Movie Reviews of WWE: Cyber Sunday 2007Movie Review: How many bad finishes can fit into one show? Summary: 3 StarsI 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.
