It's a good one.

The Beat the Clock idea is always better in theory than execution, because the matches constantly devolve into small packages and backslides (instead of bridging German suplexes, or other things that might actually hurt). Plus, we got 6 and a half minutes of Jimmy Wang Yang vs. Tatanka.

MVP's interview segment was dissapointing.
Jillian Hall (right?) actually did the best talking.
Who was the woman in the vingettes? I swore it was the euro trash from the diva search.
So next week all the matches will be less than 5:05? Is Vince gauging reaction to a WSX type product?

It was Maryse. Not so much Euro trash...but French-Canadian.

Last time I think the record was set at 1 minute early on and then someone got 40 seconds and someone got 30 seconds. So the lengths of these matches are actually way better than last time.
I thought the matches were pretty good though. I liked the Kane/Chavo match it was unusually good for a really small guy vs. a really big guy. I enjoyed the Helms and Booker match too. And Benoit and Kennedy is good, it's a shame they continue to do nothing with Benoit though, he's obviously still one of the most over guys and Benoit/Batista is one of the few interesting title matchups.
Not sure who they're going to go with as the winner though. Kennedy wouldn't be a bad choice if it's a pre-Rumble match and not the main event. But usually the winner of one of these beat the clock deals is one of the last guys to compete. I don't see UT winning now if they're it's going to be Batista/UT at WM, although I guess a rematch is always possible. Maybe Matt Hardy will win...just kidding.
Man, where in the world is this Vickie angle going? For a minute there I was worried we were about to have another suicide angle.

I hadnt watched Smackdown in a few, so it was nice to see Benoit in action again but aside from that...idk.
As for Vickie Guerrero, its a very strange situation with her; on one hand- people want to boo her, its palpable that they want to boo her. On the other hand, she is Eddie's wife... so nobody does boo her...awkward.
Also, she's no actress.
Really this just goes back to my opinion that there shant have been gimmicks and storylines about Eddie after his death, as they all have been pretty lame in my opinion anyway.

I don't know what is more disquieting -- the fact that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it has four toes. | kentish
