——————————–

In My Opinion the show was OK, but Charles Robinson wins the Retard of the year award.
If Undertaker is clearly struggling to get up (not selling, but dues to his bad knee and hip) and you’re counting in a last man standing match, where you already know he’s the winner…
YOU DO NOT KEEP COUNTING AT THE SAME SPEED THEN HAVE A GIANT PAUSE BETWEEN THE 9 AND THE 10!

You’re supposed to be making it look real, not make it look MORE fake!

No wonder he was a WCW referee…

Vickie Guerrero comes in close second with her bad eyesight.
thinking 42% meant it was an I Quit Match.
It was the confidence in which she said it, and JR’s reaction afterwards that had me giggling.

She professionally corrected herself though, and no doubt, it’ll be nicely edited on the DVD.

Triple H wins the Greedy Bastard award, for once again booking himself in the main event and once again teasing Jeff Hardy with another shot at the gold and making him look JUST that little bit weaker, every single time he wrestles him. WWE would be stupid to never let Hardy win the gold, just because of his issues in the past, but the fact is, nobody deserves the belt more, because of what they’ve overcome and how far they’ve grown, not just in their career, but in their life. They’d be silly to never give him the belt, but they’re making a mockery out of him by letting Triple H play his games as a booker.

Jericho did well, and Batista totally squashed him, which was expected, but not needed. JBL was an absolutely pointless inclusion in the main event, as there were 2 other run ins, PLUS Austin.

Austin did great, but I felt let down that he didn’t stun Batista right at the end, I think everyone was expecting that. Maybe the crowd got to see it after the show went off the air?

Other than all those negatives, it was a pretty good show, and the diva’s looked great!

MY winner..is still undecided, it’s a toss up between Natalya and Maria.
They looked amazing!

But who cares? This is wrestling!

And there was some mighty fine wrestling put on tonight, mainly by both Hardys.
Evan Bourne gets rookie of the year award in my opinion, a great performance tonight, proving to all non indie fans that he can hang with the big boys and is definately championship material.

Well, that’s it from me. I’ll see YOU….at Survivor Series!
