Edge is on the poster for Backlash so could be a hint as what'll be happening.
This year's WM was very hit and miss. Matches seemed to be a little short and slow except for the two main title matches and MITB.
HBK/Cena had higher expectations for but I did find myself abusing the crap out of Cena in the last 5 mins of the match everytime he came close to winning. Would have been great to see HBK win, but I can see why Cena is still champ. He gets a reaction no matter where he wrestles. People love him or hate him with a passion either way. He will always be a top drawcard and Vince has made the smart decision keeping him champ.
Taker winning was awesome. I had chills throughout that whole match. Even Fatista didn't put on a bad showing himself.
MVP/Benoit had the makings of another "Angle v Benoit" from WM17 at the start but then fizzled a bit. Shocked and disappointed they finished with the diving headbutt.
Kane/Khali - after MITB had no expectations. Was a little better than I thought it would be.
Melina/Ashley - sucked worse than Trish v Christy Hemme at WM21. Ashley shouldn't be in there. Hopefully Beth Phoenix makes her comeback soon and adds to the list of women who can actually wrestle. So far only Mickie and Victoria (Melina to an extent. Candice is getting there). They should let Jillian do her full capacity of wrestling. Have seen her perform a 450 splash of the top rope - why oh why can't they let her do it. Hopefully TNA will let her if she goes there sometime.
New Breed / ECW Originals - a match I was looking forward to, mainly due to the NB (especially Burke, Thorn... oh and Ariel
). This bit the big one. An 8 man tag that lasted a whole 6 MINUTES!! Ridiculous. And itwasn't even a fast paced 6 mins either.
Lashley/Umaga - Can't stand Lashley. Match was ok. Good to see Lashley got a few boos from the crowd. Umaga was the highlight. Please oh please don't ever let Trump speak in the WWE again. His "forceful" words made me cringe. Come to think of it, it was fitting he chose Lashley - they're both sh*t with a mic in their hands. At least he got stunned - even if it was severely botched
MITB - AWESOME!!!! Kennedy winning it was the best way to start off the show, especially his rolling reverse samoan drop to the Little Bastard off the ladder. Orton's RKO to Punk off the ladder was another highspot. Hardy is suicidal. Never been a big fan of his. The move didn't get a huge reaction out of me but the ladder snapping sure did. Why couldn't he have done that move on Matt instead of Edge???
It would be nice to see if a Punk v Kennedy feud comes out of this match, like what happened two yrs ago with Edge and Benoit.
