Rey Mysterio vs Kane in a No Holds Barred Match: Kane dominates a little but Rey reverses the Choke Slam into his 6:19 splash move to win the match.

Evan Bourne vs Matt Hardy: This was one of the best matches of the night with many reversals and near pin falls. End comes when Evan reverses the Twist of Fate into a pin, Hardy kicks out and hits the Twist of Fate right after for the win.

Santino vs Honkey Tonk Man: The 3 Legends look like they got in shape for the match but it was still a waste. Santino is entertaining but still no way should he have a long title reign. It was hardly a mtch because Beth Phoenix tripped Honkey Tonk not long into the match to cause a DQ. Then Piper and Goldust came out to get a piece of Santino. Meanwhile C.M Punk didn't even have a match and the Shelton Benjaman match didn't even air on the PPV! Benjaman beat R. Truth though with his finisher.

Cryme Time vs John Morrison and The MiZ: That's right, fans actually voted for this over a tag team title match. The same thing happened that has always happens when the 2 teams have wrestled, Miz and Morrison won.

Big Show vs Undertaker in a Last Man Standing Match: Big Show dominated a lot of the match and could have easily have won if the ref didn't pause in between each number while counting. One time it was clear that Taker didn't even make the count but the ref stood over him waiting for him to fully stand. End comes when Taker knocks out Show with that choke hold of his to win the match.

Hardy vs HHH: Hardy really deserves to be champ. He took HHH to the limit once again and this was even a better match than their last. I think HHH is just on Smackdown though so he can beat Undertaker at WM. Beating Flair's title reign record and ending Taker's streak at WM would be impressive he wasn't just pushing himself. Anyway end comes when HHH stops Hardy from going high risk and hits the Pedigree.

Batista vs Jericho with Stone Cold as the ref: This match wasn't a worthy main event to an otherwise really good ppv. Jericho jobbed on Raw the last few weeks, so I was really hoping he'd win this match. He took out Batista's legs a lot, hit him with the belt and JBL even made a run in but boring Batista still won.

It's just because dumb Cena is coming back so they can wrestle again. Jericho deserved a longer reign though. If he was going to lose it, should have been to HBK. He hasn't even been champ that many times. No way, should guys like Batista and Cena be champ more than HBK. Hell I wish that even C.M punk was in this match over Batista, he hasn't even had a match at a PPV 3 in a row. If anyone was going to be a new champ tonight, should have been someone with actual talent, like Bourne or Jeff Hardy.

I liked this cyber sunday much better than the '06 and '07 editions. The caliber of the matches on this card were better than the previous two. Thanks for reading!

No Holds Barred
Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
The fans picked the no holds barred stipulation over falls count anywhere and 2/3 falls. This was a step up from their no mercy match. This match wasn't that brutal, but it had it's moments. Some really nice counters by rey in this one, and some really powerful counters by kane. This match delivered some pretty nice near falls and some nice weapon use. Good choice for the opener. Match Rating:3.5/5

ECW Championship
Matt Hardy vs. Evan Bourne
Bourne was picked to face hardy over finlay and mark henry. This is proboly one of the best ecw title matches of the year. Lots of great fast paced action and great highflying moves in this one. These two brought alot of exciting moves and they really worked hard to make this match good, and it proved sucessful. Hardy barely retains his ecw title in this one, but a great showing by bourne. Match Rating:4.5/5

Cryme Tyme vs. Miz and Morrison
The fans really should have picked the world tag team championship match over this. Besides that, these tag teams looked pretty solid against each other. Some nice double teaming in this one by both cryme tyme and miz and morrison. Not a great tag team match, but it was good. Match Rating:3.5/5

Intercontinental Championship
Santino Marella vs. Honky Tonk Man
This was really just more like a comedy segment. The only thing this match is good for is seeing honky tonk man and piper. Match Rating:0.5/5 (Generous)

