WWE Main Event 1/3/13 Review

Wade Barrett continued to look strong even though he lost the final match up in this gauntlet. It looks as though he will still feud with Kofi Kingston for the intercontinental championship, which is a good thing. I'd like to see more variety in the WWE so maybe this will help. The gauntlet was fine, but it was the first match that stole the show.

Great Khali is not known for great matches, he's known for being slow and large. However, int this one he looked like a million bucks and it wasn't all Cesaro it was the both of them putting together a decent match. The ending was fabulous, and if ou missed it, well you definitely missed something special. Cesaro lifted Khali for his finisher and boom, once again retains the title.

Now that's wrestling folks.

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/9/09 Results and Review Triple H Gets Arrested

I admit, I was really tired during this show. However, I tried to suck it up for you 2 readers out there that still come to the site. I know that no one is buying anything and no one is reading this, but I like it, so I keep writing.

The show opened up with Shawn Michaels in the ring talking about The Undertaker. The Undertaker shows up after a promo package of highlights, and HBK starts randomly talking about how cool he is, whatever. The Undertaker said he would lay HBK’s dream to rest, and random crap. This is boring to me. The two should just beat each other to hell like they did at In Your House Ground Zero, where the whole locker room had to come out and stop them from killing each other.

Oh yeah, THE WWE HAS FIRED KIZARNY!!! I just remembered that, Kizarn sucked, but man, WWE really lost money on that dude with lots of promo’s leading up to his debut.

JBL defeated C.M. Punk to win the Intercontinental Championship

Alright, our first match on the card was an Intercontinental battle between JBL and C.M. Punk. Wow, this match look good, and JBL was trying everything to work well with Punk. I hate how the WWE goes from Punk standing over a fallen JBL at the commercial break to being in the losers seat after the commercials are over. It’s a little too predictable at this point, which sours the match up a little. This is no fault of the competitors, but I wish the WWE would do something about that. The Tornado ddt was good, Punk nearly had JBL out after that move. Punk nearly knocked out JBL with a knee to the head and a a running bulldog, but JBL hit the Clothesline from Hell on C.M. Punk, nearly out of nowhere, and it was all over! JBL is the new Intercontinental Champion!

Randy Orton’s house was shown and Michael Cole interviewed him. This was a stupid segment and a waste of time. I was really expecting Triple H to show up, just like Stone Cold showed up at Brian Pillman’s house, but alas, it didn’t happen. I’m telling you, this was the worst thing I’ve seen on Raw in a long time.

Maryse defeated Melina

This was a terrible match up. A seriously terrible match; but afterwards there was an all out brawl with divas from Smackdown and Raw tearing it up in the ring, which was kind of cool, I guess.

There was a contract signing on Raw , and John Cena was added to the title match between Big Show and Edge. Things got weird when John Cena said that he loved Vickie Guerrero. It was really weird, and I tuned out a little bit. This is stupid and no one was laughing, at least I wasn’t. This is the weirdest twist, and left me stunned. I’m sickened that they would go through this story line. This is stupid, seriously stupid.

Then after all that weirdness, Cena showed a tape of Big Show kissing Vickie Guerrero. Weird. This is the worst segment of the night, what a terrible way to advance story lines.

Kofi Kingston defeated Chris Jericho in a money in the bank qualifying match

It’s good to see that Kofi Kingston is still employed. I was having my doubts after he got beat down at No Way Out. Jericho and Kingston put together an interesting match up, with a few spots, considering that there wasn’t a whole lot of time for this match up to develop. Chris Jericho had this match sewn up with Kofi Kingston in the Walls of Jericho and ready to tap out. Ric Flair showed up at the ramp and distracted Jericho, Kingston hit him with a huge roundhouse kick and it was over.

Once again we go to Randy Orton’s house…lame.

Koko B. Ware will be inducated into the WWE Hall of Fame. That was a good pick, that guy had some hops and one of the best drop kicks in the industry.

