1. Kane defeated MVP in an Inferno Match
This match seems like it would be cool in theory, but it is probably the most restricting stipulation match that I can think of. And since they aren't doing garbage wrestling, this is almost guaranteed to be dull and it was.
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
2. Paul London + Brian Kendrick defeated MNM, the Hardyz, and Dave Taylor + William Regal in a Ladder Match
***Match Of The Night***
This was an impromptu match that saved the show. This was absolutely awesome stuff as you would expect. Regal and Taylor added a unique aspect to the match and Joey Mercury's nose busting was absolutely disgusting. This is definitely must-see TV.
Rating: 4
3. The Boogeyman defeated The Miz by pinfall
From absolute awesome to horrible trash. The Miz was awful at this point and I don't think there was a worse actual wrestler under contract at this time than The Boogeyman.
Rating: 0
4. Chris Benoit defeated Chavo Guerrero by submission
For some reason Chavo really started declining in ability around this time and it showed here. This should have been great, but instead it was just good.
Rating: 2.75
5. Gregory Helms defeated Jimmy Wang Yang by pinfall
The crowd could have cared less about this match, but it was a solid bout. Helms is solid and Yang is very underrated. It's too bad Yang was saddled with a horrible gimmick.
Rating: 2.5
6. Undertaker defeated Mr. Kennedy in a Last Ride Match
I really wanted to love this match, but it just didn't get over the hump. Both guys gave a good effort, but it seemed to be lacking something. Kennedy's character was starting to get him over though.
Rating: 2.75
7. John Cena + Batista defeated King Booker + Finlay by pinfall
I have no problem with matches like this on pay-per-view, but this one was just too obvious who was going to come out on top. This was a typical TV main event, with some good action and a few sloppy spots. This was not really worthy of being the main event.
Rating: 2.75
Well, this show was most definitely saved by the ladder match. Those eight men gave a great effort and unfortunately it did nothing for the careers of London and Kendrick. There was a lot of solid stuff on the show, so it's definitely not a recommendation to avoid, but just don't go out of your way, especially if you've seen the ladder match.
