WWE Superstars 10/14/10 Review

Kelly Kelly defeated Layla

This match was ok at best. It wasn't a terrible match, and it wasn't a complete mess, but it wasn't great either. Kelly Kelly has definitely improved with her timing, and Layla is entertaining as ever. Natalya's dress was arousal inducing, for sure, but the match was ok. Lots of safe offense, nothing too crazy, and watchable. Kelly Kelly got the win with a roll up and that's that.

The New Big Show Movie looks funny.

Curt Hawkins defeated Trent Barreta

This match was your standard jobbers match, if you ask me (which you didn't), and it wasn't half bad. Curt Hawkins has a little "it" factor, and his music isn't half bad. He seems like the second coming of Edge and I think he can really be something, especially with that excellent "heat seeking elbow" which is the best elbow I've seen in a while. I'm not sure if he'll get anything in the form of main event push in the near future, but I liked the match enough.

Darren Young defeated Primo

I can't believe that Darren Young is doing so well. This match was back and forth and wasn't half bad. Darren Young was really pushing forward and he has a lot of great timing, and Primo's no slouch either. I loved the ending too, Darren Young has a nice full-nelson face plant finisher which was definitely a positive thing. Darren Young could end up being one of the better rookies, especially if they keep giving him opportunities like this. I'll even stop calling him the BLack John Cena if he keeps it up.

Melina defeated Alicia Fox

This match was ok, nothing too insane here. Both women botched moves, and both women had some highlights, but it wasn't anything too amazing. Watch the show in HD really made the diva's look nasty, especially with a LOT of make up on. Melina took some nice bumps, and her roll up bridge was impressive. I didn't hate this match, which is a plus, and of course Melina wins.

Overall, not a terrible night of wrestling. I liked the Darren Young match, and can see him as a viable competitor for WWE. I hope they give him something more than just bland "Black John Cena" stuff, but if not, oh well. As for the rest of the show? It was ok at best.

If you haven't already done so, I highly suggest ordering the Chris Jericho dvd set, it's seriously good.

WWE Monday Night Raw 10/11/10 Review

John Cena was out and talking about crap, and out came The Miz to argue and ask Cena to join team Raw. That prompted Wade Barrett to come out and mouthed off.

Ugh...the general manager chimed in and the whole crowd was going "what", which was insane.

R Truth defeated Ted Dibiase Jr.

This match wasn't half bad. These two have wrestled before and their timing isn't half bad. Mid-match out came Goldust with the Million Dollar belt and Dibiase got distracted, costing him the match. I like what they are doing with Goldust and Dibiase, making a belt that's not even a WWE title, mean something, and elevating the program to something worth watching. I liked it.

John Morrison defeated Tyson Kidd

Tyson Kidd loses this one, and John Morrison continued to impress. All hee needed was a beard and to stop talking on the mic! This match was quite good, fast, and it's once again the end of The Hart Dynasty.

In the backstage area the new rookies had nothing to say to the rest of Nexus.

Santino defeated Zack Ryder

Santino won this match, with the whole crowd going nuts for him. Zack Ryder is a joke character, and if he were to get fired he could join "Shore" in TNA, which would be nice.

RKO defeated Justin Gabriel

Despite the fact that Justin Gabriel is given one heck of a match with Orton, and Randy Orton couldn't just simply RKO his way out of this match, he won. This match was given some major time, considering, and it wasn't half bad. Gabriel put on one heck of a match, but I knew and everyone else knew that there was no way he'd win, because after a huge RKO this thing was over, much to the Seattle Crowd's delight. The match wasn't half bad.

Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan

One of the better matches I've seen on Raw or anywhere. Daniel Bryan and Sheamus put on a major match up, and it was seriously hard. Bryan hit Sheamus as hard as he possibly could on some of the shots to Sheamus, and Sheamus took all the punishment and manage to win this one. I liked how Bryan didn't just get pwned this week, but rather, got a lot of shots against the former Champion. Sheamus wins and is on team raw...which I don't care about.

Cm Punk defeated Evan Bourne

This match was stupid. It was short and it just killed Evan Bourne's character. Punk is back and he's insane, and is on team raw? I guess. Who cares...I don't.

