Ok, time for the rarbear report! I liked the show, but not really for the matches, most of them sucked. But I liked it for the history snippets, since it filled in some gaps for me.  And the backstage party stuff was actually pretty funny.

But for the matches: First up, Batista v. Kane, yawnz. Ooo, shocking new move in Batista's arsenal: an ankle lock! I mean somebody stop me if I'm wrong, but isn't an ankle lock pretty elementary? Anyway, boring match.

First seg: Michael Cole made me cringe, Maria made me cringe more (is she supposed to be like fashion's worst nightmare or something?), Punk was awesome, Vickie made me cringe some more, Santino finally made me laugh. Good all in all though. I didn't mute it.

Second seg: Iron Sheik in the VIP lounge, nothing else needs to be said.

Eddie Guerrero spotlight: I loved it because I missed out on some good times with Eddie. Love or shameless promotion? I'm not sure, but it seems appropriate in a decade show.

Ok, I liked the tag match with Morrison/Kingston v. Ziggler/Miz, mainly because I like everyone involved, even Jack Swagger on the outside. It was the only useful cross promotional thing on there.  They even did a good job of playing with the Morrison/Miz history without screwing up the main foci feuds involved.

Third party seg: I actually injured myself making a mad grab for the remote to mute karaoke with Yoshi Tatsu, Kung Funaki and Jillian. But at least Michael Cole finally did something useful by ralfing on Jericho's shoes.

I haven't missed the Rock. He got the mute in pretty short order. But I did unmute long enough to catch him insulting Punk with all the aplomb of a third grader. And people wonder why I hate that stupid monkey.

Diva's Lumberjack match is a contradiction in terms.

Zombie TV: Always nice to hear from the Undertaker. While it's all stuff you've heard before, it is interesting to hear him imply that he will break Punk's Edge.

Party 4: Go Drew Go. At least R-Truth didn't sing and some stuff finally got busted up.

8 man tag: They introduced it as "the biggest 8 man tag in Smackdown history" like they really desperately wanted you to believe it.  I had zero interest in watching 75% of the participants in the match and was still miffed about the complete omission of Punk's volatile history with Legacy, so yeah, it was pretty much suckage on a stick. I was just waiting for Punk to get in and like... he didn't. Oh yeah, but they played up Undertaker and HBK's history. Handy. Whatever. So sorry Punk isn't old enough or face enough to be allowed the privilege of a past. But hey, as long as super Cena can pick up 2 guys instead of one it's still a great show right? Wrong! How about the SMACKDOWN World Champion on your SMACKDOWN 10 year celebration? You know, that guy standing in the corner being ignored? Some celebration, while you put over those moronic turds from RAW.

I'm really just livid that their idea of putting Punk over in this show was to have the Rock mention him and my idea would have been for him to take a firehouse to the celebration party over the alcohol, or walk out on the main event because of the history or something dramatic, memorable or important seeing as he's oh I dunno... IMPORTANT! Silly me.
