WWE Smackdown Live September 11, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Proves Why They SUck

Miz Gonna Get It - Source WWE dot com

We begin the show with a 10 Bell Salute, which was really cool to see. Then instead of talking, we got wrestling! Yay!

I kid, first Jeff Hardy did a lot of talking, again. Meh. That was before the start of the match with Shinksuke Nakamura.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Jeff Hardy Ended In A DQ

The match was going well for Hardy, and the normal back and forth you’d expect was going through, then out of the blue comes Randy Orton to beat up Hardy, and that was that. The match was thrown out and Orton beat up Hardy ahead of this match this weekend in a cage.

Aj Styles talked in an empty arena. Meh.

Charlotte Flair defeated Sonya Deville

You knew this was going to happen, right? I did. It was another ok match at best.

After the match, Becky Lynch showed up front he crowd and beat up Charlotte, which was kind of cool.

Samoa Joe talks. Ugh. This show has a ton of talking.

Rusev Day defeated The Bar

Well, that’s the end of the Bar isn’t it. Yep. The Bar goes down to Rusev Day and that means our title match his set for the weekend. This wasn’t much of a match, it was mid-speed, and telegraphed at many different levels. It wasn’t that bad. It was ok at best.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated R Truth

A distraction roll up ending to a very short match, ended with Cien Almas getting a win. This was stupid, if you ask me. Short match, boring. And just filler on a show that should be better, but isn’t.

Brie Bella defeated Maryse

Ugh. This is the end of Smackdown? I try to like the shows, but with so much talking, and lackluster moments, I find the the biggest issue with Smackdown is lack of wrestling, and just problematic story telling. Sure the ending featured Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, but meh, there’s so many other wrestlers on this roster, and yet we don’t get to see them at all. I guess that’s that, I don’t know what else to say about it.

WWE Smackdown Ending - Source WWE

The one thing that I hate about the WWE right now is the fact that they keep starting their shows with pure talk. I’m tired of talking, I don’t care for it, and I honestly just want to see pro wrestling on my wrestling shows. I’m probably in the minority, right? Ugh.

Daniel Bryan defeated Andrade Cien Almas

The talk led to Zelina Vega and Andrade Cien Almas show up and they laid down a challenge for the couple. Bryan would then throw down with Cien Almas, and the match saw Andrade Cien Almas controlling most of the match, and it was a fast flying, frenetic affair. With the women outside of the ring, the two men took on each other with gusto, and it was quite good to see, including Cien Almas countering a lot of offense that Bryan was throwing at him. As if this was going to be any less than another win for Daniel Bryan. I won’t say that Cien Almas is buried, but come on, another loss for him? Why even bring these guys up from NXT?

After the match, we saw Brie deliver the Brie Trigger on Zelina Vega, and that was that. Zelina Vega is hot, just smoking hot. Miz and Maryse showed up and started to yap, and that led to Bryan and Brie to leave the ring and chase them down, at a random restaurant, from what I can tell.

Up next we got more talking! It was Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair getting interviewed. Ugh. I’m so tired of nonsense. Sure they talk smack, and that’s it.

Naomi defeated Peyton Royce

I think it was Peyton Royce. This was a short match and it went back and forth until the Iconics ran in and beat up Naomi after she had won the match.

More talking, and then Joe comes to the ring, and talks. This show has so much talking I went to get lunch and came back and they were still talking. Aj Styles showed up and beat him up, then we got more talking and backstage stuff. By the time the next match started, there was not much left for the show.

Rusev Day defeated Sanity and The Usos in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match

This was a substantial match, but it wasn’t long. The guys put together a good match with some nice high flying moves, and some great back and forth before Rusev eventually got the pin for his team. Lots of quick moves, lots of apron moves, elbows, and more was all you got here. It was a fun match, it just didn’t last long. Rusev would win after a Matchka Kick on Young, and that was that.

R Truth defeated The Miz

This match was short, since the show only had about 10 minutes left by the time it started. This wasn’t a half bad match, and R Truth was able to get a distraction roll up win thanks to Brie and Daniel Bryan showing up. It wasn’t bad, mind you, and the end of the show featured Brie and Bryan taking care of business, until Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega showed up to help Miz and Maryse, and that was that. Another beat down ending.

WWE Smackdown Live August 7, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Shows It Is Still A B

Big E Punches Hard - Source WWE

Smackdown opened up with wrestling. I kid, no it didn’t, it opened with Randy Orton talking, for about 7 minutes. I didn’t care for this, and I don’t know anyone that wants more talking with their wrestling. That led to the Bar backstage talking about their match upcoming, and then showed off Becky Lynch and Charlotte backstage.

