I'm starting to get into the habbit of doing this weekly, anyways as always I invite you big me up, or slag me off as you see fit afterwards
*missed the first ten minutes but saw taker destroy miz through the announce table. I like the direction of taker going into mania. Especially with the way he's popping up everywhere without saying much - simply awesome stuff
*the main event was superb IMO - that is until the end. I think batista used 4 spinbusters then a batista bomb, which really exposes how limited batista is. I know he was selling his arm, and he isn't known for performing hurricaranas but there are other moves you can perform with your right arm; even a sidewalk slam or bodyslam wouldn't have gone amiss
* kennedy's promo was top notch, although it did go on for a bit. I loved the way he was staring down the wrestlemania sign, his intensity in the promo, I geninuely thought that he would cause some sort of change to the main event at mania -- maybe have made it a triple threat with taker pinning kennedy. Without getting sidetracked, bottom line is kennedy was gold on smackdown
*finlay-boogeyman was ok. didnt catch the end, but found it amusing how boogeyman was "boogying" up at one point
*a good choice for the "from the vault" segment, which was a jericho-hogan match from 2002. Made me realised how much jericho added to a show cos that was one of hogan's better matches
*deuce and domino's new finish looks a little clumsy to me. London and kendrick are made to look like chumps, although it's good in a way that they are made to look like underdogs going into no way out
*helms-davari was good for what it was, although i reckon helms may unintenionally turn face in this programme. May be wrong, but its just a hunch
*I like matt hardy, but I find it frustrating that his programmes get overbooked in the sense that he's always in one on one matches against against whoever he's working a programme with - i think it takes heat away from any potential ppv match as we've seen it too often. It happened with helms and its happening with mercury.
so, do you guys agree or not? or am I just being too picky with my sentimental favourite show?
