COMMENTS: So the 16-Man tournament turned into a 13-Man tournament with Undertaker, Kane and Hunter Hearst Helmsley getting buys. And if their isn't gonna be any Double DQ's, No Contests, or Double Countouts then their will be 12 matches in the tournament, plus the Womens World Title Match, and I don't know about the tag title match since their was a no contest. I hope their will be at least one traditonal 4 on 4 elimination match. So if Owen Hart isn't the Blue Blazer, who is? Well, I heard that Phil Lafon has been wrestling as him down in Mexico so it might be him.The whole ending with the cage and all was really cool. How come it seeems about once a month that the Undertaker or Kane is pissed and they intrrupt about 3 or 4 matches? Because of that the show gets a B. See ya next week.
