I liked SD more than RAW this week, not sure if that shows that SD was really good or that RAW was horrible.
Anyway, I didn't find a lot of stuff to complain about.
Cena-BT was good stuff, I agree that Cena is too childish in his promos, but I think he's just following orders, and he's over, so what can you do? Nice build to the GAB match with 4 weeks to go.
Eddie-B Brian Basham was fun. I didn't mind Eddie cheating in the match, because well, thats his gimmick. Good showcase of Eddie.
The Chavos are awesome together, and Classic looked alright in the ring. Nice spot with paying off the "experienced" women.
Bikini deal was entertaining, Jamie Noble is funny, and who wouldn't enjoy Ms Jackie dripping wet?
Mordecai promo was just kinda there, I thought they would go further. I hear on house shows he's been talking about gay people, and how thats worng and what not. It'll be interesting to see if they go that route on TV.
Dupree-Rey was too short, I'd like to see them get more time, but what can you do. I'm also not sure about Dupree losing again, but it wasn't decisive, so maybe it'll be alright. But he could really use a big win sometime soon.
JBL cut another strong promo. I'm not a fan of the idea of a Bull Rope Match, but Bradshaw made it sound really brutal, they put over the NO DQ stip, so they got th epoint across that Eddie is a major underdog with the injuries. For all the negativity we hear about Bradshaw, he does cut an effective promo. Now, do people take him seriously as a main eventer? I dont think so, but he can cut a promo.
Main event was good as well. It wasn't HBK-Benoit or anything, but they did their thing, I liked Taker's bump off the top rope. And the cliffhanger was good enough to get people to come back next week.
So overall, the show gets a thumbs up from me. Maybe its because the show has been so bad, but I dont think thats it. Actually, I think now that the fans are getting used to some of the new talent in their new spots, the shows have been getting better and better. Hopefully that continues through the summer.
CyNick out.
