Proves that Orton is a fluke and Triple H controls RAW

What an average pay per view. It seems clear that from the list

of average list of ppvs from the WWE after Wrestlemania have

been average at best. As one fan on IMDb pointed out, the

problem is that there is special treatment given to such wrestlers

such as TripleH who married Stephanie McMahon and thus

people hitting himself together with Vince McMahon his father in

law, to do as he pleases. In this case it involves Holding the title,

while giving us one pitiful performance after another using

sledgehammers and a chair when a great opponent like Chris

Benoit or others threaten him.

The other problem also stated is that each ppvs seems to

be just one long RAW or Smackdown episode with nothing really

being resolved, such as the JBL vs Undertaker affair.

World Heavyweight Championship Triple H vs Randy Orton

Average fight don't let the other reviews fool you. I am

one of a few people who predicted Orton would lose the title

right after Summerslam. Randy Orton was made the youngest

champ to remove Brock Lesnar of the histiry books plain and

simple. Triple H with help from Evolution regains the title

and stops Orton's streak.

Shawn Michaels vs Kane

So so match. Kane is a stupid story with Lita being pregnant

(which she isn't) and she names Michaels his opponent for

revenge. A decent match, but Michaels is getting to old

for these beatings and still coming out the winner.

Chris Benoit & William Regal vs Ric Flair & Batista

Again so so match, Benoit should be wrestling for the title

against Orton, but instead hes jobbed into wrestling Evolution,

World Tag Team Championship La Resistance vs Rhyno & Tajiri

Again one law RAW rivalry that went nowhere. La Resistance

is giving a threat by Rhyno and Tajiri, but they easily

take care of business.

Womens Championship Trish Stratus vs Victoria

Interesting match, both Victoria and Trish are bonified sex

symbols on RAW, and they both can wrestle. Decent.

Overall an average ppv, no wonder no one forks over fifty

or thirty dollars for these mediocre ppvs. Taboo Tuesday

was also a flop it seems the writers for the WWE still

haven't learned how to write up a good pay per view.
