I saw the entire show at my cousin's house and it was actually just as good as I expected. I wasn't really expecting a jaw dropping show but this delivered.
The Unified Tag Team Title match was a little short, it was a mediocre opener I guess.
Orton and Legacy's match surprised me at how good it was. I am not a fan of triple threats, but maybe since it wasn't for a belt and it was following such a mediocre opener I thought it was great, I can't explain it, but I really loved this match. Orton got massive pops from the crowd and all 3 superstars put on a great match.
Money in the Bank was just as I expected. I wasn't expecting the greatest MITB, but I knew it would be better than last year's. I would rank this right up there with MITB at WMXXIV. Didn't have that many high flying spots, but had some good moments. I really was surprised that Swagger won, did not see that coming at all.
HHH vs. Sheamus was a solid match, better than I expected. I enjoyed the video package before it.
Punk vs. Rey was a fucking awesome match. That is all I have to say actually. It was a decent length and delivered.
Bret vs. Vince...this is the WTF point of the event. I had no clue what was going on. Was the Hart family swerve necessary? I thought Bret playing the broken leg trick on Vince was swerve enough for this feud. Atleast Hart Dynasty got time to shine with Bret for once.
Edge vs. Jericho was a better match than I expected. I was really hoping Jericho would win, I knew Edge would probably do it, but then Jericho pinned him. It was a real awkward ending in the final seconds of the match, but great to see Jericho's reign will continue. If he dropped it that would be a major robbery towards Jericho.
Diva's match...atleast Vickie acknowledged Eddie, great to see that, even if it might have drawn a couple positive crowd reactions towards Vickie.
Cena vs. Batista, was shocked it didn't main event. The match met my expectations, we all knew it wouldn't be match of the night. It was unique in it's own special ways. I was actually thinking Batista might have won since it wasn't the main event.
HBK vs. Taker...I didn't think it would be that great. I thought it would be hard to follow up their match last year but they delivered. Loved the slap in the face at the end. The moonsaults by HBK was insane. I doubt HBK's career is over though. When Ric Flair went away they used the term "retire" and that word was never mentioned with HBK. I almost see this like Foley's HIAC with HHH or Taker after that 2008 match with Edge where his "career was over." I could be wrong on so many levels, but I doubt HBK is done.
