The Wolf's Review Returns!!!!!!
[/u][/size][/color]
The Wolf's Review has finally made its way back to SOOL. The Wolf will review one of the biggest events of SOOL's History and that is the 3rd Annual Royal Rumble. Time to review!!!Opening Segment[/color]
Good stuff with Dante opening the show on his own??No wait the returning Lord Chris Seal (Mark Out Moment) Good back and forth banter between the two whilst also hyping up the matches tonight. Oh and ..... "Are you still the same cheeky bastard?" FTW. Good opening segment guys.
Dana White/Stone Cold Ball Selection ;-)[/color]
Nice little promo here from you two. I loved Dana White little sarcasm in there aswell as some good ol classic Stone Cold stuff. Short promo but I love the lines about filling the bottle with lightning, but my fav line of the segement was.... "Alright Austin, you ready to get in their and grab one of those balls?" I giggled like a little schoolgirl because I'm childish like that lol. Good segmen guys.
Swagger Interview[/color]
Ok was a good interview, was a little sort in detail but it was still good with the content that was there. Nice to see Swagger still be cocky as ever thinking he is already the breakout SOOL Superstar. Oh and good to see Vickie Guerrero in the promo aswell. One prob I did have with the promo was the hitting Todd with the mic part. I don't think you had to do that to make anymore impact, just my opinion. Keep it up with the promo'ing.
Jack Swagger vs Brodus Clay[/color]
Ok so we got a write up for the match which I always enjoy as much as recorded matches. The match write up was OK, but it good be a lot better. I like to have a lot more detail in wirte ups which this didn't have. Was a good attempt and basically told what happened but I would of like more detail.
El Generico/Dana Ball Collection[/color]
Ok so the Generic luchadors turn to pick a number. This was actually a humorous segment here. Yeah it was a little short but the comedy was good. Loved that Dana thought it was teh returning Sheamus in a mask. I am sure by the end of the evening Dana will know why Vince signed him up weird or not.
Triple H Interview[/color]
This was a good promo, but there was some grammar porblems in there which made it hard to read at times. But after I re-read it a few times I got it. I liked how you was asked about the title match and the Rumble match. Like how you sparked a little something with CM Punk attacking him verbally and also dishing out some dirt on Anderson to. Also I liked the line about when Taker returns he is stronger and so does Triple H, prob me reading into it but maybe a possible seed planted to face Taker in the future.
CM Punk segment[/color]
Not a word was said, just images and descriptive writing then a few words from the commemtary team. This was a great promo which was short but to the point and builds up the match to a high level without the need for talking. Great stuff and I am stoked about watching the Title vs Title Winner Takes All Match. Good stuff.
Dana/Miz Ball Collection[/color]
Ok this was a good promo here from The Miz and Dana right here. I liked the cockiness of the Miz when getting his number. There was a bit in the promo where you contradicted yourself but t was very Miz-like, the bit where you come in and say that don't care if you get number 1 you would still win, but then you get a bad number and start throwing a bit of tantrum. I don't know if you meant to make it look like that but it was a nice touch.
Wade Barrett Segment[/color]
Short but to the point promo from Wade Barrett here. I am glad to see some (Murphy) has picked him up and carried on from when he was last relevant in SOOL. I liked how you spoke about the past and the little insult from the camerman/interview calling you a jobber. What I didn't like about this promo was the "destroyed Davey Richards in 4 minutes" part. Nice to remind me lol.
Briscoe Brothers Segment[/color]
Ok wasn't the best segment but at least it explained why The Briscoes are not in the match and why they are not in SOOL. I thought it was a ok segment. Oh and a nice little ending by the commentary team. Shame to see the Briscoes go as I thought they would be a good team.
Tag Team Turmoil - Wolfpac vs Rock N Sock[/color]
Damn finally a match to review after a lot of promos. But was avery short write up a very short promo indeed. Was just a simple write up and yeah it shows us who is going on to face the undefeated Rated RKO but I would of liked a vid or half decent write up than a couple of lines explaining who won, but hey nevermind.
Rated RKO vs Wolfpac - Tag Team Championships[/color]
Ok what the hell? So we didn't get to see the match due to technical difficulties??Okay so we get Lord Seal asking the fans what they thought?? Okay this was a nice touch but it any breaks the streak of the longest reigning, SOOL's best tag team Rated RKO, then I want to see this match either in video form or a damn good detailed write up. There is something here that I think is write, is there some contrevesary here??But to the actual content, it was actually nicely wrote but not what I would of expect for a tag team title match.
John Morrison Interview[/color]
I actually thought this was a great inteview right here with the returning John Morrison. Yeah it was short but it didn't need to be too long. Nice mention of where JoMo has been with his injury caused by our IC Champ, Punk. Good stuff and nice confidence going into the rumble.
Jericho/Benoit Segment[/color]
Okay we get a highlight reel at the Royal Rumble (Mark Out Moment). Was a pretty good segment highlighting some of what has been happening in SOOL since Jericho really did anything of importance. Was nice to add Jericho's comments on each of highlights, very heelish. Then what we get Chris Benoit arrives, no words, no actions then lights out both gone WTF?? Was a good promo up until the end, I personally didnt like the end, but I will go with this as I know it is part of the storyline. Good stuff with the Jericho talking.
