The show opened up with a quick recap of the main event picture that was cleared up at Summerslam, and I thought it was interesting. The finish of the match reminded me a lot of Spring Stampede 98…I think it was 1998. Where Macho won the World Title from Sting after Kevin Nash power bombed Sting to hell. I liked that year’s match ups. That might have been Spring Stampede 1999…who cares.
I told you I was back. Here are my thoughts about Raw.
Triple H’s speech was ok…kind of boring and dragged out. He apologized, and went on about how he had nothing to do with Kevin Nash running in, and then handed the microphone over to Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio’s mic skills have always been up to snuff, but more so now as he is an interesting anti-hero, but will most likely end up being another run of the mill heel.
John Morrison defeated R Truth (Falls Count Anywhere)
I feel like I’ve seen every Morrison match there is to be done. Meanwhile, I feel like I’ve seen every R Truth match that can be done as well. This match had a few moments of cool, but overall it was just standard. There were some nice spots thrown in, including Truth and Morrison getting friendly with a high back office chair, but I wasn’t too impressed. Morrison is still quite good, albeit terrible promo…you’d think he’d be better by now.
The Miz did a long promo where he basically had an advertisement for Subway. I’m not a fan of getting a pillow case full of lettuce, I’m sorry.
Kelly Kelly & Rosa defeated The Bella Twins
The bathroom match happened here. I talked to my girlfriend, and then it was over. Apparently Rosa got the pin…Or something…who cares. I know you don’t.
Kevin Nash is looking good these days; too bad Scott Hall can’t get his act together. Kevin Nash explained his actions and what not, and out came CM Punk. Punk then lambasted Nash. Punk wanted to fight Nash, but security came out.
Jack Swagger defeated Alex Riley
This match was not too good at all, and it was made worse when Swagger couldn’t pick up Alex Riley for his finisher. Sadly, that was the end of that. Ziggler was on color commentary and he came out and started trouble with Riley, sadly, another boredom movement displayed here.
Evan Bourne & Kofi Kingston defeated David Otunga & Michael McGullicutty (non title)
I’m way out of the loop because this match didn’t seem like something I saw coming any time soon. The match up was fast paced towards the end, and Evan Bourne once again shined with his amazing shooting star press. I’m not sure if he can continue to do this type of maneuver forever, but for now, it’s quite good. This will most likely lead to a tag title match.
Alberto Del Rio defeated Rey Mysterio (WWE Title)
This match was interesting to say the least. The main reason being that the little guy supposedly is injured, and yet has no signs of wear and tear. Del Rio was fighting this thing off like a champ, I couldn’t believe how many shots to the dome Mysterio took, meanwhile Del Rio couldn’t put him away. Mysterio went for the top rope drop but Del Rio put his legs up and rolled up Mysterio for the pinfall victory, and this one was as clean as you can get for the Champion. Not a 4 star classic, but a nice main event for tonight’s Raw.
After the match Mysterio got the beat down, and afterwards John Cena ran down and beat him up. Cena did his “mad” good guy shtick, which was stupid to me.
Raw was actually watchable. There wasn't much wrestling, as per usual, but it was entertaining enough. I'm interested in seeing how far the relationship between Triple H and Kevin Nash goes. The rest, well it doesn't seem nearly as compelling.

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/31/11 Results and Review
Fresh off of a great Royal Rumble, in my view, we get this week's Raw. I wasn't sure what to expect with the night after the Rumble, but I'm sure there was going to be a lot of people clashing. I for one couldn't believe that santino lasted so long before getting eliminated, and was hoping he'd get another shot.
First thing's first, out came a mariachi for Alberto Del Rio. Alberto Del Rio got into the ring and got some major boo's from the audience. The Miz came out and immediately cut a promo about how he's so great and Del Rio should face Miz. The Miz was trying to get Del Rio to pick Edge, and not Miz for his title match, and right before Del Rio could go ahead and pick him, out came EDGE to a huge ovation. Edge got a huge pop. Del Rio then picked his opponent, the World Heavyweight Champion, whomever that will be at Wrestlemania! If Edge is still champion he will face Edge. Alberto than grabbed a guitar and completely knocked Edge out and then grabbed Edge's arm and locked it into an armbreaker to much heat. I liked the opening here, and I for one am a huge Del Rio fan, simply because my middle name is none other than ALBERTO! Yep.
Santino and Kozlov fought two parts of the Nexus and were getting completely worked. McGullicutty put the boots to Santino and Husky managed to prove that he truly is like a tank. Kozlov would eventually get the tag and after a hot tag, Santino would get the win with none othe rthan THE COBRA! Yes, The Cobra defeats two members of the new Nexus. I still think Santino should've won the rumble.
Santino & Kozlov defeated Husky Harris & Mike McGullicutty
Randy Orton ran down and hit Husky and Mike with RKO's. He was hissing, from what I could tell, and was acting like a snake. He got a huge ovation, and that was that. He just came out and hit everyone, and the crowd went nuts. Orton was setting up Husky for the punt of his life, but was thwarted by Punk, who came out on the mic and told Orton not to do it. Orton then looked like he wasn't going to punt Husky after all, and took an exhausting amount of time just standing there, he then Punted Husky to oblivion, and ran out of the ring and throug the crowd! Orton punted Husky!
Ted Dibiase Jr came out and talked some trash with Lawler and then Lawler said that he was going to go to Wrestlemania and win the royal rumble, which prompted Ted to punk out Lawler, only to get punched out cold! Yep. Lawler punched out Ted Dibiase. I'm hoping that Lawler completely punches out Cole sometime soon.
A weird promo was made, which I assumed was Awesome Kong. All it said was 2/21/11 and that's it. I'm not sure what it meant, or who it was for.
This match was boring. Daniel Bryan got Tyson Kidd into the Labell Lock with relative ease. Kidd is on his way to being fired. I like Gail Kim, I'd love to hang out with her for a while. I don't like the Bella Twins.
Daniel Bryan defeated Tyson Kidd
This next match was champion vs champion, and it was interesting to see. The match was moving fast, and Edge seemed to be the better of the two, despite The miz getting some nice shots in. Edge tried to get the spear on Miz but hit the turnbuckle, and as Miz was getting this match in the bag, John Cena got on the mic and got the whole crowd to chant Miz is awful. Edge hit the spear and pinned Miz!
Edge defeated The Miz
The divas had a tag match and it was boring. There were a few nice moments, but a few moments don't make a great match. Laylacool win again, and Eve gets pinned. Layla has a nice finisher, and McCool interfering was good.
Laycool defeated Eve & Natalya
The Usos got killed in this match, which was nothing but a dance contest. This was the dumbest thing I've seen on raw in a long time.
Khali & Mark Henry defeated The Usos in a dance contest
Another weird ad was shown. It was dark, rainy, and just really dark. It simply said 2/21/11...I'm not sure what it is.
The next was a Raw Rumble match. 7 Men will enter in 9 second inervals, and regular rumble rules applies. The winner will face the WWE Champion at the PPV next month, and the rest of the six will be in the Raw side of the Elimination Match, fair enough? I hope so.
The man who drew #1 was none other than John Morrison
The man who drew #2 was none other than Sheamus
The two opponents fought each other with relative ease, not speeding through the match but having some good overall bumps. Morrison seemed to be getting the better of the exchange early on.
#3 John Cena
John Cena drew #3 and came out to a great ovation, and started mopping up immediately. He started with mopping up Sheamus easily, getting the crowd riled up. He then tried hitting the Attitude Adjustment on Morrison, but it was reversed and Cena got knocked out with relative ease.
#4 Cm Punk
The leader of the new Nexus was the guy that came out next, and he had a vendetta with Cena. He came in like a house on fire, hitting anything that moved, and completely knocking out everyone. He was the freshest man, and was doing a great deal of fighting, which was good to see overall.
#5 R Truth
Truth and Morrison both were nearly eliminated and both threw themselves over the top rope and back into the ring. The heels were all over the faces in this one, as Punk and Sheamus seemed to be taking control. The crowd was cheering for Cena like crazy.
#6 Jerry The King Lawler
Lawler was the next man to get called in and he wasn't half bad. He hit everyone with right hands, and was getting a chance to shine. He got a nice Jerry chant from the crowd, and he was giving it his best shot, and nearly eliminated Cm Punk at one point.
#7 Randy Orton
Orton was the 7th man, and Punk went underneath the ring to hide. Orton immediately was looking for him, under the ring, eventually got a hold of Punk's leg and dragged him out from under the ring. He then went to pummeling Punk. The match finally got all 7 members, and it was cool to see. Punk was immediately eliminated, and R Truth then eliminated Orton! It looked like it wasn't planned, which I liked. John Cena eliminated R Truth, and nearly got Morrison out. Morrison then got Cena over the top rope, and as Morrison and Cena were fighting on the apron, Sheamus nearly got eliminated! Three men were on the apron and only Lawler was left in the ring! This was high drama for sure, but all three men eventually got back into the ring.
All four men were back in and Sheamus was nearly Eliminated, and this match was definitely one of the best things I've seen in a long time. A great way to end Raw after a great Rumble. Cena got Sheamus into an STF and it didn't matter, but Morrison hit Starship Pain on Cena, and wow, I was marking out for all four men in this match, including Lawler who nearly eliminated Morrison! Sheamus hit Morrison off the apron with a Bro kick (i know it's broad or whatever), eliminating him. Cena, Lawler and Sheamus were the last people left.
Lawler was trying his hardest to get John Cena eliminated, and it was surreal to say the least. Lawler was pushed into Cena and that eliminated him, and Sheamus tried to Bro Kick Lawler, and he got eliminated next with help from Cena, leaving none other than JERRY THE KING LAWLER as the WINNER of the Raw Rumble!
JERRY "THE KING" LAWLER won the Raw Rumble
Jerry Lawler will face The Miz at the Elimination Chamber. I can't imagine Lawler winning the WWE championship. I just can't imagine him winning but you never really know.