Last Man Standing
Undertaker vs. Big Show
Here is where cyber sunday picks up again. I liked this match more than thier no mercy match because of the last man standing stipulation. The match started out with some nice fist shots by both men. Lots of nice weapon use in this one including some pretty clever moves with the chair. Also a cool announce table spot in here. The ref screwed up on a couple of 10 counts, but besides that the match was really good. Taker wins and gets some revenge on show. Match Rating:4.5/5

WWE Championship
Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy
Once again these two put on a great match, but i didn't enjoy this as much as their no mercy match earlier in the month. Once agian these guys wrestled well against each other. Lots of great submissions and good offensive moves in this one. The ending was also pretty clever, with triple h hitting hardy on the top turnbuckle and then pulling him down, giving him a pedigree to win. Solid wwe title match here and defiently one of the best matches of the night. Match Rating:4.5/5

World Heavyweight Championship (Special Ref:Stone Cold)
Chris Jericho vs. Batista
This was a pretty good world title match, but most people saw it coming when batista won. Jericho tried to work on batista's leg/knee area to slow him down, but batista still got some pretty powerful offense in this match. Stone cold added so much more to this match and there are even appearences from orton and michaels. Nice moment in this match where stone cold gives orton a stunner. This did feel like a true main event match and in the end batista won his 4th world title. Match Rating:4/5

Good cyber sunday and this is filled with solid matches.

WWE CYBER SUNDAY 2008 is a PPV that never becomes as great as it could've been, but it's a good one that's worth your time & money. This is the fifth year that WWE has produced an "interactive PPV"; I usually judge these events by how much does it feel like the fans actually had control over the night's turn-of-events. If the Phoenix crowd's constant enthusiasm is any indication, then the WWE must've done something right:

_____________________________________________

1) No Holds Barred
Rey Mysterio v. Kane
---It's a good thing this one was booked as the opener, because it feels very similar to the other matches these two have had in the past few months. Unfortunately, this was one of the weaker Kane/Mysterio outings. The main problem is that it doesn't feel like a No Holds Barred Match! Instead, I felt like I was watching a typical "underdog-Rey" match, with a few neat weapon spots toward the end. It's not terrible, and does feature a few neat exchanges & counters. But if it weren't for the Phoenix crowd's participation, I think I'd be even harsher.
"6.0 / 10"
_____________________________________________

***Throughout the evening, the Divas cut promos for their Halloween Contest. Frankly, this is a half-good-half-bad deal. Eight of the Divas look gorgeous, in spite of their embarassing promos. And the other eight deserve bonus paychecks for looking as ridiculous as they did.***
_____________________________________________

2) ECW Championship
Matt Hardy (champion) v. Evan Bourne
---First off, big props to the WWE Universe for selecting the increasingly-exciting Bourne as the challenger. Finlay would've been a worthy alternative, and hopefully WWE will notice that despite all attempts, Mark Henry will not cut it for much longer. Bourne takes some stiff punches, and even harder slams. But his variety of pinfalls attempts and takedowns give Hardy a run for his money. What I noticed most was that the wrestlers worked their tails off to make each look good; you can see the hard work from start to finish. If there's any doubt that Matt Hardy & Evan Bourne are the stars of the new ECW, then this will put out doubts to rest. I don't think this is quite the Match-of-the-Year candidate most have made it out to be, but it's damn close, and certainly the best contest from CYBER SUNDAY 2008. So sit back, I know you'll enjoy the ride.
"8.0 / 10"
_____________________________________________

3) Cryme Tyme v. John Morrison & The Miz
---Fans voted for this more than a World Tag Team Titles Match? Hmm...that's a bit sad. My basic reaction to this match was, "What happened?" I love Morrison & Miz, and Cryme Tyme are a combo with unusual offense. And the crowd loves to hate and love (respectively) both of these teams. But these four guys were just off. Even though the crowd made a ton of noise for Cryme Tyme, it felt like a "your-turn-my-turn" tag match. No psychology, and everything feels like a hot tag. Like the opener, a passable match, but I think these guys could've done much better.
"6.0 / 10"
_____________________________________________