Rey Mysterio, Finlay, Christian defeated Miz & Morrison, and Kane

This match seemed very rushed, but it was ok. Christian is spot on, and I’m glad he’s back in the WWE. I hope they don’t just fire him sooner than later, that’s for sure. Overall, not a terrible match up, with some good overall spots; but this still seemed rushed and just slapped together to get more talent in on the night. Whatever the case is, the good guys win, and that’s that.

Rhodes & Dibiase defeated Triple H via forfeit

Triple H, didn’t show up for his match. So automatically the young guns get a paycheck for just being in the arena. Randy Orton was mad, via satellite.

WHAT THE HECK!

Triple H showed up at Randy Orton’s house with a sledgehammer, knocks down the door, then bum rushes the inside!!! This is just like the Stone Cold feud, and this was terrible. Screw you wwe, geez! Police show up as Randy Orton is on his front lawn getting beat up. Triple H gets arrested, what a load of crap.

This the worst ending to Raw since 1997, seriously, this is a load of crap, and a stupid way to put this feud over, stupid, stupid stupid. WWE has sunk to a new low.

WWE Raw 11/10/08 Review and Results

We are live in the UK this time around and we start the show with recaps from the 3 hour raw! I admit, I was a little more tired than usual and was looking forward to falling asleep during Raw, but we’ll see how it all went down.

Stephanie McMahon interrupted the show in the middle of a Batista speech. She basically stated that Batista isn’t invoking crap! She looks fat, I’m just saying.

William Regal defeated Santino for the Intercontinental Championship

Regal, in his home town, was getting quite the ovation by the crowd, but Santino was getting a lot of chants as well. This match is the only major thing I was excited for going into Raw and it started off really well. Regal really pushed the envelope, controlling Santino with so many moves, and shocking the Intercontinental champion with a running leg kick that sound horrendous! Santino gets knocked out cold, and loses cleanly. That’s right, William Regal defeated Santino in his home town to become the Intercontinental Champion! So long Honka-meter huh? Short squash match, but it was awesome.

Mike Knox defeated D-Lo Brown

Mike Knox was out there and basically killed D-Lo Brown. That’s right, D-Lo brown jobbed terribly to Mike Knox. Knox looked great, and was fast in his delivery, but come on! Did we really have to get D-Lo Brown squashed? Lame. This wasn’t even a match, just a throwaway waste of time.

Rey Mysterio defeated Kane in a no dq match

Rey Mysterio was all over Kane in this one. He was dishing out everything he had in his move set, and it was looking like Kane was going to lose in a squash match, however Kane grabbed control after the break and threw Rey Mysterio into the barricade head first! Mysterio then was in complete control of the Big Red Machine. Kane using the empty turnbuckle reminded me of last night’s Kevin Nash match in TNA. Kane has lost his luster, he’s not as monstrous as he once was. Rey is good, but there’s no way he should get this much offense in on Kane, he’s just too small, I’m sorry. This match started to get too long for me, with little or no major offense towards the end. Kane just seemed to be taking too much time setting up the next move to really get me interested. Mysterio delivered a good drop toe hold onto Kane into the exposed turnbuckle and landed the worst finisher, and won the match! Kane once again loses to Rey Mysterio!

Batista defeated Cody Rhodes

Batista defeated Cody Rhodes easily. Rhodes didn’t get a whole lot of offense in, and I’m beginning to think that Rhodes has the easiest job in the WWE. He just goes out there ever 3 or 4 weeks and gets beat up. This match was a throwaway match up at best, and is stupid. I thought Orton was going to fight Batista tonight, but they never really got their match going, and Rhodes took the punishment for Orton on this night. Batista won with a Batista Bomb and this was done before you could even get into it. Rhodes is on his way out, that’s the only thing I can think of.

Beth Phoenix defeated Mickie James

Mickey James put up one heck of a fight in this title shot, but Phoenix pulled out a nice victory. Santino interfered and James got thrown head first into the Ring post by Phoenix who then rolled her up for the win; a relatively short match up, but a good one none the less. I liked it overall, even if it wasn’t very long. These two are probably the best female wrestlers in WWE, and wish that all the divas took an example from these two. They aren’t as good as the TNA knockouts, but they are good none the less.

