First episode of Main Event reviewed in months and they only give us two matches. Even more frustratingly, this is sandwiched by two Cesaro/Mark Henry segments where they build up to a match in the first, then yank it away in the second. Poor show lads.
Damien Sandow vs R-Truth
This episode is filmed in England, so Sandow is cosplaying as
Sherlock Holmes. This match seems to go on for ever, which is surprising as nothing
really happens. The match goes to commercial with the only happening being a
really ugly roll up attempt by Truth. At least when we come back we get a huge
over-the-top rope bump from Truth. Sandow controls the bout with a long
headlock and some unconvincing offence – his “vicious elbows” to a downed Truth
consist of him leaning over his body and punching the mat. Truth makes a brief
comeback, but misses the Lie Detector and Sandow hits a full Nelson slam to
win.
Aksana vs Naomi
Am I nuts for wishing this had gone a bit longer? Naomi goes
for Aksana’s eye to start with a few punches, which is a nice throwback to the
injury suffered at Aksana’s hands. Naomi hits a nice looking seated butt
splash, which feels like a move she should do more often considering her derriere-based
offence. She also hits this nasty looking Pedigree variation, with Aksana
draped over the ropes. The camera very wisely zooms in during a terrible bit of
Aksana offense, making it hard to tell what happened. Naomi wins with the Rear
View from nowhere.
