WWE: Bragging Rights 2009

WWE Bragging Rights 2009
It seems like a few weeks ago WWE had anther PPV..oh wait, they did! I think WWE is over doing it with anther PPV but fans will buy it no matter what. The 7-on-7 could have easily been built into Survivor Series but WWE prolonging a storyline/feud is something they rarely do anymore. Here is the run down of the cardMiz VS Morrison: A very good match-up with a few botched spots. I do agree the finish was pretty weak but made sense.They also annouced a shiny trophy would be given out to the superior brand. Does anyone remember ECW is a brand? They made half the new superstars we are watching on the Smackdown and Raw brands. What a slap in the face to that company.Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix, & Natalya (Smackdown) VS Melina, Gail Kim, & Kelly Kelly (Raw): If you count it's 1-0 for Raw, so that pretty much gives the results away. A decent match but nothing speical.Undertaker VS CM Punk VS Rey Mysterio VS Batista: Undertaker puts on a good match but again, this match is short. This would have been the perfect opportunity for CM Punk to retain his title and maintain a great heel. However, this would have been Taker's third short title run. It was a very good match but it felt short and Taker retains the belt with a tombstone on Batista. I smell a feud and CM Punk's push being over.Batista then turns on Mysterio after the match, I guess Punk will get world title shots at least until after Survivor Series.Also, is Mysterio the only WWE guy who can take steroids and still have legions of fans? I find it kind of funny people always welcome him back with open arms.Team Raw (Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Big Show, Jack Swagger, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, & Mark Henry) VS Team Smackdown (Chris Jericho, Kane, Matt Hardy, David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd, Finlay, & R-Truth: This match was good because it showed us what WWE had in store for it's future. I enjoyed this match and i've always said Smackdown was the better brand, wrestling wise. Big Show turns on Raw, so I guess that makes him a Smackdown wrestler? Confusing but i'm sure Vince and company found a way to explain it.Randy Orton VS John Cena: I'm hearing alot of people call it one of the best matches of the year. I thought it was a good effort even though i'm sick of watching them on TV. Cena will soon be filming anther movie so Orton will retain in the next month. Raw is too scared to lose there top moneymaker so Cena retains the belt via submission. I thought it was good but they did stall alot.Overall, a good PPV that is worth watching at least once. The 7-on-7 match could have been saved and built upon for Survivor Series but oh well.

Ironman match was worth price of admission alone
Bragging Rights 2009 was a good ppv, the Miz & Morrison matchup was good, the Divas match was your typical wwe divas match, the 7 on 7 match was ok but could have been better the Fatal 4 way match was ok but short the match of the year was defently the anything goes Ironman match Cena & Orton defintly gave it their all & the match alone is worth the price of Admission let alone this video