Chris Jericho defeated Shawn Michaels in a Last Man Standing Match

We get the final piece to the puzzle with this last man standing match! Jericho looked to be losing this match easily, with Shawn Michaels getting in most of the offense early on, however it was short lived as Jericho delivered the liontamer on top of a car! This match started tog et somewhat brutal, but didn’t involve a lot of plunder at all, it was just stiff shots and street fight style, with the two getting up nearly at the 10 counts. Shawn Michaels introduced a ladder into the match and Jericho immediately took advantage, making this really interesting. A great spot was definitely Michaels climbing to the top of a ladder, and jumping into an elbow drop onto Jericho through the announce table! I thought this was it, but then JBL interfered, or at least he tried. Jericho knocks out Michael’s with the world title belt to the head and it was all over, but not before he delivered a super kick to Chris Jericho! Jericho managed to get up though, but it was still over, Michaels couldn’t answer the ten count, and Jericho once again wins and this is the end of the Michaels Jericho feud.

WWE Smackdown 11/7/08 Results and Review

Here we go, another Smackdown and this one comes a week after Chavo Guerrero got buried into a casket! Awesome!

MVP opens up the show with his in ring promo show, and he claims he hasn’t been focused lately and that’s why he’s losing. MVP’s segment was interrupted by The Great Khali and it is time for the Khali Kiss Cam. I hate the Khali kiss cam, just for the record. MVP is no chump and he proves it by running back to the ring and attacking Khali, and then runs away, like a good heel! MVP is the man! He needs to win for a change though. Word on the street is that Helms is going to beat him sooner than later.

Shelton Benjamin defeated R-Truth

This was a long time coming, Truth has been feuding with Shelton Benjamin for a while, and he has been getting over with the fans. So now he’s getting the title shot! I must admit I was going “What’s Up”! “What’s Up”! I thought this was going to be easy for Truth to win, but it turned out that Benjamin was going to be a lot harder to put away then he expected. Truth was putting the boots to Benjamin and he even threw out a suicide plancha to the floor, and then he went up stairs for a Missile Dropkick! This was awesome! Truth really put on a show for once, and I was marking out like a little kid. But then Benjamin hit The Paydirt and R-Truth loses cleanly to Shelton Benjamin! I couldn’t believe it, R-Truth had his best match in a long time, I loved it.

Ezekiel Jackson defeated Jimmy Wang Yang

Another squash match on WWE programming. What a waste of time. I don’t want to see this crap. Why is Jimmy Wang Yang the new Funaki? He is just getting squashed all the time. I hate this crap. Why not have a Cruiserweight division wwe? Why not? I wanted to just give up here. This match was lame, Jackson killed Yang, that’s all.

The Miz & John Morrison defeated Jeff Hardy & Triple H via Disqualification

Jeff Hardy started off this match trying to prove that he’s still got it, but he was getting worked by Morrison and Miz. Triple H watched on, as Hardy was just getting severely worked, and Triple H just didn’t jump in to save him much. Hardy didn’t tag Triple H in in this match up and he was continually trying to get this win by himself. This could be because he wants another title shot and he told Vickie Guerrero earlier in the show that he was going to proof to her that he’s still Extreme. This of course made for some great double teaming opportunities from Miz & Morrison and no major offense or help from Triple H. Hardy got desperate after not being able to win this on his own and he took out Morrison and Miz with a Steel Chair!

Great Khali defeated MVP

MVP got thrown into this match, and he really needed to win it. I was rooting for him, because he hasn't won a match in a Long time and if he doesn't win sometime soon, he might as well just go to TNA, as it is the custom with people that get fired or leave the wwe. Not like there's any other options for American pro-wrestlers. This isn't 1998 ya know. Khali killed MVP, even though MVP was trying to work over Khali's leg and take the big man down. It was a sad day for MVP as once again he loses and once again Gregory Helms makes fun of him. They are bound to square off sooner than later.

