WWE Friday Night Smackdown 1/7/11 Review

I'm a little frustrated this morning. I've failed to make any money this year, and well last year I didn't have a job, so I'm starting this year off with a lousy week, and wrestling is well, hit or miss. I had high hopes for tonight, so we'll see if all works out with Smackdown.

Edge defeated Kane in a last man standing match

I hate last man standing matches, but these two made a good one out of what I hate. The two battled in the ring, then eventually battled it out in the crowd, and started to climb upwards to the upper deck seats. They made it to the top of the building and they started fighting near the luxury suites. This no doubt had the crowd going, and I was marking out huge, since I haven't seen this kind of violence since Mankind fought the Rock. The two would eventually go back to the ring, and Kane took control of this one. He beat down Edge and then threw him through the announce table. Edge managed to beat out Kane in this match up, which ended with Edge hitting his patented spear but Kane couldn't get up as his leg buckled under him from a chair shot. Yep, no blood, a few brawls in the concessions, and this was over. Edge beat kane in a 20+ minute battle. I liked it enough, but it wasn't a four star classic in any sense of the word.

Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler for the United States Title

This match was a nice back and forth match up with great action from both men. The match had the crowd going amidst lots of Kofi Kingston offense and a hard fought battle. Ziggler managed to fight through with some nice couners, and I thought he'd once again win, but nope. Kofi hit a nice crossbody and beat Ziggler, then immediately, Ziggler wanted a rematch but lost after Trouble in Paradise, and Kofi wins.

I'm hoping Dolph gets pushed towards the world title, as he's got a lot of wrestling talent. He put on a good show in the matches, and Kofi did a lot of work.

Dolph Ziggler defeated The Big Show, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes

A triple threat match for the #1 contender tot he world title? I like the idea. Drew McIntyre was supposed to be involved, but somehow he was sidestepped and Dolph Ziggler was put into the match up thanks to Vickie, making this a fourway match up. McIntyre was beat up and isolated, and then Big Show took control over most of this match up, stomping out all the smaller men, with relative ease. The Future Shock DDT was hit on Big Show and it looked like Big Show would lose this one in the end, but he couldn't pin the big man down. Ziggler managed to hit his finisher on Cody Rhodes, making Dolph Ziggler the #1 contender. This match was quite interesting, a good overall match up even though there were a lot of short stops and breathers. Edge will face Ziggler, and I for one think it can be one of the better feuds in recent memory.

Wade Barrett came out to beat up Big Show, which was weird.

Michelle McCool defeated Kelly Kelly

McCool had an ok match up, and beat down Kelly Kelly with relative ease. This match wasn't that great, but whatever.

Rey Mysterio defeated Alberto Del Rio in a 2 out of 3 falls match

This match was interesting, and Mystery managed to have a lot of great action in this one, despite having his arm injured. Alberto Del Rio was able to manage a lot of the offense and counter from time to time, but it was obvious that he was out matched by a much faster Mysterio. The two traded falls but in the end, the ring announcer helped Alberto Del Rio get the second fall and beat Rey Mysterio yet again! This match was good, don't get me wrong, I just don't know where they are going with this feud. I love Del Rio's gimmick, and I'm hoping that they continue this feud somehow.

Overall a good night of wrestling tonight on Smackdown, and something that if you saw, You enjoyed too, I hope. Post match Mysterio mixed it up with Del Rio's ring announcer, and this match was touted as the bitter end...but I'm hoping it isn't.

WWE Monday Night Raw 12/13/10 Review

Another 3 hour Raw? Are you serious? Come on!

David Arquette was the guest hot or something....former WCW champion!

The Slammy for the Shocker of the year went to:

Nexus

The show wasn't starting too well, at least in my book.

The Big Show defeated Wade Barrett via countout

This match was over after Wade got beat down and he quit. He walkd out after Big Show just beat the snot out of him, till Wade was black and blue all over, no joke. Big Show wins, but he got poked in the eye. Nothing major here.

The Slammy For Most Dispicable:

Cm Punk

I didn't care.

Kofi Kingston & Daniel Bryan defeated Ted Dibiase & Dolph Ziggler

This match wasn't that great, but it had a few good spots. Ted Dibiase was really trying to look more vicious, but it wasn't working out. Dolph got hit with some major offense, and in the end, Kofi and Bryan win and get to screw the Bella Twins...lucky guys. A short, fast, match with not a whole lot to speak of.

The Slammy For Guest Star Shining Moment Goes To:

Pee Wee Herman

I didn't care for this either.

Nexus was throwing a hissy fit against Barrett backstage. I've been sick of the Nexus since the stupid win at Summerslam.

Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated Mark Henry

This quick match had Mark Henry beating on Rhodes, but out of the blew, Cody Rhodes upset the big man, and it as over.

The Holy SH*#)@* Moment of the Year Slammy Goes to:

John Cena

I thought he was fired? Lame.

Wade Barrett rehired John Cena, and the two will fight in a chair match.

Nexus beat up John Cena...yep.

The Slammy For The Reaction of the Year Goes to:

Angry Miz Girl!

Hilarious.

THe Miz came out and interacted with the girl or whatever, it was ok...must be nice to get some love from WWE.

The Slammy for OH SNAP MELTDOWN Goes To:

Edge

John Morisson vs Sheamus double dq

The two basically brawled with each other, and nothing more. The match was thrown out, and the crowd was going nuts. The two redeemed themselves from last week's lame excuse for a feud builder.

The two will meet at TLC in a LADDER match.

The Slammy Award for Knucklehead Moment of the Year goes to:

Laycool

That's it...ugh.

