Closing Thoughts

On paper, it looks like a pretty decent show with a few good surprises on there.

[The MVP]

Eh, to me it looks as bad as it turned out to be. The only real shocker that stands out to me was the Cody Rhodes heel turn when teaming with DiBiase. I can't really remember if it was predictable that it would happen but in the end, I don't like how it was done. Looks like a bunch of average/bad matches with maybe one or two possible good ones.

Also, just from looking at it, it seems like it didn't have much hype and the storylines weren't built up that well. (ECW triple threat match, Kingston/Jericho, possibly Hardy/Guerrero, and Mickie James/Katie Lea)

But it's pretty good to see/remember that Chavo Guerrero was actually in a match on PPV and getting a title shot back then. .... Bad to see that that's the same case for Hornswoggle.

[Tyrone]

Eh, not when Chavo was used because he was pretty much the only hope

Hard to believe that Cody Rhodes has only been a heel for a year. It seems longer.

[D. Williams]

The same for DiBiase's WWE run.

[Admin]

Katie Lea Burchill sure has dropped down the ladder quite a bit since then.

[D. Williams]

I wonder what the Women's Division would be like if Katie Lea won the title.

Would she be a credible heel champion? Would she still be on Raw? And would the women's division actually have some more potential?

I guess we'll never know.

Someone refresh my memory. Where was Randy Orton this time last year?

[D. Williams]

He got injured at One Night Stand. Broken collarbone.

I remember now. That was when Triple H threw him over the top rope, right? That was an ugly fall.
