how was it.

Hmm, I wasn't exactly watching the clock, but I'll tell you what I thought of each match.

Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho - 8/10. Solid match, it could/should have been lower on the card. Lots of catchy offense from both, Shelton at one point reversed the Walls of Jericho into an attempt at his exploder suplex, an excellent combination.

Tag Team Turmoil - 5/10. I just plain don't like this match type. Too many people doing a whole lot of not much for a very short amount of time. I was a little surprised by the title switch and especially since it was the superheroes who took it. Wasn't it just a week or two ago that HHH BY HIMSELF was kicking the $hit out of them?

Chris Benoit vs. Edge - 7/10. It was pretty clear from the moment this match was signed that Edge would win it. Good use of the ladder, with the headbutts and the Edgecution. The brick finisher was just scary.

Kane vs. Viscera - 3/10. Pathetic match. Thankfully it was short. Trish almost falling out of her top was the only good part. I did not enjoy Viscera splashing Trish after losing.

Hulk Hogan & Shawn Michaels vs. Hassan & Daivari - 5/10. You or I could have scripted this match. Very boring, very podantic, but MAN the crowd was all over it. Hulk of course got both the "hot tag" and the 1-2-3, but no leg drop.

Batista vs. HHH - 5/10. Again, clear from moment one who would win this match. Nothing special happened here. Decent shot with HHH escaping the Batista Bomb by hitting him with the title belt. HHH set up for the Pedigree WAY too many times. He should have hit one and Batista kick out of it; that would have helped build Batista up as an unstoppable champion.

Overall - 5/10. Very vanilla. Nothing outstanding, a couple pretty good, a few pretty average, one pretty bad.

SO batista won?

I thought the stand out moment was Christian slagging off the main-eventers of Raw and Smackdown in the form of a rap.

He is surely being pushed for a possible title shot with Cena on Smackdown.

MY RATINGS

Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho - 9/10. Damn good match and wins "match of the night" honors in my book.

Tag Team Turmoil - 4/10. Average match, and did not see the ending coming with Hurricane and Rosey winning the belts. I am glad they finally got the titles though, as I was expecting to see La Resistance(who have gotten stale) regain the tag straps.

Chris Benoit vs. Edge - 6/10. Predictable victory for Edge, but Chris Benoit still did a good job of carrying him to a watchable match.

Kane vs. Viscera - 3/10. Ok for what it was, but glad it was kept short. The post-match segment was the most entertaining moment though.

Hulk Hogan & Shawn Michaels vs. Hassan & Daivari - 8/10. Not a high caliber match, but still darn entertaining and the crowd ate it up like candy. I was expecting Daivari and Hassan to go over, but was damn glad that HBK and Hulk Hogan took home the victory.

Batista vs. HHH - 6/10. I was actually worried for a moment that HHH would regain the title, but was very glad Batista retained. I think as champion he will only continue to get better with his ring work and mic skills, as I feel this rematch was somewhat better than the Wrestlemania match.

Overall, I give this PPV a 7/10

iight bet...

Shelton vs jericho: 8/10, Suprisingly the best fight of the night. Lots of back and forth action but each gave a good effort. Benjamin proved again that his in work is great.

*beep* he five tag *beep*

Benoit vs Edge 7/10 Few great moment but it was sad seeing benoit job(carry it but lose)

*beep* kane vs visera

Hogan and the one who screw the best vs hassan and davari 4/10 very lackluster yet predictable. hogan has one of the best chracters yet bad ring action(he always had so *beep* the age *beep*

Batista
Triple H II 6/10 it was better than wrestlemania

Overall it was better than wrestleman(except for the angle vs hbk fight)

sorry for the spelling but it is 3 03 and im tired and sort of drunk so peace out! 1

I only liked the opening match really.. and what Lita and Viscera did to Trish.
I hated the Last Man Standing match.. why was Benoit doing submissions instead of clobbering Edge with weapons? it's not like WWE have no DQ matches that often anymore.. take advantage of it when you can! Edge certainly did.

Didn't care much for the Tag Team Turmoil either.. it was about as average as Regals finisher.

Benjamin vs. Jericho was the best wrestling match.
Edge vs. Benoit was the most exciting match.
Hogan and hbk vs. hassan and daivari sucked. Hogan needs to hang it up after that match. Good thing it was a tag match at least.
Kane vs. viscera was snack time. That match would be decent if it were on heat.
Tag Team Turmoil wasn't really that bad, but raw seriously needs some tag teams. So does smackdown, but at least smackdown recruited the exciting MNM.
Triple H vs. Batista was not bad in my opinion. Pretty exciting, as both men were trying to use their finishers. Better than the Wrestlemania match in my opinion, and MUCH better than the hogan&hbk vs. hassan and daivari. I dont know how people could rate that terrible tag match higher.
