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.

Cm Punk defeated Batista via countout

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 Friday Night Smackdown 1/22/10 Results

Finlay defeated Batista by dq
John Morrison & R Truth defeated Drew McIntyre & Chris Jericho
Matt Hardy & The Great Khali defeated The Hart Dynasty
Cryme Tyme vs Mike Knox & Charlie Haas no contest

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 1/22/10 Review

Batista came out, and he is looking jacked. I don’t think he’s been this jacked in a long time. He’s obviously on the juice, there’s just no way he can’t be. I could be wrong, but he’s completely jacked, and looking huge.

Finlay defeated Batista by dq

Finlay loos like a grown up “Bobby Hill” from King of the Hill, at least on my tv. I have no high-def, in case you were wondering. My tv is so old, it’s got a wooden frame around it. Yeah, I’m broke and poor…sorry.

Finlay started this match fast, he was taking it to Batista, and Batista was definitely off his game early in the match, which was odd for me. This match was very short lived because once Finlay and Batista got outside it was thrown out by the referee. Finlay was dismantled on the outside with Batista throwing Finlay into the steps, the pole, and the announce table. He was just in street fight mode, which was hilarious to me. A wasted match, if you ask me.

Batista continued to beat up Finlay, and got on the mic and said he was going to win the Rumble. I highly doubt it, Batista winning? Na.

Punk and Luke came out to do another promo and it was great. He just keeps getting better on the mic, despite the similar promo’s he’s cutting on a daily basis. Cm Punk was interrupted by a woman fan, which was interesting to say the least. It might have been a plant, I don’t know. Either way, Punk once again saves another fan? They should use these segments to build Punk’s stable. Just like WCW did in the late 90’s with RAVEN! Raven started gaining a flock by beating his opponents and then recruiting them into the flock, or have we already forgotten?

These segments take a lot longer than I thought, and it’s just overkill, if you think about it. Punk shaves this girl’s head, and it’s weird. Punk is getting very creepy and that’s good, but these segments are taking a lot of valuable wrestling time, if you ask me.

John Morrison & R Truth defeated Drew McIntyre & Chris Jericho

This was originally a handicap match set to punish Morrison, but Teddy Long turned it into a tag match. I would’ve preferred the handicap match, that would’ve been interesting, but hey, Truth isn’t half bad sometimes, so I guess we’ll get a tag team match up afterall.

This match wasn’t half bad, it had some good overall action. Morrison was isolated for a good part of the match, and there were some good moments with him coming back with some quick tags by Jericho and McIntyre. R Truth got the hot tag and cleaned house, but Morrison came in and helped out, winning the match overall. This match wasn’t half bad, and I liked it, for what it was.

Layla and McCool threw a piggy james arty of sorts. Maria came out to defend her, and then Mickie James came out to cut a promo as well. This whole thing is boring to me, I’m sorry it’s just stupid overall. I don’t really care about these divas, and their petty promo’s and discussions. These things bore me.

Cryme Tyme vs Mike Knox & Charlie Haas no contest

This match was thrown together late, I’m sure. It never really started as Kane came down and threw everyone over the top rope.

How is Charlie Haas still employed? This was dumb, I guess we’re not getting any wrestling tonight are we?

Matt Hardy & The Great Khali defeated The Hart Dynasty

This match wasn’t much to look at. The match was going fine, starting up nicely but quickly dissolved. Natalya distracted Khali on the outside, but that didn’t help, because Hardy got the win with a roll up. This was so fast, that it was like not having a match at all. The Hart Dynasty have yet to impress me, and that’s a sad notion considering their heritage in wrestling.

Mysterio called out Undertaker, and was attacked afterwords by Batista.

Final Thoughts

For a show that everyone says is better than Raw, this one sure was light on the wrestling and heavy on the talking. So much so that I could just see the Southpark parody about how these shows have little to no actual action. Sadly, this show bored me…except for a few key moments, but it just didn’t seem like the better show, that’s for sure.

ECW on ScyFy 12/29/09 Review

Matt Hardy defeated Finlay

In a back and forth match, Hardy’s left leg was isolated and he was having a hard time moving forward. However, Finlay made one small mistake and Matt Hardy made him pay. This wasn’t a terrible match, and Finlay was looking a lot more vicious than he previously has. He couldn’t put away Hardy though, and after a Twist of Fate (albeit botched) Hardy advances in the “tournament” of the homecoming guys.

Evan Bourne defeated Mike Knox

Not much to look at here. Evan Bourne does the impossible and buries Mike Knox. This match had a few spots, but it was so unbelievable that I didn’t care for it much.

Zack Ryder defeated Tommy Dreamer

This is the last Tommy Dreamer match. It is going to be the end of ECW, since he’s the last remnant of the original ECW. Good riddance….not for Dreamer, but the brand. It’s not anywhere near as good as the original. Dreamer had Ryder reeling for a few moments, and I really was believing that Dreamer was going to win this one, but I remembered that WWE never lets anyone look strong on their way out. This match, towards the end, was in slow motion as Dreamer was obviously winded. Ryder went to the top rope but was foiled by dreamer, and we got the tree of Woe one last time!

Dreamer got a three count, but Ryder's foot was outside of the ring so the ending didn't count. The match was restarted....much to the dismay of anyone watching. Dreamer went for a back suplex but it was reversed and Ryder won via pinfall.

Goodbye Tommy Dreamer, we'll see ya in TNA probably.

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.

R. Truth defeated CM Punk via disqualification
Kane defeated Mike Knox
Mickie James defeated Natalya and Beth Phoenix in a triple threat match
Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison (non title match)
The Hart Dynasty defeated Escobar
Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Cryme Tyme

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/4/09 Review

The show started with CM Punk and Luke Gallows coming to the ring. I knew what was coming, but my eye hurt, so I didn’t write it down right away.

R. Truth defeated CM Punk via disqualification

CM Punk and R Truth could put a good match together, and prove to be good overall. However, this match wasn’t even close to being good at all. It was obviously headed towards a disqualification finish, and when Gallows interfered that’s exactly what we got. I like Punk with a bodyguard, and this mean streak keeps growing. I don’t dislike it, I just feel that we could use more clean finishes in wrestling. I mean, what is this? TNA? Geez.

And now ladies and gentleman, the big man slow match…what is this the 1980’s?

Kane defeated Mike Knox

I hate big man matches. I think it’s because I’ve seen them too many times. Sure they guys can move, but I’m not a fan of either right now. Kane has slowed down since his days as Isaac Yankem and Mike Knox hasn’t been relevant for a long time it seems. Kane essentially put away Mike Knox, and it’s time to fire him. Knox sucks now. Kane sucks too. This match was standard, but it ended with a good choke slam.

Jericho and Big Show backstage with Josh had the longest, and I do mean longest, promo I’ve seen in a long time. This thing was long, longer than anything in recent years. This was a main throwback to the 80’s, and if you saw it, you know what I’m talking about.

Mickie James defeated Natalya and Beth Phoenix

Best part about this triple threat match? A sick double clothesline between Phoenix and Natalya! Picture perfect, and just sick. These three are the best wrestlers in the divas division, and wow, they put on a few good shots in there. Mickie James edged out a victory after some time, and near falls. So now, Mickie James is the #1 contender.

