With so many high-profile names missing from the line-up, we were given an indication as to what might occur in the No Mercy main event. Certainly, no promoter in his right mind would drop The Undertaker, Kane, Matt Hardy and MVP from a card that was already missing John Cena, Mr. Kennedy and Faggy McFagfag, without a valid reason for doing so. So what was the reason? Well, the answer was fairly obvious - with the WWE Championship vacant, there’d be a bunch of wrestlers competing for it over the course of the night, designed to make the belt and of the next champion look credible. After all, it you can’t beat The Man, you have to beat at least one other man, preferably two, three or four other men… The only thing we did know, is that with so many names missing from the No Mercy, WWE weren’t about to do something stupid and hand the belt to a random superstar? Oh, wait… Still, it could be a lot worse… Orton could lose it within fifteen minutes - not that such nonsensical booking would ever occur… Oh, wait… Spoke to soon. So, in the space of about thirty minutes, Orton loses every ounce of credibility. After last week, Orton was the baddest man in the business, all he needed to do was beat a couple of names at No Mercy, claim his prize and go on his merry way. After losing to Triple H in such a humiliating manner, Orton is a joke… Nice one, WWE. Way to go… I’m hardly surprised that Triple H won the belt, just watch his entrance from SummerSlam… People criticise Kurt Angle for being a mark for himself, but damn; Triple H takes it to the nth level. Was there really a shortage of candidates for a pointless reign as champion? Triple H was already scheduled to face UMAGA~!~!, so why couldn’t WWE turn to one of the wrestlers mentioned in my first paragraph? Oh, wait, they aren’t Vince’s son-in-law! Quite clearly, three Triple H matches are more important that one Undertaker match. So… I don’t even know what to make of Orton defeating Triple H… If the plan was for Orton to leave as WWE Champion, why destroy his credibility in the opener? Orton doesn’t regain his credibility by beating Triple H; he is still a joke, it simply renders the whole angle completely fucking pointless. Losing John Cena was a blow, but who would’ve expected management to panic in such a manner? What a steaming pile of shite. |

No doubt it was obvious it would be HHH, after all - who else could be challenger. Every single main eventer on RAW is out for some reason or oher - so it was logic to use HHH - but not like this. I was indeed pondering ordering no mercy for the WWE title match - but glad I saved myself 30 dollars. Nothing else really needs to be said - this is the biggest disapointment of a PPV since D2D. Ill be waching RAW to see what randys reign will be like - boring no doubt. Nathan - its time to change your sig. |

I haven’t watched the show in its entirety, so I can’t comment on the quality of the matches, only the booking… They should’ve held a mini-tournament; Undertaker vs. Kennedy and Orton vs. Kane, with the winners competing for the vacant belt. That’s four high-profile names, three of whom have held a world championship in the past. Cena has never beaten the Undertaker or Kane in singles competition, at least on pay-per-view (which is where it matters), so Orton would’ve defeated two men that Cena never did and had a legitimate claim to the championship. If you can’t beat The Man, beat the men The Man never beat… Then, after winning the tournament, Orton’s celebration should’ve been cut-short by a video on the big screen announcing/teasing the return of Chris Jericho in [insert number] days… If Undertaker, Kane and Kennedy were booked into other matches, I’d understand, but they weren’t, so why not use them? What was the point of dropping the Undertaker and Kane, other than to allow Triple H to have three matches? Orton vs. Triple H was pointless, since both men have been soundly defeated by Cena. What were they thinking, having Orton lose the belt within 15 minutes? What is that supposed to for his credibility? If they had to have Orton vs. Triple H, surely it should’ve been for vacant belt? Was it necessary for Triple H to get another reign, on the sly? How very lame. The belt has no credibility; Orton has no credibility, just so Hunter can stroke his ego. On a more positive note – the Spinner is still here. Oh, and by the way, I’m going to put my good reputation on the line and predict Triple H or Orton vs. Lashley to headline WrestleMania.
Done. |

As completely insane as the booking of the title was, the HHH/Orton LMS match was simply astonishing. If it was'nt for Cena/HBK in London, it would be WWE's MOTY. |

What the fuck was the point in moving the MVP/Hardy vs 'Taker/Kane match to SD! Fucking bullshit!!! Instead 'Taker and Kane are dropped from the card completly and MVP faces Hardy in.....a pizza eating contest?????? Then we have Jeff and Kennedy thrown in a pointless match with the sole purpose of filling the card. Not impressed yet again by another WWE PPV, but I loved the LMS match. |

MVP/Hardy vs 'Taker/Kane match was never advertised as a no mercy match, on WWE.com it said next week on Smackdown. |

from ProWrestling.com The plan before John Cena got injured was to have Randy Orton go over in the Last Man Standing match and leave No Mercy as the WWE Champion. Then what was the pont in Orton losing to The Game to begin with. Why couldn't they do HHH/UMAGA~! with the winner getting a title shot with Orton, and then Orton going over instead of making him look shite. |

And in Cyber Sunday, expect HHH vs Orton in a Hell in a Cell. Those are still stipulations you can vote for. At least, what they are saying now. |

