FULL PPV THOUGHTS: THE OVER THE LIMIT BLOG

Orton got the biggest pop. ... I thought I heard Lilian say that Sheamus weighed 227 pounds. I am watching live so I can't rewind. If she did, someone f'd up. ... The heels were in control early on, until Jericho kicked Alberto. Now it's every man for himself. ... Booker just said that Alberto looks like he has been hitting the gym. Cole smartly pointed out like all four of the guys in the match look that way. I am changing the saying. It is now, "There is no cure for Booker". ... Early on, they are all getting their stuff in. I expect this will get some time. ... They are doing the bit where it's mostly two guys in the ring while two guys sell on the floor. The two right now are Orton and Sheamus, but Alberto came in and attacked Orton. Sheamus rolled out. Jericho came in an attacked Alberto. Orton rolled out. Now it's party time. ... Orton is bleeding from the bridge of his nose. More unwanted color for WWE. ... Out of nowhere, Jericho puts the Walls on Alberto, which left him open for a Sheamus kick. But, Jericho knew that and ducked it and hit the Codebreaker. ... Cole uses that moment to push some article about whether Jericho should have never come back on WWE.com. Yeah, that is what I want to wonder during a title match I paid big money to see, if one of the guys in it belongs. There is no cure for WWE creative. ... Out of nowhere Orton gets a two count on Jericho. Sheamus hits the Brogue kick on Orton and gets a two when Jericho breaks it up. So, Sheamus hit White Noise on Jericho to retain. I guess WWE.com was right about Y2J. ... Anyway, it was a good match once it got going, the first one on the show. ... Booker just said it had to have gone 35 to 40 minutes. So the English language isn't the only thing he is clueless about. Add telling time to that. ... Orton isn't happy. Looks like we have a face vs. face feud coming for the World Title.

For some reason that led to Miz coming out for a match. I don't get it either. He is going to lose to, er wrestle, Brodus Clay. The fans sucks for liking Clay (hard to argue with him there). Oh jeez, Miz is gonna dance. I am not making this up. He dances and mocks Brodus so guess what happened. Yup. This is extra hour of Raw material. That isn't a compliment.

Oh jeez, Miz is gonna dance. I am not making this up. He dances and mocks Brodus so guess what happened. Yup. This is extra hour of Raw material. That isn't a compliment. ... The high point of the show this far is that I ordered late and picked standard definition. I saved 10 bucks by accident. ... The high point early on was Cole using the same Stegosaurus line and Lawler pointing it out. ... OK, I have to ask, why am I watching this? Clay is wearing Halloween colors in May. WTF. ... Yeah, Clay won. Somebody call his mama. And when you do, ask he why she didn't use protection on the night of conception. ... OK scary moment after the match came when King said, "There are still mousketeers on the Disney Channel Cole, you idiot". Uh King, how would you know that?

Reks (Broni) and Hawkins (Jo) went into the crowd and took anti-Johnny signs.

Cody said his dad wouldn't let him come to shows in the Carolinas because of the fans. We knew he was lying when he said that Dusty said, "Son...." We all know Dusty would have really said, "Thun!" ... These guys are having a nice match early on. Cody even hit a moonsault. ... Then, Christian hit the Killswitch out of nowhere and suddenly any momentum that Cody had after his program with Big Show, which wasn't much, is now gone. Christian is back and he wins the IC Title. It's an amazing booking move where you didn't elevate the winner and you pushed down the loser. Brilliant. Remember that next time you tell someone that none of the young guys are getting over Vince. There is no cure for Vince. ... The match itself was good but the booking was just heinous.

We have a Punk interview. Jesus H Criminy, they can't let Cena vs. Ace close the show. That probably means that they will. ... Yep, Punk just confirmed it. So, a circus match between Cena and a non-wrestler trumps TWO title matches. Jesus H Criminy squared. ... Punk did a good promo talking about how Vince would have never let Bryan headline a PPV years ago but now he is. Then crazy AJ came out and Punk said, "If being with a whack job is wrong, I don't want to be right." OK, he didn't say that, I did. ... Time for the one thing I am really looking forward to on this show.

It is 9:47 so this should get some time. ... The crowd is great early on, rooting for both guys. ... Punk is in complete control early until Bryan played possum on the floor and took control. Good stuff early on. ... I don't have much to say because this has been really good. ... The fans are chanting "This Is Awesome". They are right.
