Very good episode of Smackdown last night. The Christian/Del Rio cage match was well done and in all there were seven matches that actually entertained. Check out the cage match: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/user/WWEFanNation#p/u/0/McXcnutdgYI]YouTube - WWEFanNation's Channel[/ame] Sheamus aslo got another win under his belt. He beat Daniel Bryan for the US title on RAW and then he pinned Kofi Kingston who is still being buried. Anyone know why?

The theory is since Brock Lesnar & Bobby Lashley both screwed the WWE over with epic pushes, they have allegedly made it almost a policy to "make them humble", which is pretty ridiculous as it has taken the heat out of quite a few in the past (MVP a great example). I would presume this is what is happening to Kofi before he gets some kind of push again...unless they are releasing him after WM.
well, there will be some cuts made because WGN America has cancelled 'Superstars" so we will see what happens

GREAT show last night. If you have the chance, check it out. The hype for the Taker/HHH match was top notch with Shawn Michaels getting in the mix. Check it out, maybe the best segment on RAW this year: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4CstHnVAWE]YouTube - Raw: Shawn Michaels interrupts Triple H and The Undertaker[/ame] Then the end between Cena and Rock was good as well. I love the heat Cena got from the Chicago crowd, it was almost as bad as when he had his ECW match vs RVD. The Rock was on point and did they hint at a heel turn for Cena in the end?

Looking at the card and how most of the angles have been pointing toward wins for the faces, I think this is one where the heels get a victory. The Corre are being put over as the super stable that Nexus should have been. Plus it's guaranteed that there will be a spot with Jackson slamming one of the two (or both) again.
crap card, total crap card the core is a sham the only saving grace for this entire thing is Edge/Rio
I dunno...I am going to just sit back and enjoy it for a couple hours. I really am looking forward to a pair of undercard matches that could steal the show. CM Punk vs Orton and Sheamus vs Brian Danielson both have the potential to impress. Also, it will be fun to see how Jerry Lawler gets to exact his revenge on Michael Cole. That is the best feud going into Wrestlemania.
sheamus will totally squash daniel brian idk about orton/punk, i believe this is where new nexus member awesome kong makes a massive interferance i utterly hate the jerrylawler/michaelcole angle. cole is horrible and to see him get a push like hes worth is just mindboggling
cole will get his butt kicked tonight. remember, he wasn't punished yet for his comment to josh matthews a couple of weeks ago, so this maybe it. Kofi Kingston is replacing Vladimir Kozlov in the 8-man tag match tonight due to an injury suffered by Kozlov during a match at Wrestlemania Axcess
Show tonight was crap. I love Rocky, but that finish was butt. Course, there wasn't going to be a good finish regardless. Are they actually contemplating working a program w/Rock?
I enjoyed the first three hours (What was with Bryan/Sheamus being dropped, and the Corre match?), but that last hour dragged, and gave us a really weak main event and crapty ending. A shame really.
HHH vs Taker should have ended the show, no doubt about it. Questionable match orders all around (Edge vs Del Rio to open? No Sheamus vs Bryan? Snooki after HHH/Taker?) hurt the flow of the show. Overall I enjoyed the show but the WWE could have done so much more.
Worst. Wrestlemania. Ever. that aren't the early ones because they didn't count since it was a million years ago.
Taker.....but Hunter beat the living piss out of him. He fell victim to the Hells Gate Submission maneuver and was forced to tap out after about 5minutes locked into the hold. Taker had to be "taken off a stretcher." That match was better than the last two with HBK. Probably the most physical match Taker had at 'Mania.
