Alright, first of all...just want to say that I really enjoyed this card...but as always, there are some things that didn't quite make sense to me or that I would have booked differently.
Your series is very creative and overall, I do love it...so here goes the review.
The descriptions you use are some of the best that I've read on this site and anywhere. You make it feel like you're actually sitting in front of the tv, watching the show. I enjoy the almost ECWesque feel to everything, but to some people, it might not flow to well. The first segment with Taz was off the charts..but only because my favorite wrestler was involved...Chris Jericho.
Chris Jericho's promo and match with Kendrick and Mysterio were really, really good and both stand out as my favorite part of this card. Again, he is my favorite wrestler, but there is something about a fast paced Triple Threat Match that I love. I thought Kendrick would get pinned, but either way, the match served its purpose well.
Matt Hardy vs. Lance Storm was a good match, but I thought you should have finished the match with the cradle piledriver after the reversal exchange.
Ehhh...tag team turmoil? I always hated those...but thats just my opinion on the matter.
This Rhino/Sabu match was awesome. I liked the ending...two returning or debuting stars and a NO Contest. You put Homicide over and allow both men to NOT lose any credibility by having them laid out by your new Hardcore Champ. Makes sense to me...
Again, I enjoyed Tanaka and Angle...but for some reason, I could NEVER see Tanaka getting pinned by an Olympic Slam. I know it's Angle's finish, but still...after seeing Masato wrestle a ton of times, it just doesn't make sense to me. I like the CM Punk/Team Angle feud though, and CM Punk is the ultimate babyface if need be.
And the main event...Christopher Daniels and Shawn Michaels has 'dream match' written all over it...and ends with the infamous Shawn Michaels back injury. Great Match, and Daniels is probably going to be fed to Taz like a GIANT piece of meat to a Lion at the Zoo! I guess a Shawn Michaels Farewell speech is on the way, huh?
All in all, this card was very good...flowed well, and served it's purpose for the night after a pay per view. I hope Chris Jericho is built to be the next champion. My only gripes with the series is that at times, it seems a little TOO ECW like to me, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I loved ECW and so did most.
On a scale of 1 to 10...I'll give this show a 7 because it was solid and the matches were good, but some of the endings hurt their credibility...however, the endings served their purpose. Great show my man, cannot wait for the next one!