4) Intercontinental Championship
Santino Marella (champion) v. The Honky-Tonk Man
---I was shocked that even though Santino's IC Title run basically was to challenge Honky-Tonk Man's 15-month record as IC champ, Roddy Piper and Goldust almost got an equal percentage of votes. Even more surprising was that Honky-Tonk Man moved quite well for his age. Basic & old-school, more more believable than most retired legends' performances. Sadly, after about 7 minutes of promos & smack-talk & comedy, the match was about 2 minutes tops. And the aftermath involving all three potential challengers was a typical crowd-pleasing reunion. Oh well, maybe this was just for fans of WWE's comedy.
"4.5 / 10"
_____________________________________________

5) Last Man Standing Match
The Undertaker v. Big Show
---I enjoyed this about as much as I have with most of the matches between these two wrestlers. I'm satisfied, but not blown away. The boxing-style slugfests between these two are very entertaining, and Big Show has been a solid in-ring performer since he returned earlier this year. There are a couple of neat spots involving steel chairs, and the match is paced very well, as both men get to control the match for just the right amount of time. It's too bad that this rivalry has been WAY overpushed, and Vickie Guerrero desperately needs to be removed from TV. Another problem is that referee Charles Robinson makes a few slower counts because (apperantly) Undertaker took too long to get up. Also, a couple of the match's key spots --- mainly an announcer table spot --- looked pretty weak. Overall, the crowd (again) really got into this match, and I still enjoyed myself in spite of my nitpicks.
One more thing:
I'm VERY disappointed that the WWE edited out Vickie Guerrero's embarassing blooper, where she misread the fans' votes and announced an "I Quit" Match, and had to do a quick do-over. Go to YouTube, and look up "Botchamania 57" to see it.
"6.5 / 10"

***Well, it's time to find out which of the 16 Divas won the Halloween Contest, as voted by the WWE fans. Mickie James' dressup as Lara Croft is my favorite too. Somehow, all the ladies end up in a random catfight, with the babyfaces survivng the scuffle. I'm always amazed that these random Divas skirmishes end up with the ladies SMILING after they've just been in a "FIGHT". Yeah...I'm thinking about this way too much.***
_____________________________________________

6) WWE Championship
Triple H (champion) v. Jeff Hardy
---Whoa! This vote should indicate that Vladimir Kozlov's impressive physique hasn't gotten over with fans, yet. Then again, Jeff Hardy's near-successes in championship matches have been pushed for almost a year. As always, these two opponents have good chemistry, and tell compelling stories with their in-ring work. I always look for new counters between longtime rivals, and I saw a few nice exchanges from both HHH & Jeff. Like the ECW Title Match, neither man came out a loser when all was said & done. I still prefer the NO MERCY matchup, because it felt more like either man could've won the match. But this SMACKDOWN main event still made me believe that Jeff Hardy might...just might...come out on top. This match was so good, that I ignored my head, and was able to enjoy just like everybody else will.
"7.5 / 10"
_____________________________________________

7) World Heavyweight Championship
Guest Referee - 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
Chris Jericho (champion) v. Batista
---Boy, I was really worried about this one. I already knew about the run-ins (more on those later), but also because of how this match began. Jericho got the advantage that heels usually don't get until about halfway through a match. After some initial cowardice from Y2J, he quickly went to work on Batista's leg, and was dominant for a good length of time. The wrestling contest itself is solid, especially because Batista's improved a lot in the last year or two. The physical match is better than most Jericho/Batista encounters (my favorite was actually on RAW back in June 2008). But the real highlights are the interference. I won't give away what happens when, but both Batista and Jericho get some assistance, and the atmosphere is chaotic. Just when you think a run-in is going to end the main event, the downed opponent kicks out. I usually don't like these kinds of finishes, but this time it worked so well. Plus, it's always nice to see Steve Austin once in a while. He's still the most popular performer in pro wrestling history - Period.
"8.0 / 10"
_____________________________________________

