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.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/10/10 Results

Jack Swagger defeated Kaval
Hornswoggle defeated The Soaring Eagle
Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler via disqualification
Chris Masters won a masterlock challenge against Dashing Cody Rhodes.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/10/10 Review

Sometimes you just don't feel like talking about wrestling or doing anything. Right now, I feel like crap, I haven't had a job in 16 months now, and Congress hasn't pushed through unemployment insurance extensions, and ugh...I'm tired of Smackdown, tired of having no money. Oh well...here's the review:

Boring ass Kane came out and started cutting a promo. Edge came through on the titan tron and well...the stupid story line continued....I'm so tired.

Jack Swagger defeated Kaval

Kaval is legit injured, and Swagger completely killed Kaval. Kaval put up a good fight and there were a few good kicks, rolling moves, and even top rope options, but Swagger was way too much for the rookie. Kaval lost via submission and Swagger is looking more jacked then ever. I hope Swagger gets some better feuds, cause right now he's just Kurt Angle jr.

Hornswoggle defeated The Soaring Eagle

About as bad as you could imagine.

Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler via disqualification

This match was a nice back and forth, ppv caliber match up. Ziggler was giving out punishment, but it looked like Kofi had his number, especially towards the end of this match. Kofi nearly won the match but out came Swagger to stop the three count, costing the match for Ziggler but more importantly, setting up a road block for Kingston as he tries to get the Intercontinental Championship. I liked the match up, but the ending blew it for me.

The edge and kane feud sucks.

Chris Masters won a masterlock challenge against Dashing Cody Rhodes.

Santino & Kozlov defeated Chavo Guerrero and Drew McIntyre

The Cobra strikes again, and Chavo is on the losing end. Drew has to be getting fired soon, he sucks. The match was your average comedic match with some nice action in between.

Post match, Drew McIntyre beat up Chavo, and that was that.

Natalya defeated Layla

Not much to see here, Natalya loses and that's that.

Rey Mysterio & Edge defeated Alberto Del Rio & Kane

This match was your average hot shot tag match. It had some excitement, it had some nice moments. It was basically Del Rio vs Rey Mysterio with the other two participants too busy with random backstage segments. I don't really care for this. Rey wins, and he'll probably lose at the ppv.

This week's Smackdown was terrible. That's all I can say. Oh and Paul Bearer might be dead, who cares.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/3/10 Results and Review

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/3/10 Results

Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler defeated Kaval & MVP
Kofi Kingston defeated Jack Swagger
Cody Rhodes defeated Chris Masters
Layla defeated Rosa Mendes
Edge defeated Kane

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/3/10 Review

Rey Mysterio came out to the ring to cut a random promo against Alberto Del Rio and what not. The two verbally sparred. Rey challened the crafty heel to a one on one match, and the two will face off at TLC in a very reckless and hardcore match up. The two brawled, and that was kind of cool, but nothing too crazy here.

Oh, I forgot to mention, Mysterio hit a leg drop on Del Rio through a TABLE!

Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler defeated Kaval & MVP

Not a bad match, with some nice action from all members. Kaval took the brunt of the punishment towards the end of the match, as expected, and eventually would lose the match for his team. Kaval then took a tombstone from Kane as the match finished up and cleared out.

Word on the street is that MVp is done with the WWE, and this was his last match, another loss.

Kane got on the mic and just started ranting against Edge, and no one cared.

Throughout the show they kept teasing Paul Bearer being there and what not, but it wasn't.

Kofi Kingston defeated Jack Swagger

Not exactly a four star classic, but a good amount of offense. Kofi took some major hits in this one, and although he took some mean bumps, it was Swagger that lost the match in the end. The two really put together a good overall match up, which was interesting to watch for sure, but it just seemed to have set up another match between Kofi and Ziggler that probably won't be that good.

Cody Rhodes defeated Chris Masters

Cross Rhodes was hit and that was that. Chris Masters is still employed? Stupid match, not a whole lot to mention here, just more random losses. Cody keeps winning on Smackdown, and the match was nothing much to mention, that's for sure.

Layla defeated Rosa Mendes

A short short match which was worst than then knockouts match up. I hated it.

Hornswoggle and the Soaring Eagle were involved in a brawl. Beth Phoenix came out and beat up laycool.

Edge defeated Kane

This was quite possibly the most boring point of all of wrestling this week. Edge won, and got to choose the stipulation for the match at the ppv. However, despite the two throwing together a match, it was boring and the feud is stupid. I'm sick of this crap...but eh...it's better than nothing I guess.

Edge wants a tlc match...that's about it. Smackdown has been terrible as of late.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/12/10 Results and Review

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/12/10 Results

Alberto Del Rio defeated Kofi Kingston
Natalya defeated Layla
David Otunga defeated Edge in a lumberjack match
Dolph Ziggler defeated MVP
The Big Show defeated Kane

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/12/10 Review

The show started with Edge, and in HD he looks really old. He cut a promo about Wrestlemania. Eventually Nexus ran down, and Vickie Guerrero came down and said Nexus couldn't interfere.

Alberto Del Rio defeated Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston managd to not only take the match to Alberto Del Rio, he seemed poised to win this match up. However, Del Rio managed to keep his wits amidst a major increase in offense from Kofi, and hit his finisher, forcing Kofi to tap out. The match featured a lot of work from Kofi, but it was Del Rio's counters that really made this match shine.

Post match, Rey mysterio ran down and beat up Alberto Del Rio, and that was that.

Natalya defeated Layla

Natalya fought Layla alone in this match up. Natalya can wrestle, and you know what? So can Layla, despite the fact that she doesn't get much of a chance sometimes. Natalya got Layla into the sharpshooter and this match was over.

David Otunga defeated Edge in a lumberjack match

Edge carried David Otunga to a good mach. Otunga managed to get in a little bit of offense, but the match wasn't exactly a thriller. Edge managed to keep things lively, with lots of hits and misses. He even managed to hit some of the lumberjacks, making it even more interesting. Otunga was not going to win this one, that was the outlook, until, Kane came in and choke slammed Edge! Otunga wins!

Dolph Ziggler defeated MVP

MVP in a high profile match? Well, this wasn't exactly the world title, but it was a good shot at Ziggler. Dolph Ziggler improves with every opponent, and it seems that he's really pushing forward as the Intercontinental Champion. MVP managed to bring his A game and there were a lot of points where Ziggler looked down and out. This match really got going towards the finish, with Ziggler getting the win after a Zig Zag.

The Big Show defeated Kane

Kane and Big show put on a likeable match up. This thing was goign well with the two men exchanging power moves. Kane was distracted by Edge at one point, with Paul Bearer tied up in a wheel chair, and that allowed Big Show to get the win. Kane sucks. Hopefully Edge takes the belt, and we don't have to worry about this crap anymore.

Post match, Paul Bearer was rolled out of frame, while Kane cried in the ring.

This night of Smackdown was ok at best. There were a lot of low points, but it was better than the stink fest of Raw. Survivor Series looks intriguing, but I still have no job, and I am broke, so I doubt I will see it live.

WWE Bragging Rights 2010 Results and Review

WWE Bragging Rights 2010 Results

Daniel Bryan defeated Dolph Ziggler via submission
David Otunga & John Cena defeated Dashing Cody Rhodes & Drew McIntyre for the Tag Team Championships
Ted Dibiase Jr defeated Goldust
Layla defeated Natalya
Kane defeated The Undertaker in a Buried Alive Match
Team Smackdown defeated Team Raw in the Bragging Rights match
Wade Barrett defeated Randy Orton via disqualification

WWE Bragging Rights 2010 Review

The latest ppv from the WWE had some decent build up, so here we go, let's see how it went down.

