November 2005

This was closer to the type of match I want to see from John Cena and Kurt Angle. There was some bullshit with the refs that tied into the finish but the action was good. I did notice a weakness in Cena's selling when transitioning back onto offense. I can usually live with that sort of thing but Cena's shortcomings stick out like a sore thumb.

Triple H predictably gets his win back from Taboo Tuesday. The match is okay, mostly thanks to Ric bleeding, but it's excessively long. Ric kicks out of three pedigrees at the end only to go down to a sledgehammer shot. I'm pretty sure one pedigree was enough.
