PINK HAIRED PERSPECTIVE
~For a Raw match, I expected better between Santino and Val, but it was just bad. The moves weren’t even in sync; this is something you expect at armature hour.
~The women’s match was just awful. For all the improvement I had been told about with Candice Michelle, you couldn’t tell based on that garbage they had tonight. The only good thing I could say was that if you blinked it was over.
~Orton/HBK was really good, it’s a shame it was so short. Michaels did look a bit shaky tonight. I don’t know if it’s that he came back to soon, if he’s holding back because he’s worried about his knees or what.
~I really don’t think it’s possible for WWE to make it any more obvious that they’re pushing for Orton/Michaels at Cyber Sunday. They show you the flashbacks so many times the only way you could not know what’s going on is if you live in a hole.