Daniel Bryan defeated Dolph Ziggler via submission

Daniel Bryan needs new theme music.

This match started out slow, with each wrestler trying to outdo the other in submission style, mat wrestling, and it seemed that Daniel Bryan had all the right counters. Meanwhile, Ziggler kept leaving himself open and that's when Bryan ran full force towards him with full shots to the head with knees and kicks. Bryan got some chants early on, but eventually the crowd died down. Ziggler had some good control in this match up, but Bryan was the one that was impressive overall. The crowd was completely behind Daniel Bryan, which was awesome to see. Ziggler hit some nice slams, and reverse impact moves, and even countered Bryan at times, showcasing that he has some strong wrestling talent alongside his finisher. Daniel Bryan eventually would get a second wind, and make Ziggler pay, which prompted uproars from the crowd, once again impressing the naysayers, including Michael Cole. Bryan's missile dropkick from the apron was insane! I can't believe how far Bryan can leap off the ropes, and it's just a testament to the guy that he held his own against a much larger Dolph Ziggler. Towards the end of the match, Daniel Bryan tried to do a super backplex off the top rope, but Ziggler countered into a pinfall only to get reversed into a pin attempt by Bryan which prompted uproars and everyone was calling this match of the year for sure. After the nearfalls, the two hit a sickening thud of a double crossbody attempt which really got the crowd going and made this match more than just another opening contest. Ziggler hit a leg drop of sorts but the count was broken up (after 3) because of Daniel Bryan's foot on the ropes! Dnaiel Bryan locked in his Labbel Lock submission and made Dolph Ziggler tap out! A quality opener, a high candidate for match of the night, and the show just opened! It was a very solid, very good entertaining match, something that I've noted about Ziggler in past matches. Ziggler vs Mysterio 1 especially. Bryan wins, and post match, Vickie and Dolph get thrown out of the building!

In the backstage area The Miz praised Daniel Bryan, for once...wow.

The tag team champions were in the ring talking about how everyone was scared of them, and that there was no tag championship match, but in the middle of their speeches, an email from the Anonymous General Manager came through.

He set up a match with Nexus vs The Tag Team Champions!

David Otunga & John Cena defeated Dashing Cody Rhodes & Drew McIntyre for the Tag Team Championships

This was an intriguing tag team match up, with John Cena and Otunga once again teaming to try and get on the winning side. Cena came out running and fired up the crowd, and despite being forced into this match, it seemed like he had a major chance of getting things going for his team. Otunga started the match, and after getting mauled by the champs, he tagged in John Cena. Cena was not too over powering, wrestling a straight up style and not his typical brawling. It was nice to see John Cena doing MORE than his 5 moves. Specifically pointing out that he did a very nice Snap-Release Fisherman's Suplex and a nice Delayed Suplex. Otunga kept trying to get Cena to tag, but Cena refused, and that changed the momentum of the match up. Cena eventually did his super hero gimmick, without tagging in Otunga and won the tag team champions by making Cody Rhodes tap out!

Post match Otunga was celebrating as if he won the titles himself! John Cena was not thrilled with the over zealousness of Otunga and for his troubles, he gave Otunga a major Attitude Adjustment, then took the titles and left with both belts!

The match was good, but you have to wonder why the WWE Champions could easily be put away by 1 man? Seriously, John Cena single handedly defeated the tag team champions! That was odd, but I'll give it to wwe for continuing the story line quite well.

Ted Dibiase Jr defeated Goldust

Goldust on ppv? I marked out huge! I can't believe that Goldust is on ppv in 2010! Goldust started this match fast, but Ted Dibiase was able to change the complexion of the match slowly, and eventually Goldust was back in jobber mode while Ted unloaded on him. The crowd was going for Goldust in this one, and eventually made this match a nice one. On the outside, Maryse beat up Aksana! Aksana then got thrown into the ring, and that prompted Goldust to get distracted and let Ted get the upper hand in this match up. He eventually won with a ddt, which was a bit odd, but I guess that's that.

Post match, Aksana attacked Maryse, and took the Million Dollar belt! She then essentially seduced Ted Dibiase long enough to get Goldust to hit the FINAL CUT on Ted. Goldust leaves with the Million Dollar Belt and that's that. Not a terrible match, but not a four star classic either. I thought it was quite entertaining, and am surprised that so far, I haven't hated the ppv.

Layla defeated Natalya

Laycool together once again kept their title, with Layla taking most of the heavy lifting. Natalya got a few shots in, but it was Michelle McCool on the outside that made the match interesting. I liked it enough, but it was a short match and really didn't pay off for the "feud" that they've been doing.

Kane defeated The Undertaker in a Buried Alive Match

I'm a big fan of the original Buried Alive match and the one where Austin, other than that? I'm not a big fan of this match. The Undertaker had a lot of this match sewn up, but Kane wasn't a push over. Kane managed to wrestle his way to a watchable match, and Undertaker wasn't his "vintage" self. Just one day after punking out Brock Lesnar at UFC, Undertaker had this thing sewn up after a lot of in ring brawling. Undertaker eventually locked in his Hell's Gate lock and rolled Kane into the ditch. He then got Paul Bearer and was going to throw him into the grave too. BUt before he could, out ran the Nexus! Nexus ran out for no apparent reason, making this match awesome! I loved how Taker was getting beat down by Nexus, and that let Kane get out of the grave! Kane hit Undertaker with the Urn, and then threw him into the grave. The Nexus then buried the Undertaker, literally! The feud sucks. The match was barely watchable, but I guess that's ok. I can't believe Kane is still World Heavyweight Champion, and I can't believe Undertaker loses again...after punking out Brock Lesnar. Yep, that's the end of Taker...for now. I guess he'll want a piece of Nexus now too, right?

Post match, the lights went out and lightning struck, and that was that. Nothing else happened. Undertaker is dead? I don't know, I'm tired.

Team Smackdown defeated Team Raw in the Bragging Rights match

This match was ok to say the least. It was your standard elimination match that should've been reserved for Survivor Series, but I liked it enough. It was way better than the Buried Alive match that preceded it. Santino went for the Cobra but was thwarted by none other than Tyler Rex.

Tyler Rex eliminated Santino.

Big Show and Ezekiel Jackson were up next after a quick tag. Mysterio got into the match and was hitting on all cylinders, prompting a tag to Kofi, but Ezekiel started to over power the smaller guys, which looked good, and the match started to once again roll through. Lots of quick tags, lots of non-stop offense, no real rest holds, and that's why this match was way better than the Buried Alive match. Sheamus hit the High Cross and eliminated Kofi.

Sheamus eliminated Kofi Kingston.

The match continued and it was Rey Mysterio trying to outdo Sheamus, but after some quick tags, this match moved into Raw's favor which was nice. The crowd was going nuts for CM Punk, and started a massive chant at this point. THis part of the match just continued to move back and forth, with Mysterio taking a lot of punishment, before getting blind tagged by Alberto Del Rio! Del Rio and Mysterio had some tense moments in this match, despite being on the same team, including a spot where Del Rio threw Mysterio into the gaurd rail before attacking Cm Punk. Rey Mysterio played up an injury and was essentially out of the match for the time being. Del Rio hit a nice bridge Suplex pin attempt, as Mysterio was looking legit hurt. Eventually Swagger came in, and the All American American American American was doing the Smackdown bidding. Punk was then the focus of the Smackdown attack. Starship Pain eventually landed the Raw team another elimination, and Swagger got tossed.

