Josh Matthews interviewed Eddie Guerrero as he was leaving the arena with the United States title. He asked him if the victory was tainted because of the actions of Rhyno. He said no because a victory is a victory no matter what happens. He said to keep your friends close and enemies closer and he has no friends so he has nothing to worry about.

My Thoughts - I thought that it was a decent PPV. I would give the Pros/Cons review, but I watched it via Scramble-Vision. It was better than Bad Blood. I wasn't expecting many of the outcomes. I give the show an A-.

Match of the Night: Tag Title Match.

Did anybody see Smackdown last night? I'm going to "watch" Vengeance via Scramble Vision, because the card isn't very good. Plus, I never order WWE Pay Per Views anyway.

Is anybody going to waste $40 on Vengeance?

Sorry I'm a little late with my RAW thoughts!

First, I have this weeks SmackDown! Spoilers.

Second, I have a HUGE RAW spoiler for next week involving Kane, and a returning "superstar".http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/2003_/articles/1058921321.php

Onto the RAW Review:

Let me start off hy saying that I HATE Randy Orton's push. He is NOT the future. I see more potential in John Cena. I bet that DDP cringes everytime he sees Orton mess up the Diamond Cutter (RKO, but I call it the RK-Blow).

That being said, onto the review.

PROS:
-HBK/Jericho match. It seemed like an old-school 1996/97 match. Excellent match overall, except for the Evolution interference. Gave RAW a boost in the grade.
-They are starting the Summerslam fueds, even though the Goldberg/HHH feud is already boring.
-RVD vs. Kane. More of a spot fest than a match, but Kane slamming RVD into the stage and the stage exploding was cool. Kane going psycho on Arn Anderson, King, and Linda was cool too.
-Booker T vs. Test, mainly because of Stacy.  

CONS:
-Randy Orton's push. I don't see anything in this guy. He is NOT the future like everyone says he is. Cena has better mic skills and better wrestling ability. Cena is the future.
-The whole Kane House Arrest thing. It was so fake. I did some research, and they only let you go to your job, house, and grocery store (or any other necessary place). They don't fly you to a different state, and they don't tie you up in chains. The only realistic thing was the ankle bracelet thing.
-Women's Tag Match. Many missed moves and such.
-Lance Storm "Segment". Way to give Storm a push WWE.  
-Ending of IC Title match. They're making Booker look weak.
-Where were the Tag Champs? Dudleyz? I noticed that most of the guys I wanted to see wrestle were in the last backstage segment, but we had to witness a pointless Orton segment instead of wrestling matches.
-The opening segment was pretty pointless.
-Coach at commentary.

I give this week's edition of RAW a B-. It didn't pick up until the second hour, and I bet that either Vince or Shane will be on RAW next week to confront Kane for what he did to Linda.

I am VERY surprised. I wasn't expecting this. The figures look GREAT, and I will definately pick up most, if not all, of them.

0. I haven't been to TRU in ages.

From my post at RS:

Auction? It took them four years to come up with a friggin' AUCTION idea to spend the Jedi Points? What a load of bull***t. Why can't they just give away a Sacul, or some other exclusive/Hard to find fig for about 100 points each? I am extremely disappointed with Hasblow for this idea. I'll participate, but they'd better have some damn good deals on that site.

Now with the rules that OCB has posted, I will NOT be participating in this.

**** you Hasblow.

 

I can just hear Hasbro now...

"Oh, and our announcement concerning Jedi Master points, just keep saving them, we have something in store for you soon!"
