This Armageddon PPV was just bad

[kliko400 · 5/10 · 18 January 2007]

This PPV was just seriously bad. Why are all Armageddon PPV's like this, they're always boring & the matches are not booked properly.

FIRST MATCH- BOOKER T VS. MARK HENRY W/ THEODORE LONG Okay opener, & also not a bad match between these two men. After Henry already broke out of a Scissors Kick, Booker T nails another one to get the win against the so-called World's Strongest Man Mark Henry. 4/10

SECOND MATCH- ROB VAN DAM VS. RANDY ORTON W/ RIC FLAIR FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: MICK FOLEY This was probably the only good match on the card. Great action from both RVD & Orton. They could sometimes probably be in the mainevent picture hopefully in the future. After RVD knocks down Orton & goes on top for the Frog Splash, Flair tries to interfere giving the distraction perfect for Orton to nail a Super RKO from the top on RVD for the win to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion. 5/10

THIRD MATCH- SHAWN MICHAELS VS. BATISTA W/ RIC FLAIR Sort of like a big man vs. big man match. The match itself was boring & Michaels gets the win after reversing a Powerbomb then nailing the Sweet Chin Music on Batista for the win. After the match Batista goes seriously psycho over his loss. 3/10

FOURTH MATCH- MAVEN VS. MATT HARDY {This match was announced on Heat}. This match didn't really start, Batista was still in the ring when Maven came down for his match with Matt Hardy. Batista went totally psycho & Powerbombed Maven 5 times. Therefore Matt Hardy came down to the ring, called a referee to start the match & covered Maven for the 3 count & declared himself the winner as this match did not really start. 1/10

FIFTH MATCH- CHRIS JERICHO & Christian VS. LITA & TRISH STRATUS IN A BATTLE OF THE SEXES TAG TEAM MATCH This match is just lame, man vs. woman, this match & this PPV is just a waste of time. Christian wins after a roll-up on Trish. 2/10

SIXTH MATCH- DUDLEY BOYS VS. LA RESISTANCE VS. MARK JINDRAK & GARRISON CADE VS. LANCE STORM & VAL VENIS VS. ROSEY & HURRICANE VS. TEST & SCOTT STEINER IN A TAG TEAM TURMOIL MATCH FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Now I seriously like Tag Team Turmoil matches but I almost fell asleep watching this match, honestly no kidding. Dudley Boys win the match to retain their World Tag Team titles. After the match the Dudley Boys celebration is cut short when Eric Bischoff comes & announces that there is one more team to fight against. That team happens to be Ric Flair & Batista who dismantle the Dudley Boys as Batista nails a Powerbomb on D-Von for the win as Ric Flair & Batista are the new World Tag Team Champions. 4/10

SEVENTH MATCH- MOLLY HOLLY VS. IVORY FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP It could of at least been a solid Diva match if there was more time in it but it took like 5 minutes or something. Anyway Molly Holly gets the win to retain her WWE Women's Championship. 2/10

EIGHT MATCH- GOLDBERG VS. TRIPLE H VS. KANE IN A TRIPLE-THREAT MATCH FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Call this a mainevent & it doesn't even end properly. This was just boring. Goldberg gets ganged up by Kane & HHH during the match, but still manages to fight his way through this match. Unfortunately Kane gets the Chokeslam on Goldberg & is about to cover when Evolution {Ric Flair, Randy Orton & Batista} interfere & distract Kane enough for HHH to cover Goldberg for the 3 count to win the match & become the new World Heavyweight Champion making Evolution hold all the titles on Raw. 3/10

This PPV was bad & I only enjoyed the Orton-RVD match only in my opinion. The rest of the matches were boring, seriously just boring.

Overall: I'll give it 5/10 & a D

Another passable PPV, which means that WWE is in desperate need of new talent and ideas.

The first match sees Booker T put into a crap feud with Mark Henry in a real stinker! Why Booker T was wrestling this guy I'll never know!

Then the next match was certainly the best match on the card. Intercontinental Champion RVD faces off against Randy Orton, with Mick Foley as referee. Of course Ric Flair had to be there to run around like an idiot, but these two guys worked a very good match. Orton wins with an RKO. Next up Christian and Chris Jericho battle Lita and Trish Stratus in a good battle of the sexes match.

Next up Shawn Michaels takes on Batista, which somehow doesn't live up to the billing. HBK wins via Sweet Chin Music. Then Maven makes his way down to the ringside area to battle Matt Hardy. Only trouble is Batista still angry and upset over his loss to HBK is still in the ring. He then batters Maven and Matt Hardy wins without having to get in the ring!

Next up the tag team turmoil match takes place. The teams included The Dudley Boyz, Rosey and The Hurricane, Test and Scott Steiner, Garrison Cade and Mark Jindrak, Lance Storm and Val Venis and Batista and Ric Flair. Ric and Batty win. This was a passable match.

Next up Goldberg puts his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Kane and Triple H. This was OK, but obviously HHH won!

Could have been better!

Henry vs Booker - 3/10 Orton vs RVD - 9/10 Ivory vs Molly - 4/10 Trish/Lita vs Y2J/Christian - 6/10 HBK vs Batty - 4/10 Tag Team turmoil - 5/10 Kane vs Goldberg vs HHH - 7/10 Maven vs Hardy - 0/10
