Matt Hardy & The Great Khali defeated The Hart Dynasty
Cryme Tyme vs Mike Knox & Charlie Haas no contest
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 1/22/10 Review
Batista came out, and he is looking jacked. I don’t think he’s been this jacked in a long time. He’s obviously on the juice, there’s just no way he can’t be. I could be wrong, but he’s completely jacked, and looking huge.
Finlay defeated Batista by dq
Finlay loos like a grown up “Bobby Hill” from King of the Hill, at least on my tv. I have no high-def, in case you were wondering. My tv is so old, it’s got a wooden frame around it. Yeah, I’m broke and poor…sorry.
Finlay started this match fast, he was taking it to Batista, and Batista was definitely off his game early in the match, which was odd for me. This match was very short lived because once Finlay and Batista got outside it was thrown out by the referee. Finlay was dismantled on the outside with Batista throwing Finlay into the steps, the pole, and the announce table. He was just in street fight mode, which was hilarious to me. A wasted match, if you ask me.
Batista continued to beat up Finlay, and got on the mic and said he was going to win the Rumble. I highly doubt it, Batista winning? Na.
Punk and Luke came out to do another promo and it was great. He just keeps getting better on the mic, despite the similar promo’s he’s cutting on a daily basis. Cm Punk was interrupted by a woman fan, which was interesting to say the least. It might have been a plant, I don’t know. Either way, Punk once again saves another fan? They should use these segments to build Punk’s stable. Just like WCW did in the late 90’s with RAVEN! Raven started gaining a flock by beating his opponents and then recruiting them into the flock, or have we already forgotten?
These segments take a lot longer than I thought, and it’s just overkill, if you think about it. Punk shaves this girl’s head, and it’s weird. Punk is getting very creepy and that’s good, but these segments are taking a lot of valuable wrestling time, if you ask me.
John Morrison & R Truth defeated Drew McIntyre & Chris Jericho
This was originally a handicap match set to punish Morrison, but Teddy Long turned it into a tag match. I would’ve preferred the handicap match, that would’ve been interesting, but hey, Truth isn’t half bad sometimes, so I guess we’ll get a tag team match up afterall.
This match wasn’t half bad, it had some good overall action. Morrison was isolated for a good part of the match, and there were some good moments with him coming back with some quick tags by Jericho and McIntyre. R Truth got the hot tag and cleaned house, but Morrison came in and helped out, winning the match overall. This match wasn’t half bad, and I liked it, for what it was.
Layla and McCool threw a piggy james arty of sorts. Maria came out to defend her, and then Mickie James came out to cut a promo as well. This whole thing is boring to me, I’m sorry it’s just stupid overall. I don’t really care about these divas, and their petty promo’s and discussions. These things bore me.
Cryme Tyme vs Mike Knox & Charlie Haas no contest
This match was thrown together late, I’m sure. It never really started as Kane came down and threw everyone over the top rope.
How is Charlie Haas still employed? This was dumb, I guess we’re not getting any wrestling tonight are we?
Matt Hardy & The Great Khali defeated The Hart Dynasty
This match wasn’t much to look at. The match was going fine, starting up nicely but quickly dissolved. Natalya distracted Khali on the outside, but that didn’t help, because Hardy got the win with a roll up. This was so fast, that it was like not having a match at all. The Hart Dynasty have yet to impress me, and that’s a sad notion considering their heritage in wrestling.
Mysterio called out Undertaker, and was attacked afterwords by Batista.
Final Thoughts
For a show that everyone says is better than Raw, this one sure was light on the wrestling and heavy on the talking. So much so that I could just see the Southpark parody about how these shows have little to no actual action. Sadly, this show bored me…except for a few key moments, but it just didn’t seem like the better show, that’s for sure.

ECW on ScyFy 12/29/09 Results and Review Another Homecoming
ECW on ScyFy 12/29/09 Results
Matt Hardy defeated Finlay
Evan Bourne defeated Mike Knox
Zack Ryder defeated Tommy Dreamer
ECW on ScyFy 12/29/09 Review
Matt Hardy defeated Finlay
In a back and forth match, Hardy’s left leg was isolated and he was having a hard time moving forward. However, Finlay made one small mistake and Matt Hardy made him pay. This wasn’t a terrible match, and Finlay was looking a lot more vicious than he previously has. He couldn’t put away Hardy though, and after a Twist of Fate (albeit botched) Hardy advances in the “tournament” of the homecoming guys.
Evan Bourne defeated Mike Knox
Not much to look at here. Evan Bourne does the impossible and buries Mike Knox. This match had a few spots, but it was so unbelievable that I didn’t care for it much.
Zack Ryder defeated Tommy Dreamer
This is the last Tommy Dreamer match. It is going to be the end of ECW, since he’s the last remnant of the original ECW. Good riddance….not for Dreamer, but the brand. It’s not anywhere near as good as the original. Dreamer had Ryder reeling for a few moments, and I really was believing that Dreamer was going to win this one, but I remembered that WWE never lets anyone look strong on their way out. This match, towards the end, was in slow motion as Dreamer was obviously winded. Ryder went to the top rope but was foiled by dreamer, and we got the tree of Woe one last time!
Dreamer got a three count, but Ryder's foot was outside of the ring so the ending didn't count. The match was restarted....much to the dismay of anyone watching. Dreamer went for a back suplex but it was reversed and Ryder won via pinfall.
Goodbye Tommy Dreamer, we'll see ya in TNA probably.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/25/09 Results and Review Christmas with WWE
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/25/09 Results
R Truth, Finlay, John Morrison, Matt Hardy defeated C.M Punk, Luke Gallows, Drew McIntyre, and Dolph Ziggler
Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated The Undertaker via disqualification
Cryme Tyme defeated jobbers
Mickie James & Maria defeated Layla & Beth Phoenix
Dx defeated The Hart Dynasty
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/25/09 Review
Alright, Christmas is over, although I’m still tired from my long day of partying. Well, mostly hanging out with family, and eating too much. However, I’m back in action with another review and results thing that I do on this blog that no one seems to read or help me keep going. I gotta admit, I was a little excited about this, but didn’t put my hopes up too high.
R Truth, Finlay, John Morrison, Matt Hardy defeated C.M Punk, Luke Gallows, Drew McIntyre, and Dolph Ziggler
It’s funny to me, that this match just seems repetitive. I know it’s an eight man tag, but we’ve already seen 6 of these guys wrestle each other in a tag match. They’ve added Ziggler and Finlay, but those guys just seem like an after thought. I guess we won’t be seeing Ziggler vs McIntyre anytime soon.
This match was fast paced, and filled with a lot of spots. It just kept pushing forward, with everyone getting their signature shots in right away. The match broke into chaos and every guy ran in and knocked someone out, until Morrison hit Starship Pain on Ziggler and this match was done. I feel like I’m getting hit with the same thing every week from the opening matches on Smackdown. Oh well, it was a fun match, nothing really crazy, but that’s alright.
Chris Jericho came out to cut a promo, and he was interrupted by The Hart Dynasty, and then Dx appeared on the screen and they interrupted the guys in ring. Nothing really happened here, besides more slapstick and nonsense. Chris Jericho was hit with their finisher, and I guess Dx should be scared right? This was boring.
I don’t mind the Piggie James thing, because it’s obvious that at one point she was gaining weight and it was all over the internet and podcasting world. So I don’t care. What does she care? She gets paid to be there, that’s all I’m saying. I wish I got paid to be made fun of on television. Instead, I’m broke, and have no job right now.
The first hour main event, was none other than the world title match.
Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated The Undertaker via disqualification
This match wasn’t half bad, and Mysterio actually had a few chances to make this thing work out. Undertaker definitely pushed his weight around on Rey, and Rey took somemajor punishment in and outside the ring. The Undertaker was ready to light up Rey, but Batista came in and blatantly interfered. The Ref called for the bell, and I can only assume that Rey wins via disqualification. Mysterio got the last laugh with 619’s on Undertaker and Batista. This match should’ve got a clean finish, but instead it just got the Dusty finish.
Cryme Tyme defeated jobbers
This was weird. Cryme Tyme was in the second hour and they just beat the crap out of two really random guys. I kid you not, these guys were nobodies.
Mickie James & Maria defeated Layla & Beth Phoenix
This match was ok at best. Layla spent a lot of time with rest holds, and Mickie James ended up winning for her team. Then she attacked Michelle McCool, who was at ringside. This match bored me.
Dx defeated The Hart Dynasty
The Hart team got some good offense in against Dx. They did not just get worked and then thrown out of the ring. They actually put on a good show. Natalya definitely helped her team get a bit more offense than they usually get. I admit, I was almost impressed with the timing from Dh Smith and Tyson Kidd, they seemed to be right in there with Dx, despite Dx being much slower than their past days as a team. There were a few near falls, but nothing that I really would consider “obvious” or even “realistic”. Dh Smith couldn’t put away HBK without a finisher, yet he was heavily frustrated at the two counts. Triple H got the hot tag, and was leveled by Kidd and Smith with the finisher from the Hart's but that wasn't enough. Kidd fell outside the ring, and HBK hit DH Smith with a superkick from outside the ring, and Triple H hit a huge pedigree, and this match was done. I knew the Hart's would not win...but I didn't think it would be with Dx kicking out of their finisher. So much for building up the tag division, huh?

