- MVP gets a much needed PPV win here, which is a good thing. The finish was clean because Jeff proved that he was reckless as MVP declared. A fine opener, but slightly disappointing considering the roll Jeff has been on.

~HBK SPEAKS~
HBK is accompanied by his wife to the ring. They hold hands as HBK grabs a mic and the crowd chants for him. He thanks everyone for their support, and says he recently went to the doctor and had a re-evaluation of his eye. Due to complications with the eye and the knee and back surgeries he has had through out his career, it has been recommended that he retire from wrestling. Ultimately it was his decision, and after talking with Rebecca and his family, he has decided that it is time for him to listen to the doctor and walk away. He has had a wonderful career and regrets nothing. He came here in 1988 and he remembers his first Summerslam. The fans have given him the chance to be the Heart Break Kid, the ICON, The Main Event and the Showstopper. Even Mr. WrestleMania. He also was the guy that screwed Bret Hart, that formed DX, the man that innovated the ladder match and the guy that lost his smile and forever be known for retiring Ric Flair. But now he can be known as something else. A full time husband and father. This will not be popular, but it is the right decision. He starts to thank the crowd and…

Suit wearing Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring because he does NOT APPROVE! He won't let HBK go out this way, he will not let him go out on his own terms. He is leaving because of Jericho and he wants him to admit that. HBK says if he has any decency he will leave the ring right now. Jericho refuses and says HBK has to admit that he is leaving because of what Jericho did to him. Admit that to your wife, your children and to himself. Jericho deserves to hear it because he earned the right to hear that he put him out of wrestling. Jericho demands HBK say that Jericho put him out for good. It doesn't matter what HBK accomplished, because as of now he will be remembered for having to leave because of Chris Jericho. HBK says ok, he admits it, he'll go home and sit his wife and kids down and tell them that the reason he can't wrestle anymore is because of a vile selfish, worthless human being. He wants Jericho to go home and do the same, and tell his family that daddy will never, ever be Shawn Michaels. They stare down, and Rebecca wants Shawn to leave. Jericho then goes to punch Shawn, but misses and hits his wife! Shawn checks on her as Jericho watches on. EMT's are out now to help as she slowly comes around. Shawn cuddles her as they leave the ring. Her lip is swollen already, damn.

Winner: HHH @ 10:00 via pin
- They worked the basic monster formula, and it was a bit better than I expected, but I never bought Khali winning here due to the poor booking leading in. It wasn't atrocious, but it was very repetitive and just not that good. They got a big pop for the pedigree though.

Winner: Batista @ 14:10 via pin
- This match had a really big time feel to it with the hot crowd through out. They both worked and sold the knees well, and the counters at the end were very good. After months of sub-par performances with JBL, Cena looked like he did last year and Batista also carried his end of things very well. It was a good match and performance from both men and should create good buzz for a rematch. And you have to love a nice squeaky clean finish in what was billed as a big time match.

Winner: The Undertaker @ 27:00 via pin
- Edge was an awesome crazed heel here, using the entire bag of tricks to try and defeat the Undertaker. In return Taker used many of the things that Edge has used to screw him over the last 10-months or so to get the final revenge. In the end we got a awesome match that deserved the main event spot and lived up to the hype they put into it.

-We see La Familia celebrate in the back.

-Taker takes the slow walk to the back as Edge starts to move in the cell. Take does NOT approve and returns to the ring. He sets up a ladder and sets Edge up on it.

Khristian Call

If I were in charge of the booking team, and this is just me, since Edge fell into a hole of fire, he needs Gangrel to bring him back via the entrance that is still the coolest one the WWF(E) has ever done.  Bring back the Brood!  I'm glad I didn't pay for it.  I think I'm much more entertained by seeing the word 'GOOZLE' typed with such vigor than I would have been watching that.

BobbyStrange

makes you wonder how hard JBL's head must be if it cut the back of CM Punk's head when JBL fell on him head first.

I know the punch Jericho did so looked like he didn't hold much back and I reall fell sorry for HBK's wife because she is going to have a nice fat lip for a while.

Black Death

well she was  name Fire ...you know she got to be tough...lol ;D   but now I see either Unforgiven , Surviver Series  as the big blow off ...but what type of match...  but the only thing HBK needs to know is that it does not end well when you mix your real wife in storylines ... proved in the past
"Asuka, gives you two thumbs up"



TaNK

For anybody that watched, is The Taker/Edge match a Match of The Year candidate? because I'm gonna go watch it if it is.

Tezmission Black

Taker/Edge could easily be called Match of the Year, although to be honest I would of liked to see Edge win, and possibly try to do something to taker, it get reversed then Taker does the chokeslam to hell.

But thats just me..the Edgehead.

Overall the PPV was good, Santeno/Beth vs Kofi/Mickie was a pretty good match, I was sad that Kofi lost it, happy that Beth won it, and really wanted to see Katie Lee and Paul in the match as a three way. CM Punk vs JBL could possibly be called the best World title match of the night, and thats saying alot seeing as I don't like Punk. Both Hardy's losing was a HUGE plus in my book. HHH winning was a good thing, it could of used more segments in it though, more backstage interaction.

Edited

Cena/Batista sucked, they matched each other moves and when they where done it was quick.




AudiblyOffensive

I haven't gotten a WWE PPV since LAST Year's WM... and I actually enjoyed reading Trips' PBP of it more than watching it.

All the excitement, none of the lame commentary... and it's free. :)
