After reading the reviews and taking into account my own views on the show, I truly believe WWE should refund everyone their money back for this show that was nothing more than a glorified Raw or Smackdown show. Hell this would've passed for a SNME taping especially with stuff like the 6-man bout outta nowhere and the pizza eating contest. Everything on here, with exception of the Main Event, you'd expect to see on Raw or SD! The booking was lame, in places just awful, and where the booking made sense the matches were lackluster at best.
So here we have Orton getting Orton'd in under 15 minutes, Trips becoming an 11 time champ then Orton capturing his THIRD championship? Whatever, complete BS.
So Big Daddy V is in danger of losing to Punk after 90 seconds and getting knocked down once? Lame. So Striker comes in to get BDV disqualified and that perfectly fine with BDV. He beats up Punk and leaves him for dead. Gee, think they were trying to hurt Punk in his hometown? Trips probably came up with THAT finish when they were chanting "CM Punk" before the show, y'know?
Then we got Trips beating Umaga in 7 minutes. I dont care how much of a fluke victory it was or how competitive it was, a clean finish hurts Umaga a ton and makes him seem all around inferior. This is why all the up n comers come from SD! and also why Raw is short on Main Event level talent.
Orton going over Trips was really good to see but with Orton getting involved with Trips I don't see much potential in his reign as champ, especially since hes in danger of becoming the background player to Vince and Trips, just as he was last night.
Lame lame lame, Jericho better return tonight (N)
