Yeah, I gotta agree with the sentiment of a "not too bad" kind of show. Nothing was downright awful. HHH/Swagger was decent. I think this is at least the second time Swagger got a chance to look good against a top guy (also against Cena before IIRC). HBK/Orton wasn't too bad either, and the finish definitely helps HBK along his way towards completely losing his mind. I'm not sure how that exactly translates to a match with Taker at WM. I mean does HBK snap out of it once he finally gets the match? Or does he continue on a downward spiral? At the very least, this is a different run to WM for him. Usually he just randomly decides to fight someone or go heel or whatever for a few weeks. While he kind of started out that way again this year, the frustration/insanity angle is a little more interesting to me. Cena/Rhodes was nothing thrilling. I like how, yet again, Cena gets the pin. For some strange reason though, I was actually feeling Cena tonight. Maybe it was because he wasn't so over the top. He was much more scaled back in how he played to the crowd. I guess I liked that. I don't quite know how I feel about that though. Didn't like Kofi/Show much. Kofi stumbling around falling off ropes messed it all up for me. And I completely missed what happened with the screwy ending so I was just lost after the match. Dibiase/Henry was also less than exciting. But at least we have our setup for Orton/Dibiase for WM. I liked Shatner a lot tonight. I have no idea why. I don't generally like him at all, but the dramatic readings of lyrics and the little "match negotiator" graphic made me laugh. He apparently fully embraces the fact that he is the punchline to a lot of jokes. Good for him. LOVED Edge tonight. Not totally over the top. Nice shades of gray in his character. It's been discussed more in the TNA threads, but I think those tweener characters are a lot more interesting than your standard face/heel stuff. Just leaves a lot more doors open for a character when he/she doesn't have to only fight certain people because of being a face or heel. Lol'd at the Jericho/TMZ comment too. Nice! I really hate seeing Vince's face. I hate his silly walk. I hate his voice. So apparently he is a great character, because if he sucked I wouldn't care about any of that. He even makes me care about Bret who, excellence of execution over a decade ago aside, is boring as fuck when he isn't wrestling. I guess the inclusion of Batista is fine, since it'll then set up Batista/Cena for WM. Kind of kills two birds with one stone. Did I miss anything else with Maryse/Gail/Kelly^2? That whole interaction was a little odd. I mean not just odd like it was supposed to be, but odd in unintended ways. Maryse trying to speak in English and not be a bitch just doesn't work. As soon as she started parle-vouzing she kicked back into bitch mode and was way more comfortable and interesting. Any idea what the hell she said? Can't really think of much more. The more I typed the less I liked the show. Again, not awful or anything. There was some nice progression in stories. And I especially like that the EC match is already set rather than stringing it out until the very end. But I wasn't overly engrossed with much of anything. I kind of paid attention most of the time but drifted off as well. I'll go with a [b]2.6[/b] just to lean slightly more towards the positive.
