Other than DX hawkng their wares and the botched Roddy Piper/Vince McMahon promo, there weren't a lot of skits. It was match after match - I prefer it that way.
The street fight between Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton is definetly a match of the year candidate. It's good to see younger stars like Kofi and Sheamus getting a push. Let's hope this is a turning point in WWE.
