Great main event, I even liked the finish. Lets face it, anyone who is thinking logically knows that HHH is not going to drop the title anytime soon. At least with what they did HBK still looked like a hero, and at the same time HHH got to retain his title. The finish was creative, and it sets up nicely a rematch at the Royal Rumble, which if its anything like this match should end Hunter's streak of horrible PPV main events.
I dont think HBK has the title in his future, if anything I can see a match with Flair coming out of the Royal Rumble for Mania. I know their match at MSG a few weeks back got rave reviews, so maybe they'll have the big Garden rematch at Mania.
Rest of the show was decent enough.
I liked Orton's promo to start the show, I think he's showing a lot of promise, and a match with Foley could really make him a star. Match with BT was pretty good too.
Speaking of Book, looks like he's gonna be cannon fodder for Kane. I think the WWe realizes that Kane has been damaged by the fued with Shane, so they need to sacrifise a guy to build him back up so Taker can chop him down at Mania.
Women's stuff was decent, and they kept the Jerihco-Trish stuff going, although Trish could use some acting lessons.
Steiner-RVD wasn't a trainwreck which was a huge suprise to me.
I dont like Austin's new role (even though it hasn't been fully explained, which was a good idea BTW to keep people tuned in for next week) because I see where it will go which will be Austin killing everyone's credibility. And I guess Austin-McMahon is set in stone for Mania.
