Personally, I think this could be a sleeper card here. It has a chance to be really great, should all the competitiors bring their A-game.
Matt Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin is official for GAB, and I think that match has the chance to be really good, are absolutely awful. When Matt Hardy's good, he's decent. When he's bad, well, it could be worse. When Shelton's good, MAN is he good. But when he has an off night, he makes Sabu look like Dean Malenko.
I think the Diva's Championship match is getting a bad wrap simply because the match is being contested for the My Pretty Pony Championship. I've been impressed with what I've seen of Natalya. She's inherited the family skills. Her "Hart" is in the right place. (beautiful pun, I know, they just come to me sometimes). And Michelle holds her own in the ring, at least better than a lot of the other Diva's. Plus, I don't care if she's worse than the Great Khali, she is fucking hot!! I would pay to watch her take off her coat.
HBK vs. Y2J- Best case scenario, it steals the show. Worst case scenario, we get a bullshit ending that could involve Lance Cade, Kofi Kingston, Paul London, Paul and Katie Lee Burchall and Mickie James. Look at that, you still got a ring full of talented individuals, and the match itself will still probably be great. This is not a match that people need to worry about sucking. Cuz it won't, unless God forbid someone gets injured during the match.
WWE Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way- This could be a great match if they don't turn it into a clusterfuck. You've got John Morrison, The Miz, and Finlay, three incredible in-ring performers. (To think, a year ago the only way I would have said "The Miz" and "incredible in-ring performer" in the same sentence was if there was a "is not" in there). Jesse, Festus, Hawkins, Ryder, and EVEN Hornswoggle are capable in the ring. Don't lie to yourself, the little guy can wrestle! As long as they don't have all 8 men constantly in the ring, and as long as this doesn't become Hornswoggle's Laugh-a-long, it should be good.
John Cena vs. JBL in a NYC Parking Lot Brawl- These two guys are natural hardcore brawlers. These guys thrive in this sort of environment. the Latino Heat Parking Lot Brawl is still one of my favorite Cena matches, and are people forgetting that JBL is still Bradshaw of the APA? A former Hardcore champion. Plus, we mostly likely get Cryme Tyme, who are Money money, yeah yeah, AND Rhodes and DiBiase, who are simply priceless. This is honestly the match I am looking forward to the most.
ECW Championship- this is really the only match on the card that doesn't stand a chance of being any good. As long as it's short, I'll be pleased with it.
World Heavyweight Championship- This is another match that may end up pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised with the Kane/Punk match on RAW, and even though Kane is a better talent than Batista, Punk showed an intensity to his style that I hadn't seen in him for awhile. If he brings that intensity to the match, and Batista doesn't tear something, I'll be happy with result, even if Batista wins the title.
WWE Championship- There's no doubt this match will be good. I just wish it wasn't on this card. HHH vs. Edge is a money fued. It should be built up for Summerslam, or even Wrestlemania. The way I see it, if HHH retains cleanly, it's a waste of time. If Edge wins cleanly, we'll have a re-match, and probably another re-match, and probably another rematch, until HHH wins it back, by which point, the fued will be burned out and worthless. And if we get an obscure finish, like a double DQ or Count-Out, what was the point in having it on the card?! Draw it out til Summerslam. They could have done that without giving away the match already. There's so much SD! talent left off this card, why not have a tag match? Edge, Chavo, Bam, and Umaga vs. HHH, Jeff Hardy, Big Show, and MRRRRRRRRRRRR. KENNEDYYYYYYYYYYY... KENNEDYYYYYYYYY!!! It makes sense, all four men had a confrontation with La Familia in one way or another this past Friday night.
One more thing... why in the blue hell, has MRRRRRRRRRRRR. KENNEDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY... KENNEDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! been left off the card for the FIFTH STRAIGHT PPV?!?! He hasn't appeared since Wrestlemania!!
im only watching the PPV for the Triple H and edge and HBK vs Jericho fueds
