Reactions to No Mercy
An interesting PPV event last night as the WWE once again was forced to scramble due to injury and needing a new WWE champion. Lacking star power for the matches, Triple H became involved in not 2 but 3 title matches during the event. Some fans feel this was a bit too much of The Game for their liking. Due to the 3 matches, Randy Orton was able to finally take back the title at the end of the night, and is now the new WWE champion.
It's been a year since the title changed over, and it's been with a face, John Cena for that time. Now it will be held by the classic heel, Orton, who can cheaply call himself a 2 time champion. This does seem to taint the title and his reign just a bit, as title acquisition #1 was handed to him and not earned. Not to criticize Orton's win over Triple H in the Last Man Standing match either, but you've got to admit the Game was already battered and bruised from 2 other matches, making Orton's win look less convincing. This probably will spawn a HHH vs Orton feud for a good while now.
The rest of the event went pretty much as one could expect, with Beth Phoenix finally taking the Women's title. A 6 man tag match was thrown into the lineup which featured Mr Kennedy on one side and Jeff Hardy on the other. It might be speculated that Kennedy will start challenging for the IC title and eventually win it, as many WWE Champions have started out doing (Shawn Michaels, The Rock, Stone Cold, etc.).
Finlay and Mysterio had a no contest match meaning this feud will likely carry on for some bit of time. Same could be said for the CM Punk and Big Daddy V fights. Most likely Punk will become victorious during their next contest. What's especially interesting is Johnny Nitro aka John Morrison's continued absence from ECW. I haven't researched it much but possibly he was the 60 day suspension given out a month ago.
On another note concerning suspensions, Orton may or may not have been among those who were suspended,. His name was linked to the Signature drug/med company as a client in a Sports Illustrated report. You'd have to wonder if WWE really should have the title on him, especially with the Congressional hearings coming up. Not to accuse Orton, but WWE would want their "clean" stars

I'm finally irritated with this whole thing. I have to admit that I'm a Cena fan, and week after week they'd have Orton jumping this guy after a match, without any repercussions, and it finally got them in trouble last week when it resulted in his being legitimately injured. This kind of thing has been happening more and more lately, and I'm surprised more of these wrestlers aren't being hurt by stunts like this. But the way Vince had to go so far out of his way to make Orton champ is so disgusting that I'm boycotting tonight's show totally, and I might not watch Friday night either, though we'll see about that. I just can't believe that, even though we all know it's entertainment, they think the rest of us are morons of this kind that we'll buy just anything.
For all those Cena haters, you have to admit being impressed that he has been able to lift Big Show, Umaga, and Khaki over his head. I mean, this kid is a freak, and he's got charisma, and there's absolutely no way Orton can replace him as the new face of the WWE. I'm beyond dismayed.