Monday Night Raw 11/23/09 Results and Review 3 Hours and Jesse Ventura
Monday Night Raw 11/23/09 Results
Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler
Sheamus defeated Finlay
John Cena defeated CM Punk
R Truth, MVP, and Mark Henry defeated Chavo Guerrero, Jack Swagger, and Chris Masters
Randy Orton defeated Evan Bourne
Mickie James, Melina, and Kelly Kelly defeated Michelle McCool, Layla, and Jillian
Special guest time keeper: The Gobbly Gooker
Dx defeated The Hart Dynasty
Sheamus won a #1 Contender Battle Royal
Monday Night Raw 11/23/09 Review
The show was supposed to start with Jesse Ventura, but instead it was Randy Orton that we got. Randy Orton started whining about how he needs to get a title shot against John Cena. Again? I hope this never happens.
Jesse the Body Ventura finally made his way own to the ring, and started to call out Orton. Jesse Ventura said that a revolution will take place, and that the next wwe title contender will get a title shot, the only catch? They can only be someone that has never been a world championship!
There will be qualifying matches through the night, the winners will got to a battle royal, and the winner will get a title shot.
Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler and Kofi? I had some high hopes, all things considered. Ziggler started the aggressor, and Kofi had to battle back, but was up to the task. The match had some great spots, with dead on timing. Kofi hit his line up of moves, and Ziggler was step by step avoiding Kingston’s more prominent moves, until he made one quick mistake and Kingston finally made him pay.
Sheamus defeated Finlay
Now this is something, Finlay and Sheamus! Wow, this should be interesting. Finlay started this match by hitting Sheamus hard, as if he was going to win this one. But it was Sheamus that seemed to be in control and after hitting what looked like a Razor’s Edge, he pinned Finlay. Man, Finlay is on a major losing streak.
Post match, Sheamus beat up Finlay some more. Finlay needs back up, big time.
CM Punk gave a heel promo before his match, the usual.
John Cena defeated CM Punk
CM Punk and John Cena? Free? Man, WWE is giving the matches away tonight. It started with Punk in control and Cena powering through some of his moves. Punk fought Cena’s onslaught of power moves, and Cena reversed the initial GTS attempts. Eventually Punk was hit with the STF and it looked like Punk was going to tap, but managed to get out, and knock Cena hard with a huge boot to the head. Both men couldn’t one up each other enough for a win, and it was interesting to note that while I knew where this match was going, they didn’t make it a squash match. Cena took Punk to the top rope and hit a huge Attitude Adjustment, winning a hard fought match. Despite Punk’s loss, it was still a good match up.
R Truth, MVP, and Mark Henry defeated Chavo Guerrero, Jack Swagger, and Chris Masters
This was such a fast match, that I didn’t even have time to enjoy it. It was all the red team, and that’s about it. They won with ease.
Dx had a funny bit, and we find out that they are being sued by Hornswoggle.
Evan Bourne vs Primo (no contest)
Primo was supposed to be in this match, but he got beat up by Randy Orton on his way down to the ring.
I can’t believe that Primo is still employed.
Randy Orton defeated Evan Bourne
Randy Orton would be allowed to fight and see if he could get into the battle royal later on, but he would have to beat Evan Bourne. Man, if Orton wins, I’m going to be really upset folks…I can not ever get behind an Orton vs Cena match, ever again. Why does the WWE even employ Bourne? Bourne loses again, in not so dramatic fashion. Orton wins…I hate wwe right now.
Mickie James, Melina, and Kelly Kelly defeated Michelle McCool, Layla, and Jillian
Special guest time keeper: The Gobbly Gooker
This match sucked. Besides the outfits, there was nothing to see here. This match was so stupid…I hate the divas.
Inside the outfit, guess who? Maryse!
Dx defeated The Hart Dynasty
No surprise here. The match did seem to swing into the favor of The Hart Dynasty early on, but it was short lived. Micheals and Triple H couldn’t let anyone on the roster get glory tonight, since they did job for Cena at the ppv. So they win, in not so dramatic fashion.
Batista came out to ringside to cut a promo.
Kane came out and punked out Batista! That’s right, Kane Punked out Batista!
Legacy defeated Cryme Tyme
Wow, this was a lackluster match with little to no merit. I thought it was going to get good, but it turned out to be terrible.
Sheamus won a #1 Contender Battle Royal
Featuring commentary from Vince McMahon and Jesse The Body Ventura
The participants were all the winners from tonight.
This was a slow moving match up with not a whole lot of merit. The final three was interesting. Sheamus, Kofi, and Orton were the final three and Orton and Kofi were killing each other. Orton hit a nice neckbreaker on Sheamus, basically burying him and his "tough guy" persona.
Kofi threw out Randy Orton!
Sheamus threw out Kofi Kingston!
Yep...Sheamus is the #! contender to the WWE championship!
WTF! That's all I can say about this night in wrestling.
They had a contract signing between John Cena and Sheamus and Cena went through a table. The WWE Championship will get defended in a tables match!

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/21/09 Results and Review The Brothers of Destruction
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/21/09 Results
Batista defeated Matt Hardy
Drew McIntyre defeated Finlay
John Morrison defeated Dolph Ziggler best two out of three falls for the intercontinental championships
Mickie James defeated Layla
Rey Mysterio vs Tyson Kidd (dq? No contest? I don’t know…Batista interfered)
The Brothers of Destruction vs Chris Jericho & The Big Show
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/21/09 Review
The show immediately opened up with the reason why I still watch wwe…wrestling.
Batista defeated Matt Hardy
This was a cool match, at least in the on set. Matt Hardy didn’t just roll over and let Batista beat him up, he put in some offense, and was working on staying in there as long as possible. Even while Batista was setting up Hardy in rest holds, Hardy managed to get offense in. This was a good thing, making Batista work for his win, and not just squashing Hardy as a jobber. Hardy even countered the Batista Bomb! This match, although shorter than usual, managed to be quite impressive. Hardy countered the spear too! This was not a squash job, which made me cheer for once. Batista ended up winning the match, but Hardy was there step by step fighting back.
Drew McIntyre defeated Finlay
Finlay came out and brawled with Drew. However, in a stupid turn of events Drew hit Finlay with an eye gauge his ddt finisher and won with ease. What the heck? Finlay gets one eye rake and it’s over? The same Finlay that fought in a junkyard with the rest of the hardcore title guys in WCW? WWE took a misstep in this match. It was like a reverse squash…if that exists.
CM Punk cut the longest promo I’ve seen in a long time. He cut a straightedge promo with three major examples, visuals, trash cans, just boredom. Then R Truth came out to settle the mood, and finally change things up a little. In one of the best feud starters in a long time, R Truth knocked Punk nearly unconscious with a trash can full of cigarettes! Yep. That’s right, he beat the crap out of Punk then dumped a trashcan of cigarettes over him! There will be blood! Right?
John Morrison defeated Dolph Ziggler best two out of three falls for the intercontinental championship
This match started of fast, with good movement. Morrison even went for Starship Pain early, but was thwarted by Ziggler, who put a knee up. Morrison then quickly rolled up Ziggler for the first pinfall!
The second fall was a good overall match. Ziggler controlled most of this match up, and it looked like he could gain a foothold in this match. He was focusing on Morrison’s back and really putting a good amount of offense in. This was not a squash match by any stretch of the imagination. Ziggler got the pinfall, and it was 1 to 1.
The third fall was key, as it really showed that Ziggler is so close to getting a belt. However, Morrison just was one step ahead, and really is the future of the WWE if he continues to put on displays like he did in the third fall. Ziggler and Morrison put on a hefty match up and it showed. Morrison scored the third fall after hitting Starship Pain and man…he got an ovation.
Mickie James defeated Layla
Layla was fighting Mickie James, if you can call it fighting. Mickie James easily defated the Smackdown Diva, and it was not much of a challeng. I was a little bored. Mickie James needs more wrestling competition, simply put.
Post match, Mickie James got made fun of by Michelle McCool with a hilarious promo that was supposed to make fun of Mickie James, but instead just seemed so cheesy. I didn’t care for it, but it apparently made Mickie James cry. Whatever…she’s been getting fat lately.
Rey Mysterio vs Tyson Kidd (dq? No contest? I don’t know…Batista interfered)
Tyson Kidd looked like a man possessed out there. He was taking it to Rey in a way I haven’t seen Kidd wrestle. He was fighting fast, and had been one step ahead of Mysterio throughout the first part of this match. Kidd was definitely stepping up his game for this and was really showcasing that he’s quite good. Mysterio of course would make him pay for a subtle mistake, gaining an edge over Kidd with some high spots, including going to the top rope….but it was Batista that caused this match’s finale.