Charlotte and Becky Lynch defeated The Iconics

Well, that’s the end of the Iconics if you ask me. Lynch and Charlotte proved to be the superior team here, and if you watch closely, you can see that Becky Lynch is on another level compared to the other women, even Flair. She’s fast, and she is crisp, and throws down like she’s been wrestling forever, which is great. She’s got great timing, and looks amazing in ring, which made this match fun to watch. Charlotte would get the win with her Figure 8.

After the women’s match we got a promo from Aj Styles, and no more wrestling.

Zelina Vega defeated Lana

There was two major plot points during this lackluster women’s match. There was a story brewing between Rusev and Cien Almas as they were fighting on the outside. But then there was Aiden English, who ran in to help Rusev take out Cien Almas, but caused the defeat of Lana by Vega. This is going to split up English and Rusev, which is a stupid thing, but that’s how things progress. This wasn’t a great match, although Zelina Vega is gorgeous.

After this match, guess what? More talking! It was Byron Saxon interviewing The Miz. Sigh.

The highlight with the Miz interview was Daniel Bryan showing up on the set of Miz’s show, and beating him down, only to get hit in the head with a glass flower vase. Yeah, let’s hit the guy that has multiple concussions with a hard object, shattering it. Good job. This was a good segment, but blood would’ve made it better.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated R Truth

Truth made this match score big with me. He’s so good at his age, and he’s just stellar in ring. He put on a great deal of offense, for a short match, but Nakamura would eventually put the armbar in place, causing a great deal of slow down from the frenetic pace that Nakamura wanted. After the rope break, Nakamura started to drop some bombs.

The New Day defeated The Bar

Well, the Bar is done. A good match, don’t get me wrong. The two teams were able to put on a great match together, but that led to The New Day winning again. That’s good for them, as they will have another shot at the tag belts, when they face off against the Bludgeon Brothers. However, the New Day will end up losing out if you ask me. The Bar is done, now, aren’t they?

That was Smackdown. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. There was a lot more talking than I would like, but hey, that’s what happens a lot of the time.

WWE Smackdown July 24, 2018 Results and Review

The Miz Surprises Daniel Bryan - Source WWE

The B show simply feels like a B show to me. This night proves it yet again.

WWE Smackdown July 25, 2018 Results and Review

Randy Orton showed up. I didn't care. He talked about how the people don't respect him, and he questioned everyone, he was just going through the same Hideo Itami type of thing. He stopped short of saying, "respect me". It was stupid. I don't care about this guy.

We then got a recap of what happened on Raw, which featured Stephanie McMahon saying she invented women's wrestling, etc. On a wrestling show, the first 20 some odd moments were NOT wrestling. How cool is that? It's not.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Rusev

The tables turned on Rusev when Aiden English ran in to the match to try and stop Zelina and Lana fighting, but it caused issues. Rusev got distracted, then lost big time. Rusev and Almas put on a good match, although it was somewhat short, but Almas would get the big win, and that's that. A distraction on the outside was the big deal here. Aiden English and Rusev are headed to splitsville, I'm sure.

Samoa Joe defeated R Truth

Yeah, I typed that. It happened. I will say this much, R Truth is the most athletic guy ever! He's awesome, and was able to catch off Samoa Joe until of course things took a turn, and Truth was put to sleep after a couple of moves. Oh well, short match, but Truth is awesome.

Asuka defeated Billie Kay

I was reviewing a porno movie the other day and Billie Kay looked a lot like a porno actress. Anyways, Asuka won this match after an initial flurry from the iconic member. It was ok at best. Asuka wins, and well, that's it. A throw away women's match.

Aj Styles Opponent Announcement

Paige was going to announce the next opponent, but before she couuld, James Ellsworth came out and wanted a title shot, since he has beaten Aj Styles 3 times! James Ellsworth was fired! Yeah, this was entertaining, but it wasn't the opponent we thought about. Samoa Joe will be the next gu, and he beat up Styles. He won't win, but he signed his name.

Becky Lynch defeated Carmella

This was another women's match that wasn't too long, and it ended with the ending you would expect. Becky Lynch would win with her submission, and well, that was that. The end. Not a great match, not a terrible one either, and well, it ended well enough.

The New Day defeated Sanity

Wow, so Sanity is now buried. The New Day rolled through Sanity with seemingly no difficulty. The Usos were on commentary of course, and well that was ok. The Usos jumped the ringside and out came The Bar! I thought the Bar was on Raw? I guess not? Either way, The new Day defeated Sanity, and to me, it's a burial.

