Opening Promo - Pretty solid here to start things off. Nice to see he-who shall-not-be-named thank the fans to begin his run, and preview what's going to happen. I don't know what to say about Guerrero here, he kinda seemed like a heel to me. Bischoff coming in at the last second was what would've happen if this was real. (But it still is to me, dammit.)
Jericho vs Christian - Would've been a great match if you had the whole match there, instead of a DQ ending. It kinda moved pretty quick though. I don't have a problem with Christian getting dq'ed, it shows a new side of him.
Orton/Rock - good back and forth dialogue between the two to start with. Rocky spent the majority of the promo talking about Orton's go-nads. a little bit overdone here with Rock's lines, though.
Hardy vs Kane - It kinda felt like a squash to me, Kane was way too dominant here. Kane being serious should be pretty good, he actually seems credible here.
Foley/Flair - emoFoley was OK to start off the promo. Flair coming in was pretty great, you had some pretty good lines with him. Flair vs Foley should be alright in a hardcore match, I can picture the blood already. The promo itself was a good way to set the match up with Batista too.
Batista vs Foley - it was an OK match, but I really hated that you had another DQ. Having Flair interfere for a Batista win would've been better, IMO yo.
Wrestling's Interracial Couple vs Hurricane & Rosey - eh, decent promo before the match. I don't know, I really didn't like this match. Haas and Benjamin's offense was like all suplexes. Having them win by cock shot was good though, it shows what could happen in the future in a championship match.
HHH/HBK - great back and forth promo between the two. I was expecting them to feud, but having a Hell in a Cell at Backlash seems a little too early for them if they're going to have a long feud. Match should be good though, and the build up should too.
Eddie G. & He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named vs RVD & Booker T - It was an OK match that went back and forth. most of the offense was strikes and suplexes again. I'm not really too hot for HWSNBN & Eddie as tag champs. you should've found some other way for them to add fire to the feud. I see the reign lasting less than a month.
The Verdict - It was alright as a first show. I know that you could do way better than what you had here.
-The matches were OK at best. Most of the offense in most of the matches were strike, suplex, strike, suplex. It lacks emotion, IMO. and having "!" every other sentence gets kinda annoying.
-Promos were pretty good. sometimes you went a little too far with lines and trademarks, which almost ruined some of the promos. but they made sense, and contributed to the show.
-The feuds you've set up seem pretty good. HHH vs HBK should be pretty great, and I'm really looking out for it. Christian vs Jericho continuing should be good too. I don't really like having Guerrero on Raw, if you think about it, Smackdown is kinda messed up with him having a feud with HWSNBN and winning the tag titles.
So in closing, I'm hoping that you step your game up match wise. it was OK, but I'm really expecting more from you as this BTB goes on.
