Loved and Hated about ...

WWE's Battleground.

Pre-show- Damien Sandow vs Dolph Ziggler.   Ziggler got the win after Sandow tweaked his knee. It was a good match, just a bit short for my tastes. Then again, I always find the pre-show matches to be a bit on the short side. A half hour show and the majority of it is recaps of the past week/month and about 9 minutes is a match. I would have at lest 25 minutes of that half hour for a match.

Pay-per-view Proper-

first match-  RVD vs Del Rio for the Heavyweight title. This is a hardcore match. Everyone was talking about how this was designed for RVD, but think about it, that just means Del Rio had 20 years of RVD footage to study. 
Del Rio got the win by a submissions move, and kept his title.  I loved that.

second match- Great Khali/Santino vs Real Americans.  (added since my last post few days ago) And it went to the Real Americans. Thanks to Cesaro. Who, I think was the only decent wrestler in that match.Why isn't Cesaro in title feuds?

third match- Curtis Axel vs R-Truth for the Intercontinental title. I originally thought this was a non-title, seems it's a title match.  Axel won, keeping his title.  Yeah.

fourth match- women's match...I took a bathroom break didn't watch.

fifth match- Rhodes Family vs Shield.  This is the reason I got the ppv.   Have to say, the little kid that molested Dean Ambrose as they were coming to the ring, that had me laughing. I've admitted that I was torn on this, as everyone knows that I love the Shield, but I really wanted to see the Rhodes win. I also really really really want the Shield to turn on Orton and the bosses.
The Rhodes Family got the win. They won their jobs back. Good match. Now, if Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose would just listen to my begging and turn on everyone then I would be really happy. 

The Brad Maddox...always good to see him get some airtime. Someone give him a character on Bold and the Beautiful, please!  Even for like one episode...

sixth match- Kofi Kingston vs Bray Wyatt (added since my last post few days ago) I love the Wyatts.
After doing his impression of Linda Blair in the Exorcist and crawling upside-down, Wyatt got the pin. Seriously, I looked up from my coffee cup and was like what the hoofers was that? when I saw him doing that crawl. Dude, that takes skill.

seventh match-  CM Punk vs Ryback.  Punk got the win with a low blow. Glad Punk got the win, with any means necessary.

main event- Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton for the WWE title.  And no one won.  Big Show came out and punched both guys and the ref and the second ref. 


Not happy with that ending.


Love Ardeth Blood.
