Reviewing The Punjabi Prison Matches of the Past and Predicting The Future

Batista vs. Great Khali Battled In One Hell of A Punjabi Prison Match

This Sunday at WWE Battleground Jinder Mahal and Randy Orton are going to be locked into a crazy match known as the Punjabi Prison match. The two will face off for the WWE Championship and while some fans may not remember the past matches, I remember them as I was not only an adult when they occurred, I was there live for one of them. I guess I’m old. Regardless, there were only two other times that this match took place, making the upcoming showdown the third time that the WWE has placed two competitors in this structure.

Ahead of this weekend’s matchup, I’ve decided to review the last two matches that occurred inside of this structure. Not only that, I’m going to predict the winner of the upcoming Punjabi Prison Match that will take place at WWE Battleground!

Not sure what a Punjabi Prison match is? Well, WWE.com , discusses the rules, in case you don’t remember them. It’s a mix between a traditional cage match, a thunder dome cage match, and other cage structures. However, the façade is covered in bamboo looking elements, with spikes, presenting on cool visual for this epic fight. Now, onto the reviews!

The Undertaker defeated The Big Show in a Punjabi Prison Match
The Great American Bash 2006

The Great American Bash from 2006 was a pretty cool event, and while I didn’t cover it at the time due to PPV’s costing $49.99 each month, I saw it later. The ECW Champion at the time took on The Undertaker in the first ever Punjabi Prison Match. However, it wasn’t supposed to be The Big Show. The Great Khali was NOT medically cleared at the time, as he had elevated liver enzymes, and didn’t even come back to television for some time. The match was supposed to be Undertaker and Khali, since Khali had manhandled the Undertaker prior to this showdown.

The match itself was unique, with a lot of cool visuals on PPV, and of course The Undertaker still in his prime working the Big Show. Even though the two were big men at the time, there were some great hard-hitting shots, and some great drama in this 20-minute bout. The Undertaker would get the win, and further the feud between him and Khali. I know, odd as that sounds. Khali would eventually lose to the Undertaker in on great match later on Smackdown. However, Big Show got the “L” on this one.

Overall, the match is probably only a 3-star match. However, a 20-minute bout on a PPV that you don’t’ remember, isn’t half bad.

Batista defeated The Great Khali in a Punjabi Prison Match
No Mercy 2007

Ah, 2007, the year that I graduated college for the first time. This event was cost prohibited for me, unfortunately, but the show went on. Batista and The Great Khali were embroiled in a feud, with Batista claiming that he wasn’t afraid of the big man. The match was signed, and this match had a lot more memorable moments than the first Punjabi Prison match. In fact, if you remember, this match was only 15 minutes or so, but Batista was flying around the ring like a cruiserweight against Khali, and was earning his paycheck. Khali, even though he was lumbering, still put on a decent showing, but credit Batista for making this a memorable bout. Batista would get the win, but not without enduring some heavy blows from Khali. Personally, I don’t think Khali would’ve been able to match Batista’s athleticism in 2007, as the big man was starting to get some serious momentum in the WWE.

Overall, the match was about a 3-star match, simply because Khali was starting to get a little slow at this point.

Jinder Mahal vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship, Punjabi Prison Match)
WWE Battleground 2017

And now, we go to the future! What will go down between Jinder Mahal and Randy Orton? Well, I’m going to have to agree with others like Sportsbettingdime.com , and am going to say that Jinder Mahal is going to get the 1-up against Randy Orton. Why? Well, if you read my coverage of WWE Payback, I literally thanked Jinder Mahal for interfering in the House of Horrors match. Why? Because Randy Orton bores me, and he is literally phoning it in. Mahal may be a bit new, but he’s got a lot more mileage to go versus Orton at this point. Plus, The Singh brothers are going to no doubt going to find a way to help Mahal yet again, and even though Mahal may take a beating, he is going to get out of this match the winner. He may be beaten, and even bloody, but Mahal is going to survive, and Orton is going to get thrown into a feud with literally anyone else on Smackdown right now.

My prediction for the Punjabi Prison match? Jinder “The Maharaja” Mahal!

WWE Wrestlemania 30 Results and Minor Review

WWE had an incredible run, and their 30th wrestlemania was something that is definitely worth noting. I finally got to see it and it’s definitely something that people are talking about. I didn’t see the preshow but the USOS won their match.

No sign of that chump, quitter CM PUNK, so good riddance. That idiot can sit on his couch and get fat like a damn quitter.

The USOS defeated 4 other teams in the tag match that I didn’t see.

Daniel Bryan defeated Triple H

This match was good, Triple H really had a hard time in this one. Stephanie McMahon is hot, really hot. Hunter lost this one, but not without an incredible bout, I loved it. Bryan moves forward. Bret Hart had to be proud.

The Shield defeated Kane and the New Age Outlaws

This match was fast, and I don’t remember much about it. The Shield are ok, I guess.

Cesaro won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

This was a lot of fun, and seeing Cesaro body slam the crap out of Big Show was awesome. Cesaro is one of the best talents I’ve seen in a long time. I hope they do more with him. The European Uppercut he gave to Ziggler was an unstoppable force, I thought Ziggler was absolutely dead, I couldn’t believe it.

John Cena defeated Bray Wyatt

Cena was in top form here, and Wyatt is a perfect foe. HOWEVER, Wyatt should’ve won this match. He’s playing the RAVEN vibe. Remember when Raven took on Chris Benoit at Souled Out? Same thing here. Same thing, but Wyatt is in top form. Cena is odd now, I don’t know where his character is going.

Brock Lesnar defeated The Undertaker

DING DONG THE STREAK IS DEAD! The Undertaker’s overrated streak is finally over, good riddance. GOOD RIDDANCE! I fell asleep during this match.

Aj Lee won the divas match up

Daniel Bryan defeated Orton and Batista

This was a great match, I loved it. I loved the way it all went down, and Bryan is going to have a huge target on his back.

Overall a good wrestlemania, but not the greatest. I didn’t get that epic vibe here. I think that Triple H should’ve stopped Bryan. However, I get it. Taker’s streak is done, good riddance. Cm Punk showing up, would’ve been epic, but nope. That chump is long gone, good riddance too.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results and Review 4/1/2014

src wwe.com

Undertaker came out and did a speech, and it was boring. BORING. Undertaker is so overrated.

Brock Lesnar came out after Heyman talked and Lesnar got the better of Taker with an F5! I miss the FU. Anyways, Taker was left in the middle of the ring, and Raw started hot and heavy.

The Wyatt’s cut a promo, then Triple H and Stephanie came out. They shoot on this one, wow. Triple H and Stephanie called Fandango a flavor of the week etc.

