Randy Orton Promo

Orton introducing a therapist and two lawyers to say his suffers from IED was a nice play up on his storyline.  The threat of two lawsuits compounds the story even more and makes for a more dynamic situation.  Orton's reading of the apology was kinda eerie though.
Score: 5 out of 5

World Tag Team Title Match
The Miz and John Morrison vs Cryme Tyme

It was kinda obvious that they were gonna keep the belts on Miz and Morrison to play up to their heel characters.  The match itself wasn't that bad but I don't think the crowd was into that match too much.  When the crowd isn't in the match, you know something's wrong with it.
Score:  3 out of 5

JBL Promo

It was an okay promo, but having the premise that HBK and Cena were going at it again is kinda old.
Score:  4.5 out of 5

Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
Kofi Kingston vs Kane

A very nice match with an upset victory to boot.  I thought Kane's reaction was superb.
Score:  5 out of 5

Chris Jericho Promo

The promo was steered toward Mickey Rourke stating that Ric Flair and Roddy Piper were teaching him and he may challenge Jericho at Wrestlemania.  Great, another celebrity, just like last year, wants to get into the ring.  If Rourke gets alot of money like Floyd Maywether did last year, it will trumped and very boring.
Score:  4.5 out of 5

Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
John Cena vs Shawn Micheals

The match was ok at best, but I've seen better from these two.  It was nothing like the amazing match they had a couple of weeks ago.
Score:  4 out of 5

Melina and Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix and Jillian Hall

I thought it would have been more interesting to have Beth pin Melina rather than Kelly.  It would have added more fire to their rivalry.
Score:  3.5 out of 5

Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
Rey Mysterio vs William Regal

My only beef with this match is that the crowd wasn't into it until close to the end of the match.  Other than that, perfect.
Score:  4.5 out of 5

Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
C.M. Punk vs Chris Jericho

These two had a great steel cage match a few months ago, but this match kinda fell short.  Jericho's execution of the Codebreaker was very poor.  They should have given this match more thought and time.
Score:  3.5 out of 5

Stephanie/Orton Confrontation

What a shocking twist to have not only all the superstars confront Orton on stage, but to have Shane come out and assault Orton.  Now I won't bring in the fact that Shane could have done better throwing his punches because of the shock value of his return.  Having Shane go after him was a nice move and makes the storyline entertaining in my book.
Score:  5 out of 5
