My brief review of taboo Tuesday, with marks out of 20 for each match and the overall PPV.
Rey Mysterio and Matt Hardy vs. Gene Snitsky and Chris masters
Surprisingly good. Masters has improved, though that's not saying much, and Snitsky wasn't as glaringly awful as I thought he would be. Rey and Matt were so obviously the better team that for Raw to wibn would have been a travesty. 7/10
Eugene and Jimmy Snuka vs. Rob Conway and Tyson Tomko
A definite dissapointment. Snuka, like most legends, was weak in the ring, and Tomko's power game was out of place. I'd pay to see a Eugene vs. Conway match, but the presence of the other two wrestlers made this match dull. 5/10
Mankind vs. Carlito
Reasonably entertaining, but dull when you bear in mind the matches Mick's had before. Carlito just doesn't have the ability or charisma to put him high on the card, and it really showed here. 6/10
Kane and Big Show vs. Cade and Murdoch
Reasonably good tag match. Kane and Show make a surprisingly good tag team, and the match here was entertaining and solid. I'm annoyed by the result, but having two major players holding the belt may bring about a Raw tag ressurection. 7/10]
Batista vs. Coach
I like Batista, but no way in hell could he make this match work. Vader and Goldust were the worst legends on the PPV, and Coach is no wrestler, as well as being a shite play-by-play commentator. 3/10
Divas Battle Royal
Not at all bad. Mickie James, Trish and Victoria carried the match, but Ashley continues to show improvement and Candice and Maria at least looked hot. I think it's about damn time Trish dropped the belt though. 7/10
Ric Flair vs. Triple H
By far and away the match of the night. Slow, but effective and extremely entertaining. Triple H's ego also seemed to have stayed away. 9/10
John Cena vs. Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels
Not a bad headliner, but Cena has started to bore me. Angle and Michaels carried the bout, and whilst Cena's ring skills aren't as bad as everyone says, he wasn;t on form tonight. 7/10
Overall Rating: Not bad, but not the best PPV of the year either. 6/10
