Night of Champions 2008 Review

Can the WWE's hot streak of good PPV's continue?

The Miz and John Morrison defeated Finlay and Hornswoggle to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship (8:46)
Morrison pinned Hornswoggle after a throwing him off the top rope
**
This was better than I thought it was going to be. That shows just how awesome Miz and Morrison are.

Matt Hardy defeated Chavo Guerrero (w/Bam Neely) to retain the WWE United States Championship (9:21)
Hardy pinned Guerrero after the Twist of Fate.
**1/4
Generic Smackdown math.

Mark Henry defeated Kane and The Big Show to win the ECW Championship (8:17)
Henry pinned Kane after the Splash.
*
So awful when Mark Henry was in control. Once it became Kane vs. Show it got better but that's not saying much. I was shocked to see Henry win a "world" title.

Ted Dibiase Jr. and Cody Rhodes defeated Hardcore Holly to win the World Tag Team Championship (1:30)
Dibiase pinned Holly after the Million Dollar Dream Leg Sweep.
Rhodes turned on Holly to align himself with Dibiase.
DUD
Almost how I predicted but no Harry Smith. This was more of an angle advancer than an actual match.

Kofi Kingston defeated Chris Jericho (w/Lance Cade) to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship (10:59)
Kingston pinned Jericho after the the Trouble in Paradise
Shawn Michaels interfered on behalf on Kingston.
***
I was kind od suprised that they gave Kofi gold already.

Mickie James defeated Katie Lea (w/Paul Burchill) to retain the WWE Women’s Championship (7:16)
Mickie pinned Lea after the Mickie-T
*1/4
Katie Lea does not impress me so far. They were so awkward together.

Edge defeated Batista to retain the World Heavyweight Championship (16:49)
Edge pinned Batista after hitting him with the belt.
During the match, Vickie Guerrero appointed Chavo Guerrero the Referee.
***3/4
Their best match no doubt. They had me believing that Batista had a shot.

Triple H defeated John Cena to retain the WWE Championship (19:37)
Triple H pinned Cena after the Pedigree.
****
This was suprisingly awesome. I'd go as far as to say that this was better than their Wrestlemania match together.

~So now Smackdown has both World titles? I don't see that lasting. This PPV was salvaged by the last 2 matches. I'd say the streak is barely alive by the skin f their teeth. Hopefully they put together a better card for Great American Bash.