The whole talking is too much for me. I’m bored with this random talking and set up. I really pine for the days of pure wrestling, match after match instead of long winded build up. Batista comes out and blah blah, right? Ugh.

Los Matadores and The Usos defeated The Real Americans and Rybaks

A well rounded match up here, with a good amount of wrestling and some great overall spots. It was fast paced and in the end, it was a classic switch that won the match. I liked it, although I’m not sure about the reasoning behind the match. Oh, they announced a new wrestlemania match for this Sunday.

Bray Wyatt defeated R Truth

Bray Wyatt is one of the most impressive characters and wrestlers in WWE. I haven’t seen anything like this in a long time, and it works very well for the future of the WWE and his match against Cena this weekend. I could see CENA going down and joining the Wyatt family. That would be impressive, and I think that this is a great one.

After the match, CENA showed up with a mask, and it was epic! This got a rise out of the crowd, and I was impressed, finally Cena did something worthwhile, and the crowd reacted huge. I love how it showed up, and I love how it forced the Wyatt’s to get scared a little. We’ll see what happens at Mania, this is an exciting turn of events.

Naomi defeated Aj Lee in a lumber jill match

The divas title is boring. This match was ok, but it bored me. I don’t know what to say, it was short, sweet, and the divas hating Aj works for me.

Kane vs. Roman Reigns

This match sucked. Roman Reigns and Kane fought a bit, but out came the New Age Outlaws and caused a riot. The Shield sucks now. The mania match may be interesting, we’ll see. This was dumb.

Piper’s Pit brokw out into a huge brawl. This was quite possibly the worst Piper’s Pit I’ve seen in a long time. Rey Mysterio’s still wrestling? Geez.

Randy Orton vs Batista No DQ Match Non Finish

This match was ok, but the best part of it all was Daniel Bryan showing up and beating the holy hell out of Triple H. Batista and Bryan’s back and forth was good, and definitely appealed to the crowd. Triple H flopping around was fun too. Since when does Triple H flop like this though? He was flopping around like Shawn Michaels.

Overall Raw was ok. The ending was lame. Daniel Bryan was alone in the ring and the crowd was chanting. I didn’t care for it, I don’t care about all of this. However, I will be watching Mania, as it’s a tradition 30 years in the making. If CM Punk shows up, he’ll save the show, otherwise I’m bored with the current product and it’s only been a couple of weeks.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results and Review 3/24/14

SRC wwe.com

What’s this? I’m back suckaaaasssss! That’s right, Sir Jorge is back in business thanks to a few gigs writing and a lot of time on social media busting balls. Before I get into the review, I want to say that CM PUNK SUCKS. The review is based on the HULU version of Raw, because I do not/cannot afford cable.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results and Review

This Monday, Stephanie came out to talk about last week’s actions against Daniel Bryan. Stephanie is marvelous at the role of trying to push the fans, and it’s grand. Orton came out to talk about how he’s going to win, which is what all the champions do. I hate Orton. He has the charisma of a paper plate. I hate these long intros, but you, you already knew that.

CM Punk quits because of Batista.

When Batista’s music hit, that’s all I could think about. Batista isn’t the best, but he didn’t quit like Punk did and walk away like a chump. His music hit and of course we got more discourse. A slow start to Raw, in my view. Stephanie slapped the hell out of Dave and basically called her a SLUT! I loved it.

Goodbye Stephanie! Great opening segment that led to a spear by Batista. I do not think Batista is the next champion. I don’t think Bryan is either. I’m thinking Punk returns to screw Bryan over. Orton retains then goes back to being backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowbooys.

Christian defeated Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus, and Alberto Del Rio in Fatal Four Way Match

Christian’s run has to be coming to an end. This match was a spot fest for the most part, and I don’t mind that. I love seeing as much wrestling as we can get, and not everything has to be a hard fought technical masterpiece ala Dean Malenko. This match sufficed to entertain, and Chrsistian’s win comes as a surprise to me. I thought Ziggler would win, especially after the top rope fame-asser…I forget what it’s called now, but who cares. Good match, solid ending, Christian gets a shot at the IC title, and will lose.

Triple H turned into the “GAME” and said he’d be champion, which I didn’t care for.

Hogan up next and his segment in which The Miz came out and tried to assert his dominance. Cheap pops abounded, and Hogan was welcomed with warm arms. Miz then got beat up by some random idiot and then got hit by Arnold and Hogan. A Real World joke was made, and I got bored, you did too, admit it. Where’s the wrestling at?

John Cena vs. Luke Harper NO Contest

John Cena really meshed well with Luke Harper. Harper is a dirty wrestler, and it shows, while Cena tried to mix in his signature moves. Cena does a good job staying in character, and his move set is offset by Luke’s constant changes and random brawling style. I like how Harper is a throw back of sorts, moving through wrestling moves and just brawling, which is just good. Harper is wild, and it shows with how he works with Cena. The lights went out and Cena was left tied to the ropes in a weird mask, and that was that. The crowd was insanely happy, I was confused, and the Wyatt family once again prove to be the best thing on WWE Raw right now.

Naomi defated Aj Lee by count out

AJ Lee was supposed to wrestle Naomi but got herself counted out fast. I don’t like the divas division, and this once again proves why. I hate it. Vickie came out to say that AJ Lee would wrestle Naomi, Cameron, Brie Bella, Nicki Bella, Natalya, Eva Marie, Emma, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Summer Ray, Rosa Mendes, Layla, and Tamina in the first ever Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship invitational.

The Shield defeated The Real Americans

This match was ok, nothing too spectacular. The Real Americans seem to push a great team, and The Shield is showing signs of weakness. I’m not sure what the gimmicks are here, but they are definitely pushing the beat downs to all new levels. I guess they are ok, but eh, I don’t really care for them. The Real Americans bore me, and it feels like The Shield is just second fiddle to the Wyatt Family. Entertaining match though, so I liked that. Apparently The Shield will wrestle the Corporate Outlaws and Kane at Wrestlemania…boring.

Heyman came out to talk about Lesnar and Undertaker….it bored me. Oh and Undertaker came out and did a little shuffle with lesnar, but who cares? Undertaker is overrated. The streak is lame, and I proved that long ago.

Overall Raw Rating: 3/5

The show was light on wrestling, heavy on talk. That's how things go in the WWE today, I presume. The build up to Wrestlemania is getting stronger, but with these throwaway matches, I'm not sure I'd invest heavily. Oh well.

WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Review

src wwe.com

Thanks 100% to wrestlingdesires.com, for letting me in on the chat and conversation as well as information from the Rumble. I couldn’t believe I won a contest and was able to enjoy the show.