The Miz defeated John Cena

This match was your standard Cena match, with one exception, it was NO DQ and it had MIZ getting help from Alex Riely, Michael McGulicutty and Husky Harris! I absolutely loved the ending, and loved how Cena got his comeupins, which is long over due. The Miz won and is captain of Raw.

Post match, The two guys attacked Cena, and out came Barrett and he nearly knocked out Wade Barrett! He stopped himself, and the two met in the center of the ring, only to hear the general manager's email tone.

It was ok...nothing too crazy. I liked it, and miss living in Seattle. I still have no job, and no hope...sadly. This was late..I know.

WWE Monday Night Raw 8/16/10 Review

The night after Summerslam had many expecting great things, and I for one wasn't. I'm sick of SUPER CENA always winning, and Summerslam sucked, despite throwing up a lot of great action.

Here are my thoughts on WWE RAW from last night....oh boy...

Wade Barrett and Nexus came out and Wade cut a promo. He said that there was going to be hell to pay. He was in mid-sentence when John Cena came out! Yep. Cena came out, and he didn't even look tired, despite taking a beating last night. I'm SOOOO SICK OF JOHN CENA! You don't even know...I'm like Bobby Heenan vs. Hulk Hogan, I hate the guy's character. Cena went through each Nexus star and broke them down with comedy...and I don't care.

The fake general manager emailed or whatever...who cares.

Nexus will fight in a series of matches against Team WWE guys...I'm so tired of this feud, they totally killed it for me last night with the SUPER CENA win...I'm so sick of this crap.

Wade said that if anyone loses, they'll get kicked out of Nexus.

Whatever.

Wade Barrett defeated Chris Jericho

This was a nice back and forth match. It had some good action, with some good power moves here and there, Jericho's speed getting the better of Wade and eventually the Walls of Jericho. Jericho couldn't put away the veteran with ease, and it looked as though Wade would be out first in his group. As Jericho went for the Codebreaker, Wade caught him in mid air and dropped Jericho on his head and won! It was a nice finish to a half-way decent match. I'm a believer, Wade Barrett is a good wrestler and I could see him going far outside of the Nexus group. Jericho loses again.

Some random comedians were in ring, including the Mac guy.

The Hart Dynasty was out in the ring and the General Manager emailed. The titles are now called the WWE Tag Team Championships, instead of two sets of belts. Bret Hart came out and introduced the team with the new titles, and they are quite nice. New Tag Team Titles! Wow.

Too bad there's no tag teams.

Michael Tarver defeated Daniel Bryan

This match was ok, and if it weren't for Michael Cole's comments, I wouldn't care. This match was forgettable, until The Miz came down to interfere and cost Bryan the match up.

Post match, Bryan lunged at The Miz and started fighting him. However, The Miz and Alex Riley attacked him and then hit the Skull Crushing Finale on the briefcase. Bryan was out cold...out cold. The Miz vs Bryan feud will be amazing and I hope that Daniel Bryan will get the U.S. Title. I'm sick of Michael Cole, I hope someone punches him in the face.

Justin Gabriel was scheduled to face Bret Hart. The general manager said that he didn't like Hart, and that Gabriel will fight a new opponent....none other than....Randy Orton

Justin Gabriel defeated Randy Orton via Count Out

Gabriel fought an ok match, but this match was all Orton towards the finish, which saw Sheamus run in and distract him. Orton chased him and after getting counted out hit an RKO on Gabriel then teed off on Sheamus with a steel chair. Orton went nuts on Sheamus, and that was that.

David Otunga & SKip Sheffield defeated John Morrison & R Truth

This was a relatively easy match up for Nexus. Otunga and Sheffield won this one with ease. I didn't hate it, and it was interesting to see nexus work well as a team. Not a long match, but it served its purpose.

Alicia Fox, Maryse, and Who cares! defeated Gail Kim, Melina, Eve Torres

The divas match...it sucked. I hate the divas. You should too.

When will women wrestlers actually get some good matches? I hate the WWE divas these days. Jon Lovitz was ringside.

