Overall: 3.5

I thoroughly enjoyed this PPV. Match of the night goes to Christian/Jack Swagger. Now many of you might be wondering why that one over Edge/Cena. One, I’m a peep, and two Jack Swagger gave a great power performance. Give this kid some more seasoning and work on the personality (its a little forced at times) he should be in the top tier someday, if not World/WWE Champion at least US/Intercontinental.

Second match of the night would go to Cena/Edge. This was what JR would call a sloberknocker. It didn’t get match of the night for the ending. Big Show didn’t need to be there. Every time they do an ending like that it doesn’t help Edge. I like it when Edge gets a clean win. He’s a good enough performer to pull that off every time, heal or not.

Quick Random Thoughts:
  • Tripple H going to be off show for a while?
  • Batista/Randy Orton feud coming?
  • Would like to see Triple H and Orton in a Hell in the Cell Match. Wondering if that would happen with WWE’s new PG programming.
  • Did Matt Hardy really need to get all whiny at the end?
  • Quote of the night, “My Little Slobberknocker”.
  • Don’t you feel Michael Cole was left out with the 3 man team of Cole, Ross, and Lawler?
