I'm still not sure if I am happy about the fact that RUN-DMC and Aerosmith lowered themselves as to appear on stage with Kid Rock. The segment was neat but it's still Kid Rock.

                                What Worked

Jackie proved she was a real man and took a beating from Jeff Jarrett to get him over more. Jackie will always wildly bump and she stepped into the King-Sized clothesline. I have no problems with that.
The number #1 contenders tag match was good as a 10 minute match occurs in a three minute time frame. I like the idea of Edge and Christian going over because the potential to move the titles off of the big non-workers just took another step towards becoming a reality.
The Hardys actually play the dominant team for once in their WWF lives as they rough up the Hollys. Erin O'Grady, who had done nothing since showing up in the WWF, finally gets to do a bit of wrestling. Matt and Jeff continue to come up with creative new double teams like the suplex into senton combo. The Hollys get the surprise win but pay for it in the end so no complaints will be forecoming.
   I was so close to being right. Back in July, I thought it was going to be Bob Holly and Al Snow rehashing each other's failed gimmicks. Instead Snow's rehashing his own failed gimmicks. I'm giving myself an A for effort.

                            What Didn't Work

  This week's winner of the ambiguously gay award (previous winners: Lenny, Lodi and The Rock) is Val Venis as he checks out the Big Load's dick. The Big Load then does what any red-blooded American would do - beats the shit out of
him. Still wasn't any good though.
Speaking of the Big Load, how on God's green earth did he manage to get so much camera time. Was it because his slow fat ass couldn't get out of the camera shot quick enough? Just my theory.
It's pretty bad that the women's hardcore match was better than the men's hardcore matches the WSEF has been having recently. It might have made the top half of the column had they shown the whole match. But alas Tori and Ivory continue to reside down here.
The tag title switch was an overbooked piece of shit that looked like it came straight from the blood laced pen of Paul Heyman.
Someone please give Pat Patterson a Manzier. I was blinded by pasty whiteness so I missed the actual match.
Jericho's all talk, no wrestle act is wearing thin. The PPV can't come quick enough for him.
  I don't remember details of the D'Lo Brown - Steve Blackman match but since it had Blackman in it I am assuming it goes down here.
The world's most heatless crowd gets what they deserve - a Triple H/Billy Gunn main event. With a Kane run-in to boot. Fuck You!

PHIL THE RIPPER RIPPA!
