All Rise...

Judge David Johnson was relieved this wasn't about the new lovemaking technique that's all the rage in Thailand.

The Charge

Not exactly true. No one dies.

The Case

A fixture of the WWE's pay-per-view slate, the Fatal 4-Way pretty much delivers the smackdown it promises: four burly wrestling superstars, one of whom is the current champion, square off and go at each other. Winners are declared by pinfall or submission.

This go-round features the following cards for both the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship, the difference between the two I am not entirely sure.

WWE Championship 2010
John Cena (defending champion)
Edge
Sheamus
Randy Orton

World Heavyweight Championship 2010
Jack Swagger
Big Show
CM Punk
Rey Mysterio

And the rest of the matches:

Intercontinental Championship
Kofi Kingston vs. Drew McIntyre

Fatal 4-Way Divas Championship
Gail Kim vs. Alicia Fox vs. Eve vs. Maryse

Chris Jericho vs. Evan Bourne

United States Championship
The Miz vs. R-Truth

6-Person Mixed Tag Team
The Hart Dynasty vs. The Usos

The Fatal 4-Way matches offer the most mayhem and brawling and with four guys going at it; you're going to see a bunch of twists and specials moves and other related wrestling tomfoolery. It's a concept that allows the WWE to showcase its more outlandish match creation. Unfortunately, if you haven't seen the special before, the front cover totally spoils the outcomes.

(Note: Keeping with its move away from the sleazier elements, this special is rated TV-PG.)

The DVD: full frame, 2.0 stereo, and some Nexus footage for the extras.

The Verdict

Not Guilty. They sure do punch each other!
