I knew you'd say that too! I disagree, I think there were a fair few spots that were saved by SC Blue, but they both had some poor positioning and timing on some spots. I'd say it was roughly 50/50 on who was responsible.

Indeed, but I was just surprised that they had Hunico announce in spanish the entire reason behind it, but stopped short of doing an on air English run through (though they've done it on the website)

JoMo is just screwing himself over at this point though. But credit to him for walking through everything the WWE have thrown at him.
I like Rhodes, he's a good talker, and can work a decent match. He's no main eventer, but as a midcarder he's pretty strong.

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.

Aye, I was interested at the start of this angle, the idea that women wrestlers were going to take back the division from the barbie doll divas was awesome, but like everything else it just hasn't panned out how it should. K2 looks way stronger than she should, and Beth looks pretty foolish. Give it a few more months and we'll be back to Jerry Lawler shouting about puppies.

Aye, they're using him pretty well now, I just hope it carries on. He's got such great expressionism as well. He's often way more entertaining than the matches!

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.

Aye I was expecting a Mark Henry style cage door ripping, but no doubt he'll now claim Del Rio isn't legitimate because he didn't beat him, he just locked him out of the match. I hope Del Rio goes clean over him in the rematch, but it'll probably be an interference or DQ victory.
I definitely think we'll be seeing a Johnny Ace power move on Raw tonight, a class action with the rest of the locker room wanting HHH removed from power. I'm loving the new carlton style Otunga as well, who'd have thought that putting wresters in roles they're familiar with would lead to them actually being good
