A very average PPV IMO. I got an overwhelming sense of deja vu during the Cena/Big Show and Orton/Batista matches. Morrison/Benjamin was the match of the night for me.

I didn't order this one but I've heard very good things about some of the matches, despite the lack of title changes (there have been too many recently anyway), particularly Morrison v Shelton, Rey v Y2J and Edge v Hardy...
Cena v Show and Orton v Batista were never going to be the best matches on the card.

Another PPV!
Does anyone else think that maybe there are to many PPV's.

Post by -Big Dan- on May 19, 2009 14:24:32 GMT 1
I do actually think so. I think they should be every other month instead of every 4 weeks or so.

They should be limited to 12 at the very most, rather than the 14 we currently have and like Edge said, it should probably be less.
Too many of them are just filler shows, like Judgment Day was (although the in-ring action was very good, I hear). I remember the days of 4 PPVs a year. Each one was made to seem like a really big deal.

Next week's Raw has been moved from Denver to the Staples Center in LA. This is because of the Denver Nuggets playing an NBA playoff game at the schedule Raw venue.
WWE has received a lot of publicity in the US about the situation and has hit out at Stan Kroenke, owner of the Nuggets and the Pepsi Center (and prospective owner of Arsenal) for not having enough belief in his team to keep the date free. It's possible WWE may sue Kroenke as they will have to refund fans who bought tickets for the Denver show.

FASCINATING FACT:
Batista's match with Orton at Judgment Day was his 28th world title match at a PPV but his FIRST for the WWE title...
(Not including the tag match at Backlash, as he couldn't actually win the title in that match)

Mr Kennedy has been released. That's such a shame because KK had alot of potential.

Even with his injury problems, that's a shock.
He had the potential to be a huge star but a mixture of bad luck and stupidity cost him...
