A Year Of Cells, Submissions, Tables, Ladders, Chairs, Championships, And More
The year long period between WrestleMania 25 & 26 was definately one of the more interesting periods in WWE history when it came to their pay-per-view presentation as various changes were made with some of the more traditional shows of the past. Unforgiven & No Mercy & Cyber Sunday & Armageddon were dropped in favor of new shows based around either a new concept ("Bragging Rights" brand warfare), gimmick matches (Hell In A Cell & T.L.C.), or a stipulation ("Breaking Point" matches being based on submission). Various matches happened throughout the year with some ranging from either a standout performance to a memorable classic enounter and WWE decided to select a few of these matches & put it on this 3 disc set to showcase what they were were the "best of the best" during this time period.
Matches Include:
Last Man Standing Match: World Champion John Cena vs. Edge - Anyone who's seen their previous encounters knows that Edge is the one guy who can bring out the best...
Great Concept Executed Well
As much as I'm a believer in buying complete PPVs, this "Best PPV Matches of the Year" concept is a great alternative for fans who don't care about a start-to-finish experience. Some fans just want to get to the good action.
If you're not into those 3-hour broadcasts, then this set should be for you.
Bear in mind that I'm giving my personal reactions to the matches, and haven't watched the DVD release yet. Also, the Blu-Ray version is going to add a couple bonus matches, most of them worth your time.
BACKLASH - April 2009
This PPV had 6 matches, most of them worthy of being on this DVD set. The two that will be included are:
1) ECW Championship Match between Jack Swagger and Christian
2) John Cena and Edge conclude their on-and-off rivalry in a Last Man Standing Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
The ECW Title contest was my personal favorite from the entire card, because Swagger and Christian just went back and forth with...
