Jeff Hardy will either elicit one of the biggest pops of the night or the crowd will totally sit on their hands.

Vince would need to die and Steph would need to give up head of creative. Kevin Dunn and the rest of those useless fucks would also need to be out of a job.

Oh, I understand the story arc. I just don't care about it. It's weak. Foley's little fascination with Melina started as a "wink, wink", I can be funny on the Internet and curry favor from the smarks, too. The only problem is...it was overrated as fuck and nobody gave a damn about it in the first place. Foley erred, here. The liaison that Foley has with Melina reminds me of all the losers in high school and college who get LJBF'd (Let's just be friends) by the good-looking girls because they were either A) ugly or B) were frustrated chumps or C) dressed like shit. Au Contraire, as Foley is the loser, not Flair. Foley can be Melina's cuddle bitch all he wants, but he's never getting any of that pussy. Flair, the Alpha Male that he is, will get some and then some more while WOOOing after each orgasm. Putting aside the fact that Foley's actual wife is tremendously beautiful. That's the point. Foley is supposed to be that guy. He even said this straight out. The finish was great because it worked much more from a story point then some idiotic uneccesary holy shit bump. If you want senseless bumps, go watch CZW. The finish put over the brutality much more this way then a big bump ever would have. Look at how memorable this match will be despite the lack of a big bump. It was the intensity of the two guys and simplicity of the match that put it over. Almost similar to Blanchard/TA. Sure. Foley's wife is beautiful and way better looking in her prime than 90 percent of all WWE divas. But, Foley's wife is also classy; she is someone who finds male intellect and charm attractive, as opposed to ab definition. With such a storyline, you need a beautiful woman in the vein of Foley's own wife -- someone who neglects to show much skin and doesn't act like an attention whore. Unfortunately, Melina's characterization is that of a whore, attention whore, scantily-clad bimbo who readily shows her body parts to get a rise, if you will. She is grossly miscast for the role of the woman who appeals to Foley on a level that transcends sexuality. Why? Because she (her character, anyway) isn't innocent nor unaware of her power over men -- and those are the female qualities that provoke the protective and nurturing attributes in men. Think back to the promo where Foley mentioned his friend in the porno business, and said even though he's watched her movies before the thing that sticks out to him the most is her work with children in third world countries. Flair said that in his prime he would have nailed Melina and Foley said something along the lines of "that's the difference between you and me, Ric, you see Melina as nothing more than a conquest, to me she's a close friend". Hawk 34 is dead on with the whole point of the feud. Foley showed his human side and Flair has been driven to absolute violence. Melina is what has kept Foley from reverting back to Cactus Jack a la the Triple H feud in 2000 or whenever it was. A totally classy Liz-esque woman would defeat the purpose of it because Flair and his limosine ridin' character would more naturally align with or respect such a woman rather than threatening to beat her senseless with Barbie. You're looking at the Foley/Melina relationship the wrong way. It's not supposed to be sexual, that's why Nitro is still in the picture. It's not even supposed to transcend sexuality. Sexuality doesn't figure into their relationship at all. And pointing out that Melina is aware of her charms over men is pointless because there's been no interaction between her and Foley that has suggested they even flirt. Its not like she's using Foley as a henchman or something.

I only saw Orton/Hogan, the finish of Foley/Flair, the start of Booker/Batista, DX/McMahons, and the finish of the WWE title. Orton needed to work the leg more and Hogan obviously should have put him over. There was only one chinlock though and it was pretty short by Orton's standards. The finish of Foley/Flair was great. What I saw of Booker/Batista was boring. DX/McMahons was weird and horribly overbooked. The Coast to Coast Sweet Chin Music spot looked cool though and this should be the blowoff to their feud. The outcome of Edge/Cena was pleasing but they could have gone about it much simpler. The whole show was either overbooked or rushed, but the end result was a reasonably watchable PPV.

Me too, after Hogan going over I was pretty convinced this was a waste of money but Edge retaining saved the day.

Edge retains, fuck yeah!

Oh fuck me, the cable has gone out again.

Booker enters before Batista but Cena enters before Edge. Nice consistency WWE.

That match better be the blowoff to this awful feud.

Holy shit, midair sweet chin music.

Triple H kicks out of the Samoan Spike.

Kane and Umaga for WM23.

The Demolition/Hart Foundation moves are kind of cool. Edit: Road Warriors too.

HHH lands on JR's lap so he dumps him on his head.

Vince and Shane brought out the SS and DX buried them. Then they brought out Regal, Finlay and Kennedy and they threw them out of the ring. Then they brought out Big Show and those 4 beat up DX and put HHH through the ECW announce table. And now the match has started.

Big Show? even more random.

Kennedy, Regal and Finlay? How random.

The I Quit match ending was great.

This new thing of bringing face challengers to the ring second really gets under my skin for some reason.

Man, Foley is in worse shape than I've seen him in a long time after that match.

Foley quits to save Melina, what a guy.

Melina throws in the towel for Foley.

Whoa, its back again.

It'll probably come back on for DX/McMahons.. Yeah, probably. It'll come on just in time for me to see Vince's ass or something.

My cable was out for the first 2 matches, came back for Orton/Hogan, and now its out again at the start of the match I wanted to see the most. This is fucked up. I'm going to bitch until they give me a free credit.