John Morrison eliminated Jack Swagger.

Tyler Rex somehow maintained a spot on the Smackdown team up to this point, which was odd, cause he's just new. He did quite well against Sheamus and others in this match, so it's interesting to see how they'll use him in the near future. A Bro-kick knocked out Rex, and Raw was still on top at this point.

Sheamus eliminated Tyler Rex.

Big Show came in, like a house on fire and started mopping up against Sheamus. Hornswoggled got shoved hard, and that prompted Show to beat down Sheamus on the outside, which eliminated two people at once.

Big Show and Sheamus were eliminated via double countout.

Only Edge and Alberto Del Rio were left in the ring against most of the Raw team.

Edge started against R Truth, and quickly got behind with Truth hitting lots of moves and yelling "what's Up" randomly. A spear out of the corner eliminated R Truth.

Edge eliminated R Truth.

John Morrison got into the ring and quickly knocked out edge, but not enough to get Starship Pain to land, which prompted another Spear out of the corner, giving Edge the "edge".

Edge eliminated John Morrison.

Punk came into the ring and was immediately hit with the Impaler DDT. Punk missed a spear and Del Rio got into the ring with a blind tag. I wasn't sure where this match was going, but one thing was for sure, Del Rio is the ultimate heel. Punk reversed the Del Rio finisher into a Back Slide, and this match was over! Del Rio was now eliminated, but it seemed like that was the plan for Del Rio all along!

Cm Punk eliminated Alberto Del Rio.

Rey Mysterio ran down and beat up Deli Rio, and rejoined the match. Edge and Mysterio vs three Raw members, and the crowd as was I, were captivated. The Miz finally got into the match, and he was hitting hard and fast, trying to get the better of Edge and Mysterio and win the match for his team. The match was definitely awesome, as was Miz. Mysterio got back into the match but was equalized by CM PUnk, who was still in this match folks!

Rey Mysterio eliminated Cm Punk

Zeke got into the match and immediately started working on Rey Mysterio. He was stomping out Mysterio with relative ease. Mysterio hit Ezekiel with the 619, but an odd exchange between Mysterio and Zeke looked like Mysterio only got a 2 count, but nope, he eliminated Zeke.

Rey Mysterio eliminated Ezekiel Jackson.

That left Edge & Mysterio with Miz solo on Raw. Miz got a lot of help from his right hand man A-Rod. Mysterio got a huge tag, and that prompted Edge to hit a spear on MIZ and pinned THE MIZ!

Edge eliminated The MIz to win the Bragging RIghts match and trophy! A quality bragging rights match with lots of nearfalls, lots of great action, and just an overall pleasure to watch. Despite the botches, despite the weird finishes, I liked it. Edge and Mysterio wins!

The main event officially started at around 2 hours and 25 minutes into the ppv, so that gives you an idea about how much time the final match up was given. I wasn't sure who'd win, but I had a hunch....

Wade Barrett defeated Randy Orton via disqualification

John Cena refused to get involved with the match, despite Wade Barrett asking him too. Orton was in control for the majority of this match up. Wade got in a few shots, but it looked to me as though Orton was in full control of this, including some very stupid looking rest holds. Orton just seemed like he was winning. That's not to say that Barrett wasn't in control at points in the match, it just seemed like Orton was getting the better of the exchanges. The ref got knocked out, which meant that it was time for Barrett to get some help. Cena was then asked to get on the apron and Wade Barrett got thrown into him, causing Cena to go into the guard rail. Nexus ran down and beat up Orton! The ref was still out cold! Nexus was pummeling Orton! This looked like Wade Barrett would get the title! Despite Orton getting beat down by all of Nexus, he still managed to get back into the match, hit his DDT and start setting up his RKO, but Cena managed to get into the ringand attack Barrett!!

Post match, Cena was going to give Orton the title, but Orton hit CENA with an RKO! Barrett wins, but Orton retains! Yep.

Raw will be interested. The ppv was good, with the exception of the Buried Alive match. Wow...this was weird.

WWE Smackdown 10/8/10 Results and Review

WWE Smackdown 10/8/10 Results

Edge defeated Jack Swagger
Layla defeated Kelly Kelly
Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated Kofi Kingston & Kaval
Rey Mysterio defeated Alberto Del Rio
Dolph Ziggler defeated MVP

WWE Smackdown 10/8/10 Review

Smackdown has the worst intro music...but I was looking forward to seeing Alberto Del Rio vs Rey Mysterio so I can't complain too much about the lackluster sell out move of Greenday.

Edge defeated Jack Swagger

I always pop for Edge's music, but the guy hasn't been relevant for a long time. Jack Swagger's Eagle is funny. Edge had some cool moments here, and I didn't hate it, but I felt like I already saw this. The Eagle took a Spear, Swagger went for the Ankle Lock but Edge eventually hit his Spear and won. This match wasn't all that great, but hey...at least Edge is being used.

Layla defeated Kelly Kelly

This match was terrible. Did you expect anything else? The divas are lookers, but they aren't great wrestlers. There were a few quality moments in this match, but overall? This match was just filler, and I didn't find it all that great.

The Big Show was talking about setting up Team Smackdown for Bragging Rights, and that prompted The Dudebusters to come out and ask to be on team Smackdown.

Big Show double chokeslammed The Dudebusters and that was that. Team Smackdown is going to bore me, and so is Bragging Rights, I can feel it.

Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated Kofi Kingston & Kaval

Once again, Kaval loses. This match wasn't all that great, and it's another reason why I hate hot shot tag team pairings. The match was ok enough, but I didn't really care about any one of the participants, which is not the way you want to present things, but I guess that's just what happens. The hot shot team wins...and that's that.

Kane delivered a message to Undertaker...and I HATE the feud. I hope they both retire.

Dolph Ziggler defeated MVP

This match wasn't that great, and while I appreciate the efforts of one Dolph Ziggler, I can't stand MVP right now. Ziggler wins this match thanks to the actions of an NXT participant, much to the dismay of Vickie. MVP did have some nice suplexes, throws, and offense. I think MVP is highly talented, just not utilized properly.

My 2 cents? I think MVP should be paired with Shad & JTG and they should do a "Konnan" like thing. Just a thought.

Rey Mysterio defeated Alberto Del Rio

This match wasn't exactly a four star classic. It was your standard Rey Match. Del Rio had a bunch of great moments, but overall it was Mysterio that got the most offense in, and won the match despite attempts by Del Rio to cheat. Mysterio hit his moves and won this match.

I don't understand the logic in having Del Rio losing here, but then again, I don't understand a lot of the logic in the WWE or TNA for that matter. Mysterio comes back, wins, sends the crowd home happy and that was that. This feud should be done, since Mysterio won.

Edge defeated Daniel Bryan (non title match)
Daniel Bryan defeated Edge (via DQ) REversed by General Manager

WWE Monday Night Raw 9/20/10 Review

One night after NIght of Champions we get the latest and some say greatest edition of Raw. My shift key is working again, my wife is back from her 10 day trip to Alaska, and I'm still without a job, without any money, and somehow managing to stay alive and off the streets...barely.

This economy has me eating lunch meat and ramen daily...but the WWE is making bazillions of dollars off of me...or are they?

Randy Orton opened upt he show to screaming ovations, and I don't care. I like Orton chasing, not winning in fluke matches.

