I refuse to care about the WWE until Randy gets his title back.

It was a pretty solid PPV. The last two matches were nothing exciting though.

I thought H/Orton was actually OK. wasnt horrible, but it wasnt amazing.
Jeff winning a match sucks cock. how is that a punishment for being suspended?

Just finished watching the show, overall a pretty decent show. Heres my two cents:
John Cena/JBL - an OK match, a very slow and sluggish match. Both these two should not have started the show, they should have started with a fast paced match, not a slow one. Cena picks up the victory and it looks like we get another match at ONS.
WWE Tag Team Titles - a decent match that went back and forth. Miz/Morrison pick up the victory clean, CM PUNK got pinned.
Jericho/HBK - probably the match of the night. It was a solid match with great spots and lots of near falls. However, their WM 19 match was better, still this one was good too. HBK wins, no Batista interference, i really wanted Jericho to win.
Womens Title - another decent match, it was better than Cena/JBL, enough said.
Taker/Edge - good match but a cheap count out finish just like how I predicted with no one going home with the title, Taker wins by Count out and the title is still vacated. I guess we see Hell in the Cell at ONS.
Man the crowd crapped all over Vickie Guererro LOL.
Bonus Match - Jeff Hardy/MVP - decent match, i cannot believe that Jeff Hardy is still getting pushed down everyone's throat, MVP loses clean, i thought MVP would win for sure.
Main Event - could have been better but it was still good. HHH wins but there was no blood WTF?
Overall a decent show, 7.5/10

It's so he can take it easy and get everything back to normal. And B) Why would he be punished AFTER the suspension? It wouldnt make sense. |

He breaks the wellness policy twice, and he pins a guy who's busting his balls and keeping clean at a PPV? I wouldnt be surprised if he's back with the IC title tomorrow. |

i cannot believe that Jeff Hardy is still getting pushed down everyone's throat Hardy is the new Cena. Only he is nowhere near as charismatic. Kids will adore him no matter what and many internet marks such as i will continue to dislike him because he's only a spot monkey. |

Do you think its a free vacation for idiots who cant get their S*** together? No, Hardy had 60 days suspension with no pay as PUNISHMENT for decisions his stupid ass made. It not to "get everything back to normal". And why be punished after the suspension? Because they gave Hardy the ball and he fumbled the sum bitch time and time again, thats why. |

I don't even know how to respond to that.. you're saying MVP and Umage, who also jobbed to Jeff, are not over? You realize, don't you, that a face and heel get over in different ways? |

I thought it was pretty damn good. I'll go on a star scale of 5.
JBL/Cena- Way better than their previous bouts, IMO, but very very predictable. **3/4
MnM v. Kane & Punk- I had to run to the store real quick for ice, but i did catch the finish. NR
HBK v. Y2J- This was definately the best match of the night. Reversal after reversal, nearfall after nearfall, and false finishers galore. Not anywhere as good as WMXIX, but pretty damn good for a match for the WWE of 08. ****
Womens Title Match
Beth v. Melina v. Mickie (c)- I thought this was runner up for MOTN, tbh. I mean it had some awesome wrestling, pretty inovative counters and such. Plus the double backbreaker was sweet, and for the crowd to get up and give a ''Standing O'' was even better. BTW, Mickie winning was the icing on the cake. ***1/4
World Title Match
Taker v. Edge- It was a good solid match, but unfortunately all their matches follow the same exact pattern, but great nonetheless. I wish he would have put Edge in the chokehold. ***1/2
Hardy v. MVP- Nothing overly spectactular, me personally, I wanted Big Show or Umaga to accept MVP's challenge. But this was a nice little filler to kill some time. **1/2
WWE Championship Match
Randy Orton v. Triple H(c)- This was a decent cage match. I thought since Randy and Hunter click well most of the time, and Orton is a cage specialist this one was gonna be awesome. It did the job to keep the crowd going, but was utterly predictable with HHH winning. ***
Overall, a *** PPV. The only reason I gave this a low rating was because every match followed the theme of the night....PREDICTABLE. Had some good matches but wasn't enough.

You realize, don't you, that a face and heel get over in different ways? No crapsherlock. Orton is an over heel. People actually care enough to hate him. Edge is an over heel, same reason. Umaga is over but isn't used correctly. When Jeff beat him last week, I wasn't really satisifed with it. But MVP, there is nothing special about him IMO. |

I can honestly say I LOVED the World Championship match and think it's the best match the two have had together, the ending was a bit iffy but I suppose we'll get HIAC next month in which Taker can use his Gogoplata to regain the championship.

The entire ppv left me shaking my head. Very predictable, nothing to get overly excited about at any point during any match.
WWE needs to pick it up a bit with overall match quality and to interject some element of surprise from time to time.
Best moment for me was the Beth Phoenix double back breaker. When was the last time you remember a woman getting a standing ovation? Only thing that comes to mind was the Lita/Trish match that main evented Raw a few years back.

I thought it had really solid matches, just not good winners. Cena and Triple H getting dominated in their matches and then coming back last minute to win is sad. Miz/Morrison Im happy about. And the HBK/Jericho match was really good, shouldve saved that for SummerSlam