WWE Raw 1/17/11 Results
Santino & Kozlov defeated The USOS
John Morrison defeated Daniel Bryan
Randy Orton defeated Dolph Ziggler
Natalya defeated Maryse
Mark Henry won a battle royal
Cm Punk defeated John Cena via dq
WWE Raw 1/17/11 Review
The show started with John Cena coming back to take the mic and get the crowd going. They are completely nuts for him, which is good and bad.
Cena got on the mic and it was interesting enough, and then Miz came out and helped antagonize the Miz. That prompted CM Punk and Nexus to come down and try to beat up Cena, but that prompted the tag champs to run down and beat up Nexus.
We found out via the general manager that Nexus can't interfere in the match later tonight.
We then got a tag team title match that we've seen one hundred times before.
Santino & Kozlov defeated The USOS
This was a quick match up with predictable moments, and an ending that we've seen before. Santino hit the Cobra and it was done. The tag champs retain the titles.
John Morrison defeated Daniel Bryan
A good, albeit short, match between these two. There were some great back and forth moments in this match, but nothing too complicated. Morrison looked like he was going to lose this one with Bryan nearly getting his finishing submission, but Morrison was able to squeeze out a victory by knocking out bryan with a knee to the chin. A fast match, a good quality television match up, but it did nothing for either man.
Randy Orton defeated Dolph Ziggler
This match was interesting, and further exposed the fact that there is NO need for a brand split. Ortonw as all over Ziggler, and it was painfully obvious that Orton was going over, at least to me. Ziggler took some shots though, and it wasn't all "Viper". Ziggler held his own against Orton and was actually moving forward at one point to reversing what my original thought was. Ziggler has been on top of his game for a while, and it was nice to see him interact with the main event talent of Raw. Ziggler had this one sewn up but out of nowhere Orton hit an RKO and that was the end of that.
Post match, within moments of the 3 count, The Miz and Alex Riley hit the ring and beat the snot out of Randy Orton.
Natalya defeated Maryse
This was an easy match for Natalya. Maryse didn't even get much offense in.
Mark Henry won a Battle Royal
There was a small sized Battle Royal and it seemed like Henry was an unstoppable force. He is being billed as the guy that will win the Rumble, but of course he won't win.
Alberto Del Rio came out and cut a promo about how he's going to win the Rumble.
Cm Punk defeated John Cena via dq
This match had main event feel all over it, and it was interesting on paper. Cena started this match with a lot of momentum, and I was impressed to see how much weight Punk has lost. He's a slimmer punk, and dare I say, faster? He's lost some tone for sure, and it definitely looks like he's a shell of his former self, which isn't a bad thing. This match was amazing, it seriously was looking to be one of the better matches in Raw history, and even though Cena's offense was dated, it didn't matter. It absolutely didn't matter, because Punk was given some good timing and great amount of motions to work through.
The match got odd, when a guy that looked a lot like a younger Batista showed up and decked Punk. I kid you not, this guy was as big as Batista if not bigger, and he decked Punk, in a very odd moment.
The match was thrown out, I guess Cena loses via dq? I don't know. Then Nexus runs down and wow...I like this, as the new Nexus is now bigger than ever.
This is an insane ending, I'm not even sure what to say. If you missed it, you really did in fact miss it.

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/10/11 Results and Review
WWE Monday Night Raw 1/10/11 Results
Alberto Del Rio defeated R Truth
Mark Henry & Daniel Bryan defeated Ted Dibiase & Tyson Kidd
John Morrison defeated Sheamus
Randy Orton & Jerry Lawler defeated The Miz & Alex Riley
WWE Monday Night Raw 1/10/11 Review
I feel like I haven't had an adequate break from pro-wrestling in a long time. I feel like I'm overloaded with wrestling and yet can't make a dime with ads, or anyone buying anything on amazon. I'm sorry to vent, but when you've been unemployed for 16 months, and have to pay back a student loan for your education, you get kind of bummed sometimes.
Santino & Kozlov came out for the tag team championship match, but it didn't go down, because Nexus ran down and beat the champions up. They were all wearing new shirts, which looked awesome. This new group is amazing folks, and I like it, I really like where it's going.
CM Punk cut a promo and said that everyone has to prove that they are great...and that there will be an initiation!
Punk pulled out McGullicutty and was told he would have to get beaten into the group, gang land style!
Alberto Del Rio defeated R Truth
This was a quick match with not a lot of great action, but some good moments. Towards the end of the match, the two battled outside of the ring and Del Rio's ring announcer distracted R Truth and was counted out! That's right, Del Rio gets the win via countout. Del Rio is a great heel, and I hope they continue with it, cause he can generate some great heat.
This show was weird, that's all I can say...there were some seriously gay things with Nexus like getting "whipped"??? You had to see it to believe it.
Mark Henry & Daniel Bryan defeated Ted Dibiase & Tyson Kidd
I saw this match on Thursday, so it was ok. The same match we saw, only this time it seemed that Daniel Bryan and Mark Henry were short on time so this match was rushed and featured some heavy hitting offense. It eventually just had the good guys go over. The Bellas looked hot.
Big Show came out and beat up David Otunga.
John Morrison defeated Sheamus
Once again, Sheamus couldn't beat John Morrison. This is kind of odd booking if you ask me. John Morrison took one hell of a beating though, so this wasn't a burial match of any kind. Sheamus really had to work hard here, but when it was all said and done John Morrison managed to turn things around and won. Morrison's new push is awesome, and people are getting behind every win. Sheamus has been taking some serious hits, and hopefully he's being pushed into a Triple H match...sooner than later.
The King Jerry Lawler talked about the first inductee to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, and it is none other than:
Shawn Michaels
Wow. That's all I can say. Those video packages are awesome.
HBK came out and and talked about how great it is to go into the Hall of Fame. That prompted Alberto Del Rio to cut a heel promo. Yep. I kid you not. HBK listened but as Del Rio finished up, he got a face full of CHIN MUSIC! Yep. I kid you not, it looked impressive and Del Rio was out cold! It was awesome! I marked out like a 10 year old Cena fan.
CM Punk cut another promo, and Cena chimed in via Satellite....and well...he cut a promo on Punk...it was boring.
Randy Orton & Jerry Lawler defeated The Miz & Alex Riley
Alex Riley got completely killed in this match up because Randy Orton wouldn't let The Miz get involved with the match. That being said, Riley took a lot of offense, and it was insane. Lawler hit his mid rope fist drop and won the match for his team. That was that.
A strange night in wrestling, that's all I can say. The Nexus thing was weird. The titles seemed secondary. The wrestling was rushed, and it seemed like there wasn't much time for much more. Oh well.
Next week, John Cena will face Cm Punk! It should be good.

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/3/10 Results
The Miz defeated John Morrison in a Falls Count Anywhere Match
Natalya, Eve, Brie Bella defeated Maryse, Alicia Fox, and Melina
Santino & Kozlov defeated The Usos
Alberto Del Rio defeated R Truth
Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett and Sheamus in a #1 Contenders Steel Cage Triple Threat Match
WWE Monday Night Raw 1/3/10 Review
Alright, a New Year, a new Raw and a continuation of the stories we started last year. Raw opened up with a recap of Nexus beatin gdown John Cena and CM Punk becoming the leader of Nexus. I liked it a lot, and one thing that I've always said, WWE can create some of the most compelling videos. I always wanted to work there, and even went to school and have a degree for it, but alas, no job, no response, and still trying to make a few cents here, none of which is happening, because no one is buying via the amazon links. Oh well.
Michael Cole opened up and told us that John Cena was injured. He then run down the night, old school style, before the intro came in. I hat how the intro is Nickelback...I hate it.
The Miz defeated John Morrison in a Falls Count Anywhere Match
This match started very fast with Morrison and Miz fighting on the ramp and Morrison going nuts flying off the top of a high WWE sign on the top of the ramp. This high spot really was nice to look at, but had disaster written all over it, had he missed. Morrison had this match going well for himself with heavy hitting offense, and lots of great spots, perfectly executed. He even had this thing won at one point, but Alex Riley interfered and The Miz was able to recover. After the commercial, Morrison went through a guard rail as the Miz backflipped him near the ramp and stage. Morrison hit Starship Pain and had the Miz completely knocked out, but somehow, someway The Miz kicked out! I marked out huge, because I didn't know if Miz could survive much more, and Morrison had this thing completely won. Miz rolled up Morrison and the match continued, but Morrison kept his onslaught of offense. There was a table outside, and this thing was bound to get messy in a heartbeat, as Morrison continued to set up Miz. Morrison went for Starship Pain off the top rope to the outside, and MISSED! Morrison went solo through a table, Miz rolled out of the way, and this thing was over...so I thought. MOrrison was able to kick out at 2, which was insane, there's no way, this match was seriously becoming match of the year, and it was only the first match of 2011. The Skull Crushing Finale was hit on the floor and The Miz won this match up! Holy crap, Miz won a war here, and wow, best match I've seen in a long time. If you missed it, go watch it somehow. Miz and Morrison put on a 3 to 4 star classic and Morrison looked halfway dead...what a match up. Wow, just wow. This was a ppv caliber match up folks.
Natalya, Eve, Brie Bella defeated Maryse, Alicia Fox, and Melina
I'm tired of seeing the same 6 women wrestle in WWE. I used to love the TNA knockout's division because they had a stable of women that out numbered the WWE divas, but alas, here are the same six women that I've seen wrestle every week, in the same six person tag match. I'm so sick of the WWE divas. This match sucked, it had a few minor moments to see, but overall, this was just a tired match up. Eve got the pin with a neckbreaker.
Santino & Kozlov defeated The Usos
I've already seen this match twenty times before, but this time, the Usos actually won. This match was ok at best, but it was Kozlov and Santino that got the last laugh. The match up had the Usos taking a lot of bumps and giving off most of the offense. The Cobra was the team's downfall, but eh, we got a double cobra at the end of the match. This was a comedy match up, which was just hilarious.
CM Punk cut a nice heel promo, but out came Wade Barrett. This should get really interesting, especially since Wade claimed he injured Cena at a house show. The two argued in the ring, and Wade commanded NExUS to come out, and that's when they came out. This got interesting, but I was thinking that Nexus would be beating up Wade here. I'm still the only one that thinks The Black John Cena should return.
Nexus, with Otunga taking the mic, talked about how they need a new leader. But before anyone could say anything else, the Raw General manager chimed in. The general manager said that there would be a Steel Cage match later tonight. Wade Barrett agreed that if he lossed in a cage match later in the show, he'd leave Nexus and let Cm Punk lead.
Alberto Del Rio defeated R Truth
Once again, this match proves a few things. It proved that Del Rio is a top contender and should get a title shot if not the world title soon. He also proved that there is no NEED to have a brand split, there is just no reason. Del Rio worked on Truth's arm for the match, putting on a great technical showcase, and entertaining process. Truth couldn't get into this match, and he's just recovering from sickness, and well, couldn't master the Mexican anti-hero. I hope Del Rio gets a title soon, I like him. I'm an Alberto Del Rio fan for sure.
Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett and Sheamus in a #1 Contenders Steel Cage Triple Threat Match
I hate the new era of cage matches. The ref in the ring, the lack of blue steel, it just looks stupid. This match was hard hitting and featured a lot of power moves. The three battled it out, and it was nice to see it get some time, as all the members hit hard and were telling a story which I couldn't pinpoint the winner. Mid point, Barrett was climbing out of the ring and Cm Punk ran down, but betrayed him, costing him the match up. Sheamus hit the "bro" kick on Barrett and turned only to get an RKO knocking him completely out. Orton then simply walked out and will now get a shot at The Miz at the Royal Rumble. Another Miz Orton match? I'm bored already.
I'm surprised that Miz didn't run down and knock the door closed, hitting Orton and causin him to lose the match, because he doesn't want to face him. That would made for higher drama, but it didn't happen here.
Punk betraying Barrett was a nice touch, and one that I didn't really see coming necessarily. Sheamus losing, well, I guess that's ok.
Overall a good Raw, and a great night of wrestling. I'm excited to see what's coming down the pipeline as it seems that we're moving into a better era of wrestling, but we'll see what happens in the coming weeks, as things could turn sour fast.

