There's always one isn't there? It's me this month. I thought it was bloody boring, and even though we paid for it we still switched off before the end. It was no surprise that it was bad though, seems I just have more money than sense to waste on the WWE's predictable product.

Oh and I thought the booking in the HHH match was horrible.

I didn't see the show but I'm sure it sucked.

8.
Overall, the show was very good. But the boring tag title match and the Diva match brought it down a bit.

9. Awesome show. I liked every match and was legitimately surprised when Edge showed up to cost Taker the win (I figured he'd come out and confront the winner...)
The ECW Title match was a great opener. The match was packed with quick action and had the 'move of the night' with the Huricanrana/Powerbomb combo.
The Diva's match was okay. I got a phone call during it, but I got to see Kelly Kelly look half-way decent and I got to see Mickie get the win. I'm a bit disappointed that it wasn't an elimination match.
The Tag Titles Match. Code Murdoch! Unlike the Londrick/Cade and Murdoch match from a few months ago, the crowd was behind this match and, as much as people like to rag on Hardcore Holly and say that no one likes him, it seemed like the crowd was solidly behind Holly. I laughed at the crowd booing Holly for not beating up Cody after the match.
Elimination Match. I liked it. It was nice to see the only ECW guy (Big Daddy V) get to look monsterous by eliminating Kane and by causing Kennedy to get eliminated. I was a little irked that it just took a double ddt, but JR played up the impact well. I liked the match-ups between Umaga/Rey, MVP/J.Hardy, and Finlay/anyone. The match melded well and I like that it took a Pedigree/Swanton combo to put away Umaga (Unique since both of them have beaten Umaga, so they had to combine forces)
Khali/Hornswoggle. "We Want Shaq!" Made me bust out laughing. Finlay coming out to save Hornswoggle kept the smile on my face.
Michaels/Orton was amazing. I've always been iffy on saying a match has "a story" but this match gave me a good look at what that means. Michaels resorting to using moves that have defeated him in order to be Orton was great. The stutter-step/RKO at the end of the match was just sweet.
Batista/Taker. They didn't need to leave the cage to put on another great match. I don't know how come these two work so well together, but I'm glad they do. The crowd was a little dead because of the Orton/Michaels match, but they caught on to the end and were into it. So many moments where I thought the match was over and Edge showing up at the end....wow.
Bonus points for Edge coming in after the match was over to make sure Taker wouldn't sit up, via a chair.
So...yeah...I really liked it.

I liked Edge's interference because you didn't see him, you thought Taker would win then Edge would come out after the Tombstone on the steel steps but then after the 2 count the referee got dragged away and Edge went nuts. Overall I'd say a 7 or 8 for the PPV, was cool seing Jeff Hardy survive and get the final pin.

I remember hearing a "Holly!" chant around the time he was forcing Murdoch into one of the corners. I remember, because people in the AIM chat where mind-boggled that people were cheering for him. I admit, the crowd was dead near the beginning (which happened a few times), but they seemed to get into the matches in the middle or near the end.

No 7.5? Ah well, a very solid show. I'll be picking it up when it comes out on DVD.

I think it was just a small group of people near the front, but the chant was definitely there.

I gave it an 8. I liked the PPV. I'm glad they didn't have HHH being the sole guy on his team and then eliminating everyone like I thought they would do. Weird not to see Matt there, I was looking for an MVP walkout ala Honky Tonk Man. That would been fun.
Everything else was good. I liked the tag title match for the finisher that Murdock used. It was really cool looking.

8 for me. Really good show. Hell in a Cell was kind of disappointing until the final 5 or so minutes, but it turned out great. Edge looked freaking insane.
Also Jeff getting the final elimination in the Survivor Series match was an awesome move.

I gave it an 8. I think it was above avg. Hbk/Orton was great psychology and they made the stip work well. HIAC was good for about the last 1/4 of it. My problem was both guys looked exhausted from the get go. I like that Edge returned just no in the fashioin. I would have found it better if Taker had won and did his kneel pose and BOOM chair to the back of the head
