It'd be awesome if we got to see Evan and Rey team up again for the Tag Titles. I know it won't happen but the both of them made a great team on Raw last year. I can dream though >.>
Punk/Hardy... good chemistry, but holy hell, were they saving it or WHAT? The match was boring and slow in some aspects. The ending with the question mark on Punk turning heel was the best part.
IC title match DELIVERED. No doubt about that. Schweet, schweet match.
Don't give a fuck about Team Canada winning... wanted to see 4 young mid card guys go at it for a schweet tag match, but we couldn't get that now... phrawr.
Michelle.... *seethes*, don't get me started. Congratulations Michelle, too bad fans know it was because you're sleeping with Taker.
John Cena making The Miz look like a joke. HOW AWESOME! *roll eyes...*
Decent pay per view. Bullshit endings for some.

Legacy really sucks. Hell, Carlito even looked terrible in the match. I'm glad Edge and Y2J came in and made the match watchable.
Me too, Edge and Jericho made the match hilarious, and honestly it beats Edge getting another world title reign, as well as that, it gives us something new; also adds a little prestige to the Tag Titles, and it means Edge stays out the World Title picture, so we can carry on with Jeff/Punk.
I was very tired so I wasn't paying much attention to the show. Jericho/Rey seemed good. Loved the finish.
The Scramble finish was awful, that's all I remember from it.
Punk/Hardy was a bit lifeless until the restart.
Edge & Jericho would've worked better if Long had made it into a Tag Turmoil match and they were the last team to enter. You knew they'd win so I didn't think the match had any drama.
I used the 3 Stages Of Hell as an oppertunity to get some sleep. Could've been good, could've been bad. I'll have to wait for the DVD.
I didn't watch the PPV or any of the matches yet but I'm honestly really happy about Edge/Jericho winning the tag belts. I personally think it's awesome and I'm glad this means that Edge will (hopefully) be out of the WHC picture for awhile now so Punk can continue on with Hardy and hopefully some other opponents like maybe Undertaker when he comes back.
Opener was a lot of fun, though the Scramble stip isn't one that's ever going to produce anything memorable or worth a rewatch. Plus Dreamer is just sooo dead average in the ring these days.
IC title match was REAL good, but I'm sure you're all wel aware of that. Loved the finish.
Ziggler/Khali was actually pretty decent, though I really do not want to see Kane vs Khali in any form. Hopefully Ziggler shoots up the ranks now.
Tag match was interesting. I still think Edge is a worthless sack of shit, and Jericho is getting kinda stale, but the idea of a new Two Man Powertrip atleast has my intention. The booking of Smackdown is really good, even though I dislike a lot of the wrestlers there. I felt kind of bad for Priceless and Colons, they were actually doing some decent work in the ring, but it was just typical Edge nonsense where it's all meaningless filler until the big swerve at the end. Edge coming in an doing tht awful comedy spot was cringeworthy considering they were meant to be serious heels screwing people over. I expect Rey/Morrison vs Edge/Jericho fued now. Could be interesting.
Divas match was standard awful pissbreak shit. Garbage. I really wish they had give that time to Punk and Hardy. Speaking of which, everything up until the finish was PERFECT. If I was fantasy booking that match, that's exactly how I would have wanted them to work it. I even liked the HBK-level chain wrestling because of the PURE TENSION and struggle between them. Hardy is at his best when working from underneath and was really good in it. Punk's ring positioning for the false finish was bad, he obviously wasn't under the rope, but it was a great idea that added so much drama and heat to it. Punk really needs to work stiffer for his faux-MMA crap to look good, but otherwise this could have EASILY been both mens best match in years if they had given it a proper finish and heel turn. The timing was perfect for them to pull the trigger and they didn't and the whole post-match stuff was fun but really not what they needed to do. They should have had Hardy kick out of all of Punk's big moves including the GTS, then had a "what the fuck do I have to do?" moment and have Punk attack the ref for the DQ. They really needed to pull the trigger and they didn't, so I was kinda disspointed in it, though I really hope they have more matches together.
Cena vs Miz... Oh dear. I remember Tom saying "Cena won't squash him". lolhindsight. The sad thing is Miz actually looked like a quality wrestler on offence. What a load of shit that was though, all that build up just for Cena to bury him. And it was a burial, Cena figuratelive flicking his heels over Miz while King and Cole laugh like morons was the equivelant of them tattooing "JOBBER" on Miz's forehead.
They had the chance to create a star and they chose to bury him in favour of more Cena-falatio. Good job WWE.
Trips/Orton was so bad I almost had nightmares about how awful their HIAC will be.
The first half of the PPV was good but as it has been with the last few PPV's it seems as if the PPV's are good until Raw steps onto them.
ECW Scramble match - Pretty fun match tbh. Didn't expect Dreamer to win it though . My money was on either Swagger or Christian to take the belt.
Jericho V Rey - Easily the best match on the night. Didn't see their match at JD but i heard it was good. Saw their match at Extreme rules though & that was good so i had high hopes for this match & this match lived up to my hopes. All match long i was hoping for a Jericho win & have Mysterio take of the mask even though i knew it wasn't gonna happen lol. Also great Still great match from these two.
Khali V Ziggler - Didn't expect much from this match didnt get much from this match. Kane interfering was random as hell as well. The last thing we need is another feud between Khali & Kane. There last feud was terrible.