Mickie James went nuts and started to fight McCool and Layla at ringside, and out of the back came Maria to help her out.

Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison

Drew finally gets a shot at some serious competition, and he didn’t disappoint, and neither did Morrison. Morrison didn’t just back down, he went right at Drew, and Drew was keeping up quite well, making some good reversals and catching up with Morrison’s offense. Seriously, Drew had Morrison well scouted, and was putting his boots to him better than some other contenders, including Ziggler! On the outside at one point, Drew pulled Morrison’s head into the bars underneath the ring and this caused the champion to lose the match. Drew pinned Morrison, and he’ll most likely get a shot at the title.

Escobar is channeling the “Razor Ramon” character, vest and all. Vickie Guerrero came out and cut a huge promo, and Escobar appears to be a fan favorite now? This is lame. Whatever, I’m too tired to write more about this b.s.

The Hart Dynasty defeated Escobar

Escobar had to wrestle both members of the Hart Dynasty, and early on he had this thing rolled up. He was showcasing some good offense, and clean moves, but Tyson Kidd wasn’t going to just sit down as he tagged in the big man DH Smith and Escobar was not doing well with the numbers game. The Hart Attack was hit and Escobar is done. Looks like Escobar is going to be wished his future endeavors.

Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Cryme Tyme

This match was fast, and while Jericho was obviously the weak link of the tag team champions, Cryme Tyme was getting some good offense in. However, Shad walked into a huge right hand and was knocked out. Big Show and Jericho win with somewhat ease.

The Undertaker was coming down to the ring, but Batista interrupted him with a chair and just attacked with no mercy. He was trying to soften up taker for their match at TLC.

And that was the end of the show. Smackdown was ok at best.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/6/09 Results

Dolph Ziggler & The Hart Dynasty defeated John Morrison & Cryme Tyme
Beth Phoenix defeated Brittany Carter
Drew McIntyre defeated Jimmy Wang Yang
Rey Mysterio defeated Mike Knox
R Truth defeated Cm Punk
Matt Hardy defeated Batista via disqualification

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/6/09 Review

The Undertaker started the show with a “dead man” speech. I’m sick of the Undertaker already. I liked it better when he didn’t say a whole lot. The Undertaker states the obvious and he just isn’t as scary.

Chris Jericho came out to talk smack at the Undertaker and cut that random “I’m not scared” promo.

Dolph Ziggler & The Hart Dynasty defeated John Morrison & Cryme Tyme

This match was actually not half bad. Seriously, this match had a lot of things going for it. It mainly had the fast paced feel that a six man tag should have, and it had a lot of quick tags, fast moves, and good overall timing. Ziggler and Morrison aren’t the only ones that can really go in the ring. The Hart Dynasty and Cryme Tyme added a good amount of “flavor” to the match, giving an overall good time. The finish came when Ziggler tagged in blindly and got the pinfall victory. Ziggler is one upping John Morrison, maybe he’s next in line for an intercontinental title reign, and in my view, a little over due.

Rey Mysterio gave some weak interview, it bored me.

Beth Phoenix defeated Brittany Carter

Beth Phoenix squashed another no name woman jobber. I’m not sure why the WWE feels they need to reestablish Beth Phoenix as an unstoppable monster in the women’s division. It just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. She beat the jobber, and that was that. Maybe Brittany Carter will go to tna now.

Drew McIntyre defeated Jimmy Wang Yang

What the heck? Jimmy Wang Yang is still employed too? First Jamie Noble and now Jimmy Wang Yang? What the heck! Jimmy Wang Yang got very little offense in, and it was all over. Drew wins again and Jimmy Wang Yang is on his way out, he just has to be.

Rey Mysterio defeated Mike Knox

Mike Knox beat up Rey Mysterio for most of this match. Seriously, he really pushed the limits on what kind of a beating he could get. It’s an interesting thing overall, because Mike Knox looked like he was winning this thing clean, with the heaviest handed offense I’ve seen in a long time…then it all collapsed. It collapsed and I was frustrated. It’s one thing to have John Cena be superman, but Rey Mysterio is still this super little man? So lame. So lame. This bored me, sorry, I’ve seen way too much Rey Mysterio for one life time.

R Truth defeated Cm Punk

This match really reminded me how slow Cm Punk’s offense has gotten. He has some explosive flurries, but he’s really put on this slow motion, methodical offensive style instead of his fast paced indie style that he used to have while champion and while on ecw. Truth was getting worked for a good part of this match, and Punk really did try to wear him down, but Truth kept pushing and eventually got most of his fast paced moves. Punk started yelling at the referee again, and Truth rolled up Punk for the fast count and the win.

Matt Hardy defeated Batista via disqualification

You know that WWE is odd when the main event features a fat Matt Hardy. Come on, he’s not in his prime right now, and I’m not sure why I can’t get behind a super “tights” wearing Matt Hardy. It was one thing to see him annihilate Edge for screwing Lita…even if it was a work, but this is ridiculous. He’s just not someone I can et behind, even if he’s fighting a very mad Batista. That all being said, Matt Hardy did put up a fight and didn’t just let Batista get the fast win. Hardy put up a lot of defense, and went through some hard hits. Hardy’s short leg drop to Batista’s knee was the highlight for me, he should’ve started the match with that, ala Bret Hart. Hardy’s weight definitely showed when he went or the failed Moonsault…but he managed to hit the Twist of Fate! I liked this match, it was really getting good towards the end, or maybe I was just waking up.

Batista snapped nd got himself disqualified by beating Hardy to within an inch of his life. Oh well.

Smackdown was ok, I’m not really too keen on anything going on right now on either major wwe show. I just don’t care right now. I’m going through the motions, it’s true, it just seems too old to me. I’ll get back into a groove, I’m sure.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Mike Knox and Finlay in a triple threat match
Cryme Tyme defeated The Hart Dynasty
Eric Escobar defeated Matt Hardy
Drew McIntyre defeated R Truth via countout
Rey Mysterio defeated Batista

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/16/09 Review

Wow, I guess I missed the whole new Smackdown music and intro change. It’s not that great, but who cares? It’s just the intro music after all.

Chris Jericho was made team captain of the Smackdown crew for Bragging Rights. Chris Jericho was ranting and raving about how he’s better than DX and out came The Big Red Machine Kane. He claimed that Jericho was not the real captain, and scared Jericho. Jericho and Kane are now co-captains of sorts. Whatever…I’m not getting Bragging Rights.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Mike Knox and Finlay in a triple threat match

Finlay and Mike Knox opened up the show. I thought Mike Knox got axed a while ago? He’s not that good, but oh well. Oh right, Dolph Ziggler was also in this match as it was a triple threat match. Oh and guess what else? This match already happened a few months ago, so it wasn’t a surprise to me how this match was going. Finlay started the match fighting off Knox to the outside, then focusing on Ziggler with his Celtic offense and fast aggressive hits. Ziggler got control of the match, at least momentarily before Knox got into the fray, but Finlay wasn’t about to let go of any control in this match up, and was back in it. This match was going back and forth for sure, and it was interesting to note that all three men were never fighting one another at the same time, it was always isolated to one on one with the third breaking up the close falls. Knox hit an Electric Chair on Finlay and Ziggler hit an awkward big splash off the top, which was a nice sequence at the mid point of this match up. He couldn’t capitalize as Mike Knox broke up another near fall. The three men would exchange near falls throughout the ongoing points of the match up. Finlay hit Rolling Thunder on both Ziggler and Mike Knox which was the most impressive part of this match up. Finlay brought in his weapon as usual, knocked out Mike Knox but was broken up by Ziggler, and Ziggler got the pinfall! Once again stealing the match as he did a while back in the same exact pairing of guys. Ziggler is now a part of that Smackdown team for Bragging Rights.

