Hey, Shelton Benjamin working with Taker can only be a good thing. It doesn't seem likely that Taker would work with the guy, especially after working the match he did at WrestleMania, if he didn't enjoy working with the guy. When you have Taker's backing, you're going to be alright.
But yeah, the card sounds like a mess. Jeff Hardy is, by default, one of SmackDown!'s biggest stars. The WWE could have had him pull and upset victory. Hardy drilling Show with like three Swanton Bombs after somehow getting the big man down could have been pretty epic.
You don't even read who went over in the Maryse vs. Gail Kim match, but truthfully, I think both girls needed a win. I'd have gone with Gail Kim vs. Michelle McCool, or something. Maryse could have stolen a victory so that when Ziggler beat MVP, it meant something going over a departing champion.
John Morrison going over R-Truth is alright with me, because Morrison is fucking Morrison. That guy just needs to be steadily pushed, and losing to R-Truth shouldn't really be on his to-do list.
I don't get why Randy Orton and Triple H would be on SmackDown!. Fuck, maybe the WWE is planning to move Legacy over to SmackDown!? People say that Orton will win the WWE Title at Backlash, and SmackDown! needs a World Title. But with Edge, Jericho and Orton being the best three heels in the WWE, that kind of leaves RAW in the wind. Unless they really want to push Matt Hardy, Big Show and The Miz.
Ziggler going over MVP makes sense if Dolph is going to be on SmackDown! and MVP isn't. I'm looking forward to that match, actually. Both MVP and Ziggler are great talents with personalities to them.
I don't see why RAW guys would main event a SmackDown! show. Makes me wonder if something is up with Legacy. Batista going over is the right call, though.