Batista interfered, pushed Kidd away and Mysterio pounced on Batista, humiliating him for the second straight week. It was fast, and it was rad. This was a good set up for their match, even if it did come at the price of Tyson Kidd’s stellar performance against Mysterio.
Kane & The Undertaker vs Chris Jericho & The Big Show (no contest?)
These guys make for quite the match up. The match started with Kane and Jericho getting into it, and it wasn’t half bad. Kane, for once, started looking like the Kane of old, methodical yet fast. Hitting Jericho with a slew of offense that we don’t get out of the Big Slow Machine anymore. The Undertaker got a tag and he too was working fast, and Jericho seemed outmatched by the big guys, until he tagged in The Big Show! The Brothers of Destruction were definitely in control of this match in the early goings, until the second commercial break.
Remember when The Brothers of Destruction took on DDP & Christian in a cage match? Remember DDP getting squashed for stalking “Sarah”? It was great, DDP never recovered from that angle….sad huh? Whatever…DDP vs Goldberg at Halloween Havoc 98 is all I need from DDP; that and when he wrestled Macho Man…twice.
Back to the match:
Undertaker went “old school” which is rad, because this time it wasn’t “vintage”. The big guys were in complete control of the tag champions. Jericho wasn’t getting much of a chance to shine, and Big Show was trying to get a few shots in, and while he was getting in there good, he wasn’t able to put away the big guys alone. Jericho eventually was able to get some offense on Kane, but only after Big Show softened him up a little. You might remember that Jericho fought Kane in a Last Man Standing match when Jericho was still Y2J, and Jericho fought him hard back then, and still managed to get some offense in now…several years later. However, Kane was able to turn things around with a counter to the Lionsault. Jericho eventually was in there with Undertaker and was in the midst of getting the Walls of Jericho on Taker, but Taker was putting on the hells gate choke, only to get leg dropped by The Big Show! This match was getting really interesting, and the action spilled out to the floor and this thing turned into a brawl…which reminds me, why was there no standing 10 count outside the ring? Oh well. The Brothers of Destruction isolated Chris Jericho in the ring, and this was the end of Jericho. Jericho was hit with a huge chokeslam from Kane, a big boot from Undertaker, only to get Big Show back in to equalize the situation.
However, Jericho hit the Codebreaker on Big Show then stole the world championship belt and ran off! Big Show and Undertaker were left in the ring, and the ref was confused, as was I.
The show was good, the main event was good too, although confusing. I’m not sure what he point is of having these no ending matches…I would appreciate someone winning or losing…geez.

Rey Mysterio vs Tyson Kidd (dq? No contest? I don’t know…Batista interfered)
The Brothers of Destruction vs Chris Jericho & The Big Show
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/21/09 Review
The show immediately opened up with the reason why I still watch wwe…wrestling.
Batista defeated Matt Hardy
This was a cool match, at least in the on set. Matt Hardy didn’t just roll over and let Batista beat him up, he put in some offense, and was working on staying in there as long as possible. Even while Batista was setting up Hardy in rest holds, Hardy managed to get offense in. This was a good thing, making Batista work for his win, and not just squashing Hardy as a jobber. Hardy even countered the Batista Bomb! This match, although shorter than usual, managed to be quite impressive. Hardy countered the spear too! This was not a squash job, which made me cheer for once. Batista ended up winning the match, but Hardy was there step by step fighting back.
Drew McIntyre defeated Finlay
Finlay came out and brawled with Drew. However, in a stupid turn of events Drew hit Finlay with an eye gauge his ddt finisher and won with ease. What the heck? Finlay gets one eye rake and it’s over? The same Finlay that fought in a junkyard with the rest of the hardcore title guys in WCW? WWE took a misstep in this match. It was like a reverse squash…if that exists.
CM Punk cut the longest promo I’ve seen in a long time. He cut a straightedge promo with three major examples, visuals, trash cans, just boredom. Then R Truth came out to settle the mood, and finally change things up a little. In one of the best feud starters in a long time, R Truth knocked Punk nearly unconscious with a trash can full of cigarettes! Yep. That’s right, he beat the crap out of Punk then dumped a trashcan of cigarettes over him! There will be blood! Right?
John Morrison defeated Dolph Ziggler best two out of three falls for the intercontinental championship
This match started of fast, with good movement. Morrison even went for Starship Pain early, but was thwarted by Ziggler, who put a knee up. Morrison then quickly rolled up Ziggler for the first pinfall!
The second fall was a good overall match. Ziggler controlled most of this match up, and it looked like he could gain a foothold in this match. He was focusing on Morrison’s back and really putting a good amount of offense in. This was not a squash match by any stretch of the imagination. Ziggler got the pinfall, and it was 1 to 1.
The third fall was key, as it really showed that Ziggler is so close to getting a belt. However, Morrison just was one step ahead, and really is the future of the WWE if he continues to put on displays like he did in the third fall. Ziggler and Morrison put on a hefty match up and it showed. Morrison scored the third fall after hitting Starship Pain and man…he got an ovation.
Mickie James defeated Layla
Layla was fighting Mickie James, if you can call it fighting. Mickie James easily defated the Smackdown Diva, and it was not much of a challeng. I was a little bored. Mickie James needs more wrestling competition, simply put.

WWE Smackdown 11/13/09 Results and Review The Undertaker Jericho
WWE Smackdown 11/13/09 Results
C.M. Punk defeated R Truth
Natalya defeated Mickie James
Drew McIntyre vs Finlay no contest/double dq
John Morrison vs Dolph Ziggler double countout
Beth Phoenix defeated Lisa Taylor
The Undertaker defeated Chris Jericho
WWE Smackdown 11/14/09 Review
So here we are again, in England and Cm Punk comes out and does his sermon as usual. He talks about how he’s better than everyone there, and that straightedge is a great thing, and he’s perfect, basically the same promo he’s been doing for a long time now.
C.M. Punk defeated R Truth
Cm Punk and R Truth are both amidst a depush in a lot of ways, and it’s interesting to see how WWE is letting the ropes go in regards to these two performers. The match was fast paced, which definitely favored Truth, and as we went to the first commercial break, Truth had Punk on the floor and reeling. The rest of the match was definitely back and forth between the two, but at one point Truth’s knee started to fail him and Punk capitalized. This made it a more event fight as Truth couldn’t use his speed to get the upper hand. Punk was in the lead, and after a quick roll up attempt and a hand full of ropes, Punk finished off Truth, although not clean.
Natalya defeated Mickie James
Mickie James finally had some good competition, and it showed that she wasn’t just a hack, although she still looks a bit heavy. The match was back and forth, with Natalya getting the upper hand after Michelle McCool and Layla were ripping up Mickie James’ clothing on the outside. Natalya won with a sharpshooter and the match was over. This match wasn’t that good, but it was better than the Raw side of the divas, that’s for sure.
Drew McIntyre vs Finlay no contest/double dq
Well we finally get a good match, or at least on paper a good match, with Drew McIntyre as he fights the guy that claims he loves to fight. This match was getting good, but the two just kept fighting each other outside the ring and then inside the ring to the point that the referee just threw the match out. McIntyre is getting a good build, I hope they keep it up. Finlay and Drew McIntyre need a no holds barred match, or something hat spills to the outside, ala Triple H vs Mankind, leading to an old school cage match. Remember? Summerslam 97? Come on…they stole the show…although Undertaker and Bret Hart was a great classic match too.
Batista and Rey Mysterio had a contract signing. Of course, in contract signing fashion, Mysterio threw the table over Batista and embarrassed him. NO contract signing goes smoothly, does it? I hate contract signings.
John Morrison vs Dolph Ziggler double countout
I still say that Mysterio vs Ziggler (the first time) was the best match of 2009 and proof that Ziggler has some major skills. In this match he was proving once again that he was a might good wrestler. Seriously, I couldn’t believe how good this guy is and wonder why WWE can’t get more guys with the same intensity. This match was getting really good, and these guys were definitely giving top notch performances, but both men fell off the top rope and got counted out. Morrison looked to have the worse of it though.
Beth Phoenix defeated Lisa Taylor
Beth Phoenix once again defeats a jobber in ring. This match was nothing more than a classic jobber vs up and comer type match up. Seriously, it was just your standard job. I was bored.
The Undertaker defeated Chris Jericho
This ppv caliber match, on paper, started with Undertaker in control and Jericho reeling as the phenom was definitely on top of his game. The match had a back and forth feel, with the Undertaker actually looking human. Jericho kept on pushing and eventually hit the Code Breaker! Without being able to pin the Undertaker Jericho went for the Tombstone Piledriver but it was reversed and eventually the Walls of Jericho were slapped on! However, Undertaker reversed that into the Hells Gate Submission and Jericho tapped like a school girl. Overall a good outing, but limited to television time restraints. They’ll meet again on ppv, and it should be an instant classic.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/30/09 Results and Review Halloween Show
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/30/09 Results
Dolph Ziggler defeated John Morrison via countout
Beth Phoenix defeated Jenny Brooks
Matt Hardy defeated Escobar
Drew McIntyre vs Finlay no contest
CM Punk defeated Scott Armstrong
Chris Jericho defeated Kane
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/30/09 Review
Todd Grisham and Matt Striker are the ringside announcers now, since Jim Ross is not feeling so hot lately.