RANDY ORTON SUCKS ON THE MIC.

SHeamus came out....ugh...I'm already tired.

The general manager chimed in, and I remember why I hate raw...the damn anonymous general manager...I'm sick of them.

They booked the Hell in a Cell, at least the WWE Championship side, as Orton will face Sheamus in a Hell in a Cell. Boring ass Hell in the Cell is what I"m saying.

Orton got the better of the exchange, and like i said, I don't care. Having him chasing is far better than what it is now...a cocky heel-face champion.

Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated Kozlov & Santino

Michael Cole sucks. I HATE HIS COMMENTARY AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY HE SHOULD BE MAKING FUN OF THE FORMER TAG CHAMPIONS!

This match sucked, and MICHAEL COLE MADE ME HATE IT MORE! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR COLE TO ACT THE WAY HE IS. MICHAEL COLE SUCKS!

John Morrison defeated Chris Jericho

Is it just me or is John Morrison on the rise and Jericho getting buried. Starship Pain landed yet again and Jericho looked legit injured. He took the brunt of the move on his steel-plated arm. Jericho's loss record is getting epic, is he ever going to get back? Meanwhile, Morrison is spot on accurate these days, and I hope he's getting a major push. I'm hoping he's getting better on the mic too.

Post match, Jericho was crying again. I don't know if I like whining Jericho, especially since the crowd is so behind him witht he Y2J chants.

The Miz came out and said he had a torn MCL and that's why he lost the U.S Championship. I love the miz on the mic.

The Miz was on commentary and boy can he talk in character.

MICHAEL SUCKS! COLE SUCKS! I HATE COLE!

Edge defeated Daniel Bryan (non title match)

This match wasn't a 4 star classic, but it was the only match up to the mid-point of Raw that had my full attention. I was loving the way the match was going, and I like how Alex Riley and Miz helped Edge win this one. Bryan is still great, and I hope he gets continually pushed. Riley interfering made it possible for Edge to win.

An email came through and gave Bryan the win via dq. Edge continues to get buried, and he got on the mic and basically yelled at nothing and no one...he's getting frustrated. Jericho is frustrated. I hope there is a huge payoff.

Post match, Miz and Riley beat down Daniel Bryan. I like where this feud is going. It's elevating Alex Riley and making Miz that much more of a heel, getting major heat. Meanwhile, Daniel Bryan is getting elevated into a major champion by having to get beat by 2 men. I love this angle, and hope the WWE learns from this, because they can make some serious television for a change. I'm hoping Miz and Bryan have a major match in the future, on ppv, epic...the feud is getting epic.

Layla defeated Melina

I hated this match. The divas title sucks. I'm so sick of bad women's wrestling. Layla wins. I hate Melina, so maybe Layla winning is cool.

R Truth & Eve defeated Ted Dibiase & Maryse

Eve's neck breaker was the highlight of this match for me. COuld we be seeing the early signs of a real wrestler? That'd be impressive. This match was filler and it was just an excuse to get Dibiase on the show. I didn't really think it was too good, but it was entertaining, at least the end. Truth's dive outside was nice too, but Dibiase looked to have been knocked silly again. I'm not sure where this feud is going, but I guess it was ok.

John Cena defeated Heath Slater
John Cena defeated Michael Tarver
John Cena defeated David Otunga
John Cena defeated Justin Gabriel via dq


SUPER MAN JOHN CENA went through each member of Nexus, and it was stupid. Standard Cena crap here, burying Nexus for no apparent reason. Once again, this proves my point that SUPER JOHN CENA and NEXUS is going nowhere fast. CENA is beyond super human here. I DO NOT like this....Cena vs all of Nexus and he was able to take them all on? I loved the DUNGEON OF DOOM vs HOGAN & SAVAGE, I bought that, but in 2010 I can not buy into SUPER JOHN CENA vs EVERYONE! I'm sick of this crap. CENA is left standing...I hate John Cena.

Wade Barrett was suppose to fight Cena, but it just didn't happen.

Wade Barrett put Cena into a match where if Cena loses he will join Nexus, at Hell in a Cell. If John Cena wins Nexus is done. I don't know where it's going, but putting CENA in a hell stable? I like it. We'll see what happens, I'm not that excited, I'm sick of SUPER CENA...so I'm banking on him losing...however, with a weakened Nexus already, it's going to be quite interesting to see what the WWE has up their sleeve for this one.

Overall not a great Raw. I liked parts of it, as many of you most likely did, but I felt it was lacking in a variety of ways. I'm not that invested into the product as I was earlier on in my ventures through watching pro-wrestling, but the WWE knows how to get me, if they ever decide to pull the trigger.

WWE Superstars 8/5/10 Results and Review

WWE Superstars 8/5/10 Results

Layla defeated Tiffany
Hawkins & Archer defeated The Dudebusters
Evan Bourne defeated Zack Ryder

WWE Superstars 8/5/10 Review

Another wrestling show another review, and I'm dead tired. As soon as I heard the divas music...I knew I was in for another hate filled night.

Layla defeated Tiffany

Layla in person is quite attractive, on tv? Not so much. Tiffany in person? not that hot to me. These two put on a sub-standard divas match and I didn't like it. I'm so sick of the divas division, they are some of the worst wrestlers ever. That being said, I didn't hate this match quite as much as I thought I would. There was some legit wrestling somewhere in this match, and that was a stunning thing. Layla worked on Tiffany's knee until she hit her finisher and that was that. This match took longer than many other divas matches I've seen and Layla came out on top without much interference from Michelle McCool.

Hawkins & Archer defeated The Dudebusters

The announce team said that this was an impressive win, but I didn't think it was. This match sucked, it was just another tag team match for me. Hawkins and Archer can actually wrestle, but they aren't growing on me or the crowd. They suck, and the Dudebusters? They are glorified jobbers.

Evan Bourne defeated Zack Ryder

The main event on Superstars doesn't get enough attention. There have been some solid matches on Superstars and this one was definitely a good one. Evan Bourne took a lot of punishment from Ryder and in the end Ryder made a crucial mistake, he fell off the top rope, or rather was thrown off and out came the Shooting Star Press and Bourne takes out Ryder. A great overall contest with some big moves, a good pace, and of course the Shooting Star Press.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/16/10 Results

Dashing Cody Rhodes vs. Kofi Kingston (no contest)
Drew McIntyre defeated Christian
Kelly Kelly & Chris Masters defeated Layla & one of the dudebusters
Dolph Ziggler defeated Matt Hardy

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/16/10 Review

The last WWE show before their big ppv this weekend should be good, right? Right? Anybody? I was going to review this last night, but instead I was out to dinner with Mrs. Sir Jorge, so I missed it live. But I was able to watch it and here we go, my thoughts on Smackdown.

The first thing I noticed was the recap of Swagger beating up Big Show, looking strong, only to be made to look like a crying little wimp by Kane. Kane is behind it, huh?

Dashing Cody Rhodes vs. Kofi Kingston (no contest)

I'm quite interested in the new “Dashing” Cody Rhodes character, and it was nice to see him improve in ring against Kofi Kingston. Kofi had his spots, but Dashing Cody Rhodes seemed to have a lot of counters to the high spots of Kofi, until he fell backwards off the top rope and was hit with a nice crossbody!

Kane's pyro hit and out came Kane to stop the match, and once again, I hate WWE for not ending a match, I guess this match gets thrown out since Kane hit both Cody Rhodes and Kofi with chokeslams. I'm sick of Kane.

