Agreed.

Nice to see Punk win, an unexpected finish for me. Would like to see him cash it in on Smackdown sometime before Wrestlemania. He could always cash it in during next years WM as well. |
While it was a suprise to see CM Punk win I don't know if I agree with it. I don't see him cashing in the Money In The Bank until ECW or Smackdown gets a heel champion again. The only exception is if Triple H goes heel and wins the title within the year. The idea of Orton and CM Punk headlining a PPV especially for the Raw brand just does not fly.

Worst match of the night easily. All the blame should not be put on Batista though as Umaga seemed less than stellar as well. However, this has always been Batista's problem. He is almost never able to carry a good singles match without the opponent being better or more experienced (i.e. Undertaker and Triple H).

Lot of emotion in this match, and when HBK was setting up for the Sweet Chin Music, and said "I'm sorry, I love you"...christ my heart skipped a beat. The look on Flair's face after getting pinned, you could tell he was starting to ball. All in all, thought this was a great way to end Flair's career, and he went out looking really good at the biggest event of the year. |
I'm tired of people saying this was a good match. The fact is it was decent because Shawn Michaels almost killed himself and over sold to make the match good. Flair looked sloppy in the ring at many points and even though he has done a lot for the business this was a long time coming. Working 35 years at any job is too long and you could see it in this match.

Agreed with giving Shelton a push especially after what he did in the Money In The Bank. I also agree on Elijah Burke but he just needs more time. As far as Chavo goes if you move him back to Smackdown why not let him feud with Matt Hardy after he finishes with MVP.

I'm surprised the heels won this one, but who really cares anyway? Santino = Ratings. |
Santino is pure gold. As far as I am concerned he should be Intercontinental Champion now. Santino has not had a bad promo in a long time and he actually is a decent wrestler. As far as the best part of the match I would have to say it was not Snoop and Maria but when Beth Phoenix picked up Melina and flipped her on top of Maria.

Figured it would come back to bite him in the ass. Pretty good looking shot with the knucks from Maywether. |
That was suprisingly good with the big difference in size and the lack of wrestling ability in regards to Mayweather. My only problem with the match was that Mayweather wrestled in Chinchila fur. Now, what do you do with Big Show is the question?

Not used to seeing Cena looking up at the lights, but I was glad we didn't see a title change here. Orton needed this win the most. |
Great match, great ending. It was good to see Orton win as well. However, I would have made this the last match especially since it was the most hyped title match.

This was a good match, but I think people weren't interested in this match as much as the Triple Threat. The ending though was good no one expected Edge to tap out and it was good to see Edge counter many of Undertaker's moves.
