For a good few months, RAW had produced some really entertaining ppvs. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. Cyber Sunday is well....quite dull. Most of the matches are too short, and the main event had one of the worst endings I have ever seen. That said there were a couple of good matches, however it couldn't save this event from being one of the worst ppvs of the year (The Great American Bash taking that title). Anyway here are the results from this rather forgettable interactive ppv:
Match 1:Umaga vs. Kane, or Chris Benoit, or Sandman. Kane wins with 50% of the vote. Probably on par with their match at Unforgiven. A typical big man match, quite slow and hard hitting. I thought Kane might have been able to beat the Samoan bulldozer, however, he received two Samoan spikes and Umaga got the pin. Winner: Umaga
Match 2:Cryme Tyme vs. The Highlanders vs. Viscera and Charlie Hass vs. Cade and Murdoch. This was a Texas tornado tag match. It was pure chaos, which is probably why the fans voted for that stipulation. It was way too short though. Cryme Tyme won when the covered the Highlanders. Winners:Cryme Tyme
Match 3:Intercontinental Title Match:Jeff Hardy vs. Carlito, or Shelton Benjamin, or Johnny Nitro. Carlito won with 60% of the vote. This was quite entertaining. Plenty of action towards the end of this one. The only reason to watch this match is because of the exciting finish. The beginning and the middle of this match is really quite boring because Carlito keeps putting Hardy in the same bear hug submission hold. Hardy wins to retain with the swanton bomb. Winner and still champion:Jeff Hardy
Match 4:DX vs. Edge and Randy Orton. Special guest referee:Eric Bischoff, or Johnathon Coachman, or Vince McMahon. Bischoff won with 60% of the vote. Probably the best match of the night, but not a classic. Not being a fan of tag team matches, I was quite surprised that I enjoyed this. Bischoff had the same deliberate count for both teams, that soon changed after Edge accidentally speared him. Anyway a new referee came to the ring when the Game was covering Orton, after Orton received a huge Sweet Chin Music from Michaels, only to be pulled out of the ring by Bischoff. Bischoff then knocked the ref to the floor. Michaels chased Bischoff, only to be hit in the face with a chair by Edge. Orton hit a huge RKO on HHH on to the steel chair. Orton covered the Game for the win. Winners:Edge and Randy Orton
Match 5:Womens Title Match:Lita vs. Mickie James.Match stipulation:No Holds Barred, or Diva Lumberjacks, or Submission. Diva Lumberjacks won with around 45% of the vote. This match was just plain bad and boring. Maybe if the match were longer, it might have gotten better....but it didn't. Lita won when Victoria interfered, and hit Mickie with an impaler ddt. Winner and new champion:Lita
Match 6:World Tag Team Title Match:The Sprit Squad vs. Ric Flair and Rowdy Roddy Piper, or Seargeant Slaughter, or Dusty Rhodes. Piper won with 60% of the vote. Well.....this was a dull, dull, dull tag team match. Piper looks like he should have lost some weight before the match. He has got the biggest gut I have ever seen. Anyway Flair and Piper won the titles, which was a bit of a shock. Really crap match though. Winners and new champions:Flair and Piper
Match 7:Champion of Champions Match:Big Show vs. King Booker vs. John Cena. Title on the line:World Heavyweight Championship won by 60% of the vote. This match could have been so much better than it was. It was over hyped in my opinion. Show dominated both men, until he got knocked out when his head smashed into the steel steps. I am not a Cena fan, but I was still hoping he'd win for RAW. He didn't. After giving Queen Sharmel an FU, Cena locked in the crappy STF-U on the King. It looked like the King would tap, until the unthinkable happened. Keven Federline (a.k.a Mr Britney Spears), yes you heard me right, K FED screwed Cena when he hit him over the kidneys with the World Championship. Cena chased K FED out of the ring, only for the King to nail Cena with the title belt, and get the pin for the win. Worst ending to a match I have ever seen. Winner and the champion of champions:King Booker.
If you haven't seen Cyber Sunday then I suggest that you don't waste your time. This will be forgotten by this time next year. The matches were too short in some cases, in other cases, the matches were just really bad. The rubbish ending just capped this event off. They may have changed the name from Taboo Tuesday to Cyber Sunday, but that didn't help this event from becoming another forgetful ppv. Lets just hope they recover from this with a strong Survior Series.....hopefully.
