Wins:
Chris Jericho Promo: A well-written Promo. 100% Jericho. This new feud with Tyson Kidd sounds interesting. I love how Kidd is defending the Hart name as if it's a championship of it's own.
I mentioned it before; we need to make some new Main Eventers. The idea was pitched to me to separate The Hart Dynasty, and I did. Kidd seems fitting as a Shelton Benjamin-esque face and I think with some time, he could be established as a top guy on RAW.
Shane McMahon w/ Striker Boyd: An Interesting preview for next week. The only downside is that you said No Mercy when I think you mean Survivor Series.
I most certainly did not mean Survivor Series. This seems to be a mistake that many people have made recently. It goes Breaking Point, Bragging Rights, No Mercy, Survivor Series. WWE's was Breaking Point, Hell in a Cell, Bragging Rights, Survivor Series. We just did ours a little bit differently because Hell in a Cell (PPV) sucks.
Bragging Rights Recap: That match was a 6/5 match without a doubt. I can't wait to see what Oxford will do next. I'm at the edge of my seat, literally.
That's one of the only storylines I'm sure about right now. It'll be continued next week on RAW, I just wanted to play up the seriousness of the Match and the toll it took on both guys by 'giving them a week off'.
Todd Grisham interviews Shawn Michaels: Another well-written interview. You can say it's about time HBK returns to the Championship status.
Yeah, everyone really liked their first encounter, and I'm sure that a lot of people will like this one as well. I'll do my best to make it an entertaining read.
Tyson Kidd vs. Chris Jericho: Wow. Why is this the only match on the Win side? No matter. This ALMOST makes it up. a surprise in every corner. Kidd winning was the best surprise. Although I don't think Kidd won't celebrate for long...
Tyson Kidd's win was inspired by Shelton Benjamin's RAW Debut in 2004. I sort of wanted to play this up, and the background made a ton of sense. I do intend for this feud to continue.
Losses:
Matt Hardy vs. Jack Swagger: It was an OK match. pretty much skimmed it because it was meh. Although this upcoming Matt Hardy/Miz feud might get interesting.
This was surprising, because I really liked that Match. I enjoyed writing it and I felt for a Midcard Match, it was really well put together. To each his own, though. Maybe it was just me.
Kylarnartia vs. Mark Henry: What's to talk about? Kyle's a jobber. Henry's a squasher. Nothing else to talk about. I'll ask Soul as soon as I can on whether or not he's still interested. Another error: you said Super Crazy instead of Kylarnartia.
Originally, it was going to be Super Crazy. I checked the Jobber Database and Super Crazy was no longer on the list, so I went with Kylarnartia instead. My apologies. If you could ask him, that would help. Either way, I can keep Kylarnartia around for jobbing purposes because it's nice to have a couple of jobbers that I can use to enhance newer guys.
Alex Comuteza found unconscious: Well, it was kinda expected. Alex puts Cloud, I mean Scott threw a table and he hits him with God-knows-what. What will happen, I don't know. Overall: it was meh.
This feud will pick up, but it's something that I want to span multiple Pay-Per-Views, not drag out. That being said, I'm taking it step-by-step, week-by-week, rather than saying "Hey, guys, let's have one Match and call it quits!". You know?
Striker Boyd talks to Tyson Kidd: An OK conversation. Nothing too exciting. I mean, Tyson goes from Tag Team division to Main Eventer in about 24 hours.
No one said Tyson Kidd's a Main Eventer, really. He got what many would call a lucky win, and one win's not really enough to get you into Main Event Status. The conversation was to further the importance of Kidd's Match, give it a more underdog feel, and 'hype' the No Mercy Championship Scramble Match. All in all, I appreciate your opinions and honesty and I'll be adding +10 points to Brownlee's ranking. Thanks for taking the time to review the episode.
Overall: It was a decent show. At best, it deserves a B-.