Cryme Tyme defeated The Hart Dynasty

Oh man, once again we get this match? I guess this is another way to force viewers to see the same thing, especially since the stipulation is that the winners will get into the Bragging Rights Smackdown team led by Jericho and Kane. I was impressed initially by The Hart Dynasty, but at this point they are just jobbers to me. I don’t see them as a viable tag team at all, and maybe that’s just me, but come on, they haven’t been that good, at least not to get the Hart name. DH Smith had full control of the Big Shad early on, controlling him with rest holds, submissions and offense. JTG got a hot tag and started to clean house. He was hitting fast dropkicks, quick reversals and was actually flying and getting the crowd into this. It looked like he was on his way to winning this thing, but Tyson Kidd was tagged in and barely got away. JTG impressed me with a new finisher, and the win with a pinfall on Tyson Kidd! Like I said, The Hart Dynasty are just jobbers right now.

Vickie Guerrero is back with a new wrestler…I don’t know what’s going on here…this is odd…but here is the new wrestler Eric Escobar.

Eric Escobar defeated Matt Hardy

Matt Hardy is still a little chunky, I’m not sure if you guys out there notice that too. He hasn’t been in shape since returning. Escobar is a new guy, I haven’t seen much out of him, and he was a little green. Hardy was definitely the aggressor, forcing Escobar to learn quickly in ring to survive, and it wasn’t looking good for Escobar’s first major match in WWE. He did have a good flurry of offense, but nothing major. I mean, if clotheslines and hard rights and lefts are major, then maybe I’m reviewing a different show. However, right when I threw in the towel for Escobar, Vickie Guerrero interfered and helped Escobar win the match up! That’s right, he has pinned Matt Hardy and is now a part of the Smackdown team for Bragging rights.

The Miz and John Morrison did a special edition of the dirt sheet that ended with them nearly fighting each other. Insults were thrown, let’s just say that. It was a waste of time really, but those two are clever on the mic, I must admit that.

Drew McIntyre defeated R Truth via countout

Finally, these two are fighting, at least for me to finally get a chance at seeing. These two have been building a good feud, how? By doing things old school. Drew has been assaulting R Truth backstage and in matches and that’s great. I wish things were more like that more often, just random fights backstage. Truth had this match going his way early on, hitting major offense with great power. Once again, Drew continues to impress this time by forcing R Truth to miss the ten count, and lose this match. Drew would attack on the outside and inside, and just looked like a good new comer to the world of Smackdown. He also won a spot on the Smackdown team for Bragging Rights.

Rey Mysterio defeated Batista

Batista and Rey Mysterio had a match here, and it was obvious that Batista did not want to wrestle this match up. Mysterio on the other hand wanted to have a serious match up, and was coming back to any offense that Batista was throwing at him. This match was essentially a stalemate at least in the early goings. As the match went forward, Mysterio isolated Batista’s leg and tried to make this match swing his way. Batiasta was nearly put in the 619 but ducked out of the way, Mysterio just kept moving forward; Batista of course started to ramp up as well. The two friends were playing up that relationship in this match up and nothing crazy was happening, the two just continued to move forward. Batista looked seriously considerate during this match, wanting not to hurt his friend here and pushing forward with power moves, trying to put Rey Mysterio away without killing him overall. This made for a slow match up, with Batista slowing the pace down so that Mysterio couldn’t go all out, and he didn’t have to look like a jerk. This was made ever more evident when he latched onto several rest holds on Mysterio. Mysterio fought it out though and he kept going for faster moves and moments, to no avail. Mysteiro hit the 619 and then went for the Hurricanrana, but was caught by Batista, and while Batista was going for the Batista bomb, Mysterio countered and hit the Hurricanrana after all and scored the pinfall on the big man! Batista argued with the ref claiming that the shoulder was up, and it was to no avail either, Batista just accepted the defeat.

Post match, CM Punk hit Mysterio with the GTS and then ran off!

Not half bad, I didn’t hate this show that’s for sure.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 9/18/09 Results and Review The Punk Era

***NOTE***

Oh yeah, here is another note. The main note is this: I am moving. With my move comes NO cable for a few months. That’s right, I’m moving and I had to shut off the cable for now. I don’t have a lot of money and NO ONE is buying anything so I had to cut my cable. It sucks.

That’s why there wasn’t any updates this week. Next week I’ll try hulu or something or if you know what I should do, let me know.

Otherwise I’ll have just the results and some subtle commentaries, so that’s about it. I’m sorry folks, but I can’t afford cable. Maybe in my new place I can.

Oh and I am not sure if you guys remember but I lose my job too. So I have no job, unemployment has yet to come in and I’m moving out of the state. Yeah, so if I’m slow, please stick around and bare with me, I’m trying really hard to keep this going in these troublesome times for me personally.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 9/18/09 Review

Batista opened up the show, it’s been a while since we’ve seen this guy, that’s for sure. I heard he was on Raw, but I didn’t see raw…as I mentioned above. Batista wasn’t really finished with his little speech before Chris Jericho came out to interrupt him. Jericho just mouthed off as he usually does and he dropped Jericho with a spine buster and walked away. Apparently there is a match scheduled for later tonight.

John Morrison defeated Mike Knox

Overall this match was starting out ok. Mike Knox was definitely a lot slower than John Morrison and it proved to be something that the camera and editing couldn’t hide. As Knox was thrown over the top rope at half speed, I started to yawn. Knox is a terrible big man, and I’m not sure why they keep doing this to us, but whatever, Knox was getting pummeled with ease by Morrison at the break. Of course when we came back from the break Knox was all over Morrison, and we get to see a head lock. Things turned around and Morrison just kept getting better, proving that life is better than ever when Starship Pain was hit! Overall Knox sucked out there and seeing Morrison win wasn’t half bad, that’s for sure.

Melina defeated Michelle McCool

Michelle McCool looked obviously injured. She was half speed most of the time and Melina was lightly going for contact in a lot of different ways. This match was just boring to me, these two can’t wrestle that well. I got bored, you were most likely bored too.

After Teddy Long’s speech, things got terrible…he got into a limo and The Undertaker locked him, rolling down the window and saying…”buckle up Teddy” and moved on.

WHAT THE HELL?

This is the SAME THING THAT HAPPENED EARLIER IN WWF HISTORY! Remember, “BUCKLE UP STEPHANIE!” son of a….wwe really just punched us fans in the nuts, face it.

Punk’s speech was rad…”If you’re not Straightedge Like ME, I’m Better Than You” YES! That’s what a heel needs to be.