Stone Cold/Booker T/John Cena Segment[/color]
This was a great segment, so far I would say one of the best of the show. Firstly I enjoyed Stone Cold's opening to the segment talking how we has beat the 2 men he faces tonight for the US title, loved you added some classic Stone Cold moments in with the beer chugging. Next was Booker T, a bit more of a crazy Booker but I enjoyed it how you said you destroyed Stone Cold and how you pretty much delcared you was crazy as shit. Then "The Champ Is Here!!" John Cena comes down and smacks down what Austin said by saying that the US title is more important than the IC because it has been gone for months. Great promo from all of you guys with great build up to the match that is next.
John Cena(c) vs Stone Cold vs Booker T - US Title Match[/color]
Damn that write up was well..... Average, it made a title match look....Wait, Wait hold up Dana White arrives and announces that this is booked to be a Fatal 4Way Match with.......KURT ANGLE!!(Mark Out Moment)
Ok the 4way begins.Isn't the longest most detailed match write up but it was better than the first one. Would of liked it to be longer and detailed being it was a title match but hey ho. Cena retains but damn Angle doesn't seem to wanna leave Cena alone and hits Cena with the US title then spits on it?Damn what is going to happen next between these two?
Kharma promo[/color]
Simple promo with just a sadistic laugh in between as well as the commentary team which now seems to be Dante and Terry Flair which was odd being as it was Seal and Dante earlier. Anyway good build up for the debut of Kharma.
Henry/Dana Ball Selection[/color]
Ok was interesting promo here. Dana has been very buys tonight handing out the ball ;-). Henry walks in and is very aggressive even grabbing Dana. I personally would of been scared but not good ol' Dana he is not. Anyway good stuff Henry talking about what has happened during his SOOL return and I like that your using his current gimmick. Good Stuff.
CM Punk segent[/color]
Very short but once again was I liked the simple message it gave us. Plus saying hey to a former SOOL member in Kornage, is he coming back??Would be cool to see him back.
Mr Anderson(c) vs CM Punk(c) - Winner Takes All! Intercontinental/World Heavyweight Championship Match.[/color]
So we finally here the match that we have been waiting for, who will take all the gold, will it be McMahon's new golden boy or will it be the thorn in McMahon's side, The best in the World CM Punk. Nice to see a match that has been recorded to watch. Punk enters first wiht a long ass entrance building up the suspense. Next the World Champion Mr Anderson with New entrance music and a custom entrance video. Loving the T-shirt with the Wellness Policy #1 Fan then a pic of a joint lol. Great start to the match both very even so far, alot of reversals in this match. Damn Punk just put Anderson through the cage now it spills to the outside. After a little offence from both outside the Cell Punk actually wants Anderson to climb with him to the top of the cell. Things are about to get serious and dangerous. In the words of JR, business is about to pick up. Both getting some attacks on top of the cell, very close to the edge very dangerous sitution but so is that moves being used to slam on top of the cage. All seems ok soo....OMFG HOLY SHIT!!!! Punk Piledrives Anderson through the top of the cage surely its over!! Punk follows close behind and picks Anderson up and hits the GTS now its over....No Anderson no sells and gets up but Punk doesn't give him chance. Anderson escapes. Now its back to the back and forth. Oh Anderson out of nowhere hits the Mic Check looks like Anderson will retain here.No Punk gets up before the count of 2. After more back and forth Anderson introduces a chair and he looking to use it to damage Punk. Anderson puts it on Punk neck and top rope dives on it damn that look sick, nice spot there. But Punk gets up once more and the battle continues. GTS maybe ending here no once again hardly a count there. Now Punk has got a chair and Anderson gets the steps, but Cm Punk knocks Anderson down to the outside with the chair. Finally another GTS is it over......YES Punk wins and finally since 2009 wins the World Heavyweight Championship. The ending segment where the commentary team talk about the win was a great ending to the match and well done to Punk finally winning the World Title. But now onto the rumble.
Royal Rumble Match[/color]
Was a great rumble just as good as last years. Loving the commentary team for this, Zandiggs reactions to some of the stuff that happened in the rumble was great. There was some nice close spots, I am so glad they have improved the rumble this year as last year u got a opponent in a eliminating postion it was pretty much over. But yeah was great close calls in the match and some great spots. I loved the returns of HBK and Sheamus and even Goldberg. Cena doing the FU to Miz to the outside was a great spot. Davey coming in at number 17 I think did a good job of building on what happened before the Rumble with Cena seemed to go after Cena until he got eliminated. Goddamn you Ziggler for Eliminating me. Also El Generico was my surprise of the Rumble, no-one would expect him to do such a good as cleaned house eliminating some of the top dogs. I so hoped when he made it to the final 3 he was going to win but it wasn't to be. So the number #30 did it again like HHH did last year. Looks like #30 is the advantage. Congratz Booker T on moving to headline Wrestlemania III.
Overall[/color]
Overall it was a good PPV, but wasnt great. There was a lot of content with promos in this PPV but I don't think there was enough matches. Well there was but there was only a couple of good matches in there. But the Rumble match and the title match made up for anything else in the show. Congratz again to Booker on winning the Rumble and Congratz to Punk for finally winning the Royal Rumble.

Note: I enjoyed the Punk vs Anderson match and deserves to be joint top with the Rumble match which I also enjoyed. Plus the US title match wasn't great but I couldn't be biased and put my own match could I?The Wolf's Final Commenta[/color]
So that is the Royal Rumble over for another year did it top last year? I am going to say No but last years had a lot mroe matches but this year was still good. The Rumble match was vert exciting to watch and the commentary was a great addition and that WHC/IC match was epic. This concludes "The Wolf's Review" for now, but I will be returning very soon, Goodbye and THE HUNT IS ON!!!!![/div][/font]
Oh and one correction, that WM Fatal 4 way match was at WM 1 not 2…. But still very well done.