Michelle McCool won a Slammy Battle ROyal

This was interesting, only because it lasted a few minutes. Yep, it didn't last very long at all.

Laycool will have to face Natlya & Beth Phoenix in a tables match

Edge defeated Jack Swagger

A squash match to say the least. Swagger was buried here, and I don't want to hear anyone say different. Edge sucks, but his music is awesome.

WWE Moment of the Year would give the Slammy To:

Shawn Michaels

I don't even remember anything about this year.

Randy Orton defeated David Arquette & Alex Riley

This was just sad, David Arquette completely got buried here, straight through a table. Arquette is hilarious, I'm sure he's ok. The Miz and Orton at TLC? I dunno, I don't care. Orton wins here, and no one was surprised.

And the Slammy for The And I Quote Line of the Year Goes To:

Michael Cole

Lame. I hate the guy...ugh...what a jerk.

Superstar of the Year Slammy Goes To:

JOHN CENA!!!!!

I hated this. Dude is lame. Ugh..so tired of Cena.

Otunga was fed to John Cena.

John Cena defeated David Otunga

Cena buried Otunga. That was that, just completely squashed Otunga. I hated it, you hated it, we all hated it.

John Cena wins! John Cena wins!

This night of raw wasn't half bad, 3 hours it wasn't. It was only 2 hours and 12 minutes, but I guess they can still say 3 hours. I enjoyed Raw, I didn't hate it all, but I felt that there was just something missing....I couldn't put my hand on it. Maybe it was just a lack of overall wrestling.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/26/10 Results

Kofi Kingston defeated Jack Swagger
Alberto Del Rio defeated The Big Show via countout
Drew McIntyre defeated MVP
Kelly Kelly defeated Michelle McCool
Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated Rey Mysterio

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/26/10 Review

The show started with the most boring man in professional wrestling, Kane. He cut a promo on Edge, and what not...I didn't care, you shouldn't care, the crowd wasn't really into it either. Edge came out and what not, and I didn't care...something about Kane getting on his knees...it was stupid. Kane vs Edge sucks, the beginning of this show was just terrible.

Kofi Kingston defeated Jack Swagger

Swagger and Kofi went into a back and forth battle for the King of the Ring qualification. This match was quite good, it had a lot of action, I thought there were some serious spots, and after Swagger hit his shoulder on the ring post, this thing was over. I didn't really care for the finish, but it was actually kind of good. Kofi moves onto the King of the Ring tournament.

Alberto Del Rio defeated The Big Show via countout

Del Rio couldn't get the big man down, and couldn't win the matchup by force, so he had his ring announcer get involved and that forced Big Show to lose via countout. That's right, a countout win for Del Rio and he moves on to. Not a great match, but it will have to do.

Drew McIntyre defeated MVP

This match was ok, MVP had a hurt arm or something and Drew wins. Drew sucks, but somehow, someway, this match was semi-interesting. I don't think Drew McIntyre will win this match, but we'll see. MVP continues to be hit or miss, and well, he's a far cry from his "MVP" gimmick that was good a few years back.

Kelly Kelly defeated Michelle McCool

This was a fluke roll up win, and nothing too special to mention. The match was ok enough, but Laycool got beat up by Beth Phoenix after the match. Phoenix had a knee brace, and she still managed to hit her finisher on Michelled McCool.

Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated Rey Mysterio

This match was ok enough, it wasn't exactly a thrilling match up. It had a few good moments, and Mysterio works really well with a much lighter Cody Rhodes, then he would with larger men. Mysterio hit his spots nicely, and showed no sign of injury at all. Del Rio helped Cody Rhodes at one point, and Mysterio dove into Del Rio on the outside. That woke up an otherwise tired crowd, and the match went on to be a wortwhile main event for Smackdown. A ref bump caused this match to really kick into high gear, in which Del Rio took advantage and helped Dashing Cody Rhodes defeat the higher flyer with Cross Rhodes.

Judging purely by wrestling and the matches they had on this show, it was a great one. I actually liked a lot of the wrestling, and the finish of the main event was really done well. Dashing Cody Rhodes, Del Rio, Kofi Kingston and Drew McIntyre will be in the King of the Ring tournament, creating quite an appealing 3 hour show. I'm excited to see how it will all turn out, and of course, The Miz's first night on Raw as the WWE champion should be good too. Wrestling is actually good for a change, too bad TNA can't take note, and too bad KANE sucks. I liked the show...now back to sleep I go.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Edge ran over a fake Paul Bearer with a car. That's how the show ended...worst feud ever.

WWE Hell In The Cell 2010 PPV Results and Review

WWE Hell In The Cell 2010 Results

Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz & John Morrison in a submissions count anywhere match
Randy Orton defeated Sheamus in a Hell in the Cell Match
Edge defeated Jack Swagger
Wade Barrett defeated John Cena
Natalya defeated Michelle McCool by disqualification
Kane defeated Undertaker in a hell in the cell match

WWE Hell In A Cell 2010 Review

Last night the WWE did yet another ppv with a theme. I am finally better from a cold, and am jacked on coffee, so here are my thoughts on the ppv that was....well....you'll see or didn't see...what do I know?

The opening match was the United States Title match...which was a surprise to me, but I guess it could've gotten good. My favorite falls count anywhere match? Kevin Sullivan vs Chris Benoit at The Great American Bash 1996.

Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz & John Morrison in a submissions count anywhere match

The match began fast paced, and the submissions were being taken out. We saw Cattle Mutilation at one point, Morrison using a variety of leg submissions, and The Miz also trying to get into the fray. The match was actually not haf bad, but if something stood out early on, it was Morrison's constant high risk offense, most of the time causing himself pain rather than hitting his opponents square. The guys ended up in the lower ramp area to the side of the stage, and this match was quickly turning into a "hardcore" match, rather than a submission match, but I was ok with that. I just want to note that Michael Cole, wasn't crazy here, and was finally just ok. Towards the end, or rather towards the midpoint, Morrison climbed to the top of a steel barricade about 15 feet up and hit a cross body on Miz & Bryan which just looked great. Shades of Superfly Snuka, he dove at least 15 feet...it was insane! John MOrrison had this match won with a Texas Cloverleaf on Miz but Alex Riley came out to stop it, and that left Daniel Bryan and Miz fighting on the ramp, to which Bryan locked in the Label Lock, forcing Miz to tap out clean. Bryan retains in a hard fought match. Michael Cole finally admitted that Bryan is the real deal! Not a 4 star match, but quite the fast paced, good overall submissions match. I liked it. A good opener.

The Second match of the night, oddly enough, was the WWE Title match and the first of two Hell In The Cell matches. Orton and Sheamus, second? I guess.

Randy Orton defeated Sheamus in a Hell in the Cell Match

There was no blood. There was some sweat, and this match was NOT brutal. There were some nice shots, and some good overall back and forth points, but Orton essentially buried Sheamus here. Orton's ribs were getting messed up throughout the match, but Sheamus hit Orton with EVERYTHING and Orton kicked out. He kicked out of chair shots, stair shots, the bro kick, and so much more. Super Orton hit the RKO to the Steel Steps and didn't look hurt or tired after he won. UGH! John Cena 2.0 is what we are seeing. The match was ok...just ok. It wasn't worth the price of admission, that's for sure. Orton wins. No one cares. This was NOT hell! Not even top 5 or Top 10...nothing.

Alberto Del Rio came out and cut a promo. He was stopped by Edge, who cut a promo, and then right when they were going to fight, Jack Swagger came out and talked about how he should be on the PPV.

Edge defeated Jack Swagger

The general manager computer said that Edge would face Swagger, so that match started next. The two put on an ok match, but the crowd was dead silent, and rightfully so. These two in an impromptu match? Not worth it. The rated PG "R" supserstar won this one...in one of the most boring matches I've ever seen. Edge wins...and no one, not even the crowd cared.

Wade Barrett defeated John Cena

For whatever reason the crowd was fully behind this one, and they were vocal about it. The match was another "John Cena" classic, meaning it was just back and forth with no real crazy action. Nexus came out and didn't interfere, and the locker room came down to help and ran them out of town. The match turned into a series of power moves and kickouts, and the only intriguing thing about this was the stipulation, which I wasn't sure would stick either way. This match was going downhill, and Cena was looking to be the overall winner and it was insane. There was a "FAN" that ran in and they were trying to get him out, meanwhile, a random guy jumped the baricade and hit John Cena with a pipe or something?!? It was weird, and looked "legit" and Cena was knocked out cold! That's right, the old, "random" fan run in thing....Cena was completely knocked out and people were stunned. This is pro wrestling folks, wrestling at its absolute dumbest and finest.

John Cena is now on the Nexus. Is he going to turn HEEL? I hope so. JOHN CENA GOES HEEL!

Natalya defeated Michelle McCool by disqualification

This match had some legit wrestling, which was odd. I liked the wrestling parts of this match, and with Layla getting in the way, this wasn't the worst divas match ever. When given time and some actual options in ring, the divas can go, at least these two can go. Layla threw her shoes at Natalya and got disqualified...and that was that. This match ended terribly, but it had some ok moments.

Kane defeated Undertaker in a hell in the cell match

The main event was the old men slugging away at each other. The final match of the night sucked, plain and simple. To big guys hitting each other with power moves and clothes lines. THere was some cage usage, and Kane got cut on his head, but overall, this was just a terrible match. Lots of punches and lots of power moves, with nearfalls etc. The crowd was dead for a lot of it, but were back in it towards the end. Bearer was locked outside of the cage, and wasn't a major factor until the end. A ref bump forced the officials to open the cage and that's when Paul Bearer came into the ring. Undertaker was going to get the win but Paul Bearer shown the Urn's light into Undertaker's eye and "turned" on him!?! Yes, Bearer Heel Turn! This was the DUMBEST STUPIDEST PIECE OF CRAP FINISH IN WWE HISTORY! Kane used the Urn on Taker! Ugh...so tired of this crap. Kane wins, worst match ever...ugh....so sick of this crap...this is just BS BS! WORST FINISH EVER! WORST! UGH SO SICK OF WWE and these two idiots. KANE SUCKS UNDERTAKER SUCKS UGH!!! BS!

Stupid night of wrestling. There were a few bright spots, but overall? This night of wrestling sucked. Face it. WWE hasn't provided a good ppv in a long time.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 9/3/10 Results

Christian defeated Drew McIntyre
Michelle McCool defeated Kelly Kelly
Dolph Ziggler defeated Chris Masters
Cody Rhodes defeated Fat Ass Matt Hardy
THe Big Show defeated Luke Gallows & CM PUnk

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 9/3/10 Review

I can't believe another week of smackdown has come and gone...it's definitely C level if not D level at this point.

The show started with Alberto Del Rio and a party of sorts.

Christian came out and called Del Rio JBL. Apparently Christian is going to start a feud with him? I guess so.

Alberto Del Rio didn't beat up Christian until Drew McIntyre showed up and did the dirty work. Del Rio is a great heel so far.