The Royal Rumble 2014 is the first PPV that I’ve seen in a long time. I haven’t watched RAW or any other show since I don’t have cable and I am 100% broke.

New Age Outlaws defeated Rhodes Bros.

I saw the second half of this match and didn’t realize it was free on WWE.com until I was in a chat. Apparently the older guys get the rub in the tag division? They are entertaining enough, but I didn’t find the match all that compelling. I was just excited to see wrestling, so I guess that’s well enough. However, why feature two older teams? Cody isn’t that old, but still, these guys should allow for better, younger tag teams to get in there. I miss the days of good tag matches.

Bray Wyatt defeated Daniel Bryan

Bray Wyatt is one of the coolest wrestling characters I’ve seen in a long time, and the dude can work. He works really well and he plays on the persona and wrestling prowess all mixed into one. Daniel Bryan needs a villain of this caliber to get moving forward, and I loved the match. I thought it was a great way to start the PPV proper. I liked it.

Brock Lesnar defeated The Big Slow

I’m sick of the Big Slow, as I’ve been calling him for years now. Hopefully this beat down forces him into retirement. He’s old and his prime is behind him. Show, retire man, and just rest. Lesnar, well, he is a shadow of what he used to be.

Randy Orton defeated John Cena

This match was not very good. Orton is my least favorite WWE superstar and I’ve always said he sucked. He still does. I’m sorry, he’s awful. Cena is ok. Cena pushes the envelope a little here and there but I’ve already seen this match 900 times. I didn’t like it that much, and the ending was definitely a good point. The Wyatt family showed up, caused Cena the match, and that was that. I like where they may be going with this.

Batista Wins the Rumble

Cm Punk entering number one was awesome. I loved it. I liked how he lasted a long time in the match up, and how Kane took him out. Hopefully Punk gets a title shot for this. The rest of the match seemed telegraphed to me. Reigns in the end getting a lot of attention, and was more praised than Batista. Batista is thinner, faster, and looks really good. I thought I saw a little ring rust, but overall, he’s a good fit in the WWE right now. Keep him off the mic.

The Rumble overall was great. I loved it. However, I couldn’t help but feel that Batista winning is a misstep in the whole thing. The ending should’ve been changed to allow Reigns to win and get out of The Shield. Batista losing would be far better I think, especially if they played it like Bret Hart’s losses. The bitterness angle could work great, especially with the terrible crowd last night. They seemed to be out of it for the most part. Oh and the surprises sucked. Nash? El Torito? Really? Lame.

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/24/10 Results

Randy Orton defeated Batista via Forfeit
Sheamus defeated Mark Henry
Alicia Fox & Maryse defeated Gail Kim & Eve
R Truth defeated The Miz
Edge defeated John Cena and Edge in a triple threat match
The Hart Dynasty defeated Regal & Kozlov

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/24/10 Review

Batista opened the show, and was limping, had his ribs taped and his arm in a sling, with two referees helping him to the ring.

Bret Hart is the new Raw general manager, and he made a match with Batista (in a wheelchair) against Randy Orton. Batista said he’d quit if he was forced to wrestle, and he did. He went on a rant and quit.

I’m not sure where this angle is going, or if Batista is really quitting, but it’s interesting to note, that’s for sure. If Batista quits, fine, I just wish John Cena would quit.

Sheamus defeated Mark Henry

Mark Henry kept playing up his injured shoulder whenever it was convenient. Sheamus didn’t look too strong against the world’s strongest man, but eventually got the win, after Henry’s shoulder started acting up yet again.

Alicia Fox & Maryse defeated Gail Kim & Eve

Another boring divas match with little to no action. Sure there were moments, but nothing I’d like to elaborate, as it all sucked.

R Truth defeated The Miz

R Truth, after a commercial break, launched over the top rope and Miz did NOT catch him, landing on his head! That’s right folks, he landed on his HEAD! I’m surprised the match continued, he was obviously shaken, but he kept going, despite nearly killing himself on live television. The match was quite good, and surprising even. Truth is the new United States champion and the Miz was out cold. I liked this match, it was a rare gem to see a good championship match on Raw.

There was a segment where Jon Lovitz had a talent search, it was terrible; santino came out, some dude with a fake eye was out there, Ted Dibiase came out to buy the eye, it was just a convoluted mess. I’m so sick of the guest host thing on Raw.

The Hart Dynasty defeated Regal & Kozlov

This was just a waste of time. The Hart’s won an easy match up.

Post match, the team was attacked by the son’s of Rikishi and Jimmy Snuka’s daughter, yep, a new tag team.

I read the name online, but I have already forgotten them. I guess there’s a new tag team in town…but does anybody care?

Tomorrow, Michael Cole will demand an apology from Daniel Bryan…or Brian Danielson, whoever shows up.

Edge defeated John Cena and Edge in a triple threat match

This was dumb. It wasn’t a good match, it just seemed like a house show classic, except that Edge won and not Cena. I’m so sick of John Cena, I’m sick of Edge, and while Jericho can be classic, he wasn’t great here. The match wasn’t too long, and was formulaic as all triple threat matches are.

Post match, Sheamus came out and everyone stared each other down before Randy Orton came out, and that’s it. That’s your Raw for Monday night.

I am sick of WWE Raw, I’m sick of wrestling in general. I haven’t been so jaded about wrestling in quite a long time. Maybe it’s a combination of bad wrestling and the fact that I’m dead broke, have no job, and haven’t had a job interview in 8 months. I’ve never been so depressed and maybe it’s seeping through to watching wrestling.

Batista defeated Daniel Bryan
Morrison defeated Ted Dibiase Jr.
Mark Henry defeated Zack Ryder
The Hart Dynasty defeated William Regal & Kozlov

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/3/2010 Review

Batista opened the show and he was spot on accurate, he showed that he didn’t lose the Last Man Standing match, but was cheated out by Cena, with a roll of duct tape. I thought it was stupid, you thought it was stupid, and Batista was letting everyone have it.

Sheamus came out and got me laughing out loud when he said HAICH…Triple HAICH! He also said that he took out the “Son in Law” and that’s why he’s not getting a title shot.

Batista defeated Daniel Bryan

This match was supposed to be between Batista and Miz, but Miz backed out and changed the match to Daniel Bryan vs Batista. Bryan got on the Mic and said that he would make Batista tap.

The match went on and yes, Batista was about to tap out! I was marking out huge for it, but nope, he got pummeled into submission then got hit with the Batista Bomb in under 5 minutes. It was insane….Daniel Bryan is getting squashed like no other right now.