Teddy Long started the show talking about how Smackdown was great at Bragging Rights, and then recapping the events that transpired between Batista and Rey Mysterio. Teddy Long started talking about how great the Smackdown brand was, then Chris Jericho came out to talk about random crap. Teddy Long took the trophy away from Jericho, and the night continued with Jericho complaining about how he doesn’t have a title shot.
This prompted Kane to show up. After a near melee, Teddy Long created a match to see who would join the Big Show and Undertaker for the title. Kane and Jericho will square off later tonight and the Survivor series match is going to be a triple threat match, just like the Raw main event will be.
Long gone are the days of singles matches for the title? Am I watching TNA? I’m confused.
Dolph Ziggler defeated John Morrison via countout
This match started fast, off rails and going forward to becoming match of the night. Morrison and Ziggler are definitely the future of this company, even though John Morrison’s ring attire is a bit dated at this point. This match was fast paced, move for move, and these guys put on a great show. I really liked how these two knew each others moves and narrowly missed getting hit by them. The match broke down on the outside, as Ziggler hit a sick move on the announcers table, costing the ten count on John Morrison and winning this match with ease.
Beth Phoenix defeated Jenny Brooks
Beth Phoenix defeated this jobber or sorts. This match was all Beth Phoenix, and it was nice to see her get some good offense in and prove that she can wrestle and is not just a…face of sorts.
Matt Hardy defeated Escobar
Matt Hardy is fat. Escobar is a wannabe latino heat…only he has none of the charisma. WWE buries talent, and uses Matt Hardy and his fat gut to do it. On the other hand, this match had some good moments. Escobar attacking Hardy’s knee was a classic technical wrestler move, however, not following up and letting Matt Hardy steal another win, is not a classic move. Matt Hardy completely buries the new guy, and why not? That’s the traditional way of not getting someone over in the wwe. I don’t mind, the match wasn’t completely terrible. It was a bit shorter than I thought it would be, and probably because Escoobar isn’t ready for the big time.
Rey Mysterio wanted an explanation in ring about what happened. Batista came out and the two shared words. This thing wasn’t as tense as I thought, and it really didn’t look that great to me. However, Batista turning Heel? That’s something I could get behind, but seeing Mysterio in another “little man” vs “big man” feud is a bit much. We need a cruiserweight division, that’s for sure.
On a sidenote, I want to say that Twilight sucks, and I’m already tired of seeing the advertisements for a pg-13 new moon…now if it was rated R and we got some….um…nevermind.
Drew McIntyre vs Finlay no contest
Finlay, the guy who loves to fight, was scheduled to wrestle Drew McIntyre. However, Finlay never really made it as Drew McIntyre attacked him and forced the match to get canceled. It’s ironic really that Finlay gets pwned like this. Oh well. I like how they are building up Drew McIntyre.
The Divas had a costume contest, and it broke into a fight. I’ve been tired of the no talent wwe divas for a long time, but I don’t call the shots, I just review em.
Cm Punk defeated Scott Armstrong
Remember that awesome match in WCW with Brad Armstrong and Dean Malenko? Of course you don’t, but this match reminded me of that. Only because Scott Armstrong comes from a wrestling family and like his other brothers isn’t very famous…until now…well Road Dogg is, but that’s another story. Punk killed Scott Armstrong here, he hit the GTS and really made short work out of Armstrong, for no apparent reason other than Punk couldn’t beat the Undertaker.
Chris Jericho defeated Kane
Kane and Jericho put on an ok match. In fact, this match was a little more than ok, this was the first time I was actually interested in a Kane match. Well, the first time in a long time. The Big Slow machine has been stinking up the arena’s for quite sometime, and I feel he’s on his way out. He’s a tired gimmick and boring to watch. He has some cool moments though, but overall, he’s not that good…unless he’s wrestling Chris Jericho. Jericho was not in control for most of this match as it seemed that every time he would throw a move up, he would get stopped by Kane and couldn’t really capitalize on it. This match really started to slow down but Jericho’s Codebreaker on Kane as Kane came off the top rope, made this something to see. While it didn’t look as good as many other moments that Jericho has done, this spot was done well considering Kane’s size. Jericho wins and is going to Survivor series to wrestle a similar storyline that Raw is doing. Oh well…
Smackdown was ok, nothing too crazy happened and it was entertaining enough to get me through another day of wrestling.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/23/09 Results and Review Taker Punk Three
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/23/09 Results
R Truth, Matt Hardy, Finlay, and The Hart Dynasty defeated Drew McIntyre, Escobar, Dolph Ziggler, JTG
John Morrison defeated Mike Knox
Rey Mysterio and Batista defeated Chris Jericho and Kane
Mickie James defeated Layla
The Undertaker defeated CM Punk
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/23/09 Review
Jim Ross was sick, and we started the show with a recap of Raw. I was half asleep…and my arm hurt because I slept on it wrong.
Chris Jericho was in ring talking about how great his team was etc. Cryme Tyme interrupted Chris Jericho and it wasn’t half bad.
The show moved to having all the Smackdown Team in ring arguing about crap. Jericho and Kane basically forced four out of the seven members into a handicap match that wills tart later on tonight. This show just seemed like filler from the start.
R Truth, Matt Hardy, Finlay, and The Hart Dynasty defeated Drew McIntyre, Escobar, Dolph Ziggler, JTG
This was an odd thrown together match up, but hey, it’s the WWE, what do you expect? This match was your standard tag team fare, with the faces taking control with each major movement. The guys would hit some great shots, and keep the Smackdown hopefuls at bay for the most part. Due to the fact that there were so many personalities in this match up, there just was a lot of things working against the ref, who found it hard to keep control. Finlay hit JTG with a foreign object in the leg, and Matt Hardy hit the twist of fate, winning the match up! They didn’t let this match develop fully, but it had some good high spots, that’s for sure.
John Morrison defeated Mike Knox
This match wasn’t all that great at all. Mike Knox took Morrison to the limits, well, some limits, and after a few moments getting hit with Knox’s power moves, he managed to squirm out a win by hitting Starship Pain and not even breaking sweat! I guess he gets credit for that indeed.
Rey Mysterio and Batista defeated Chris Jericho and Kane
Jericho and Kane isolated Mysterio for a good portion of this match up. The two monster heel’s seemed to know how to really work the crowd too, because with every motion they had people cheering on Mysterio and hoping for a bright spot in the match up. The fans would go crazy when Mysterio opened up a spot for a fall away ddt and nearly tag Batista. However, the big red machine wasn’t done yet and he was pushing for more punishment. The match definitely got good when Batista got the hot tag, and this thing was a powder keg exploding, and even though Mysterio got choke slammed nearly through the mat, Batista was able to spear Kane and get the win for his team.
Mickie James defeated Layla
This match was boring to me. Mickie James was wrestling at half speed, and her opponent wasn’t keeping up at all, at least not in my view. Jerry Lawler said “very impressive” and I wish I was smoking what he was, because this match sucked.
The Undertaker defeated Cm Punk
The Undertaker had the cards stacked against him in this match up, and that made for an intriguing factor. While it was the undertaker that had all the problems against him in this match up, it was CM Punk that had full control over his opponent during the ongoings of this match up. Whenever Undertaker would try to force his will, Punk was right there to counter. This didn’t last too long as The Undertaker would find a way to come back and start giving Punk some sick moves. Snakeeyes, a leg drop and a running clothesline put Punk in a major daze. Punk brought in a chair to the match but Taker was the one that used it, well at least in reversing Punk’s running attack. Undertaker then hit a huge choke slam on the referee, and put his eyes set on Teddy Long! Punk leveled Undertaker with a steel chair and as Teddy Long called for a new referee, Punk put on the Anaconda device, but couldn’t submit Undertaker. Undertaker than slid out and hit the Hell’s Gate submission hold and made Cm Punk tap out! Undertaker retains, regardless of all the odds stacked against him.
Smackdown was ok…if you thought differently leave a comment. Also, make sure you click the Amazon ads and buy something, I still have no job…and am severely broke.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/23/09 Review
Jim Ross was sick, and we started the show with a recap of Raw. I was half asleep…and my arm hurt because I slept on it wrong.
Chris Jericho was in ring talking about how great his team was etc. Cryme Tyme interrupted Chris Jericho and it wasn’t half bad.
The show moved to having all the Smackdown Team in ring arguing about crap. Jericho and Kane basically forced four out of the seven members into a handicap match that wills tart later on tonight. This show just seemed like filler from the start.