Heath Slater defeated Edge via countout

This was stupid. Slater won via countout. Edge and Heath didn't really do much in ring, and Edge barely broke a sweat. Whatever...Slater wins, and Edge speared him after the match. What an easy night for the wwe guys.

John Cena defeated Darren "Black John Cena" Young

I don't know how the world didn't blow up, and why we are still alive. I don't understand what is going on here, but Black John Cena and John Cena Versino 1 fought each other. I knew what was going to happen. Super Cena can't lose. He's never going to lose and if he does, people will forget. Remember when John Cena told Batista that he couldn't beat him? Well, Cena lost to Batista a few years ago at Summerslam. I guess they forgot. This match was back and forth at several different points, and Cena might've lost, had he not been John Cena. Cena eventually got the STFU on Black Cena and won via submission...and I don't care.

Post match, the Nexus crew ran down to the ring and were ready to attack. They let Cena leave, and they attacked Black John Cena. Darren Young is out of Nexus. Then there was only 6.

What will Young Do? Who cares?

Nexus survives?

WHO CARES? I don't care about this story line.

WOW...CENA WINS AGAIN?

I can't get behind Cena, I'm not an 8 year old. Hogan at least had awesome bad guys to face, cena? He just has no one left to beat, let him retire.

I'm so tired of this trash. Raw sucked.

I hate Nexus now I hate Cena, and man....wrestling was good for a few weeks and now it's back in the trash can.

WWE Money In The Bank 2010 Review

Kane won the Smackdown Money In The Bank Ladder Match

The first match was the Smackdown version of the Money In The Bank Ladder match and the stand out at first was none other than Big Show. Big Show was slapping everyone, and mopping up everyone, and even throwing a ladder at Kane, who took a mean bump with it. All of the competitors jumped Big Show then attacked one another. It was interesting to see that no one had the clear advantage, and each man got his own set of moves in before the final man was headed to the top of the ladder. There were some sick bumps from Christian, Kane, Drew McIntyre, and even Kofi Kingston in this one. Fat Ass Matt Hardy, my pick for the win, also put on some good moments, and the crowd rewarded him for his efforts. In fact, this first match really got the crowd going, and when Fat Ass Matt Hardy nearly had the briefcase the uproar was happening. This match was interesting, and it didn't seem like anyone had this thing won as time went on, it was truly up for grabs, and I for one wasn't sure who'd win necessarily. I mean, at one point it looked like Dashing Cody Rhodes or Kofi had this thing easily won.

Big Show didn't catch Christian at one point, and looked like a Botchamania classic. My major complaint with the match was that the spots were rushed at certain points, and the match looked sloppy with so many ladders in the ring. What made the Wrestlemania X ladder match so great was that there wasn't THAT many ladders. The ring and ringside area were flooded with Ladders and therefore this thing got crowded fast. There were also some misjudgments in height and length, and therefore some injuries looked inevitable. Hardy at one point took a shoulder to the pole and made the loudest thud I've heard for a spot of that nature. Kane, Kane was definitely a monster in this match and he immediately went to work. He even messed up the announce tables at a certain point in this match up. Kofi at one point did the Boom Drop on Drew McIntyre through the Spanish Announce table!

Best spot of the match was Ziggler falling off of a ladder into the arm of Big Show and in one fluid motion getting nearly thrown through the ring with an amazing choke slam. It was insane, the fluidity of the move was just amazing and Ziggler looked completely dead afterwards. Overall, the Big Show was the most impressive. I know, I'm waffling, but man, this match was just insane at certain points. Cody Rhodes at one point flew half way across the ring with a picture perfect drop kick off the top rope, hitting Kofi off a ladder. This thing was perfect, and then he knocked himself silly by hitting “Cross Rhodes” on Kofi into a ladder. I'm telling ya folks, this thing had some highlights! The guys buried Big show underneath all the ladders and only his Golden large ladder was left in ring, and this match started to get even more interesting with all the superstars fighting at the golden ladder. Kane chokeslammed EVERYONE and looked poised to get this one. Ziggler ran through the ropes and latched onto Kane on top of the large ladder and couldn't get the case, and then was chokeslammed on a pile of ladders with Big Show underneath them! After some last minute spots, KANE chokeslammed Drew McIntyre off the top of the ladder and won the match up. That's right, the Big Slow Machine wins the first ladder match...whatever....dude sucks.

