Kevin Bolger of East Northport, N.Y. (5.0): Best Match: Taker-Batista Worst Match: Kane-MVP Well, once again Vince's minions have decided to kiss their collective sisters, and give us the privelige of another BS finish to a title match on a pay per view. Its bad enough we had to pay $40 to see Hardy-Kennedy, which while it was an entertaining if not enjoyable match, was on TV less than a month ago and it cost nothing. (And it was a better match) Why do we have to have DQ finishes to title matches? What is the logic? We understand Randy Orton is a cowardly heel. Hell, a blind guy in jersey could see that. WWE thinks the only way they can get that idea across is to have him DQ himself on purpose to save his title. Whatever happened to honest to goodness cheating leading to a pinfall victory? (See Stone Cold's entire Invasion era title run) Personally I find that much more satisfying, than a good athletic matching ending with a bad forearm to the balls.

Peter Young of Sydney, Australia (7.0): Best match: Batista vs. Undertaker. Worst match: Kane vs. MVP. A solid PPV of mostly rematches. A surprising win in the vote for The Miz but all of the other poll results were easily predictable. JBL appears to be becoming more active in the ring again. Methinks a return from retirement is on the cards... The Triple H vs. Umaga match was another worthy addition to their history. The three table running splash was very very cool. The divas seemed even more wooden with their little backstage segments. Victoria's costume was pretty funny though. No Hornswoggle or Mr McMahon today... my psychic vote for them to stay off my screen must have worked. The Undertaker vs. Batista match proves again that the latter can produce a great match with the right opponent (i.e. not Mark Henry or Khali) and sets them up for a nice little decider in the future.

Adam Riemer of Brooklyn, N.Y. (1.0): Best Match; what I got through of the Triple H vs. Umaga match, Worst Match; My hard earned money vs. the WWE's crap...and HBK vs. Orton. Jim Ross said this was the "worst Halloween costume contests" ever. He should have said it worst PPV ever. A count out to a terrible match between Kane and MVP and a DQ finish to a match that everyone knew who would win it. Seriously this is terrible, Mysterio does not belong in matches with bigger guys..he belongs in the X division, Vicki Guerrero has mic skills that make Teddy Long's look like the Rock's and Hardy vs Kennedy should have been for the title. I don't care if Jericho comes back tomorrow and brings with him the 1999 version of the WWE, I will make sure I contribute to their terrible ratings and hopefully TNA will get good and then make the WWE actually try.

PWTORCH FORMAT CONVENTIONS

For the sake of clarity to our readers (and to save us time editing these same things over and over), please follow these simple conventions when writing Torch Reax:

-Wrestlers teaming together should be connected with "&" symbol (e.g. Hunter & Michaels, Devon & Ray) or with a "/" (e.g. Animal/Hawk, Harris/Storm), but not dashes and not the word "and."

-To designate wrestlers who are fighting, feuding, or wrestling each other, put a dash (-) between them (e.g. Michaels-McMahon, Jarrett-Sting, Hogan-Andre) or use "vs."

-The word versus should always be abbreviated this way: "vs." with a period afterward (not "v." or "v/s" or "VS" or "VS." or any other way).

-Plus, it's just our policy, but we don't indulge wrestling promotions' strange spelling fetishes where they spell Raw, Smackdown, Heat, Impact, etc. with the haphazard capitalization of various leTTeRz. It seems very "junior high," so no Raw (it's Raw), no iMPACT (it's Impact), etc.

-Please try to avoid overuse of dot-dot-dots. If you have a thought that's "trailing off," you can use for effect, but otherwise, just use periods, commas, and our personal favorite, semicolons if you dare. We have always had a policy of only one exclamation point and no ALL CAPS. Let your words convey the meaning of your point. There's many to choose from out there.