R Truth, Matt Hardy, Finlay, and The Hart Dynasty defeated Drew McIntyre, Escobar, Dolph Ziggler, JTG
This was an odd thrown together match up, but hey, it’s the WWE, what do you expect? This match was your standard tag team fare, with the faces taking control with each major movement. The guys would hit some great shots, and keep the Smackdown hopefuls at bay for the most part. Due to the fact that there were so many personalities in this match up, there just was a lot of things working against the ref, who found it hard to keep control. Finlay hit JTG with a foreign object in the leg, and Matt Hardy hit the twist of fate, winning the match up! They didn’t let this match develop fully, but it had some good high spots, that’s for sure.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 9/4/09 Results and Review The Morrison Era Begins
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 9/4/09 Results
The Great Khali & Finlay defeated Kane & Mike Knox
John Morrison defeated Rey Mysterio Jr to win the Intercontinental Championship Belt
Maria & Eve defeated Natalya & Layla
CM Punk vs Matt Hardy No Contest
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 9/4/09 Review
**NOTE*** I know it sucks to read about me, an idiot asking for money, but I could use a few dollars, so if you have spare change, please click here to buy stuff from amazon and help me in this time of need. I was let go from my job yesterday and am struggling.
Thank you. ****
Alright, now down to business, Smackdown had a lot of buzz, and my friend actually told me a result early, but I will pretend I didn’t hear it, so here we go, Smackdown after Summerslam, I think…I maybe wrong, I might be right, I don’t know. My mother in law will be in town again next week, but I’ll have reviews because I have no job now…awesome.
The night started with a Jeff Hardy package, talking about saving the memories. The dude is not my favorite, but he is one heck of a worker, and proves that a little guy could do a lot. I like Punk though, I like him a lot as a heel.
Cm Punk came out to Jeff Hardy’s music and dressed like Jeff Hardy, and basically got booed out of the building! That’s great, Smackdown is the #1 WWE show in my book right now, just with that opening. Punk spoke volumes about all sorts of things, and after a few paragraphs, out came Matt Hardy and immediately was beating up Punk, and guess what? He was over! The crowd was going nuts for Hardy which is nice to see, especially after his last run had him failing to get any reaction.
The Great Khali & Finlay defeated Kane & Mike Knox
This match was slow and not very good for the most part. I was bored with it, and while Knox and Finlay are the fasted guys in this match, this was just slow moving. Kane looks injured, his run to get thrown over the top rope looked like an old man trying to walk without his cane. Finlay hit Knox in the head with a weapon and it was all said and done. Yep…this match was so slow, and Khali barely got a shot at Kane. Finlay looked somewhat injured, but overall this thing was tiresome.
The divas drama backstage, is lame, and stupid. I hated it. I hate this part, WWE Smackdown isn’t the #1 show, it’s just a show.
John Morrison defeated Rey Mysterio Jr to win the Intercontinental Championship Belt
With Mysterio basically in the doghouse, and my friend telling me this was going to happen, I knew the outcome, but the match? Dang. The match had a lot of stiff moments, with Mysterio trying to get the better of Morrison and Morrison looking a bit stunned at times by the faster offense by his smaller opponent. At one point it looked like Mysterio injured himself or his back on a twist to the outside, things looked tough from that point forward for Mysterio and Morrison met him with enough intensity to earn himself respect, if nothing more. Morrison took some sick bumps to put over Mysterio as a worthwhile champion, and Morrison just looked down and out for a good portion of this match up. Morrison slowed this thing down with several rest holds, and really tried to get this thing slowed down, because if it were up to Rey he’d be high spotting himself to another win. Mysterio hit the 619 and I thought this one was won, but nope, Morrison hit a spinning kick to the face and this thing was on rails. I couldn’t believe this is a free match on television. Starship Pain was hit and BOOM we got a new Intercontinental Champion! This was a ppv caliber match up.
R Truth was coming down to ringside, and as he went into the ring he got beat up again by Drew McIntyre. Yep, a new guy, and he’s Scottish.
Maria & Eve defeated Natalya & Layla
Awesome, three out of four of these women can’t wrestle at all. I guess this is all they could come up with for the follow up to the Intercontinental Title match. This was one of the worst women matches I’ve ever seen. This match sucked. However, the women did pick it up towards the end, although, it’s just a crap division, I’m sorry, WWE has never done good with the women.
CM Punk vs Matt Hardy No Contest
Matt Hardy looks fat to me. I’m sorry, he just looks fat, and he’s not that great right now. He’s actually slow, and Punk was the one that seemed to be perfectly in shape and ready to go full speed. That being said, this match was half speed for the most part, with a lot of rest holds to slow the pace of the match. There were a few moments where I thought this thing was going to seriously make some moves, but it just didn’t happen. Towards the end of the match it appeared that Punk wasn’t going to be able to put away Hardy, but with a few mistakes on the behalf of Matt Hardy, Punk slowly got this thing to go in his direction. Punk got a steal chair out and started to go to work against Hardy, and for some reason wasn’t disqualified, even though hitting someone outside of the ring with a chair is technically not a legal move in the match. Furthermore, the count was not even going too far, when The Undertaker appeared out of nowhere! He then Chokeslammed the crap out of CM Punk through the announce table! This match was as good as done. No winner I guess…Matt hardy got tore up for no reason it seems.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 8/14/09 Results and Review The Better WWE Show
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 8/14/09 Results
Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay
CM Punk defeated John Morrison
Melina defeated Layla
The Big Show defeated JTG
The Hart Dynasty defeated Jeff Hardy
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 8/14/09 Review
CM Punk opened up the show, and his new shirt is badass! Now that’s a shirt! I love that thing, if you saw it, you know! Punk got on the mic and delivered another one of his heel speeches. Teddy Long came out and interrupted Cm Punk. Jeff Hardy came down and talked some more, and that was that.
Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay
Dolph Ziggler and Finlay put on a halfway decent match. Ziggler took some punishment, and wasn’t able to counter Finlay’s overt style, but was in fact able to get a few shots in, including a running kick to the corner of the ring, to lead us to commercial break. Upon returning from the break, Dolph Ziggler was showcasing how intelligent Ziggler is in regards to his abilities. He was playing the more technical wrestler role here, while Finlay was having a hard time managing reversals. Finlay’s overt strong style, complimented Ziggler’s attempts for technical counters and heavier impact moves. Mike Knox came to ring side, and was watching outside the ring, meanwhile the two mid carders were putting on a good match up. Ziggler, continued to take punishment towards the end of this match up, with Finlay hitting hard shots to the face, and eventually tossing Ziggler outside of the ring, right in front of Mike Knox. As the two men went back to the ring, Knox hit Finlay, and Ziggler capitalized winning this match and moving forward in his quest to solidify his wrestling skills.
Post match Mike Knox attacked Finlay and pummeled him outside of the ring.
CM Punk defeated John Morrison
Here we go, Cm Punk vs Morrison three, and this time Punk was starting things out solid. The match started to get a little fast paced, and of course we had to go commercial break. After we came back from Break, the two were locked into Punk’s more technical style, forcing Morrison to stay grounded instead of hitting his fast paced offense. Punk was definitely trying to tire out Morrison so that he couldn’t hit his finisher, and more. However, Morrison kept finding ways to wiggle out of headlocks, and stretches, causing Punk to show a little frustration over this match up. Punk couldn’t hit his GTS, trying twice to get Morrison down for the count. Morrison nearly put away Punk twice, nearly hitting his Starship Pain, but it wasn’t to be had, as Punk fought back hard, and eventually hit the GTS to get the pinfall victory, finally defeating Morrison. This gets match of the week for wrestling, that’s for sure. This was a good overall match up, and Punk really proved that he’s not just a paper champion or a midcarder on his way down. Morrison also was impressive, but was two steps behind Punk at the end, and Punk made sure to capitalize, making this match a good entertaining bout.
Melina defeated Layla
Layla was giving a lot of pain to Melina. Melina, being very flexible, seemed to take a lot of pretzel like positions at the hands of Layla. Layla looked like she was improving nicely, but it was evident that she wasn’t quite ready for the big time, showcasing uneasy moments and second guessing her moves. Melina was definitely a better wrestler in this match, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot as Melina’s screams and random offense did not make any sense and was done with a slow movement that really took me out of the match up. There was also several botched moves, and misses that were just too obvious to ignore. While Melina is getting better, she just isn’t ready to carry a newcomer like Layla in this match and it showed as the match went on longer. Melina screaming was annoying as hell too, and after the match was over, I was so glad to finally get past the mandatory divas match up. I hate the wwe divas, they can’t wrestle, they are just stupid to me. I’d rather watch the Knockouts, at least they actually have good timing at times.
The Big Show defeated JTG
The Big Show dominated this match up against JTG to the point that this match wasn’t too great. I mean, The Big Show doesn’t have to job out to JTG, but it wasn’t that entertaining to me. Meanwhile the wife was yelling at me because of the bathroom being dirty, so maybe it was her nagging that made me not like this match.