John Morrison defeated Ted Dibiase Jr.

Ted fought Morrison and quit, walking away and getting counted out, but he ended up coming back when Morrison wanted the match restarted and if Morssion lost he’d have to be Dibiase’s Virgil!

The match continued and it wasn’t half way bad, I liked it. The end was something semi-creative with Ted getting the Million Dollar Dream and Morrison reversing it ala Survivor’s Series 1996.

Dibiase is still looking for an assistant.

Chris Jericho was suppose to fight Cena, but instead, he ended up exchanging his match for a match with Wade Barrett.

John Cena defeated Wade Barrett

Barrett was in full control in this match, and was definitely impressive. Barrett had Chris Jericho in his corner, and this was actually quite good. A cocky Barrett had this thing in the bag until Cena hit the STF and that was the end, he beat the time, and now he gets to pick the stipulation against Batista at over the limit.

Cena got on the mic and was going to announce the stipulation, but out came Sheamus!

Sheamus beat up Cena before he could say another word, and man, Sheamus is getting the push of his life right now. Crap, Crap, I’m actually digging Sheamus.

Maryse defeated Nikki Bella

This match was fast, and boring. I hate the divas division right now.

Mark Henry defeated Zack Ryder

I didn’t even know Zack was still with the WWE, but apparently he was. He managed to put up a good fight against Henry, but it was Mark that got the last laugh and won. This match was relatively fast, and didn’t do much for me. I thought Ryder should’ve won to build him to a Ziggler style heel, but apparently he’s just another squash guy.

The Hart Dynasty defeated William Regal & Kozlov

This match was all Regal and Kozlov, and despite their dominating move sets, The Hart Dynasty managed to win this match, and continue winning.

Post match, The Miz jumped into the ring and tried to fight the Harts, but in came Jericho to also help, and the two beat up DH Smith, and formed an unlikely pairing.

The Cutting Edge happened at this point and Edge brought out Wayne Brady. It looked interesting enough, they were having words, nothing crazy, and out came Randy Orton. Wayne Brady went to shake Orton’s hand and got a SICK RKO! That was awesome!

Edge went on the mic and begged Randy Orton to reform Rated RKO, and it was actually somewhat interesting to note.

Edge kicked Orton, and Randy Orton took his time to get up, and didn't turn around, he just waited, and waited, and upon turning around and timed perfectly an RKO as EDGE was in mid-air for a spear!

You had to see the timing, it was quite good. Wow, Orton is getting way over and he hasn't cut a promo, i like this, i like this a lot.

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/26/10 Review

The Hart Dynasty defeated The Miz and The Big Show to win the World Tag Team Championships

Bret Hart and the Hart Dynasty made this match interesting to say the least. Miz and Big show tried cheating their way to a win but Bret was there to stop it each time. Meanwhile, the dynasty worked like a well oiled machine and finally got the tag titles with help from Bret Hart!

Post match, The Big show punched out The Miz.

Michelle McCool & Layla defeated Eve Torres & Maryse

This match sucked. I hated it, the divas division has the worst women’s wrestling I’ve ever seen.

Kelly Kelly was drafted to Smackdown.

Cm Punk defeated Evan Bourne

Punk and Bourne battled in a halfway decent match, but as Evan Bourne was climbing the ropes, a masked man came in and interrupted things and that allowed Punk to hit the GTS to win the match!

The Big Show was drafted to Smackdown

Sheamus cut a promo, and it was dumb, I can’t stand Sheamus.

Randy Orton interrupted and things were looking interesting indeed.

They two were about to argue, but out came John Cena to break them up.
I don’t know what happened here, because I was too tired to pay attention, but both Orton and Sheamus were about to kill each other, but couldn’t quite hit, and that made the crowd jump, that’s for sure.

Rey Mysterio, R Truth, Kane, Drew McIntyre , big Shad, Mark Henry, Santino, Ted Dibiase, Yoshi Tatsu,and MVP competed in a Battle Royal

This battle royal concept was to see who would get the next draft picks, and it wasn’t half bad. Santino was definitely the highlight of the show as he stepped up as a leader, at least in the ongoing. I wish I had Santino’s job, just get jobbed out and be funny occasionally, to get six figures!? I wish.

Despite some close tosses, Ted Dibiase and Santino won the match up for Raw.

Santino got dream street on him for his troubles, and this wasn’t half bad.

John Morrison was drafted to Raw
R Truth was drafted to Raw
Edge was drafted to Raw

Chris Jericho got on the mic and was called out Heath Slater before Christian showed.

Chris Jericho defeated Christian

This match was really good, and near ppv quality. Jericho nearly lost a few times, but was able to conquer Christian in this match up with an amazing Code Breaker. Christian came off the top rope and was hit with a huge Code Breaker, Jericho can go, I just don’t like how he’s booked sometimes.

Post match Heath Slater got a code breaker for his troubles.

Kofi Kingston was drafted to Smackdown

Jack Swagger defeated John Morrison

In a rematch from Smackdown, Jack Swagger fought John Morrison in a good overall match up. Morrison put up some good moves, but unfortunately, this time, Swagger beat Morrison, which is finally the way Swagger should be booked.

Christian was drafted to Smackdown

Hornswoggle defeated Dolph Ziggler via countout

This match was stupid. There’s no reason for this.

Chris Jericho was drafted to Raw

Batista defeated Sheamus and Randy Orton in a triple threat #1 contenders match

This match was quite good, and it had a lot of close calls. However, despite some great moves from both Orton and Sheamus, things went south. Edge ran in and speared Randy Orton for apparently no reason, and Batista was able to crawl over and get a hand on Orton to get the three count!

Batista is now the #1 contender to John Cena’s title…again…..

Overall not a bad show, but then again, not a great show either.

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/29/10 Review

The night opened up with John Cena & Batista talking in ring. Cena challenged Batista to a rematch for the WWE Title, tonight on Raw!

Batista said no, and then cheap shotted John Cena, before leaving.

Jack Swagger jumped in and beat the crap out of John Cena, and CASHED IN THE MONEY IN THE BANK!

Cena nearly got the STFU on Swagger and he ran away before the match could restart.

Christian defeated Ted Dibiase in a legend’s lumberjack match

The Lumberjacks were all 80’s wwe stars.

Christian and Ted put on an ok match up, nothing too crazy happened. The match had some great counters, I thought they were great, and then things broke down on the outside with the 80’s stars getting beat up. Christian won as there was a melee outside, with the Killswitch.

Post match, Ted Dibiase Jr pushed his father and walked away.

