Armageddon 2008

1. Vladimir Kozlov defeated Matt Hardy by pinfall

This was definitely not the match I would have picked to open the show. Why not have the Henry/Finlay brawl? Kozlov is not an entertaining worker and Matt Hardy gave it his all, but he couldn't make this interesting.

Rating: .75 (out of 5)

2. CM Punk defeated Rey Mysterio by pinfall

This was a real good match between two of the more consistent superstars. I would love to see these two have an extended feud.

Rating: 3.75

3. Finlay defeated Mark Henry by pinfall

This was a pretty decent garbage match that could have benefitted from being the opener. Not a bad effort.

Rating: 1.75

4. Batista defeated Randy Orton by pinfall

These two just do not have chemistry with one another. It probably doesn't help that neither of them are top notch workers.

Rating: 2

5. Michelle McCool, Mickie James, Maria, and Kelly Kelly defeated Victoria, Natalya, Jillian, and Maryse by pinfall

This was just a way to get the Divas to dress up in Christmas gear. Next.

Rating: .25

6. John Cena defeated Chris Jericho by submission

I would say this was a step up from their Survivor Series match, as the final few moments of this match were fast-paced and exciting. The crowd was digging it too.

Rating: 3.25

7. Jeff Hardy defeated Edge and Triple H to win the WWE Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This wasn't as quite as good as I remembered, but that could have been because it was overshadowed by an awesome moment. Even if you don't like Jeff Hardy, he has earned his main event spot. Good stuff.

Rating: 3.75

Well, there are two real good matches and another one that's very solid. However, the rest is pretty much a waste of time. Hardy's memorable title win and the Punk/Mysterio match bump it up to a recommended viewing.