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/3/10 Review
Alright, a New Year, a new Raw and a continuation of the stories we started last year. Raw opened up with a recap of Nexus beatin gdown John Cena and CM Punk becoming the leader of Nexus. I liked it a lot, and one thing that I've always said, WWE can create some of the most compelling videos. I always wanted to work there, and even went to school and have a degree for it, but alas, no job, no response, and still trying to make a few cents here, none of which is happening, because no one is buying via the amazon links. Oh well.
Michael Cole opened up and told us that John Cena was injured. He then run down the night, old school style, before the intro came in. I hat how the intro is Nickelback...I hate it.

WWE Monday Night Raw 12/27/10 Review
Sorry for the delay, the library's computers were a bit more crowded then usual, so getting a 1 hour and 1/2 block of time was tough. But I managed to get Raw and review it for you 2 readers out there. Hopefully everyone had a better Christmas than I did. I didn't get any presents, no tree, and this site failed to sell anything on amazon. But that's ok, I had some little debbie's gingerbread cookies and some coffee and that was that. Here is my review of the last Raw of 2010!
THe show opened up with John Cena coming out and getting a huge ovation. The crowd exploded upon the start. It was crazy, I can't believe it. John Cena cut a promo and talked about how he probably deserved getting hit with chairs by Cm Punk, for SPILLING HIS DIET SODA! Yes. FOR THE SODA!I was laughing, but it seemed like the crowd wasn't sure.
CM Punk came out after prompting, and he cut a heel promo on John Cena. Punk addresses the soda, and the crowd completely goes into a frenzy with the You Suck chants. Punk's new shirt is awesome, in case anyone cares. CM Punk's mic work is golden here, and something worth listening and watching to. Punk's heel character is a great contrast to John Cena. This feud is going to be quite good as it's developing nicely. We'll see how it goes, because despite being PG it still had me hooked.
Santino defeated Ted Dibiase
This was a fast match with two or three moves. Santino got the win with a quick roll up, and that was that. The burial of Ted Dibiase in 2010 continues.
Post match, Ted and Maryse tried to jump the winners, but they turned the corner and they pulled of dual CObras! It's interesting I guess, if nothing else, it's funny to watch.
John Morrison defeated Alex Riley
This match was definitely something to watch. Despite Alex Riley's rookie status, he's a good wrestler with some great footwork and great reaction time. Morrison was far better here, and was near perfect yet again, but The Miz kept him from hitting some of his move set at one point, but Miz was thrown out. Morrison said that his match with Miz would be Falls Count Anywhere and it will be next week! This was a good entertaining match, with lots of back and forth, and with a great impact to end it. Alex Riley got obliterated in the end, and The MIz will have to face Morrison next week. I am going to bank on him winning and the two fighting at the Royal Rumble.
Mark Henry defeated Tyson Kidd
I can't believe Mark Henry is still employed after all these years. He was fed Tyson Kidd and Henry beat him with relative ease. It was a burial folks, Mark Henry beats Kidd.
Post match, Jackson Andrews was given the "World's Strongest Slam". I'm not sure why they buried Kidd's body guard here. He easily beat Andrew with a slam, and made him look like a chump. So much for that story line huh? I can't believe this bs.
Jerry "The King" Lawler defeated The Miz
Lawler once again got to face the Miz, this time not in a ladder match. It was just a singles match, with no title on the line. This was a slow moving match with The Miz taking control for a good portion of it. Lawler was NOT looking as good as he did with the Ladder match, but he did manage to make this one interesting. He was able to hit Miz at some opportune moments, at one point knocking Miz out as he fell from the middle rope to land face first into the steel steps. Alex Riley tried to attack, but as he was doing that, Morrison hit Miz and Lawler won by countout! LAWLER WINS! With a little help, Lawler goes out on top, which was interesting to say the least.
Melina & Alicia Fox defeated Gail Kim & Eve
Gail Kim, amazing performer. I can't believe that she's been jobbed out to Melina here. This match was a showcase of "Melina" rather than competitive match up. I loved how Gail Kim's offense looked and her Missile Dropkick fromt he top rope was picture perfect. Despite some great moves, and despite a great example of quality athleticism, I didn't like how it ended up being a way to move Melina's heel push. Melina got the pin, no one cared.
Natalya got in the ring and slapped Melina this time. No one cares.
WOO WOO WOO YOU KNOW IT!
Daniel Bryan defeated Zack Ryder
I love Zack Ryder's gimmick and wrestling style far better than the Jersey Shore guy in TNA, and would rather see him go and help the young man on TNA than to see him get jobbed out on every show. Zack Ryder here put on a slim show as Bryan was all over him. Daniel Bryan beat the snot out of Ryder than made him tap, and that was that.
While Michael Cole was delivering an announcement from the General Manager, The Miz jumped Jerry Lawler. No joke, he just beat the bricks off of Lawler, and that was that.
Randy Orton defeated Sheamus
Back and forth momentum swing here. When Orton was champion these two couldn't put together a watchable affair for me. But now that they are not in the title picture, they put on a great match? This is backwards. Despite the obvious oddity, the two put on a show here with a lot of great moments. Some high offense, some great counters, and Sheamus wasn't able to defend himself from the striking predator. Sheamus went for the shoulder block from outside the ring to the inside and BOOOM THE RKO! What a counter, and what a quick strike that was positioned perfectly. I couldn't believe the timing, once again these two put on a show. Sheamus the stronger of the two, kep hitting Orton with his offense, and with the sling shot attempt at the end of the match, his downfall came with an RKO timed perfectly. I can't believe how well the spot worked, and well, Orton wins. I was surprised that Sheamus being king hasn't worked well for him.
John Cena came out to the ring expecting CM Punk to surprise him. But instead, out came THE NEXUS. This time, they were lead out to the ring by David Otunga. That's right, DAVID OTUNGA, is looking to be the leader of the rookie group NEXUS. Otunga tried to get a friendship with John Cena. Cena decline and told Otunga off, and Otunga left the ring, a sad broken man.
As Nexus was turning away, they ran back to the ring and beat up John Cena! Yep, Nexus vs John Cena, and that was that. I'm not sure why they are continuing this story line, but whatever, I liked Cena trying to get taken out by Nexus, only to show off that he's SUPER MAN, but he didn't overcome the numbers game as he took the 450 splash, and a nice senton by Husky.
No sign of Wade Barrett here. As Nexus was going to the top of the stage, out came CM Punk. He walked out to the ring and took on a beaten and battered John Cena. He then hit The GTS on Cena. Is he the leader of the Nexus?
YES. CM PUNK is now the leader of the NEXUS! That's right, he simply got a chair and sat down, and then put on the Nexus arm band. He is NOW the LEADER OF THE NEXUS! I marked out huge, and with one arm raised, the NEXUS got in line. Is this now the Straightedge Society? Is the Nexus now stronger? I don't know, but what a way to create a new stable, a new leader, and nefound interest in Raw, and The Nexus. No one called this, I'm sorry, NO PODCAST, NO SMARK, NO ONE CALLED PUNK IN THE NEXUS.
Leader changes are great for wrestling stables. One of the biggest leader changes was DX. When Shawn Michaels was thrown out of DX for losing at Wrestlemania, HHH began to rise to the top of the WWE ranks. In fact, the next night on Raw after Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack were complete buried by the New Age Outlaws in a dumpster match, we saw a cage match between the four and the debut of X-Pac.
Raw was good tonight, the ending was great. I loved the new dynamic, I like the new leader. Wade Barrett should return, Darren Young should also come back or get recruited. The Nexus could be like Raven's flock was, stronger and more dynamic. We'll find out what happens in the new year. I'm excited.

The Week In Wrestling Christmas 2010 Edition
This week in wrestling a lot went down. Most of which I've already forgotten, but there are a few stand out points you might want to recall from this week's wrestling offerings.
First and foremost, I DO NOT watch ROH on a regular basis. I want to. However, when you utilize the library as your main internet source, you can't really watch ROH and review them. Plus, I'm already reviewing a ton of shows so I guess ROH and other federations will have to wait until I get a job and get cable again, which doesn't seem likely any time soon.
Best Match of the Week
Sheamus vs John Morrison Ladder Match
This match was by far the best match I've seen in a long time. These two put on one heck of a ladder match in both impact and psychology. Sheamus worked the leg of Morrison, hoping to ground his high flying attack and Morrison by sheer will hit Sheamus with anything and everything that might slow down the beast. Sheamus took some sick bumps and Morrison dove through the air in such a spectacular way. I call it match of the year, but others will disagree. It really was special, and the best match of this week.
Best Show of the Week
Without a doubt WWE Raw was the best show of this week. Smackdown this week was also good, and the extended tribute to the troops wasn't half bad, but Raw hit a gear that was all too good. I loved Cena, I liked how there was NO Nexus, and things just ran well. Ziggler has main event written all over him, Cena is enjoying his role, which makes me enjoy his work in ring and on the mic. Raw was definitely a hot show and the crowd made it so much more memorable.
Worst Moment of the Week
TNA IMPACT ends without finishing the main event. I hate how the main event is cut off of Impact. I don't want to watch reaction and don't want to bleed into another show to watch what should be the main event of IMPACT. Tna keeps making terrible moves, and I for some odd reason keep watching. I'm not blaming Bischoff or Hogan, but there is something wrong over at TNA and it shouldn't take some random blogger to point that out.
That's it for this week, I hope you guys enjoy your Christmas!
Whether you hate John Cena or Love John Cena, you're going to probably want to check out The John Cena Experience 3 DISC DVD set or the BLU RAY High Definition John Cena Experience. The set contains 16 matches from all over Cena's career but most importantly goes behind the scenes of his life to show you just how much effort he puts into working for the WWE. The commercial was quite interesting and the set looks like something you'd want to pick up. If you're interested in the John Cena Experience click here to purchase it for cheap, it helps this blog continue and hopefully gets me an internet connection at home, because right now I'm using the old library in my town.
Thanks for reading! Leave comments, send emails my way, and subscribe to the RSS FEED right here, as we head into another great year of wrestling.