Drew McIntyre defeated Christian

This match was back and forth with some good overall action. Christian was definitely playing a sympathetic role to Drew's cheating ways. Drew got a nice upper hand to win the match after poking Christian in the eye and then hitting his Future Shock DDT. Not a terrible match, but nothing I'd remember in a few weeks. Drew McIntyre is still as exciting as a mayonaise sandwich on white bread.

CM Punk was trying to cut a promo but was interrupted by Big Show talking about the Ladder match. This promo was stupid, and having Big Show trying to climb a ladder wasted a lot of time for no apparent reason. The Straightedge Society was watching on, as the Big Show couldn't climb a ladder. Since the Big Show couldn't find a ladder that was his size, he got a super industrial ladder to support his weight!

The Straightedge Society attacked and climbed the Big Show's ladder and this got good. I liked the way this waste of time played out, and the ladder was awesome with Big Show eventually getting CM Punk to the top of the Ladder and then PULLING CM PUNK'S MASK COMPLETELY OFF!!!!!!!!!

Best line of the night, “CM PUNK LOOKS LIKE BIG SHOW JR!” it was awesome, if you missed it, you missed it.

Kelly Kelly & Chris Masters defeated Layla & one of the dudebusters

This match was stupid, the whole thing was just a waste of time. After Layla was focusing on Kelly for the most part, this match turned around when Rosa came out jumping rope. This match got Kelly Kelly to win and that was that. I hate this piece of crap division....Layla is hot, just sayin.

Fat Ass Matt Hardy cut a promo, it was boring.

More vignettes shown for the new guy...and I liked it. Hopefully the dude can wrestle.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Matt Hardy

Matt Hardy, despite being fat, still can go in the ring, at least for a few moments. I credit Dolph Ziggler with a lot here though. Ziggler is quite good, and he can really compliment any major wrestler, as he was fast, poignant, and just impressive against a fatter opponent. I liked the way this match was playing out, especially the counters from Hardy on Ziggler. Despite hitting most of his offense, Matt Hardy couldn't put this one away and therefore lost with Ziggler getting a very good victory.

I for one love Ziggler's character and think he's ready for the big time. Ziggler vs Mysterio #1 was the best match of 2009 I my view, and he continues to improve. Vickie Guerrero as his manager is a nice touch, and this match up was good, I liked it a lot.

Jack Swagger brought out his father to the ring and said he was hanging out with him and couldn't have beaten up the Undertaker. This was stupid, as Swagger said he was in a Chicken Wing eating contest.

Kane came out, and was ready to mop up Swagger. Swagger then went after Kane's leg and his dad was cheering him on, which was funny. Kane then chokeslammed Jack Swagger's dad! Rey Mysterio came out and helped Kane get the upper hand.

The show ended with Kane's pyro and he was “scary”...FML.

Oh and Kane tombstoned Swagger's dad.

***Since no one commented, and my "wrestling wrap up" post last week got little to no fan fare, I'm not doing one this week. Too bad suckers....I kid....PPV review will go up Monday before Raw airs...just in case you're wondering.

WWE Superstars 7/8/10 Results and Review

WWE Superstars 7/8/10 Results

Yoshi Tatsu & Gail Kim defeated Primo & Jillian
Zack Ryder defeated Goldust
Laycool defeated Kelly Kelly & Tiffany

WWE Superstars 7/8/10 Review

First and foremost, I want to give a huge shout out to Shane Simmons and all the rest of you that emailed me reviews for my “guest blogger” program I was going to be running. While I had a lot of great entries and emails, I have worked out a quick deal that has allowed me to watch Superstars on WGN America! Oh and NO, it's not the Youtube channel, although that's another option I guess.

Thanks again to all that tried out, but I'm going to be taking over the reviews now...if I get tired or need a replacement, I'll make sure to get you guys to help, thanks again.

The Bella Twins started the show as the guest referees, and they were quite hot! Wow!

Yoshi Tatsu & Gail Kim defeated Primo & Jillian

This match actually had some wrestling in it! Yeah, I can't believe that they let Gail Kim and Jillian actually put on some quick wrestling. Evil primo looks weird, and Tatsu's character has definitely run its course by this point, hasn't it? Gail Kim mixed it up with Primo, if only for a quick high spot. Despite reports of the “knife edge chop” being banned, Yoshi was all over Primo with them, prompting the fans to go “WOOOO!”. This match was a bit entertaining, if only for a little male curiosity, considering the Bellas were nearly naked in this match up, and their bottoms couldn't get any tighter. Jillian and Gail Kim put on the best women's wrestling in WWE so far this year, and it's a shame their being put on a secondary show like this. The “double clothesline” was probably the best thing I remember from the match, as it set up a good ending sequence. Jillian attacked one the ref's, and that's when Gail Kim rolled up Jillian and got a fast count. Not a terrible match, but it was more eye candy than anything else, especially with the Bella Twins.

Zack Ryder defeated Goldust

I'm glad to see that Goldust is getting a chance to wrestle, even if it's on a third rate show. He's fast, and he is in shape, far better than his debut way back when. I'm surprised the writers don't give him more credibility, and maybe even bring back Marlena. Ryder put on a fight, and didn't just go down easily, but was able to counter after a lot of abuse and get back in the match. I liked the offense from Goldust, and despite being an old character, Ryder wasn't just rolling over the veteran. Ryder might be on a good roll and can end up being a very hated part of the WWE roster, that's for sure. The Rough Ryder was hit, and this hard fought comeback for Ryder was over. I didn't hate the match, but I hope Goldust gets a better spot in the roster.

The NXT recap was far better than watching the full show, and that's a shame.

I almost forgot that Chris Masters was still in the WWE! Well, he had a Masterlock Challenge with one of the Dudebusters and boy was it menacing. Croft got basically pwned by Masters and lost this one. Masters got some hair grafts or something, cause he has a fuller head of hair now, and he's looking a little less jacked.

After Croft got beaten in the Masterlock challenge, his partner sat down and he too was going to go down, but Croft attacked and the Dudebusters beat up the Masterpiece Chris Masters. I'm not sure what this accomplished, as the tag team division needs more than 1 or 2 teams on each show...but whatever.

Laycool defeated Kelly Kelly & Tiffany

When I saw Laycool in person at a house show, I couldn't help but drool over Layla. I was 3 row from ring and wow, she's hotter in person, just saying. As far as Divas matches are concerned, this wasn't as terrible as the Raw and Smackdown matches that get rushed through. There was a good amount of time given to the bout, and Laycool were in relative control throughout the match up. They were punishing Tiffany for a good portion of this match, and it didn't look good for her team. After a ref distraction, and a hot tag, this thing ended with Laycool getting the win after Michelle McCool interfered while the Ref had his back turned. Not a terrible match, and not a great one either.

Feel free to share your thoughts, comments, and insights via the comments section or via email. I'm going to be doing a "week in wrestling" recap and review after the Smackdown review every week.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 6/11/10 Results and Review

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 6/11/10 Results

Rey Mysterio defeated Jack Swagger
Layla defeated Tiffany
Christian defeated Dolph Ziggler
The Big Show vs. CM Punk

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 6/11/10 Review

It's beyond funny to me that news outlets were seriously considering whether or not The Undertaker was in fact dead. I was even asked to write a news piece for a local paper about whether or not The Undertaker is in fact in a coma, not just a wrestling story line. I don't know why people believe all sorts of stuff in the world of WWE, but hey, it happens I guess.

