Breaking Point 2009

1. Chris Jericho + Big Show defeated MVP + Mark Henry by pinfall

I had higher hopes for this, but there was too much of Mark Henry and MVP seemed unmotivated.

Rating: 2 (out of 5)

2. Kofi Kingston defeated Miz by pinfall

This was a great back and forth match that you really didn't know who was going to win. That seems to be a rarity these days.

Rating: 3.25

3. Legacy defeated Shawn Michaels + Triple H by submission

These guys gave a great effort, but this match really lacked in the creative department. This was just senseless brawling for the most part.

Rating: 2.25

4. Kane defeated Great Khali by pinfall

Well, the fact that they had big sticks to hit each other with definitely helped.

Rating: .75

5. Christian defeated William Regal by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

This was two veterans putting on a good professional wrestling match. Christian made sure that Regal looked like a threat and played the babyface role perfectly.

Rating: 3.5

6. John Cena defeated Randy Orton in an I Quit Match to win the WWE Championship

This was a good match, but unfortunately you knew Cena wasn't going to quit. I can't take away from Cena here though, because he gave a great effort and took a beating. I feel that they went to the handcuffs too early and that kept this from being something special.

Rating: 3.25

7. CM Punk defeated Undertaker by "submission"

So let's get this straight. CM Punk works his tail off to become a great heel. He then puts on a great program with Jeff Hardy, looking like a serious threat. Then Undertaker buries him in under 10 minutes, proving that he's not in his league. Then they do the stupid "screw the face in Montreal" bit and he wins, even though he looks like a jobber. Nice work.

Rating: 2.25

Well, out of the themed shows, this one was definitely the biggest stretch. Plus, the ending left a sour taste in a lot of people's mouth. But other than that, this show is not as bad as most people made it out to be. It lacks a classic match, but most everything is at least okay. I just wouldn't go out of my way to see this.
