How many bad finishes can fit into one show?,
By KlownArt (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WWE: Cyber Sunday 2007 (DVD)
I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 70 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this DVD you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful. (Note-Each DVD I review has a "Match of the DVD" award somewhere in it.)
WWE Cyber Sunday 2007 Cyber Sunday, previously known as Taboo Tuesday has always been one of my favorite events. It is not one of my favorites because it of the good matches, or lack thereof. Cyber Sunday allows WWE fans to choose stipulations, opponents, and other aspects of a match. You could go online to vote for each of these matches. This year's Cyber Sunday, while fun as usual, is nothing spectacular. There are a few good matches, with a batch of average ones. Cyber Sunday 2007 is an easy pass. Stretcher Match (Other Choices- No Disqualification, Shillelagh on a Pole) Rey Mysterio VS Finlay Cyber Sunday started with a fun match. An opener defines how an entire wrestling event will play out. Events with solid openers, like SummerSlam 2002, have been known to go on and have fantastic shows. This opener is no Angle/Mysterio, but it is a fun encounter. There is some interesting use of the stretcher. Finlay and Mysterio did not just lie on the stretcher like a lifeless corpse; they shifted around and got off quickly. The finish is screwed up due to a camera cord catching the stretchers wheel. Mysterio and Finlay do a good job of covering up and finishing the match. RATING- 7.5/10 At this point in Cyber Sunday, they begin the Diva Halloween Costume Contest. This series of segments that saw our favorite divas dressed up for Halloween. The fans would vote throughout the night to decide who dressed the best. This segment featured Maria dressed as a Cat. Maria had one of the better costumes of the night. Victoria sported a Sumo Wrestler suit here as well. Fans Choose the Opponent (Other Choices- John Morrison, Big Daddy V) ECW Championship CM Punk(c) VS The Miz The fans actually decided to choose The Miz. I was a bit surprised, until I worked through the logic. Morrison had been feuding with Punk for months and they were sick of that battle. Big Daddy V is a slow wrestler that is rarely entertaining. The Miz had a clean slate and that is why he was voted in. Miz and Punk put on a good match. There is nothing groundbreaking, but this is still a solid match. RATING- 6.5/10 After this match, we saw another Diva Costume segment. Mickie James is dressed as an Indian Warrior Princess and Torrie Wilson is dressed as a Washington Redskins football player. Mickie is nice, but Torrie is nothing special. Mr. Kennedy VS Jeff Hardy These two men were choices to face Randy Orton later in the night for the WWE Championship. After losing the poll, Raw GM William Regal put them in a match against each other. This is match carries a Monday Night Raw atmosphere, which is not a good thing considering this is Pay-Per-View. I am a bit surprised by the ending, considering how weak it is. RATING- 6/10 Another Diva Costume appears here. I am sure you are sick of reading about it, but it is not that bad actually viewing these shirt segments. Michelle McCool is dressed as Eve, as in Adam and Eve. McCool does not look that great in my opinion. Melina is dressed as a Vegas Showgirl. Melina is my favorite from this entire series of segments. Fans Choose the Opponent (Other Choices- Great Khali, Mark Henry) United States Championship MVP(c) VS Kane Matt Hardy had been scheduled to face MVP tonight, but Hardy got a sick injury on the previous Smackdown. Kane was the obvious choice, for the simple fact that he can move a bit. These two actually put on an entertaining match. MVP tries to work over the ribs of Kane, which had been injured by on ECW. Kane turns it around and begins working over the ribs of MVP. This match features another weak ending. RATING- 6.5/10 Yes my friends, this is another Diva segment. Layla is dressed up as a bad cop. Kelly Kelly is attempting to be a "gangsta." These are not anything special. Kelly Kelly does not even look like a "gangsta." Fans Choose the Opponent (Other Choices- Jeff Hardy, Mr. Kennedy) WWE Championship Randy Orton(c) VS Shawn Michaels This is the third time Michaels has been in the poll for a World Title, and this is the third time he has one. Orton and Michaels have always been known to clash very well together. This match is no exception. Michaels has been adding more and more submission offence to his arsenal, and it keeps the match interesting. Orton works over the back of Michaels, which includes a devastating back suplex on the