Backlash 2008 Review

I don’t know this guy, but it’s a good review of the show.

King of the Ring 2008

Having a part-time wrestler defeat the Money in the Bank winner is a terrible move. This could have been a great moment for any number of wrestlers. However, the WWE has squandered a golden opportunity to build Matt Hardy, MVP or push Jericho to his inevitable heel turn. I understand the idea of having a GM who is a king. It’ll garner a few laughs; but, this looks like a lousy idea.

On an aside, having the U.S. champion and Intercontinental champion face off in a free match as a part of KOTR is another mistake. That match could have easily been built up as the meeting of the champions. Nope, another hot-shotted angle.

At least there were some good matches to come from this year’s tourney.
