Judgement Day Review - Match #5: Randy Orton vs Batista for the WWE Title
John: A terrible way to end this match. I though it was a great time for Orton and Batista to step out of Triple H's shadow and show they are the future of the WWE. And up until the end this is what was taking place. Then they have to use a DQ to end it and a cheap Rick Flair appearance. Did we really need Fl...

WrestleMania 25 in Review - Match #8 - WWE Title: Triple H vs Randy Orton
That came out again here, and that's a shame. The company insists on throwing us HHH, who at the end of the day is a better heel, and now he's in a program with a heel that no matter what he does - no one cares about. It's a shame. They just ruined a main event of a card that clearly should have ended with...
