Though this PPV had its ups and downs, on a whole, I give it a thumbs up.
I thought that the Diva's match came off well and kept my interest. Better than average match.
Air booms victory was predictable, as was Swagger helping Ziggler retain the title.
Christian and Sheamus was the only match that I did not expect the win correctly. I thought that Christian cheating to win would have been a better set-up for Survivor series.
I like Miz and R-Truth, and I thought they sold well for HHH/Punk. What made this match a failure to me is that all of the positive stuff for HHH/Punk team was dictated by HHH. They did not need to make him out as the invincible one. He sold very little in this match, and that did not help in getting Truth and Miz over as well as they could have. It made Punk look weak.
Henry and Big Show is just a bad match-up to look good. You can't make two monster look good against each other. But, WWE came up with a creative way to make that match memorable, and that was the ring gimmick. That will make this match one that stands out for a very long time.
The ring was also the centerpiece for the Del Rio/ Cena match. I thought they made some fun spots as well as creative spots due to the ring condition. Del Rio saying he's the champion and he cannot wrestle in a ring like that, plus the expression was very good selling. Cena's five knuckle shuffle spot was funny. Other than that, the other sports were very strong, but certainly nothing new. Using all the props came off good, but not creative. Similar spots have been used throughout the last 10 years. The finish was predictable and expected, but it did not take away from the match.
Overall, I give the show a thumbs up. Better than Hell in the Cell and better than TNA's Bound for Glory.

Very solid show overall, I'd give it a solid B+.
Big Show/Mark Henry I thought was freakin' fantastic, easy match of the night IMO.

Didn't that happen several years ago on Smackdown when either Big Show or Marc Henry collapsed the ring with "The Next Big Thing" who is now in MMA????
