Sound of crickets chirping...

Wow, no one watched this.

[Zero Signal]

I watched it! Not the greatest PPV, but I've seen worse.

--Eddie G. looked a little off last night. It was still a decent match, but I'm so used to him putting on show-stealers. Nice choice of opener.
--Spike and Nunzio was a little better. Nunzio looked pretty strong here, and both guys tried hard. I could have done without the interference, but still not bad.
--Match of the night was next! Paul and Billy both went all out here, and some of the spots looked pretty brutal. London sells like no other, and hopefully he impressed some of the higher-ups in the company and gets a good push. And that was a better Kidman than recently. Not quite like his glory WCW days, but a step in the right direction.
--The tag title match was a mess. Rene and RVD started off good, but it just went south every time Kenzo got in the ring. I can't believe this guy isn't down in OVW, as he missed alot of spots and doesn't sell properly.
--Big Show looked like a monster. An okay match, but Show kinda forgot to sell the ankle late in the match. Nice ending, and I don't think I've ever seen a bad Kurt Angle match.
--No comment on the U.S. Title match, as my dislike of John Cena is second only to my dislike of Undertaker.
--Mixed tag was just odd. I feel bad that Haas is back in this tag scene, since I thought he could be a great singles guy. Nothing spectacular here, just filler.
--Um...I'm not a fan of JBL, but it's better than another Undertaker title reign. And I love how Taker even no sells the chloroform! Classic. The show ending was also downright stupid.

A middle of the road show. A few good matches, and tons of filler. ** and 1/2*, or 5 out of 10.

--Eddie G. looked a little off last night. It was still a decent match, but I'm so used to him putting on show-stealers.I didn't watch it, but Eddie was in the ring with Luther "Mule" Reigns. I think he could be excused for putting on a piece of crap.

[PaQ]

Finally able to comment, No Mercy didn't go like I thought (obvious by my 1-6 Prediction results ;_; )

Even though I didn't agree with the matchup Eddie vs Reigns, at least Eddie came out on top. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised with how the Nunzio vs Spike match came out. I must say I do like what they've done with Spike, making him basically the boss of the Dudleys, finally a reasonable role for him to be stuck with those two. As I was saying ever since Palumbo got split up, probably for the better, it left the FBI with only 2, and 2 against 3 usually won't work.

Is WWE finally giving Kidman some character? :eek: I've been waiting so long for them to finally do something with him, and I'm liking this angle so far. Giving him the slightly turned sadistic role, "Its your fault!" .. The way that the tag match finished, I really think they'll have a rematch, and they should. RVD and Rey make a good exciting team, and if they're not gonna give RVD a main event push, then they should definitely go with the tag route.

I wasn't surprised to see Big Show win, I mean he just came back so of course the big guy is going to get some momentum. I just knew that Angle would have something up his sleeve and try to come out on top. It'll be interesting to see where this goes. Ok, I don't know why Booker T can't hold the US belt, especially with the rumors of Cena doing a movie or something like that where he won't be fully available. It makes no sense. Just as quick as I'm thinking WWE is finally pushing Booker T, they take the title away.

Didn't care for the 6 wrestler mixed tag match. On the title fight, uh.. why is Heidenreich getting such attention? Has he improved that much to deserve that spotlight. I really wonder what they're doing, and I'm surprised the belt isn't Taker's by now.

"No Mercy" gets a D+. Not really entertaining for me.
