To me, the two most interesting things about this was Paul London using the London Calling (best Shooting Star Press in the business, in my opinion), and CM Punk doing commentary (which will be awesome).
Would it have been too much to ask to give Kane the pin over JTG? I understand they are having Kane soak up punishment before he goes back to the mask, but Kane is going to need a little steam, and if you're putting the heels over, you might as well give the fall to the guy who needs it the most.
The Great Khali going over Jimmy Wang Yang made sense. Yang failed a wellness test, so him taking a fall is reasonable, and the WWE Title match is only one of three matches confirmed for Summerslam, and Triple H couldn't be there to promote it.
The main event raises some questions. Why this match? I would have preferred The Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & MVP. Vickie is not a fan of either Edge or MVP at the moment, so putting them against one of the greatest tag teams of all-time would have made sense. Matt could have gotten the pin on Edge to look good heading into Summerslam where he challenges for the ECW Title, and the gongs could have gone off on Edge to promote Hell in a Cell. Mark Henry could have attacked Matt Hardy after the match, and Jeff Hardy and MVP could brawl to build to the feud I guess the WWE wants them to have.
Or, so that there would be a "big star" on the show, the WWE could have just gone with a six-man tag, and put The Undertaker and The Hardys over Mark Henry, Edge and MVP. If the WWE needed a singles match, Chris Jericho could have jobbed to CM Punk in a World Heavyweight Title match with Shawn Michaels attacking after the match, creating interest there. I mean, better that than the Jenny McCarthy shit.
