HBK/Undertaker encounter was pretty solid. Orton is one of my favorites so I rarely turn away from a match of his, and that remained constant last night. The magician stuff was absolute garbage. The Triple H/Sheamus encounter was good, and I definitely like the direction they are going where Triple sees Sheamus on a path similar to the one he traveled. I also thought Sheamus slowly backing away from Triple H after Trips essentially laid out the 'Mania challenge was a great sort of "mind game" move and I thought he sold it well. The main event was what it was; silly in regards to established rules for matches of that type, but of course from a story perspective, he's the Chairman, so in reality he makes the rules. It got accomplished what it needed to and was pretty fast paced. I can't say I hated it. Cena beat down for 10 minutes, even with occasional Super Cena antics, is usually a check in the win column.
As for TNA, the segments I tuned in to were bits and pieces of the first five minutes, the Triple Threat X division match, Velvet Skye's ass, RVD's return and subsequent beat down, thirty seconds of Jeff Jarrett, and then the very end of the main event. It was different to say the least. I said it before earlier, but it was real sad watching Hogan slowly moving around that ring. It's different watching Flair because I feel like he's been old like that forever so he really has no shame, but it was rough watching Hogan. Especially his bleedfest.
Despite that triple threat, which had some pretty sick spots, I'm going with RAW today.