The Hart Dynasty defeated Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy seemed to be getting punished in this match. Word on the street is that Hardy isn’t going to finish out the year with WWE and hasn’t renewed his contract, so is this punishment? I had to wonder as Hardy had to fight both members of the Hart Dynasty in this match up, and was getting worked over through out this match up. It was actually kind of a let down overall with Hardy getting beat up at every moment, and even DH Smith looked good, with Hardy slowing down to half speed and letting DH catch up, when he would normally look slow and uneasy. For once, DH Smith was looking like a shade of his father, but only because Hardy played up his injury. Tyson Kidd was not on top of his game, making rookie mistakes that would make Bret Hart shake his head in disbelief. Tyson Kidd eventually got his bearings and with a little help of DH Smith pinned the champion clean, and this thing was over.
Post match CM Punk came down to the ring to pick the bones of Jeff Hardy. He was fighting Hardy, pummeling him with elbows until John Morrison ran down for the safe, hitting everyone that was moving in the ring, and causing the fans to react positively to the rising star. Cm Punk turned this around with the equalizer; a steel chair. He then wrapped Hardy’s neck into a chair, and was ready to break Hardy’s neck, but out ran down Matt Hardy and was fighting like crazy against PUNK! This got great cheers, and Morrison and Matt Hardy, one time enemies, were cleaning up the mess and the crowd was loving it. I wasn’t so sure just yet, but it was cool to see that he helped out.
The night ended with the Hardy Boys reuniting in the ring.
The camera’s went backstage and there was Vince McMahon.
Cm Punk and The Hart Dynasty will face The Hardy’s and John Morrison next week. Vince McMahon than just left and it looked like Teddy Long might be losing his job sooner than later.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 8/7/09 Results
CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy no contest
John Morrison defeated Tyson Kidd
Slam Master J defeated Charlie Haas
Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay, R Truth, and Mike Knox
JTG defeated Chris Jericho
The Great Khali defeated Ricky Ortiz
Jeff Hardy defeted CM Punk
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 8/7/09 Review
CM Punk was out to ring side and giving a heel promo, guised as a face promo? He was talking about how the fans need him, and that he is better than Hardy because he doesn’t drink, smoke, or do drugs.
CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy no contest
This match never got off the ground, the two were fighting so hard that it prompted security to come out and separate them. This was so out of control that it prompted Vince McMahon to come out and talk about how Teddy Long is on probation, and introduced a new guest enforcer for the title match between Hardy and Punk.
The guest enforcer is, to be announced.
Hardy then lunged at Punk, and Punk escaped to ringside. This match for all intents and purposes was a no contest, for now.
John Morrison defeated Tyson Kidd
I admit, Morrison is good, but I’m not a fan. Kidd is ok, but I’m not a fan either. Maybe the two could wake me up from my pizza coma, as I had pizza for dinner. Early on the match was somewhat slow, to start, however once the battle went to the floor Kidd got the leg up, and was overpowering Morrison with the numbers game. Morisson, after the break, was all over Kidd with heavy weight moves. Including a signature Standing Moonsault, creating a near fall that jolted him. Kidd was trying to keep up, but was actually out wrestled by a heavier, more agile Morrison. Morrison did get into a cross submission maneuver, and looked decent, but it just seemed a little sloppy in comparison to Morrison. Morrison hit Starship Pain on Kidd’s FACE! No doubt hurting the lad, and this match was over. Kidd got hit hard, I’m surprised that Kidd wasn’t legit knocked out, as Morrison looked a little bit callous and reckless with that final move for the win.
Slam Master J defeated Charlie Haas
Jam Master J picked up his first win on Smackdown as a solo wrestler. Haas did ok, but this was another job well done for good ol’ Charlie Haas who just basically laid down for Master J to win. This was another one of Charlie Haas’s losses, face it, he’s on his way out.
Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay, R Truth, and Mike Knox
This match featured four IC title contenders, in a free for all type match. Each one was hitting hard and no one was getting the clear advantage early on. Mike Knox looked like he was going to win this one, but after a few near falls, it was a cluster of humanity in the ring. Each member getting shots on the other, eventually it was Dolph Ziggler getting over with a pinfall. Ziggler wasn’t a major factor in this match, and in fact the only one that seemed to get a big reaction was R Truth, but it was to no avail, Ziggler will once again try to steal the show with Rey for the Intercontinental title at summerslam.
JTG defeated Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho can make anyone look good and he proved it in this match. JTG is not a top worker, yet he strung together an alright match with none other than Jericho, who is simply on top of his game right now. The two exchanged some quick pinfalls, and near misses, with Jericho putting over JTG in the end. JTG hit a nice top rope leg drop, and when Jericho thought he had won this one after a codebreaker, JTG managed to roll up Jericho while he was arguing with the ref, getting the quick pinfall! JTG defeated Jericho, and this match wasn’t half bad.
The Great Khali defeated Ricky Ortiz
Ricky Ortiz might be on his way out too, because he just lost in like 5 minutes. Khali hit the plunge and then pinned Ortiz with ease. A total squash; maybe Ortiz is next to get thrown out aka fired.
Jeff hardy defeated CM Punk w/ special guest enforcer Matt hardy
Matt Hardy is back and he has his cast off. He looks to have gained a little weight too, and he’s going to be the enforcer!
Jeff Hardy started this match like the champ, fast and easily putting Punk at bay, holding onto the overall aptitude of the match up. Punk turned things around after the commercial break and looked like he was going to get the upper hand in this match up, but wasn’t able to counter some of Hardy’s offense, which sometimes came out of nowhere with no way to telegraph things. Punk hit a picture perfect top rope superplex and was ready to hit the GTS, looking like the title was in his reach, but instead decided to punish hardy a little before hand, allowing Hardy to reverse it, only to get into a nearfall yet again. Punk jumped to the outside where Matt and Jeff had to face each other, but nothing happened…until Punk baseball slid Matt to the floor! Hardy capitalized on the distraction and hit the Twist of Fate then went for the Swanton Bomb, but Punk got his knees up! Matt pulled the referee while Punk was at a 2 count! Hardy then hit a nice roll up, and Matt counted really fast, allowing Hardy to win the match, and punk was left mad at Matt! Punk then chased Matt…this thing has some interesting turning points, it’ll be interesting to see where this all goes in the near future.
Smackdown wasn’t all that great. However, after last night’s terrible night of wrestling, this was much appreciated.
Post match, Punk once again pummeled Jeff Hardy, hitting him with a chair and making short work of Hardy, too bad it was after the match was over!

Jeff Hardy defeted CM Punk
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 8/7/09 Review
CM Punk was out to ring side and giving a heel promo, guised as a face promo? He was talking about how the fans need him, and that he is better than Hardy because he doesn’t drink, smoke, or do drugs.
CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy no contest
This match never got off the ground, the two were fighting so hard that it prompted security to come out and separate them. This was so out of control that it prompted Vince McMahon to come out and talk about how Teddy Long is on probation, and introduced a new guest enforcer for the title match between Hardy and Punk.
The guest enforcer is, to be announced.
Hardy then lunged at Punk, and Punk escaped to ringside. This match for all intents and purposes was a no contest, for now.
John Morrison defeated Tyson Kidd
I admit, Morrison is good, but I’m not a fan. Kidd is ok, but I’m not a fan either. Maybe the two could wake me up from my pizza coma, as I had pizza for dinner. Early on the match was somewhat slow, to start, however once the battle went to the floor Kidd got the leg up, and was overpowering Morrison with the numbers game. Morisson, after the break, was all over Kidd with heavy weight moves. Including a signature Standing Moonsault, creating a near fall that jolted him. Kidd was trying to keep up, but was actually out wrestled by a heavier, more agile Morrison. Morrison did get into a cross submission maneuver, and looked decent, but it just seemed a little sloppy in comparison to Morrison. Morrison hit Starship Pain on Kidd’s FACE! No doubt hurting the lad, and this match was over. Kidd got hit hard, I’m surprised that Kidd wasn’t legit knocked out, as Morrison looked a little bit callous and reckless with that final move for the win.
Slam Master J defeated Charlie Haas
Jam Master J picked up his first win on Smackdown as a solo wrestler. Haas did ok, but this was another job well done for good ol’ Charlie Haas who just basically laid down for Master J to win. This was another one of Charlie Haas’s losses, face it, he’s on his way out.
Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay, R Truth, and Mike Knox
This match featured four IC title contenders, in a free for all type match. Each one was hitting hard and no one was getting the clear advantage early on. Mike Knox looked like he was going to win this one, but after a few near falls, it was a cluster of humanity in the ring. Each member getting shots on the other, eventually it was Dolph Ziggler getting over with a pinfall. Ziggler wasn’t a major factor in this match, and in fact the only one that seemed to get a big reaction was R Truth, but it was to no avail, Ziggler will once again try to steal the show with Rey for the Intercontinental title at summerslam.