Remember when Billy & Chuck were going to get married? The national media was all over the story and they were on the covers of so many different non-wrestling papers. Then what? 3 Minute warning? Well, that's where we are now, Kane and The Undertaker start off the show, well...a focus on last week and how the Undertaker was found sleeping or dead, whatever. Kane's quest to find out what is happening will most likely be the focal point of WWE Smackdown, and we'll eventually either get Rikishi admitting that he did it for the Rock, or Kane facing the Undertaker yet again.

Remember the whole “IS He Dead?” story line with Kane? This is like a 2.0 of that story, and I'm not sure I like where it's going.

Why would the WWE put the champion in a match that opens the show? Remember the days when the Champion didn't wrestle for free television or didn't wrestle in the first MATCH! This sucks.

It's funny to me that Daniel Bryan got fired for not being PG yet Punk can say that he was a victim of an assassination attempt? That's not PG, that's not non-violent.

Before the match started, CM Punk came down and was on the mic, ranting and raving as usual.

Big Show got on the mic and started talking trash too. I'm sick of these 30 minute starting points with NO wrestling...man, that south park parody is looking more and more true.

Kane showed up on the screen and cut a promo about random crap that had to deal with his brother...I'm sick of Kane already. Get back to JOBBING!

Rey Mysterio defeated Jack Swagger

This match was back and forth, with no clear dominant wrestler. I was surprised that the WWE made Swagger look weak in this one at times, because he's the champion. Mysterio has been on a roll since he knocked off the Undertaker and it keeps growing. He wasn't letting the much bigger Swagger take control often, even though the Champion was definitely in control a good part of the match. Swagger was also getting hit from all sides with fast paced offense from Mysterio, so maybe my comments are unfounded. Mysterio managed to win the match, and again, I'm shocked that the champion gets jobbed out. Swagger is a weak champion, losing key matches, and looking weak against former champions.

I must note that Mysterio's title reigns were the same, with him getting losing streaks until narrowly retaining at the ppv matches. Mysterio is getting pushed like crazy right now, and I'm not sure why. Swagger beat up mysterio after the bell, and Kane came out. Kane choke slammed Swagger, and once again, I must wonder, why did they fire Daniel Bryan for choking out a guy, yet Kane can choke people and slam them without recourse, just sayin.

This match was given time, it was interesting to watch at times, but the logic of a weak champion that narrowly wins big matches, escapes me.

Layla and Michelle McCool came out with their rookie, and it prompted Tiffany and Kelly Kelly to come out, and I'm not sure why.

Layla defeated Tiffany

This match showed some botches. Layla got the win, but after a terrible first round of manuevers, it's interesting to note that LayCool keeps winning. This crap sucks, the divas suck, Kaval is in an interesting storyline where he's an NXT rookie and gets to bang his pro's, right? Oh no? That's not this show? Crap. Whatever, this crap sucks. I hate the divas.

They showed the footage from Monday Night Raw where the NXT guys showed up to beat up everyone and tear up the ring. They omitted some of the more “harsh” moments that got Daniel Bryan fired, but who cares? I don't.

Christian came out and she had a new haircut or something, and Vickie Guerrero came out on the mic to get booed out of the building. She introduced Christian's opponent, Dolph Ziggler.

Christian defeated Dolph Ziggler

This match wasn't all that great, and I'm sick of seeing Christian. His matches are so formulaic, and he hasn't had a quality impact in a long time. After winning via an off the ropes sunset flip, Hawkins and Archer came in and beat up Christian, but I don't care about those idiots either.

Dolph Ziggler then ran in and put Christian to sleep.

Why is it that Dolph Ziggler is far more interesting than anything Christian has done in the past weeks? Odd.

Drew McIntyre came out and called out Teddy Long, then made him watch the recap of last week. I'm sick of “fat ass” Matt Hardy, and Drew McIntyre has the charisma of a mayonaise sandwich. Smackdown was ruining my high on wrestling that I had at the end of Monday Night Raw.

It looked like Drew McIntyre was going to announce that Teddy Long was fired, but instead Kofi Kingston came out on the mic, and he lost his Jamaican accent...that was fast.

Kofi beat up Drew McIntyre, that's that. I don't know what else to say about this stupid exchange.

Drew McIntyre announced that he would face Teddy Long next week on smackdown..ocne again I say, WHO CARES?

The Big Show vs. CM Punk

The Big Show essentially beat up CM Punk for a great portion of this match. Show wasn't giving the former champion much of a chance, and rightfully so. The giant was just beating up Punk. Punk was selling all of Big Show's offense like crazy, and that was interesting to see, that's for sure. Show was going to win, but the Straightedge Society jumped Big Show. Kane then came out for the save? I gues Big Show isn't to blame?

Nope, Kane chokeslammed The Big Show. Once again, Chokeslames are PG but choking a ringside idiot isn't.

Kane sucks, he's still nothing more than a jobber to me.

Smackdown sucked, face it. It was a boring show with maybe 1 good match, and Kane getting pushed as if he was being set up for a match with the Undertaker....I'm sick of Smackdown, but am looking forward to Monday Night Raw.

The Big Show vs Drew McIntyre

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 5/21/10 Review

And here we go, another look at pro-wrestling, with a review of Smackdown. CM Punk opened the show and he shaved the head of three different idiots. Then he beat them up.

Mysterio came out for a moment and showed what Punk would look like with his head shaved. It was stupid.

Michelle McCool & Layla defeated Tiffany & Kelly Kelly

This match was dumb. It was fast, and it was stupid. The co-women’s champions suck. I hate this division…man, no one has good women’s wrestling right now.

JTG defeated One Of the Dudebusters

This sucked too. JTG doesn’t have the skills to get over, at least not over with me. The Dudebusters suck too. I hate this…man Smackdown sucked so far.

Vance Archer & Curt Hawkins defeated Two Jobbers

This match sucked. The two killed two jobbers…whatever…I’m sick of this boring wrestling.

Kofi Kingston defeated Jack Swagger

This was a good back and forth match, but when Big Show go on the mic, distracted Swagger and Kofi hit a nice cross body block, Swagger lost. It was a dumb finish, and I didn’t care.

Kofi beat the world champ, big deal.

Christian had his PEEP Show, and was attacked by Dolph Ziggler and Chavo Guerrero. It was a lame segment.

Rey Mysterio & MVP defeated The Straightedge Society

This match was cool, a standard high spot tag team affair. This time around CM Punk got worked over and ended up losing after Rey Mysterio hit the Hurricanrana roll up.

The Big Show vs Drew McIntyre

This match was mostly Big Show, until Jack Swagger interfered. Drew was on his way to losing this match, and we get another no finish? I hate this crap. Swagger continued to beat up the Big Show, and that was.

Smackdown was not that great, in fact, was boring. I hated it. Smackdown and Impact both sucked, in light with an ok Raw. I’m having a bad week of wrestling.

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/17/10 Review

I completely forgot about the TNA review and ppv, because I was busy, so forget it happened. From what I hear, it wasn’t very good anyways.

The show opened up with Bret “The Hitman” Hart coming down to the ring. It’s also important to note that Raw was in Toronto Canada.

The Hitman informed everyone that he wasn’t going to be wrestling tonight, despite being called out by The Miz last Raw.

Chris Jericho came out to interrupt, and what not…I lost track of stuff looking or the new Murs record.

The night had several different commercials and sponsors, in a night tht wasn’t supposed to have any. Of course they were all for wwe and what not, and parodied real commercials.

