SD was better than it has been in recent weeks. I like how they are going to try to make Taker a sort of "anti-heel", where he is doing heel things, but he doesn't really WANT to do them (or something like that). Something is giving me a bad feeling about this Live Free Or Die match that is being set up. Of course, the Buried Alive match more or less is a similar concept. But if the Taker's anti-heel gimmick works (and it's looking like it will be), we could eb looking at a Taker vs. Eddie program in the near future, maybe for Summerslam....HOPEFULLY!!
JBL's promo was good, too. I remember, during the Attitude era, the WWE took advantage of bad press that their stars got (remember when Wal Mart removed Al Snow's action figure because they thought his manniquin head reffered to a SEVERED one? They made that into an angle for a few weeks). This is what that reminded me of. Instead of whining and trying to cover it up, albiet a little bit misinformative of what EXACTLY happened that caused the bad press, they took it to their advantage to just FURTHER the gimmick. I thought this was an EXCELLENT job by the WWE to do this, and I wish they would do this more often when they DO get bad press.
Rey winning the Cruiser title was good, but does this mean we have to see countless MORE Rey vs. Chavo matches again? Does the WWE actually think those two are the only Cruiserweights on the whole ROSTER or something? The Dudley's winning the tag titles were something I could've lived without, but it could further the power-hungry Heyman angle along.
Luther Raines was somewhat impressive, but was too short to do him any justice, and too much of a jobber opponent (unfortunatly) in Funaki to boot.Give him a tougher opponent who could work a good match with him and we'll see what he can do. Suzuki was impressive once more, and, as always, I like his style, apperance, intensity,....AND HIS GIRL!! Oh my F'N GOD, is she EVER hot. But as much as I really want more info about his girl (and how she can become mine :love: ), I want to see an actual, full match with Mordecai that much more. Can they actually give him a televised match that he can actually use his REAL abilities instead of having to be rushed out there at the last minute?
But a pretty good show notherless, as it had seemed to improved last week, as well. Maybe SD is starting to gain back some of it's ground again, or at least started to find something that works with what they got right now. Maybe having the Undertaker back really DOES boost morale, since the show itself has improved.