The Hart Dynasty defeated Cryme Tyme

This match bored me. I haven’t been a fan of the Hart dynasty lately, I’m just not too keen on them. They have talent but without a solid feud, they are just boring to me. Cryme Tyme is ok, but I don’t know…I just had a hard time getting into this match up. This match didn’t get the Canadians going as they fell dead to this suck fest…and yes this match sucked so bad, don’t try to hide it. This match got over well towards the end, Tyson Kidd hit the something or other and that was that. This match bored me.

The Great Khali defeated Kane via dq

Kane hit Khali with a chair, and then beat up the big man more. That’s about it, nothing to see here…I got bored again. Man, Smackdown is going down the toilet so far tonight.

The new R Truth feud is PERFECT! That’s how all feuds should be, just cheap shots after cheap shots.

R Truth vs Charlie Haas No Contest

Charlie Haas is still employed? What in the world? What’s going on here? Truth never came out, his rival came out…way to pull the bait and switch.

Batista defeated Chris Jericho

If you like rest holds, you thought this match was five stars. This match sucked, I don’t know what it was, but the two just didn’t put on a great match here. Jericho tried to make it look good, but man, Batista has some major timing issues, He has ring rust, it’s obvious in this match up. This thing got a little exciting towards the end, but the damage was already done to the senses...this thing was a disaster.Batista won after a batista bomb, as he caught the codebreaker mid air and it was done. I liked how it ended, but man...not that great to me.

smackdown took a fall.

Oh and here is that video...so i didn't get the quote right, but come on...

Maria & Eve defeated Natalya & Layla
CM Punk vs Matt Hardy No Contest

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 9/4/09 Review

**NOTE*** I know it sucks to read about me, an idiot asking for money, but I could use a few dollars, so if you have spare change, please click here to buy stuff from amazon and help me in this time of need. I was let go from my job yesterday and am struggling.

Thank you. ****

Alright, now down to business, Smackdown had a lot of buzz, and my friend actually told me a result early, but I will pretend I didn’t hear it, so here we go, Smackdown after Summerslam, I think…I maybe wrong, I might be right, I don’t know. My mother in law will be in town again next week, but I’ll have reviews because I have no job now…awesome.

The night started with a Jeff Hardy package, talking about saving the memories. The dude is not my favorite, but he is one heck of a worker, and proves that a little guy could do a lot. I like Punk though, I like him a lot as a heel.

Cm Punk came out to Jeff Hardy’s music and dressed like Jeff Hardy, and basically got booed out of the building! That’s great, Smackdown is the #1 WWE show in my book right now, just with that opening. Punk spoke volumes about all sorts of things, and after a few paragraphs, out came Matt Hardy and immediately was beating up Punk, and guess what? He was over! The crowd was going nuts for Hardy which is nice to see, especially after his last run had him failing to get any reaction.

The Great Khali & Finlay defeated Kane & Mike Knox

This match was slow and not very good for the most part. I was bored with it, and while Knox and Finlay are the fasted guys in this match, this was just slow moving. Kane looks injured, his run to get thrown over the top rope looked like an old man trying to walk without his cane. Finlay hit Knox in the head with a weapon and it was all said and done. Yep…this match was so slow, and Khali barely got a shot at Kane. Finlay looked somewhat injured, but overall this thing was tiresome.

The divas drama backstage, is lame, and stupid. I hated it. I hate this part, WWE Smackdown isn’t the #1 show, it’s just a show.

John Morrison defeated Rey Mysterio Jr to win the Intercontinental Championship Belt

With Mysterio basically in the doghouse, and my friend telling me this was going to happen, I knew the outcome, but the match? Dang. The match had a lot of stiff moments, with Mysterio trying to get the better of Morrison and Morrison looking a bit stunned at times by the faster offense by his smaller opponent. At one point it looked like Mysterio injured himself or his back on a twist to the outside, things looked tough from that point forward for Mysterio and Morrison met him with enough intensity to earn himself respect, if nothing more. Morrison took some sick bumps to put over Mysterio as a worthwhile champion, and Morrison just looked down and out for a good portion of this match up. Morrison slowed this thing down with several rest holds, and really tried to get this thing slowed down, because if it were up to Rey he’d be high spotting himself to another win. Mysterio hit the 619 and I thought this one was won, but nope, Morrison hit a spinning kick to the face and this thing was on rails. I couldn’t believe this is a free match on television. Starship Pain was hit and BOOM we got a new Intercontinental Champion! This was a ppv caliber match up.

R Truth was coming down to ringside, and as he went into the ring he got beat up again by Drew McIntyre. Yep, a new guy, and he’s Scottish.

Maria & Eve defeated Natalya & Layla

Awesome, three out of four of these women can’t wrestle at all. I guess this is all they could come up with for the follow up to the Intercontinental Title match. This was one of the worst women matches I’ve ever seen. This match sucked. However, the women did pick it up towards the end, although, it’s just a crap division, I’m sorry, WWE has never done good with the women.

CM Punk vs Matt Hardy No Contest

Matt Hardy looks fat to me. I’m sorry, he just looks fat, and he’s not that great right now. He’s actually slow, and Punk was the one that seemed to be perfectly in shape and ready to go full speed. That being said, this match was half speed for the most part, with a lot of rest holds to slow the pace of the match. There were a few moments where I thought this thing was going to seriously make some moves, but it just didn’t happen. Towards the end of the match it appeared that Punk wasn’t going to be able to put away Hardy, but with a few mistakes on the behalf of Matt Hardy, Punk slowly got this thing to go in his direction. Punk got a steal chair out and started to go to work against Hardy, and for some reason wasn’t disqualified, even though hitting someone outside of the ring with a chair is technically not a legal move in the match. Furthermore, the count was not even going too far, when The Undertaker appeared out of nowhere! He then Chokeslammed the crap out of CM Punk through the announce table! This match was as good as done. No winner I guess…Matt hardy got tore up for no reason it seems.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 8/7/09 Review

CM Punk was out to ring side and giving a heel promo, guised as a face promo? He was talking about how the fans need him, and that he is better than Hardy because he doesn’t drink, smoke, or do drugs.

CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy no contest

This match never got off the ground, the two were fighting so hard that it prompted security to come out and separate them. This was so out of control that it prompted Vince McMahon to come out and talk about how Teddy Long is on probation, and introduced a new guest enforcer for the title match between Hardy and Punk.

The guest enforcer is, to be announced.

Hardy then lunged at Punk, and Punk escaped to ringside. This match for all intents and purposes was a no contest, for now.

John Morrison defeated Tyson Kidd

I admit, Morrison is good, but I’m not a fan. Kidd is ok, but I’m not a fan either. Maybe the two could wake me up from my pizza coma, as I had pizza for dinner. Early on the match was somewhat slow, to start, however once the battle went to the floor Kidd got the leg up, and was overpowering Morrison with the numbers game. Morisson, after the break, was all over Kidd with heavy weight moves. Including a signature Standing Moonsault, creating a near fall that jolted him. Kidd was trying to keep up, but was actually out wrestled by a heavier, more agile Morrison. Morrison did get into a cross submission maneuver, and looked decent, but it just seemed a little sloppy in comparison to Morrison. Morrison hit Starship Pain on Kidd’s FACE! No doubt hurting the lad, and this match was over. Kidd got hit hard, I’m surprised that Kidd wasn’t legit knocked out, as Morrison looked a little bit callous and reckless with that final move for the win.