Triple H was talking and then was ready to say something about Shawn Michaels, to the point of tears, only to get hit from behind by Sheamus with a steel pipe, and that was that.

The divas had a match, and it was the same as last night, only it lasted like 2 seconds.

I don’t even know who was in it, and I don’t give a crap.

Oh man, highlights from Wrestlemania X ladder match was shown, amazing…Scott Hall used to be the man!

Bret Hart cut a promo, was interrupted by Miz & Big Show who then cut a heel promo on Bret.

Bret got backup from the Hart Dynasty, and then challenged the champions to a match right then and there.

The Hart Dynasty defeated The Big Show & Miz via counout

The Harts were actually getting a good shot at the champions in this match up. The Miz looked like he was going to lose this one, and Big Show eventually pulled him out of trouble, and they started to walk away from the match up, eventually just leaving. They got counted out on purpose.

John Cena & Randy Orton defeated Jack Swagger & Batista

Not the greatest match ever, not a terrible match either. I liked this match, I thought it had a few moments, and seeing Orton standing tall as a psuedo-face isn’t half bad.

Shawn Michaels gave his goodbyes, in ring and was in tears.

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/22/10 Review

Shawn Michaels started the show and cut a random promo. A promo hit highlighting HBK’s career, and he called out Undertaker. He was then interrupted by Pete Rose and he made a match and he will fight in a pinfall only match against Kane.

John Morrison defeated The Miz

The former tag champs put on a nice opening match on Raw. I didn’t hate this one, and thought the two actually worked somewhat harder than usual. Morrison took a sick risk with a top rope sunset flip, before hitting Starship Pain on Miz. Miz loses cleanly after two great moves by Morrison. This match was better than expected, and it was quite good. Expect the tag team championships not to go anywhere.

Kofi Kingston defeated Kozlov in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match

This wasn’t much of a match, it was ok at best. Kofi is a nice addition to mania.

Legacy & Sheamus defeated Randy Orton & Triple H

Sheamus did a number on the two former foes, but not before Orton looked like he was going to get the win. Sheamus hit his kick on Orton and easily pinned the Viper. Triple H and Orton barely worked as a team, and this match sucked.

Post match, Triple H threw out Sheamus from the ring.

Bret Hart gave a promo about beating McMahon, long drawn out, kind of boring at this point.

McMahon said that this Sunday, Hart is screwed.

HBK defeated Kane

Kane and HBk put on a halfway decent match, although, I wasn’t sure how much either man would give in this match. HBK had this match half-way done and the lights went out. Undertaker appeared and chokeslammed Michaels, ending the match? No.

Kane showed up and pinned HBK, but was able to kick out last second. Kane eventually lost to HBK after a super kick.

Michelle McCool, Maryse, & Layla defeated Gail Kim, Eve, and Beth Phoenix

Why do they even have these matches on television?

This was so lame. A very short, stupid match, the divas are stupid.

Batista came out and cut a heel promo. He’s been gold lately.

John Cena came out and was berated by a You Can’t Wrestle Chant.

This ending was stupid to me.

John Cena gave a sheepish good guy promo.

Batista and Cena fought each other and that was that.

Raw was ok at best.

WWE Monday Night Raw 2/22/10 Review

One night after The Elimination Chamber PPV, out comes the Raw show…hosted by Jewel and Some Idiot….I don’t remember his name.

Raw opened the night Chris Jericho walking down with the World Championship Belt. Chris Jericho was basically telegraphing Edge’s opponent for Wrestlemania. They set up Chris Jericho vs Edge at Wrestlemania for the world title!

John Cena got on the mic and was demanding a rematch right now. That prompted Vince McMahon to come out and talk to John Cena. McMahon wouldn’t budge and said that Sheamus also lost the title so he deserved a second shot. John Cena was placed in a match and if he won he’d wrestle Batista. However, if he lost, Sheamus would get a Wrestlemania shot. He has to wrestle Batista tonight and win if he wants a chance at Wrestlemania.

Maryse defeated Gail Kim for the WWE Divas Championship

These two actually put on a good overall match, at least for divas. Gail Kim was going for high flying moves, but it was Maryse that countered her and didn’t allow her to launch. Maryse managed to knockout Gail Kim after hitting her neck on the top rope, and then hit the French Kiss DDT and won the match. Maryse is now the divas champion.

Kofi Kingston, Yoshi Tatsu, and Evan Bourne defeated Randy Orton, Ted Dibiase, and Cody Rhodes

This match was your standard six man tag, with the same amount of action you’d come to expect from this type of match. Kofi and Orton had some great exchanges, and Orton seemed like he didn’t want to tag in at all.

Towards the end, Orton hit Rhodes with a huge DDT!

Then he started to walk away and Ted Dibiase went to talk to him, yelled, and got an RKO for his troubles.

Orton then walked away. Yoshi Tatsu and Evan Bourne took over, and a quick flight off the top rope, and this match was done. This was not half bad, and the breakdown of Legacy has finally come to fruition.
Shawn Michaels came out and talked about how wants a shot at Undertaker one more time and that last night he forced his way into getting a reaction from Taker.

Undertaker came out and confronted HBK and confirmed. Shawn Michaels will get a shot at the streak at Wrestlemania.

Christian defeated Carlito in a money in the bank qualifier

At this point of Raw they had a mechanical bull riding contest with the divas…this was such a stupid segment.

The best part was Big Show, he got on the mechanical bull! But he got pwned! It was hilarious.

Big Show & Miz defeated MVP & Mark Henry

The Big Show and Miz put up a good fight, and they really fought hard. MVP and Mark Henry did look solid in their loss, but they just didn’t have enough to topple the champions. I liked this match, and the tag team is actually quite good when you consider they haven’t been together too long. Big Show knocked out Mark Henry to win this match up for his team.

They will induct Wendy Richter into the Hall of Fame.

John Cena defeated Batista

Batista and Cena started this match in an odd fashion. John Cena was hitting fast and hard, but Batista kicked Cena square in the balls. That caused the referee to disqualify him and Cena won. I guess the two will meet at Wrestlemania. Batista then beat the crap out of Cena after the match was over.

Post match Batista continued to beat up John Cena, attempting to injure John Cena so that he wouldn’t even make it to Wrestlemania.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 2/19/10 Review

This night of Smackdown opened up with Chris Jericho and edge on the mic. The two are telegraphing their upcoming match, even though Jericho is not champion. Expect Edge to get his hands on the title at Mania against Jericho.

This segment ended with Jericho getting speared, and Edge looking strong.

Kane vs Drew McIntyre for the Intercontinental championship will take place this weekend at WWE The Elimination Chamber.

