Diva Tag Match, Beth Phoenix & Rosa Mendes vs Nikki & Brie (The Bella Twins) - No real action to speak of with Phoenix taking the rather predictable win & even she must be tiring of the constant squash matches by now?
Video package of how Orton cheated his way to Batistas title. Did no-one point out to the ref the 2 extra guys in the ring that Orton should have instantly been DQ'd on outside interference for?
Evan Bourne vs Zack Ryder - Ryder couldn't decide which member of Too Cool he wanted to be so he dressed like them both? This started slow & stayed that way a LONG time, Ryder seems to love cheap heat and clearly doesn't mind it (someone needs to tell him cheap heat is s**t heat though). Ryder was all technical matwork (can he not wrestle at pace or does he gas out too quickly?) and everything vaguely exciting or entertaining came from Bourne who unfortunately has been studying at the RVD & Sabu schools of high flying and is currently working taped up. Bourne took the win off the Shooting Star Press. This was average at best, though to Riley the RSPW'er who thought this was an actual match I'd recommend watching a few of AJ Styles or Chris Daniels matches in TNA as this was average by their standards.
Chris Jericho vs John Morrison - Jericho clearly isn't over with this crowd judging by his reception as he came to the ring, I guess he stopped being over after he left to try life with his band Fozzy then came back as that obviously wasn't earning him WWE kind of money. Frankly I don't rate Morrison and never have, I feel they push him for his looks and physique as the guy rarely displaying any wrestling prowess and Jericho has been half hearted about his work rate since his return to WWE.
Morrison surprised me with a corkscrew dive onto Jericho over the top rope to the floor then those stupid f**kers in WWE cut to an advert just as things had started to look vaguely interesting completely missing Morrisons moment on top as Jericho was firmly in charge as they came back from the break. With 6 minutes of tv time left Jericho slowed it right down and really had to as he was puffing & blowing like he'd actually been doing something, Jericho was running on empty and went to wear down moves on Morrison. Morrison cranked it up several notches (so the big haired f**ker can actual wrestle then!) and Jericho badly flubbed the sell on Morrisons knee to "the temple" as the colour desk called it.
Jericho took the eventual and very scrappy win off a roll-up with the assistance of a handfull of Morrisons trousers but Morrison was by far the better worker here. All I can say to Chris Jericho is if your going to phone in a performance like that then quit whilst we vaguely still abhore you, Jericho has never bother to try and recapture his old level of fitness and muscle definition since returning and quite frankly I think he only turns up for the pay cheque.