Alicia Fox defeated Eve

This match sucked. No one cares about these women, and the match was stupid. Alicia won and retained her belt.

The Hart Dynasty defeated The USOS

Another cookie cutter match up, with no major pay off. This match took the life out of the crowd at first, and eventually warmed up. There wasn't anything great to mention here. There were a few good moments, but overall the match just felt the same as other matches these guys have already had in the past. Having the USOS lose is stupid, now who's going to feud with the Hart Dynasty? Who cares. The tag division sucks in WWE, and TNA isn't all that better...ugh...I miss the 80's.

Rey Mysterio defeated Jack Swagger

I feel like I've seen this match before, and it wasn't all that fascinating. I still maintain my position, stating that the best match of recent history with Rey Mysterio was his match up against Dolph Ziggler last year. But aside from my harping on the two greats, this match had a few good moments. The biggest impact came from Swagger getting ddt'd from the top rope and nearly getting knocked out, only to get the 619 and the Springboard pinfall win....well....springboard into the Ankle Lock submission! Rey Mysterio, after being booked like a little kid compared to the larger and more agile Jack Swagger, wins again. I wouldn't have called this match for Mysterio, but he's being booked like the “Houdini” of World Champions, and I guess that's a positive thing? I don't know. I've seen Mysterio wrestle a lot of matches and his latest reign just sucks, and this win sucks. Mysterio won with a Huricanrana pinfall, and that was that. Screw this match, and no offense to the 619 or Lucha Libre fans, but screw Rey Mysterio and his latest title reign. Swagger's build comes crashing down as Mysterio wins again.

Minutes after Rey Mysterio won via pinfall, KANE cashed in his MONEY IN THE BANK CONTRACT! The Crowd went nuts, and I for once in my life, marked out huge for Kane. I just marked out like a school girl for the big dull machine.

Kane defeated Rey Mysterio for the World Championship

Mysterio's leg was looking bad, and Kane immediately took to work against Mysterio. He nearly crippled Mysterio with a huge chokeslam and this was just a matter of time. Mysterio got locked into a Tombstone Piledriver and KANE wins the title after cashing in the MONEY IN THE BANK briefcase! That's right, KANE is the new World Champion! Rey Mysterio was left dead in ring, and KANE is the NEW CHAMPION!

Layla defeated Kelly Kelly

This match was terrible. Kelly Kelly just couldn't get this one won. Layla and Michelle McCool continued to dominate with Michelle constantly interfering. Kelly Kelly did manage a lot of offense, but it wasn't nearly enough to win the match. McCool took some hits, and she even took a nasty fall to the outside before Layla reversed a botched sunset flip to retain the women's championship. This match sucked, I hated this crap, this was stupid. The divas suck, face it.

The Miz won the Raw Money In The Bank Ladder Match

The Raw version of the ladder match didn't start off that hot. If nothing else, the main players were Mark Henry and Evan Bourne, at least early on. Evan Bourne was just fast, he was great early on and I knew something big was going to happen with him and a huge bump, but it wasn't happening early on, he had this thing sewn up, at least for a short time. Randy Orton was probably the favorite with the fans, with a lot of RKO chants, and some choice RKO signs. All men were taking bumps, but the surprise here for me was Mark Henry. Mark Henry was quite over with the fans, which was weird, it only took some 10 years? Oh and did you know that Maryse was in playboy? Yep. I saw the pics...steamy! Oh well. Maryse at one point climbed the ladder! That's right, she climbed the ladder! Morrison grabbed her and told her to leave, and Dibiase nearly got the case, which was a nice little moment, but I would have much rather seen Morrison do a Samoan Drop on Maryse! Sensational Sherri would've taken the bump! That's for sure. Mark Henry on the outside took Edge's, Jericho's and Morrison's finisher after he gave Evan Bourne his World's Strong Slam, so he and Bourne were out of it at the turning point of this match up.