The DVD also includes the pre-show match that was shown on WWE.COM. Shelton Benjamin defended the United States Championship against R-Truth (the fans' selected opponent). I think the match itself is about 6 minutes, and isn't anything special. R-Truth's offense is NOT innovative, and starting to really bore me. Shelton is a marvelous athlete, who deserves better competition. Overall, I give the bonus match:
"6.0 / 10"
_____________________________________________

CYBER SUNDAY 2008 doesn't meet its full potential, but it gets the job done. The three brands' championship materials were different, and easily the best parts of the PPV. They are the reason to buy the DVD. The rest of the card is mildly entertaining. I didn't vote this year because the WWE charged $0.99 for cellphone votes, so maybe those who paid to vote will get into this more than I did. After all, the Phoenix crowd paid even more money for tickets, and definitely felt like they got their money's worth.

I recommend buying CYBER SUNDAY 2008. It's not great, but it's good.

I had low expectations for this show but it turned out to be pretty good. There was nothing on this show that really stands out and makes it worth purchasing, but there was not much to complain about as far as the matches were concerned (the outcomes are another story). Overall this was a pretty enjoyable show, and despite being a throwaway ppv leading up to Survivor Series this is a pretty solid effort from WWE. Matches are rated out of 5 stars (*****).

1. No Holds Barred Match:
Rey Mysterio vs. Kane

I was a little suprised that this was given the nod as an opener, but this match doesn't dissapoint. We all know this fued has been horrible and hopefully it ends soon, but there were some nice spots and some exciting near falls at the end. Pretty enjoyable match. **1/2

2. ECW Championship Match:
Matt Hardy (c) vs. Evan Bourne

This was a very enjoyable match with some good psychology as Matt Hardy worked over Bourne's lower back and ribs. Nice mix of high risk action as well, and I believe these two meshed exceptionally. Some very exciting near falls at the end teasing a possible title change, but in the end Hardy comes out on top. Definately hope to see more of this in the future, and maybe a little more time to work, but I can't say enough about how talented Evan Bourne is. ***1/4

3. John Morrison & the Miz vs. Cryme Tyme (JTG & Shad)

I was very surprised and disappointed that fans opted to vote for this instead of actually having a tag team championship match on a ppv, which to me would also have been a better match (that being Priceless vs. CM Punk and Kofi Kingston). This is certainly not a bad match, but it is very average and seemed pointless, as there was really nothing on the line. Worth at least a look, but this is pretty much a Raw match. **1/4

4. Intercontinental Championship Match:
Santino Marella (c) vs. The Honky Tonk Man

This was an absolutely shockingly poor match. I understand that this was meant to be comedy, but this was just a poor, poor match, made worse by the DQ ending. This is not a blessing for fans who actually want to see the Intercontinental title defended on ppv. DUD

5. Last Man Standing Match:
Big Show vs. the Undertaker

This was the tale of two halves. The first half, aside from a couple nice spots, was very, very boring. However, the second half was very good, with some very nice spots including a chokeslam through the ECW announce table, some nice DDTs, powerful chair shots, and several 8 and 9 counts that were exciting. It must be said, however, that referee Charles Robinson was telegraphing these counts and the finish to the match rather obviously at times, as he was clearly slow counting and waiting for the Undertaker to get up when he could have easily counted him out. If you watch you'll see what I mean. Anyway, this was quite an enjoyable and believable slugfest of a match that I wound up enjoying much more than I thought I would. ***

6. Divas Halloween Costume Contest

Don't Care.

