WWE Vengeance (2007 TV Special)
6/10
Not a bad show on the whole
24 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
1) The Hardys vs. Cade and Murdoch, for the World Tag Team titles. Fair opener, perhaps a bit better than their "Backlash" encounter (6/10).

2) Chavo Guerrero vs. Jimmy Wang Yang, for the Cruiserweight title. A good little match, mostly thanks to JWY (previously known as Akio), who can be a quite spectacular high-flyer (6/10).

3) Nitro vs. CM Punk, for the ECW title. My pick for best match of the night, between two well-matched and highly athletic opponents (7/10).

4) Umaga vs. Santino Marella, for the IC title. The first dud of the night: a 3-minute squash that makes then-champion Marella look like a joke (3/10).

5) MVP vs. Ric Flair, for the US title. The second dud in a row, though the crowd is undeniably into it (4/10).

6) Deuce and Domino vs. Sgt. Slaughter and Jimmy Snuka, for the WWE Tag Team titles. A waste of time. Did anyone really think they were going to give the belts to two retired guest wrestlers? (4/10).

7) Edge vs. Batista, for the World Heavyweight title. This match is surprisingly exciting with lots of near-falls, but the finish is pretty lame (7/10).

8) Melina vs. Candice, for the Women's title. A fair (if short) match, but IMO the decision to give Candice the title at this point was wrong - she was not ready yet, and Melina is clearly the superior wrestler here (5/10)

9) Cena vs. Orton vs. Lashley vs. Mick Foley vs. Booker T, for the WWE title. An entertaining mess, with an almost insultingly predictable outcome (6/10).
