I'll give some quick thoughts on this week's show, as I'm sleepy...
- The Edge-Hardy ladder match has been promoted well, not that it needs it. Opening the show with The Cutting Edge featuring Hardy, with ladders all over the place was nice. The two superstars again interacted very well with each other, this time with each of them seated atop a ladder. The segment ended with Edge shoving Hardy's ladder, sending him abdomen-first into the ropes and onto the floor. Looked painful.
- Edge vs. Mysterio was great. It would have been shocking if it were anything but. I really like how Edge has been getting a lot more clean victories lately.
- It was surprising to see Punk vs. Umaga two days before their PPV clash, but they had a very good match, surpassing their decent effort at Judgment Day. Punk won, which is always a good thing. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do different at Extreme Rules.
- The verbal sparring and subsequent match between Jericho and R-Truth was very entertaining. Jericho is simply untouchable on the mic right now, and it was nice to see R-Truth getting some new lines too. The match wasn't bad at all either, although the Codebreaker was slightly botched at the end. Nice to see R-Truth getting to rub shoulders with Jericho
- In theory, Benjamin vs. Morrison is a fantastic feud, but I'm really disappointed that Shelton keeps jobbing to Morrison. Nothing against Morrison, I just think it's high time Benjamin got a push. He's too talented to be midcard fodder. I can't understand why he just can't seem to get past that certain level.
- Dolph Ziggler is looking more impressive with each passing week...
- Would it be possible to have Maria referee all your matches, Vince? Please?
