The End…..Is Only The Begnning. I think it’s refering to the end of the year being the beginning of the road to Wrestlemania? But maybe I’m looking too much into it. Batista is on the poster for this event but sadly for the second year in a row (with him as champion at this PPV) the World Heavyweight Championship won’t be defended because Batista is in a tag team match. King Booker and Finlay will be on the other side of the ring and Teddy Long gave Batista the opportunity to pick his own partner. Batista pikced the WWE Champion from Raw, John Cena. Last month at Cyber Sunday King Booker defeated John Cena and The Big Show in a triple threat match. Batista continues to have problems with Booker and Finlay but more interestingly Booker and Finlay have had their own issues and might not be able to trust each other. Batista and John Cena have both beaten Finlay in singles matches on Smackdown over the past couple of weeks.

The World Heavyweight Championship might not be defended tonight but there are three title matches. Jimmy Wang Yang defeated Jamie Noble to become number one contender to the Cruiserweight Championship so he’ll get his shot against the longest reinging champion currently in the WWE, Gregory Helms. Chavo Guerrero gets another shot at Chris Benoit’s United States Championship as Chavo’s business manager Vickie Guerrero sells a neck injury “caused” by Chris Benoit. And the WWE Tag Team Championships will be defended as Paul London and Brian Kendrick defend against the dastardly duo of William Regal and his buddy that has recently shown up on Smackdown, grizzled veteran Dave Taylor.

Two major rivalries on Smackdown that has been coninuing over the past couple of months are the rivalries between The Undertaker and Mr Kennedy and Kane’s feud with MVP. Mr Kennedy has actually defeated The Undertaker through controversial circumstances twice on pay per view but Teddy Long has now made a third match between the two but this time it will be a Last Ride match. There has only been one of these matches before, previously between The Undertaker and John “Bradshaw” Layfield where to win the match you have to stuff your opponent into a hearse and drive them out of the arena. Kane and MVP will also be wrestling in a big gimmick match where they meet in an inferno match. The idea there that you have to set your opponent on fire to win the match, wrestling in a ring surrounded by fire.

With only 6 matches announced for this pay per view, I would expect one or two matches to be added tonight.

In a dark match prior to the event Vladimir Kozlov defeated Scotty Too Hotty.

A video package kicks off the show hyping up the MVP vs. Kane Inferno match, Undertaker vs. Mr Kennedy Last Ride match and tag team main event.

Michael Cole welcomes us to Armageddon 2006, he’s joined by John “Bradshaw” Layfield on commentary.

Kane vs. M.V.P. – Inferno Match

We’re kicking off with one of tonight’s main events, the inferno match. It’s a first singles match on PPV between these two men, an Armageddon debut for MVP whereas Kane goes into this years event with a 2-3 record. After MVP’s entrance there is a video package showing what led to this match. I don’t like it when they do a video package after the entrance. As the bell rings MVP gets down on his knees but Kane kicks him in the face. MVP manages to hit a boot of his own and then thinks about climbing out of the ring but decides against it. Kane knocks him down and then hits a back body drop as the flames fly up in the air. There’s a red hue to the ring which makes it look even more menacing. Kane pops MVP onto the top rope and looks to hit a superplex but MVP knocks him off and then flies down on the big red machine with a high cross body. MVP hits a running big boot to Kane and then a clothesline but Kane sits right back up. The two men slug it out until Kane knocks MVP down with a big boot.

Kane motions for a chokeslam and he hits it in the middle of the ring. Kane has lost more PPV matches than anyone else in history to this point. Kane takes off one of the turnbuckle pads and then sets it alight! MVP hits Kane with a low blow and then takes him down with a neckbreaker. MVP hits a couple of low dropkicks, attempting to kick Kane into the fire but Kane rolls out of the way and takes MVP down with a clothesline. Kane hits lefts and rights and a clothesline in the corner. He hits a second and then a sidewalk slam. MVP has a 50/50 PPV record going into this one but he has only had 2 PPV matches before this. MVP goes up to the top rope and Kane then pushes him out of the ring! Kane then heads to the top and dives down with a huge forearm. Kane tries to force MVP into the fames but MVP counters it and tries to force Kane. Kane big boots MVP as the two battle on the outside of the ring. MVP tries to escape under the ring but Kane pulls him back out. Kane grabs MVP by the throat and forces MVP into the flames! The match is over, Kane wins! MVP’s back and arse was on fire there, it looked pretty painful! It’s a win for Kane though tonight! A hard match to pull off.

