Post match, Primo celebrated on the ramp…Backstage, William Regal and the East-Side/Eastern Europe connection heading towards the ring…[C] Shore’s Slant: Not a bad opening match. These guys have worked well together recently and it showed. However, they have no character right now so I’m not really caring so much. Masters apparently went mute when he stopped doing ‘roids because he hasn’t said a word since he came back. And where the hell is Carlito?

Suddenly, Christian, Yoshi Tatsu, and Tommy Dreamer made the save and cleared the ring…The announce team hyped the Hardy/Kane main event…[C] Shore’s Slant: I don’t know if it’s my week off or what, but even though these matches have been too short, they have been entertaining. I like that there was a storyline reason for the run in. This show works fine without storyline stuff, but it’s nice to see it when it happens. Back from commercial, a Batista is God video played…Back ringside, Jim Ross and Todd Grisham took over on commentary as Michelle McCool and Layla made their ring entrance. A video recapped the Melina win over McCool last week on Smackdown. Maria was out next, followed by Melina. The announce team put over the tension between M’N’M… 3.

Some of the best we’ve seen from the Smackdown ladies in a while. I like that they are finally getting a story, even if it is a little bit stupid. I’m interested to see if this is a heel turn for someone, or a “realize at the last second that those other bitches set up my BFF” and Maria makes the save. What? I got four daughters. Oh, and don’t even get me started on Badtista coming to Smackdown. Back from commercial, the Ask the Divas segment played. No, I will not go into the questions…Back ringside, JR and Grisham introed the Smackdown Rebound video that showed the current angle with Punk/Taker/Teddy Long…Back ringside, Matt Hardy made his ring entrance…[C] Back from commercial, Kane made his ring entrance. JR said Kane didn’t like anything, even JR’s Barbeque. Funny… [Q4]4. Matt Hardy defeated Kane by disqualification at 11:58. Matt started out with guerilla tactics to start. He managed to get Kane in an armbar, but Kane fought out and worked his move set on Matt. Kane slammed Matt but missed the elbow drop. Kane reversed a whip and bent over for a back drop. Matt kicked Kane, who no sold the move. He ran at Matt. Matt pulled the top rope down and Kane spilled to the floor. He looked up at Matt into the break…[C] Back at 6:40, Hardy was still in control.

He did it again and the ref called for the bell, ruling a disqualification…what? Kane chased the ref off and then hit the Chokeslam. His music hit and Kane backed up the ramp smiling… Shore’s Slant: Decent match that actually did Matt some good. He looked like he could hang with Kane, giving him chances at Knox and others. A fair way to end a fair show. Yeah, it was the week off. Don’t get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with the match, or the show for that matter, but it wasn’t as good as the “normal” set of three matches and an interview, and yet I stilled enjoyed it. Maybe I should take a week off from Raw…or maybe a month. Thanks for reading and I’ll see you tomorrow night for Smackdown. Questions? Comments? Anyone, anyone? Let me hear from you.