7. WWE Championship Match:
Triple H (c) vs. Jeff Hardy

These two had another excellent match, but it felt like it was missing something compared to their previous encounter at No Mercy. It also must be said that this was practically the same match as their contest at No Mercy, but like I said this still felt like it was missing something. Despite these two rather minor complaints, this was a really good match. ***3/4

8. World Heavyweight Championship Match:
Chris Jericho (c) vs. Batista w/ Guest Referee Stone Cold Steve Austin

This was another solid contest, a bit slow at times but with some nice psychology with Jericho working over Batista's knee (which Batista surprisingly sold throughout the match and even the next night on Raw!). I must say that the booking seems backwards with this, as usually the guest referee is used to stack the odds against the face and not the other way around, especially considering how dominant Batista has been made to look it seems ridiculous to stack the odds against Jericho. I obviously don't have much time for Batista and Jericho was definately the ring general here, but there isn't too much to complain about. There was so much interference at the end that I thought for a moment I was watching TNA, and while I normally do not like overbooking it actually helped this match quite a bit. I was very disappointed with Batista winning the belt as I felt Jericho's heel title reign was coming along extreemly well, and it seems like Batista never loses. I also thought throughout this fued that Jericho was made to look very weak and unimposing, but I have to say, in this match Jericho got his fair share of offense in and at times appeared to have the match won. All in all this was a solid match and a pretty good way to end the show, and it's always nice to see Austin get involved. ***1/4

Well that wraps up another ppv. I thought this was a very decent show, but there is really nothing here noteworthy enough to warrant a purchase. I would definately recommend renting this, but I think a purchase would be disappointing. The title change at the end was the only thing keeping this show from being completely irrelevant, but all in all there isn't a whole lot to complain about here.

The Rey Mysterio-Kane-No Holds Barred match was pretty good for a opener. The Matt Hardy-Evan Bourne-ECW title match was a high-flying,hard-hitting,entertaining showstealer. The Cryme Tyme-John Morrison/The Miz tag team match was a pretty good with alot of double-teaming to boot. The Santino Marella-Honky Tonk Man-IC title match was short but sweet. The Last Man Standing Match between The Undertaker & The Big Show was a solid,hard-hitting brawl. The HHH-Jeff Hardy-WWE title match was a back-and-forth,smash-mouth,high-flying bout and the same goes for the Batista-Chris Jericho-World's title match. I give this PPV a 8 out of 10.

No Holds Barred Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Kane - This was just like their No Mercy match in that it was "David vs. Goliath" with Mysterio getting some good offense in & being was able to hold his own against Kane here with various weapons like a stop sign, kendo stick, and a chair being used at one point.

ECW Champion Matt Hardy vs. Evan Bourne - Thsi was a very athletic contest here as it was Matt Hardy showcasing his inring psychology throughout the match by focusing on Bourne's back & ribs and even getting a little stiff at times with his slams & kicks while Evan showcased a flashier offense with his high flyin'. This was one of those matches where regardless of who gets the victory, both men come out strong.

Cryme Tyme vs. John Morrison & The Miz - The battle of WWE website shows "Word Up" vs. "The Dirt Sheet" here as the fans voted for this one over the mixed tag (understandable) & the World Tag Team Title Match (didn't see that one coming). This was an average match between both teams that was good but nothing really special.

Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella vs. Honky Tonk Man - This was the payoff for Santino's "Honk-A-Meter" he's been using ever since he won the I.C. belt. All I'll say here is that this "match" was just like anything involving Santino Marella, it's just here for comedic purposes only as the match itself was so weak...it's not worth me trying to describe it. The only good thing was getting to see the Honky Tonk Man on TV for the first time in several years.

Last Man Standing Match: Undertaker vs. Big Show - This was one of those matches that started off real slow as both men tried wrestling a "striker/MMA" boxing style match by using calculated punches but picked up after a while when they used the stipulation to their advantage by fighting on the outside and using weapons like a chair & the announce table. However, one thing that you can't help but notice were times where Charles Robinson was heavily slowing down & even stalling his final 10 count. Taker is one of the people who can bring out the best in the Big Show but the only real problem with this one was that the rematch took place too soon after their No Mercy match & they didn't top it here.

Throughout the night, you saw backstage promos of the WWE Divas in their Halloween Costumes so right here you saw them all in the ring while they announce the winner before the obivious catfight between the girls.

