lol I knew you'd say that - SC Blue was responsible for the majority.

The whole two Sin Caras thing has been Hunico saying "you stole my name, and now I'm stealing yours" (this is essentially what Hunico said in spanish on Smackdown). It would have been a pretty awesome storyline if it was actually built properly, with commentators who actually knew how to put a feud over. Instead we just got a gallery of idiots going "herp derp which ones which, I think that ones the real one" with no backstory given at all.

WWE like to make you think there was little or no life before Vince. Giving the full back story would have been too close to acknowledging other wrestling companies, something Vince hates to do unless absolutely necessary.

The match itself was pretty decent. Rhodes holding onto the ring post trying for a countout was great, even if it made him look a bit weak after saying he'd defend it against anyone at any time, it was still pretty good. Only one way it was going to end though, with JoMo continuing his losing streak.

The only redeeming feature in that was the return of the classic belt. JoMo has enough talent to be more than a serial jobber, and I don't buy Rhodes as any sort of champion. He's got some skills but is too small IMO.

Really hard to suspend my disbelief for this match. Kelly is high on looks and eye-candy factor, low....very low on ability. We're supposed to believe that Beth, a muscular woman with great ability could only beat Kelly by getting her hit by a foreign object? Botch after botch in that match from Kelly. I really wish they hadn't turned Nattie heel as a good face/heel match between her and Beth would be well worth looking forward to. As it stands we can look forward to weeks of Beth going over but only after been made to look stupid by poor quality opposition.

The only thing it does is pushes CM Punk out of the title scene (he's had his rematch) and give Cena another title shot one on one with Del Rio.
The closing sequence, with Miz and R Truth, was gold. HHH has completely lost control, the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Be interesting to see how it all plays out on Raw tonight.

A friend of mine worked with Recardo when she was as FCW with him and she said he's very green but as they say there, he's got 'big paws'. He has tons of potential and will be a great worker in a few years if they use him properly.
Enjoyed the match and the ending had an excellent 'WTF?' feel to it. Agreed having Cena locked out was a stroke of genius although given his 'Superman' status it wouldn't have surprised me if they had him rip the door off or something stupid. The ending worked well although I'm surprised Cena lost seeing as he only won the title a month ago. The WWE Championship needs a nice long reign so I'm hoping ADR hold on to it for a while.
Miz and Truth's involvement was excellent too. You watch - Johnny Ace will threaten to bring charges against HHH for assault unless he resigns which will lead to Vince coming back and regaining his company.