Brie Bella defeated Victoria

Woa, too much make up! Way TOO MUCH MAKEUP! THe divas had so much make up that their faces no longer looked real, and this is sad. This match sucked, I'm sorry, this stupid piece of crap match featured two divas that no one cares about. I've always said that Victoria can wrestle, but she's never involved in good matches anymore. If WWE would just take a look at the Knockouts division, they could feature some compelling wrestling! This match seemed like a standard divas match, even if Victoria did throw up some good moves. It was relatively short and the fans weren't really into it, and neither was I.

The Bella twins finally showed up, and all that under the ring stuff was finally revealed. Lame.

Kozlov defeated The Underkaker via dq

This match was really back and forth and I liked it. I liked where it was going, but then Hardy runs down and interferes, forcing me to get tired and go to sleep. Hardy then begs for a no rules match with The Undertaker next week. Smackdown is getting really really interesting. Kozlov wins again, and we are still going to see who's fighting Triple H at Survivor Series.

Raw Results and Review 8/26/2008 Idiot Edition

I spent a long time reviewing this weeks raw and for whatever reasons I didn't email it to myself to post. So instead of the usual review, I'm writing this thing upside down and backwards in hopes of giving you guys a review and results in one post. I'll make sure to get the ECW review back in line rather than this have review of sorts.

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk defeated JBL in a non-title match

CM Punk is awesome in this match. It appeared that the WWE heard critiques about the formulaic structure that was plaguing Punks matches lately. He took charge early and really got a lot of offense in this time around, but of course, JBL wasn't going to let Punk off the hook too easily. JBL had this thing sewed up on several occasions, but after not being able to get Punk down enough to win, Punk hit the GTS out of nowhere and the crowd erupted! Punk won again, and the Crowd really went nuts for the win. Overall a good match up.

Kelly Kelly defeated WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix

Beth Phoenix got hit hard in the face and had a bloody nose for most of the match up. This was a really standard divas match up, and really wasn't anything worth mentioning too much about. Kelly got a lot of offense in, but overall it just wasn't fluid. Hopefully Gail Kim comes in and offers some more wrestling.

Primo Colon defeated "Charlito"

Charlie Haas came out dressed as Carlito. Is Carlito fired? I'm not sure what was up with this one, but this was not that great. Primo looks good, and is a smaller wrestler. He did some high flying moves, and was really not half bad. However, this match wasn't anything worth mentioning. Charlie Haas is on his way out again, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was fired sooner than later.

World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase defeated Jerry "The King" Lawler & "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan

Horrible train wreck of a match up. The tag champions win this one, even though Jerry Lawler gave it a good try.

Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella defeated Kofi Kingston

Santino escapes this one with an assist from Beth Phoenix. Kingston had this one won, but somehow Santino escapes with the title and a good defense. This match wasn't all that great, but it was cool to see an Intercontinental title match on raw for a change.

Batista defeated Kane by disqualification

This was a boring match. This was a basic big guy match up with random power moves and a dq ending. The show went off the air fast, and I wasn't sure what was going on.

Overall an ok Raw. I'm sorry that this review isn't as long as usual. I somehow lost my original review in the process of transferring it from one computer to another. So I had to redo it fast. I know, it sucks, but hey, it happens right? I might post the original if I can find it, and it might be different, but we'll see what happens.

Raw 8/18/2008 Results and Review Y2J Night After

Chris Jericho In Ring Segment:

I haven’t seen someone have so much heat with the crowd for a non-wrestling event, than Chris Jericho on this program. Everyone hates Chris Jericho right now, and his speech didn’t help matters much, because he came out and gave the world’s most scummy speech about how he wasn’t sorry at all and that HBK was at fault for his wife getting hit in the face at Summerslam. Y2J is seriously the most hated man in professional wrestling right now, and it’s finally getting good. We need more heels to do this sort of thing; no not hit girls, but to generate heat from non-wrestling things. It could create an incredible amount of drama for the ppv’s and get buyrates, and ratings for sure. If you recall, this is how Andre the Giant turned heel (interview segment turn on Hogan), and so did guys like Savage and others. It was in an interview segment or a non wrestling event that made them great heels. Of course, the wrestling had something to do with it as well, but their actions outside of the ring created a monster heel scenario that couldn’t be ignored. This Chris Jericho push is definitely a huge thing. It’s about time we had a stronger heel than just petty interview time in ring and random empty threats. Y2J’s promo is spectacular, and for a non wrestling event, he really does a great job selling what I am calling “the punch heard round the world”!