This match didn't have nearly as many hard hitting spots, although they did manage a few. It seemed like these were a little more reserved at times in this match, and maybe that was to protect from injury. Orton hit an RKO on Morrison and Orton was immediately hit with a Shooting Star press! Jericho was tied up, and Evan Bourne reached the briefcase! He couldn't get the hook off and Jericho eventually recovered! No sign of Nexus by the way. Orton had this thing wrapped up after taking out Jericho and Edge through an RKO and a toss through some ladders. He had this thing sewn up but out ran Miz and Orton went flying, and it looked like Miz had this thing won! MIZ didn't play around and actually unhooked this thing and WON! THE MIZ WON THE RAW LADDER MATCH! THE MIZ! THE MIZ THE MIZ!

Sheamus defeated John Cena in a steel cage match

This match was stupid. First of all this match was a slow moving match up. The cage as a weapon came into play, but without any blood, this thing just didn't mean a whole lot to me. Ok, blood aside, this match was your standard John Cena match, and having a ref counting a three count in the ring was just plain dumb. I hate cage matches with a ref inside the ring, it is just not worth the effort. This match went on quite a while with a great deal of offense from both men. I am telling ya, this match was slow moving, and featured a lot of breaks and slow moves.

The Nexus ran down with bolt cutters and the ref ran down and stole it from them. The Nexus then threatened the ringside ref to give them the keys, but he threw them across the ringside area to the crowd! While they argued outside Sheamus and Cena fought, and there was a ref bump. The STFU was locked in and Sheamus was tapping like a drunk man, but it didn't matter. The Nexus was contained outside and Cena was frustrated, locked inside the cage with Nexus safely at bay. This took an odd turn, and I wasn't sure where it was going to go. Cena then was trying to climb the cage but Justin Gabriel climbed to fight him and threw him into the ring! Cena kept trying to escape but the Nexus kept fighting! Meanwhile, Sheamus was trying to climb out at the other side, and Sheamus won the match by getting down first and then running threw the crowd out of the ring.

The match sucked, it just sucked. Sure, Nexus cost Cena the match, but who cares?!? Sheamus ran away so Miz couldn't cash in the briefcase. Cena then looked on at Black John Cena and decided it was time to beat him up. Yep, I'm not sure how the Universe didn't collapse on itself, but John Cena beat up Black John Cena and Michael Tarver. John Cena then threw the ring steps at Michael Tarver.

The show then ended.

This night of wrestling started off hot, but ended terribly. The Raw ladder match sucked compared to the Smackdown one, and the rest of the night was just a blurry mess. This ppv was NOT that great, but at least the first match had so much impact, that it was worthwhile.

The Week In Wrestling 7/10/10

The week is done, and I've decided to start writing up commentary for the “week in wrestling, featuring news, comments, and discussion.

First up, let's talk about some wrestling news.

Wrestling News

Dragon Gate USA ran a ppv last night and I didn't see it, but am interested in seeing the independent wrestling promotion's attempt at competing with the bigger wrestling companies. I might be able to sneak a peak courtesy of a few friends I have online, but it's doubtful.

Triple H is slated to be out for a few months after getting surgery on a torn tendon in his upper arm. Needless to say, I'm NOT missing Triple H and his tendency to hold down the roster. Hopefully he's enjoying his family and time away from the ring.

Eric Bischoff said in an interview this week that the ball is basically in Daniel Bryan's court, in regards to joining the TNA roster. He also said that Paul Heyman and Dixie have talked about possibly working together, but it's not likely. All in all, Daniel Bryan's impact in just a few weeks is much better and bigger than a majority of the planned angles in WWE and it's refreshing to see interest in a smaller wrestler, from all the major companies.

Ricky Steamboat got beat down and is in the hospital, really. This is a sad news post, but at least he made it, or is recovering well. From what I know, which isn't much, the injury was NOT a result of the beat down he took from Nexus.

The WWE Ricky Steamboat 3-Disc DVD set is out, and if you purchase it from this link here, the site gets 4% of the sale. So if you want to support the site, and want to get the dvd go for it, I'd appreciate it greatly, as I'm barely scraping by right now.





