MATCH #3: Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes vs. The Big Show

From the dismal setup of the previous feud, we come to one that I actually enjoyed following during the past few weeks as Rhodes continually taunted Show over his lack of great Wrestlemania moments, and his prevalence for ‘choking’ when it came to the ‘Granddaddy of ‘Em All’. The vignettes showing Show’s embarrassing moments were definitely some of the funnier segments on Raw and Smackdown lately, as well as Rhodes’ use of ‘Big Show’ as a pseudonym for ‘sucking’ or ‘failure’.

I was definitely impressed that the young IC Champ was able to carry this feud with such charisma and humour, but we all knew how this one was gonna go from the start. The match itself didn’t take much time to get to Show taking out the smaller man with his WMD (big fist in the face) and picking up the victory and his first Intercontinental Championship. All in all it was a satisfying conclusion to see Rhodes get his comeuppance, if a tad predictable.
