Hi, Turk here. It feels like age's since I've done any reviews...*looks back at blog history*...and no wonder, because it is! I guess that's what work and Modern Warfare 2 does to you! Anyway, these aren't going to be like my normal reviews where I write tons and tons of paragraphs, instead I'll just give a few notes and the match ratings.

The first show I'll be looking at was a new PPV from the E, Bragging Rights, where...well...bragging rights were on the line (at least in a few matches). The opening match was fun and enjoyable, the Divas match was far from the usual train wrecks that we see and the Fatal Four Way was a great little match that finally(!) saw the long overdue heel turn for Batista (dear god he's needed that since 2006!). Then we came to the 14 Man Tag Match which entertained me and I'm so glad that Smackdown won, since they are the true No.1 show no matter what Vince says.

And finally the main event was the Iron Man Match between John Cena and Randy Orton. I'll admit that when this was announced I wasn't excited. I mean, 1 full hour of Cena and Orton. And even though they have had entertaining matches, I was sick to death of seeing them square off. However this was, by far, the best match that these two have ever had and it far surpassed my expectations. It had everything; drama, great counters and psychology, near falls and a tense edge of your seat finale. The only thing that stopped this from being a perfect match was that it did drag a little by the 30 Minute mark and the pyro part for me was ridiculous!

So overall, I really liked this show and everything ranged from decent to brilliant. That's a great show in my book! Ratings:

Match 1: Raw vs Smackdown Bragging Rights Match: John Morrison vs The Miz: 7/10

Match 2: Raw vs Smackdown Divas Bragging Rights Match: Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix and Natalya vs Melina, Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim: 5.5/10

Match 3: World Heavyweight Championship Fatal Four Way Match: Undertaker (c) vs Batista vs Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk: 7.5/10

Match 4: Raw vs Smackdown 14 Man Tag-Team Bragging Rights Match: Team Raw: Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Mark Henry, Kofi Kingston and Jack Swagger vs Team Smackdown: Chris Jericho, Kane, Matt Hardy, R-Truth, David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd and Finlay: 7/10

Match 5: WWE Championship 60 Minute Anything Goes Iron Man Match: John Cena vs Randy Orton (c): 9/10

Match of the Night: Iron Man Match

Worst Match of the Night: Divas Match

Sleeper Match of the Night: Iron Man Match

Overall Event Rating: 7.5/10

The second show...DGUSA Enter the Dragon? Well, I'm just going to let my match ratings tell the story:

Match 1: BxB Hulk vs. Yamato: 8.5/10

Match 2: Fire Ant & Soldier Ant, Jigsaw and Mike Quackenbush vs. Icarus, Gran Akuma, Amasis and Hallowicked: 8.5/10

Match 3: Masato Yoshino vs. Dragon Kid: 8/10

Match 4: The Young Bucks vs. Cima and Susumu Yokosuka: 9.5/10

Match 5: Naruki Doi vs. Shingo: 8.5/10

Match of the Night: The Young Bucks vs. Cima and Susumu Yokosuka

Worst Match of the Night: Yeah right!

Overall Event Rating: 10/10

Yes this was, without question, one of the greatest PPV's I've ever seen. I would put it up there with Wrestlemania 17 and Survivor Series's 1998 and 2002. Go out of your way to see this show!

Hi everyone, Turk here. After the dreadful Submission themed PPV 'Breaking Point', I was hoping that the next PPV would be an improvement over the formally named 'Unforgiven'. Was it? Well, read on to find out.

The first match of the evening was a weird choice to open the show imo as CM Punk defended the World Title against the Undertaker in Hell in a Cell. Many reports came out a week or two after this match suggesting that Punk is now in the doghouse which might have been the reason for this going on first. As for the match itself, it was a decent wrestling match but this easily could've been a normal one-on-one match without the cell since it was hardly used. I also question whether taking the title off Punk and putting it on Taker was the right move. If Punk was being punished, at least put the title on someone who's 100%.