TNA VICTORY ROAD 2010

This weekend, TNA will present Victory Road 2010 live on PPV. I can't afford the ppv, but am going to be watching and reviewing it. The review will be delayed, but if I can find a stream for it, I'd take advantage. It's most likely not going to happen for me live, as I can't drop $40 on a ppv right now. If you stream it, right on, I'll be giving my commentary for the card.

Speaking of cards, here's the TNA Victory Road 2010 Full PPV Card as announced so far.

TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Mr. Anderson vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Abyss vs. (c) Rob Van Dam

CHALLENGE MATCH
Ric Flair vs. Jay Lethal

CONTENDERS BATTLE
#10 Kurt Angle VS #8 "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero

STEEL CAGE MATCH
Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez

ULTIMATE X MATCH FOR THE X CHAMPIONSHIP
(Win by either Submission or claiming the Ultimate X)
Kendrick vs. (c) Douglas Williams

TNA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Beer Money vs. The Motor City Machineguns

TNA KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP
Angelina Love vs. (c) Madison Rayne

AJ Styles & Kazarian vs. To Be Announced

Brother Ray vs. Jesse Neal vs. Brother Devon

It actually looks like a solid card, and one that you might not want to miss. I'm not sure why Kurt Angle and the Pope weren't featured on Impact, considering they have a match on sunday. I also am not sure why Samoa Joe was kidnapped. No sign of Erik Young, Suicide, and others. TNA will have to put on a 4 star show this weekend, considering their last ppv outing completely sucked.

Where's Taylor Wild and Sarita?

Where's Orlando Jordan?

Where's Big Rob Terry and his Global Championship Belt?

Where's 1/3 of the X-Division wrestlers?

TNA is completely lopsided. How many consecutive weeks did they feature all these entities and yet they have none of them on their last show before the ppv? What a waste of an Impact, that's for sure.

Comments and Responses

Shane said in regadrs to Monday Night Raw

Judging by comments dropped in the show I see the Nexus getting a strong heel leader (mainly, Jericho or Edge as the main candidates) and eventually it boiling down to a feud between Wade Barret and the new leader. Maybe for a title. Was Wade Barret stripped of his title match opportunity? Poor choice for the WWE, a Money In The Bank-type surprise championship from Wade Barret could strengthen the NXT and give the whole locker room reason to hate them.

Could Jericho or Edge be the leader of the Nexus? Maybe. I don't know if the WWE will in fact go down that road, considering that the two aren't necessarily showing any signs of it. A feud between Jericho and Barrett could be nice, and maybe able to be thrown together. Wade does not have a title shot, but if he can muscle or cheat his way into the Money In the Bank main event and win the title, that'd be epic. I wouldn't put the notion past the WWE to have Nexus attack the Money in the Bank Raw match and get Wade to claim the briefcase and cash it in on the champion in the same night. Now that'd be good overall, but highly doubtful.

Jupiterhill said in regards to Monday Night Raw

The more I saw the three factions going at it, I was thinking it will boil down to a WWE version of War Games. I know they have been toying with it for a while, and if not I see it culminating in a Survivor Series style match.

I'm not sure why they did it, but with R-Truth out of the MITB match, I could see Otunga or Barret take his spot. I mean they are under contract now so why don't they wrestle.

I'm not sure if anybody noticed, but Darren Young never tapped out of Cena's STF. I know it wouldn't have mattered, but the heel ALWAYS taps when locked into submission when it doesn't matter. Are they making Darren Young the black John Cena? Wait I mean... well having Cena like powers?

Overall I wasn't real impressed and I wished I saved the DVR space for ROH instead. By the way, I might be interested in writing reports for Superstars and NXT, and possibly Ring of Honor. I'll have to see how my internet works. I might try this week, unless you already have someone for it.

War Games in WWE? I sure hope so. Two rings, two major teams trying to go at it. My favorite War Games moment and one that is eerily similar to what's going on now is when Sting had an evil clone and quit the match, only to return and beat up the whole New World Order, at the time, and then never come back as the same.

War Games with the reunited Four Horseman fighting the New World Order was also a classic moment in the invasion angle of the late 90's. Could the invasion angle actually work out to a double cage main event? I would probably bet on a Hell in the Cell match, before War Games. As for the invasion, remember that 10 man tag where Austin turned? I'd expect that more than anything else.

