1) IC Title Match - 6.5/10 - nothing new here we've seen it all before, some nice spots, the headbutts at the end were silly yet fun, I'm a new Daniel Bryan Fan

2) Randy Orton vs Rollins - Great wrestling match, with the best RKO of all time surely - 8/10

3) Sting vs HHH - fucking hell where do I begin. Firstly let's look back at Sting's infamous video where he explained his reasons for never joining WWE 14 years later he finally arrives to an amazing reception, sting makes it clear that he's not here to fight for wcw, as in his own words, "that would be ridiculous" he's here to fight for justice and take HHH down. I mark out like crazy and expect sting to enjoy a clean win, and have his ultimate WM moment. He's a legend of the business, and arguably the most professional wrestler to ever set foot inside in a wrestling promotion alongside the undertaker, there can be no doubts, its 1 match, sting's is getting his win here, he'll retire, or have 1 last match against taker next year. Bliss! sure there's a strong possibility his in ring work would be quite bad, but who cares? look at Rock vs Hogan, I was fully expecting a match of this caliber.

boy oh boy, what the fuck? - firstly, entrances, sting's entrance was poor, what is the reason for having Japanese musicians as part of his entrance, that made no sense. HHH entrance was both epic and cheesy, the cynical side of me couldnt help but think this was a dig at Sting's robocop angle.

Sting was in excellent shape, his in ring work exceeded my expectations, by the time the "you've still got it" chants were ripping and roaring throughout the stadium, I was probably in the happiest state of existence ever known to man.

The match itself was great. DX came out, which was amazing, and made fine sense, sure sting isnt here for another WCW vs WWE battle, but I expect nothing less from a bitter HHH and DX, after all they weren't the most dominant faction in wrestling, the NWO were. Then the impossible happens, the NWO come out, holy shit! at this point the match was the ultimate spectacle, probably the finest spectacle in pro wrestling history, the match then starts to fuck with your head like no other wrestling match ever, Sting was the NWO's number one enemy, why are they here? do they hate HHH and DX more than Sting? Have the NWO grown up? Are they acknowledging that sting was the perfect NWO nemesis who was therefore essential to their success? Surely they werent' there to support WCW? They hated WCW, and attempted to rebrand all WCW programming, events, and title belts as "NWO". This was a sheer headfuck, call it overbooking or a clusterfuck or whatever, it stirred the emotions and made you question life itself.

The finish, I thought sting was done, sting getting hit with the sweet chin music was epic, at this moment, I was praying Goldberg or DDP would come out to make the ultimate save, but that never happened.

Triple H was getting the win, but sting somehow kicks out of the pedigree, there were so many great moments, sting snapping HHH's hammer in half with his bat was just unbelivable. Sting then loses the match, which is the ultimate dissapointment for me on a personal level, but at that moment, everything was still 5 stars. Next up is delusional, vince mcmahon, style booking. Sting gets buried, and is made to look like a nobody, as he shakes HHH's hand, wtf? I can't even come up with any desperate logic to justify that, just why? this single handedly stopped the match from being a 5 star match. The match is finished, and done with, let's move on right.... NO! HHH then comes out in a suit looking completely healthy and fine with a huge smirk on his face, and absolutely buries sting, I love a good shoot, and I love a worked shoot, but this was insulting and highly disrespectful on so many levels. The event went from being a 5 star match, to a 4 star match because of the hand shake, to 3.5 star match because of HHH burying sting. Such a massive epic shame.

I doubt sting can come back and have his revenge effectively even if he wanted to, as sting is currently paper thin, he's been made to look like a fool and basically a nobody in the eyes of WWE. Just terrible. For shock value, this match is 10/10.

CENA VS RUSEV - YAWN 6/10

Taker VS Bray - 7/10 - was good to see taker in excellent healthy shape, a great moment when bray was doing his spider walk, and taker did his dead man rising thing.

Brock vs reigns - loved the squash style match, brock is just awesome, the rollins surprise was complete ruined, as the commentators ruined it by mentioning it during the rollins vs orton match, seriously wtf?

which leads me to one last point, the commentary in general. It is absolutely shockingly dreadful. Their commentary was completely disgusting during the sting match, they were so anti sting, it was unbelievable, they mocked his in ring abolity, his personality, they destroyed starrcade and WCW in general. It was just bizzare.

How can a company be bitter about another company who beat them for two years, but who actually made them a better company? who can actually be this delusional? vince? hhh? or some other idiot in the background? I'd like to know who.

I also absolutely loved when Big Sexy trolled the entire world, by holding onto his quad when he fell to the ground. It was a great subtle moment.
