HBK/Mysterio on this weeks SD, I would rate about *** 1/2, would maybe have gone to four without the screwy finish. I would love this match on PPV at some point. Triple H/Punk was quality, as was Morrison/Drew.
^^Also liked the tag match last week on SD.

To be honest, WWE television tag matches have been surprisingly enjoyable for me this year. That ECW tag was easily ***, and the 6-man later was a fun **1/2-ish, and I thought Legacy vs. Cena and Kofi was around ***, too (they did a great job of getting the crowd into the hot tags, and I thought the finish intelligently built more tension within Legacy). I also dug the Jericho and McIntyre vs. Truth and Morrison match on Smackdown a week ago.
DX/JeriShow on the first Raw of the year was good too.
Christian vs. Ezekiel Jackson - ***1/2+ (WWE MOTY thus far)
Rey Mysterio vs. Undertaker - ***
Royal Rumble match-- no rating, but definitely worth watching. More complete thoughts over in the Match/Show/DVD Discussion thread.

Vance Archer vs Shelton Benjamin - WWE 1/21/10
These guys click well together, best Archer match so far.
Chris Jericho/Drew McIntyre vs R-Truth/John Morrison - WWE 1/22/10
Good tag match with pretty good cut offs by the heels
Ezekiel Jackson vs Christian - WWE 1/31/10
Not the greatest match, but it deserves a spot for Zeke being pretty good for a big man.
Rey Mysterio vs Undertaker - WWE 1/31/10
Best match at the rumble, Taker really looked good. Mysterio bumped like a champ for Taker.
Royal Rumble Match - WWE 1/31/10
Worth watching simply because it is the Rumble, but it seemed kind of rushed. I actually did like all the finishers though, it made it make sense for guys just laying around. Punk made the early part of the match.
