Review of WWE's Night Of Champions: Possibly The Best PPV This Year?

Well, another PPV just ended, and I can happily say that I was very impressed this time around. WWE did a lot of things right with very few slip-ups. I'll go through a quick recap of the matches, and then what I personally thought of the result, as well as where WWE can go from here.

The team/superstar listed first is defending.

Match One: Unified Tag Team Match between Chris Jericho/Big Show and Priceless

WWE certainly surprised a lot of people with this move. Many people were saying Chris Masters or Kane, but I read hardly any Big Show predictions. I was skeptical at first when Jericho announced who it would be (as was the crowd) but Jericho proved to be quite compatible with The World's Largest Athlete, and these two will certainly prove to be a force to be reckoned with.

I think it was a bit predictable that Team Jericho would win, but that didn't stop this match from being good. Legacy didn't look too bad even though they lost, and Cody Rhodes actually hit a pretty impressive moonsault at one point.

I think it does make them look kind of bad losing time and time again, but I'm pretty sure they will capture the gold soon enough.

Hopefully, Jericho and Big Show can help the tag division by appearing on all three brands. Legacy, or at least Priceless, needs to stay together at least until more tag teams arrive, but all in all, I think things are looking up for the tag division.

Match Two: ECW Championship Match between Tommy Dreamer and Christian. 

I'm glad Tommy Dreamer finally dropped the title. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but he's not a realistic champion. I've said this many times, he's past his prime, and is not the person you want to represent an entire brand.

Christian, in my mind, can definitely lead the brand as a respected champion while Tommy Dreamer can focus on putting younger talent over, retiring, and looking back on a great career.

Despite the fact that Tommy isn't in the best shape of his life, the two were still able to put on a decent show. While it wasn't the best match I've ever seen, it definitely showed that ECW isn't just a show for losers.

I thought after last week's show that Christian might be turning heel, but it doesn't appear so after his post-match actions. This can actually work out for the better though, as it can put some of the better heels on ECW, such as Shelton Benjamin, in the main event scene where the belong.

Match Three: Six Pack Challenge for the United States Championship between Kofi Kingston, Primo, M.V.P., Carlito, The Miz, and Jack Swagger

Let me just say that Kofi Kingston is looking unstoppable right now. He has now successfully defended his championship in both a fatal-four way and six pack match up. That's like defending against eight superstars right there! Even Cena would be impressed.

This, in my mind is great, both for Kofi's career as well as the prestige of the U.S. title. It now has some worth to it, and Kofi definitely looks like a capable champion.
