CW Title Match
One of the better CW matches recently, it had a lot of nice flowing mat work, a few innovative maneuvers, and the Red Bomb!!! (marks out) Nice to see Nidia get unblind. Bobby Heenan would have delivered a classic line when she took her glasses off, though. Anyway, definitely a cool match.

Royal Rumble 1994 Deja Vu
I think that was the year Hogan got eliminated then pulled Sid Justice out with him. This time, Cena goes out, then pulls out Big Show with him. Finally they restart this feud!

Cena cutting off Heyman
Cena flirts with Dawn, then Heyman comes in with a big ethical speech, and Cena brushes him with "Okay, okay, buzzkill!" That was just funny. Had the crowd laughing too.

Chavo/Eddie
It's nice that they drew the feud to a close while still allowing the possibility of continuing it later. Basically, they didn't end an angle with a crappy confused ending where people don't know who's better... etc... for once. In retrospect, that whole feud was actually pretty good and didn't hurt Eddie anywhere as much as I'd feared.

Angle's Subtle Heel Turn
He's getting frustrated. Twice, he's been one of the last men in the Rumble and lost. Obviously he wants that title, and chances are that he's going to grow jealous of Eddie, who eliminated him to win the title shot. He'll probably start doing the "after all I've done for you bit" and then screw Eddie at NWO, saying if he doesn't get a shot, neither can Eddie. However, I like the slow, methodical, and realistic pace of this heel turn.


One question: Will they follow the "who took out Eddie" storyline, or was that just to stack the odds against Eddie? If it was a one-time thing, it was pretty sad. If they do reveal it, I'm intrigued... unless it was Lesnar, who has absolutely no reason to attack Eddie.