JTG defeated Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho can make anyone look good and he proved it in this match. JTG is not a top worker, yet he strung together an alright match with none other than Jericho, who is simply on top of his game right now. The two exchanged some quick pinfalls, and near misses, with Jericho putting over JTG in the end. JTG hit a nice top rope leg drop, and when Jericho thought he had won this one after a codebreaker, JTG managed to roll up Jericho while he was arguing with the ref, getting the quick pinfall! JTG defeated Jericho, and this match wasn’t half bad.
The Great Khali defeated Ricky Ortiz
Ricky Ortiz might be on his way out too, because he just lost in like 5 minutes. Khali hit the plunge and then pinned Ortiz with ease. A total squash; maybe Ortiz is next to get thrown out aka fired.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/31/09 Results and Review The Hardy Era Begins
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/31/09 Results
Cryme Tyme defeated The Hart Legacy
Eve Torres and Melina defeated Michelle McCool and Layla
Rey Mysterio & Finlay defeated Dolph Ziggler & Mike Knox
The Great Khali vs Charlie Haas no contest?
Jeff Hardy defeated John Morrison
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/31/09 Review
Jeff Hardy opened the show, with the Belt and the crowd roaring. He just gave the traditional, I’m high on the belt speech. Lame.
Cryme Tyme defeated The Hart Legacy
I still say that DH Smith is somewhat slow. Tyson Kidd is the speed of the team, and it showed, as he really took it to Shad in this match. In fact, JR even gave Kidd the nickname “Pitbull” that is usually reserved for Jamie Noble. It might not stick, but it was obvious that in his match, he was in top form against the former champions. JTG got tagged in, and it was actually getting good. Cryme Tyme looked like they were getting a second big push here in the WWE! After several near falls, Cryme Tyme got a #1 contender spot against the Champions at Summerslam. This match was fast paced, and not half bad.
Eve Torres and Melina defeated Michelle McCool and Layla
This math was hilarious. Your standard divas match, with the best wrestler nearly killing someone because they aren’t ready. Melina’s flippity floppy was interesting and took a lot of practice, I’m sure. That move was dang impressive. It was like a hurricanrana type flip into a pinning predicament? I don’t know, it was a weird move. I thought McCool’s team would win this one. But nope, upon the replay, it was simply a sunset flip over from a Widow’s peak position, not as impressive. This match wasn’t that great.
Rey Mysterio & Finlay defeated Dolph Ziggler & Mike Knox
This match was given some good time, considering the people involved. Knox and Ziggler worked really well as a team, and remained impressive in this match. Finlay took some major damage in the second part of this match, meanwhile Rey Mysterio was patiently waiting a tag. The heels were in perfect form, during the course of this match, playing up everything to the fullest, creating a good overall match up, despite Knox and Finlay not being main eventers or even upper mid card these days. Mysterio got the hot tag and was thwarted by a waiting Dolph Ziggler, but eventually was tagged in the face with a big kick. Mysterio had this thing won, but Knox thwarted the pinfall, and it was Ziggler and Finlay in ring towards the end, but they weren’t both legal men in ring, Mysterio hit a nice roll up and pinned Ziggler! A nice turn about match with good spots, and overall great style, despite two low carders and two high mid carders; I liked this match.
The Great Khali vs Charlie Haas no contest?
Charlie Haas has to be on his way out too, he hasn’t won a match in a long time. This match went nowhere, Kane interfered, Khali left the ring, no announcement was made, and we went to commercial break.
Jeff Hardy defeated John Morrison
This match was free, that was odd to me. These two could really go, and they did. For about thirty minutes they were exchanging rough hits, high spots, and great points to prove that they are worth their weight in the main event. The crowd was roaring, and each man was definitely getting great reversals during this match up. When one man would go for a signature move, the other would duck, roll, or just get out of the way, this is the smartest wrestling I’ve seen since Dolph Ziggler and Rey Mysterio at the ppv. Morrison had this match sewn up several times, it looked like he was going to win this thing with so many moves. From the kicks, to the reverse springboard kick off the middle rope, he seemed poised to take the belt so early. Hardy kept going to the top rope, missing several times, but late in the match he hit the Swanton Bomb, with the crowd roaring he went for the pin and it was to no avail! Morrison managed to kick out, and this match had the crowd reeling. When Morrison went for The Starship Pain, Hardy put his knees up, derailing Morrison’s hopes and eventually got the pin with the Twist of Fate setting up the massive three count. Great match, and for free? Yep.
Post Match C.M. Punk came out to congratulate Hardy. He raised his hand, and then got on the mic. He started talking then hit him with the MIC in the head, then threw him out of the ring and went on a full blown attack! Yes this is rad, finally a heel that doesn’t give a damn! Punk just made a believer out of me, assaulting Hardy with reckless abandon! Seriously, this has been the best Heel fight I’ve seen in a long time. Punk simply beat the hell out of Hardy for no apparent reason other than he doesn’t like him and that’s the goal of wrestling to me. Create feuds out of hatred for each other, and not just because of someone stealing their wife or something lame like that. Hardy beat the hell out of Hardy, it was great, Punk reminded me of Steve Austin, no, Kevin Sullivan, no Chris Benoit from 1996…I don’t know, he was out there and just putting the boots to Hardy with no care for himself or his opponent. I loved this ending.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/24/09 Results and Review Night of Champions Preview
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/24/09 Results
Jeff Hardy defeated Chris Jericho
The Great Khali defeated Mike Knox
Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay via countout
Eve Torres defeated Natalya
R Truth defeated Charlie Haas
Rey Mysterio defeated CM Punk via disqualification
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/24/09 Review
Jeff Hardy got on the mic and said some crap, I wasn’t paying attention, until Chris Jericho’s music hit and he came down. The two squared off in the opening bout.
Jeff Hardy defeated Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho started the match at full speed, but it was Jeff that kept turning things around, not letting Jericho have his way in this match at all and looking like a true champion. Jericho might have taken some hits, but he quickly turned this thing around, being the smarter technician in the ring. The two exchanged close calls, Hardy getting the most crowd involvement, but Jericho wasn’t letting him upstage him. Jericho had counters for a lot of great moments in this match, proving that Jericho should be the Champion that no one can top for a long time. He’s not having to cheat here, he simply has outsmarted Hardy at many moments. Hardy of course wasn’t giving up, so Jericho showed frustration, but given more time Jericho winning would not be too outlandish at all. Of course Jericho’s wit and quickness wasn’t to be the end all as Jericho pinned Jericho and gets the win. A good opening match, and good amount of wrestling for these two, great stuff here, if you missed it, check it out.
The Great Khali defeated Mike Knox
These two big men put on a match, it was passable as such, but nothing worth writing home about. Knox got some offense in with a distraction from Kane, who stood at the ramp watching, but it was Khali that put this one away with ease. Goodbye Mike Knox, and good riddance.
Dolph Ziggler now being walked out by none other than Maria, is not bad, not good either.
Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay via countout
Wow, I hadn’t remembered Finlay was still active in WWE until he showed up for this match with Dolph Ziggler. If this match had more time I think it would have been a lot better. Ziggler was not dominating, Finlay had this thing well in hand, until it spilled onto the floor where Ziggler was cunning and managed to injure Finlay long enough to get a countout win, and a negative reaction from the crowd.
CM Punk was preaching a straightedge sermon. While I admire straightedge and enjoy the music that came out of the straightedge inception, but in wrestling? As a villain? I don’t know. Punk is sincerely trying to be a villain here, but I can’t hate him for being the way he is…but must force myself to cheer Hardy…No, Must resist…Punk…Punk…Punk.
Hardy came out and Punk left. That made the fans chant Hardy all the more. I didn’t.
Eve Torres defeated Natalya
Natalya was the obvious veteran, Eve was not timing things well and was taking a lot of punishment in ring. I said all that, but somehow, somewhere by some miracle Eve landed a moonsault! Natalya’s Surfboard was epic though, too little though, as Eve hit a moonsault that nearly broke her ankles, and Natalya loses….not sure why.
R Truth defeated Charlie Haas
R Truth came out to nice fan fare, which is much appreciated, I’m sure. He would have to contend with Charlie Haas. Let’s face it, even if Haas threw up the most impressive match ever, it wouldn’t matter because R Truth is going over these days. This match had a good flow, a little back and forth, but right when Haas seemed like he had things going, he lost with Truth going over after a nice Scissor kick, to rival Booker T in his prime. What’s up?!
