What does everyone think of the results? I didn't stay up to watch it but seems a pretty poor PPV.

Where does the WWE Title feud go from here, John Cena v R Truth?

I've recorded it gonna watch it later. Sounds like an alright PPV. Shame about Cena winning though but we could all see it happening.

Was a decent PPV for a change, i just wish they'd fire Eve already she bugs my happiness.

Surprised me that many people were tipping Miz to pull out the win tonight. I suppose that was well done by the WWE, for them to get anyone to think Cena would lose an I Quit match is good booking.

Orton/Christian stole the show. Miles in front of anything else on the card.

Punk also made it 13 months since his last PPV win.

Orton and Cena win again. BORING.

Its like when stone cold told lance storm he was boring, I wish someone would do it to these two.

Christian used to job to orton again. GARBAGE and BORING.

I haven't seen it yet Coco, but I intend to watch Orton/Christian. It reads like a great match.

In response to the WWE title feud question posed by you Steve, I think it will be Del Rio feuding with Cena now, til Summerslam. At least it is a new one!

The finish to Miz v Cena was absolute rubbish... Miz looks so weak because it is as if he a) couldn't beat Cena alone b) can't beat Cena with 20 mins of continuous offence c) can be beaten by Cena in 2 mins.

Also Chiota seems to be Earl Hebner Mk. II, which is annoying as the little twerp was annoying the first time around.

Looks like Miz v Riley now. Hopefully with a Riley face turn involved as else it will be as difficult to play out as Christian v Orton (face v face). Also, I think that it would have been a great ending for Miz to have actually got away with the tape recording idea...

Speaking of that Christian really should have had an attack on Orton at the end to keep him strong for a possible F4W at Capitol Punishment.

I skipped Lawler v Cole... Bella v Kelly was OK(ish) and I do think that the "twin magic" thing is quite an innovative idea.

The tag team match just goes to show how little the WWE cares about tag matches, the Nexus or Punk - shame.

Del Rio's promo was pointless.

Chavo should have won to continue that feud - as it was it was a glorified squash match.

Jackson looks strong following the IC match so hopefully that one will continue as did Truth in his feud. If they can continue it through the summer to conclude at Summerslam it would be an interesting one.

Also, I think that Barrett should drop the IC belt (not to Jackson) to make that one a non-title feud - then the belt could go to someone like Rhodes so that he can have a place on the next card.

I'm currently watching Smackdown! and then i am going to watch this, it looks like a good PPV to me to be honest.

I see your point but I think people were predicting something screwy. It wasn't like WWE made the fans think he had a chance if it was a fair match. I heard people before the match predicting that they'd play a recording of Cena quitting and hand Miz the win that way. The only other option was a clean win for Cena. As it turned out, they went with both of those!

I think it sounds like a good show, totally dragged down by the main event. There were so many flaws with that match; Cena's presence and push totally undermines everything else on Raw. Orton vs Christian was apparently very strong. If you can't enjoy a match because your favourite lost, I think you're missing out. Although if that stat about Punk is true - 13 months on PPV without a win! - I urge him to get the hell out of the company. He can be the man, more than anyone else in the entire wrestling industry, whose presence in another promotion could be game-changing. It's no guarantee but it's a gamble worth taking. WWE doesn't deserve him.

I'm sure he doesn't complain when his pay packet arrives each month, which is probably a lot fatter than either TNA or ROH could offer him.

Spot on Josh you beat me to it, they were my thoughts when reading it.
The above reasons was THE REASON why I went to bed I figured thats the way it was going to go down and was hoping id read the results pleasantly surprised but wasn't

Josh, they want to keep Sin Cara strong. If he loses to Chavo it pretty much ends any chance of him making it to the top. Whatever you think of Chavo, he is as undercard as it gets. He's been treated as a joke by WWE, and was continually defeated by Hornswoggle. Sin Cara's potential at this stage is unknown to the fans; job him out to Chavo and he's instantly marked down as a midcarder at best.

