emotions about the main event of Summerslam 2010, mostly the fear of being disappointed. The mystery member of Team WWE had still not been announced and we thought that it would probably be Mark Henry (It always is, isn't it?). But to our surprise, The Miz decided that he would take the spot. Ok, that isn't too bad.
Just when we got comfortable in our seats to watch the match, John Cena decides to say that Miz was too late and he has already found someone. Hence, both of us literally on the edge of our seats, feeling sick with anticipation...
Cena: "Well, sorry Miz but you are too late. You see, we have been looking all over for another member and we have already found one."Miz: "Who? Who could possibly be more awesome than me?"
Cena: "Good question, but maybe there is somebody. Somebody with millions...and millions of fans."Miz: "So, who are you going to get? Lady Gaga? The Jonas Brothers?"Cena: "Sadly, no. We have got this man..."
-"IF YOU SMELLLL, WHAT THE ROCK, IS COOKIN'."
And then I woke up.
There was no Rock. But there was a huge surprise that it was Daniel Bryan that showed up. We are not the biggest fans of his here at 'Oh My...' but we applauded WWE on an actual surprise. Unfortunately, there are three things wrong with Daniel Bryan being the mystery member.
1. Nobody mentioned that he had any bad feelings towards the Nexus. Last time we saw him, he was working with them. Confusing, yes.
2. He spat in Cena's face, now they are acting like best buddies.
3. His facial hair looks abysmal.
The actual match was very good, since this was basically professionals against rookies. It eventually got down to John Cena and Wade Barrett. We were hoping that Wade would pull this one out of the bag because Nexus had dominated nearly everyone on the roster. We were mistaken, Wade the 6'5'', bare knuckle fighting Mancunian tapped out to Cena.
Overall, this PPV was worth staying up until 4 in the morning for. Roll on Summerslam 2011.

Here at 'Oh My...' we like, no love, Cody Rhodes. This is why there is yet another blog about this 'Dashing' superstar after this week's Smackdown.
His promo this week was truly HILARIOUS. I know that he can't stop telling people how dashing he is, but who knew the man had this much comedic talent? Ok, maybe it wan't supposed to be funny but I laughed because I know how much of a nerd he is really...(Woah, is that a Zelda Triforce Cody?)The whole backstage area and the fact that he was wearing a towel reminded me of this monumental event in WWE's history >
On Superstars this week, something happened that is quite possibly 
the shocker of the century. Zack Ryder...In trunks.WHAT HAPPENED ZACK?! Where did your one-legged tights go? When Zack walked down the ramp, there was a gasp, then a silence of about 30 seconds before Lauren got why I gasped in the first place. (She had a Joey moment.)We still love Long Island Iced Z, but we have to ask the question : "Why Zack, why?" Is it because your ex-girlfriend decides to exercise during Smackdown tapings? I suppose we will never know, but please ditch the trunks.Everybody knows that one-legged tights are the future...(And plus it took us so long to make those damn tights on SvR 2010.)We seem to notice on RAW that when John Cena doesn't have the championship, he reverts back to the comedian Cena. However, when he does have the championship he seems to be all serious....
Therefore, this week John Cena came down the ramp smiling. He made a few jokes, danced around a bit and even called Sheamus a human jar of mayonnaise. (Even though John himself used to be pale, search for Episode 49 of the Dirt Sheet, you will love it.) I adore this Cena, the man who shows off his mic skills and makes you laugh. It makes him a bit more likable to the masses. Be funny Cena! It suits you!R x

Least Likely To Be Future Endeavoured This WeekCody Rhodes This week, Rhodey Codes debuted a new gimmick: 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes. The 2 creators of 'Oh My...' officially love Cody a little bit more than we probably sho
uld, for reasons that are not clear to us. Maybe its the fact that he has a new nose piercing, or that he enters the arena backwards, or maybe that fact that he doesn't wear kneepads to seem 'old school', but we truly adore the man.
Plus, we fans know Cody is a true nerd at heart. Maybe we feel we can relate to the comic book-reading, GI Joe-playing, Zelda Triforce-wearing son of a 'Common Man'. After the break-up of Legacy, many thought that he would be the 'Jannetty' of the group, but if this gimmick works we see bright, shiny things in Cody's future - and no, we're not just talking about the light bouncing off Randy Orton's well-oiled body.
Accent of the WeekJustin GabrielIn the spirit of World Cup fever, we pay homage to the host nation by nominating the only South African wrestler on the roster and our favourite NXT Season 1 rookie: Justin Gabriel. 
Many people think that he doesn't have the mic skills to succeed in the WWE, but does any of that matter when you have a beautiful South African accent? No, is our answer. We can forgive his shakiness and stuttering just as long as he says something with that accent, because the creators of this blog are seriously considering moving to South Africa to adopt their African twang. Thank you Justin, and thank you South Africa.**But our appreciation doesn't quite cover the whole vuvuzela situation.Look-a-likes Of The WeekJohn Cena & Darren YoungYes, we know it's probably very predictable, but it's also really funny. The 'black John Cena' himself even admitted it on the June 21 episode of Raw. It
really is uncanny how two completely unrelated Superstars can look so alike. At first, here at 'Oh My...', we thought it was just us who had weird minds, but after reading other blogs and hearing Young's own admission, we started to think we weren't going crazy. Maybe we'll see these two tag-teaming in the future, the referee might have a little difficulty in telling them apart though. They could use it to their advantage, its been done before; just look at the Bellas, the Usos, and Edge/Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder.Woo Woo Woo. You Know It.
