Whew!!!
What an event! One of the best PPVs I've seen, no doubt about it. Quick rundown of my personal thoughts.
Christian v Storm
Good fight, as you'd expect, but I really hope that E and C don't stop being buddies as Edge turns into a cnut. I like their partnership.
6 man
I really dislike Bubba-Ray. His voice annoys me, his style of wrestling annoys me, the way he punches annoys me. I do like the APA though - I love watching "power" wrestlers (Albert would fall into this category too, of course).
Taj v X-Pac
Again, two very exciting wrestlers, another good fight with some good acrobatics.
Jericho v Rhyno
Jericho slipped off the ropes twice in this match, and he did it last week too. He needs to get some more grip on his soles. I hope that the kiss on Steph wasn't just a ploy for the match - if Y2J started wooing her that would be hilarious! (And a good feud set-up for HHH's return). I thought that Rhyno might have a thing for her...
RVD v Jeff
One of - if not the - best fights I've ever seen. They had really put some thought into innovation with the ladder, and I cringe at every bump they make. I'm with JR on this - I worry so much that they could end their careers in a second - I'd rather see the extreme less often but for another 10 years than twice a week for 3. But this match was phenomenal.
Undertaker and Kane v DDP and Kanyon
Nothing but a beating, as everyone knew it would be. I'm getting a litte tired of 'taker bringing Sara down to ringside every time now. It nearly always leads to a messed up fight. But with the cage, she was (marginally) safer, and the BoDs gave DDP what everyone hoped he'd get. It was funny watching Kane just sitting on the turnbuckle watching his brother beat the @#%$ out of DDP. Would have liked to have seen a tombstone, but oh well.
Austin v Angle
Angle got bust up well here - you could see him allowing his head to get rammed into the post rather than just faking it with his hand to make sure that he drew blood - good commitment. Again, annoying to see him get screwed, because a ref should play advantage, but oh well. That's how it goes. I'd rather have seen a more believable screwing, to be honest.
Booker v Rock
Booker's wrestling is improving, but it's still not good enough to be a WWF headliner. A fair match, but not brilliant. To be fair, they had a great card to top, and I can't see how they could have done it.
A great event, kick yourself if you missed it. Admittedly I'm knackered now (it finished at 1am) but it was worth it. The only thing that it missed was some T and A - normally they always stick some in PPVs, but Trish, Stacy and Torrie are all injured at the moment.

. I'm basically taking next year off from lifting as I've got officer training, but after that I've got the usual 300 / 400 / 500 goal (well, one third of the way there