Christian defeated Drew McIntyre

Despite getting an upper hand before the match, Drew fell to Christian! That's right, Christian finally wins a match, and while the match wasn't exactly a 4 star classic, it managed to be good enough for me. Christian wins, making him stronger going into a feud with Alberto Del Rio.

Michelle McCool defeated Kelly Kelly

Not much of a match here. Kind of boring. Michelle wins...I don't care, you don't either.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Chris Masters

Chris masters loses this piece of crap match. Ziggler wins with relative ease, even though Masters did put on a few good counters, and moves. It didn't matter. Ziggler wins, you don't care I don't care.

THe Big Show defeated Luke Gallows & CM PUnk

The big show wins another squash kind of match. Sure, Show took some offense, but no one cared, and this was just stupid. Big Show wins again.

The MVP Lounge was hosted by Jack Swagger...and it was dumb. Jack Swagger's guest was his dad...in a wheel chair. Wow...what a terrible feud.

Cody Rhodes defeated Fat Ass Matt Hardy

This match was short and stupid. Matt Hardy sucks, he's fat and shouldn't ever be allowed on tv.

The Show ended with kane and undertaker doing something stupid...I was bored.....and this was stupid. WORST FEUD EVER!

This was quite possibly the worst smackdown episode ever!!!!!!!

WWE Superstars 8/12/10 Results

Chavo Guerrero defeated Chris Masters
The Usos defeated Goldust & Yoshi Tatsu

WWE Superstars 8/12/10 Review

I'm dead tired this week. I still don't have a job, but wrestling is a nice escape from time to time.

The Usos defeated Goldust & Yoshi Tatsu

This match was dumb. Sure, it had a bunch of great spots...er...just spots. Goldust should be given a better run, a title run, and his old gimmick back with lots of vignettes and homophobia inducing manuevers. Remember when he cost Razor the title? That was awesome! Remember the Golden Casket match? oh man! Goldust can still go, someone give him a shot! The Usos are lame, fire them already.

Chavo Guerrero defeated Chris Masters

I don't care. You don't care. Guerrero is ok, but he needs to go to TNA or something. Sorry, Eddie carried the little guy, and yet he actually was interesting in WCW.

Michelle McCool defeated Kelly Kelly

The divas had a better match than I expected. McCool can wrestle, if given time and what not. I think Kelly Kelly needs to just go, her botches are becoming epic, and well...I'm tired of her. MCCool wins with her AJ Styles finisher, and that was that.

Superstars is the best pure wrestling show that the WWE pushes out, but that isn't necessarily a great thing, just sayin.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/30/10 Results

Christian defeated Drew McIntyre
Big Show defeated Luke Gallows via dq
Dolph Ziggler defeated Kofi Kingston via dq
Michelle McCool defeated Tiffany
Jack Swagger vs Rey Mysterio

WWE Friday NIght Smackdown 7/30/10 Review

The show opened with a recap of last week's boring ass Kane promo. I'm tired of KANE and I'm tired of this thing leading to an Undertaker vs Kane battle....in fact, I'm sick of Smackdown.

The show had Kane cutting yet another promo, and it was stupid. I hate Kane.

Christian defeated Drew McIntyre

This match was given quite some time and it was interesting to see the back and forth movements from these two. Christian seemed like the obvious winner and McIntyre didn't really seem to be all there. Sure, he had a few great spots but nothing ppv quality. Christian was thrown into the ring post several times and I thought the standard Christian finish would've been given, but nope, he won with a roll up. Yep. A quick roll up finish for this one, and Christian wins. It was a fun match to watch, but I'm not sure why the match even took place.

Big Show defeated Luke Gallows via dq

This match sucked. Big SLOW sucks, and Luke Gallows is now a tired character. The Straightedge Society ganged up on Big SHow and beat him up and then tried to break his arm. That's the most of this match up. I guess Show will have a cast sooner than later. Whatever. This match was stupid, and I guess Show is going to take a break.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Kofi Kingston via dq

What is this a house show? This match was ok, I like Ziggler enough, but I've already seen this match. Ziggler managed to get some good offense, but it was Kofi that ended up getting the upper hand, so much so that he got himself disqualified. There's not much to say about this match other than it was your standard match up between these two. Oh well...Ziggler gets a shot at the Intercontinental championship.

Michelle McCool defeated Tiffany

This match was stupid. THe divas aren't that good, and even though Michelle McCool had to fight Tiffany a bit harder than other matches, this match ended with McCool winning. Hey, it's a divas match, not sure what people expected.

Jack Swagger vs Rey Mysterio

I'm not sure what the point of this match was. Yes it was NO DQ but it was stupid. THe match was fought out of the ring into the crowd into the Corpus Christi waters! Swagger ended up out int he ocean and yelling for help! Apparently Swagger couldn't swim? I don't know, Mysterio looked on and just watched him drown. I don't know...this is just stupid.

Kane came out and threw Mysterio into the water.

That was the end of Smackdown.

Worst smackdown in a long time.

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 7/2/10 Review

First and foremost, happy 4th of July to all 3 of you readers in the United States. To the rest of you, um...I don't know.

Anyone watching the World Cup? All my teams are out. Mexico, Argentina, England, United States, Paraguay, and Portugal are all out. Now I'm stuck cheering for any Spanish speaking country, but I have a sinking feeling that the Netherland will face off against Germany in the finals.

The Smackdown show started with a recap of CM Punk getting beat up from last week. Word on the street is that Punk is injured, Kane is getting a push, and I'm still looking for a guest blogger. That's right, before I continue, I need to make a call out to anyone that wants to help me with this site. I need someone to watch and review nxt and superstars, write a review of their thoughts, and collaborate with me to find more reasons to post.

