There have been better shows, but this show certainly wasn't a stinker. Every match served its purpose. Carlito and Flair was a good opener, with the crowd getting right into it at the end.
3 on 1 wasn't much, but it wasn't supposed to be either. It was more about the fact Lashley was screwed (and deservingly so) out of once again stinking up our screens as the ECW chump.
Punk and Burke was solid. A bit hit and miss, but give it a few more matches and they will be top notch. Even tho it was a shame the crowd wasn't into this one, i hated and loved the "JBL" chant the crowd tried to start up.
HBK and Orton, considering the angl, was absolutely brilliant. Orton at the end looked like the cold heartless legend killer he used to be.
Cade/Murdoch and Hardys - probably the match of the night. It was a great lengthy match. Cade and Murdoch are improving every single day. The "Code Red" (sunset flip powerbomb) of Murdoch (not the botched Canadian Destroyer like I first thought) was sold perfectly by Jeff. C&M to be champs at One Night Stand.
Edge and Batista I don't really remember too much. A good cheap clean win by Edge.
Benoit and MVP wasn't as good as their last couple of encounters, but MVP winning 2-0 was awesome. I really hope this rivalry continues for many months to come. The crowd were a little stupid chanting "this is boring" while the match was going on. JBL had the call of the night with the following:
Cole: "So John, what does Chris Benoit have to do tonight to retain the US title?"
JBL: "Beat MVP"
Just the way he said it made me lose it completely. He is pure gold on the mic!!!
Khali and Cena was a lot better than what was expected. Khali tapping to the STFU was too predictable and BS as well. Even though I thought he sold it pretty well. Would have liked Khali to have won and been the champ for the two weeks up until One Night Stand with Cena winning the rematch due to all matches that night being under Extreme Rules.