This match was by far the best match I've seen in a long time. These two put on one heck of a ladder match in both impact and psychology. Sheamus worked the leg of Morrison, hoping to ground his high flying attack and Morrison by sheer will hit Sheamus with anything and everything that might slow down the beast. Sheamus took some sick bumps and Morrison dove through the air in such a spectacular way. I call it match of the year, but others will disagree. It really was special, and the best match of this week.
Best Show of the Week
Without a doubt WWE Raw was the best show of this week. Smackdown this week was also good, and the extended tribute to the troops wasn't half bad, but Raw hit a gear that was all too good. I loved Cena, I liked how there was NO Nexus, and things just ran well. Ziggler has main event written all over him, Cena is enjoying his role, which makes me enjoy his work in ring and on the mic. Raw was definitely a hot show and the crowd made it so much more memorable.
Worst Moment of the Week
TNA IMPACT ends without finishing the main event. I hate how the main event is cut off of Impact. I don't want to watch reaction and don't want to bleed into another show to watch what should be the main event of IMPACT. Tna keeps making terrible moves, and I for some odd reason keep watching. I'm not blaming Bischoff or Hogan, but there is something wrong over at TNA and it shouldn't take some random blogger to point that out.
That's it for this week, I hope you guys enjoy your Christmas!
Whether you hate John Cena or Love John Cena, you're going to probably want to check out The John Cena Experience 3 DISC DVD set or the BLU RAY High Definition John Cena Experience. The set contains 16 matches from all over Cena's career but most importantly goes behind the scenes of his life to show you just how much effort he puts into working for the WWE. The commercial was quite interesting and the set looks like something you'd want to pick up. If you're interested in the John Cena Experience click here to purchase it for cheap, it helps this blog continue and hopefully gets me an internet connection at home, because right now I'm using the old library in my town.

WWE Monday Night Raw 12/20/10 Review
One night after WWE TLC 2010 we get Monday Night Raw, and The King said it best: We are here around Christmas and we start the show with The Grinch. Yep. The Miz was getting booed out of the building, and for anyone that saw the show last night, you know why The Miz is really hated right now.
The Miz got into the ring and started talking trash and what not. He kept rambling when the lights went out and Alex Riley came out as the "Ghost of Christmas Past"...I kid you not.
Michael Cole came out as another ghost...I kid you not. They were doing A Christmas Carol. I couldn't believe this. I liked the Muppet one though.
John Morrison came out and confronted the Miz. That's right, John Morrison came out and talkd to the Miz. He wasn't half bad, and the crowd was fully behind John Morrison. Alex Riley got into Morrison's face and got punched out for his action. Sheamus then ran down and beat up Morrison, and Riley got punched out by Jerry Lawler! Punk was in the booth, by the way.
I absolutely loved the psychology of Sheamus kicking Morrison in the knee, and was a nice touch to throwback to last night. I loved how The Miz, after last night's championship defense, had to wrestle tonight.
Melina defeated Alicia Fox and Eve
This match was atrocious. This match was seriously one of the worst matches I've seen in a long time. They can't wrestle, and it was painfully obvious throughout. This was sad, considering last night I was marking out huge for the divas table match. Alicia Fox nearly killed Melina with a powerbomb in the corner of the ring. Eve managed to get some offense in and nearly kicked Alicia Fox's head off. A standing moonsault was hit, which should've got the win for Eve. Eve dove off the top rope, while Melina rolled up Alicia Fox to get the win. The finish was well done, but the rest of the match was nothing to remember, that's for sure.
Post match, Melina slapped the heck out of Natalya and it looked like it hurt.
Daniel Bryan defeated William Regal
I was shocked to see a pur wrestling match on Raw. Daniel Bryan was facing off with William Regal and there was some nice counters and mat wrestling here. It wasn't your standard Daniel Bryan match as Regal had his number for a good portion of this match up. At one point during this bout, Regal and Bryan exchanged a series of European Uppercuts which was impressive to say the least. Neither man could get the upper hand but eventually Bryan hooked in his crossface lock and Regal tapped. This was one of the better matches I've seen on Raw, and defeats one of the better mat technicians still going today.
Santino & Tamina defeated Ted Dibiase & Maryse
Dibiase and Santino did most of this match up and it wasn't half bad. Dibiase was ahead of the game, but Santino was able to set up a few moves and eventually was going for the Cobra but stopped short of hitting Maryse. Tamina gave Maryse a superkick and then went to the top rope and you guessed it, she shit a nice throwback, Superfly Splash in tribute of Jimmy Superfly Snuka and won the match! A good entertaining match up with some nice moves, but mostly a throwaway affair. It was entertaining though, I liked it, for a change.
John Cena was completely over with a Texas crowd. THis was seriously the loudest Cena crowd that I've seen in a long time, and why not? I guess we'll have to just deal with it.
Vickie Guerrero, of all people came down to the ring. Vickie was getting completely booed out of the building whenever she tried to talk. The crowd was completely going nuts with the "you suck" chants, and it was amazing. The crowd was just so amazed at this. Vickie wanted Jerry Lawler to give her an apology from last week. Lawler and Cena exchanged jokes about Vickie Guerrero's weight and it was hilarious, although a bit cheesy.
The general manager chimed in, and I was marking out huge for the possibilities of a Dolph Ziggler vs John Cena title match. But there was not title on the line, but heck, I was marking out huge for this one. I guess I'm having a good day or something because up to this point I was marking out huge for Monday Night Raw.
John Cena defeated Dolph Ziggler
Dolph Ziggler started this match really hot, stomping out Cena with every other move. He was doing some great work in ring, but Cena was finding ways to stop the onslaught of offense. John Cena pushed forward and the crowd was 100% behind him. Cena hit a nice Fisherman's Suplex and I was watching a new livelier Cena here, alongside a smart Dolph Ziggler, who was ducking and diving the traditional Cena offense. The two went back and forth with some high flying offense, some nice rest spots, and overall an entertaining match up that led to Ziggler countering the Attitude Adjustment at one point, and Cena blocking the Sleeper Hold in another. Ziggler hit a nice sideslam, and this match was getting hotter than a lot of matches out of the Raw year. Ziggler's dropkick to the jaw of Cena toward the end of this match was picture perfect, and I once again am saying that given the right opportunity, Ziggler can move to the main event with ease. Cena was not a one trick pony here, he hit his moves, but also was wise enough to counter some moves, and the crowd ate it up. The STF was locked in and Ziggler tapped but Vickie provided the distraction, which allowed ZIggler to hit the Zig Zag on Cena and nearly pinned Cena for the 3 count! I was going nuts at this point, you were going nuts if you watched this match, and these two were putting on a show. Dolph Ziggler took the padding off the corner of the ring, and grabbed the Intercontinental Belt but was no match for the attitude adjustment, and Cena went completely nuts as Cena took out the champion, which was just a compelling match up. 3 Stars easily.
Post match, CM Punk left the broadcast booth and hit John Cena with a chair and walked away. That's right, Punk struck against Cena, and walkd away. Is CM Punk ready to compete? I don't know, but it was interesting to say the least.
Dolph Ziggler challenged John Cena to a rematch on Smackdown tomorrow and Vickie threw herself into the match. Yep.
Jerry Lawler, Randy Orton, and John Morrison defeated The Miz, Alex Riley & Sheamus
This match started fast and furious, and I enjoyed it. The Miz played up his scared persona, and Sheamus eventually got the green light to go into the match. Lawler was the weak link here, with the monster heels mopping up the king with relative ease. Lawler would get a comeback and eventually tag in Morrison to get the sides even up. Sheamus and Morrison really work well together, and Alex Riley was just getting punished. Sheamus focused on the knee of Morrison and The Miz eventually came in and fought the weakened #1 contender. Towards the end, Randy Orton got the tag and he started unleashing on The MIz. He hit his DDT, He was on a roll and it looked like this one was over, but it wasn't mean to be just yet. Morrison took care of Sheamus, Lawler was out, Miz managed to get the upper hand after Riley took an RKO. Lawler got the tag and unleashed on Miz, and Orton hit an RKO on MIZ which let JERRY LAWLER GET THE PIN ON THE MIZ! I MARKED OUT HUGE! Lawler pinned The Miz!!! I kid you not! The Miz was pinned and all was said and done!
They plugged WWE Smackdown, and added a match for Smackdown. The Miz would wrestle Randy Orton!
A great Raw overall. There were a lot of good matches here, and some quality wrestling. WWE really tried hard to make this night a good one. I loved it, you probably liked it, and it was a nice piece of wrestling for a change.
Ok folks, if you're reading this please do me a favor and check out Amazon.com here and purchase something, your purchase will help this blog keep going, and maybe even let me get internet access at home so I'm not marking out huge at the library. I'll be back for more reviews, posts and what not tomorrow, for Smackdown!