Tag Team title match - Match wern't to bad tbh. Kinda obvious that Once Jericho & edge got put into the match that they was gonna win but that ain't to bad i guess. Was hoping for a Legacy win so they could look like an actually dominant stable. By the looks of it though legacy aint gonna last to long as there was signs of a break up after the match was over.
Melina V McCool - Didn't think this match was to bad tbh. Not happy that Michelle won it would've much preferred Melina to retain. True say i didn't even want this match to be on the card. If there was going to be a divas match on the card i would've preferred it to be Mickie V Maryse instead. Oh well. Typical diva match really.
Punk V Hardy - Pretty decent match right here. loved the ending of it though. Seems like the WWE are still going on the "so close but not quite there yet" kinda angle with Hardy. Pretty sure all the Hardy Marks came over there keyboards when they heard his music & thought he won & i'm pretty sure all the Hardy haters where pretty damned pissed before they realised the Ref was saying No . Still nice ending to the match & me like many others are loving the slow heel turn from Punk.
Miz V Cena - at this match. Pretty much everyone was expecting a lot more from this match. But in the end Miz just pretty much got squashed. I do feel that WWE missed out on a chance to make Miz a star here but he's young & WWE will have many other opportunities to make something of him. I don't think the Cena/Miz feud is over just yet.
HHH V Orton - By this point it was around 3am & i was pretty damn tired so i didn't pay a lot of attention to this match. Plus i couldn't really care less about this feud like many people. Anyway like most of their other matches this one wasn't all that great. Plus by the looks of the ending this feud isn't over yet. Greattttt
Anyway pretty decent PPV. Started off good but once again Raw's side of things brought it down.
I was absolutely loving it until Miz/Cena. Scramble match was a lot of fun, IC was gold, tag title swerve was fantastic. Ziggler Khalia was good and it's an interesting way to bring Kane back, meaning Ziggler can be seperated off for another feud. Ziggler Mysterio or Ziggler Morrison? Cannot believe Miz got squashed. Ugh. Skipped through Trips and Orton, couldn't be doing with it.

Wow. A hell of a lot of hating for what is possible the best PPV this year thus far.
ECW Scramble was a lot of fun and had the right result. If I was going to complain about it, then I'd say that they could have at least had the match end a different way to the very first Scramble match (which was also for the ECW Title match) but it was a small complaint considering the quality of the match, given those involved in it.
Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho for the IC belt was match of the year thus far. Their best match together (during this fued at least) and was perfect bell-to-bell.
Khali/Ziggler was a lot of fun and helped push Ziggler up the card, as well as open him to a new fued, thanks to the interference by Kane... However, can someone explain why Kane interfered? That made zero sense and wasn't really necessary, but at least it ends the fued well for Ziggler.
I liked the way Priceless and The Colons made every effort to avoid Edge and Jericho's part of the ring, so as to make sure they weren't given an opportunity to win the belts. The two young teams put on a good showing, wearing each other out for Edge to take another golden opportunity to steal gold and make it mean something. I doubt they'll hold the belts long, and the possibility of them fueding with both young teams involved here is great. I also loved Dibiase blowing up on Orton after the match.
Even I have to admit that Melina/McCool was solid, and easily McCool best performance to date, but that by no means excuses her winning the Women's Title. She looked like a complete dick (and I don't mean heelish, I mean goofy) holding the belt. Melina looked great, but Tommy pointed out to me on MSN that McCool won the majority of their interactions before The Bash, which does make Melina look somewhat chumpish... Which is another strike against McCool winning.
CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy was decent, although for some reason I couldn't really get into it properly. I loved the psychology employed by Punk, and his facial expression, pure heel without actually turning. I also disagree with Steve, I think his positioning for the false finish was perfect and his foot was obviously under the rope. The one thing I did dislike about the finish was that Hardy got in a bunch of offence and Punk did nothing to retaliate, even when the referee's were holding Jeff back... However, Punk's continual smiling made up for that. He's playing it smart, and the heel turn is obviously coming, it's just slow burning and will be all the more sweeter when it finally happens.
I was pissed at Cena at the begining of his match with The Miz as he no sold a lot of offence, but it was then pointed out to me that Cena is of a much higher level than Miz and shouldn't be made weak by selling too much of The Miz's low level shots. This was proven right when Miz used the ropes to get the upper hand in the match. Yes, Cena won. Yes, the kicking of the dirt was annoying. But The Miz has benefitted. His profile has been raised, and as long as he is booked well from here on in, I'm happy with the match.
BOREFEST 3000 was entertaining in parts, but mostly because I was surrounded by people taking the piss out of both participants and laughing when either used shit offence (Randy ramming HHH's head into the stretchers padding, ooooh vicious) or when someone looked to have actually hurt themselves (Randy falling off the stretcher after he and Trips had surfed down the ramp and he landed on his ass bone and looked in real pain). I was hugely disappointed in it for many reasons; first, Triple H walked away (please God, give that man a career ending knee injury, soon) second, Dibiase didn't turn on Orton and cost him the Title, leading to a fresh fued for both Orton and Triple H, and third, Triple H's magic hammer forward planning.
Overall, this was possibly WWE's best PPV of the year (Backlash or Judgement Day are contenders however) and I think it bodes well for the future... Except for Kane/Khali and the continuing Triple H/Randy Orton fueds.
