It looks like a very good card.  I'm really looking forward to Punk vs. Hardy and Mysterio vs. Jericho.  Mysterio and Jericho's feud so far has provided some really good matches, surely Mysterio will win here, maybe by DQ, I just can't see him losing the mask, for starters its a MASSIVE merchandise seller.

I am going to watch this for free tonight.

I hate 2 out of 3 fall matches cause u know it is going to the third fall.

[Hammy]

The event started really well, but bombed with the last 2 matches.

The Scramble Match was fun, and Mysterio and Jericho tore the house down again with what was easily match of the night.  Ziggler was made to look like a star and Edge and Jericho's title win was a nice surprise and made me think, 2 man power trip.  I like the way they are going with the Punk vs. Hardy bout and the bullshit finish worked in the context of the is he a heel, is he really a bad man way they are going with Punk.  Women's Title Match was ok, Cena's win felt like a glorified squash and the Main Event just didn't do it for me.  Last 45 minutes aside, a quality show.

It was another show which proved Smackdown and ECW to be the strong brands.  No wonder they want Jericho and Edge available to RAW...

The best two matches Punk/Hardy and Jericho/Mysterio were okay, but it wasn't exactly better than what we see on SmackDown! every week.

Triple H/Orton was pretty weak, their match last Monday was alot better.

The Scramble match was so bad, I actually had a crazy thought during it about Dreamer being so bad technically that he makes Henry look like The Undertaker  .

The highlight of the night was definitely the beginning of a new Kane/Khali feud....

You've been watching too many old "Nitros".

I'm not the biggest Mysterio fan in the world but his match with Jericho was definitely match of the night. Had me wondering who was gonna win at points.

Orton/HHH was OK. The first two falls felt kinda pointless though.

I liked the Punk/Hardy finish. I assume it will only be a matter of weeks until Punk turns full-blown heel.

Thought Cena/Miz would've been longer seeing as it was second-last match on the card. Going in, I thought it would either be a quick squash or a match where Miz really gave Cena a run for his money. He got some moves in but nothing where you thought Cena might actually lose.

Kane/Khali feud?? :-\ At least it gives them something to do I suppose. Hammy is revealed to be a member of WWE creative as Ziggler hits a Fameasser on Khali.

So I thought it was an alright show. Nothing too spectacular but still fairly good.


Oh yah, Melina looked hot too.

Haha, it was botched, it looked naff, the effort was there though, hopefully he uses it on a regular basis,  Grisham merely called it a legdrop.  Fameasser is as it happens a modified Rocker Dropper used by by Marty Jannetty another favourite of mine.

Ha! As soon as I saw that I knew someone was going to come out with a smart comment, BlowUp, you beat me to it!

The problem with WWE is, u see these matches on Raw too much.
They need to go back to the guys not wrestling till the PPV's.

How many more matches must we be forced to endure between Orton/HHH?

dude bitchsmacked your wife with a ddt and kissed her but yet Orton keeps kicking your ass even worse Shane O Mac did as well as u did and u are a 15 time or whatever it is world champ.

Whats worse is the television match was better, it doesn't matter quite so match if the match is superb like the IC Title bout was.

something in the heat gets lost when u have seen the guys wrestle 50 times on free TV. especially now WWE is PG and u aren't gonna get anymore violence or cool ****.