Kane defeated Dolph Ziggler

Ziggler looked like he was going to win this match up due to Drew McIntyre coming out to watch at the entrance. That almost gave Ziggler the win, but not tonight, Kane hit the chokeslam and this match was done. Ziggler has gone way down since his epic matches with Rey Mysterio last summer on ppv. Sadly, no one cares, I’m sure.

Cryme Tyme defeated Berreta and Croft

You know, I’m surprised that Cryme Tyme hasn’t been split up yet. They are about due for a losing streak that leads them to go solo…right?

This match was ok, Croft and Berreta suck. I don’t really like them that much, but they managed to put together a good match. I liked it, for what it was. Cryme Tyme should get the titles, even if they just steal them.

A lot of time was wasted and I almost forgot that Smackdown was on.

R Truth & John Morrison vs The Straightedge Society No Contest

This match started a little slow, but as all tag matches go, moved forward with time. A random explosion occurred during the match, and the announcers said it was something to do with The Undertaker. The match had Punk spending a lot of time to fight R Truth and things were going bad for Truth. Truth eventually got the hot tag and Morrison was on a roll until Punk isolated Morrison’s ankle and went to town. The ref stopped the match and I guess it was ruled a no contest? I don’t know.

Mysterio ran down to save Truth after the match but got caught with a huge clothesline by Punk. Punk beat the crap out of Mysterio for coming out of the back. Then he ordered Gallows to hold Mysterio while Punk went to the top rope and hit a huge knee drop on the face of Mysterio. Morrison might be out for the elimination chamber match up, hill HBK be the one to take his place? We’ll see.

The Hart Dynasty defeated Matt Hardy, The Great Khali & Maria

This match was another Smackdown six man tag…I’m so sick of these six man matches. This was your standard fare, nothing too exciting, Natalya got the win with a tornado clothesline, and that’s about all that happened. It was somewhat of a boring match and Maria is not a good wrestler, just another pretty face.

Edge vs Batista no contest

Batista was ready to walk out of this match, and right before he got to the backstage area, Edge called him back and the Animal Batista returned to the ring and locked up with Edge. Batista was hitting hard, but Edge quickly turned things around, and the match continued. The two exchanged hits and misses, and Edge hit a huge spear only to have The Undertaker show up and interfere in the match. Edge hit a huge chokeslam, and Undertaker was left standing over a fallen Edge.

Chris Jericho ran in and hit the Codebreaker on Edge.

An ok show, nothing too crazy to mention.

I think for once, I preferred IMPACT to WWE! This is rare.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 2/5/10 Review

The Show opened up with Chris Jericho talking about how he didn’t win the Royal Rumble. Jericho went backstage looking for Theodore Long but only ended up running into Edge. The two exchanged words and that was the end of that.

John Morrison defeated Kane & Drew McIntyre in a triple threat match

This match qualified Morrison into the elimination chamber, and it was not half bad. This match was entertaining although felt a little short. Kane looked to be the weakest link in this one as he was losing early on and McIntyre nearly pinned him after his finisher. Morrison hit Starship pain and this thing was done. Not a terrible match, but not a four star classic either.

R Truth defeated Mike Knox

Truth went right through Mike Knox with ease. He basically tore him apart, Knox barely got any offense in and Truth is going to the Elimination Chamber match without even breaking a sweat. Mike Knox has to be on his way out now.

Cm Punk defeated Batista via countout

Batista simply walked out, he didn’t even throw a punch. Punk advances to the elimination chamber.

Chris Jericho defeated Matt Hardy

This was a good short match with Chris Jericho going over Matt Hardy. I don’t remember much about it other than that fact that it was quite good in terms of reversals. I didn’t hate the match up at all, but I feel Hardy hasn’t been that relevant in a while.

Mickie James started to cut a promo and was interrupted by Beth Phoenix, but both of them were interrupted by none other than Vickie Guerrero, only to set up a new match, which I wasn’t really into.

Mickie James & Beth Phoenix defeated Layla & Michelle McCool

I’m not 100% sure where this match was going but it was fast and didn’t have a lot of action. Phoenix turned on Mickie James and Mickie still managed to win. No one cares about the divas.

Rey Mysterio defeated Dolph Ziggler

The final qualifying match for the elimination chamber really set up a good match in theory. I still say the best match of 2009 was Dolph Ziggler vs Rey Myterio for the Intercontinental championship, even though no one cares about that match. This match didn’t live up to that one, but it was still a good match for Smackdown. Ziggler is probably one of the more underated guys in the mid card, I really like his future if the WWE doesn’t misuse him at all. Mysterio looked to be getting stretched in this match, but was able to counter Zigglers overall style. Eventually Mysterio picked up the win and the chance to fight in the elimination chamber.

Edge started his show “The Cutting Edge” and out came Chris Jericho. The two went at it verbally and the two weren’t half bad together. Punk interrupted them then The Undertaker showed up…overall not a great ending.

Final Thoughts

This night was a mixed bag of different things. It was ok at best, and I wasn’t too into the show. Maybe I was just tired. Tired of being broke. On a personal note I went over draft on my account…man it sucks not to have a job.

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.

The goal for Sir Jorge’s WWE Blog is to get a DOT COM, but that might not happen, since that was the goal for this site since I started it in 2007.

Also, I’m going to try and be a little more in depth in my reviews, but we’ll see what happens.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review 1/1/09 Review

The show opened up with C.M Punk and Luke Gallows coming down the stage to a chorus of boo’s. C.M Punk is golden on the mic, he doesn’t seem to be trying hard at all, at least it doesn’t feel that way from my perspective. He started to make fun of people at ringside, and talked about resolutions. C.M Punk said and I loved the quote, “I Will Beat Everyone Up in this Arena if I have to!” that was the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Punk said that next week he’s going to save someone from the audience and go city by city and save people.

This is a great thing, if you think about it. Punk could be growing a stable, can you imagine that, a real stable in 2010? It’s like Raven’s Flock all over again! I hope it really does go that way. You might also notice that Punk dropped names like “Youth of Today” and “Minor Threat” two very big straighedge hardcore bands from the 80’s.

Matt Hardy defeated Cm Punk in a beat the clock match at 7:20

These two are no strangers to each other, and Hardy got a huge pop, which was definitely on time considering Punk just gave one of the best Heel promo’s I’ve heard in a long time.

Cm Punk took control of a good majority of this match. Punk has definitely been growing as a wrestler, as his timing is getting a lot more methodical, and dare I say technical. I used to hate seeing his matches, but now they seem to make a lot of sense when compared to Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, and Bret Hart. While he doesn’t focus on a leg, he does seem to follow up big moves with some rest holds to wear down his opponent. Hardy is no new comer though, and he waited for a mistake by punk, and turned this match around with his fast paced connective move set. It wasn’t enough though, as Punk delivered his GTS and Hardy was out for the three count.

