ARMAGEDDON, Year 1

This is a SmackDown/Superstars PPV.

Match 1. Razor Ramon vs. Wade Barrett   Intercontinental Championship
Heel vs. Heel. Barrett landed a back suplex. Razor came back with a snap slam. Barrett hit a huge pump handle slam. A little later, Barrett hit the Winds of Change, but Razor kicked out. Barrett connected with the Bull Hammer and won. Well, that title reign didn't last long for Razor.

Match 2. Cody Rhodes vs. Goldust   European Championship
Wow. I did not I would see this match this soon. Will Bray Wyatt or Mr. Perfect make an appearance? Goldust tossed Cody into the ropes, but Cody came back with a bulldog. Cody landed the Alabama Slam, but Goldust kicked out. Goldust caught Cody off the ropes and hit the bionic elbow and won. Big brother teaches little brother a lesson.

Match 3. New Age Outlaws vs. The Millionaires
Road Dogg hit JBL with a spike pile driver and then some Shake, Rattle & Roll. Dogg placed DiBiase on the top and then caught him with a power slam. Gunn took out JBL, allowing Dogg to hit the pump handle drop to win.

Match 4. Legion of Doom vs. Rated-RKO
Animal lifted Orton up for a suplex and Hawk jumped from the top and took Orton down. Edge and Orton came back with their own double suplex on Hawk. Hawk took Orton to school with a couple of snap arm drags. Orton caught Hawk with an RKO, but only got a two count. A little later, he hit a second RKO and won.

Match 5. Inter-brand - Triple H, John Cena and The Rock vs. Batista, Kurt Angle and CM Punk
Punk caught Triple H with an arm drag, but The Game came right back with a spine buster. Angle hit Cena with an Angle Slam, but Cena kicked out. Angle continued with a DDT on the apron. Rock connected with a Samoan drop and spine buster on Punk and got the win.

Match 6. TLC - Ryback vs. Diesel vs. Booker T   World Championship
This is an all-heel co-main event. Interesting. Two ladders made their way into the ring very quickly. Ryback and Booker hit Diesel with an atomic drop/jumping heel kick combo. Diesel and Booker went for a double suplex, but Ryback countered it int a double DDT. He then hit Booker with the meat hook clothesline and Shell Shock as Diesel pulled down the world title.

Main Event. TLC - Undertaker vs. Goldberg   AWA Championship
Goldberg clotheslined Taker and immediately brought in a ladder. Taker came back and hit Goldberg with the ladder. He then hit a chokeslam and went to retrieve the title. Goldberg went to pull him down, but Taker kicked him away and retained his title.

Recap: The two TLC matches were very short. I liked the 6-man tag match and the two mid-card title matches.