guardrail. The ending hurts this match drastically. These two would have a much better match next month at Survivor Series 2007. RATING- 8/10 We can make it through this, I promise. Brooke is dressed as a Jungle girl. Jillian is dressed up as Brittany Spears, complete with babies to drop. J.R. makes a statement complaining about these segments. I am not kidding either. Street Fight (Other Choices- First Blood, Steel Cage) Triple H VS Umaga This is the first year that a Steel Cage match was not chosen by the fans. This works to my delight though as Umaga is a well-proven machine in Street Fight environments. Triple H and Umaga brawl all over the outside of the ring. There are not many weapons used, but the ones that are used are used well. Umaga hits a sick splash through the announce table. The ending to this match is the first good one in three matches. RATING- 8.5/10 Finally, it is over. Todd Grisham announces the winner of the Diva Costume Contest. I personally did not like the winner. She was one of the better costumes, but only one due to her popularity. Special Referee- Stone Cold Steve Austin (Other Choices- Mick Foley, JBL) (Match of the DVD) World Heavyweight Championship Batista(c) VS Undertaker Anyone that did not realize Austin was going to win is a fool. After coming out and stunning JBL and Foley, Austin only functions as a referee. You will sometimes even forget it is Austin playing the referee. This match is great. This is the fourth match in their series. Both men go back and forth before a well-done finish. This match clearly takes Match of the Night for me. RATING- 8.5/10 -Extras- Halloween Costume Diva Battle Royal (Raw, 10/29/07) This match features all the contestants from the Diva Costume contest. There are a few funny moments. Maria has her tale tied to the ropes. Victoria has her Sumo body thrown over the top rope by a couple of the women. This match is nothing special though. RATING- 5/10 JBL Reacts (Home Video Exclusive) JBL tells the world how he feels about not being elected to referee the Cyber Sunday main event. In the process, he says a lot about how stupid people are when electing people. JBL speaks the truth my friends.

I voted, did you,
This review is from: WWE: Cyber Sunday 2007 (DVD)
Today all of the WWE fans vote for the match you want to watch. Tonight is your night.
Stretcher match Rey Mysterio vs Finlay These two put on a great opener. The fought a while before Finlay slided Rey onto the stretcher. Then both of them try to go for the Shelliegh on the pole. Then Rey does a inventive 619 to Finlay . Then he does a terrific planca to Finlay. It was a sort match but it was really good. Overall 7.5/10 CM Punk vs The Mizz ECW Championship match First off what is The Mizz doing here in a championship match. Any way, These guys start off real slow. The Washington crowd didn't like The Mizz at all while saying "you can't wrestle". They do some mat wrestling and reverses. Punk does some very nice chops. Punk tries to do the GTS the first time but The Mizz reversed but Punk reversed again into another GTS to win. Overall 6/10 Mr.Kennedy vs Jeff Hardy Both of them looked pissed off for not winning enough votes. They really didn't get into any good wrestling until the end. Jeff does a nice whisper in the wind to Kennedy but then tries to kick him in the face in the corner but he moved and Hardy landed on the back of his head giving Kennedy the win. Overall 7/10 MVP vs Kane WWE United States Championship match A bonus match that was bad. It was bad because thru out the match both of them worked on each others ribs. Plus it ended in a count out witched sucked. Overall 5/10 Randy Orton vs Shawn Micheals WWE Championship match The crowd is into Shawn in this one. Shawn does a nice planca to Randy to the outside. Plus Randy does a back drop to him on the barricade. Randy works on his back thru out the match. Shawn tries to go for a flying elbow for the first time but missed. Shawn worked on his arm thru the match also. Shawn goes for the elbow the second time and hits it. Then strikes up the band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, goes for it but Randy ducks and low blows him dqing himself. He tries to attack Shawn but he gave him sweet chin music. Overall 8/10 Street Fight Triple H vs Umaga H goes for Umaga thru the entrance way but he counters with a headbutt. It looked like they were going in the back but H spears him thru the computer stand. They fight thru the crowd before the head to the ring. H gets a garbage can and nailed him with it really hard. Umaga does this very nice splash to H while he was on one announce table and he was running on the other tables to splash him. Then H gets his trusty Sledgehammer and hit him with it and pedigreed him to win. Overall 9/10 Special Referee: Stone Cold Steve Austin Batista vs The Undertaker World Heavyweight Championship match I never thought but it happened, Batista beat Undertaker. It was nothing like there wrestlemania match but it was okay. Undertaker does some submissions on Batista and every time Undertaker tries to do something he would counter it. Last time he countered a move he hit two Batista bombs for the win over the Undertaker. Overall 7/10 Its to bad Undertaker lost tonight but this was a great ppv tonight

