Fantastic!
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
1. In the opening contest Alberto Del Rio b. Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston in a non title match in 10:30.This was a fun match to get the show started as Kingston's high spots are always great to watch. Alberto Del Rio does it again with the cross arm breaker which always looks like a very painful submission. This road for Del Rio has been so entertaining to watch that it should be real exciting to witness him fulfilling his destiny April 3rd at Wrestlemania!! Wouldn't be surprised if we continue to see Del Rio appear on Raw from now till then. Lastly, I also enjoy Del Rio making his opponents submit rather than by pin fall to make them suffer even more.2. Edge defeated Rey Mysterio, Kane, Drew McIntyre, Wade Barrett, and Big Show in an Elimination Chamber match to retain the World Heavyweight Championship in 31:10.The Big Show was named Dolph Ziggler's replacement in the match by Teddy Long. This match did not disappoint as at one point all six men were in the ring before Kane choke slammed The Big Show and McIntyre. Both men who started the match Mysterio and Edge were able to last the entire 31 minutes before Edge speared Mysterio after he jumped off the top rope. WOW this was an excellent match no doubt! Christian moments later returned after Del Rio tried to take out Edge following the match. While a lot of people speculated Christian taking Ziggler's spot instead he triumphantly returned after the match to take down Del Rio.3.Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel (w/Ezekiel Jackson) defeated Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov (w/Tamina) to win the WWE Tag Titles in 5:05.This match ends Kozlov's first run as a champion and now he and Santino are no longer tag champs. I thought they were fun to watch, and lately Santino and Kozlov have been given a lot of time on television. I just hope that this doesn't now bury them again on Raw. As for Slater, Gabriel and Jackson I think they are going to be a huge threat and maybe drive the titles to epic battles between them and the new Nexus on Raw and SD. It was a nice little ride for Santino and Kozlov as the tag team champions. Also, now that I think of it which ever rookie/pro from NXT wins its now Slater and Gabriel from The Corre who they will be chasing for the Championships as just a thought.4. The Miz (w/Alex Riley) defeated Jerry Lawler to retain the WWE Championship in 12:10.This was also a nice match that saw Lawler become seconds away from maybe becoming the champion. I actually thought the best part of this match was listening to Cole's commentary as it really cracked me up. I will say that I am really enjoying Cole's heel antic commentary as I find it extremely funny more than anything else. As for the match Lawler did give it his all and the crowd was fully behind him (even myself) who really wanted to see him get this one. I will say also that I really like Miz's Skull Crushing Finale finisher as it really looks brutal. It will be interesting to see the direction that Lawler goes in choosing to who he wants to face at WrestleMania.5. In the main event John Cena defeated Randy Orton, C.M. Punk, John Morrison, R-Truth, and Sheamus in an Elimination Chamber match in 33:15 to earn the right to challenge for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 27.Cena will face The Miz at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship. I am sure that mostly everyone including myself pretty much knew that Cena was going to win, but this was still a great match like the first one. A couple of great moments in this match involved CM Punk and John Morrison. CM Punk had a unfair advantage because of a "pod malfunction" in which he couldn't get out. Instead of being eliminated (which he really was) he crawled back into the pod and then wound up being the last one to enter the match. As far as Morrison goes he put everything and I mean everything into this one. He put in another amazing moment in which he climbed to the top of the chamber and hit Sheamus with a cross body to eliminate him! (Highly suggest you check this out!!) This was a great PPV that really is worth watching if you happened to miss it.Thanks hope you enjoy! See the full results here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heHW6VN0gjc