Batista defeated Paul Burchill

Way to go WWE! You squashed your up and coming talent! I had initial thoughts that maybe Burchill would get in some great offense and put on a show since Batista was suppose to be selling his so called “injured” leg, but instead he just beat the crap out of Paul Burchill for no apparent reason! Seriously, what is the WWE thinking here? Paul was getting a mini-feud and even a shot at the Intercontinental Championship, but now? Now he’s getting squashed in matches against Batista, one night after Batista fought Cena in what King Jerry Lawler says was the best match ever! This is just the wrong move, in my opinion, and I don’t understand why the WWE doesn’t believe in their up and coming talent at all. It’s about time the WWE wakes up. This was just a squash match, and this is the norm for WWE these days.

Mike Adamle Introduces Primo Colon:

Mike Adamle introduces Carlito’s brother, Primo Colon, only to run off and try to talk to Cena. Cena then runs into Batista and tells him the better man won, but that it was just last night. Primo Colon? What happened to Carlito? No wonder the WWE fired 10 or so guys, they needed money to pay these new guys coming in…unless Primo is just another squash guy like the Smackdown show last week. Whatever the case is, we have a new talent, which will most likely get squashed sooner than later. I’m tired of seeing new guys, no name guys, get introduced and then get passed up for other talent. I don’t know if you noticed, but this backstage segment illustrates the WWE as a whole. New guys come in, and then get passed by for older, more established talent. Primo Colon could get fired before he even gets started…wouldn’t that be a kicker?

Kelly Kelly & Mickie James defeated Jillian & Katie Burchill

Again with the tag matches from the WWE. It always seems to be that the divas get a tag team match on Raw and usually I’m impressed. However, I feel that I’m on overload from the WWE divas. They aren’t that good at wrestling, and seeing Mickie James in tag matches all the time is getting stale for me. Yes, this match was better than most of the divas matches, but it just doesn’t seem to go anywhere. These matches are entertaining on a certain level, but they never really forward any storyline, or even have any meaning. I don’t mean dramatic storytelling, I mean wrestling wise. Why are these particular women wrestling? Who’s getting the title shot next? Who cares? That’s the thing, no one cares, and it shows. Kelly Kelly was definitely taking some major shots, and I almost feel bad for her. She doesn’t fall correctly, and it shows as well. But then again, that’s why she gets paid the big bucks, and I sit at a computer wishing I was getting tossed around by the women of WWE; the match though, good stuff, standard divas match. Mickie James gets the hot tag, clears the ring for the most part, Kelly helps out afterwards, only to get the eventual win with the big ddt for the win. Mickie James gets the pin, and Mickie and Kelly win the match.

JBL defeated Jamie Noble

Jamie Noble had a moment of offense only to get JBL squashing Noble. JBL is massive compared to Noble. I say this a lot about Noble, and that’s: Why Isn’t Noble fired? Noble as a professional can’t possibly be enjoying his jobber status in the WWE. He could be such a valuable entity to other companies, including TNA and ROH. I know that they don’t pay as much, but they probably won’t squash him this bad every week on national television. His weight is really getting the best of him, and without the WWE getting into a cruiserweight division any time soon, these types of matches are only going to serve to prove that the WWE has no idea what they are doing in regards to what the fans want. However, I digress, because at Summerslam and at Raw the WWE sold out the arenas. So maybe they know what the WWE fans want. Just not what this wwe fan wants, but that doesn’t matter. Noble got assaulted bad in this match, he was on the receiving end of three Clotheslines from Hell and the Ref stopped the match. The announcers didn’t even sound concerned over Noble’s condition. JBL was made to look concerned over losing to CM Punk.

Mike Adamle Announcement:

Mike Adamle announces a Championship Scramble for Unforgiven’s main event. Not sure what that necessarily means, other than it’s a gimmick match and most likely Punk will lose the title and then win it later on in the match up.