Looks like the wwe likes to gamble, or play cards or something because they had a “pick your poison” match, where two opponents at Over the Limit would pick their opponents “opponent”. I know, it’s odd, but whatever.

Edge defeated Christian

Christian has been working both shows, and it seems like the brand split didn’t matter. Christian was running straight through Edge for the most part, but managed to hurt his shoulder outside of the ring, which is a common point for Christian matches. The crowd was red hot for this match, and both guys put on some great counters and overall wrestling, despite the short amount of time. After some close falls, it was Edge that managed to win this match up. Not a four star classic, but a great overall opener that kept my attention for a Raw match.

The Undertaker defeated Edge by Countout

Randy Orton didn’t pick Christian, he picked Undertaker and when Edge deliberately got counted out, Christian came out and threw him in the ring. The Undertaker than knocked him out, and that was the end of the night.

I hate no commercial Raw events.
Mark Henry was supposed to face Mark Henry, but instead got trampled by Batista before the match could even happen.

Ted Dibiase Jr defeated Yoshi Tatsu

Tatsu got worked over in this match, despite getting some offense in during the match up. Dibiase hit Dream Street and that was that. The match wasn’t all that great, but I liked the fact that VIRGIL came back. That’s right, THE VIRGIL is now helping Ted Dibiase Jr.

Bret Hart defeated The Miz for the United States Championship

The Hart Dynasty helped Bret hart overcome the odds and once again get the United States Championship! That’s right, he won the match with a lot of help from the Hart Dynasty…The Miz basically got jobbed the crap out. Wow. I have no idea what they are going to do with the United States Title now.

Layla, Michelle McCool and Maryse defeated Eve & The Bella Twins

This match was relatively boring, too much time was spent on dropkicks…seriously. Maryse tagged herself in and got the pinfall victory after the French Kiss. I guess it was ok…I don’t know, I don’t care about the divas in wwe.

Randy Orton vs Jack Swagger No Contest

This match was quite a high caliber match, and was comparable to their ppv outing they had. While Orton seemed to be a little less abrasive, and Swagger was looking quite dominant for a good part of this match, the Viper was striking on all cylinders. The crowd was going nuts, and Swagger, despite nearly losing this match up looked Strong.

Swagger got with an RKO but Edge was there to disrupt the match and hit a Spear.

Evan Bourne & Gail Kim defeated Zack Ryder & Alicia Fox

This match had Ryder taking some serious shots against Bourne, and Gail Kim hitting some nice high spots against Fox. This match had some interesting counters, and Ryder getting involved was interesting to see when the divas were wrestling. Overall though, I didn't really like this match. Gail Kim won the match with a pinfall, and this match was done. A standard mixed tag team match, didn't mean a whole lot.

John Cena vs Sheamus no contest

I'm so sick of John Cena. I'm so tired of seeing him wrestling, it's getting ridiculous. Sheamus further solidified himself as a pale heel, and was really bringing it to Cena during this match up. Cena was doing the classic, super cena, stuff, and no one seemed to care...well, the crowd was loud, I just wasn't into it at all. The "Let's Go Sheamus" chant was huge at one point, with Cena getting booed for his comebacks.

Cena threw Sheamus out of the ring with an Attitude Adjustment, but Batista was there to catch cena and drop him with a spine buster. Batista would go on to beat up Cena yet again, and will most likely lose at the ppv.

This match had rails, it was going somewhere, I actually was watching, then when Batista beat him up, and the match was thrown out. Batista putting on The Rings of Saturn was a nice touch, as Raw went off the air.

I like the build, but I don't know if the match will actually be any good.

Raw was ok, nothing too grand.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 5/14/10 Results and Review

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 5/14/10 Results

Kofi Kingston defeated Christian in the Intercontinental Championship Match
Shad defeated Jobber #9292
JTG & MVP defeated The Dudebusters
Layla defeated Beth Phoenix to win the Women’s Title
Kane defeated Chavo Guerrero
Rey Mysterio vs Cm Punk

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 5/14/10 Review

The night opened with the Intercontinental Championship title tournament finals. It would be two of the top guys in the mid-card, and I liked that they opened the show like this.

Kofi Kingston defeated Christian in the Intercontinental Championship Match

Christian hasn’t been on the roll that he once was at in ECW, but he can take a lot of punishment, and it showed. He was busted open the hard way at one point, and took some big bumps on the outside. Kofi too took a mean bump on the floor outside, when Christian moved out of the way of a splash. The two were going back and forth, and fast too, getting the crowd going several times, and getting me excited about the Intercontinental Champion yet again. Kofi hit thunder in paradise, and this thing was all over.

Kofi Kingston won, but out came Drew McIntyre, and the title was overruled and Kofi was stripped of the title. Drew McIntyre was reinstated, and is still recognized as the Intercontinental Champion. A letter was read, and that was it. It’s stupid.

Shad defeated Jobber #9292

Shad beat a jobber. I don’t like the character, and I don’t like JTG solo, so this was stupid to me.

JTG & MVP defeated The Dudebusters

Well, there’s another hot shot tag team, thrown together. I hate these idiotic tag teams that are just so boring. Well, the Dudebusters got killed, they were buried by the new team. I’m so sick of the tag division in the WWE. I long for the days when good tag-team wrestling existed and there were several teams gunning for the tag titles.

Remember the Killer Bees, British Bulldogs, The Orient Express, The Rockers, The Barbarians, Harlem Heat, Public Enemy, The Eliminators and so many others? Oh man, I wish it were back in the day.

Layla defeated Beth Phoenix

Layla and Michelle McCool battled Beth Phoenix for the title, but when Beth Phoenix fell to the floor, Layla pinned the champion. This match was ok, not great, but it was smart the way it played out, with Phoenix having a knee injury.

Kane defeated Chavo Guerrero

Chavo got killed, I don’t know why he is still working for WWE, he’s just a jobber.

Rey Mysterio vs Cm Punk

This match was not half bad, it featured all the spots that both men have put on in their last two matches. The only difference here was that the new member of the Society came in and helped Punk beat up Mysterio.

Overall this night of smackdown wasn’t all that great. I was actually tired, and didn’t really enjoy the majority of the matches. It had a few good moments, but it was dumb.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 4/23/10 Results

John Morrison defeated Jack Swagger
Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre defeated Matt Hardy & R Truth
Mike Knox vs JTG
Mickie James and Beth Phoenix defeated Michelle McCool & Layla
Luke Gallows & CM Punk defeated Kane & Rey Mysterio

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 4/23/10 Review

Jack Swagger came out to a chorus of boo’s from the audience and looked confidence as the champion. He then cut a promo, and got booed more. I was already bored and it had only been like 2 minutes.

John Morrison defeated Jack Swagger

This match was interesting to note, it’s nice to see Morrison wrestling against Swagger. Swagger wasn’t as dominating as he was in other matches, but he was managing to take a lot of offense from Morrison. Morrison made some key mistakes, and the champion captilized several times. Swagger gets better and better during in ring, too bad he can’t talk that well. The ending made no sense, no sense at all. Jack Swagger was beaten by John Morrison, cleanly! Despite Swagger hitting his powerbomb, and despite dominating a good portion towards the end, Morrison managed to hit starship pain and win! I like the ending, it just doesn’t make sense to have such a weak champion, he’s always losing! What the hell kind of booking is this?

Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre defeated Matt Hardy & R Truth

When’s the last time Drew McIntyre defended his title?

How come fat-ass Matt Hard isn’t fired? They fired fat Mickie James…nevermind.

