that's a pretty full spreadsheet.
- Michaels/HBK was a draw so it go no contest points.
- I listed everybody who played some kind of role in the show. The legends in the ring who did nothing got no points. Not that it matters but I think its accurate.
- The Smackdown match started and then was cancelled. So they got 10 for a no contest as well.

Wow lotsa points. The HHH/Flair thing went on way too long. Flair woulda been dead.

Good job Farn. Thanks.
Thoughts here?
- I laughed my ass off when Conway came down to insult the legends. Freakin' hilarious. How BAD is it when you are the chump who has to go get beat down by a bunch of 60 year olds, and be the victim of a Jimmy Snooka splash. Loved the "you've got to change your Depends" line. I guess there's 2 ways to look at it: 1 - how humiliating to have to be the one to get beat on by old farts; but 2 - it hopefully adds heat and builds the narcicistic character. I guess if you're Conway you have to make the best of it.
- You've got to give VKM credit. He isn't ashamed to make an ass out of himself for the good of the show. He and Austin didn't have the usual chemistry - the dialogue looked forced and Vince over-acted his being 'scared' a bit -- but it was a blast seeing the entire McMahon family (I miss Shane - and was it me or does Steph look saggy up top?), and for ALL of them, even Linda, to get Stunners and be laid out was pretty funny.
- Some great spots in the Edge/Hardy match. Great splash from the ring apron through the table by Edge on Hardy. Nice twist of fate from near the top of the ladder. And I think Lita's breast surgeon's eyes were a bit to big for his stomach. Those things are HUGE and are just TOO disproportionate for her body. Give her some more up there, fine, but she goes from looking athletic to looking out of whack.
Time for a meeting......

- Angle and Michaels was great. Outstanding wrestling, good intensity, holds, reversals etc. Bum ending but obviously setting things up for a longer term feud which is a good thing for these 2.
- HHH looks like he spent a lot of time at the buffet line, including going back for seconds. I also don't think he drank light beer. One online columnist somewhere commented how it might help HHH if there was a character change of some kind....make it a bit fresh. I remember the intensity of the reaction when he came back after the quad injury - fans loved him, and the lead up to the Jericho/HHH unified belt championship at WM X-8(?) match was excellent. Jericho playing the heel hooking up with Steph who was out to screw her husband. Errrr, screw him in business that is. He got a pretty big pop coming back - I'm surprised they didn't wait and drag out that turn a bit more...but I guess they wanted the spectacular for "Homecoming" so that was part of it. Now we get the same stale, "I am the Game", sledge-toting HHH. Blah.
