Originally posted by John OrquiolaI hated the finish, but lost in all the debate here is the fact that Undertaker carried Kozlov to his best match ever.
They had a better match a few months ago on Smackdown before Kozlov's Survivor Series debacle.
And a case can be made for the Koslv v Festus match that was so surprisingly entertaining that i find myself actually missing that big ol' country boy and his Owen Hart clone partner.
Three oinkers wearing pants, a plate of hot air, a basket of grandma's breakfast and change a bull to a gill, got it.

1) I thought Vickie was looking slimmer than usual. 2) I like Koslov in the same way I like Mark Henry. They just project that "ass kicker" aura in an authentic way. I don't know, agree to disagree I suppose, but I don't see anything inherently "unwatchable" about Koslov. He has a decent moveset. I love how he tosses even some of the bigger guys around with his suplexes; He's asking for a concussion but I can't get enough of him headbutting the shit out of people. And I couldn't help but smile at his reaction to beating Taker, who I never really liked.
Cena can't be beat because he's some unholy genetic recombinate of superstars past. I mean, you might as well call him John "Realest of the Real, Sargent Rock - Cold - A - Mania" Cena.
After finally watching the show, I have no beef with the ending to the Koslov/Taker match. It wasn't just "a powerslam," it was an awesome counter of Old School into a powerslam from FIFTEEN FEET IN THE AIR as Taker came off the top rope. If you can't see that, you're a moron. Along those same lines, Vickie has been and is just fine.
It must kill Triple H deep down to know that he's not the right kind of "big enough" to have a great match like that with Koslov. Ha ha, just kidding, Triple H doesn't care about stuff like that!
What was with JR calling three separate matches the main event though? Seriously. Might as well have called Benjamin/Chavo a main event while he was at it. If this didn't set a new all-time My Network ratings record, I'd hate to see how they try to load up FUTURE shows. FIVE MAIN EVENTS!
Also hard to believe they had that Colons/M&M match and did neither of (a) unifying the tag team titles or (b) planting some more seeds for a Miz/Morrison breakup. Ms. Bella, would you please look longingly over your shoulder one more time; some of our denser viewers may not be picking up the storyline.
Originally posted by kentishI don't understand the push of this guy. How often does Taker lay down CLEAN? I can't think of more than a handful since he returned as the Dead Man in 2004.
He put over Great Khali in...what, 2006?....with the head chop of doom and then got pinned with just one foot on his chest. Undertaker jobbing puts guys over. You might not like the decision of guy they chose to get that honor this time, but it serves the bigger picture in the build to the WM match with HBK

I have no problem with Kozlov going over Taker clean, I just wish he'd do it a tad bit more often and for someone I'm a bigger fan of than Kozlov. He had a couple of great matches with Shelton before the Rumble, just giving Benjamin a somewhat clean win(foot on the ropes, pulled tights) would have been huge for the guy.
Hey guess what! Vickie isn't a 120 pound stick-figure with fake tits! Let's all point and laugh at her! Seriously can we leave the woman's weight alone? She's had how many children? If ya find yourself laughing at the HHH style "Vickie is fat" jokes you're either 8 years old or aren't that mature.

You took the words right out of my mouth. So many other guys are worthy, IMO.

OMG. My wife said the exact same thing: "Like there would be a stop sign under there." She also has asked me several times, "Why does the Undertaker cover his opponents so half-heartedly. He looks like a lazy old fat guy.