Jack Swagger opened up the show, and he reminds me of a guy that works at a jewelry store here in Moscow, Idaho. Swagger sucks, without a title, I don't care about his character, or his lisp. Big Show came out to interrupt Swaggers rant about how he can beat up Big Show. Big Show limped down to the ring and was ambushed by Dashing Cody Rhodes and Swagger in a two on one beat down. I like this new, more violent, Cody Rhodes.

Rey Mysterio ran down for the save on Big show, and show and Rey cleared the ring together.

Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler

Last year, Dolph Ziggler fought Rey Mysterio in a 5 star classic, now he's jobbing out to Kofi Kingston? Ok, he's not jobbing, but he's not exactly the same wrestler. This match wasn't half bad, it featured a good overall amount of action, which was interesting to note. Kofi's fast paced offense was quite good and stunned Ziggler keeping him out of the ring for a few parts of this match. The match picked up pace, and this thing was headed for a quality finish, I hoped, and it sure was. There were some great spots towards the end, and the crowd got into it. Kofi threw some nice high flying moments, and Ziggler's counters weren't half bad, but it was Kofi that got the upper hand and won the match. Kofi's been on another roll as of late, hopefully it continues. Isn't he from Ghana? Too bad about that Ghana team eh? That striker for Ghana is the new Gordon Bombay, eh? Eh? SOS! Kofi wins.

Christian's Peep Show was in ring with ladders all around. Fat Ass Matt Hardy was his guest and the two talked about the Money In The Bank Ladder match and ppv that is coming up. The two argued a little bit and started to brawl, or rather Christian attacked but was taken out by Hardy. I'm not sure why this match turned out this way, who's the good guy here? Hardy came across as a jerk, and he's fat, fatter than Mickie James, and yet they didn't fire Hardy yet.

A new segment for Del Rio, Alberto? A new wrestler that is coming to Smackdown? I haven't seen this type of introduction in a while, not since Kizarni! I don't know, if the guy can work, maybe it will be a good one.

Kane defeated Luke Gallows via DQ

I think this match ended in a disqualification. Luke Gallows did not get much offense until towards the end of the match. Kane was dominant for the most part, but I didn't care. Kane is no longer the big red machine to me, he's the big SLOW machine. Although I did pop for his “goozle”, I hate that word, and apparently chokeslams are PG. The secret member of the Straightedge Society interfered and that prompted CM Punk to get involved, if only to nearly get pummeled by Kane. The leading lady of the Straightedge society came in ring and saved Punk from getting mopped up.

Sarena got on the apron with a microphone, and she said that Punk was saving her, but Kane didn't believe, which prompted a video of Punk saving Sarena from what appears to be a bar? This was pretty lame, I haven't seen something so stupid in a while. Punk then cast out Sarena? I don't know, they are breaking up or something? Who cares, do you?

MVP is still employed? What the heck? He hasn't been relevant in a long time.

MVP defeated Chavo Guerrero

Wait, Chavo Guerrero is still employed? He got squashed by MVP in a quick match up. So sad to see Chavito Heat getting killed. Remember when he had quality matches in WCW against...oh right...Eddie Guerrero (RIP). This match sucked, just filler.

That Ricky Steamboat DVD set looks good. Maybe some of you might buy it via amazon lnks on this site. (please)

Kelly Kelly defeated Michelle McCool

Michelle McCool still manages to be part of the women's championship, and it's boring to me. She hasn't been relevant to me in a while. She started out by beating up Tiffany on the outside of the ring. Layla is beautiful in person, I can attest to that, but I don't watch wrestling for the women, I watch it for “wrestling”. Remember when the divas had good wrestling? Remember when the knockout division was the best thing on TNA? Well that's just a memory, as this isn't very good. There were a few moments of aggression, which were interesting to note, but overall, this match wasn't nearly as good as anyone would expect. I'm pretty sure McCool could probably beat me up. Like anyone cares. Kelly Kelly won in a surprise of sorts, and that was that.

Another promo for Alberto Del Rio, and I like the guys promo, but if he can't wrestle, then I don't care.

Rey Mysterio & Big Show defeated Jack Swagger & Cody Rhodes via DQ

I'm tired of tag match main events from hot shot tag teams and feuds. Although, it was nice to see Dashing Cody Rhodes in the main event. The match was your standard tag team fare, and it featured a lot of action. Rey Mysterio was isolated, of course, as the weak champion that they always book him as. Swagger and Cody Rhodes were like a well oiled machine in ring, and that was nice to see. They fully had control over Mysterio in this match, and it looked like Mysterio was in for a loss, if you didn't know anything about wrestling. Jack Swagger refused to release the ankle lock on Mysterio and the match was over via DQ...I'm so tired of non-finishes in wrestling.

This week of wrestling wasn't thrilling, and I was more excited about the World Cup. The NXT angle needs to spill over to Smackdown, instead of just Raw, just like the New World Order did in WCW. Other than that, if you missed Smackdown, you didn't miss a whole lot. Once again, I'm sick of these non-finishes.

Smackdown ended with Big Show crying and apologizing about not being there for Mysterio, and Mysterio looked like he was injured.

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 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 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.

Jack Swagger defeated Edge and Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat Title Match

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review 4/16/10

Edge and Chris Jericho opened the show arguing about who can beat Swagger and Orton. It was your average opening, and you know? Despite the two guys being good, I’m sick of the repetition in the wwe right now.

