HOGAN WINS!

 

I was skeptical about this match going in but Shawn bumped like crazy for Hogan, great psychology.

 

A few downspots to this ppv but plenty of good matches to make up for the bad.

Shawn extends the handshake...

 

Hogan accepts the handshake.

 

Not to cool about that, I'd rather have Shawn as a heel

HBK was absolutely brilliant tonight

I thought the ppv was meh.

 

Ladder match didn't deliver for me (those doods are waaay too big for that stuff now). Some good spots, but Eddie's wife interfering? WTF!?

 

The only match I skipped was Orton/Taker because I didn't care at all. My favorite of the night was Dave/JBL. I didn't dig the Michaels/Hogan match that much. I marked out, but it wasn't the classic his other last matches had been.

Bah, even some of Hogan's biggest critics gave the match it's due. Wade Keller of the torch gave it 4 1/4*. Even if you thought it was just an ok match it's still a miracle that Hogan was able to pull that out, granted HBK deserves a huge raise for how much he bumped and carried Hogan.

I liked the PPV a lot.

 

I don't watch Smackdown so Benoit pwning Jordan didn't bother me, I thought it was awesome.

 

The ladder match was off the hook, the storyline stuff didn't bother me. We had the Dominic sighting count going (over 25 cuts to him :thumbup ) and he added an unintentional comedy factor to go along with a very good match.

 

Orton-Taker was really good. Whenever Taker has matches where he's the one selling and taking the offense, they're 10 times better. He just has a boring moveset. He made Orton look awesome.

 

Didn't see JBL-Batista...um, Dave's entrance was good.

 

As for the Raw matches, the ones I care about:

 

Edge-Matt ending was lame, but the match itself was good and they made Edge look like a badass, which is what I wanted.

 

Eugene-Angle was a quality match, the crowd just crapped on Eugene pretty hard. They set up Angle's run at Cena very well.

 

Cena-Jericho was exactly what I expected it to be. Cena's not a world class worker, but he does what he does well. Jericho's game has been on in the ring lately, so the match came together well. Still, this time off will be good for Y2J, he's pretty stale.

 

And Hogan-HBK was a classic. Loved every minute of it.

 

 

There was a time when HBK jobbing, the bad Matt-Edge ending, and all that storyline nonsene in the ladder match would have pissed me off, but I don't take this stuff as seriously anymore. I wanted to be entertained and they entertained me.