WWE Champion Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy - I quoted Jim Ross on their No Mercy match in that it was "one of the most competitve WWE Title matches..." and this match was no different as far as the inring work as Triple H is the one guy who can give Jeff Hardy the best straight WRESTLING matches in his career. However, this match wasn't as intense as the previous months and I think this match was missing that big match build since this one was built about Kozlov destroying both men for weeks only for him to not be voted in at all. Great match but, just like Show/Taker earlier, they're rematch didn't top the one they had only weeks earlier as it was lacking certain things.

World Champion Chris Jericho vs. Batista with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the referee - Unfortunally, this was one of those matches where you knew what was going to happen before the PPV and everything that happened during the PPV confirmed it. Everyone should have known that Steve Austin was going to be voted in as the guest referee (which he was) and that would right away stack the odds against Jericho (which was being put over with his backstage skits throughout the night) & that was made perfectly clear in the opening minutes of the match when Austin made the stipulation that Jericho could lose his title on a DQ or countout. The match itself was good between the two with Batista putting in a good performance while Jericho does what he does best in the ring both as a wrestler & character. The ending had run-ins from J.B.L., Orton, Shawn Michaels and Austin giving the stunner that everyone always pops for. It was a good match for what it was but the problem was that you knew exactly what was going to happen going into it.

Bonus Match: United States Champion Shelton Benjamin vs. R-Truth - This was originally on WWE's website as a preview match for the PPV but made it's was the DVD as a bonus extra. The match itself was nothing noteworthy as it was short but a good match for the short time given.

The only other DVD extra on here was Roddy Piper, Honky Tonk Man, and Goldust backstage debating on who was the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time. In the end, this was the best Cyber Sunday they've had next to the 2005 edition as there really wasn't a bad match on here (unless you count the Santino segment) with the only fallback being that if you've seen No Mercy than the rematches would come off as almost identical with a few minor changed that either helped or hurt the match depending on your point of view. In the end, if you already have a copy of the previous No Mercy then you can go ahead & skip this one unless you really want to see the ECW & World Title matches (and the appearences of Austin, Piper, and Honky) then go ahead & pick this one up.

No Holds Barred Match
Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
This match is a very superior opener. Mysterio works well with Kane in the ring. Better than their No Mercy battle. They bring weapons into the match more than before. The ending is scripted and a little messed up. Otherwise, Very watchable opener.

ECW Championship Match
Matt Hardy vs. Evan Bourne
Nice mix of match for these two. Hardy's grounded style mixes with Bourne's high flying style. They put on a good-lengthed match. Bourne puts on a clinic here with his high flying style. Very good match.

Cryme Tyme vs. The Miz and John Morrison
This one actually is interesting to watch. Cryme Tyme does well making their storyline with Miz and Morrison look real. It doesn't get slow or boring. It is a time filler and I think it was a little to long.

Intercontinental Championship Match
Honky Tonk Man vs. Santino Marella
Just another filler. The match is horrible but the entertainment did its job. Pretty much just used to waste time.

Last Man Standing Match
Undertaker vs. Big Show
This one is the match of the night here. This is their best match of 2008 out of their other matches. They really put on a good performance and put a lot of brutality into the match. A really weird spot is Taker staying down and the Ref at 9 but doesn't go to 10 because he is waiting for Taker to get up. Watch for that spot. Anyways, a very good big man match.

Around here is a Divas Halloween Costume Contest. Bathroom Break! Mickie James wins with the Lara Croft costume.

WWE Championship Match
Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy
This match is watchable. Their No Mercy clinic was better than this one though. This one lacked some of the energy their previous battles did. Triple H made Jeff look superior here by selling his moves. The match gets interesting towards the end. But,they have had better battles.

World Heavyweight Championship match with Special guest Referee Steve Austin
Chris Jericho vs. Batista
This one is a very good match. It is very main event worthy. The crowd was into the match pretty much the whole time with Austin getting into various arguments with Jericho. The match is very well done. The ending is very bad on the creative teams part. The wrong man won, but the match is very good.

