Mistakes weren't learned from as Triple H and Randy Orton struggled yet again to get anybody to give the smallest of sh*ts about their rivalry.

It wasn't all down to their anti-chemistry this time, but the layout of the match didn't really help. 'The Game' went into the show as defending WWE Champion looking for revenge after 'The Viper' terrorised The McMahon Family in the build-up. He was, however, hamstrung by rules that prohibited him going beyond ordinary levels of violence. Or, he wasn't, because he still won.

The contest didn't need the handcuffing stipulation. It didn't need nearly 25 minutes. It really didn't need Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker assembling one of the greatest matches in company history approximately half an hour earlier. Hunter has his moments at 'Manias, but - very much in keeping with his deepest insecurity - they're never any good in main events.
