Title This: WWE Vengeance Reaction

October 24, 2011

Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes:

What I Liked:

The pairing between two guys who are on different paths. Orton is the untouchable on Smackdown, while Rhodes is a guy who is building himself up to become another big time heel in the company for the foreseeable future. I enjoyed the mentality in the ring, as it was not just Orton who got the offensive advantage. It was about 50/50 throughout, and showcased the talents of both men. They are great athletes, but it seems to be more with character development for Rhodes. He can continue to become a presence if he continues to garner the attention of the crowd, like he did at Vengeance.

What I Disliked:

The finish was not bad, but Orton winning does NOTHING for him. Why not give Rhodes a cheap win to further boost his resume? He needed a really signature win, and any win against Orton is signature these days. Also, the match should have been moved back a slot or up a slot, and given twenty minutes. This feud has essence, history, and hatred to it, and could be a feud for a while if they wanted it to be.