Slam Master J defeated Charlie Haas

Jam Master J picked up his first win on Smackdown as a solo wrestler. Haas did ok, but this was another job well done for good ol’ Charlie Haas who just basically laid down for Master J to win. This was another one of Charlie Haas’s losses, face it, he’s on his way out.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay, R Truth, and Mike Knox

This match featured four IC title contenders, in a free for all type match. Each one was hitting hard and no one was getting the clear advantage early on. Mike Knox looked like he was going to win this one, but after a few near falls, it was a cluster of humanity in the ring. Each member getting shots on the other, eventually it was Dolph Ziggler getting over with a pinfall. Ziggler wasn’t a major factor in this match, and in fact the only one that seemed to get a big reaction was R Truth, but it was to no avail, Ziggler will once again try to steal the show with Rey for the Intercontinental title at summerslam.

JTG defeated Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho can make anyone look good and he proved it in this match. JTG is not a top worker, yet he strung together an alright match with none other than Jericho, who is simply on top of his game right now. The two exchanged some quick pinfalls, and near misses, with Jericho putting over JTG in the end. JTG hit a nice top rope leg drop, and when Jericho thought he had won this one after a codebreaker, JTG managed to roll up Jericho while he was arguing with the ref, getting the quick pinfall! JTG defeated Jericho, and this match wasn’t half bad.

The Great Khali defeated Ricky Ortiz

Ricky Ortiz might be on his way out too, because he just lost in like 5 minutes. Khali hit the plunge and then pinned Ortiz with ease. A total squash; maybe Ortiz is next to get thrown out aka fired.

Jeff hardy defeated CM Punk w/ special guest enforcer Matt hardy

Matt Hardy is back and he has his cast off. He looks to have gained a little weight too, and he’s going to be the enforcer!

Jeff Hardy started this match like the champ, fast and easily putting Punk at bay, holding onto the overall aptitude of the match up. Punk turned things around after the commercial break and looked like he was going to get the upper hand in this match up, but wasn’t able to counter some of Hardy’s offense, which sometimes came out of nowhere with no way to telegraph things. Punk hit a picture perfect top rope superplex and was ready to hit the GTS, looking like the title was in his reach, but instead decided to punish hardy a little before hand, allowing Hardy to reverse it, only to get into a nearfall yet again. Punk jumped to the outside where Matt and Jeff had to face each other, but nothing happened…until Punk baseball slid Matt to the floor! Hardy capitalized on the distraction and hit the Twist of Fate then went for the Swanton Bomb, but Punk got his knees up! Matt pulled the referee while Punk was at a 2 count! Hardy then hit a nice roll up, and Matt counted really fast, allowing Hardy to win the match, and punk was left mad at Matt! Punk then chased Matt…this thing has some interesting turning points, it’ll be interesting to see where this all goes in the near future.

Smackdown wasn’t all that great. However, after last night’s terrible night of wrestling, this was much appreciated.

Post match, Punk once again pummeled Jeff Hardy, hitting him with a chair and making short work of Hardy, too bad it was after the match was over!

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/24/09 Review

Jeff Hardy got on the mic and said some crap, I wasn’t paying attention, until Chris Jericho’s music hit and he came down. The two squared off in the opening bout.

Jeff Hardy defeated Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho started the match at full speed, but it was Jeff that kept turning things around, not letting Jericho have his way in this match at all and looking like a true champion. Jericho might have taken some hits, but he quickly turned this thing around, being the smarter technician in the ring. The two exchanged close calls, Hardy getting the most crowd involvement, but Jericho wasn’t letting him upstage him. Jericho had counters for a lot of great moments in this match, proving that Jericho should be the Champion that no one can top for a long time. He’s not having to cheat here, he simply has outsmarted Hardy at many moments. Hardy of course wasn’t giving up, so Jericho showed frustration, but given more time Jericho winning would not be too outlandish at all. Of course Jericho’s wit and quickness wasn’t to be the end all as Jericho pinned Jericho and gets the win. A good opening match, and good amount of wrestling for these two, great stuff here, if you missed it, check it out.

The Great Khali defeated Mike Knox

These two big men put on a match, it was passable as such, but nothing worth writing home about. Knox got some offense in with a distraction from Kane, who stood at the ramp watching, but it was Khali that put this one away with ease. Goodbye Mike Knox, and good riddance.

Dolph Ziggler now being walked out by none other than Maria, is not bad, not good either.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay via countout

Wow, I hadn’t remembered Finlay was still active in WWE until he showed up for this match with Dolph Ziggler. If this match had more time I think it would have been a lot better. Ziggler was not dominating, Finlay had this thing well in hand, until it spilled onto the floor where Ziggler was cunning and managed to injure Finlay long enough to get a countout win, and a negative reaction from the crowd.
CM Punk was preaching a straightedge sermon. While I admire straightedge and enjoy the music that came out of the straightedge inception, but in wrestling? As a villain? I don’t know. Punk is sincerely trying to be a villain here, but I can’t hate him for being the way he is…but must force myself to cheer Hardy…No, Must resist…Punk…Punk…Punk.

Hardy came out and Punk left. That made the fans chant Hardy all the more. I didn’t.

Eve Torres defeated Natalya

Natalya was the obvious veteran, Eve was not timing things well and was taking a lot of punishment in ring. I said all that, but somehow, somewhere by some miracle Eve landed a moonsault! Natalya’s Surfboard was epic though, too little though, as Eve hit a moonsault that nearly broke her ankles, and Natalya loses….not sure why.

R Truth defeated Charlie Haas

R Truth came out to nice fan fare, which is much appreciated, I’m sure. He would have to contend with Charlie Haas. Let’s face it, even if Haas threw up the most impressive match ever, it wouldn’t matter because R Truth is going over these days. This match had a good flow, a little back and forth, but right when Haas seemed like he had things going, he lost with Truth going over after a nice Scissor kick, to rival Booker T in his prime. What’s up?!

Rey Mysterio defeated CM Punk via disqualification

These two put on a halfway decent match, with neither one getting the upper hand more so than the other. The equalizer from Punk was throwing Rey Mysterio into a ring post, and of course the WWE cut to commercial. This match had some real flow to it, but the commercial really took me out of the action. Punk hit a sweet tilt o world back breaker that was picture perfect, well placed onto Mysterio’s back. The champ really had Mysterio floored after that, and was working over Mysterio’s arm, a move that many people have focused on in the past. (I recall Dean Malenko’s top priority was Mysterio’s arm in his matches against Rey Mysterio for the Cruiserweight Belt in WCW) Dolph Ziggler showed up to watch the match at ringside, which I knew would play out later on in this match up. Mysterio hit a nice spring board press, but Ziggler decided to jump on the apron, and Punk capitalized with a nice heel kick, only for a two count, and this thing was ready to fall off the rails. Mysterio’s face got plastered with a knee to the face in the corner, and Punk was struggling to get this thing put away, but wasn’t able to get things done fast. Mysterio telegraphed a launch off the ropes and was in GTS position, only to counter and set up the 619! He then hit the splash and this match was over! But Ziggler ran in to break things up, and the match was thrown out…Mysterio wins!

Post match Ziggler gave Mysterio a major beating. Jeff hardy ran down to save Mysterio but that prompted CM Punk to chase down Hardy and hit a GTS to put a final exclamation point on the night!

