Ha, there's articles of dissatisfaction towards the very brief Rihanna concert at only 1 hour, and even the reporters of 8 days weren't pleased about it. Lucky I never went for it, but then again I'm not really a fan of Rihanna anyway. And this wasn't the only time it had happened... Maroon 5 concert which I went for earlier this year lasted for abt 70 minutes. But take for example Elton John's concert and A-Mei's concert earlier this year, lasting for over 2 hours. Based on recent surveys, the fault does not lie in the concert organiser, but more on the artiste involved (sad but true). Hopefully, the Kylie-X concert tonight wll go for abt 2 hrs... and not end prematurely and leave a sour taste in the tongues of bigtime Kylie fans.
Survivor Series 2008 had came to pass, and indeed I expected it when the returning John Cena defeated Chris Jericho to win the World Heavyweight Title in his homestate of Massechusetts. Goes to show that 3 years after their last encounter, Y2J is still unable to defeat the Chaingang Soldier one-on-one. Welcome back, Cena!! And thanks for saving us from that despicable 'virus'. :-)
As expected, The Undertaker defeated Big Show in a casket match. Shawn Michaels, Great Khali and Rey Mysterio were the sole survivors for the first of 3 Traditional Survivor Series matches. Randy Orton presumably made use of Cody Rhodes to secure a win against Batista in the 2nd Survivor Series match. And for the first ever Divas Survivor Series match, it was Beth Phoenix who helped Team Raw secure a victory against their Smackdown counterparts.
The match that is the most controversial and shocking has got to be the outcome of the WWE Championship match... hours before the Triple Threat match was to take place, Jeff Hardy was found battered and bruised in his hotel room, and so Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov had to go one-on-one instead. And halfway through the match, that cunning GM Vickie Guerrero intervened and announced that there will be a replacement for Jeff Hardy... EDGE??? WTF, who would have expected a repeat of last year...!! I thought Undertaker had 'sent him to hell' months ago???
Indeed I was right that Triple H would lose the title at this event, but I honestly never expected the new champion to be someone who had returned from months of injury and SHOULD NOT even be in the match in first place. I suspect that Vickie purposely arranged for Jeff Hardy to be taken out and replaced by the Ultimate Opportunist. Looks like Eric Bischoff was right all along... Controversy does indeed create Cash.
Screw Edge, screw Vickie, screw the scriptwriters, and last but not least, SCREW MR MCMAHON for this travesty. Eddie would so not be pleased if he were to see this from above. But come to think of it, it would have been worse if Vladimir Kozlov were to win the title instead.
One thing is for certain... this week's episodes of Raw and Smackdown are sure gonna be very interesting! And yes, I am still gonna buy the Survivor Series 2008 VCD when it comes out in a few days time ;-)