John Cena defeated Priceless

What is the reasoning behind this move? I was wondering what the WWE was thinking in this one. Since Batista got let off the hook for tonight, I was under the impression that John Cena too would get a squash match up with some random WWE guy. Instead, John Cena is thrown to the tag team champions! What the heck? This can not have a positive result, can it? Cryme Tyme did run in and steal the WWE Tag Title Belts, infuriating Dibiase and Rhodes.

As far as the match up, this was a standard wrestling match for the most part. John Cena was getting beat down for the majority of the match up. Cena was not getting an easy win, and this is surprising to me somehow, but after thinking about it a bit more, it makes sense. If John Cena is to be the #1 face in the company, he has to get beat down a lot! Remember Hulk Hogan, yeah I’m going back to the Hogan era of sorts; Hogan had a lot of matches where he was getting beat down, whether by monster heels or by the tag team champions. He would recover and win the match with his patented leg drop. Is John Cena now the new Hulk Hogan? I was sure thinking that in this match, as the tag champions were making Cena look like a jobber with their constant punishment! This whole thing turned around, just like the classic Hulkamania VHS tapes that I used to collect, and the five knuckle shuffle was followed by the STFU and Cena comes through again in the clutch and wins the match.

I am always against singles wrestlers beating an established tag team. But I am even more against seeing one person lose to the tag team champions! Had I booked this, I would have the tag team champions win, even by DQ if possible, because I believe that a good tag team can defeat one guy, no matter what. The WWE could say that John Cena was tired from Summerslam and couldn’t fend off two different opponents, but instead, WWE chooses to bury the tag division by having them lose a handicap match!

CM Punk Interview:

CM Punk calls out Chris Jericho, and talks about how he’s going to lay down the law in a Chicago style match up.

D-Lo Brown defeated Santino via DQ

D-Lo brown already gets an Intercontinental championship match? Sure, why not? The WWE is throwing all caution to the wind and just giving out shots at the title left and right. At least we didn’t get a Kofi Kingston rematch clause match one night after losing it. That is usually the norm for the WWE and their title situation. I guess Kofi will have to settle for getting a shot later on down the road. Santino shows he has no wrestling skills, but I like this. I think it’s a great move for him. D-Lo controls the match up, and nearly beats him. Beth Phoenix got involved in the match up and caused a DQ, Santino then gets thrown into the announce table and Kofi Kingston smashes Santino’s head into Lawler’s Mac Book! Someone owes King a new laptop, that’s for sure! Santino retains his belt, but only because Phoenix’s interference. I enjoyed this match, and Santino has a great comedic timing about him. The match really went nowhere, but it was great to see that a comedic title reign can generate so much entertainment. That’s all this is folks, entertainment.

Kane In Ring Segment:

Kane talks bad about Rey Mysterio. He says that he basically killed off Rey Mysterio. This could be because Rey is arguing for more money, or that he needs more time to heel his injuries. Batista comes out for the save, and Batista gets beat down. This is most likely why he didn’t wrestle the tag champions, because he was going to get pwned by Kane! Kane demolishes Batista, and the announcers say it’s because Batista was injured. Kane leaves and we all are thinking one thing; whether or not Rey Mysterio will return to WWE, or go straight to Mexico and make some major cash by going to Lucha Libre?

Chris Jericho defeated CM Punk

If I complain about the John Cena matches, I’m going to have to complain about CM Punk’s matches too. His matches are really formulaic as well. There are never any battles that go both ways, he is usually the face in peril and doesn’t really get over until the closing moments of the match. Sure there are a few flurries here and there, but for the most part Punk doesn’t really get a whole lot of back and forth momentum. Maybe it’s because most of his matches aren’t very long, or maybe it’s just that it works better for him. Jericho and CM Punk did put on a show though, and whatever criticism I had for the match vanished towards the middle of the match when things started to really turn around. Maybe I spoke to soon, but the match was going towards a good point and we even saw some new moves for Punk to add to his arsenal. There were a lot of near falls, that’s for sure, thrilling the home town crowd seemed simple for Punk. Lance Cade caused a diversion, and Jericho pulled out the Code Breaker for the win! Too bad this wasn’t for the world title. Jericho really put on a great match up, and he’s looking great.