WWE TLC 2010 PPV Review
Alright, the last WWE PPV of 2010, and anything could happen, so I was excited to see how the matches were going to go, and here is my review plus other random commentary by me.
Dolph Ziggler defeated Kofi Kingston and Jack Swagger in a triple threat Ladder Match
The match started hot, with a lot of focus being placed on Dolph Ziggler and once he was nuetralized, Swagger and Kofi fought each other but Ziggler came back into the ring and really put the boots to Kofi. At one point Swagger looked to hurt his right wrist, but it seemed to be ok. Ziggler and Kofi both were taking some sick bumps, and I'm surprised Ziggler wasn't busted open immediately because he took a shot to the face that just looked incredible. Kofi jumped through a ladder at one point, yes, through a ladder for a nice missile drop kick.
Vickie Guerrero got into the ring as all three men were knocked out, and I was marking out huge. Vickie was even getting a huge ovation for what she was doing, and I was aimpressed. Vickie was climbing to the top of the ladder and Kofi Kingston climbed up and signaled a heel turn but nope....VIckie was being tipped over and it looked like she was going to go over the top rope! The crowd went nuts for this, but Swagger came in and Ziggler came in and she wen away running! I was completely impressed with how many bumps the competitors were taking, at one point Swagger threw the ladder at Ziggler full force into his face, it looked sick. Even Kofi was bumping like crazy, and it was just impressive. I thought someone was going to legit get hurt, it was that bad, like a car crash, all three guys completely killed each other for the opening bout, it was about time, if you ask me.
Ziggler nearly got the belt, as Swagger and Kofi fought with an Ankle Lock hooked, but after Swagger was eliminated for a moment, Kofi and Ziggler fought each other at the top of the ladder and oh man, a sleeper hold was placed on Kofi and it looked like Kingston was done, but he managed to fight out of it, and of course the crowd was going nuts again. As Kofi nearly had the belt. Ziggler flew off the top, Kingston had this thing won, Swagger jumped in and climbed the ladder and Kofi and swagger were each one grabbing the belt and it fell!
ZIGGLER jumped at the belt and grabbed it and won! One of the better triple threat ladder matches I've seen and once again Ziggler retains! One of the best Intercontinental Champions in a long time, Ziggler managed to get this one, and took a serious beating. Seriously, he took a lot of damage and was able to win this one, amazing.
Beth Phoenix & Layla defeated Laycool in a Tag Team Tables Match
The divas were up next, and the two teams put on a decent match. The cameras kept cutting away when the women were close to the tables and were using them as a weapon, which was stupid. I guess the pg thing was tough to work around with so much violence. The tables weren't even a big deal for the most part, as Laycool was actually utilizing a lot of tag team moves to fight off their opponents. For once, I was actually impressed with Laycool. Beth Phoenix and natalya isolated Michelle McCool at one point and the two were about to throw her through a table, but were thwarted. Natalya and Phoenix took some sick bumps too, this is the first divas match that I actually cringed at some points as this was a legit contest of wrestling, which is amazing from the WWE women.
At one point, Michelle McCool kicked Phoenix straight into the face and she looked out cold, it was sick. Natalya eventually got both members of Laycool into a vulnerable position and locked in a double sharpshooter!!!! I KID YOU NOT! I was marking out huge for this. BOth women in a the sharpshooter tapping out like drunk women, it was amazing, I was marking out huge for the divas, for ones marking out huge. Beth Phoenix and Natalya eventually got locked into a numbers game as Laycool kept focusing on one woman, and got the upper hand, but it was Natalya that threw laycool on a table, and she got to the top rope and leaped onto both women in a nice splash and won this match! LAYCOOL went through a table, and you know what, this was DIVAS MATCH of the YEAR, DIVAS MATCH OF THE YEAR! For once, I was impressed with the divas, wow, what a match.
Santino & Kozlov defeated Nexus (Justin gabriel & Heath Slater) via DQ
Nexus lost this one, even though they had this thing going their way for a good part of the match. McGullicutty interfered and caused the dq finish, but this match wasn't half bad. I like Kozlov and Santino as a comedy act, and they are way over with the live crowd.
Post match, Nexus beat the living crap out of the tag team champions, and that was that.
John Morrison defeated Sheamus in a Ladder Match
This match started off slow, but Morrison picked up the pace with his high flying offense. He even at one point did a corkscrew over the top of a ladder off the third rope onto Sheamus, it was insane. I kid you not, that thing looked amazing, and Morrison is proof that you don't need to talk well to wrestle well. Sheamus managed to add some major offense against Morrison and focused on the knee of Morrison. The ladder came into play and once again, I was impressed at how much these two bumped. The psychology of this in ring match was great, Sheamus focusing on Morrison's leg was really good and something that the WWE hasn't been utilizing in matches in a long time.
A drop toe hold landed Sheamus's face into the ladder, and i was hoping and wishing that the WWE would allow blood. A bloody Sheamus would've been amazing here as he took a stiff shot to the face with the Ladd. Morrison nearly knocked him out with a nice kick, but it was short lived, because Sheamus hit the Irish Curse Back Breaker and things weren't looking for Morrison. Morrison threw a ladder at Sheamus's head and I was completely marking out huge, because this thing looked brutal.
Morrison fell on his knee towards the end of this match, and Sheamus and him fought on top of the ladder to get the contract, but the two were just fighting and fighting, and Sheamus kept hanging in there, even though Morrison seemed to be the weaker man in this match. The two guys were completely impressive here, and no matter how close each other got, the other had an answer, which was awesome. This was a great great Ladder Match, far better than the 1998 ladder match between The Rock and Triple H.
Morrison took some nasty spills towards the end of the match. It didn't look like he could pull himself together to win here, and Sheamus couldn't stop the guy from continually comingback for more punishment.
Sheamus was thrown off the top of a ladder with John Morrison through a STEEL LADDER! Morrison jumped off too, but holy crap, holy crap, Sheamus was completely broken in half here, and Morrison was barely walking. Holy crap, Sheamus completely got blown out with a nice kick to the face as the ladder was teetering and Morrison won, holy crap, holy crap. Match of the year here, holy crap holy crap, Morrison and Sheamus put on a 4 star classic folks, holy crap, holy crap.
The Miz defeated Randy Orton in a wwe title tables match
Randy Orton started this match hard, and he was fighting forward fast, with no major offense from Miz or Riley. Randy Orton was completely dominant in the first part of this match up, and was first to set up a table, but that was his undoing, at least the first part. Miz dropkicked a table into Orton and the pendulum swung in the other direction. The Miz was actually looking strong against orton in the mid-point of this match, which was interesting.
In what was one of the smartest moves I've seen in wrestling, a ref bump happened, and that let Alex Riley to come in and get powerbombed through a table! Miz then hit the Skull Crushing Finale on Orton and dragged him to where Riley went through the table, woke up the ref and BOOOM won the match! Right out of the page of Eddie Guerrero, what a great short cut, oh man, Miz wins, and boy oh boy what a finish, I loved it.
But the ref restarted the match!!!!
Orton restarted the match like a house on fire, and beat up Miz, but Miz threw Riley through the middle of the ropes while Orton was on the apron and BOOOM, Orton falls through a table! HOLY CRAP! GREATER FINISH! THE MIZ RETAINS and the kids are saddened! Wow! WoW! what a finish, I loved it, I absolutely loved it, wow.
Edge defeated Kane and Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio in a fatal four way tlc match
This match started much like other matches, fast and with great impact. Towards the middle of the match it was Del rio and Mysterio that took center stage, and it was painfully obvious that Del Rio was scared of bumping with the ladder. At one point it even looked like he was injured at one point with the ladder. Meanwhile, Mysterio, Edge and Kane had no problems taking some serious bumps into and onto the ladder. Edge and Mysterio provided a lot of the fast paced wrestling, and it was interesting to see them work a legit match instead of random opponents.
Kane still sucks, and he was the worst point of this match for me. I didn't like it, but Del Rio's timid nature was a close second. Del Rio eventually got used to getting hit with the ladders and took some nice bumps, but it took him a good part of this match to get his bearings. Kane was teamed up on at one point, and then Del Rio got his. Edge nearly killed himself at one point diving off the top of a ladder through Kane through a table and hitting the outside barrier head first! Edge gave it all, wow.
The four men eventually left the ringside area and were fighting on the ramp. Mysterio got onto a table on the stage and launched off of one and into Kane...it was an awkward leap. Mysterio then ran into the ring and I thought he was going to get the belt, but nope. Edge blocked a 619 with a steel chair! Smart move! I thought Edge was going to win at the mid-point of this match. Rey Mysterio and Edge flew off the tallest ladder and onto the floor which nearly killed em, I couldn't believe it. At this point, Ricardo Rodriguez started climbing the ladder! Yep, he climbed the ladder and was nearly at the belt when Kane showed up! Yep! Kane showed up and well, chokeslammed him straight to Hell! Then Del Rio was chokeslammed straight to hell! Then Edge, yep, chokeslammed straight to hell through a table! Rey was able to hit a 619 on Kane, then threw a chair at him, and once again Rey Mysterio was left alone with the ladders and maybe he could win the championship! I was marking out huge as a big Rey Mysterio fan, and he was alone and had energy! HOLY CRAP I was marking out huge as his hand hit the belt, but Del Rio managed to fight him.
Del Rio was on top of the tallest ladder and he went threw a table on the outside, and it looked like he got the wind knocked out of him and it was brutal. It looked sick, he fell what seemed like forever through a table. Mysterio got caught in mid air and boom, Tombstone piledriver, and Kane was the only one left with any strength at this point, and his head was bleeding. Everything looked easy towards the end for Kane and I didn't want him to win. He seemed to be poised to retain, and was nearly to the top of the ladder when Edge ran in with a chair and stopped his forward momentum. Kane was speared off the apron through a table and there was only one man left....EDGE.
Edge climbed the ladder and pulled the title down, to wint the World Heavyweight Championship, and the crowd went nuts, and so did I. I went nuts for Edge, he really gave it all. Props to Del Rio for falling a million feet through a solo table, it lookd bad, it looked bad.
Dashing Cody Rhodes came out and talked randomly in ring and out came The Big Show dressed as Santa. He was giving out copies of Knucklehead. Big Show ended up beating up Dashing Cody Rhodes, and leaving him in ring completely torn apart except for his underwear. The crowd loved it, I didn't hate it. Big Show is hilarious.
John Cena defeated Wade Barrett in a chairs match
Cm Punk joined the announce team here. This match was in fact the main event, and no titles were on the line. John Cena and Barrett wrestled to a stale mate for the early goings of this match. Cena hit a nice DDT on Wade Barrett and this match was swinging fully into John Cena's favor. The crowd was completely in love with Cena and it was completely audible, and if I were 8 years old, I'd be the biggest John Cena fan.
Barrett was first to attack with the chair, and it was ok, but without chairshots to the head, I don't really care about the stipulation. The two battled their way to the top of the ramp and were brawling, and eventually they got some chairs and came back in the ring. Cena hit a sick leg drop with a chair under it, kind of like the Sabu special, and Barrett looked like he was going to win this one easily.
John Cena set up 6 chairs and lifted Barrett on his shoulders then gave him the Attitude Adjustment through 6 chairs! I kid you not, the bump looked nice, and Wade Barrett was essentially put to rest, he was done folks, Cena wins yet again. Super John Cena, and I didn't hate it nearly as much. Cena wins. Now who does he have left to fight? No one.
Post match, Wade Barrett was crawling out of the ring, literally, crawling up the ramp, and out ran John Cena and hit Barrett with another chair shot, much to the dismay of Cm Punk. Cena than put some sort of wooden thing on top of barrett and then pulled a wall of chairs from the rafters crashing down onto Barrett! Yep. TLC ends with Super John Cena smiling, waving, saluting, drinking water, and kissing babies. He wins. Wow.
A quality, PPV, great one.
You can purchase WWE TLC 2009 PPV on DVD for now, and wait for this one to come out on dvd. Wow...what an event. I loved it, for once.

