Cyber Sunday lives up to expectations
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.

The fourth match was between Santino and as voted in by the WWE fans the Honky Tonk Man for the Intercontinental Championship.Stupid match.Honky wins by disqualification.3 out of 10.

The fifth match was between The Undertaker and Big Show in a Last Man Standing match as voted in by the WWE fans.A great match.There were spots where I thought 'Taker was done for but he came back and won.8 out of 10.

The sixth match was Triple H faced off against whoever the WWE fans chose with that man being Jeff Hardy for the WWE Championship.A great match.There were spots where I thought Jeff was going to win but once again he is one step away.Very good match.8 out of 10.

The seventh match and the main event was between Chris Jericho and 'The Animal' Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship with the special referee being Stone Cold Steve Austin as voted in by the WWE fans.It was a fun match to watch with the other referee choices getting involved but Batista was able to beat Jericho even though Jericho hit Batista with the World Title belt.Batista finally wins the World Heavyweight Championship he has tried to win back for almost a year.A stellar main event.8.5 out of 10.

This years Cyber Sunday is by far the best one yet.Every match was decided by the WWE fans whether it was opponents,match types,or special guest referee this event lives up to its expectations.8 out of 10 overall.

WWE Cyber Sunday 2008
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.

One of the best Cyber Sundays, despite just a decent main event
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.
