Here's some SD thoughts (So.. did anyone else actually watch the show?)
SD was once again the best wrestling show of the week.
Punk's opening promo was awesome (As usual), and he was getting a shitload of boos near the end of it. I love how he can get heel heat without even raising his voice.
Kidd vs Morrison was on-par with their excellent match that they had on Superstars last week, and the Starship Pain looked nasty as Morrison landed knees first into Kidd's face. Haas vs Slam Master J was... Well, it was there. I thought Haas actually looked better in the match than Jesse.
The four-way was fun even if Ziggler winning was a bit predictable. I did like that Knox managed to look good since I think he's severly underutilized on SD. Jericho vs JTG was much better than expected and it was easily the best match I've ever seen be a part of. Didn't really mind him winning the match since Cryme Tyme need to look credible before the tag-match at SS.
Khali vs Ortiz was just there to further the Kane/Khali feud. They've actually built this up quite well... Of course, that won't stop the match from sucking all kinds of ass when it happens. I'm just hoping they don't put it on PPV (I still haven't recovered from their "epic match" at Wrestlemania 23).
Punk vs Hardy was decent, but you couldn't expect them to go all out on free tv. Matt played his role well (Not really backing up either man) and actually looked a lot bulkier. The post-match attack was just more awesomeness by Punk and the chair into the ring post just looked NASTY!
Punk's line "Make sure he's OK! Fix him so I can break him again", just made him look like even more of a dick.
Like I said at the beginning of this post, I might have to order this PPV just for the Punk/Hardy match. This is by far the best thing going today in WWE.
Agree'd with Soulpower pretty much.
Question for anyone who saw it on TV, was it just my download, or are they censoring weapon hits by cutting to shots of the crowd on TV too?
I've loved all of Punks heel promos so far. Somehow he manages to speak truth, and get the crowd to boo him while he's doing it. Awesome, awesome character.
I seriously went "Damn!" when Morrison landed on Kidd's head. That was insane.
I don't have much to say about the 4-way, but it was a good match. First time in awhile I've enjoyed Knox in the ring instead of just thinking about how awesome his beard his.
Really enjoyed JTG vs Jericho, best performance I've ever seen JTG put on. This feud has alot of potential to really elevate Cryme Tyme. I'm a fan of it.
I don't even want to think about anything to do with the Khali/Kane feud. I just don't want to see it.
Agreed with Soulpower on Punk vs Hardy. Decent, but with a TLC match coming up soon, you can't expect them to go all out. What was up with Matt's face? It looked like he had a serious case of sunburn.
Even with my download being censored of weapon shots, the beat down on Jeff was damn awesome. I <3 this feud, and can't wait for that TLC match.