This match wasn’t all that great, and while it did have some moments, the match seemed to be going downhill when Ziggler and McIntyre kept beating up Hardy and pushing his head into the steel steps. I thought the match was going to be done, but nope, Hardy kept pushing forward and kept getting beaten.

The Referee ended the match when Matt Hardy couldn’t continue, giving the match to the heels. This was lame, Hardy is fat and sucks, he needs to get fired now.

Chris Jericho cut a promo inside of a steel cage, and it wasn’t half bad. Edge came out to interrupt, and wanted to fight Jericho, but not tonight, cause he claimed he was banged up….then he shook it off and got into the ring to reveal that he was quite alright.

Wade Barrett and Chris Jericho took turns beating up Edge and while Edge fought back, the numbers game didn’t favor him, at least early on. Edge then set up a spear and in what was a great moment of heel fury, Jericho locked Barrett inside the cage with EDGE! Edge went to town on Barrett and the crowd was all over it. Edge, despite his face turn, still can’t grab my attention. Jericho, is amazing, and works so well in his role, wow, too bad Jericho can’t carry Edge. Even Barrett is starting to make me interested in his character thanks to Jericho’s tutelage.

Mike Knox vs JTG

I’m not sure what happened in this match, because I went to get some coffee, and when I returned Shad was whipping the living daylights out of JTG with a leather belt. It was intense, but I didn’t care…these two are better off being tag teams not singles competitors.

Mickie James and Beth defeated Phoenix Michelle McCool & Layla

Mickie James’s last match was a tag match and while she appeared to have lost a little weight, she still got fired! Too bad they can’t fire fat ass Matt Hardy. Anyways, the match was ok at best, and actually had a good amount of wrestling. This might have been the longest divas match I’ve seen in WWE since the last time I said that statement.

Keeping that in mind, Layla and McCool worked on Beth Phoenix’s leg and it was quite good to see. Mickie James had some good offense, but she lost a few steps and was actually kind of sloppy if you watch closely. Despite a flurry of offense from James, Layla still managed to win this match up.

Post match Michelle McCool and Layla fought off Beth Phoenix and tried to injure her.

Luke Gallows & CM Punk defeated Kane & Rey Mysterio

This match had some great moments, and it proved that all four guys can work well in tag team matches. However, it seemed to me that the highlight of this match was Cm Punk. Punk just kept moving forward and hitting his spots with such precision, that it’s no wonder that many podcasts are calling him the best Heel in the business right now. I liked the match for what it was, I don’t think Kane and Gallows deserved to be in here, as they are not exactly in major story lines on their own. Mysterio went for the huricanrana but wasn’t succseful and Punk was able to capitilze and get the roll up pin.

Post match, Punk attacked Mysterio only to get roped into a barbers chair outside, and Mysterio was going to shave his head but Serena saved punk…for now.

Alright, this night of Smackdown wasn’t half bad, it wasn’t that great either. I am intrigued to see Extreme Rulez, but I have no money and won’t see it. If you see it, let me know, or don’t…who cares.

Smackdown does have the most wrestling of all wwe shows, which is still a great reason to tune in Friday nights.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 2/13/10 Results and Review

I didn’t get to the comments because I had a family emergency this week, but managed to still watch wrestling. Keep the comments coming, I appreciate the support in that manner.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 2/13/10 Results

Rey Mysterio defeated CM Punk
Drew McIntyre defeated Kane
Layla & Michelle McCool defeated Mickie James
The Great Khali & Matt Hardy defeated the Hart Dynasty
R Truth defeated John Morrison due to injury
Chris Jericho defeated The Undertaker

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 2/13/10 Review

Rey Mysterio defeated CM Punk

A three star match if ever there was one on Smackdown. The crowd recognized it with praise for the near falls, and oohs and ahhs that are expected when dealing with these types of matches. Mysterio fought off the straightedge superstar for most of the match, but Punk was ready with counters for Mysterio’s extreme offense. The two went through some great points, and even the ending was good overall. Punk was ready to do the GTS but Mysterio managed to reverse it into a pinning combination and got the wind.

Post match Luke Gallows went to work on Mysterio laying him out with ease.

Drew McIntyre defeated Kane

Kane was up ahead in this match first, but after the commercial break Drew McIntyre had this match in the bag. He was fighting Kane like a stronger wrestler, that’s for sure. Kane get getting close to hitting the Chokeslam, but Drew kept powering out. The two landed on the outside and it looked like Kane was injured legit, but the two fought trying to get back in, but ended up brawling too long on the outside and this match ended in a double count out. Kane eventually got knocked down, and McIntyre treated Kane like a little punk. This match sucked, the crowd died, and Kane looked weak, even if he did eventually get the chokeslam.

Mickie James vs Layla

The two started a good back and forth start, but were interrupted by Vickie Guerrero. Backstage they covered her in cottage cheese. Guerrero turned this match into a handicap match…and Michelle McCool was added to the match up, even though McCool didn’t have ring gear on.

The match turned into a handicap match up.

Layla & Michelle McCool defeated Mickie James

This was definitely not going well for the champion, but she was fighting back both girls, giving it her best shot. McCool eventually got the win, and James was down again.

Batista came down to talk about why he did what he did, and wasted a lot of time. He never said a word.

The Great Khali & Matt Hardy defeated the Hart Dynasty

This was a non match, nothing big happened, and it was all just Hardy and Khali in a cluster finish and terrible match. Oh well.

R Truth defeated John Morrison due to injury

John Morrison landed wrong on his leg, and they stopped the match and awarded it to R Truth.

Edge came out and cut a promo, then Chris Jericho interrupted him and told him to stay away from him. It was boring…although it’s setting up Jericho vs Edge at Mania, that’s for sure.

Chris Jericho defeated The Undertaker

Chris Jericho and Undertaker were having one heck of a battle for free television and I liked it. Jericho and Taker really put on a quality effort in a short amount of time. Edge got involved, and the match continued, Undertaker got hit hard with a spear than a Code Breaker and he might be the next champion! I liked the finish, and I thought Undertaker was legit surprised. Great stuff here, I have no complaints.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 2/5/10 Results and Review Post Rumble Fallout

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 2/510 Results

John Morrison defeated Kane & Drew McIntyre in a triple threat match
R Truth defeated Mike Knox
Cm Punk defeated Batista via countout
Chris Jericho defeated Matt Hardy
Mickie James & Beth Phoenix defeated Layla & Michelle McCool
Rey Mysterio defeated Dolph Ziggler

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 2/5/10 Review

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

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

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

R Truth defeated Mike Knox

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

Cm Punk defeated Batista via countout

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

Chris Jericho defeated Matt Hardy

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

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

Mickie James & Beth Phoenix defeated Layla & Michelle McCool

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

Rey Mysterio defeated Dolph Ziggler

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

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

Final Thoughts

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

WWE Smackdown 12/11/09 Results and Review Hanukkah Night

WWE Smackdown 12/11/09 Results

Cm Punk & Luke Gallows defeated R. Truth & Matt Hardy
Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Eric Escobar
Kane defeated Mike Knox
Mickie James & Maria defeated Michelle McCool & Layla
Batista defeated Rey Mysterio in a street fight

WWE Smackdown 12/11/09 Review

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

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

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

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

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

Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Eric Escobar

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

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

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

Kane defeated Mike Knox

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

Mickie James & Maria defeated Michelle McCool & Layla

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

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

Batista defeated Rey Mysterio in a street fight

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

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

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