Drew McIntyre defeated Kane via disqualification

Kane and Drew McIntyre put on a halfway decent match in this match up. Kane was fighting hard, and Drew managed to get the win after Hardy threw Drew back in the ring. McIntyre was trying to leave and get counted out, but in a bizarre enforcement of the rules, the referee disqualified Kane! This match was decent, but come on, now you’re going to enforce the rules? This makes no sense.

Dolph Ziggler defeated R Truth

This match had Truth looking as good as ever. He was flipping and flopping through Ziggler with relative ease. However, he made a mistake and Ziggler made him pay for it! Ziggler hit the sleeper hold and wouldn’t let go, winning the match! The sleeper hold is back in full effect, which is weird in modern professional wrestling. I can’t believe it, Ziggler wins with the sleeper.

Michelle McCool defeated Mickie James

This was the longest divas match that the WWE has allowed in a long time. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all that good. McCool and James did manage to put on a halfway decent match up, but it wasn’t full of wrestling, it was a lot of resting and running, and then with a quick interference and a kick to the face McCool wins again.

Post match, Beth Phoenix came to save the day, and chased out team LayCool.

The Hart Dynasty & Rey Mysterio defeated Straightedge Society & Darren Young

Darren Young was the highlight of this match, not because of his offense, but because he was getting worked, and was working well with the straightedge society. Other than that, this match was a back and forth affair that was given some good time. I liked it, but it seemed like I have already seen this at a different time. The win came when DH Smith hit the running powerslam on C.M. Punk for the three count. Not a bad match, but not a great one either.

JTG defeated Croft

JTG in singles competition completely bored me. Cryme Tyme had something, but solo? They just aren’t that good in my opinion. JTG and Croft put together a random, and non-eventful match.

Post match, Shad came out and beat up JTG, and that was that. The lowest point of Smackdown had arrived. I don’t care about this feud at all.

Jack Swagger defeated Edge and Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat Title Match

In one of the longest main events on Smackdown, a triple threat match for the World Title was held, and it wasn’t half bad. I don’t believe it was ppv quality, but it was quite good. There were plenty of near falls, finishing moves, and lots of moments where it looked like any of the three would win. Jericho still had his ribs taped, so he was selling the believability of being injured, and let Edge and Swagger do most of the heavy lifting. Edge hit a huge spear towards the end of the match, and I thought this one was over, but nope, Swagger was able to pull Edge out and pin Jericho to retain the world title in one of the best free matches of the year. Swagger wins a hard fought battle, in this exciting triple threat match.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 2/26/10 Review

Chris Jericho opened up the show by getting on the mic, and showing off the gold yet again. Edge came out and cut a promo against Chris Jericho. Jericho hit Edge with the belt only to get speared after a failed Codebreaker attempt.

Dolph Ziggler defeated John Morrison and R Truth in a triple threat money in the bank qualifier

Not a bad match, lots of back and forth action from these three, with Morrison looking to win this thing after Starship Pain on Truth. However, Dolph Ziggler bounced back from a sick bump off the apron to get the quick win. Ziggler is back in action and will most likely get another good push at Wrestlemania and afterwards. Ziggler really bumped well here and Morrison didn’t fake an injury for once, which was a nice thing to look at. Truth as always was doing his thing, but just couldn’t overcome the number game.

Michelle McCool defeated Mickie James w/ special guest referee Vickie Guerrero

This match was a throwback to classic screw job matches for titles. Michelle McCool had Vickie Guerrero in her back pocket and it showed as she showed favor to McCool throughout the match. After Guerrero took a small bump she attacked Mickie James and caused her to lose the title! McCool is your new wwe women’s champion.

Kane defeated Drew McIntyre in a money in the bank qualifying match

Kane couldn’t put away Drew for the Intercontinental Title but he somehow was able to beat him here to qualify for Money in the Bank. I didn’t find this match very entertaining at all. Drew got worked and hopefully he’s on his way out, because he has the charisma of a wet blanket.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Cm Punk in a money in the bank qualifying match

CM Punk was in a half-way decent match with Shelton Benjamin and things were going well for the straightedge super-star but after interference from Rey Mysterio this match was all over. This wasn’t that good, but hey, it was on free tv.

Edge defeated The Miz

This match wasn’t all that great, but it had a few good spots to check out. The Miz has really shown he can main event television and we’ll see if his push continues. Edge really looked strong, but lighter than I’ve seen him in previous years. Edge won this match to a semi-cheering crowd, not as large as I’d expect, but that’s just me.

Overall the show was ok, nothing too great in my view. I didn’t find it all that amazing, and didn’t really care. Maybe I’m just tired this week.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2010 Review

John Cena defeated Triple H, Ted Dibiase, Randy Orton, and Kofi Kingston in the elimination chamber to capture the WWE championship

John Cena opened up the show and the first participant in the Chamber! The crowd blew up huge for this, and it looked pretty cool.

John Cena, Ted Dibiase, Randy Orton and Triple H were stuck in the pods while Kofi Kingston and Sheamus started the match

The pop for Randy Orton was huge. The guy is bound for the anti-hero face turn, he’s just bound for it.

I wasn’t sure who’d walk out big at this ppv, so I was blind to the start, Kofi and Sheamus. Kofi and Sheamus really started well, Kofi was all over the champion. I thought Kofi was going to really upset the champion, as it looked great to me. Sheamus was in control and the countdown began for the next competitor.

Triple H was next.

Triple H got into the ring and he stared down Sheamus…could this be Wrestlemania?

Triple H started with big right hands but Sheamus stopped that fast and wasn’t letting himself get outwrestled by the Champion, but then a big knee to the head really changed that up fast. Sheamus was reeling, and Kofi was outside the ring on the metal. Kofi got back into the match and was on fire against Sheamus and Triple H. Kofi hit Triple H on the metal apron with a Boom Dropbut landed on his backbone and looked hurt.