Rey Mysterio defeated CM Punk via disqualification
These two put on a halfway decent match, with neither one getting the upper hand more so than the other. The equalizer from Punk was throwing Rey Mysterio into a ring post, and of course the WWE cut to commercial. This match had some real flow to it, but the commercial really took me out of the action. Punk hit a sweet tilt o world back breaker that was picture perfect, well placed onto Mysterio’s back. The champ really had Mysterio floored after that, and was working over Mysterio’s arm, a move that many people have focused on in the past. (I recall Dean Malenko’s top priority was Mysterio’s arm in his matches against Rey Mysterio for the Cruiserweight Belt in WCW) Dolph Ziggler showed up to watch the match at ringside, which I knew would play out later on in this match up. Mysterio hit a nice spring board press, but Ziggler decided to jump on the apron, and Punk capitalized with a nice heel kick, only for a two count, and this thing was ready to fall off the rails. Mysterio’s face got plastered with a knee to the face in the corner, and Punk was struggling to get this thing put away, but wasn’t able to get things done fast. Mysterio telegraphed a launch off the ropes and was in GTS position, only to counter and set up the 619! He then hit the splash and this match was over! But Ziggler ran in to break things up, and the match was thrown out…Mysterio wins!
Post match Ziggler gave Mysterio a major beating. Jeff hardy ran down to save Mysterio but that prompted CM Punk to chase down Hardy and hit a GTS to put a final exclamation point on the night!
This night of wrestling wasn’t half bad. I liked it. It had a few moments where I was starting to give up, like the Khali match. However, the opening and closing of the show was worth it. Jericho, Punk, Hardy and Mysterio are doing their thing and I don’t mind it that much. You might disagree though.

ECW on Scifi 6/23/09 Results and Review Swagger Hunting
ECW on Scifi 6/23/09 Results
Evan Bourne defeated Tyson Kidd
Finlay defeated Zack Ryder
Jack Swagger & Mark Henry defeated Christian & Tommy Dreamer
ECW on Scifi 6/23/09 Review
ECW opens up yet again to a silent no commentators crowd shot, then in came in some random idiot…right Todd Grisham.
Evan Bourne defeated Tyson Kidd
I’m not sure why the Wwe gave this singles match away for free. This thing had serious ppv quality written all over it, at least in theory. The match wasn’t half bad, Evan Bourne had his mid section taped and was favoring it. Kidd also focused on the hurt ribs, which was interesting. This thing started to pick up, Tyson Kidd somehow pulled it off, winning this one. This wasn’t the first time these two met, which was weird. Bourne isn’t doing so great in mixing up his matches, they are starting to feel too predictable, and just like Rey Mysterio, he needs a better opponent.
Finlay defeated Zack Ryder
Zack Ryder fought Finlay in a good amount of time, he had a lot of offense in for being a glorified jobber. Finlay turned things around, as you would expect, and eventually put this one away. Ryder can’t possibly be getting much more of a push, he’s going to get buried and fired, might as well wish him his best on future endeavors….aka TNA.
Jack Swagger & Mark Henry defeated Christian & Tommy Dreamer
This tag team match seemed tacked on at the end. Sure it involves all the main event guys, but it just wasn’t worth while. The match had a few moments, but it’s painfully obvious to me that Dreamer isn’t really capable of carrying a match alone, therefore all four guys were making up for it. Christian had a few high spots, to create a better match up, but it just seemed like we saw this before, several times. Jack Swagger got the gut wrench powerbomb, and got another clean pin over Christian!
ECW was too fast, and I was too tired.

Ecw on Scifi 5/20/09 Results and Review War of the Lisps
ECW on Scifi 5/20/09 Results
Christian defeated Paul Burchill
Zack Ryder defeated Adam Green
DH Smith defeated Finlay
ECW on Scifi 5/20/09 Review
The night opened up with Jack Swagger in ring pouting about how he got screwed over at Judgment Day. Then after a few minutes out comes the general manager and eventually orders him to the backstage area and after some protest, he complies, like a little girl.
Christian defeated Paul Burchill
There was no chance that Paul Burchill was going to win this match up. I didn’t think he was going to win at all, and while he did have some great spots in this match, you just knew that there wasn’t a chance that he would win over the ECW champion. One thing to note was that Christian was favoring his knee after being tossed off the ramp by Jack Swagger. Burchill was really taking advantage of this, specifically by throwing Christian at the steel ring steps and then continuing to punish Christian’s knee. Christian took some major damage, but he managed to make a comeback and wins against Paul Burchill. How long before Paul is let go? Sooner than Later, probably.
Post match, Tommy Dreamer issued a challenge for the ECW title! Maybe Tommy is going to get one more chance at the belt.
Zack Ryder defeated Adam Green
Zack Ryder I weird. He’s like a parody but worse. He should maybe team up with the likes of DJ Gabriel? I don’t know. There wasn’t much to say about this match, his finishing move was interesting, a falling knee/kneckbreaker, which was interesting, but other than that, this match sucked. I am not a big fan of jobber matches.
DH Smith defeated Finlay
If you wanted a throwback to the old style of wrestling, you got it in this match. Finlay worked on DH Smith’s arm, and really slowed down the match completely. This match was a mat war, with not a whole lot more going on. The match did turn around towards the end as Smith was trying to show that he had some strength, but overall it was Finlay showing that he might be getting a little old, or that he too can rival the Hart Dungeon training somehow. I’m not sure where the match was intended to go, but eventually things spilled out to the floor and Finlay had to contend with interference from Natalya and Tyson Kidd, forcing him to take his eyes off the prize and let DH Smith get the win with a lot of help from a foreign object. This match was long and drawn out…not a new wave wrestling match at all.

ECW on Scifi 5/12/9 Results and Review Swagger stops By Again
ECW on Scifi 5/12/09 Results
Mark Henry defeated Tommy Dreamer
Finlay defeated Tyson Kidd via dq
Vladimir Kozlov defeated a jobber
Ecw on Scifi 5/12/09 Review
The show opened up with Christian and Jack Swagger talking to the general manager. It was the worst promo I’ve seen in a long time. Such a stale bit of backstage introduction, that I wanted to just go back to bed.
Mark Henry defeated Tommy Dreamer
Tommy almost had me believing that he could make a comeback in ECW, however it just didn’t work. Mark Henry got worked and basically just lost this match up due to brute force. Mark Henry was never too far away from control, and Tommy Dreamer did have a few moments of greatness, but not enough to win this match, so Dreamer is on his way out.
Finlay defeated Tyson Kidd via dq
This match was very back and forth with Tyson Kidd and Finlay exchanging various points in this match up. This was probably one of the better matches in ECW lately as the two were really putting their best foot forward as far as mat wrestling was concerned. However, Finlay looked like he was getting the edge against Tyson Kidd only to have the rug swept from under him, with the DH Smith interfering.
For those of you that don’t know DH Smith is the son of The British Bulldog. He’s considerably smaller, and at the end of the match the two performed The Heart Attack, the move made famous by the old Hart Foundation.
Vladimir Kozlov defeated a jobber
Kozlov defeated some random jobber, it was stupid and nothing really happened.
Christian had his Peep Show with the former ECW champion as the guest. Jack Swagger was in ring verbally sparring with Christian, or trying to anyways. It was kind of funny, but that was about it.
Ecw was lame this week.
****NOTE
I’ll be out of town this next few days. I will only have smaller updates and no reviews until next Tuesday with the Raw review. If you really want to help, buty something from amazon so I can get a ppv or two, it’s costing more than it should. If not, that’s cool, I’ll be back next week with more.

Ecw on Scifi 4/28/09 Results and Review The Christian Era Begins
Ecw on Scifi 4/28/09 Results
Tyson Kidd defeated Finlay
Christian vs Tommy Dreamer No Contest
Ecw on Scifi 4/28/09 Review
The show opened up with Christian. Tommy Dreamer came down to ringside and was basically asking for a title shot. Jack Swagger came down to ringside as well. He called Tommy Dreamer a joke, and said that Christian cheated. The result of this Segment was that we would get an ECW title match later in the show.
Tyson Kidd defeated Finlay
Finlay and Tyson Kidd went at it in this match, and it was really good. I don’t like Tyson Kidd’s hair cut, but he can really wrestle. The last of the Hart dungeon, he really does show that he can hack it inside the ring. That being said, this match had a lot of technical mat wrestling to it. That’s something we don’t really see too much from all the wwe superstars. Kidd was working on Finlay’s leg for a good portion of the match, obviously setting something up for later down the match’s pipeline. This match was good, it was nice to see a new comer getting such trust in the ring, as he took control of this match at several points and looked like he was a veteran at different times. Tyson Kidd edged out a win using Finlay’s on weapon to beat Finlay.
Christian vs Tommy Dreamer No Contest
I may have said in the past that Tommy Dreamer should quit, but he pulled out some great points in this match. He actually looked half way decent in this match. Christian wasn’t having the easiest of times controlling Tommy Dreamer, and it was interesting to note that the ECW championship title was on the line, on a television show! Tommy Dreamer was lined up to win this one, at least that’s the story that was unfolding during the match up. He set up Christian for the Tree of Woe and right before he could deliver the final strike, Jack Swagger ran down and interfered on purpose, the match getting thrown out. They never tell you what the result is, so I just say it was a no contest.
A short ECW, not a great show at all.
