I was looking at WWE 24-7 and decided to do a review. Knowing me, I'll overrate some matches but here goes!
We start with the typical announcer intros, but Foley's debut makes it fun. What an outfit

The announcers (Cole/Foley) really plug how this is Matt's most important match of his career to prove if he can make it as a singles star, and of course plugging how MVP injured him. MVP is an excellent heel. Gets the crowd to hate him so easily. A pretty good match, if nothing amazing. A great way to kick off Matt's US title run, too bad in the long run it didn't do too well. A very quick finish, but I liked it and I marked for Matt winning, always being a bigger M. Hardy fan than J. Hardy. An all around good PPV opener.
Overall Rating: ***1/4
A good promo from Matt, not his best by any means but good. I like how he puts over his old title reigns and makes the US title win sound huge for him. Again, too bad it didn't pan out well.
2nd Match: Chavo Guerrero vs. Kane for the ECW Championship
After the 9 second win at Mania, this match was surely going to last longer. Luckily it did. This match I think, is underrated due to both men being hit and miss, and Kane usually more miss than hit now. However I think this match delivered and is one of Kane's top PPV matches and Chavo showed he is a worthy upper-mid card guy. Bam Neely's PPV debut, I might add! The finish was ok but I didn't like the no sell of the frog splash.
Overall Rating: **3/4-***
Promo with Randy Orton. I miss the Age of Orton. Quite basic promo, but good nonetheless.
3rd Match: The Big Show vs. The Great Khali
This match had two choices: Be boring and horrible or be a surprisingly good big man's match. I felt it said "screw you" and took a third option. A decent match for two big guys. Some said the match would be horrid, other's said it could be good. It wasn't really good, but it wasn't BAD considering who's involved. Watching it a second time, it still did nothing for me really but was better than it could have been and probably better than it should have been. I liked the chokeslam on Show

Cena and Yang talk in the back about Country albums. Orton shows up behind Cena and Yang leaves. Orton says Cena won't win. Generic but good. Then the WWE championship poll is shown. HHH WILL WIN!!!!
4th Match: Shawn Michaels vs. Batista w/ Chris Jericho as Guest Referee
It's funny. This feud stemmed from HBK/Flair and branched off to HBK/Y2J. This match I think is one of Batista's best besides with Undertaker. Honestly, his mic work was quite good in this feud which is very rare. And HBK is HBK as usual. Jericho got a pretty big pop, even if the smallest in the match. I remember being bothered by him in this match, because it won't lead to anything. Everyone agreed afterwards. Who would have thought we got a feud of the year out of it? haha. It amazes me how over Batista is. Not because he's incredibly over all the time, but the fact that no matter who he's facing, he never really gets turned on. Whether it's with UT, HBK, CM Punk, etc. it seems like the crowd always supports him. LOL I saw a TNA wrestling . com sign. Surprised it wasn't edited. I love the arm work and the finish went down to being huge for the future. I may be overrating it to some, but I loved this match. Most give it right under ****, but I think it deserves the rating. Especially for what it led to.
Overall Rating: ****
Randy Orton and HHH then have a segment backstage. HHH tells Orton that pride comes before the fall. Is that a fact, Hunter?!
5th Match: 12 Diva Tag Match
I believe it was Steve who said this was better than it had any right to be, and he was right. If nothing else, everyone was able to get in some big spots and we saw Victoria, Beth, Natalya, Mickie James, and Melina all in the same match which would make it decent at the very least. Kelly and McCool have gotten much better since this. As has Cherry (though not to their levels obviously). I liked the finishing sequence too. Plus, some divas were smokin'. Major flaw: Ashley

Overall Rating: **1/4. It should have been much less.
6th Match: Undertaker vs. Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship
Ah, I loved this feud. it got a lot of hate, but all but maybe one of the matches, in my mind, got ****+. The promos were good, the build was decent, but the matches were greatness. I did forget how since Mania, they focused on UT having a rough month and Edge having it easy. Simple but effective. I loved the finish too I might add.
Overall Rating: ****
HHH won the mobile alert poll. Maybe WWE will swerve us?!!?!?!?!?
7th Match: Randy Orton vs. John Cena vs. JBL vs. HHH for the WWE Championship
Perhaps the best Fatal Four Way in WWE history, or so some say. It was quite good and once it was just HHH and RKO, it became great. I wanted the Age of Orton to continue, but I guess HHH winning was cool too. It's hard to believe Cena hasn't been champion still

Overall I would give the PPV an 8-8.25 out of 10. It managed to reach the bar that was set the year before. I was impressed or happy with nearly everything and it could be WWE's 2nd best PPV this year.
And I got less detailed as time went on because I'm freakin' tired lol. Enjoy/rate/hate/debate
