WWE Tries To Go Extreme

D.P. | California | 07/13/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Unlike the previous two years where this was an ECW event, all of WWE was represented on this PPV and after seeing the last ECW PPV...count your blessings that this wasn't an Vince McMahon ECW show. The format is very similar to how WCW did their Uncensored PPV back in '95 & how WWE does their Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday events in which every match has a special stipulation/gimmick to it. It made for a very unique PPV by WWE standards.

Stretcher Match: RVD vs. Randy Orton - The rules for this one are to put your opposition on a stretcher & carry them across the finish line at the entrance way. As a personal note, this is ironic for me since this is RVD's last match in WWE & one of the very first RVD matches I ever saw was against Sabu in ECW...in a stretcher match. This match had RVD selling his concussion from the previous week while Orton was targeting his head. RVD was able to pull off the shocking upset win in the end but Orton got the last word with him delivering a DDT onto the floor with RVD hanging off the barricade.

Tables Match: Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, C.M. Punk vs. New Breed - ECW comes back to the event that they created. This match was real short & was the usual ECW style brawl similar to their WM match with it not having enough time for everyone to get their spots in but it was a good entertaining match for what it was.

Ladder Match: World Tag Team Champions The Hardys vs. World's Greatest Tag Team - Knowing the Hardys reputation in ladder matches with this being Jeff's 4th ladder match & Matt's 3rd in under a year along with Shelton's showstealing performances in the first two Money In The Bank along with him & Hass' outstanding performance in their "forgotten" ladder match again Tajiri & Eddie Guerrero...you just knew this was going to be the match of the night which it was. The match started out as a brawl then the ladders were brought into play to make moves more high impact such as Hass being slammed off the top rope onto the ladder, Shelton being backdropped on one lying on the ring apron, and the Hardys shoving Hass & Benjamin off the ladder with Shelton going over the top rope & hitting a ladder on the way down. This wasn't a spotfest but was still a great match that was worthy of going on the ladder match DVD if this match happened earlier in the year.

Lumberjack Match: Kane vs. Mark Henry - Eventhough it was a lumberjack, Kane & Henry made it clear that they didn't need or want any help to get back into the ring whenever they were knocked out. This was the typical lumberjack match where the heels will help the heel as the faces did the same for the face. In the ring, this was a nice for a big man match with Henry not having to be carried or Kane overselling Henry's offense to make him look credible. The ending with Kane passing out in a bearhug was the only weak point in this match for me.

Street Fight Match: ECW Champion Mr. McMahon vs. Bobby Lashley - As expected, Shane McMahon & Umaga came out with Mr. McMahon and look out for Lashley doing a "crash & burn" trying to dive over the top onto Umaga. The match for the most part was just like their previous match at Backlash where Shane & Umaga did the dirty work with Mr. McMahon getting in his cheap shots with Lashley only getting his offense in when they made a mistake towards the end of the match. This was the most watchable match out of their series & served it's purpose of Lashley defying the odds & getting back his ECW title but besides that, nothing special here.

Pudding Match: Candice Michelle vs. Melina - With the expection of Candice almost losing her top & Melina's bikini, this was wrestlecrap at it's best.

Steel Cage Match: World Champion Edge vs. Batista - Well, this heavily makes up for their Judgment Day match as Batista did carry his own weight here in this cage match. It's wasn't a bloody massacre but a watchable matchup.

Falls Count Anywhere Match: WWE Champion John Cena vs. Great Khali - This was just like Judgment Day in the fact that Cena had to oversell Khali's offense to make the match someone watchable with the difference this time being that he actually got some more (but not much) offense in & used weapons like the camera boom to help him out. But in a nutshell, it was a clone of their Judgment Day match...a victory for Cena over the "monster" Khali.

DVD extras include a post match interviews with Cena, Henry, and Edge along with the RVD/Orton match from the previous RAW.

Overall, the first three matches were the best ones while the cage match was watchable. The rest of the matches were passable & nothing really memorable or anything to hurry up & rush to see but it looks better in comparison to the lackluster Judgment Day. I recommend this for a rental & make up your own mind."

Really poorly done

"The only thing that make this a two star insead of one star was ok steel cage match, ok 7 min table match, and a pretty good ladder match.

1. Stretcher Match Randy Orton vs Rob Van Dam
This is the worst way to end RVD's stint in the wwe I can't beleive that he was used to put over Randy Orton the match is barley any action at all and mostly RVD selling the head injury this the aftermath will make you fall asleep 6/10

2. Six-Man Table Match Cm Punk, Tommy Dreamer, and Sandman vs Elijah Burke, Monty Brown, and Matt Striker
This is one of the highlights of the night it's not that long but it keeps you entertained no real high spots but just really soild 8/10

3. Ladder Match World Tag Titles Hardys vs Worlds greatest tag team
This is match of the night they had a good spots and even though Charlie wasn't great with the ladder he had his great spots and hardys and shelton were great with the ladder as always if you really want this match than i guess you should buy the dvd 9.5/10

4. Lumberjack match Mark Henry vs Kane
Worst match of the night would have been better if kane would have came in and laid down horrible 1.25/10

5. Street Fight ECW Title Lashley vs McMahon
This is the best match of the feud but that isn't saying much it's a glorified handicap match as shane and fatu come out to help vince again and fatu does most of the work in the match and shane hits a big elbow again and tries the coast to coast but the match isn't a great ppv match again 6.5/10

6. Pudding match Melina vs Candice Michelle
Come on Pudding horrible this isn't really even a match but they both look hot 1/10

7. Steel Cage Match World Title Edge vs Batista
This match is better than the other match on the card but still not great they both worked pretty hard but still Steel cage and no blood man this is the worst ppv of 2007 but the match is good no real high spots just solid which is a breath of fresh air 8/10

8. Falls Count Anywhere Match John Cena vs Great Khali
This isn't a way to end a ppv let me tell you the match cena and khali brawl in the ring they go outside then to the crowd cena fights back khali gets the match back in his hands and then Cena hits a fu off of a crane The end bad ppv and bad finish 5.25/10"