Alright, the last WWE PPV of 2010, and anything could happen, so I was excited to see how the matches were going to go, and here is my review plus other random commentary by me.
Dolph Ziggler defeated Kofi Kingston and Jack Swagger in a triple threat Ladder Match
The match started hot, with a lot of focus being placed on Dolph Ziggler and once he was nuetralized, Swagger and Kofi fought each other but Ziggler came back into the ring and really put the boots to Kofi. At one point Swagger looked to hurt his right wrist, but it seemed to be ok. Ziggler and Kofi both were taking some sick bumps, and I'm surprised Ziggler wasn't busted open immediately because he took a shot to the face that just looked incredible. Kofi jumped through a ladder at one point, yes, through a ladder for a nice missile drop kick.
Vickie Guerrero got into the ring as all three men were knocked out, and I was marking out huge. Vickie was even getting a huge ovation for what she was doing, and I was aimpressed. Vickie was climbing to the top of the ladder and Kofi Kingston climbed up and signaled a heel turn but nope....VIckie was being tipped over and it looked like she was going to go over the top rope! The crowd went nuts for this, but Swagger came in and Ziggler came in and she wen away running! I was completely impressed with how many bumps the competitors were taking, at one point Swagger threw the ladder at Ziggler full force into his face, it looked sick. Even Kofi was bumping like crazy, and it was just impressive. I thought someone was going to legit get hurt, it was that bad, like a car crash, all three guys completely killed each other for the opening bout, it was about time, if you ask me.
Ziggler nearly got the belt, as Swagger and Kofi fought with an Ankle Lock hooked, but after Swagger was eliminated for a moment, Kofi and Ziggler fought each other at the top of the ladder and oh man, a sleeper hold was placed on Kofi and it looked like Kingston was done, but he managed to fight out of it, and of course the crowd was going nuts again. As Kofi nearly had the belt. Ziggler flew off the top, Kingston had this thing won, Swagger jumped in and climbed the ladder and Kofi and swagger were each one grabbing the belt and it fell!
ZIGGLER jumped at the belt and grabbed it and won! One of the better triple threat ladder matches I've seen and once again Ziggler retains! One of the best Intercontinental Champions in a long time, Ziggler managed to get this one, and took a serious beating. Seriously, he took a lot of damage and was able to win this one, amazing.
Beth Phoenix & Layla defeated Laycool in a Tag Team Tables Match
The divas were up next, and the two teams put on a decent match. The cameras kept cutting away when the women were close to the tables and were using them as a weapon, which was stupid. I guess the pg thing was tough to work around with so much violence. The tables weren't even a big deal for the most part, as Laycool was actually utilizing a lot of tag team moves to fight off their opponents. For once, I was actually impressed with Laycool. Beth Phoenix and natalya isolated Michelle McCool at one point and the two were about to throw her through a table, but were thwarted. Natalya and Phoenix took some sick bumps too, this is the first divas match that I actually cringed at some points as this was a legit contest of wrestling, which is amazing from the WWE women.
At one point, Michelle McCool kicked Phoenix straight into the face and she looked out cold, it was sick. Natalya eventually got both members of Laycool into a vulnerable position and locked in a double sharpshooter!!!! I KID YOU NOT! I was marking out huge for this. BOth women in a the sharpshooter tapping out like drunk women, it was amazing, I was marking out huge for the divas, for ones marking out huge. Beth Phoenix and Natalya eventually got locked into a numbers game as Laycool kept focusing on one woman, and got the upper hand, but it was Natalya that threw laycool on a table, and she got to the top rope and leaped onto both women in a nice splash and won this match! LAYCOOL went through a table, and you know what, this was DIVAS MATCH of the YEAR, DIVAS MATCH OF THE YEAR! For once, I was impressed with the divas, wow, what a match.
Santino & Kozlov defeated Nexus (Justin gabriel & Heath Slater) via DQ
Nexus lost this one, even though they had this thing going their way for a good part of the match. McGullicutty interfered and caused the dq finish, but this match wasn't half bad. I like Kozlov and Santino as a comedy act, and they are way over with the live crowd.
Post match, Nexus beat the living crap out of the tag team champions, and that was that.
John Morrison defeated Sheamus in a Ladder Match
This match started off slow, but Morrison picked up the pace with his high flying offense. He even at one point did a corkscrew over the top of a ladder off the third rope onto Sheamus, it was insane. I kid you not, that thing looked amazing, and Morrison is proof that you don't need to talk well to wrestle well. Sheamus managed to add some major offense against Morrison and focused on the knee of Morrison. The ladder came into play and once again, I was impressed at how much these two bumped. The psychology of this in ring match was great, Sheamus focusing on Morrison's leg was really good and something that the WWE hasn't been utilizing in matches in a long time.
A drop toe hold landed Sheamus's face into the ladder, and i was hoping and wishing that the WWE would allow blood. A bloody Sheamus would've been amazing here as he took a stiff shot to the face with the Ladd. Morrison nearly knocked him out with a nice kick, but it was short lived, because Sheamus hit the Irish Curse Back Breaker and things weren't looking for Morrison. Morrison threw a ladder at Sheamus's head and I was completely marking out huge, because this thing looked brutal.
Morrison fell on his knee towards the end of this match, and Sheamus and him fought on top of the ladder to get the contract, but the two were just fighting and fighting, and Sheamus kept hanging in there, even though Morrison seemed to be the weaker man in this match. The two guys were completely impressive here, and no matter how close each other got, the other had an answer, which was awesome. This was a great great Ladder Match, far better than the 1998 ladder match between The Rock and Triple H.
Morrison took some nasty spills towards the end of the match. It didn't look like he could pull himself together to win here, and Sheamus couldn't stop the guy from continually comingback for more punishment.
Sheamus was thrown off the top of a ladder with John Morrison through a STEEL LADDER! Morrison jumped off too, but holy crap, holy crap, Sheamus was completely broken in half here, and Morrison was barely walking. Holy crap, Sheamus completely got blown out with a nice kick to the face as the ladder was teetering and Morrison won, holy crap, holy crap. Match of the year here, holy crap holy crap, Morrison and Sheamus put on a 4 star classic folks, holy crap, holy crap.
The Miz defeated Randy Orton in a wwe title tables match
Randy Orton started this match hard, and he was fighting forward fast, with no major offense from Miz or Riley. Randy Orton was completely dominant in the first part of this match up, and was first to set up a table, but that was his undoing, at least the first part. Miz dropkicked a table into Orton and the pendulum swung in the other direction. The Miz was actually looking strong against orton in the mid-point of this match, which was interesting.
In what was one of the smartest moves I've seen in wrestling, a ref bump happened, and that let Alex Riley to come in and get powerbombed through a table! Miz then hit the Skull Crushing Finale on Orton and dragged him to where Riley went through the table, woke up the ref and BOOOM won the match! Right out of the page of Eddie Guerrero, what a great short cut, oh man, Miz wins, and boy oh boy what a finish, I loved it.
But the ref restarted the match!!!!
Orton restarted the match like a house on fire, and beat up Miz, but Miz threw Riley through the middle of the ropes while Orton was on the apron and BOOOM, Orton falls through a table! HOLY CRAP! GREATER FINISH! THE MIZ RETAINS and the kids are saddened! Wow! WoW! what a finish, I loved it, I absolutely loved it, wow.
Edge defeated Kane and Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio in a fatal four way tlc match
This match started much like other matches, fast and with great impact. Towards the middle of the match it was Del rio and Mysterio that took center stage, and it was painfully obvious that Del Rio was scared of bumping with the ladder. At one point it even looked like he was injured at one point with the ladder. Meanwhile, Mysterio, Edge and Kane had no problems taking some serious bumps into and onto the ladder. Edge and Mysterio provided a lot of the fast paced wrestling, and it was interesting to see them work a legit match instead of random opponents.
Kane still sucks, and he was the worst point of this match for me. I didn't like it, but Del Rio's timid nature was a close second. Del Rio eventually got used to getting hit with the ladders and took some nice bumps, but it took him a good part of this match to get his bearings. Kane was teamed up on at one point, and then Del Rio got his. Edge nearly killed himself at one point diving off the top of a ladder through Kane through a table and hitting the outside barrier head first! Edge gave it all, wow.
The four men eventually left the ringside area and were fighting on the ramp. Mysterio got onto a table on the stage and launched off of one and into Kane...it was an awkward leap. Mysterio then ran into the ring and I thought he was going to get the belt, but nope. Edge blocked a 619 with a steel chair! Smart move! I thought Edge was going to win at the mid-point of this match. Rey Mysterio and Edge flew off the tallest ladder and onto the floor which nearly killed em, I couldn't believe it. At this point, Ricardo Rodriguez started climbing the ladder! Yep, he climbed the ladder and was nearly at the belt when Kane showed up! Yep! Kane showed up and well, chokeslammed him straight to Hell! Then Del Rio was chokeslammed straight to hell! Then Edge, yep, chokeslammed straight to hell through a table! Rey was able to hit a 619 on Kane, then threw a chair at him, and once again Rey Mysterio was left alone with the ladders and maybe he could win the championship! I was marking out huge as a big Rey Mysterio fan, and he was alone and had energy! HOLY CRAP I was marking out huge as his hand hit the belt, but Del Rio managed to fight him.
Del Rio was on top of the tallest ladder and he went threw a table on the outside, and it looked like he got the wind knocked out of him and it was brutal. It looked sick, he fell what seemed like forever through a table. Mysterio got caught in mid air and boom, Tombstone piledriver, and Kane was the only one left with any strength at this point, and his head was bleeding. Everything looked easy towards the end for Kane and I didn't want him to win. He seemed to be poised to retain, and was nearly to the top of the ladder when Edge ran in with a chair and stopped his forward momentum. Kane was speared off the apron through a table and there was only one man left....EDGE.
Edge climbed the ladder and pulled the title down, to wint the World Heavyweight Championship, and the crowd went nuts, and so did I. I went nuts for Edge, he really gave it all. Props to Del Rio for falling a million feet through a solo table, it lookd bad, it looked bad.
Dashing Cody Rhodes came out and talked randomly in ring and out came The Big Show dressed as Santa. He was giving out copies of Knucklehead. Big Show ended up beating up Dashing Cody Rhodes, and leaving him in ring completely torn apart except for his underwear. The crowd loved it, I didn't hate it. Big Show is hilarious.
John Cena defeated Wade Barrett in a chairs match
Cm Punk joined the announce team here. This match was in fact the main event, and no titles were on the line. John Cena and Barrett wrestled to a stale mate for the early goings of this match. Cena hit a nice DDT on Wade Barrett and this match was swinging fully into John Cena's favor. The crowd was completely in love with Cena and it was completely audible, and if I were 8 years old, I'd be the biggest John Cena fan.
Barrett was first to attack with the chair, and it was ok, but without chairshots to the head, I don't really care about the stipulation. The two battled their way to the top of the ramp and were brawling, and eventually they got some chairs and came back in the ring. Cena hit a sick leg drop with a chair under it, kind of like the Sabu special, and Barrett looked like he was going to win this one easily.
John Cena set up 6 chairs and lifted Barrett on his shoulders then gave him the Attitude Adjustment through 6 chairs! I kid you not, the bump looked nice, and Wade Barrett was essentially put to rest, he was done folks, Cena wins yet again. Super John Cena, and I didn't hate it nearly as much. Cena wins. Now who does he have left to fight? No one.
Post match, Wade Barrett was crawling out of the ring, literally, crawling up the ramp, and out ran John Cena and hit Barrett with another chair shot, much to the dismay of Cm Punk. Cena than put some sort of wooden thing on top of barrett and then pulled a wall of chairs from the rafters crashing down onto Barrett! Yep. TLC ends with Super John Cena smiling, waving, saluting, drinking water, and kissing babies. He wins. Wow.
A quality, PPV, great one.
You can purchase WWE TLC 2009 PPV on DVD for now, and wait for this one to come out on dvd. Wow...what an event. I loved it, for once.