We then came to the IC Title Match between John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler. This was another match which I found weird. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it however for some reason the crowd couldn't care less and the lack of reaction took away from the match in my view. Morrison retained with the Starship Pain. As far as the Divas match goes, the less said the better as I just couldn't get into it. I don't know about anyone else but Mickie has gotten really sloppy lately, she's not the same wrestler she once was imo.

The next match of the PPV was my personal choice for Match of the Night as the Unified Tag Titles were on the line. Coming into the show, I wasn't expecting much from this since it involved the 'talents' of Batista and Big Show. However, what we got was the best tag-team match from the WWE so far this year. An exciting and fast paced match followed and even when Batista or Big Show were in the match, it made sense and especially looked great when Show was in there with Rey. The end to this brilliant match came when Rey went for the West Coast Pop and Show killed him with a right hand.

And then the second Hell in a Cell Match of the evening took place with the WWE Title on the line. Personally, I would put this on the same level as their 'I Quit' Breaking Point Match. It was the exact same Orton/Cena match we've seen before yet at the same time, it was still good and entertaining. Again, I don't know why they had this as HIAC since it was nothing more than a regular match. Orton regains the title thanks to the 'Punt'.

Like the Divas match, I'm not going to waste my time with Truth/McIntyre. The US Title Match can be summed up in one word...disappointing. This was like the IC Title match from earlier in the PPV in that the crowd were dead, and it's a shame since I was looking forward to this. Also, if they were going to put the title on the Miz, why not do it on PPV when it would mean more instead of Raw. Kofi retained the title with the 'Trouble in Paradise' on Swagger.

And finally, we came to the main event and our third Hell in a Cell Match of the PPV, DX vs Legacy. For me, this was the best HIAC Match of the night however that's not saying much since I still think their Summerslam match was their best effort. This was the only match which really used the cell as a weapon and I really liked the story behind it. If there's anything this match showed it was that Shawn Michaels is the greatest seller in the history of Pro Wrestling, I honestly thought at times Shawn was really injured. I also liked the ending with the Sweet Chin Music/Sledgehammer combo. If there's one thing I didn't enjoy in this match it was Michael Cole. I know Cole can be annoying at times but for some reason in this match especially, he was extremely annoying. I don't know why and I can't put my finger on it but he got on my nervous a lot. This didn't take away from the match though as I thought it was a worthy main event.

So overall, this show was definitely an improvement over Breaking Point; however I do have some criticisms. First, the match order was completely wrong. As much as I enjoyed DX/Legacy, it shouldn't have main evented. IMO, the PPV was booked backwards. And secondly, never, ever do this PPV again. The HIAC Matches ranged from decent to very good but three in one night is overkill at its highest. Plus with no blood and violence, this isn't what HIAC is all about. Vince, you get a pass this time since I was interested in what this show would be like. But if this PPV goes ahead next year, I certainly won't be looking forward to it. Ratings:

Hi, Turk here. This is probably going to be the shortest review I've ever done. After a lot of hesitation since I didn't like the look of this show, I did end up watching Breaking Point but due to other commitments and my interest in the WWE product declining as the weeks go by, I've decided to just give my match ratings and focus my efforts on reviewing Hell in a Cell (which I'm hoping will be a superior show and get me interested in the product again) and Dragon Gate USA 'Enter the Dragon' (which WAS a superior show). Here they are:

Match 1: WWE Unified Tag Team Championship Match: Chris Jericho and The Big Show (c) vs MVP and Mark Henry: 5/10

Match 2: WWE United States Championship Match: The Miz vs Kofi Kingston (c): 6/10

Match 4: Singapore Cane Match: Kane vs The Great Khali: 2/10

Match 5: ECW Championship Match: Christian (c) vs William Regal: 6/10

Match 6: WWE Championship 'I Quit' Match: John Cena vs Randy Orton (c): 7.5/10

Match 7: World Heavyweight Championship Submission Match: CM Punk (c) vs Undertaker: 4/10
