The show opens up with Edge in the ring saying that he wasn’t the one to blame! He wants everyone to know that Jeff Hardy shouldn’t have an excuse to lose, and that prompted Matt Hardy to run to the ring and charge! He chased Edge right outside the ring and through the crowd, the show cut to commercial.
Good opening, I like where this is going.
The Undertaker defeated Shelton Benjamin
This match was all Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin was fighting with everything he had, and Undertaker was just taking punishment left and right. We’re talking superplexes, ddt reversals, big high spots, and everything that was in the Benjamin arsenal was thrown at Undertaker, and it just wasn’t enough. Benjamin got locked up in a triangle choke hold and had no choice but to tap out! He tapped out and it was all over.
The Great Khali defeated Chavo Guerrero
Did anyone think that Chavo Guerrero had a chance in this match? I didn’t. Chavo Guerrero got totally annihilated in this match up. He got worked bad, and Khali dropped him on the back of his head with the Punjabi Plunge, and won the match clean. Chavo is really not that great any longer.
The Bella Twins vs. Michelle McCool & Natalya No Contest
This match was odd. Maria jumped down the ramp and fought off McCool for a sec. The match got thrown out. I didn’t really know what happened, and it was lame. A waste of time.
Jeff Hardy was interviewed by Jim Ross, and Jeff blames Edge for everything that has been happening. Edge claims he didn’t do it, we’ll see where this ends up.
Edge defeated Matt Hardy in a No DQ match
This match was actually really cool. It was a no disqualification match up and it turned out to be quite the match. The two wrestlers were throwing everything at each other, and it was great. We saw chairs, trash cans, and even a kendo stick used in this hard, heavy hitting match up. Edge was on his way to another loss at the hands of Matt Hardy, but out came Mark Henry! Henry was taken down by Matt Hardy, but after hitting the twist of fate on Edge, Matt Hardy was attacked by Jack Swagger! Hardy got dismantled very hard, by Mark Henry and Jack Swagger; prompting Edge to spear Hardy and win the match up! Matt Hardy loses a very hard fought match up.
The Miz & John Morrison defeated The Colon Brothers
We get a good tag team match for a change. However, I’m still not sure what brand Miz and Morrison is on. They are on every television show that the wwe produces, which is making me question some things over at Titan towers. The overall interest in this match was waning after the commercial, but it was a longer match than I’m used to out of the wwe. The Colon Brothers were good early on, throwing down some great tag team moves, and creating a nightmare for Miz and Morrison. However, after the hot tag to Carlito, things turned around as Carlito was showing that he can throwdown some great offense if you give him a chance. He is just so on, so fast, and perfect in the ring. His quick moves against Morrison were just amazing for a change. It wasn’t the longest set of moves, but it was just good overall. The Colon Brothers are just great, too bad they aren’t getting more competition in the tag division. I thought this thing was over after a spring board kick from Morrison to the head of Carlito, but Primo saved him! Then this thing went into near fall zone, as they kept going back and forth trying to heat the victory, but it just wasn’t going to end that way. Carlito hit the backstabber, but Miz tagged in blindly, and rolled up Carlito while he wasn’t looking for the pin! The Miz and Morrison win another match, and they are on a huge winning streak for being the World Tag team Champions. Finally, the tag division looks as good as it did when I was growing up in the 80’s.
Kozlov was scheduled to wrestle Triple H however, Vickie Guerrero decided she wanted to make this mach a handicap match and included The Big Show.
Kozlov & Big Show defeated Triple H
There’s not a whole lot to this match. Triple H was doing ok for a little while, but fighting off these two monsters proved to be way too much for The game.