Out came The Bar with mics and started to talk random things, and well that was that. I didn't care.

The Miz Premier

Ugh. Just ugh. Daniel Bryan ran out and beat up security and went to the ring. Bryan came into the ring, and Miz threw a baby doll at Bryan then kicked him and hit the Skull Crushing Finale, and that was that. I guess this is the start of the feud. Ok, good, I'm sick of this. Miz is good, but this was the B show. This is the best that WWE has? That's the best wrestling? I can't believe this bs.

WWE Smackdown 5/26/2016 Results and Review The End of Mixed Branding

I am delayed in reviewing, as I’m doing some routine marketing things to try and boost traffic for the site, and well I didn’t catch Smackdown until now. The opening alone made me not want to watch, Michael Cole interviewed Dean Ambrose about Money in The Bank ppv. I’m already bored.

WWE Smackdown 5/26/2016 Results and Review

Dean Ambrose mouthed off about how he is the most extreme, etc. This is the lunatic? No thanks. Somewhere, Brian Pillman is wishing he had another chance to come back to wrestling. Kevin Owens showed up to talk randomly about crap, then Sami Zayn comes out and talks about Wrestlemania and what not. 20 minutes of B.S. if you ask me.

Alberto Del Rio defeated Zack Ryder

Well, this was the end for Ryder. Alberto Del Rio picked up the win, even though Ryder in no way was completely buried outright. Ryder put some offense in, but it wasn’t meant to be, as Ryder got beat yet again. No one was surprised by this, no one.

Enzo and Cass challenged The Dudleys, but it won’t happen until Raw. Boring waste of time if you ask me.

Rusev defeated Kalisto

The end of the line for Kalisto, this was his rematch for the United States championship, and well, it was all over before it could get going. Ok match, but nothing grand, that’s all. Competitive match, none the less, Kalisto got beat.

After the match Titus O’neil showed up and challenged Rusev, which was fine, but eh, nothing special. I guess he’s next.

Natalya versus Dana Brooks

This match didn’t go very long. Charlotte interfered and caused a no-finish. Charlotte beats up Natalya, and that’s that? I guess that’s the end of the feud? I don’t know, don’t care, this diva’s revolution is nothing short of boring, sorry.

There are so many flashbacks to Raw that this show just drags on. I don’t like it.

Aj Styles interviewed, and well, he looked defeated, this is the end of the burial of Aj Styles if you ask me.

Tyler Breeze and Fandango defeated R Truth and Goldust (Golden Truth)

Minor match, nothing big. Boring if you ask me. Smackdown is not a great show, just saying.

Seth Rollins showed up, cut a limited promo and then left. Nothing big here. 

The Miz defeated Cesaro 

A great overall main event for Smackdown, as these two work well together. Cesaro's shoulder was worked on, and in the end, The Miz took him out thanks to a turnbuckle that was removed by Maryse. Overall, this was the best match of the night, and possibly of the week! Great fun, great match, nice to see this type of wrestling for the intercontinental championship. Soak it in, you won't see this in the brand split, I can't believe they are doing that. 

Overall Rating: 5 out of 10

Good matches, nope, good entertainment? Not really. This was a lousy show with a good main event, that's it. 

WWE Monday Night Raw 11/2/2015 Results and Review

WWE New Day - SRC WWE.COM

The opening of the show from Denver, Colorado featured Roman Reigns on the MIC. He sucks on the MIC, don’t give him a MIC! Then Rollins came out and the two jarred, before the authority established the main event. Oh well, boredom. Remember, this review is only highlights of what I liked or remember, not an in depth discussion, since some of the stuff is too boring to talk about.

WWE Monday Night Raw 11/2/2015 Review

Kevin Owens defeated Dolph Ziggler

The match was good, Owens does very well when he wrestles someone that can bump. Dolph is always a great wrestler, and I’ve said that since 2009. Owens gets a win thanks to Tyler Breeze’s distraction, which should pan out to a Ziggler match and possibly a shot at the Intercontinental Title eventually. Gotta love the fall away slam into the barricade, that’s a nice twist. Tyler Breeze and Dolph fought a bit after, setting up what will no doubt be the next feud that the two will have. Owens is left with finding new opponents for that IC title.

Cesaro defeated The Miz

The Miz is still employed? Good For him. Cesaro won an ok match, nothing to write about here. Miz loses, and that’s it.