Randy Orton was next.

Randy Orton jumped into the match and blew open the doors. He was hitting everyone that was in the ring and was not letting up. He blasted ever single person in the ring, and started to work on Sheamus, and was getting the fan reaction of a face! My pick at this point in the match was definitely Orton, he was looking like a top notch talent. Kofi leaped off the top rope mid match and Orton hit him in mid air with a perfect dropkick defense! It was picture perfect, mid air dropkick by Orton on Kofi! I marked out huge, and after the initial pop, the crowd went silent as Orton looked to fight off Triple H next. Orton threw everyone over the top rope to the metal grating, and looked strong as he was fighting to get the win. Sheamus got the better of Orton throwing him into ring post.

Ted Dibiase was next.

Dibiase jumped into the match fresh and clean, hitting Triple H with huge right hands, then looking around to see who he’d hit next with his right hands…then he was read to attack Randy Orton, but instead offered his hand to help him out. The two started to fight together and worked on Triple H! Randy Orton with Dibiase’s help got a huge ddt on the metal grating, knocking him out nicely. Afterwards, the two friends got right in front of the door of the pod that John Cena was in and it was on!

Cena was next.

John Cena fought through both Orton and Dibiase on his way to nearly eliminating Orton right away. He was on fire and was huge, getting the crowd cheering with every move he had. He hit a huge leg drop to the back of the neck, and I was excited to see what he had in mind. Cena hit a huge Attitude Adjustment on Dibiase to the metal grating on the outside! Orton then took control and I was into the match finally!

This match was definitely looking good to me so far. Finally a good match! Dibiase was nearly eliminated but Orton saved him and was telegraphing the RKO…but out ran Cody Rhodes! Rhodes threw in a Metal Pipe and Dibiase grabbed it! DIBIASE HIT ORTON FIRST WITH THE METAL PIPE AND THEN JOHN CENA!

DIBIASE PINNED and ELIMINATED RANDY ORTON! The crowd was in complete shock and ORTON was OUT cold! There is going to be Hell to pay for Dibiase after this match that’s for sure. I liked this, the Metal Pipe shot to Orton’s head really shocked the crowd and his elimination sent a chill up my spine. I couldn’t believe I was excited.

Trouble In Paradise was hit on Dibiase and Kofi eliminated Dibiase!

Sheamus hit Kofi with a big boot and his finisher, eliminating Kofi Kingston with a sick move. Razor Ramon, eat your heart out, Sheamus made the Razor’s Edge look good again.

Then there were three.

Triple H eliminated Sheamus after a pedigree! That’s right TRIPLE H ELIMINATED SHEAMUS!

Then there was only two.

After a few minutes, John Cena made Triple H tapout to the STFU! He tapped after a long battle, and John Cena was completely gone…spent, and the new champion!

John Cena is the NEW CHAMPION!

Vince McMahon came out and said that John Cena will have to first battle the next guy….BATISTA!

BATISTA shows up! Batista, THE ANIMAL, will face John Cena for the title!

Batista defeated John Cena to become the new WWE Champion

The match started with John Cena starting with a big right hand, and only made Batista made. Batista hit a HUGE SPEAR! THE BIGGEST SPEAR OF HIS CAREER THEN NEARLY KILLED CENA WITH A HUGE BATISTA BOMB!!!!

Batista is the new WWE CHAMPION! HOLY CRAP!

Drew McIntyre defeated Kane in the Intercontinental Championship Match

Kane started this match strong, hitting drew with some big right hands and then systematically trying to break him down with power moves, and offense. However, Drew changed things around and started to hit Kane with huge right hands, but couldn’t keep the Big Red Machine down. Drew McIntyre was in trouble and was about to get hit with the big Chokeslam, but McIntyre kept trying to fight back, even though he looked defeated on the outside of the ring. Drew hit Kane with a thumb to the eye than landed his Future Shock DDT finisher to retain the title in this somewhat boring intercontinental title match.

Gail Kim and Maryse were set to battle it out in the finals of the divas championship match. But Vickie Guerrero came out and changed the plans. So we would get a tag team match instead of the finals…lame.

Michelle McCool & Layla defeated Maryse & Gail Kim

This match wasn’t half bad, Gail Kim did a good job carrying her side. Maryse wouldn’t tag in, and Michelle McCool and Layla were showing bright spots to the wwe’s women’s division. This was definitely a change of pace in a lot of ways, because this match wasn’t just quick and done. Gail Kim just got worked in this match and was eventually knocked out cold with Michelle McCool’s finisher. This match was just the destruction of Gail Kim…sadly, the former knockouts champion and bright spot of the TNA knockouts.

Post match, Maryse hit Gail Kim with her French Kiss DDT and that was the end…finally I liked the divas for a moment in time.

William Regal got in the ring and was blabbering but out came Edge to interrupt him and cut a counter promo? Who cares? Not me. It was stupid to me. I was bored. Edge once again pushes his promo on who he is going to choose.

Regal got a spear for no apparent reason.

The Miz defeated MVP in the U.S Title Match

MVP started this match fast and hard. The Miz was taking a lot of shots, and was getting worked hard. MVP was definitely fighting strong style, and Miz was able to just keep in there. MVP was slowed down midway through this match but then shot up and drilled Miz with a huge right hand, but couldn’t capitalize on the big punch. The Miz seemed to have this thing in the bag and after a while this thing just looked like a Miz highlight reel until he made a mistake and MVP hit a huge belly to belly over the top suplex off the top rope! The Miz busted himself open the hard way with a headbutt. Mark Henry broke the guardrail when Big Show moved out of the way, and that was a highlight, but inside the ring, the Yakuza kick missed and Miz distracted the ref while Big Show hit Miz with a huge right hand, and Miz retains! Not a terrible match, the pacing was a little slow, but I liked how Henry killed the guard rail, the big suplex, and the Miz getting busted open the hard way was good too.