The Slammy For Guest Star Shining Moment Goes To:
Pee Wee Herman

I don't even remember anything about this year.
Randy Orton defeated David Arquette & Alex Riley

WWE Monday Night Raw 11/29/10 Results
Alberto Del Rio defeated Daniel Bryan
John Morrison defeated Cody Rhodes
Drew McIntyre vs. Ezekiel Jackson double count out
Sheamus defeated Kofi Kingston
Yoshi Tatsu & Mark Henry defeated Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater
John Morrison defeated Alberto Del Rio
Natalya & Friends defeated The Bad Girls
Sheamus defeated John Morrison to become the King of the Ring
The Miz defeated Jerry Lawler in a TLC match
WWE Monday Night Raw 11/29/10 Review
The king of the ring tournament was tonight and opened up with Alex Riley saying that a party is in order. Cm Punk is back in the booth for a 3 man raw announce team. The opening match would prove to start the night off right.
Alberto Del Rio defeated Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan really put on a match with Alberto Del Rio, and both men proved to be interesting to watch. Del Rio was really pushing around Daniel in this matchup, and after the halfway point, I wasn't sure if Daniel Bryan could come back from the beat down he was receiving. Bryan's picture perfect back suplex with a bridge was amazing, even if he didn't get the pinfall. Del Rio and Bryan were putting on a clinic of how pro-wrestling should be, and had the crowd going for quite some time. Once again, Bryan dove through the middle rope onto the outside and it looked like once again, he hurt his shoulder. Del Rio side stepped the missile dropkick, and Del Rio got his submission move and won the match! This was a classic wrestling match with lots of great moments, and Del Rio moves forward, I enjoyed it greatly.
R Truth challenged any member of Nexus to go one on one. Backstage, John Cena beat up McGullicutty...it was an interesting pov type camera angle too.
John Morrison defeated Cody Rhodes
This match was quite fast, and Cody Rhodes folded over and lost. Cody made a quick mistake and Morrison made him pay. This was an interesting bout, even if it seemed like a burial. MOrrison cut his lip wide open, and he was bleeding after the match, but he moves forward.
Drew McIntyre vs. Ezekiel Jackson double count out
These two fought to a double countout, which is strange, since Zeke has been on a roll as of late, and McIntyre is on his way to getting fired, if you ask me. Not a great match, not a terrible match, and the double countout means someone gets a bye.
The Miz cut a promo, and it wasn't half bad. Jerry Lawler got on the mic to retort though. Michael Cole tried to stop Jerry Lawler from getting involved with the Miz, cause he might get beat up.
It was announced that Lawler will fight Miz in a wwe title TLC match in the main event.
Sheamus defeated Kofi Kingston
Kofi put on a lot of great moves here, and it wasn't a burial match. It was relatively short, but it was easy for Sheamus. Kofi hit "Thunder in Paradise" which looked great, but Sheamus managed to comeback and hit the "bro-kick" on Kofi, and that was that. Sheamus moves forward.
Yoshi Tatsu & Mark Henry defeated Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater
Mark Henry and Yoshi Tatsu had their hands full during this match, as the Nexus members were making quick work of the makeshift team. Mid-match, John Cena came down and walkd through the crowd with tickets in hand! He then sat down with tickets in the front row! Once again WWE rehashed the Matt Hardy storyline...sadly. Nexus then had some hard times with Mark Henry, who was dominating the smaller men with ease. Mark Henry got the pinfall, and Cena ran in to get an AA on Slater, through a table and spilling Cm Punk's diet soda!!
John Morrison defeated Alberto Del Rio
Del Rio seemed poised to win this match up, and it looked like a done deal at one point, but Del Rio was distracted by Rey Mysterio and BOOOM John Morrison knocked him out and won! Morrison and Sheamus are in the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament!
Wade Barrett got on the mic but was surprised to see John Cena beat up Nexus and then hitting Justin Gabriel with an AA onto a car hood! WOO! Cena wants Nexus vs Cena in a thunderdome cage match, if you ask me...Uncensored 2010! BOOK IT!
Natalya & Friends defeated The Bad Girls
ANother terrible six man tag team match. Lame. The Divas are the worst.
Sheamus defeated John Morrison to become the King of the Ring
Sheamus didn't just roll over for Morrison. Morrison put on a good amount of action against the Celtic Warrior, but Sheamus outlasted the rock star and finished off Morrison to win the match. Not a great match, but impressive none the less, winning two matches. King Sheamus, not half bad. No sign of Triple H, that'd have been huge, but that's fine.
I'm not sure why I didn't see this one coming, I thought for some odd reason that Del Rio could get far in the tournament, but I guess it was telegraphed that Morrison and Sheamus would fight in the finals. If history does in fact repeat itself yet again, we'll see more from Morrison and Sheamus including a cage match somewhere down the line...just watch.
The Miz defeated Jerry Lawler in a TLC match
I wasn't sure if Lawler could actually win this one, but it could in fact happen. The Miz was dominant early on, and was just beating the crap out of King Lawler, and it started to look sad. Then King changed things up, with a steel chair, the equalizer! He bent a chair on the back of Miz and started a comeback trail against the MIz. Alex Riley got involved at several points in the match, and after some fight, he got punched out and thrown threw a TABLE! Lawler was definitely not getting buried in this match, that's for sure, and the crowd even started chanting Jerry at one point. Miz got socked out huge from the top rope, and he FLEW, I swear, FLEW through a table! The crowd went nuts, I marked out huge! King actually looked like he could win. Michael Cole at one point left the announce booth and tried to revive the MIz at one point. CM Punk was left on the mic alone, Lawler was crawling to the top getting the world title! Miz was out, Alex Riley was out, Michael COle stopped King from getting the belt! MICHAEL COLE STOPPED JERRY LAWLER! Lawler beat the crap out of Michael Cole and the MIz got back up and the two were fighting on top of the ladder for the WWE TITLE!!!! This match was stellar, I was going nuts for this match, and this was completely believable! I was marking out huge as the two fought for the title on top of the ladder, Lawler eventually fell off the top and Miz got the belt, winning...one of the BEST main events on WWE television this year! I kid you not, this was THAT good!
Great overall night in wrestling and that main event was just fabulous. CM Punk on the mic was great, Miz took some sick bumps, Cole getting beat up, oh man, so much greatness at the end of this show. I loved it, I absolutely loved it. Wow, what a night!

Mid-match, John Cena came down and walkd through the crowd with tickets in hand! He then sat down with tickets in the front row! Once again WWE rehashed the Matt Hardy storyline...sadly. Nexus then had some hard times with Mark Henry, who was dominating the smaller men with ease. Mark Henry got the pinfall, and Cena ran in to get an AA on Slater, through a table and spilling Cm Punk's diet soda!!
John Morrison defeated Alberto Del Rio
Del Rio seemed poised to win this match up, and it looked like a done deal at one point, but Del Rio was distracted by Rey Mysterio and BOOOM John Morrison knocked him out and won! Morrison and Sheamus are in the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament!
Wade Barrett got on the mic but was surprised to see John Cena beat up Nexus and then hitting Justin Gabriel with an AA onto a car hood! WOO! Cena wants Nexus vs Cena in a thunderdome cage match, if you ask me...Uncensored 2010! BOOK IT!
Natalya & Friends defeated The Bad Girls
ANother terrible six man tag team match. Lame. The Divas are the worst.
Sheamus defeated John Morrison to become the King of the Ring
Sheamus didn't just roll over for Morrison. Morrison put on a good amount of action against the Celtic Warrior, but Sheamus outlasted the rock star and finished off Morrison to win the match. Not a great match, but impressive none the less, winning two matches. King Sheamus, not half bad. No sign of Triple H, that'd have been huge, but that's fine.
I'm not sure why I didn't see this one coming, I thought for some odd reason that Del Rio could get far in the tournament, but I guess it was telegraphed that Morrison and Sheamus would fight in the finals. If history does in fact repeat itself yet again, we'll see more from Morrison and Sheamus including a cage match somewhere down the line...just watch.
The Miz defeated Jerry Lawler in a TLC match
I wasn't sure if Lawler could actually win this one, but it could in fact happen. The Miz was dominant early on, and was just beating the crap out of King Lawler, and it started to look sad. Then King changed things up, with a steel chair, the equalizer! He bent a chair on the back of Miz and started a comeback trail against the MIz. Alex Riley got involved at several points in the match, and after some fight, he got punched out and thrown threw a TABLE! Lawler was definitely not getting buried in this match, that's for sure, and the crowd even started chanting Jerry at one point. Miz got socked out huge from the top rope, and he FLEW, I swear, FLEW through a table! The crowd went nuts, I marked out huge! King actually looked like he could win. Michael Cole at one point left the announce booth and tried to revive the MIz at one point. CM Punk was left on the mic alone, Lawler was crawling to the top getting the world title! Miz was out, Alex Riley was out, Michael COle stopped King from getting the belt! MICHAEL COLE STOPPED JERRY LAWLER! Lawler beat the crap out of Michael Cole and the MIz got back up and the two were fighting on top of the ladder for the WWE TITLE!!!! This match was stellar, I was going nuts for this match, and this was completely believable! I was marking out huge as the two fought for the title on top of the ladder, Lawler eventually fell off the top and Miz got the belt, winning...one of the BEST main events on WWE television this year! I kid you not, this was THAT good!
Great overall night in wrestling and that main event was just fabulous. CM Punk on the mic was great, Miz took some sick bumps, Cole getting beat up, oh man, so much greatness at the end of this show. I loved it, I absolutely loved it. Wow, what a night!