After the match, Luke Gallows took to beating Hardy and delivered his finisher. Punk and Gallows then looked on victoriously, which was quite good. These two and possibly more in 2010 can prove to be the next Raven (ECW or WCW 97 era Raven).

Kane vs Dolph Ziggler had their time expire in their beat the clock match

When’s the last time Kane was relevant? He’s so slow in ring, although he’s been ramping it up a little, he’s just not that good anymore. I don’t like him, there I said.

Ziggler was like a man possessed in this match. He immediately lunged at Kane, and fought fast and hit Kane with everything he had, alongside quick pin attempts. Kane had a few shots in early on, but Ziggler was moving quickly and trying to win this thing in record time. Kane was definitely looking very weak in this match, as he was getting worked by a faster Ziggler, but despite all of Ziggler’s attempts to beat Kane, he couldn’t do it in the time allotted. Ziggler for not being a former champion, really made Kane look like small, and after the match was over he hit his finisher called “The Zig Zag”. This match was all Ziggler, I liked it, and hope Kane is on his way out this year.

They played a promo of Sheamus and John Cena from Monday Night Raw and they tried to make it epic, with color variations and different edits, but it didn’t look epic at all. It was tiring, and a stupid match with a stupid finish. The Sheamus and Cena feud is the worst fued idea in a long time, and I don’t care for it. In fact, WWE is going to have to do a lot to make me believe that those two are entertaining. I’ve seen Cena thrown into lights, off of limo’s and fight Eddie Guerrero in a street fight back stage, yet one stupid looking kick and it’s over? So lame.

The Great Khali defeated The Carolina Panther

The Carolina Panther is nothing more than a jobber with a Carolina Panther’s jersey. It was seriously the worst jobber idea I’ve seen in a long time. Khali came in, dropped the jobber, pinned him and won, that was it. Man, I wish I only had to work 5 minutes a week and get six figures.

Have you seen the trailers for the new Marine film? Ted Dibiase has the charisma of a wet blanket. Man, he sucks at acting or showcasing any sort of emotional response. He’s worst than Kennedy…remember the last time a wwe film flopped? Someone got fired. Will Dibiase get fired? Man, I hope so, if it means no more WWE straight to dvd sequels.

Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison via disqualification

This match had a lot of offense, both men didn’t want to let up. McIntyre was definitely looking less strong for once, and wasn’t running over Morrison in this match like he rolled over many of his opponents in the past. Morrison fired off some great offense and was fighting hard to get a foothold in this match up. McIntyre getting desperate pulled the turnbuckle off and this thing looked to be getting dangerous, but the ref was there to try and stop things. In the mix, Morrison got disqualified because of McIntyre and that led to the end of the match.

After the match, this feud started to get good. Morrison attacked McIntyre on his way back to the locker room and the two brawled, causing a ton of ref’s to come out and stop the two men from fighting. You gotta love when brawls break out, that’s just a classic moment in professional wrestling. Many feuds of the past started with brawls over the title after matches.

Mickie James defeated Beth Phoenix

First and foremost, I’m tired of podcasts and wrestling websites talking about how it’s so bad that they are calling Mickie James fat. She did gain a few pounds last year and was slowing down in ring. If a person/girl watching the wwe really has problems with weight and only goes further down the rabbit hole into bad eating and weight gain, maybe they have bigger problems. I have no problems calling Mickie James “Piggy James” or that’s she’s fat, it’s PRO WRESTLING not a role model for behavior and am sick of people talking about it like it’s something that is truly going to be a trigger for people that watch it.

My explanation of that above took longer than this match. Mickie James won after Michelle McCool accidentally kicked Beth Phoenix at ringside. Mickie Wins, and she still has a little tummy to lose, just saying.

Michelle McCool and Layla attacked after the match was over, and Beth Phoenix got involved, turning her from heel to face? Weird.

The divas division sucks. The post match was better than the actual match. The best part was that a fat Mickie James was laid out cold in the middle of the ring. Maybe this will be the death of the divas division.

Rey Mysterio defeated Chris Jericho in a beat the clock match with 1 second left 7:19

This match was actually interesting, as Jericho and Mysterio made quite a go for it. Jericho had a lot of control early on, but Mysterio turned things around a few times. Jericho reversed the 619 into the Walls of Jericho, and after that wasn’t enough, Mysterio went off the top rope only to get caught into the Code Breaker! I thought this match was all over, but nope, a small package roll up and three seconds later Rey Mysterio won this match.

While I thought the match was good, I have to ask something that no one is addressing. What good are finisher maneuvers? They never seem to pin anyone. Jericho not only hit Mysterio with a Codebreaker and the Walls of Jericho, they weren’t enough. Oh well.

Mysterio pins Jericho with only 1 second left in the timer.

Batista vs R Truth the time ran out before Batista could win the match

Mysterio was ringside for this match up. I know we’re in the world of good guys and bad guys, but the ending was awesome.

Batista was definitely in control throughout this match. Truth got some good hard shots in, but it seemed that Batista was just powerful and ready for it. Truth made it interesting though, but every time he got close to getting a good move in, Batista had a quick counter. Case in point, the sick sideslam out of a Truth’s momentum off the ropes.

Mysterio did what I thought was the only good way to end this thing. Rey Mysterio got involved at the last second and cost Batista the #1 contender match! Batista was about to close the deal and get a shot at Undertaker, but nope, Rey Mysterio showing that he wants the belt, pulled out the ref! The clock counted down and it was all said and done. A great finish, if you ask me…and no one did.

Mysterio seemed to be the #1 contender, but then out came Vickie Guerrero. She announced that Rey Mysterio must wrestle Batista next week and the winner will face the undertaker for the title at the Royal Rumble.

WWE Smackdown 12/11/09 Review

I’m still in high spirits, last night I celebrated my first official Hanukkah with my in-laws and after cleaning up playing with a top, I’m on a gold coin chocolate high. So it’s only fitting that we review and rant about none other than WWE Smackdown!

Batista is first to come out of the back, and his new shirt looks pretty cool. He cut a promo basically saying that he’s going to be dominant against Undertaker and Mysterio and not only that, he is only in it for the money. A good overall heel promo, with little to no major mistakes, and you can almost feel that he’s sincerely being a badass.