R-Truth getting injured by Miz is odd. I heard on various podcasts that he could be legit injured or he failed the Wellness Policy. Who will replace him? I'm not sure, I really don't know. I just hope they don't throw in random people like they did when Shawn Michaels was injured at No Way Out 98, and the WWE gave us Savio Vega in replacement for Michaels.

Darren Young did not tap, and that was interesting. I'm not sure how the world didn't end, considering that Black John Cena and John Cena were fighting. I don't know if that even matters, but if the WWE is smart, they'll let Young say something smug about that.

Thank you overall for your comments and interest in the guest blogger position, but I'm taking the reigns on that one, despite some serious contenders. I am trying to figure out the ROH schedule and I'll add reviews for that and more, if I get more video sources on a regular basis.

Super Cena and WCW Uncensored

Coming this Monday night, the Nexus 7 Will face off against John Cena in a handicap match. I have my reservations about this match, and it reminds me too much of the Macho Man & Hogan vs the complete Dungeon of Doom and Ric Flair match that WCW did at Uncensored 1996.

Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage defeated Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Meng, The Barbarian, Lex Luger, Kevin Sullivan, Z-Gangsta and The Ultimate Solution in a tri-level cage match.

Can Super John Cena fight off 7 guys? Well, Hogan and Savage took out 8 guys in a cage match, so anything is possible right?

I am sick of John Cena winning all the time and I'm sick of his gimmick. His actions on Monday were NOT PG and I'm just getting tired of WWE's super hero. Sure, I marked out huge for Hogan in the 80's, but that was the 80's and I was a little kid, I'm much older now, I need something more than a super hero in professional wrestling. A heel, rapping, John Cena would fit perfectly here and he's advanced to a place where he can possibly get over as a major heel and antihero.

That's the end of this week.

That's the end of this week folks, hopefully you enjoyed some wrestling and what not. Check out the TNA ppv if you can, let me know your comments after I review it. Ever week I'll be doing this weekend report after the Smackdown Review so keep tuned. If you haven't already check out the RSS FEED by clicking HERE.

Lastly, please support the site by visiting AMAZON.COM and bookmarking it. It helps the site and I can start moving towards my own dot com and start working on a podcast. I'll also try and hook you guys up with free stuff along the way too.

WWE Monday Night Raw 7/5/10 Review

The show began with the Nexus group in the ring, and were waiting for the mysterious general manager to show up and say something bad is going down. Your standard promo was cut here, with a variety of different things spoken, and stuff. Apparently, Nexus is now having fun with their roles, according to Skip Sheffield. I'm already tired of this group, and wish there were a more dominant figure above them, like Kevin Sullivan and the dungeon of doom.

An email came in and said that none of the Nexus could have a title shot for any WWE title. Then the email said that the Nexus and WWE Guys could beat each other up if need be. That prompted John Cena's music to hit and he came out looking for a fight, or at least another lame promo.

Cena didn't cut a long promo, and out came the Raw roster to fight Nexus, but was then jumped by the Heels of Raw. This was weird, but I guess it works. The roster was split completely between “good guys” and “bad guys”, so it's interesting to see that there's a fracture in the people that want to fight Nexus. I smell 10 man tag...just sayin.

Sheamus got on the mic, Orton got on the mic, and blah blah blah “we don't like nexus” “we don't care about etc...” I don't care. Random talking, we need more fighting! This segment was odd.

Another email came in and called for Barrett and Cena to call a truce. I wish they would just reveal the general manager already, I don't care for the emails any longer.

Ted Dibiase defeated John Morrison

This match was relatively short, and predictable. Morrison had some nice offense, but his character is getting stale. Morrison gets a thumb to the eye after Maryse distracts him, and Dibiase gets the win with Dream Street, and Dibiase has a new valet. I don't mind this, and it's nice to see a “manager” role in the WWE, like the old days.

Santino & Kozlov defeated William Regal & The Great Khali

This was a comedy match, to say the least. Sure there were some moments where wrestling prevailed, especially between William Regal and Kozlov as well as Santino, if you can call it wrestling. The match was fast though, and after Kozlov picked up the win, this thing just seemed like another comedic angle.