I agree mostly with the reviews except about Santino vs Honky Tonk Man. This wasn't meant to be a big match it was suppose to be a funny match. And it delivered on that, I saw it in person and this PPV was awesome. Some predictable matches.

This year's Cyber Sunday was different then from year's past. Because this year you could only vote through text message & not the internet which I didn't do. But the results lived up to the hype. Many of the matches going in had good hype behind them and they all paid off pretty nicely.

No Holds Barred Match
Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
I was happy with the No Holds Barred stipulation being picked. A couple of good weapon use. Kane uses his size to wear down & counter Mysterio. Rey used a lot of his quickness to counter Kane. The match had a nice counter for the end. I enjoyed this match much as the opener. 4/5

Ecw World Championship
Evan Bourne vs. Matt Hardy
From the contenders for this match it seemed like Bourne was a shoe in but the results were actually pretty close. Bourne adds a lot of excitement to his matches & this was no exception. Hardy & Bourne uses some great & athlectic moneuvers. This was a susplended title match from Ecw in a very, very long time. 4.25/5

Cryme Tyme vs. John Morrison & The Miz
I guess the tag team title match didn't catch the voter's eye. But either way this tag bout delivered. Some nice teamwork & double teaming. Cryme Tyme did a good job of getting the crowd into the match. Morrison looked very good out there. This match didn't disappoint one bit. 3.75/5

Intercontinental Championship
Santino Marella w/ Beth Phoenix vs. Honky Tonk Man
Aww man, you saw this coming didn't ya. Nothing worth noting here. Huge let down & you knew it would be. It was good though to see Roddy Piper in good health & staying fit. 1/5

Last Man Standing Match
Undertaker vs. Big Show
A very good match up here between Show & the deadman. Some very good weapon use & brawling on the outside with a good table spot. The ref had a slip up & pretty much saved Taker at one point. But still a good match and one that will be enjoyed by many of you. 4.25/5

WWE Championship
Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy
Once again you saw this coming. After seeing a great match from these two at No Mercy I guess people wanted see an encore. And Hardy & Trips delivered another huge match up for the title. I actually enjoyed this match the same as their No Mercy encounter. A couple of good submissions & moves by Trips & solid unorthodox offense by Hardy. The last few moments was excellent & added more to the match. That counter into the pedigree from the top rope is a thing to see also. 4.5/5

World Heavyweight Championship w/ Stone Cold Steve Austin the Special Ref
Chris Jericho vs. Batista
I think whenever Stone Cold is the special referee, he adds so much more to the match. He also would add a special stipulation early on to the match. Jericho starts out by working on the injured leg of Batista & take away that powerful offense Batista possesses. The last few minutes of the match with Orton & HBK coming out made this match feel like a true main event. A solid match with an unexpecting finish. 4.25/5

This DVD was a solid event with the majority of the matches delivering. I recommend checking out this ppv sometime. Its pretty worth it.

Cyber Sunday kicks off the event with a WWE.com exclusive Cyber Sunday Preview match between Shelton Benjamin and his opponent voted in by the WWE fans who is R-Truth.The match was too short but I liked it because it was free unlike the rest of the Pay-Per-View.Any it was an exciting match for the United States Championship.Shelton Benjamin wins and retains the title.I give this match a 7 out of 10.

The first official match was a No Holds Barred match as voted in by WWE fans between Rey Mysterio and Kane.This was a very entertaining match and Rey shows everybody escpecially Kane how he is not dead.Rey wins.7 out of 10.

The second match was for the ECW Championship between the champ Matt Hardy and as voted in by the WWE fans Evan Bourne.A great match no one knew who was going to win but the experience difference took part in the decison.Matt Hardy wins and retains the ECW title.Matt after the match said that anytime Evan wants a rematch he has it.But that wont be happening soon because Evan is out with an injury.Great match.7.8 out of 10.

The third match as voted by the WWE fans Miz and Morrison vs Cryme Tyme.I didn't care for this.Miz and Morrison win.6 out of 10.
