WWE TV 1/3-1/7

The Miz vs John Morrison, WWE RAW 1/3 (Falls Count Anywhere)

Everything before the commercial break was pretty standard, though Miz jumping Morrison on the ramp and Morrison's stage dive were both cool, but everything post-break was pretty awesome. Morrison has slowly been becoming a good wrestler over the last month or so, and he took a couple crazy bumps, both on the steel barricade and with the missed Starship Pain through a table on the outside (which was a great "holy shit" spot). Still the best thing about this was the nearfalls and how good both guys came out looking. Miz gets a clean, decisive win and survived Morrison's finisher, and Morrison lost because of his high-risk style. The first awesome match of 2011.

Daniel Bryan/Mark Henry vs Tyson Kidd/Ted DiBiase, WWE Superstars 1/6

This was alright. Henry wailing on DiBiase after getting slapped was fun and Bryan and Henry are a cool team that have chemistry together. Kidd is really OTT and corny, like if Davey Richards was in the WWE, and the heels' control section was dull, but Bryan's hot tag was great and full of enegry. Bryan was Bryan, and Henry was fun in his role but really the heels brought nothing and this was passable.

Rey Mysterio vs Alberto Del Rio, WWE Smackdown 1/7 (2/3 Falls)

Usually I'm not a fan of short falls in these types of matches as it makes the gimmick feel perfunctary, but here Del Rio winning in a matter of minutes made sense as to make him look like a threat after Rey missed an attempted 619. Rey continuing to sell the hurt arm into the second fall was a nice touch. Rey was really on-point in this match, coming up with crazy counters, hitting all of his high-flying stuff smoothly and keeping the match at a fast pace. This was a good match but didn't seem much better than any of their other matches together. Alberto staying on the arm all match was good, but he is clearly way below Rey as a wrestler, and the BS-finish was weak for a blow-off.
