Goin to Raw Monday got me pumped up a bit...so it was nice that it was a big 4 ppv that I usually buy coming up yesterday, since I probably would have had to make it 5 per year that I get. There might have been a lot of obvious last night, but at least it was the correct-type of obvious. It really was a tale of two sides last night. The SS matches were all about the future (outside of Finlay - "Look the 10 Superstars of the Future in that ring!"...something like that -- Jerry Lawler), and the individual matches were about the main event stars. In the first match, they gave Shameus and McIntyre their first real PPV highlights as both looked good...as well as giving Miz his truely first major win. I found it a bit questionable to eliminate Ziggler if they were going to do it this way, but I'm guessing after the 30th loss to Morrison on Friday, he's moving back on down the ladder. All together it was a nice opener that got more time than I would have thought. Bats/Rey was more of a continuation of an angle than a match, as we've seen them have better matches on a Smackdown than here. I know he got stretchered, but I'm not convinced this is the way they are putting out Rey for his surgery. I feel like there is still another part to this, and maybe we're reading into the TLC a little too much as a main event match and not a theme. What if they use each part as a gimmick in certain matches? Bats use of a chair last night can set the table for a chairs match against Rey next month that could be fun, until he really fucks up Rey in a more convincing way, and also allows him to get a bigger win over Taker at Rumble. I'll be shocked if they are going Taker/Bats in a straight ahead TLC match next month already. The Kofi/Orton SS match was booked quite well. Leaving it as Christian/Kofi v. Punk/Orton was fun for while it lasted, and letting Kofi get the quick and shocking win over Punk and Orton like he did didn't hurt either one in the least, allowed Orton not to have an entire month of Kofi dominating him, and really really really set up Kofi for a huge match with Orton next month. Smackdown TT was nice. These matches usually allow Show to shine a little more than usual because he doesn't have to be included in every part of the match. Jericho and Taker definitely have a good chemistry going. I was fine with Taker going over here because it allows Jericho to whine that he wasn't the one to take the loss and opens some possibilities...more on that later though. Divas SS match...people should take my opinion on women's matches as strongly as I take TNA fan's criticism of WWE workrate...I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy a women's match truely again. But while I'm commenting, I might as well add that I'm more offended with the finish of the match more than the stupid ass skit with Mickie and McCool on Smackdown. Mickie had to get the revenge pin there. Melina made no sense. Cena v. DX...the pop of the crowd and Cena's reaction after HBK superkicked HHH were amazing. [i][Side note: even after these years, isn't the Superkick still one of those moves that no matter how many times you've seen it, still gets you excited each and every time?][/i] The spots were nice, but nothing special. I'm fine with the ending, although they didn't exactly foreshadow anything. HHH has to at least react in some way tonight otherwise I'm going to think he's been neutered. Any version of HHH would have fucked up HBK for screwing him out of the title as he did last night. And a neutered HHH isn't much of a HHH anyone will want to watch anymore. Now coming off the PPV, there's a few directions they can go with the main event scene. I'd almost be just as interested in seeing some sort of return matches next month even if people are craving main event movement. They have to first decide what they are doing with Jericho at Wrestlemania. They have two big feuds they can do between now and then and I figure one's going to start now and one then. They can either do the big DX v. Jerishow feud, or they can set up Jericho v. Taker (at this point, I'm under the assumption Edge will not be ready by April). DX v. Jerishow for the titles in a TLC is almost strange enough for me to want to see. Of course, this means that we get Batista/Taker TLC if the rules are what they are (unless Punk is pushed up again). I think the move is Jericho/Taker since Edge/Taker worked out very well. That leaves something like this that I'd be fine with: Taker/Jericho HHH/HBK/Cena Bats/Rey Grudge match Kofi/Orton (maybe even a #1 contenders contact TLC match...and let Kofi get the Jeff Hardy treatment and give him the usual forgotten Rumble title match just to dip his feet in the waters) Punk/R-Truth(or if they are somewhat creative...Punk/Christian) Miz v. Swagger (v. Bourne?) for the U.S. Title. Morrison v. McIntyre for the I.C. Random Divas match. 8 matches...gimmick matches at least having some reason for existing (unlike Punk/Taker HitC), and an undercard with actual back story. Yeah, we see a lot of the same matches, but its different enough and fresh enough that I think this would be a really good card.