I also disagree about Christian. I think there is far more intrigue in drawing the angle out. It would be far too early in the feud to turn heel. I also don't think he needed to attack Orton to look strong; by being so competitive in the title match he looked like a worthy challenger. In fact, it sounds like that match did more to establish Christian as a main event title contender than the one last month where he won the title!

That's the big question Demon. Does he want to make a difference or is he happy largely wasting his talents for bigger money? I guess we'll find out soon.

I just think it's easy to see things in black and white - pride vs money. But (I don't know anything about his personal life) I assume he has a family to look after.

What happens if he turns his back on WWE in favour of TNA, and TNA goes down the toilet like WCW did. With Vince's track record he's unlikely to take him back.

I'm sure WWE rate him highly (they have given him the World Title in the past after all), and will give him his due push sometime in the future. But you can't push everyone at once - it's impossible.

i thought cena had won instantly at the start of the match when the bell rang miz said i quit twice in his short promo before riley and him started beating up cena.

Sounds quite good for a change! Is there anywhere I can watch this? Its not on WWEO yet :/

Its on Daily Motion already. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xiulqn_wwe-over-the-limit-2011-22-5-11-part-1-hq_sport

Ahhh cheers!

I wasnt that excited about Over The Limit but I have to say I enjoyed it. Dead right that Orton-Christian stole the show. Also, I'm not sure how WWE can pass that main event off as PG entertainment.. not that I'm complaining!

It was pretty good for what looked like a pretty poor card, thought Christian vs Orton was the stand out match. Christian also showing signs of a predicted heel turn perhaps?. Marked out when Bret came out... i was completely expecting swagger to take Cole out.

The ending to Cena vs Miz was just pathetic in my opinion. beats the rudey poo out of Cena for 30mins who refuses to give up... Miz in the stfu for less than 3secs and he gives up. what a way to bury the former champion. ridiculous!

Although if that stat about Punk is true - 13 months on PPV without a win! - I urge him to get the hell out of the company. He can be the man, more than anyone else in the entire wrestling industry, whose presence in another promotion could be game-changing. It's no guarantee but it's a gamble worth taking. WWE doesn't deserve him.

I'm sure he doesn't complain when his pay packet arrives each month, which is probably a lot fatter than either TNA or ROH could offer him.

That's the big question Demon. Does he want to make a difference or is he happy largely wasting his talents for bigger money? I guess we'll find out soon.

Of course, but he is by some distance the most talented wrestler in WWE. You can't push everyone at once, but you can consistently keep your most talented performer strong, and they have failed to do that. And never will, because he doesn't fit their idea of what a wrestler should be.

They push Cena and Orton and Undertaker and Triple H all the time, those wrestlers are always kept strong, so it is possible. I'm not asking for everyone to be pushed at once, I'm asking for one wrestler to be pushed at once. I'm just saying that unless he is a featured performer on the same level as those four wrestlers, he is wasted.

If he wants to stay for the money, that's his choice. WWE knows how talented he is (hence the three world titles), but refuses to ackowledge just how good he is in their presentation of him (hence the three fluke world title reigns). He could go to TNA and it could bomb because the product is so bad. I'm just saying, and I stick by it, that WWE is wasting most of his talent and he could be a game-changing wrestler for the entire industry if handled correctly, whether that is in WWE, TNA, ROH or somewhere else.

That's why I say it's a gamble - he can be very comfortable earning good money in WWE as an upper midcard role player. But if he's still got the passion and the drive to want to make a difference, I think he has a very difficult decision to make soon.

To take this a step further, HHH & Taker barely take part nowadays so there's even more opportunity for someone to join the Untouchables club.

For a while it was Taker, HHH, Cena, Orton, Rey & Batista with Edge skirting on that level.

Now it's wide open for others to join but instead it seems its closed ranks further to a two man gang.

"Now it's wide open for others to join but instead it seems its closed ranks further to a two man gang."

It's even worse in my eyes now that they both have the top 2 titles
.

Overall it wasn't a bad PPV.

Shocked at truth winning and actually enjoyed the Bella twins "switch"... however every other match was blindingly obvious what the outcome was going to be apart from the Orton / Christian match which was a lot better than I'd have thought.