The Y2J and HBK angle could take a swerve too! What if people cheered the crap out of Y2J? Then HBK could be bitter about the whole thing, and turn into a Bret Hart type character. Y2J could be the face…but then again…this isn’t the Attitude Era.

There were some interesting developments in the story line department. Some things were pushed, while other things were given their natural closures. The Intercontinental championship is getting really interested now. I like that the mid card is getting the attention that it deserves.

CM Punk’s way over with the crowd, and because it was his home town, the arena went insane! Seriously, the place erupted like I haven’t seen on Raw in a long time. CM Punk is quite the fan favorite, considering that he’s not a huge guy and continues to wear the belt with pride. I like Punk’s title reign so far, and hopefully people will stop saying that he’s just a transitional champion. The crowd was red hot for him too, I was impressed, that’s for sure.

The overall show was good, I enjoyed it for the most part. I felt that there were some moments wasted. I thought for sure that there would be more, but it seemed to be just enough show in 2 hours to make it worthwhile.

Tito Ortiz And WWE

Rumor has it Tito Ortiz could in fact come into WWE. This is of course not the first time a UFC wrestler or MMA wrestler has joined the ranks of the WWE. The most notable of mma stars to join was none other than Ken Shamrock. Shamrock came into the WWE with a no holds barred gimmick, then quickly escalated into a feud with The Rock over the WWF Intercontinental Championship, before joining forces with The Corporation and other factions and eventually leaving WWE after a long run to return to MMA.

We also have seen Tito Ortiz work in TNA before, and while I had my reservations, he came across really strong to me, while there.

We also saw Dan The Best Severn in WWE for a limited amount of time, even coming out during that huge Survivor Series tournament that crowned The Rock WWE Champion by defeating a comeback kid of sorts...Mick Foley.

Here's an old interview with Tito Ortiz about competing in TNA:



So what's next?

UFC's contract with TITO expires this weekend, and he's not exactly thrilled about how UFC has treated Tito.

I'm not sure what goes on behind the scenes over there, but I loved his feud with Ken Shamrock, that's for sure.

Will WWE capitalize on this guy?

Is he worth it?

Maybe.

But the divas might see a little more of Jenna Jameson, because we all know that her and Tito are together.

All this is just in the air, I'm not sure if WWE is in a position to bank on anyone coming in and disrupting what they have.

On the other hand, TNA has Angle, and Tito could be his hired gun...only to turn on him later down the road.

Or this all could be marketing ploys by UFC to force a higher payout.

Or I could just be making it all up...but then again, why would I?

Carlito Stays In WWE

Remember when I said that Carlito was 90% sure to leave?

Well he's not leaving, and to reward him WWE has given him a LADDER MATCH INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE SHOT!

That's right, this is going to go off! Carlito can work and hardy as we know works his butt off whenever there is a ladder involved.

This could mean that the title goes to Carlito, and then Hardy beats HHH or loses whatever, but no title has to be sacrificed in the process!

This monday night is shaping up to be quite cool.

Face vs. Face ,Heel vs. New Guy

First things first, remember Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior? That was the ultimate match that had me guessing each out come with every pinfall. I didn't know who would win, and I didn't know who to cheer for. I was sitting in a room in some ghetto town deep in Los Angeles and we were watching it live on PPV and then the ending...Hulk Hogan lost.

Well now there's a new face vs. face match steaming into a boil for the Great American Bash. John Cena vs. Bobby Lashley which is going to have a lot of people guessing the outcome, but will this be the day that we seen Cena finally lose? I hope so.



Oh and what about Umaga ending the new guy's streak? Talk about some bad things. First of all Umaga couldn't defeat Lashley, and couldn't win the title before, but now is feeling better. Santino got mopped up in squash fashion, which makes his title reign a very crappy and stupid one. Transitional champion? Not even. Santino's comeback is going to have to be a great one, because he's not doing so hot just now.