Kennedy manages to stay away from The Undertaker in the early going but Undertaker eventually catches him, hits him with a right hand and then knocks Mr Kennedy out of the ring. Undertaker smashes Kennedy into the ring steps and then into the announce table. Nobody is as decorated on pay per view as The Undertaker.

Booker T and Finlay are backstage and Finlay tells Booker he won’t be double-crossing him tonight. Booker says he won’t double-cross Finlay tonight. Sharmell then arrives and tells them to stay on the same page. Interestingly Booker isn’t talking like King Booker anymore. Finlay holds up his shillalah and says he has the lick of the Irish and the little fella and all Booker has is Sharmell.

Santa Claus is out next handing out presents. Santa gets on the mic and wishes everybody Merry Christmas. He then ring announces the lingerie contest.

Jillian Hall vs. Ashley vs. Layla vs. Kristal – Lingerie Contest

I don’t think this is a match, just a contest voted by the fans. Kristal is up first and looks great in white. Layla is in black. Jillian is in a red Christmassy outfit and Ashley is in plaid. Santa decrees that everybody wins. He then reveals himself to be Big Dick Johnson.

There’s a video package up next for the tag team main event.

Batista & John Cena vs. King Booker & Finlay

It’s a first tag team match between these two teams. I actually hate the fact that for the second year running a tag team match has main evented this pay per view. Why not have a world title match? As Armageddon records go Booker is 2-2, Batista is also 2-2 and John Cena is 1-0. Finlay makes his Armageddon debut tonight. This is a big spot for Finlay who isn’t a recognised main evented like the other three. John Cena and King Booker start the match and Cena hits an arm drag into the arm bar. Booker hits a knee and some forearms. Cena fires back with some right hands and another arm drag. Cena tags in Batista and Booker tags in Finlay.

Batista manages to hit Booker with a spinebuster and then a Batista bomb! That’s enough for the three! Batista and john Cena win the match! Average.

Rating: 5.25/10

So that was Armageddon 2006. It felt like a pretty good show for the most part. 6 of the 8 matches were above average and there was only one proper stinker. The show started well. Inferno matches are always mesmerising and this one was no different. The danger is always there but the matches can be more limited as a result. Kane won which was probably the right result, Kane is the fire man and it won’t hurt MVP to lose this match. I’m not sure whether this leaves either man but it’s safe to say this feud is over. MVP is a good candidate for a US title feud whereas Kane can slot in anywhere really. Maybe a feud with Mr Kennedy next?

The ladder match was insane. It was a nice surprise to upgrade the match to a fatal four way ladder match and it turned out to be a gem. All four teams bought something different to the table but the match might just be remembered for Joey Mercury’s face exploding. That spot was not nice at all and Mercury had to leave the match straight away. Nitro is a real star in the making though and this was a good win for London and Kendrick. I’m assuming the Hardy Boyz and MNM will go their separate ways now. Great match. The Boogeyman and Miz was pretty terrible. Two green superstars with entertaining enough gimmick but not so good in the ring. Boogeyman won, remains undefeated. Not a good match. Chris Benoit beat Chavo Guerrero with a sharpshooter. I reckon this could be the last match between these two men in this feud. Benoit could go on to feud with someone like MVP, Chavo could feud with one of the midcard faces, I’m not sure who, nobody spring to mind that could elevate him. Kane? Benoit keeps his title in a good match.

Gregory Helms retained his Cruiserweight title against Jimmy Wang Yang. This match was ok, there wasn’t a lot of chemistry really and the live audience found it boring. The cruiserweight division is struggling a little at the moment and could do with some new blood. The likes of Jamie Noble, Funaki and Scotty Too Hotty don’t provide much competition to Helms so maybe the feud with Wang Yang will continue. The Undertaker beat Mr Kennedy in a match that I think will end this rivalry. Kennedy is another man that could get involved in the United States division. There aren’t a lot of top faces on the brand at the moment which is backed up by Batista having to team up with a Raw guy. This match was good though and I liked the bump off the top of the set even though you could clearly see the crash mat. A good win for Undertaker who I’m sure will be mixing it up with Batista before long.

The women’s stuff was crap. Used only to promote Ashley’s upcoming playboy shoot. Jillian can actually wrestle but the other three are just eye candy. Batista and John Cena then beat King Booker and Finlay. I hate to say this but I couldn’t care less about this match. Why couldn’t this have been a triple threat match for Batista’s title? Why not elevate somebody on Smackdown instead of using John Cena? It was a pretty bad match and seemed short too. The ladder match stole the show.
