Right, here are the notes for IGN's No Mercy ppv. The matches which are on the card are:
John Cena vs Booker T
Kurt Angle vs Big Show
The Undertaker vs JBL
Video opens up with a promo skit for Taker vs JBL, shows them exchanging blows etc. JBL looks pretty fucking sweet, apart from the legends, he's the only person left on the countdown I really want to see. Taker seems to get the upper hand in the promo video.
Pyro goes off and shows the No Mercy stage, then switches and we see the vs screen for the first match.
John Cena vs Booker T
- Booker T comes out first. The guys talk about this Booker T being the best looking one. Booker comes down after the pyro and does his taunts. Cena is out next, and cuts a freestyle rap, I'm thinking this has been edited in by the guys. Once Cena finishes it he runs down to the ring and slides in and does his taunts.
- Match starts with a last minute warm up animation. Booker is fighting dirty, Cena is fighting clean. They say you can turn off the pre-match animatons if they start to anoy you. Cena hits a backbody drop and a couple of chops before hitting the throw back. They joke about how Booker T wanted the best of 5 series so he could get on tv 5 times. They talk about the features of the L1 button, how it can be used to argue with the ref and hold onto submissions. They remind us that they are using the 100% version, but get distracted when the ref takes a bump. They talk about how its improved from 85-90%. The COM actually attacks more instead of standing around.
- Booker T and Cena trade blows whilst the ref is out, T gets the better of Cena and goes for a pin but gets a 2, he argues with the ref and his dirty meter flys up. They get off track and talk about where Stevie Ray is, and how everything "flows" well. Booker T is kicking Cena's ass at the moment and goes for a Smackdown move but gets reversed. Booker T activates his Dirty meter and does the taunt, and hits Cena with a nasty low blow from the front. I noticed that when T hit it, Cena's face meter went down.
- Cena eventually battles back and hits the new FU on T, but a rope break puts a stop to the pin. They talk about how good the wrestling games could be for the PS3, and talk about how there could be one more Smackdown game for the PS2. T hits the Scissor Kick on Cena. Cena battles back and hits the throwback on T, which busted him open. They talk abit about how WCW only did two ppv's a year. Cena hits the FU on T, but picks him up again. They think the most improved thing from last year is the submission reversals/break ups.
- The match has a 15 minute time limit and the video is 14 minutes in. Cena throws T into the corner and starts a chop battle, which T wins. With 6 seconds to go Booker T hits Cena with the Scissor Kick again, but the time runs out before he can get the pin. They then joke about how it will now have to go to a best of 6.
Big Show vs Kurt Angle is next.
