12/19/08 Smackdown:
Hurricane Helms & R-Truth vs. Shelton Benjamin & MVP: **1/4 (Good job to continue MVP's frustrations. The new year will bring hope for MVP...it's inevitable.)

John Morrison vs. Festus: *1/2 (Decent, but the bell has really just been used way too much over the last couple weeks. It was funny at first, but now it's just hindering the capabilities of a good match.)

Edge vs. Matt Hardy: *** (Very well done. Easily the match of the night.)

Ezekiel Jackson vs. Carlito: 3/4* (Probably just a real glorified squash, but Carlito did get in some decent offense.)

Maryse vs. Maria: 1/2* (Couple of bright spots, but nothing to really write home about.)

Jeff Hardy vs. Vladimir Kozlov: *1/4 (Kozlov's offense is slow. I couldn't get real into the match. Plus, the DQ finish kills any momentum this match could have had at the end.)
