Haven't seen
RAW yet, so I can't compare, I'll leave that to the
"Monday Night Wars" thread anyway when I do see it.
It was cool seeing
Rob Van Dam, and smart booking I guess, but annoying nonetheless. My thought, like most being
"Holy **** I'm going to see RVD vs. Sting" (
Taz told all the stoners that about 10 minutes prior to it happening anyway....) and then we didn't get it, now technically we did, but a 10 second match does not a match make. It was a great feud building exercise and obviously the money is in having this match on
PPV so it would have been dumb to give the whole thing away on free tv.
Hulk Hogan's presence in the segment/angle leads me to think that past this, the long term angle/plan is Hulk Hogan vs. Sting (again), maybe they are trying to right the wrongs from the conclusion of the past feud many years ago and maybe the "spin" on this angle is the reverse roles of who is heel and face compared to who was back in the day.
The
X-Division match was very good but I'm not exactly thrilled to see
Shannon Moore run-in and get the next shot, it's like watching
Funaki run down, I know he's talented but I've seen him on
Velocity for too many years, sorry, but give it to someone else.
Eric Young's current role has really won me over, it suits him, amazingly, liked the segment with the
Wolfpac,
Hall seemed the most sober he'd been for ages, although Hall and
Nash hardly sold the feud on their end, they seemed to be having fun with each other.
Beer Money thrive as heels, wise choice.
No
Morgan or
Hernandez? Strange....
Jeff Hardy joining, cool!
Beautiful People as
Tag Champs, that works for me!
Honestly the segment with
Kurt Angle bored me......
Maybe it's me, but if I was a new viewer and at the start of the show I saw this new guy
Abyss coming out with Hogan, I'd think who's the fat indie looking wrestling coming out with The Hulkster. He's spending all this time trying to give him the "Rub", wouldn't he of been better doing that with someone like Morgan or Hernandez?
How many smurfin' times did the crowd shoot to
Dixie and Brooke during that 1st segment/match, was it really needed? Heck the commentators didn't even acknowledge who Brooke was 'til like the 5th time the camera switched to her feeling the need to explain why she was crying.
Overall decent show, can they keep it up though? They can't rely on debuts of the RVD, Hardy caliber each and every week can they?