Cm Punk & Luke Gallows defeated R. Truth & Matt Hardy

The straightedge superstar and Luke Gallows finally got a shot at wrestling together as a team, and there was no signs of “festus” anywhere to be found. Matt Hardy and R Truth came out rapping and Hardy came out with a bag of Jeff Hardy dvd’s and Hardy was throwing them out to the crowd. Not just 1 or 2, he had a full gym bag full of dvd’s! The crowd was going nuts for Truth and Hardy and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone go over so well in a long time, seriously, Truth and Hardy were insanely over, at least for their introduction, better than anyone I’ve seen in a long time. Truth and Punk started the match, and Punk was reeling as we went to the commercial break. I thought for sure that when we came back from commercial break we would get a 180 with Punk getting the upper hand, and that wasn’t necessarily true. Not until a few minutes after the break as Gallows got tagged in. I like Gallows style now, a little better than I liked him as Festus. This match broke down into a melee at one point, but it was Hardy and Punk that were left as legal men after the dust settled. Gallows got the blind tag as Hardy delivered a Twist of Fate, and Gallows got in and hit the Gallows Pole, I think, and this match was done. Punk and Gallows win this one, in a pretty good tag team encounter.

One thing I can not stand is the backstage crap the WWE does. Kane walking? Kane and Knox talking about how they are monsters, no thanks.

Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Eric Escobar

Why in the world is Eric Escobar trying to be Razor Ramon? It makes no sense. He is a poor man’s Razor Ramon; or to quote my old coworker Cosby: Escobar is a Broke Ass Razor Ramon.

Chris Jericho and Escobar were putting on a one star match until Vickie Guerrero interrupted and demanded this match be a handicap match. Jericho and Show basically bulldozed Escobar, and one has to wonder when this broke ass Razor Ramon is going to get fired.

Drew McIntyre cut a promo…it bored me. But John Morrison came out dressed as Mel Gibson in Brave Heart, and broke the boredom. It was a great one, hilarious!

Kane defeated Mike Knox

Stryker makes a sick joke about David Carradine, and this match goes on. The two big men of the WWE go at it, in another slow moving slug fest. This match wasn’t that great at all. Kane wins, but after a lot of yawning on my end, that’s for sure.

Mickie James & Maria defeated Michelle McCool & Layla

Mickie James has gotten fat, admit it….alright, I’ll stop.

The main problem with the divas division is that the matches are so short, and when they are given time the divas suck at making good matches. This was a terrible match, if you could call it a match. Mickie James got the win for her team, but it wasn’t anything that could be quantified into a match, it was just a fast cluster of an attempt at entertainment. The divas division sucks, face it.

Batista defeated Rey Mysterio in a street fight

I remember when street fights had wrestlers coming out in jeans and t-shirts and taped fists. Now, apparently it means that you wrestle in all your regular wrestling gear. I liked the old days, when the Nasty Boys would come out with just street clothes, and would knock the crap out of people. Oh well, those days are long gone.

This match wasn’t half bad, but it wasn’t exactly the finest hour for either man. Mysterio eventually got out of Batista’s slow moving moves and eventually hit all his spots, and it looked like Batista was going to lose this one, just because he couldn’t keep up with the speed of Mysterio. However, Batista managed to escape the onslaught and eventually got his bearings hit Mysterio not only with his finishers but a huge chair shot to the head. Batista pinned Rey Mysterio after a massive head shot that was heard around the world, I’m sure.

Post match, The Undertaker appeared and bat down Batista with a flurry of punches and kicks.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/4/09 Review

The show started with CM Punk and Luke Gallows coming to the ring. I knew what was coming, but my eye hurt, so I didn’t write it down right away.

R. Truth defeated CM Punk via disqualification

CM Punk and R Truth could put a good match together, and prove to be good overall. However, this match wasn’t even close to being good at all. It was obviously headed towards a disqualification finish, and when Gallows interfered that’s exactly what we got. I like Punk with a bodyguard, and this mean streak keeps growing. I don’t dislike it, I just feel that we could use more clean finishes in wrestling. I mean, what is this? TNA? Geez.

And now ladies and gentleman, the big man slow match…what is this the 1980’s?

Kane defeated Mike Knox

I hate big man matches. I think it’s because I’ve seen them too many times. Sure they guys can move, but I’m not a fan of either right now. Kane has slowed down since his days as Isaac Yankem and Mike Knox hasn’t been relevant for a long time it seems. Kane essentially put away Mike Knox, and it’s time to fire him. Knox sucks now. Kane sucks too. This match was standard, but it ended with a good choke slam.

Jericho and Big Show backstage with Josh had the longest, and I do mean longest, promo I’ve seen in a long time. This thing was long, longer than anything in recent years. This was a main throwback to the 80’s, and if you saw it, you know what I’m talking about.

Mickie James defeated Natalya and Beth Phoenix

Best part about this triple threat match? A sick double clothesline between Phoenix and Natalya! Picture perfect, and just sick. These three are the best wrestlers in the divas division, and wow, they put on a few good shots in there. Mickie James edged out a victory after some time, and near falls. So now, Mickie James is the #1 contender.

Mickie James went nuts and started to fight McCool and Layla at ringside, and out of the back came Maria to help her out.

Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison

Drew finally gets a shot at some serious competition, and he didn’t disappoint, and neither did Morrison. Morrison didn’t just back down, he went right at Drew, and Drew was keeping up quite well, making some good reversals and catching up with Morrison’s offense. Seriously, Drew had Morrison well scouted, and was putting his boots to him better than some other contenders, including Ziggler! On the outside at one point, Drew pulled Morrison’s head into the bars underneath the ring and this caused the champion to lose the match. Drew pinned Morrison, and he’ll most likely get a shot at the title.

Escobar is channeling the “Razor Ramon” character, vest and all. Vickie Guerrero came out and cut a huge promo, and Escobar appears to be a fan favorite now? This is lame. Whatever, I’m too tired to write more about this b.s.

The Hart Dynasty defeated Escobar

Escobar had to wrestle both members of the Hart Dynasty, and early on he had this thing rolled up. He was showcasing some good offense, and clean moves, but Tyson Kidd wasn’t going to just sit down as he tagged in the big man DH Smith and Escobar was not doing well with the numbers game. The Hart Attack was hit and Escobar is done. Looks like Escobar is going to be wished his future endeavors.

Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Cryme Tyme

This match was fast, and while Jericho was obviously the weak link of the tag team champions, Cryme Tyme was getting some good offense in. However, Shad walked into a huge right hand and was knocked out. Big Show and Jericho win with somewhat ease.

The Undertaker was coming down to the ring, but Batista interrupted him with a chair and just attacked with no mercy. He was trying to soften up taker for their match at TLC.

And that was the end of the show. Smackdown was ok at best.
