Does it make ZERO sense to anyone else why WWE would Have Rhodes and DiBiase win but not Orton? They finally put Rhodes and DiBiase over and had they put Orton over as well, they could have looked like a legit stable finally. Unless they have Orton turn on Rhodes and DiBiase or the other way around, this makes no sense.
Actually, ya, it does make some sense to me. You can't have cena lose an "I quit" match, that's his entire gimmick. The never give up, never surrender face. He just lost clean to orton last PPV, if he loses an "I quit" match, then you better have the cena heel turn ready, because the last of his momentum as a face would have been shot.
Plus, i actually think Orton is over enough with the crowd heel heat wise that he doesn't need the belt at all times. Not sure i can say that about cena.
i thought that match was extremely well done from both sides. It made randy look extremely vicious and Cena did a great job selling the beating.
I would think Orton will be getting the title back at the rumble. Then set up the blow off for WM, which could go either way.
Speaking of Legacy, that was another good match. Best part was they actually let one of the legands sell for the young kids.
Best part of the whole match was the dx entrance when the crowd started the "you screwed brett" chants and Hunter went with "I know there was some.....unpleasantness in the past. And for the record....it was 100% his fault" Even the crowd had to laugh at that.
MAtch of the night, i thought, was actually Miz V. Kofi. Say what you want about miz, but he is solid in the ring and a great heel on the mic.
Taker-Punk was alright, that was just such and odd match to be on the "breaking point" card. You knew that they didn't want punk to lose the title, but you cant have taker tap. Best ending they could have gone with i guess.
Tag match was ok. I'm getting real sick and tired of jericho getting the stuffing kicked out of him and never getting any kind of offense in. I mean, he is one of your top workers, and night in and night out he sells for midcarders in the tag division and never gets to look strong never mind win. When is the last time that team beat anyone without the awful "ho-HO! i punched you!" finisher?
I dunno, i really, really regert edge getting injured. That team was fun to watch, because both guys were allowed to play the cocky heel, and they were both allowed to get offense in.
Now, to keep show's cred as a monster intact, one half of the team (Y2J) isn't allowed to look strong, since SOMEONE has to sell for the other team, and god forbid its show.
Just irks me. I know the WWE got put in a tough spot with edge going down, but i'm really starting to tire of the unstoppable big show and the little wuss storyline. Makes Jericho look extremely weak.
Christan-Regal was probably the second best match of the night, pure ring work wise. Christan needs to be rescued from ECW post haste. MAbey once the ROH guys get in, they can go to ECW to start out, make regal the champ, and get christan to smackdown. I mean, anything to get him more time. The fans barley get to see him, and he got probably...the third, mabey the fourth biggest pop all night?
With hardy gone and taker looking old, smackdown needs a new face. Via va captain charisma!
Oh yea, anytime the Kali-kane fued is over, that would be great...smackdown has a ton of fueds id rather see. I guess it did provide a 15 minute window for me to pop popcorn though.
