You know what's good! By now, we know about who
won at the PPV. Today we brush on the overall
PPV itself, and discus the what each win/loss
means for the WWE Superstars...Let's get it!
About Fatal 4 Way...
I'll give credit here in saying that this PPV turned out better than I expected it to.Nobody can call this on "predictable". I missed ALL of my picks on this PPV. What was a bit predictable though, was the invasion by NXT or N7. This of course lead to us having a NEW
Doubleya Doubleya E Champion. LOL! That said,
it's the change in champions that will be the gamble here. I'll take it, and give Fatal 4 Way, a 4 out of 5!
So what now? Let's look at the champs...
Sheamus is WWE champion. Winning at Fatal 4 Way was big for him. Since taking out HHH, Sheamus
has done just enough to stay in the "Big Spotlight". THIS win shows that he deserves to be there.
And any talk about this win being a fluke because of NXT can go to rest. NXT invading don't mean nothin'. If Cena would've won, C-Nation would've said that he won despite all odds. If Orton did, then, he would have
been in the right place at the right time. God forbid that Edge would've won. This would've been another example of him being the "ultimate opportunist". So if it's supposed to be cool for those guys to win under the same conditions, then I don't mind Sheamus winning like that one little bit.
"AaaaawwwSooommeee!" The Miz was impressive at
Fatal 4 Way in landing a Clean Pin on R-Truth in
order to defend his US title! This win is huge for Miz. Remember, his last title run was plagued with him also going back and forth with Big Show as Tag Team champs. Now with the Tag Titles out of the way, Miz can focus on the US title, and perhaps bigger and better things. Dude got the mic skills now!...and he seems to STILL be learning as far as wrestling is concerned...that's really good news.
..And as for R-Truth...With the positive momentum he's had since being drafted to RAW, Truth has made himself a contender. Now with more exposure, it's time to get a new song....really. It's time dude! Without keepin' his gimmick fresh, his popularity WILL
die down reguardless of wrestling skill. If anything else, Truth could simply stop rappin' altogether and still get by on dancing down the isle. Just a thought.

On Smackdown...
Kane has lost it!! If he keeps this up, he
won't have to wait for Undertaker to come back
and take him out....Big Show will do it first!
Kane's interference has lead to Rey Mysterio
becoming NEW World Heavyweight Champion.
This win is HUGE for Rey. Now a 2 time champ,
he shows that he can dance with the "Big Boys".
And all thoughts of Rey being done as a top
contender have been greatly exaggerated. With a
feud still looming with CM Punk, and now perhaps
Jack Swagger, Smackdown should be very entertaining.
As for Swagger...What I didn't like about his
title run here is that he lost his Swagger from the moment he won the title. This was not the same
dude who was ECW Champion. Tryin' to be
serious didn't work for him. Cocky and confident is Swagger...C'mon Jack, get'cha swagger up!
Despite his best efforts, Drew McIntyre lost at
Fatal 4 Way to Koffi Kingston. If I were Teddy
Long though, I may wanna wipe that smirk off my
face by this Thursday. Between failing to make
a 3 count on a downed Kingston, AND THEN
allowing Matt Hardy to hit him with a Twist of
Fate, Teddy Long has much to answer for. Big
Picture,..Drew is still the "chosen one". I
won't be surprised if he gets a World Title shot
in a month or two. For now, both Kingston and
Teddy better watch out!
And about the IC champ...Kingston has had big
success since being drafted to Smackdown. In
general it looks like he got the IC title on lock.
Still, Drew McIntyre seems to have a key
for that lock. Kofi should take as many pictures
with his title while he can.