The sad thing is now, there doesn't look like there will be anyone on Smackdown that can take the title.

As for Raw.. the main event was pathetic. Firstly I thought they were gonna finish it like The Rock vs Mankind (RR 1999) then came the farse.


00:00 Match Starts

Miz and Riley Beating the Hell out of Cena.

21:28 Last Chair Shot
21:43 Cena Quits

Ref Interuption

22:36 Match Restarts

Superman Wakes Up

26:14 Miz Quits


3:38 for Cena to win after just under 22 mins of punishment in effectively a 2 on 1 with no DQ

This emote says it all

Yep the general consensus is spot on! If you havent watched it yet I implore you to watch it through to the end of the Lawler match then turn it off. The Cena match is that bad. Such a shame as they were so close to pulling off quite a solid card if truth be told. (no pun intended). Then they go and ruin it. They really do know how to irritate fans...I mean surely even the kids must of watched that final match and thought...'hmmm how ridiculous'. Not even Superman himself could stand that barrage of punishment.

As has been mentioned already the problem now is that all the work building Miz up has been completely destroyed. And in just 3 minutes...that has got to be a WWE record surely?! Ill go on to predict a Miz/Riley feud which will no doubt end with a Riley victory just to further bury The Miz. I wouldnt have minded but the writers could at least make it more realistic. The fact Cena won doesnt bother me, its purely how they book it. I mean they had nearly 40 minutes to play with. At least have Cena make a comeback and get a good 10 min assualt in before having Miz quit. Stuff like this is what is stopping people enjoying Cena. I know his gimmick doesnt appeal to a lot of the adult audience but i think id be right in saying it is the extreme to which they have taken the gimmick which annoys us the most. But to be honest Vince probably knows this so just plays on it more to pi** the likes of me off even more.

I dont particularly care who they throw in the main event picture with him now, could be Eva, Del Rio..heck the whole of the X-Men team, we know that Cena will be retaining it month on month up until at least the Royal Rumble next year. I will now not be watching anything Cena related unless they pull a huge rabbit in fact a whole hoard of the buggers out of hat!!

Anyway to end on a pleasant note, well done to Christian and Orton for putting on their match. For me they showed why you can drag this feud on a little longer than most. They could have 4-5 matches and I wouldnt get bored as they know how to tell a story & entertain. Add to that the fact they are both able to put something new into the match each time. Ive noticed Orton doesnt have many fans when it comes to his wrestling ability but I actually feel it is hugely understated & when needs be he can add to his armoury. Looking forward to seeing this one play out over the next couple of months!! Well assuming they dont just drop the ball...which given the fans response throughout the match (I was surprised at how 50/50 the split was) even the writers & Vince cant be as stupid to drop something this hot & over!!

Just finished watching the show and I have to agree with most views on here. Was a pretty solid card bar the main event. Does Cena not understand this is the reason that everyone hates him?

Only other complaints I have is obviously Punk losing again and I would have liked Chavo to have beaten Sin Cara cheaply to get him involved in some form of feud.

Agreed. All too often the IWC is in a rage because a heel has lost, branding it as 'poor/illogical booking'.

Got in from college and watched it

Was very good in my view but yeah the outcome was obvious.

Orton impressed me last night. I was getting really bored with him on raw. Hopefully his feud with Christian will go on for a couple more matches,can see one if them turning heel.

Unless its sheamus v Orton and Christian v Henry!

Christian used to job to orton again. GARBAGE and BORING.

if you think that was a job then you need to educate yourself big time

I'm also glad Christian didn't turn heel, I'd make the WHC match at Capitol Punishment a fatal 4 way match and have Christian have the match won only for Barrett to sneak attack and pin Orton/Henry/Rhodes/Sheamus/Kingston or whoever is in the match and I'd then have Orton put in the MitB match and claim if he wins he will cash it in after the WHC match with Christian/Barrett so there would be no surprises .

Christian would get the better of Barrett at MitB to win the title again before Orton would be almost remorseful as he makes easy meat of regaining the World Title almost immediately and this would lead into SummerSlam where Christian would finally beat Orton, I think the crowd would burst for this

Just finished watching I thought it was a decent pay-per-view until the main event which was unbelievably bad finish.

