So, I was pissed that I didn't take the day off of work to watch the pay per view tonight. I mean, fuck, it was such an awesome card. Last Man Standing match, six man tag for the WWE Championship, Jericho against Ricky The Dragon Steamboat. Christian for the ECW title.
Then I managed to find a feed of a replay online and just sat here for three hours, rather than sleeping, to watch the damned thing. SO. WORTH. IT. Christian is ECW champion. Randy Orton is WWE Champion. Shane McMahon was in a match. Chris Jericho won. Edge is the World Heavyweight Champion. Jeff Hardy beat Matt Hardy in an I Quit match. Bitch all you want about gimmick matches, 'cause the show was heavy with them, but damn! He duct taped and tied his brother to a table, and then hopped over a ladder and landed on him.
Big Show threw Cena through a fucking spotlight. An actual spotlight that broke and caught on fire. Holy shit. They showed a bunch of replays of it and it was nasty.
...and even better, Christian came out at the end to check on Cena, which is SO gonna set up either an Edge and Christian feud, or an throwback to the E & C days. There might actually be a tag team division again. Honestly, that quick little cameo right there by Christian at the end, when Edge was hugging his belt totally made Backlash for me.
I forgot how much fun watching pro wrestling can be. Heh. Plus, they just announced a tour with dates in Kelowna and...meh, somewhere else. If they announce Vancouver anywhere on there, anytime soon, I'm completely and totally there.
Okay, I think I'm calmer now. Time for bed.
