Alienoid's Armageddon Analysis

[Dave Youell]

Overall I thought it was a decent show.

Agree that I think it’s the Major Brothers, good that they get to do something (hopefully), although I was laughing at the thought of 3 Edge’s, I kept humming the doink the clown tune, ahhh good times

The HBK match surprised me for 2 reasons. The first being that Michaels seemed to control most of the match, which is strange for a face, the second being that Kennedy didn’t look out of his depth and his selling was really good, it was almost like a roll reversal, I think Kennedy is going to need a face turn soon, I have no interest in him as a heel right now, there’s too much stuff that’s gone on behind the scenes that makes me care about him, a face turn could freshen things up.

I’m pleased Jeff got the win, the crowd were going to be split when it’s face/face and all it proved was that HHH is more over than Hardy, there were a few ‘urgh’ moments with some missed headlocks and dodgy looking whips, but nothing too bad, can’t see Jeff getting a win, but it’s a good start.

I agree about the face turn. I still maintain that Edge vs. Mr. Kennedy is the match SmackDown! should be offering for the World Heavyweight Championship. All is not lost for it. You just have Edge show up on RAW, as a guest of Randy Orton's, and the two do some Rated-RKO crap together, and Edge talks about how great it is that he is now the World Heavyweight Champion again. Mr. Kennedy then comes out, demands to be thanked because it was his MITB title shot that allowed Edge to get the win, and Edge just laughs at Kennedy. Things heat up a little, and Kennedy wants a WHT match since the Champion is on his show. Edge then says that Kennedy can get a shot when he comes back to SmackDown!, which won't be for a while. Kennedy can then win the Royal Rumble, or something, and jump to SmackDown! and feud with Edge heading into WrestleMania.

The WWE were planning to have Kennedy become a World Champion at either WrestleMania XXIV or earlier (earlier actually being more likely), and I really don't see what has changed. Kennedy is not as hot a commodity as he used to be, but a lot of that has been because of injuries and suspensions. Randy Orton was suspended this year, fuck, Edge was suspended at the same time as Kennedy. That should not be held against him as a performer.