Hopefully the spinner belt will be destroy on Monday. Eyesore, it is. Anywho, yes the WWE Championship situation was a clusterfuck. Rather than the tourney idea Nathan stated, Orton was....well, you know the rest. Though I did enjoy the LMS match A Tag title match dropped for......... a pizza eating contest. This is supposed to be SD!'s top feud? Like I said before, the tag titles will more than likely switch hands on Friday or next Friday. |

I'm fucking confused. Brian Gerwitz is heading Raw and WWE still hasn't hired Nathan? Bullshit! I say we start a campaign to get Versus on the creative team. |

The logic, and I don't subscribe to it: - Orton has more heat because he weaselled the title twice. - Triple H looks like a near-unbeatable babyface. Triple H was booked strong, just like Cena has been. He's essentially being pencilled in for the Cena-superman babyface spot. It's something WWE has obviously believed in for a while, because Batista wasn't losing his title until he got injured in 2006, and Taker wasn't losing it for a while until he got injured a month later. I wouldn't have booked it the way WWE did, but it is consistent with their recent booking practices. |

Stop kissing ass, Dick. The LMS match was indeed enjoyable, but in no way made up for what was otherwise an extremely shitty pay per view, filled with booking decisions that never rose above questionable. First off, just handing the WWE championship to Orton at the show made zero sense. Orton was given credit for putting the champ out in kayfabe, and on ECW, Vince was Chris Benoit serious in vacating the WWE championship. Vince may be a maniacal heel, but he still plays a cunning businessman...and cunning businessmen don't just reward people who put out their top earner. Hell, it wasn't two months ago when Vince was screaming at Orton to earn the belt. He should have been screaming at Orton to earn it again tonight. Then we get the tournament situation...I could see the following possible matches... Undertaker vs. MVP Randy Orton vs. Faggy McFagfag Kane vs. Matt Hardy Triple H vs. UMAGA~!~! Cut the bullshit six man tag, you've got four first round matches that are more than watchable. Not only that, but a solid showing for Faggy would elevate him even more, and there are more than enough marks for both Orton and McFagfag that an orgasm would be guarenteed. Orton barely makes it out alive...maybe a missed Swanton/Terror of the Toe finish. The "best feud on SmackDown" is continued with matches instead of played out contests. Undertaker beats MVP, obviously, and Hardy beats Kane. Trips beats UMAGA~!~! in a bloodbath. Triple H vs. The Undertaker Matt Hardy vs. Randy Orton What? A Wrestlemania X7 rematch? Trips/Taker doesn't happen that often and would automatically have made the night special. Hunter, haven been beaten up by UMAGA~!~!, puts in a valiant display but loses, his quest to become an 11 time champion once again stalled. Matt Hardy comes into his match a house 'o fire, pissed to high heaven that Orton cunt punted his baby brother, and the two put on a good match, establishing that Matt Hardy won't die and that Randy is extremely driven and will let nothing stop him from becoming the WWE Champion. Vince comes out and applauds Orton for his efforts and for making it to the finals of the tournament on this historic night, and reminds the crowd that he promised history and that as such, he would be giving the fans what they paid for...last man standing. Orton/Taker has been done to death (under horrible circumstances), but this would be different. No Eddy Guerrero in Hell references, no Cowboy Bob, just Orton, Taker, and a ten count keeping the two from what they both want...Taker wanting to make up for lost ground and Orton claiming what he thinks is his. Would it have been as good as the LMS presented last night? Who knows...but the booking would have been WAY less retarded. Maybe have taker get up from the Power of the Pedis at 9 and have Orton go apeshit insane on Taker for the finish, seeing Orton win, Taker sit up, and a new thing happen: a rematch from a previous hell in a cell at Cyber Sunday. The rest of the show was questionable as well. CM Punk vs. Big Daddy V: I understand that Vis has been built as an unbeatable monster, and I also understand that the E has some kind of memo stating that every home town hero must be destroyed in their home town. Fact of the matter is that Punk fought so hard to win the title, and was being thrown against a brick fucking wall in his first defense...there's no way the match could have been good, but it would have been emotional to see Punk hold his title on high after defeating the monster in his home town. Instead, Striker interferes and attacks Punk for no reason, burying Vis as a credible contender right before Vis buried Punk as a credible champion. The worst thing about this match is that there must now be a rematch. I don't know what they're going for here...maybe a Vader/HBK vibe, seeing as a bunch of Vader comparisons have been showered on Vis lately, but Vis is no Vader, and Striker is no James E. Cornette. Punk needed a clean win in his first defense and got fucked in the ass instead. Finlay vs. Rey had a cool finish in principle but probably would have benefited from Finlay cheating to win. Cole throwing a fit was pretty awesome. Candice vs. Beth~ was about the only thing booked properly. This should have been a turning point in WWE history, but instead we're crapped on for the sake of a quick 11th title reign. The "Y2J" chants smacked of "We Want Flair," and I'm borderline shocked that I didn't hear any of that, either. WWE has a lot of ground to make up if they're to survive Cena's injury with a minimal loss of the crowd. |
