The opening match was a Bellfast Brawl... not another one. Do you realize that a Bellfast Brawl is just a street fight?
It's only called Bellfast because Finlay's hometown is Bellfast, Northern Ireland.
Why must we, the WWE Universe, be subjected to a Bellfast Brawl?
As my DVR fast forwarded through the match - I paused - because Finlay grabbed hold of a steel chair and attacked Knox with it.
Huh? That's right, a steel chair! But Mike Knox overpowered the Irishman and a trash can comes into play.
Finlay avoided Knox from the crushing blows of the can.
Then... a table is brought into the ring by the bearded giant.
Steel chair, trash can, table? This isn't ECW.
Yet, a hellacious mid-air collision renders them both nearly unconscious - But it was Finlay that instinctively hooked the leg of Mike Knox and gained the victory.
The following match was DH Smith of The Hart Dynasty vs. The Great Khali.
Now, I've mentioned before that the Hart Dynasty have what it takes to become a dominate force in the WWE. The problem is... they have no personality.
Sure, Natalya acts as the mouth piece from time to time, but the WWE is not just about skills. This is Sports Entertainment - you need impressive mic skills to go over big in this business.
Kane proved on WWE Superstars in a singapore cane match against Jimmy Wang Yang (yeah, I know - he's not released) that he has all the momentum going into the match. Something hilarious Grisham mentioned about the match - Kane knocked Jimmy Wang Yang back to Asia. I could not believe Todd said that.
The DH Smith and Khali match appeared to be a squash match, until we found out seconds later that it was an ambush.
Kane attacked Khali from behind - But a Khali Chop and the Punjabi Plunge knocks Kane out!
And yes, the WWE Universe will once again be forced to watch Khali and Kane fight - but this time they through Singapore canes into the mix. Why not something crazy, like a Tables match? I'd like to see a Giant go through a table, How about you?
The Unified Tag Team Champions - not faring so well with loses on RAW - entered the arena with their awesome new entrance theme. A tag team match against Cryme Tyme - might as well call it an exhibition match.
JTG getting the upper hand on Jericho at the start of the match - causes Y2J to lose his cool. Especially, when Shad Gaspard - taking a page from The Ultimate Warrior - executes a Gorilla Press on Jericho.
Shad also tries to even his strength with Big Show through flying uppercuts that knock the Big Show flat on his back.
But, when JTG pulls a Shelton Benjamin, a Shawn Michaels, as he wills his way back into the ring by holding unto the top rope - He is Knocked Out by Big Show with a hellacious Knock Out Punch!
Jericho picks up the win, turning their luck around as they gain momentum into this Sunday's ppv match as the defend the Unified Tag Team Titles against MVP and Mark Henry.
But if we have learned anything about the match - MVP and Mark Henry know that the key to winning the titles is to isolate Jericho and avoid the knock out punch by Big Show.