Post match, Great Khali beat up Regal.

Sheamus got into Arn Anderson's grill. It was funny to see Arn trying to convince Sheamus to fight Nexus. This sounds a lot like the promo that Arn Anderson cut right before he teamed up with Ric Flair to give Curt Hennig his spot as enforcer of the Four Horseman in 1996 (WCW). Remember? Hennig turned on Flair and Horseman at War Games and smashed Flairs head into a steel cage door! That also saw “evil sting” turn the real sting to “The Crow” Sting. Nexus and New World Order sounds all the same now.

The Miz vs R Truth (no contest)

This match wasn't much of a match. R Truth got his shoulder messed up, the ref stopped the match, and this thing was over. The Miz wins, or doesn't win, no one cares.

The Cutting Edge had Jericho in ring, and both Edge and Jericho started fighting, but it was Jericho that seemed to be getting the upper hand when he put on the Walls of Jericho on Edge. However, out ran Evan Bourne who embarrassed Edge and Jericho in a quick round about way. It was much like Rey Mysterio used to do.

An email was sent in, and the general manager seemed to be throwing in a little “Hell Yeah!” into there, which could only mean that STONE COLD is the general manager! Wouldn't that be something else? I guess it might work, but does Stone Cold Steve Austin want anything to do with the WWE on a regular schedule? I don't know.

Randy Orton & Evan Bourne defeated Chris Jericho & Edge

This match was interesting to note, it had a good amount of action. I liked the dynamic that Orton and Bourne had, and you got to give credit to Jericho for mouthing off against Edge at every moment. Edge did a good amount of work in this match with Bourne, and Bourne took a lot of abuse throughout the match. Orton was light, and didn't risk getting further injured. Bourne went up to the top rope and hit Airbourne (The shooting star press) and pinned Jericho yet again! This was actually good, once the rest holds were done with, and really did provide a good amount of entertainment.

Post match, Bourne was hit with a huge RKO, which got a lot of fan reaction. Orton hitting the RKO was quite good.

Nexus talked to Orton. Orton told Otunga and the rest to get out of his face.

Alicia Fox defeated Eve

The divas had a terrible looking match. I'm so sick of the divas...I wish WWE would get back to serious women's wrestling...instead of this bs.

Raw finally ended with no match, just another segment. Wade Barrett cut a promo and Cena was supposed to form a truce, but didn't want to shake Wade's hand. Cena dropped his mic, then looked poised to shake the big man's hand. He did so, then put Barrett into an Attitude Adjustment, but before he can hit it, the Nexus clan ran in and beat up Cena. Evan Bourne ran out and he got beat down too, then more superstars came running down, only to get beat up.

Mark Henry's music hit and he brought all the Raw guys to help Cenca out. Nexus battled the rest of the Raw roster and got beat down. This stunk of WCW 2000 and the stench remains. I'm so sick of seeing the same sort of canned wrestling product, and word on the street is that TNA is going to be running a similar angle with the ECW originals on their show. I'm getting so tired of this crap.

An email was sent in at the end of the show and the General Manager said that, he wanted peace, and if nothing stopped there would be consequences...blah blah....

Cena then put Darren Young in the STFU. White Cena put Black Cena in the STFU and looked very painful for once!

John Cena will now face Nexus in a handicap match next week. Cena then went back to the attack on Darrren Young. Young basically got killed in ring by Cena, it was a serious beat down...a serious beat down.

John Cena threw, I kid you not, he threw the steps at Darren Young. That's not PG, is it? THAT's NOT PG! He THREW THE STEPS, he didn't just hit Young with them, he THREW THE STEPS! Darren Young is dead. I haven't seen a beat down this big in a long time, Young just became a “made man”...then again, did Maven become a made man when Undertaker killed him for eliminating him out of the Royal Rumble?

If they do have a 7 on 1 handicap match next week and John Cena wins by a miracle, it will be the end of Nexus, and the end of the angle. Super Cena beating 7 men?

Remember the last time this happened?

Randy Savage and Macho Man defeated 8 guys in three tiered cage at Superbrawl. Could it happen again, only in WWE? Yes. Yes it can.
