Vengeance Recap

Just a quick look at Vengeance.

1. Hardyz vs. Cade + Murdoch
This was the typical solid match between these two. Rushed matches were the theme of the night and this match was no exception. Cade + Murdoch retain.

Unofficial Rating: 3 (out of 5)

2. Chavo Guerrero vs. Jimmy Wang Yang
This match was quite disappointing. I would have like to have seen a little bit more of a quicker pace throughout this one. Chavo retains his title.

Unofficial Rating: 2 (out of 5)

3. CM Punk vs. Johnny Nitro
Not sure why Johnny Nitro was picked as the replacement, as either of the New Breed would have seemed more qualified, but I do like Nitro. It's too bad he's lost all of his heat. I liked this match and we'll see where ECW goes with Johnny Nitro as champ.

Unofficial Rating: 3.25 (out of 5)

4. Santino Marella vs. Umaga
This was absolute garbage. Please take the IC belt of Marella.

Unofficial Rating: 0 (out of 5)

5. MVP vs. Ric Flair
I'm really surprised this match didn't get a few more minutes. MVP continues to look good, hopefully the crowd starts reacting to him better now that he is a legit US champ.

Unofficial Rating: 3 (out of 5)

6. Deuce + Domino vs. Jimmy Snuka + Sgt. Slaughter
More garbage that should have never been on pay-per-view.

Unofficial Rating: 0 (out of 5)

7. Edge vs. Batista
Things started off slow, but built up nicely until the screwy ending. Although, with the thin Smackdown roster, I can at least see the reasoning behind the decision. Edge is still your champ.

Unofficial Rating: 3.5 (out of 5)

8. Melina vs. Candice Michelle
We finally have our first (and only) champion losing. This wasn't as good as some of the stuff that's been on TV. Oh well.

Unofficial Rating: .5 (out of 5)

9. John Cena vs. King Booker vs. Mick Foley vs. Randy Orton vs. Lashley
They brought Mick Foley back for a ten minute match? This was a real fun match, even if it was sloppy. And then, out of nowhere, it was over. Just like that. Ten fricken minutes. This should have at least been fifteen. Five minutes can make a big difference. Cena pins Foley to retain.

Unofficial Rating: 3 (out of 5)

Well this wasn't that great of a show. You had two 0's and the rest was nothing out of the ordinary. Had a few of the matches gotten some more time, this would have been a much better show. They legend segments were a nice touch, but overall, a disappointing show. Hopefully the Bash will be better.

Overall Rating: 2.5 (out of 5)
