So, i watched it and thought it was ok.
JBL Vs CENA - 'C-' not bad, certainly not great. JBL kicks his arse all match, works over Cena arm all match and then Cena suddenly hits an FU and its over? Poor booking.
KANE/PUNK Vs MIZ/MORRISON - 'C+' or 'B' grade match. Was pleased to just see Miz/Morrison and the tag belts on a PPV. Miz has improved A LOT. Kane is the ECW Champion so should not be pinned, Punk will be pushed and the loss was not clean so it does not do him any real harm.
HBK Vs Y2J - 'A' grade - pissed that HBK got the win, but what ya gonna do? HBK has not turned heel and i dont think he will, seeing as he is continuing a feud with Batista and if anyone needs to turn heel its the Animal. Jericho could have done with a huge win, but it was not to be. The match was really good. They shock hands after so im guessing both are staying good guys for now.
BETH Vs MICKEY Vs MELINA - 'C+' - 'B' grade. If given longer it could have been better. The best 3 women on Raw, wish they would bring Victoria back over as she is awesome, and im strangely attracted to her...anyway...
Beth pulled of a fucking sweet move with BOTH Mickey and Melina over her shoulder in a double back breaker! Melina did the job, the only real reason she was in the match
JEFF Vs MVP - 'C+' grade - and only because they are both good workers, but the match didnt really deliver anything. Except to show that you can fuck up and still get pushed straight away on your return. MVP didnt deserve to be jobbed out.
UNDERTAKER Vs EDGE (Taker wins, not the belt though) 'B+' grade - could be a bit much having them go 3 PPVs in a row. Actually glad that the match ended with no one taking the belt. If Edge won it would have made the Mania match pointless, if Taker won it would have made the 'stripping' of the belt pointless.
Vickie got one of biggest heel reactions i have heard in a every very long time. It seems the bitch voice, the wheel chair and the snogging Edge is working on the fans.
HHH Vs ORTON - 'B-' grade - the reason for the relativley poor grade? There was a cage, and a steel chair but no blood. Thats not good common sense. The match was not that great anyway. HHH could have won by leaving the cage which would have saved Orton from looking at the lights again.
In addition, they showed Regal looking on from a private box, but he did nothing.
sucks that the IC and US titles were ignored.