WWE Monday Night Raw 11/22/10 Review
One night after Survivor Series, and we get this night of Raw...after Survivor Series, I was completely left dumbfounded, and could only imagine what was going to go down...so here it goes, how it happened:
Nexus was in ring talking trash. The imaginary general manager chimed in, and wanted to talk, and he said that Wade Barrett will face off against Randy Orton for the WWE title....TONIGHT!
Wade Barrett said that he will allow John Cena to come back to Raw tonight.
Next week will be the King of The Ring tournament. Cm Punk was on the color commentary tonight and it was great, Punk on the mic and on the headset is amazing.
Sheamus defeated R Truth
Sheamus was aggressive and made the pace of this match really good, and it wasn't half bad. Sheamus is a massive guy and it showed when he wrestled a much leaner R Truth. Truth hit some nice spots, and top rope hits, but it was the HIGH CROSS that hit Truth into the mat and he lost this one. Sheamus moves on to the King of the Ring tournament. This was no burial, there were some nice spots here, and both men put on a good amount of offensive before it was all said and done.
Ezekiel Jackson defeated Alex Riley
Riley got squashed completely, and Jackson wins with ease. I don't care.
John Cena gave his last speech and the crowd was completely split in half. It was completely uproarious, and that was that. I guess Cena is officially out for now. I don't know why.
Daniel Bryan defeated Ted Dibiase
This match was good again, and Bryan proved yet again that he has what it takes to be in WWE. This wasn't as good as last night, but it still had a good amount of impact. He will now qualify for the King of the RIng tournament, and now the Bella Twins are all over Bryan...lucky, lucky dude.
Natalya defeated Alicia Fox
Terrible match, but I guess that's expected.
Morrison defeated Tyson Kidd
Kidd sucks. Morrison breezed through this one, and that was that. Not much here.
Randy Orton was headed out to the ring for his match and Nexus attacked him. They beat him up completely, and left him for dead! That's right, Nexus was completely dominant here, ambushing Orton. No one came to his rescue either, the ref's forced Nexus back, but the damage was done.
Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett
Orton came out for this match and his knee was hurt, and it showed. Barrett cruised through the majority of this match and Orton looked like he was completely lost here. Wade nearly had this won, but out of the crowd ran JOHN CENA, beat up Wade Barett and ORTON WON THE MATCH! ORTON WINS!
The crowd was all over this match, and the run in was awesome. Orton defeats Wade Barrett again, and I'm left wondering who is left to challenge for the WWE title, but whatever...what a good overall match up.
Then we heard...none other than....
AWESOME! I CAME TO PLAY! HE CASHED IN THE MONEY IN THE BANK BRIEFCASE!!!!
THE MIZ defeated Randy Orton
I marked out huge, I was going completely nuts for this. Alex Riley was at ring side. Orton was attacking Orton right away, and this thing was taking off! I was marking out huge! THE RKO seemed easy and it was nearly hit but NO, THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE was hiT and THE MIZ WINS! THE MIZ IS THE NEW WWE CHAMPION! THE MIZ THE MIZ THE MIZ AWESOME!
BEST RAW ENDING EVER!
THE MIZ WINS! THE MIZ THE MIZ!
AWESOME! I CAME TO PLAY! Wow!

WWE Survivor Series 2010 Results
Daniel Bryan defeated Ted Dibiase Jr.
John Morrison defeated Sheamus
Dolph Ziggler defeated Kaval
Team Rey Mysterio defeated Team Del Rio
Natalya defeated Laycool
Edge & Kane were counted out
Nexus defeated Santino & Kozlov
Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett w/ John Cena as ref
WWE Survivor Series 2010 Review
I've been looking forward to this night for quite sometime, just to see how the WWE would finish off the feud with Cena and Nexus.
The show opened up with the U.S. Title match, and the most interesting thing I saw at first was Maryse. Wow, Maryse is hot, and she keeps glowing, just like she was in her playboy photos...wow.
Daniel Bryan defeated Ted Dibiase Jr.
This match was a great back and forth opener. Daniel Bryan led Ted Dibiase to his best match yet, and it never looked bad. Every spot, every move had impact and Daniel Bryan was looking hurt. There were so many picture perfect moves, including a super backplex, a reversal of the Million Dollar Dream from the corner, countless reversals, and just so much more. I really enjoyed the match, and it was a shining opener for sure.
Post match, The Miz ran down with the Money in the Bank briefcase and knocked out Daniel Bryan. At first I thought he was going to cash in. The Miz cut a promo against the Nexus and Lebron James.
John Morrison defeated Sheamus
Sheamus and John Morrison put on an ok match, but it wasn't exactly a four star classic. The match had some good back and forth points, and after the "Bro" kick missed (yes i know it's not spelled that way, but I hate sheamus), Morrison caught Sheamus with a nice kick to the face off the springboard in the corner, and won this match up. Like I said, this wasn't a great match, but Morrison getting the win was welcomed nicely.
Dolph Ziggler defeated Kaval
Not exactly a great match up, but it had some nice back and forth action from both men. Kaval really pushed the limits of Dolph's flexibility from time to time, and it wasn't a strict burial at all. The match was ok, but not necessarily a good thing for Kaval, as he keeps losing, and his streak of losses continues. Dolph had what appeared to be a broken nose, as this match was physical. I liked it well enough, it kind of took the crowd out of it though.
Team Rey Mysterio defeated Team Del Rio
This match up was fun to watch. I love these classic Survivor Series matches and I remember fondly the original nights of Survivor Series in the late 80's and early 90's as being classics. So this match had all the great moments you'd expect with great interaction from all members. I loved it. Mysterio and Big Show walked away victorious, making this match up a good way to bring the crowd back from the Ziggler and Kaval match up.
Natalya defeated Laycool
This match was ok, not a great one. Laycool put up a good overall fight, not a classic by any stretch.
Post match Laycool beat up Natalya, but out came Beth Phoenix! Yep. That was the end of that.
Edge & Kane were counted out
This match ended with Edge and Kane's shoulders on the mat, so they both lose? I don't know...it was a crappy ending and the match wasn't even that good. Kane retains, but what a terrible match and ending.
Nexus defeated Santino & Kozlov
This had your standard comedic elements and overall minutia of wrestling. There wasn't much to it, and it was nice to see Kozlov and Santino nearly get the win, but it when it was all said and done, Nexus wins and retains their title.
Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett w/ John Cena as ref
One of the most boring matches took place here. All the build up and little to no real controversy for the most part. The crowd was even dead for this match up, and it just was a terrible build. This was NOT an exciting match up, it was dead for a good amount of it, and despite the back and forth nature of the match, it was just lackluster somehow. The action spilled to the outside, and then quickly went back into the ring, and out of nowhere the RKO after Cena accidentally bumped into Wade Barrett.
NO CENA TURN! Wade loses. This match sucks. What a terrible terrbile match, what a terrible turn of events. I think Cena is fired...oh well. Man, what a terrible terrible way to finish up months and months of build. This was stupid. Seriously wwe? seriously?
If you saw it, you hated it too.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/22/10 Results
Big Show, Kofi Kingston, and Rey Mysterio defeated Ezekiel Jackson, Sheamus, and The Miz

Alberto Del Rio defeated John Morrison

Natalya & Kelly Kelly (i think) defeated Laycool
Randy Orton defeated Kane
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/22/10 Review
The show started with both Bragging Rights team and Teddy said that the superstars will make the matches tonight. The Miz got on the mic and cut a promo, and that was that...setting up matches...you'll read/see what they were.
Big Show, Kofi Kingston, and Rey Mysterio defeated Ezekiel Jackson, Sheamus, and The Miz
The night sounded interesting, and the match opened up with a good clash of styles. Sheamus and Mysterio started this match and it was quite good, and I was impressed for once with Sheamus. Sheamus actually worked really well in the ring. My gripe was that each team kept their "shirts" on, and NO I don't mean that in a gay way, it's just odd to see such "pride" for brands. Standard six man tag fare, but man, it was entertaining and worked out quite well with all the styles mixing it up. Rey Mysterio eventually got the pin, and it was quite good. It's odd to see Team Smackdown getting so much prowess here, and it's understandable, they're stacked.
Jack Swagger defeated Santino
Santino faced Swagger, and I loved the Eagle! I also like Swagger's "All American, American, American, American" gimmick and wish Kurt Angle would come back to challenge him. Santino hit the Cobra on The Eagle and Hornswoggle hit the tadpole splash on the Eagle!In ring, Santino actually had some quality back and forth action with Swagger. Swagger actually couldn't contend with the offense! but before the Cobra could get hit, the Ankle Lock was put on and Santino tapped out.
HAHAHAH The Dashing Cody Rhodes segments just keep getting more and more insane, and I love it. They remind me of Rick "The Model" Martel's commercials for "Arrogance", oh man, great stuff.
Alberto Del Rio defeated John Morrison
This match wasn't all that great, I felt that there was a bit of hesitation from both wrestlers. Del Rio is adjusting well to the new WWE style, and it's interesting to see him adapt, and NOT utilize lucha moves. Now, his win was impressive, he not only countered Starship Pain he hit the Twisting Armbar, and it was awesome. The guy is quite the heel man, wow, despite a slow burning match, the ending was quite good. I loved it. Wow...wrestling is actually good.
CM Punk defeated Edge via Disqualification
This match was oka t best. It wasn't all that great at all, it was slow moving and lacked impact, until the end broke down. Edge was ready to hit the Spear but that prompted The Miz and Alex Riley to run down and clear the ring. That prompted each member of each team to get to the ring and mop up! It was awesome! Each member attacked each other one by one and it looked like Swagger was standing tall but after a Bro-Kick it seemed like Raw had the upper hand again! The Big Show got the last laugh, getting the best of Zeke....or so I thought. The Bro-Kick once again hits but only to get thwarted by the 619!!!! Oh wait...the GTS...oh wait, the SPEAR!!! I'm telling you, the post match was far better than the match, and the crowd was going nuts, I was going nuts, it was a well timed pice of wrestling...wow!
Laycool came out and dressed up as Natalya and Bret Hart!!! It was comedy gold! I loved it!!!!
Natalya & Kelly Kelly (i think) defeated Laycool
This match was ok. It was funny to see Michelle McCool dressed as Hart wrestling, but other than that, this match was an unfortunate mess.
Randy Orton defeated Kane
This match was slow moving, and proved to me yet again that Kane sucks and shoudl retire. Orton took some punishment, but it was nearly telegraphed that he would win, which isn't necessarily a good thing. Orton looked to be defeated but the lights went out and Orton hit the RKO to get the win.
Post match, The Undertaker came from under the ring and pulled Kane under...lame....I hate this stupid crap! I hate it. Oh well.
Despite a few missteps, I liked this show a lot, in fact, it was better than Raw, and right on par with how much I enjoyed the main event of TNA Impact this week. I still don't care about Kane and Undertaker, but whatever. Smackdown wasn't half bad, and once again, I will say that there is no need for a brand split, there just is no need.

WWE Monday Night Raw 10/11/10 Results
R Truth defeated Ted Dibiase Jr.
John Morrison defeated Tyson Kidd
Santino defeated Zack Ryder
RKO defeated Justin Gabriel
Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan
Cm Punk defeated Evan Bourne
The Miz defeated John Cena
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 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.
