Highlight: Big Show chokeslamming Rhodes through a table post-match... but- with the frustrations he must have been feeling- we know he was really chokeslamming himself. Lowlight: Worst Table Match elimination ever. Review: In a feud that was based on "Dashing" Cody Rhodes mocking the Big Show for having a less-than-stellar performance history at WrestleManias, the Big Show lost his newly-won Intercontinental Championship in a truly less-than-stellar fashion. The match started out promising enough, as Show manhandled the much, much smaller Cody, setting up tables inside and outside the ring as a sure sign of the carnage to come. Then, four minutes into the match, as Big Show stood on the apron, Rhodes hit the big man's leg with a dropkick. Off-balance, Show attempted to right himself by standing on a ringside table. Instead of saving himself, the Big Show ended up eliminating himself, his massive weight proving to be too much for the wood, as the table cracked cleanly into two. The look on Big Show's face as he realized what happened was the same as the entire viewing audience: "That's it? That's what our money is paying for?" The beat down on the new champion afterwards was fun, but the match itself was only four-and-a-half minutes long. Not exactly a classic, and definitely not "Extreme." How it could have been better: Five more minutes minimum, with Big Show receiving a Disaster Kick to put him through the table. Keep the chokeslam after the bell; it was an impressive bump by the youngest Rhodes.
