1. Shawn Michaels, Cryme Tyme, Great Khali, and Rey Mysterio defeated MVP , Kane, Miz, John Morrison, and JBL by pinfall
This was a fun opener, even if some of the pinfalls were too close together. Unfortunately, this was one of the few bright spots.
Rating: 2.75 (out of 5)
2. Michelle McCool, Maryse, Natalya, Victoria, and Maria defeated Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Jillian, Candice Michelle, and Kelly Kelly by pinfall
This was your typical divas match. In retrospect, having Maryse win the match turned out to be a good idea, as she is turning into the top heel diva.
Rating: .5
3. Undertaker defeated The Big Show in a Casket Match
Their last two matches completely exceeded everyone's expectations and then it was back to reality. Horrible match.
Rating: .75
4. Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Shelton Benjamin, Mark Henry, and William Regal defeated Batista, R-Truth, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, and Matt Hardy by pinfall
This was another solid elimination match, however I didn't like the booking in this one as much. They made Batista look like the only guy on the face team who could do anything and considering they had some of their best young talent on his team, I am not a fan of that.
Rating: 2.5
5. Edge defeated Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov by pinfall to win the WWE Championship
I can almost say that Great Khali deserved to be in a main event match more than Kozlov. He showed just how green he is and Triple H seemed content to bore the hot crowd. Edge's surprise entrance saved this from being awful, but it's not enough to call this anything but bad.
Rating: .5
6. John Cena defeated Chris Jericho to win the World Heavyweight Championship
***Match Of The Night***
I enjoyed this match much more on the second viewing. Although it was far from a classic, it still was better than anything else on this card. I still don't agree with the way they booked Jericho at the end of '08, but you can't blame them for having Cena win this one.
Rating: 3
Well, this was a real stinker. 2008 actually had quite a few real good shows, but this was probably the worst of the bunch. The two title changes make this have some historical significance, but other than that, it's a nothing show.