THE BRANDS GO TO WAR AGAIN
WWEBRAGGING RIGHTS 20091.THE MIZ VS JOHN MORRISON-this was a great way to kick off the event with two former partners going at it. These two were tag team champs at one point before being split by the draft. This was a good opener in my opinion with a lot of back and forth action. Miz was more of a grinder and power wrestler here with Morrison more of the high flyer. My boy Miz of course takes the win and puts Raw up one to nothing.2.MELINA, KELLY KELLY, GAIL KIM VS MICHELLE MCCOOL, BETH PHOENIX, NATALYA-now when you look at the names here it was pretty obvious who was going to win. I mean Smackdown is literally the stronger team with Natalya and Beth, and McCool is always entertaining. The action here is your typical women's match type, short and ok. Team Smackdown had the much better team with three of my favorites, just needed the other half of Lay Cool and that would have been great. Raw of course I was rooting against here since I can't stand Melina. Beth gets the win here making it Raw one and Smackdown one.3.[FATAL FOUR WAY WORLD TITLE MATCH]THE UNDERTAKER VS REY MYSTERIO VS CM PUNK VS BATISTA-this was an excellent fast paced match like these multi guy matches usually are. A lot of high spots followed by more high spots, and with the four guys that were in this match you get different styles. A lot of near falls and finisher after finisher make for an exciting match. But after Taker keeps his belt in tact it is what happens after that was the show stealer. Batista's heel turn as he demolishes former best friend Rey Mysterio. I loved his little speech to Rey right before the beat down, "I' am not playing.......I' am gonna rip your head off". Great stuff.4.[RAW VS SMACKDOWN]D-X, BIG SHOW, KOFI KINGSTON, MARK HENRY, JACK SWAGGER, CODY RHODES VS CHRIS JERICHO, KANE, MATT HARDY, FINLAY, R-TRUTH, THE HART DYNASTY-I have to admit that I have always been a fan of these multi tag matches. The bragging rights thing is a good excuse to put multiple top talents against each other. As you can see from the line up there are a lot of good guys in this match and of course it was fun. Sure it may be pointless other than starting or continuing storylines and such, but I like them. Of course with any match like this you get the high spots, beat downs, and dramatic tag-ins, all are present here. The ending was cool with Show turning on Raw and causing them to loose the match and fall two to one over all.5.[IRONMAN MATCH WWE TITLE MATCH]RANDY ORTON VS JOHN CENA-why did the champ come out first, I don't care that they announced them in the ring as challenger first then champion, the champ comes out last. Any way this match was a no DQ and no Count out Iron-Man match pitting these two rivals together. Of course you know they are rivals because that is what the storyline and video package was all about. Cena gets the first fall after making Randy tap, but Randy tapped quickly to remain fresh.From there the match got even crazier with exploding sets and Randy trying to blow Cena up. This match was much better than I expected it to be. Not sure why there was some doubt but I was worried. The action goes every where from the ring to outside and all the way into the fans. The rest of the pin fall countdown is as follows.Orton gets the next pin fall after a nice RKO. We get a double pin fall after another great RKO. Cena quickly goes up three to two after an AA. Orton evens it up after Legacy interferes, soon after Kofi Kingston chases them out. Randy takes the lead after getting the next fall, but Cena gets a surprise pin fall. Randy gets the next fall with nasty DDT to the outside. An AA through a table gets Cena the tie, and at the end he makes Orton tap with seconds left and is the new champ. Still that should not have happened since Orton tapped with 5 or so seconds left on the clock it should have been stopped with the thirty second rest period. Then with the 5 or so seconds Randy had the chance to get a quick roll up to tie it, should have been done that way.Any way this was a good event with out a single match I disliked, it also has an interview with Jericho on the DVD.

WWE BRAGGING RIGHTS 2009 review
WWE BRAGGING RIGHTS 2009The Miz Vs John MorrisonA fairly good match to get things going at this event. Some exciting moments and a counter won the match. 6/10Melina, Kelly Kelley & Gail Kim Vs Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix & NatalyaTypical Divas match with lots of hair pulling and screaming. It seems to me that this match was just on the match card to fill in some time. The best part of this match was the entrances. Bad match. 2/10Undertaker Vs CM Punk Vs Batista Vs Rey MysterioThis Fatal Four Way Match for the World Heavyweight Championship was full of high impact moves and was quite entertaining. However, at the end of the match Batista attacked Rey Mysterio. Good match. 7/10Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Big Show, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger & Cody Rhodes Vs Chris Jericho, Kane, Matt Hardy, Finlay, R-Truth, David Hart Smith & Tyson KiddThis match was just like a survivor series match with no eliminations. Big Show betrayed his team. Not the worlds best match. 6/10Randy Orton Vs John CenaThis one hour anything goes iron man match for the WWE Championship was brutal and kept me on the edge of my seat until the final bell. The final fall came with four seconds left. One of the best iron man matches ever. 10/10My overall rating for BRAGGING RIGHTS 2009 is 6/10I would recommend this PPV to wrestling fans who like to see a variety of matches in the same show.