The "Interactive" PPV Returns,
By
This review is from: WWE: Cyber Sunday 2007 (DVD)
Stretcher Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Finlay - 2 stretcher matches in a year? That must be a record. Eventhough it was a stretcher match, you could tell they had a plan set up no matter what the match was since they're all no disqualification as they used the sheiligh (sp?) on the pole anyways. This was a nice opener as Mysterio was bounced on the stretch various times & used kicks that were straight out of Tajiri's old playbook. Good opener.
ECW Champion CM Punk vs. The Miz - You can tell this was the shock of the night for everyone as very few expected this guy to get picked. You can tell they were off at times such as when Punk did a move off the ropes but Miz wasn't in position to be hit. The match for just average (the dead crowd didn't help either) for the most part but Punk made it a better match than you would expect from someone like Miz. Jeff Hardy vs. Mr. Kennedy - Since these two lost the main event vote (who didn't expect that though), they fought each other in a non-title match. The story behind this match was Kennedy grounding Hardy & not allowing him to do his daredevil offense. Nice match with good storytelling by Kennedy & selling by Hardy. United States Champion MVP vs. Kane - Since Hardy got injured earlier in the week, Kane was picked as the replacement over Great Khali & Mark Henry. This match lasted less than 10 mins. & was mostly MVP working on Kane's rib injury before Kane rebounded & delivered twice the punishment on MVP's ribs with punches, kicks, and power moves to his ribs before MVP eventually got counted out. This match wasn't much at all but I'll give them credit for the storytelling & selling they did in their short time. WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michaels - For WWE not knowing who was going to be picked, they sure did put together that Orton/Michaels history package together pretty quickly. This was a solid encounter as HBK kept working & beating on Orton's left arm thoughout the bout while Orton targeted HBK's back. Just like the previous match, the ending was disappointing but it opened the door for a rematch which nobody should object to after seeing this encounter. Great match. Street Fight Match: Triple H vs. Umaga - I guess people were upset that they didn't get the cage match since you heard some boos after the results were announced. From the start, these two were tossing each other around & just beating each other down...and even went though the set wall within first 3 mins. This wasn't a non-stop weapons fest as the weapons were used to make the moves more impactful like Triple H's DDT onto the chair. Umaga targeted Triple H's ribs & gut at various times thoughtout this high impact non-stop action match. Great street fight. World Champion Batista vs. Undertaker with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special referee - Before this match even begins, we got a fights between J.B.L., Foley, and Austin that end with Austin stunning both men. Once that got out the way, Undertaker brought out the type of performance from Batista that he needed after that godawful series of matches with Khali. Just like their previous trilogy of matches, this was a awesome match from start to finish that had you on the edge. Match of the night, no questions asked. Also throughout the night, each diva would show off their halloween costumes in various segments with the highlight for me being Victoria (and Kenny's) costumes of a former WWE Champion & Hall Of Famer. Also thoughout the night, you would see J.B.L. campaigning for votes whenever he had the chance...complete with a promotion video. DVD extras include a backstage interview with J.B.L. after the event & the divas battle royal from the next night on RAW. Bottom line is that after a bad year for WWE that heavily effected their talent, they started to really rebound here as not only did the main events deliver but the midcard was solid as well from top to bottom with only one exception (MVP/Kane). I recommend this PPV.
