WWE Vengeance Results

World Heavyweight Championship: Edge (c) vs. Batista
A fairly good match. Batista went for the Batista Bomb, but Edge dropped down and gave Batista a nutshot to get DQ'd. As Edge celebrated retaining his title Teddy Long came out and ordered that the match restart and Edge would lose the title if he got Dq'd again. After the match restarted Batista and Edge were fighting outside of the ring and Batista tried preventing Edge from getting counted out and threw him back in the ring, but he (Batista) didn't make it back in on time. He lost the match along with any future title shots against Edge.
Dave: 1/1
Me: 0/1

John Cena (c) vs. Mick Foley vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Randy Orton vs. King Booker (w/Queen Sharmell)
I still don't understand why Foley was even in the match. I'll go right to the end - Typical ending where each guy is taken out leaving 2 men standing. It was Cena and Foley. Cena FU'd and pinned Foley to keep the title.
Dave: 1/2
Me: 1/2

Montel Vontavious Porter (c) vs. Ric Flair
An okay match at best. MVP retains after the Playmaker. Is there heat between Flair and Magnum TA from their NWA days? He barely acknowledged TA at ringside before the match.
Dave: 1/3
Me: 2/3

Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. Jimmy Wang Yang
I still don't care. Prior to the match a video aired honoring a former Cruiserweight Champion. In this case, Eddie Guererro (during his WCW days?). When they aired the video I knew that Chavo was not going to lose the match. Yang lost.
Dave: 1/4
Me: 2/4

Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch (c) vs. The Hardys (Matt and Jeff)
I knew (as Dave probably did as well) that C&M had too much momentum to lose the belt and match. A good match. Hardys lose and fail to regain the belts.
Dave: 2/5
Me: 3/5

Melina (c) vs. Candice Michelle
I was right to go against the traditional wrestling logic. While Candice will never be on the level of Trish, Lita, or Mickie James as far a ability goes she has made a ton or progress in the past few months. She deserved to get the win and she did. After the match she seemed genuinely honored to be representing the women's division.
Dave: 2/6
Me: 4/6

Santino Marella (c) vs. Umaga
Who cares? Umaga got DQ'd after failing to follow the ref's instructions.
Dave: 2/7
Me: 4/7

Chris Benoit vs. CM Punk
I couldn't hear the sound all that well so I am not sure if there's an angle to explain it, but Benoit was not there and Johnny Nitro took his place. An above average match which Nitro won after a swinging neckbreaker. I'm not sure if Nitro is World Title material yet. I am hoping that there will be an angle where it turns out that Nitro caused Benoit to miss the match wich will lead to a Nitro/Benoit feud where Benoit can get the ECW Title. I'm throwing this match out.

Deuce & Domino's Open Challenge
Boring match. The challenge was accepted by Sgt. Slaughter and Jimmy Snuka (Deuce's Dad). Snuka needs to hang up his boots for good. D & D wins. We didn't do picks for this match.

Total:
Dave picked 2 of 7 matches correctly and I picked 4 of 7 correctly.