This night of wrestling wasn’t half bad. I liked it. It had a few moments where I was starting to give up, like the Khali match. However, the opening and closing of the show was worth it. Jericho, Punk, Hardy and Mysterio are doing their thing and I don’t mind it that much. You might disagree though.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 5/29/09 Review

The show starts right away with Rey Mysterio coming down, so this was interesting. Especially when Chris Jericho came out to the ring, and then there was Mickey Rourke at ring side! Jericho is amazing on the mic, hands down the best mic work in WWE right now. No one can even come close, too bad he doesn’t win matches. The segment turned into a small brawl with Jericho running away like a true coward, and Mysterio looking strong heading into Extreme rules. Not bad, but not necessarily the best either. I like how they are pushing it, but something tells me that Mysterio’s mask is going to be on the line down the road and he’s going to lose it.

Khali and R Truth defeated Dolph Ziggler and Mike Knox

This match was ok at best. It just seemed like a throwaway match to get some Khali love from the fans. Ziggler was basically a coward and ran off, leaving Khali to dismantle the “monster” Mike Knox. Knox doesn’t look that good when he’s getting trampled by Khali, who also gets the win for his team.

Melina defeated Alicia Fox

This match was lame. It had a few ok moves at best, but Fox just looked green and Melina was just going through the motions. This match was terrible, and I guess it was for the title? I don’t know, it was stupid; if you liked it, you’re dumb.

Jeff Hardy cut one of the worst promos in WWE history. This was terrible, and well…made me want to go to sleep.

John Morrison defeated Umaga via disqualification

I wasn’t sure how far the WWE would go with this match up. John Morrison seemed to be in full control of this match, but if he defeated Umaga, how would it look as he goes into fight CM Punk? So I wasn’t sure if Morrison had what it took to put away Umaga. He was pleading a good case, putting all he had into Umaga’s face…until the fade away Samoan Drop turned things around. This match did have a good back and forth motion and for once we got treated to a good match on free television. Then Umaga loses cause he uses he leather strap…what a load of crap. I guess Umaga isn’t as big of a monster as before cause now he’s resorting to cowardly DQ methods out of frustration. He couldn’t put away Morrison, so great…Morrison remains face and Umaga doesn’t get pinned. Whatever…wasting my time never looked so good, I must admit that.

Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas defeated Cryme Tyme

Way to go wwe! Let’s trash the legit tag teams! Haas and Benjamin, arguably two of the latest string of jobbers in the wwe got a win over Cryme Tyme. I read online that Cryme Tyme isn’t going to last much longer since one of them isn’t improving very well. Good riddance if you ask me. The match was ok at best, but this was just a throwaway match with no major implications other than to ruin Cryme Tyme’s rep.

Eve defeated Layla

A second divas match? At this point I was so fed up that I didn’t even care any longer. This match was terrible, these two can’t wrestle, they don’t have any charisma, and it made me wish for Victoria to come back, but she has joined the dark side!

Edge & Chris Jericho defeated Jeff hardy

Mysterio got gut checked by Jericho prior to the match, therefore this was a handicap match. This once again fuels the rumors that Mysterio is not at 100% right now and he is injured. This makes a lot of sense, since word on the street is that he’s dropping the belt and maybe the mask to Jericho in the near future. Remember when Jericho forced Juventud to lose his mask? That 1998 Cruiserweight title run was stellar, and back then Jericho defeated Mysterio yet again, I’ll see if I can get the video…anyways this match had a lot of high spots. Hardy was letting it all hang out for free, he was jumping and flying but it wasn’t enough to defeat the two heels in this match up and was eventually a victim of the numbers game. I liked how this ended, however, I just felt that the show wasn’t all that good.

Smackdown used to be a spot where you could watch a ton of wrestling, but really, you’re not getting a whole lot of quality in this show. It used to be more so, now I don’t know what they are doing, trying to make it Raw lite?

I would have much rather seen more continuation of stories, with pure wrestling and respect. I guess Smackdown is trying to play it safe since Extreme Rules needs their wrestlers to be somewhat in good condition.

So here is the second part of a WCW Souled Out 98 match between Rey Mysterio Jr and Chris Jericho for the Cruiserweight Title:



Don't miss out on WWE Starrcade: The Essential Collection DVD Box Set!

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/2/09 Results and Review

The show opened with an announcement that there will be a world title match tonight on Raw. Then the show moved right to Piper’s Pit! That’s right, Piper’s Pit opened up the show with your host…Chris Jericho! He brought out Superfly Jimmy Snuka! I marked out huge for seeing Snuka out there, as he is one of my childhood favorites, and I even liked him through Wrestlemania 8 and so on and so forth. The show melted down into a reenactment of the famous Snuka/Piper’s pit event, but Snuka outsmarted Chris Jericho for the moment. He celebrated to a lot of fan fair, but Jericho smashed the set onto Snuka and got the final laugh by beating him up.

Jericho has so much heat, there can’t possibly be more heat on the guy. He is the most hated wrestler in the wwe right now, and more so for beating up Jimmy Snuka. I’m not sure where this is going, but if it means Lawler vs Jericho at Wrestlemania, I’m going to be upset. Then again, Lawler needs one shot at Wrestlemania and maybe he can bring it…if only for a second.

Kane defeated Mike Knox, and Rey Mysterio Jr. in a Money in the Bank Qualifier

This match didn’t make sense to me. I understood that Rey couldn’t win, even though he had a major comeback midway into the match, but for Kane to win is dumb to me. He’s not a high flyer at all, and I find him boring in a ladder match. He’s not Undertaker, he’s not going to bump like Taker did for Jeff Hardy a few years back. Kane in the ladder match at Wrestlemania, is dumb to me. I’m sorry. This match was noting too crazy, it was ok at best.

Kelly Kelly & Mickie James defeated Jillian & Beth Phoenix

They don’t let these matches develop long enough This match was lame, and it didn’t take long to develop at all. It ended up with a surprise victory and was overshadowed completely by Maryse delivering a DDT to the floor on the outside. What a terrible piece of crap match. Why even have the divas in wwe? This is the worst division in professional wrestling, it makes me want to give up on wrestling. Sadly, the least Gay thing about professional wrestling is the wwe divas, and yet I can’t stand the way the matches go. I know I’m not alone thinking this.

Randy Orton was out in the ring with an entourage, saying he didn’t want to wrestle at Wrestlemania against Triple H. Triple H came out and gave a long speech about how Randy Orton is scared of him and he doesn’t want to wrestle him at mania cause he’s an idiot and that he’s young. This bored me greatly, I don’t care about Triple H antagonizing Orton, we need to see Orton chasing a little, otherwise why is he the heel? Of course Orton changes his mind and makes a mandate that Triple H can’t touch him, the standards. Lame.

