So tonight sold out the house and I do not only mean Madison Square Gardens but he also sold out the Movie Theater I tried to get into and I was not the only one that was turned away because there had to be at least 50 other people in line when it was announced and I do not know how many were there for the next Twilight showing but lets just say that Rock's first match in 7 years and I guess teaming with Pebbles did not hurt it. So I came home and watched on my computer and U know what that means at least I tried to pay for it and what a great show it was indeed.
To start it was John Morrison Vs Dolph Ziggler and it was a long match with Vicki even broken up a pin fall for Morrison and got sent to the back but in the end Dolph got the zig zag on Morrison for the victory. Then the fans announced what they wanted from this match as they chanted for Ryder and after Dolph's music hit and he was ready to leave then Ryder's music hit and he attacked Dolph Ziggler to just tell him he will be the next champ woo woo woo U know it.
Then came the lumber Jill match that ended when Beth had Eva on the top rope and hit the glam slam for the win and after the match Natalia had to hold Beth up so she may be legit hurt which would be horrible even though we will not need to Eva for another 6 months.
Then Rock basically ran down his complete bio of the Gardens starting with his grandfather faced Superstar Billy Gramm in '77 and then 5 years later his father was in a tag match to the point where he was the sole survivor of his team in the '96 Survivor Series.
Then came the traditional Survivor Series match between Randy Orton's team Vs Wade Barrett's team and Ziggler was eliminated first then it was Kofi and from there Sin Ciara hiper extended his knee while hanging from the turnbuckle and was eliminated because he could not perform. The biggest pop of the night came next when Cody Rhoades pinned Mason Ryan and after Shamas would not broke a choke hold by the 5 count so it was four against 1 and it ended with Orton Vs both Barrett and Rhoades where they teamed up to beat Orton so the two of them were the Survivors.
Then a lot of filler to get the ring ready for Big show Vs Mark Henry and it included a segment with Del Rio and the Belles and then they showed the ring being reinforced and what happened last time.
The was hugely hot for Mark Henry but with the very slow bringing with Show trying to use wrestling moves and Henry just stepped out of the ring and the crowd turned and did a this is boring chant and later a Daniel Bryant chant. The match had some big moves with Henry driving Big Show through the barricade and Show got back into the ring with a 9 count and finally got control of the match with a superkick that brought a HBK chant and then it got very awkward when Show went to the top rope and it took a while but he finally did a bionic elbow that brought a Randy Savage chant. Then when Henry low blowed Show for the DQ to keep the title which got boos from the crowd and then Henry tried to break Show's leg again but he moved out of the way and then took out Henry who needed help to the back and may have to give up the title.
Then Striker interviewed Barrett who said he wanted to be the first English born heavy weight champ and was cut off by Awesome Truth where Truth talked about Rock and Pebbles being on the side of busses and not them and then mentioned that pigeons only shit and they are going to shit on Rock and Cena. Then going to a video package Lawler screwed up and said that the the Del Rio and Punk angle started at Survivor Series and U could hear Cole said that it was Summerslam as they went to the package.
Then the surprise of the night happened when it was announced that CM Punk had his own ring announce and Hall of Famer Howard Finkle came out to a huge pop and a Howard Finkle went up and then CM punk came out and it got even louder and a CM Punk chant was only stopped by a We want Ice Cream Bar chant. During the match there were a lot of high spots and near falls with Punk not able to get the go to sleep on so it came down to Del Rio throwing Punk into the ropes and he hit Rodriquez and then look at him and Del Rio rolled up Punk for two and then Punk got a pin for two and then beat Del Rio with the anaconda device and the best part of the match was when Punk did a proper bionic elbow with the arms in the air. Then he celebrated in the crowd while Finkle announced that CM Punk is the new World Champion and the crowd was on fire waiting for the next match.
But first they made them wait through a recap of the angle that brought together Rock and Pebbles and then Awesome Truth sang their way down to the ring and then the crowd chanted for the Rock and nothing happened for a minute which was followed by Pebbles coming down to the ring to cheer and Boos. Then the roof came off the building as the Rock made his way down to the ring and U could hear a Rocky chant while the music was playing and then it was ruined by the announcers talking when they should not of.
The match was brought down by the announcers in this match as they should of allowed the crowd to tell the story but instead they did not allow it to breath at all and Awesome True controlled the entire match until the end and Rock and pebbles were not on the same page as early Rock tried to tag Pebbles and he was not in position and when he finally got into the ring he got bet down and when he had his chance to tag the rock in he just tried to finish the match by himself and it never worked. Then when Rock got tagged in he got control of the match and did his people's elbow and then the sharp shooter to finish the match. After the match Rock invited Cena who was on the ramp to get back into the ring and they did a popularity contest and it finished with Rock given Cena the Rock Bottom and it was the time all match when they kept quiet.
The New York crowd made this Survivor Series like it was a Wrestle Mania and where hot for everything except for the lumber Jills match so I feel this most definitely be the PPV of the year at least it is in my books and it is all because of the New York Crowd.
Can not wait for Wrestle Mania 28 in Miami
