WWE’s Thursday night offering went down a little something like this:

John Morrison, Matt Hardy & The Great Khali with Ranjin Singh vs. Drew McIntyre & The Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd & DH Smith with Natalya)
WINNER: Morrison, Hardy & Khali via pin after Khali hit the Punjabi Plunge on DH Smith

QUICK THOUGHTS:

The diva match wasn’t good.  There wasn’t really any botched moves, but it’s just a matter of believability with this core group of divas.  The best one by far of this group is Katie Lea with Alicia following closely behind.  For me it’s just a matter of timing.  They take too long with their spots and they think about things too much before they actually do them.  Kelly almost kicked Alicia in the face doing her gymnastic hand spring back elbow, and Katie Lea over sold a terrible Kelly punch to the back that “knocked” her out of the ring.

Bourne vs. Carlito was a good match.  It had some of the quick paced, lucha type spots in the early going when Bourne had the advantage, and then slowed down when Carlito took control.  The finish was crafty.  When I saw the two men set up on the top rope, I figured Bourne would knock Carlito off with a quick couple of punches, but nope, he went and pulled out a sunset flip power bomb!  Really enjoyed this match!

Wasn’t really enthralled with the main event.  The only real thing I have to say to anyone who reads this, if you think the Great Khali is entertaining or a good wrestler, go back and learn your history when it comes to big men.  Please Watch Andre The Giant, Bam Bam Bigalow, or Vader .  I’m not going to say Khali isn’t good for business because of the fact that he’s got the entire country of India watching WWE every week, but I just think he’s a waste of space on my wrestling programs.