Shawn Michaels defeated Vladimir Kozlov

Smart wrestling by HBk in this match, the chop block on Kozlov was classic. If you can isolate the leg on Kozlov, he can’t perform his moves and you can take advantage. However, this was short lived with Kozlov putting the boots to Shawn Michaels. This was quite the power match for Kozlov, HBK was singled out completely for his former back injury, creating an interesting psychology to the match up. I gotta admit, Kozlov has the best in ring psychology since Bret Hart. Yeah, I said it. The counter to the flying elbow was key, that was an excellent reversal, and the match was methodically getting worse for HBK, proving that Kozlov has got a little more than your average monster heel. HBK really worked a good match too, creating wonder that maybe there was more to the HBK tank than we give him credit for! Then they threw it all away…the wwe took a dump on the fans and everyone watching. Within a few seconds the match was over as HBK “hulked” up and hit sweet chin music, derailing the best Kozlov match up to this point. Screw you McMahon, what a terrible finish to what could’ve been a classic.

Post match, The Undertaker came out and looked creepy, big deal. Who cares?

Cowboy Bill Watts was announced into the WWE Hall of Fame.

John Cena defeated Edge via Disqualification

This match sucked. The ending sucked and I’m personally tired of this feud. We saw this already in 2007 right? Late 06 and 07 was Edge and Cena every week! I’m sick of this crap. The dq finish too, what a load of crap, Raw sucks, this match sucked, I’m so sick of this crap.

Maybe ECW can pick it up tomorrow, we’ll see.

Oh and Big show was named #1 contender to the world title...great.

WWE Monday Night Raw 2/23/09 Results and Review The Hunt

The show opened up with Vickie Guerrero announcing that she is now the official Raw General Manager. Man, she’s getting more screen time than Eddie Guerrero (rip) ever did. I guess that’s a good thing for her family, but what about the kids? Why doesn’t anyone think of the kids? Whatever. John Cena came down the ramp to interrupt, and the crowd wasn’t completely booing here, once again Cena is getting that fan favorite status because he’s working with people that have so much heat, that even he looks great to adult and smart fans. Edge came out to yell at Cena, after Cena wanted a title match for later in the night.

Who needs the wwe draft? Screw the draft, and just have the talent work both shows. It works each time, and with the champions going back and forth, the tag teams going back and forth, and so many different talented workers going both shows, this could be a great thing. It worked for wcw in the late 90’s, wwe could do it too; assuming they don’t implode. The wwe doesn’t follow it’s own set aside rules concerning the draft, so why even continue to have talent brand separation? It makes no sense right now, and the next match once again illustrates the point.

Cm Punk defeated The Miz & John Morrison in a triple threat match

Cm Punk basically fought a handicap match against the tag team champions. While I never agree with the tag champions losing in a math together, I accepted this one for wha it was, because both The Miz and Morrison were fighting each other to get the pin. The match had great spots featuring Punk getting the upper hand with double moves. Best spot was definitely the bulldog to clothesline combination he hit on miz and Morrison, great stuff indeed. Punk defeats both guys in this triple threat match and he’ll go on to wrestlemania and wrestle in the Money in the Bank match.

Melina & Cryme Tyme defeated Santino, Dolph Ziggler, and Beth Phoenix

This match started off a little slow, and overall it was ok. Ziggler seemed interesting, like a throwback to an older state of wrestling. He could go far just on looks alone, but not with that goofy gimmick. Santino wouldn’t tag in, which made for comical exchanges between him and Ziggler. Santino finally got tagged in and was taken out by one move…sadly. Santino is funny, but he needs some wrestling skills to back his mouth up.

Shawn Michaels defeated JBL

It was announced during this match up that the winner would face Kozlov next week on Raw. Once again proving that the WWE does NOT need a draft. The match was a solid wrestling match, nothing too unexpected though. These two guys have formulaic matches, and HBK is becoming the new age Ric Flair, doing nothing new. At least when Bret Hart used to wrestle the same match, he would mix it up a little, it seems that there is nothing new with HBK. It’s still entertaining, and this match was a little longer than usual. Good stuff overall, a little shallow, but that’s that.

Mike Knox defeated Jamie Noble

Jamie Noble lost to Mike Knox in 29 seconds. What a waste of time. Noble should quit the WWE.

Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat was announced for the WWE Hall of Fame.

After the announcement was made Chris Jericho jumped out to get on the mic and verbally abuse Ricky Steamboat. He called him a loser and got even more heat from the crowd. I’m not sure where this is going, but Jericho better bet leading up to a match with someone in the hall of fame….say…Macho Man Randy Savage? It will never happen, but I’d pay good money to see it, if Macho could wrestle. I heard his back is messed up though.

John Cena defeated Chavo Guerrero

Once again, why have a draft? Whatever. John Cena made easy work out of Chavo Guerrero. It’s a sad thing to see such a talented wrestler, get such a bad shake of things. Chavo is a glorified jobber. By having Cena defeat him so quickly proves that Chavo isn’t ready to capture the U.S title on Smackdown and further proves that the WWE hates cruiserweights. Sadly, one of the worst things that happened to Chavo was the death of Eddie Guerrero, because Chavo sucks now…tremendously sucks.

Like the old west, there was a showdown in the ring at the end of Raw. Triple H came out to ringside with a sledge hammer and a back up sledge hammer and ran down Randy Orton and his cronies to the back of the arena! They kept running and Triple H gave chase until they seemingly were cornered!

This thing gt into comical places as Orton and Dibiase were chased out their Limousine. Triple H broke some glass, chased the idiots, and they fled in a car. That was the end of Raw…nothing more nothing less.

What is this wcw 2000? Come on man…what a stupid story line. Just have them fight already! Remember the Macho Man DDP feud? That is what we need.

WWE Monday Night Raw 2/17/09 Results and Review

We start off the show with Vickie Guerrero introducing Edge as the new World Heavyweight Champion, to a chorus of boos from the disappointed audience. I still can’t believe that Edge won the title at No Way Out. John Cena joined them talking about rematch, and that made me cringe a little. I do remember the two wrestling or a year straight in a variety of gimmick matches.

Shane McMahon called out Randy Orton to an unsanctioned fight before the first commercial break.

Priceless & William Regal defeated C.M Punk & Cryme Tyme

This match had an interesting dynamic between Regal and Punk. The two were fighting each other tooth and nail, and the other team mates just kind of stood by on the apron. By the time Cryme Tyme came into this match up, I knew what was going on. Another burial of Cryme Tyme as Priceless picks up the victory in this match up. It wasn’t too bad, but it was just weird to see how this went down. I wasn’t too impressed with this match at all, and felt that the wwe could’ve given us a better match. However, the Regal and Punk feud is going to boil once again with another great match up sooner than later. Maybe Regal can bring back those brass knuckles he had back a couple of years before.

Chris Jericho came out to give a speech about Mickey Rourke but was interrupted by none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper, that’s right, Roddy Piper on Raw live; but that prompted Chris Jericho to sock Piper in the face. This was a good segment, but I’m not sure where this is all going, Jericho is seriously getting heat, but who’s going to shut him up? I’m not sure what’s going on with Jericho but he has to the most hated man in wrestling right now.

Kane defeated Jamie Noble

This was hilarious. Jamie Noble actually tried to fight Kane, but he was severely mismatched and was thrown nearly through the ring with a chokeslam. This match was fast and over before Noble could do anything. Why even keep him on the roster?

Mike Knox defeated Rey Mysterio Jr.

