First of all, lol @ Yang going over Burchill in the dark match.

Knox going over Truth also makes me happy, because I can't fucking stand Killings in his current gimmick. Morrison continuing his undefeated streak on SD ftw. Punk bitching Edge out is also a great sign. Punk is actually starting to look like a main event player. He'd better go over Umaga on JD. lol @ Dolph... where are they going with this guy? Poor Jericho, jobbing to Hardy. He probably made Hardy look like a million bucks, too.

Sir Nicky Talent · 05-06-2009, 12:15 AM

Dude, Dolph taking down Khali is great news. I love the push they are giving Dolph. I pray it add on to an Intercontinental Title run. He really reminds me of Mr. Perfect

The Brain · 05-06-2009, 12:17 AM

I actually just saw that he lost to Khali and glazed over the details. Him beating the hell out of Khali with a chair is actually pretty sweet, but I wouldn't say he's getting a push.

Sir Nicky Talent · 05-06-2009, 12:21 AM

But you have to say, they are hyping him up to something. He really has outshined a lot of draftees. Plus, if they have him beating the shit out of Khali with a chair, and him challenging for the US title, as opposed to doing nothing on RAW. I see him at least with one IC Title run

The Brain · 05-06-2009, 12:24 AM

Very true. Now that you mention it, he might be the perfect guy to take it off Rey.

Internet God · 05-06-2009, 03:21 AM

Umaga versus CM Punk should be a pretty decent match for Judgment Day. So there's two good matches at Judgment Day now. Christian/Swagger and Umaga/Punk. Not too thrilled about Edge/Jeff as I'm not really a fan of either man. Would have been kind of cool if Jericho would have won the match to make the WHC match at Judgment Day a Triple Threat. Mysterio/Jericho, when it's announced officially, should be a good match as well. I've read on house show results that they've been having good matches at the house shows.

Summersftw · 05-06-2009, 04:56 AM

Anyone think that Alicia Fox accompanying McCool and Benjamin accompanying Haas were both a bit strange? I'd guess at a WGTT reform, but i think it's probably just an attempt to build up a Benjamin/Morrison feud.

Tommy Platinum · 05-06-2009, 09:17 AM

Still can't believe they had Kane go over Punk. I mean seriously... what was the fucking point? Punk would have looked awesome overcoming Kane then getting attacked by Umaga and feuding with him, while defeating the World Champion cleanly along the way. The Kane defeat seems such a random and pointless loss to take away some of his momentum.

Punk vs Umaga should be good though if booked right.