The second elimination chamber was next, and after the first one, I was really excited to see what was going to happen.

Chris Jericho defeated The Undertaker, Cm Punk, John Morrison, R Truth, and Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio, John Morrison, Chris Jericho and The Undertaker started inside the pods.

CM Punk got on the mic and it was gold again. He had a captive audience and relly just sold it, the guy doesn’t need a title, he’s amazing on the mic.

CM Punk and R Truth started the match.

I thought Shawn Michaels was going to knock someone out to get a shot inside, but so far, nope. Truth had complete control over Punk and at one point Truth did a complete flip off the top rope onto Punk, and this thing was just all TRUTH on Punk. It was quite the opening, that’s for sure. Punk hit a huge kick and then the GTS and BOOOM eliminated R TRUTH!

Before the time limit expired, Truth was gone and Punk got on the mic for another sermon! Wow!

CM Punk eliminated R Truth.

Rey Mysterio was next.

Myserio and Punk fought, with Mysterio fighting fast and hard. Punk was out classed right away with Mysterio being fresh. Punk was definitely caught off guard, that’s for sure. Mysterio looked to be setting up the 619 but Punk woke up fast and hit a huge power slam to stop Mysterio’s offense. He then set up the GTS but Mysterio countered and this one looked great to start. Punk threw Mysterio into the cage ad into the glass of the pods and was really hitting hard, but Mysterio wasn’t going down without a fight. Mysterio rose to the top of one of the pods, but Punk chased him and the two fought on the top rope. Punk got hit hard in the exchange, Mysterio turned things around, hit a huge splash and eliminated CM PUNK!

Chris Jericho was next.

Jericho and Mysterio exchanged moves, and Jericho got the better of the exchange because he was fresh. Mysterio hit the 619 and Jericho barely managed to roll outside of the ring and countered Mysterio’s high flying offense fast. Jericho bought himself some time and Mysterio was screaming in pain as he hit the metal apron hard. Mysterio’s Lucha Style Dragon Sleeper was impressive, but Jericho twisted it into the Walls of Jericho and really had Mysterio. But the next pod was about to open!

Morrison was next.

Morrison fought Jericho first and really tried to make a statement, getting some fast offense, but he also hit Mysterio, so it wasn’t one sided. Morrison was rocked hard as Mysterio knocked him off the top rope and into one of the pods. Morrison was set up for the 619 but Jericho hit a huge Tilt-O-World backbreaker. Mysterio fought a good battle and it looked like he had this thing in the bag at many different points of the match up. Mysterio was aiming for a huge Hurricanrana but held onto the ropes, and then hit Starship Pain! John Morrison eliminated Rey Mysterio!

Jericho and Morrison were left to fight each other off now, and Undertaker was in the chamber. Only good would come of this. Morrison was placed into the Walls of Jeriho, as the countdown for Taker was going down.

Undertaker was next and he jumped in fresh and was fighting great overall. However, Jericho and Morrison still had to fight and the two were pushing the Undertaker out of the match by working together. Jericho was busted open the hard way at this point, and the three were really fighting through some sick moments. Jericho tried to hide in a pod but Undertaker cornered him inside and was fighting hard and fast…leaving Jericho half dead inside a pod. Morison hit the Undertaker hard and it looked like he re-injured his leg, and went for Starship Pain, but Taker got the knee up and stopped it! Jericho was ready to fight, but he locked himself in a pod to avoid Undertaker and Morrison again. Morrison was victim to the Taker and as soon as Taker looked like he was going to hit the Last Ride, Jericho jumped out of his chamber and attacked at will!

This match was definitely living up to the hype, and was just as good as the first chamber match. Morrison got slammed hard on the steel apron outside the ring and looked like Taker had this one in the bag. After that he eliminated Morrison, and there was only two men left…Jericho and Undertaker and Taker meant business at this point. Jericho took his time and carefully plotted his move, while the crowd was firmly behind The Undertaker.

Jericho hit a good mid-rope Superplex and this thing looked great. I liked it. Jericho looked like he might be able to pin the world champion. Jericho slapped the Walls of Jericho on Undertaker and right in the middle of the ring! Taker turned it around and locked in Hell’s Gate on Jericho! Jericho fought away and got to the outside on the apron! Jericho hit a huge CODEBREAKER and I thought this one was over! After 2 and a quarter Taker pulled a shoulder up and that was insane! Jericho looked defeated, but he kept fighting Undertaker. Undertaker set up the Last Ride and Jericho was dead. He was completely dead, Jericho was finally put away….but Taker didn’t capitalize.

Undertaker then looked like he was going to end this thing with a Tombstone Piledriver! Out of nowhere, SHAWN MICHAELS SHOWED UP FROM UNDER THE GRATING! HBK KNOCKED OUT UNDERTAKER!

CHRIS JERICHO rolled over and PINNED UNDERTAKER! HBK COST TAKER THE MATCH! JERICHO PINNED TAKER!

CHRIS JERICHO IS THE NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!

HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP! JERICHO WINS! JERICHO WINS!

This ppv really was worth it…man if you saw you had to like it. DANG HBK COSTS TAKER THE TITLE!

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 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.
