Carlito looked real good until the end of that ladder match. There were some nice bumps/spots in there. The ladder backracker and his ladder bumps looked PAINFUL. Also? the Springboard onto the wobbly ladder? BALLSY. That back-cracker did look painful. A good spot in an otherwise decent TV ladder match.

Work-wise, Jeff and Carlito. Mark-wise, Battle Royal. this

A good spot in an otherwise decent TV ladder match. Considering there wasn't a fued to build it up and they had to keep Jeff fresh for Sunday, it was way less one sided than expected. Having Carlito sidestep all of the usual pitfalls in ladder matches, and seemingly being one step ahead of Jeff until the finish was pretty kickass. Maybe the "newz" that WWE wants to show Carlito they don't want him to leave isn't BS, and Carlito looked like he was out there to impress.

I was waiting for the "and Skinner!" line repeated from the first Royal Rumble. I didn't get it but loved it anyways

I liked those moments, but in a collective hole, its still only a decent match. Then again, considering those circumstances...I can see your point.

Battle Royal for the sheer fun factor. Seeing Scotty FINALLY hit the worm after the past few years of getting interupted makes this segment great.

I know the battle royale was "fun" despite almost every elimination being botched, but keep in mind the weekly winners will face off for match of the month, and then year. Don't vote so dramatically for this when it won't hold up. The great thing about battle royals like this is not the match, it's the entrances (which have their own video up at WWE.com actually) and marking out for whoever comes out for the largely unhyped match. As a battle royal, it was awful, and if it was a current WWE stars match I'd complain as loudly as anyone, but it's a gimmick/nostalgia match.........that makes up for any wrestling bleep-ups.

It's always Jeff Hardy because he's ACTUALLY wrestling and putting on an entertaining match. The other matches are either boring or god awful drek. That 15 man battle royal last night was nostalgic fun but in no way entertaining or match of the night.

Battle royal. Too many mark out moments in one segment. Nothing can beat that.
