Hardy's theme sounded like the Smashing Pumpkins to me.

- The reason the WM main event doesn't work for anyone? A lack of proactive booking. Planning ahead, or at least making it look like you've planned ahead.
Think back to Starrcade '97. The Hogan-Sting angle was played up for so much of 1997 without the two facing off one-on-one very often, if at all. Everyone knew, though, that a Hogan-Sting match was coming. It was just a matter of time. Meanwhile, WCW built it up so well that you flat-out couldn't wait to see it. Even though a Sting win was a foregone conclusion, there was still so much interest that WCW crowds would flat-out go ape shirt on Nitro when Sting descended from the ceiling.
If it's a foregone conclusion that Cena will win the strap back at WM, at least play it up right. Cena won the Rumble? Cena goes to 'Mania to face Orton. They don't face off at No Way Out. They don't sorta battle each other in tag matches with other main-eventers. You barely let 'em face off at all, except for the last two minutes of Raw or something like that. Have a lame-assed contract signing. Vignettes like crazy. That's two solid months of build-up to a one-on-one, no-gimmick match for the strap.
You don't determine a WrestleMania main event the night after the preceding PPV.
- Apparently, Vince wants to be the WWE chairman...and a Raw midcarder? Uh...OK. Why?
- Where did Big Show's excess weight go? Right to Super Crazy's gut.
- God damn it, I love Santino Marella. The mic skills, the perfect bad-guy theme that makes you just want to hate him from the first note...make the guy someone's manager or give him another run with the IC strap when Hardy finally gets his main-event shot.
- When was the last time we had a good old-fashioned swerve? Wouldn't you just LOVE to see Trip, Cena and Orton beat the heck out of each other in the main event...and watch Trip lay down for Orton or vice versa while Cena's out of commission outside the ring? There's a solid build-up to a SummerSlam main event. Cena, screwed over in two consecutive main-event matches, against either Trip or Orton (with the other at ringside) for the title at SS.