I knew this was going to go this route. Mysterio put on a good overall show, and he did have Mike Knox cornered and looking wobbly a few times. However, Knox was just overpowering a lot of the times and I thought for sure he would defeat Mysterio in this one. However, Knox rammed his shoulder into the ring post and Mysterio took advantage with a roll up, winning this match! I thought for sure Knox had Mysterio’s number in this one, but something ended up going well for him this time.

Melina defeated Beth Phoenix

This match was terrible. Seriously, this was one of the worst matches I’ve ever seen. The divas didn’t have a good match at all. Melina eventually won with a roll up, after the rest of the divas attacked Santino at ring side. With Beth Phoenix distracted Melina rolled her up and it was over.

Randy Orton defeated Shane McMahon in an unsanctioned street fight

Randy Orton was getting taking a lot of damage in this fight. McMahon was all over him, and was doing everything he could to maul the former Champion. Orton didn’t get much in early on and even towards the middle of the match up was not in control. The end of this fight came with Priceless coming down and helping Randy Orton out, but it got worse when Randy Orton punted Shane McMahon to oblivion and he couldn’t continue any longer. Then Randy Orton hit Stephanie McMahon with the RKO! That’s right folks, after all was said and done RANDY ORTON HIT STEPHANIE MCMAHON with a picture perfect RKO! This prompted Triple H to run down and clear the ring to check in on Stephanie. Is this going to prompt a Triple H vs. Randy Orton match at Wrestlemania? I think so.

WWE Raw 12/9/08 Slammy Awards Review and Results

I didn’t think I’d make it to see this show, but after a quick shower, I’m set to review the next three hours of Raw with full intensity! I’m tired though, and I might miss a few things here and there, who knows what’s up.

We opened the show with the tag team of the year award going to: The Miz & John Morrison

CM Punk defeated John Morrison in an intercontinental championship tournament semi-final

Morrison and Punk wrestled in the latest match up for the Intercontinental Championship tournament. Punk really made things interesting within minutes throwing himself off the middle rope and nearly knocked himself out. Hurricanrana off the top rope was insane! Cm Punk nearly shattered his leg when he landed, but he delivered one hell of a move! I was marking out huge for this match! Punk hit the high knee, but Morrison hit a Russian leg sweep and turned the tide a little bit. Punk was really favoring his leg in this match up, after landing hard from the top rope. Morrison countered the GTS into a roll up, but then immediately walked into a high kick to the head, Punk went for the GTS one more time and hit Morrison with it! Morrison loses to Punk and CM Punk advances in the tournament!

Best finishing maneuver of 2008 slammy award went to: Evan Bourne’s Shooting Star Press

MVC (Charlie Haas) defeated MVP

This was hilarious to say the least. Charlie Haas looked amazing as MVC and he really made it look good, looking exactly like MVP. I thought for sure MVP would win this one, but apparently it wasn’t his night. MVC defeated MVP after MVP missed his running leg kick. This was a short non memorable match. MVP is still on that losing streak, sadly.

The slammy for most extreme moment went to: Jeff Hardy’s dive off the titantron

Chris Jericho defeated Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy and Chris Jericho squared off in this match up, which was interesting. Jericho really looked great against Hardy, even though Hardy was the main fan favorite of this match up. Jericho was ready to win this with the Walls of Jericho, but Hardy kept getting out of it. Jericho managed to hit the Code Breaker and this match was over. Jericho defeated Jeff Hardy clean!

The Slammy for couple of the year went to: Vickie Guerrero and Edge

Finlay defeated Santino

Finlay beat Santino easily. Santino didn’t stand a whole lot in this match up, Finlay looked amazing against him. Santino is still way over, even if he loses and doesn’t do a whole lot of wrestling, which is great in these modern times.

The Slammy for WWE Diva of the year went to: Beth Phoenix

The slammy for OMG moment of year went to: CM Punk for cashing in money in the bank and winning the title

Rey Mysterio defeated Kofi Kingston in an Intercontinental championship semi-final

Kofi Kingston stood out in this match against Rey Mysterio. Mysterio was doing his best to try and combat the onslaught of high flying maneuvers that Kofi is known for, but Kofi also tried to do some technical wrestling, isolating Mysterio’s arm. This match had a lot of counters, and it involved Mysterio and Kofi both missing key drop kicks and other maneuvers that they do. This was incredible, and Rey Mysterio was really moving fast in this match up and eventually beat Kofi Kingston with a back roll up out of nowhere!

The slammy for match of the year went to: Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair WM 24

I don’t believe that, that match sucked!

Cody Rhodes, Manu, & Randy Orton defeated Batista & Triple H

I thought this match was dumb. I hate handicap matches where the two good guys are facing three guys. The only good that can come of this is the heels win and gain a hold on their next match up. However, if the good guys win then the bad guys look stupid for not being able to win as a team, which should never happen. There is no way that two regular dudes should beat three guys, but alas, this is pro wrestling after all. The expected spots happened here but after the dust settled from the all out brawl, Randy Orton swooped in and defeated Batista and Triple H! Orton jumps in hits the RKO and it was all over from there.

The Slammy for the most “Damn” moment of the year went to: The Khali Kiss Cam

Dolph Ziggler defeated R. Truth via countout

What in the world? R Truth against Ziggler? Alright, whatever. Ziggler was all over Truth, which is insane! He was doing great work in there for once, and I like his boots, they remind me of The Brain Busters. Truth took a nasty spill in the ring towards the ropes, and he wasn’t’ the same for the rest of the match up, it did look bad, like it knocked the wind out of him. This match was quite impressive, honestly, I was really impressed with how this match went, including Truth’s Irish whip onto Ziggler and Ziggler selling it like Bret Hart! Truth went over the top rope and nearly knocked out Ziggler when hitting him in the face! It looked great, these two really did some work for once. Ziggler hit Truth with a kick to the face and beat the 10 count for the win.

The Slammy for Superstar of the year went to: Chris Jericho

John Cena vs. Edge (no contest)

We saw this match one million times a couple of years back. It seemed like these two wrestled every week and every ppv for at least 6 months or so. Whatever the case is, this match was halfway decent, as the two wrestlers know each other quite well in the ring and out. This match broke down into a melee when Chris Jericho tried to interfere in the match. Cena jumped out and attacked him instead, the bell rang fast, and every main eventer ran down. The last man standing in the ring, once again holding down the roster, was none other than Triple H. Hardy ran the safety railings and BOOOM hit Edge with a huge drop kick. The match, I presume was thrown out, no official winner or loser was announced.

Overall a good night of wrestling, and I personally wouldn’t mind 3 hours of raw each week, but that’s just me. Lots went down on this night, and this weekend is Armageddon! So watch out for that. I’m not 100% sure I’ll return for ECW tomorrow, but I’ll try, if not, I’ll definitely be back for TNA Impact this week! OH and please check out the links on the sidebar and if you’re shopping on amazon, click our banners, it helps me keep getting cable and ppv’s…I’m going broke trying to cover all the wrestling bases, so help out a brotha, please.

WWE Raw 11/10/08 Review and Results

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

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

William Regal defeated Santino for the Intercontinental Championship

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

Mike Knox defeated D-Lo Brown

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

Rey Mysterio defeated Kane in a no dq match

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

Batista defeated Cody Rhodes

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

Beth Phoenix defeated Mickie James

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

Chris Jericho defeated Shawn Michaels in a Last Man Standing Match

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