Back to my half-arsed reviews. Groovy.
Keep in mind that Raw jumped channels here and now I don't get it until Friday.
First thought (these aren't in order)... they are so fucking close to the Jericho face turn.They've teased it before then pulled the rug out, but I think it could really work. Listen to the cheers he got when he ran out to save Trish. Man, I almost cried near the end when she came to his dressing room seconds after he'd left.
While on this topic... Mark Henry matches=boring, Jericho matches=rockitude. Interesting to see how this one turns out.
Turned out it was actually a pretty damn good match. I just about jumped out of my seat when Jericho finally locked in the Walls after playing underdog for most of the match. I felt personally cheated when the knocked out ref missed it and Jericho was screwed out of the win. It's rare for a match to get such an emotional response out of me.
Watching Jericho know he was outmuscled and desperately trying to use his speed and agility against Henry was great. I realised that one of the things I like about Y2J matches is that they never look one-sided. He always makes it seem as if either guy could legitimately win.
What else happened? Um... Triple H and Michaels talked for ages. Whatever. Were it not for the Coach, that bit would have been a complete and total waste of my time, as opposed to almost a complete and total waste of my time. The Coach rocks my world. Put him on the commentary team. His guest commentary at the start was fantastic. "Somebody turn up my mic! Matt couldn't hear me!"
Goldberg whooped Matt Hardy. It's interesting to see him accepted as a face now after the apathetic reception he received when he first came to WWE.
You know what's funny? Evolution would be more entertaining if they were monkeys. Think about that one for a moment.
I wish Scott Steiner would fall off something and break his neck. Or if he doesn't want to go through the pain of a broken neck... just fucking die.
Booker T got hisself whupped by Kane. But I see the start of an entertaining feud. Put them in a "loser has to find himself a better fucking gimmick or retire, and the winner has to be Booker T" style match. I like Booker. Kane is a fat man who can't act. He can't even act angry, and that's all he does.
What else happened...? Um... lessee here... Austin chased some people around on a 4 wheeler. That was kind of funny.
Orton versus RVD was actually quite a good match. Orton is starting to impress. This could be a solid IC title angle, if done well. They're both talented in the ring, and are capable of some kickass matches together.