Truth had a nice win which was a surprise but for once perfectly logical, he has some good momentum at the minute & I hope the WWE keeps his pushing going.

I thought Sin Cara vs Chavo was full of great spots. Chavo was the perfect opponent to continue the delevopment of Sin Cara, decent solid worker who's a capable high flyer. How can people say Chavo should have won? No matter how much you think he's been misused in the past he's basically a glorified jobber these days & shouldn't be beating up & coming talent.

Orton vs Christian completely stolen the show. Brilliant chemistry between the two. Whilst I'm a big Christian fan & thought a 2 day run with the belt was an insult I'm really intrigued to see where they go with the Christian character from here

Cole vs Lawler. Passable comedy match. Didn't think the payoff of Cole getting his comupance was what it could of been. Would of rather seen Swagger in the Bret Hart role (& he was my favourite wrestler growing up), it did nothing fir Hart

Cena vs Miz. Finish was absolutely shambolic but I thought the match itself was fairly enjoyable with the Miz dominating, at one point I thought Cena was gonna loss especially when the teased the idea Josh mentioned last week about a fan forcing Cena to quit. The screwy finish was good with nice use of Rileys mobile. The bout should of ended there. What happened next was the equivalent of Man Utd scoring five goals in injury time to beat Barcelona 5-4. How can anyone be considered a credible threat to Cena when he can demolish 2 men in 2 minutes after taken a beating for a good twenty minutes???

This for me is the best match Orton had since he turned face, Christian is a main eventer, whether they push him to that level is another thing but for me he has proven he belongs at that level

Brady - I think that people (me included) said that Chavo should have won in a cheap fashion to continue the feud a bit longer as Sin Cara needs to have another PPV or two against Chavo before starting another programme. I am not sure if it can happen now.

I don't think it was logical or remotely likely that Chavo would win nor do I believe he should have, Chavo has done nothing for years, I don't think he needs a win to keep the feud going, Chavo is experianced enough to know how to get over without needing a win against someone who DOES need wins

Josh - Your never gonna convince me otherwise - Its completely backward booking

I like Chavo but he's been booked in such an unconvincing fashion that it would damage Sin Cara too much if he lost to him even with a screw finish. I mean would you book Hornswoggle to go over Sin Cara.

Totally agree, Sin Cara is moving up, Chavo is more of a stepping stone than a feud, you don't throw away PPV losses to a stepping stone

Hummmm.... OK, willing to go with you on the Chavo issue as long as the WWE find a way to continue this feud for another month. I still think it will do Sin Cara good to work more with Chavo.

I enjoyed the PPV. Some good matches, intriguing storylines developed (Truth's push, Christian's frustrations) and a good swerve with Bret hart appearing. IMO the I Quit Match shouldn't have been last, Orton Christian should have closed the show. I don't think the Miz should have quit either, would have prefered if Cena had beaten him until he became unconcious, to keep him looking strong.

Regarding Sin Cara, I don't think he is going to get the monster push to world title level I first thought. Although some of the moves he can do are mind boggling, he just doesn't look like he belongs in a WWE ring, I think it is charisma he lacks. And the other problem is with high flyers typically having one dimensional matches, it becomes hard for them to keep the crowd entertained throughout their matches, with the exceptions of the spots scattered through them. Rey Rey is an example of this.

Josh I totally agree, its great to see Chavo involved in something meaningful

I took the day off yesterday to watch the PPV and the ending actually squashed my enjoyment of the event.

As has been said umpteen times for Cena to receive such a non-PG beating for 20 minutes, then beat the Miz in 3 minutes is awful.

Happy to see Bret Hart back, even just to help out Lawler, but surprised Swagger wasn't there.

Haven't seen last night's Raw yet, so hopefully some of these storylines continue and have a decent explanation.

I agree with you there, NG. Its what I expected of Cena though; it just makes Miz look poor. I did enjoy the 20 minute beating though!!

I enjoyed the PPV overall (aside from the ending). Randy and Christian were the match of the night; that was great.
