|  #1 Posted on 22.9.07 1828.22 | Instant Rating: 3.04 | This episode featured the "biggest wedding in the history of television" (at least that's how Michael Cole described it at the beginning of the show, channeling his inner Tony Schiavone) and no one sees fit to start a thread about it?
As for the big event itself, they were actually able to pull off something that was fairly entertaining (at least as far as wrestling weddings go), but it wasn't enough for them to just have Teddy and Krystal exchange their "I do"s and then ride off into the sunset ... Nope, they had to play the stupid card and "spice" things up with a heart attack angle; I would say that having a lot of the recent wrestler deaths occur due to enlarged hearts would make this angle incredibly inappropriate, but it would really just be wasting my breath typing fingers at this point.
But if they were going to go down this dark path, couldn't they at LEAST have made me laugh by giving Teddy the line "I'm comin' to join ya Elizabeth!" before keeling over?

I am convinced that I am watching this show purely for MVP and Matt Hardy. For a feud that started off boring, they've easily become the best feud in the company right now. Although JBL's moment of greatness last night was pretty cool, too.

| #3 Posted on 22.9.07 2053.56 | Instant Rating: 7.29 | The whole thing was pretty hit and miss with me. Most of my enjoyment came from watching the assembled wrestlers and seeing who was actually bothering to react to things in character. I'm sure that type of continuity isn't the sort of the thing they want us to be thinking about for this type of thing, but when its so long and soooo stupid you just have to try and find the stuff worth laughing at so that you don't start wondering just exactly WHY the heel divas are all teary eyed over this wedding, or just how exactly Kelly Kelly is going to feel over Balls Mahoney running off with the ho-train (that was my girlfriends complaint; she's a big fan of that angle, mainly cuz she pretty keen on a diva she can't stand one day having to make out with a toothless fat guy on live television). Little things like CM Punk no selling the stupid arm waving R&B sing along, Vince chasing Coach and Hornswoggle to the back while still using the McMahon strut, Melina and Beth Phoenix being outraged over the ho-train as soon as they showed up, Elijah Burke's reactions to pretty much everything, Kristal's reactions to all the shenanigans up until the heart attack... all very enjoyable. The main goings on were watchable, just kind of groan inducing, but then the heart attack ending... ugh.

WWE.com is reporting that the heart attack was caused by hypertension aggravated by the ingestion of VIAGRA.
Russo's still with TNA, right? Just checking.

Russo wouldn't have written a "Vickie gives Teddy a blue pill" segment weeks earlier. (Maybe MINUTES earlier.)

You forget the awesomeness of Kane poping up through the floor during Edge and Lita's wedding.

The only thing I found out-of-character was CM Punk jumping up and down wanting to get on the Ho Train. Part of being Straight Edge is no promiscuous sex, and he even brought this up in an "is CM Punk the McMahon bastard?" promo a few weeks ago on Raw. | CxMorgado

Well he IS Chick Magnet Punk after all, ha ha.
But yeah, speaking as someone who is Straight Edge, I can tell you that lots of Straight Edge kids don't play by the "third rule". Its kind of like vegetarianism... it fits, but the basic premise is don't drink, smoke or do drugs, and anything else is just kind of your personal spin on it. So if he hadn't had brought up during the McMahon bastard hunt, I wouldn't have even thought twice about it. But he did, so I did, and then I shrugged it off as them just wanting an excuse to get everyone backstage. Plus then I saw Pat Patterson holding Gerald Brisco in his seat and I lost it.
And I guess I should have clarified a little, I didn't mean reacting strictly "in character", but also reacting with character.