Bray Wyatt sucks. Great promo for a guy that loses EVERY match that matters. I don’t get it. Oh well.

Paige defeated Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Brie Bella in a fatal 4 way

By far one of the best women’s wrestling match I’ve seen on Raw. I thought it was grand. There were a lot of great moments here. Paige is ok, but I didn’t want her to win, obviously. Paige did manage to eek out a win here, and will go on to fight Charlotte at the next ppv. I can’t say enough about how great this match was. It was lengthy, there were a lot of good points, even though the start seemed to be at half-speed. Once it got started, though, things picked up and the women really put on a show. Brie took a serious knee to the face, Banks and Lynch really took some bumps, and well, Paige wins, and that’s that.

The Usos, Dean Ambrose, Ryback and Roman Reigns defeated Seth Rollins, The New Day, and Kevin Owens in a traditional Survivor’s Series Match

Not a terrible main event at all. However, I’m tired of seeing Rollins looking so much like a coward. When will we have a “strong” champion booked? I still don’t like Reigns. Where’s Lesnar, anyways? Shouldn’t he be in the title picture? Logic gets thrown out the window. As far as the match, it was a good one.

Raw is too long. I’ll say that much. Even recorded on my DVR, I had to dedicate quite a lot to watch this thing. It’s just too much, and just not as grand. That’s the end of my review of sorts, I’ll see if I can watch Smackdown as I try to resurrect this site from the undead.

WWE Monday Night Raw 7/13/2015 - The Lesnar Rollins Countdown To Battleground, Or Something

SRC WWE.com

Raw came to some city, I don’t know. I didn’t pay nearly as much attention as I probably should. It’s funny, I finally get cable television and Raw is so drawn out and boring. 3 hours plus of wrestling? I would have peed my pants in 1999, and loved 3 hour Nitro with lots of wrestling. 3 hours of WWE, however, is a tiring affair and it’s absolutely boring. I was bored out of my mind most of this show, and it happens too often.

Shop For WWE MERCH BLU RAY AND MORE HERE! No Really!

Once again South Park was on the nose when it comes to wrestling. These openings with 30 – 40 minutes of talking is too much. I don’t care about this feud, now. I just want Lesnar to kill Rollins and get this over with. There’s no way Rollins can stand the beating he’s about to get, fake or not, Lesnar can throw around Rollins like a rag doll. We’ll see what happens, but this whole thing wasn’t worthwhile.

No MORE BIG SHOW!

Seriously, how many times do I have to see his fat face on television? I love how JTG painted him in his book, like a big idiot. He’s slow, he sucks, and having to see him on Raw is stupid. This match sucked, and while Ryback may be the champion, it’s wasted on him. Sheamus and Orton in yet another match? Are you seeing a pattern folks? This is stupid.

Who cares about the Divas?

I still don’t care about the Divas division. Introducing NXT people is fine, but how long before they get buried in the WWE’s version of what they believe is good women’s wrestling? I wasn’t excited by this. I made a can of soup.

The Prime Time Players are the worst tag team. I said it. I don’t want to see them on Raw.

R-Truth is still employed? Barrett is still employed?

Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens Vs. Rusev in a Triangle Match!

Now this is wrestling. This is a throwback to when WCW used to have these matches. Remember when Sting, Vader and the Guardian Angel were in a match like this. Oh, it’s different? Well what about ECW then? Yeah! FTW! Anyways, this match was good, and I liked the story that played out here. Rusev being back was a nice touch, and the shoes were a good thing too. However, the immediate loss to Super Man John Cena didn’t sit well with me at all, but then again who cares, right? Good overall wrestling, great moments, and a nice way to move the competition around.

Stardust buried Neville

It was nice knowing you Neville.

Lesnar and Rollins and Kane and blah, blah, blah, terrible night of wrestling.

Oh, one last thing. I still don't care about Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt. That feud is terrible. At least Dean Ambrose got an easy night out.

King of The Ring 2015 Winner

The WWE Network was host for the 2015 King of The Ring, but you already knew that. The show showcased 4 contenders vying for the prize. I was impressed with some of the moments, especially how the new guys were showcased. Here are my thoughts on this event of historic proportions.

Neville defeated Sheamus

I’m not a big Sheamus fan. I still call his move the “BRO” kick. I don’t care. Neville’s stature definitely proves that Sheamus is not a little guy. I thought the match was good, a bit short for my tastes, but it worked for the most part. Neville was able to overcome here, and I’m absolutely impressed with this athleticism. He is so fluid, it’s seems so simple how he moves with so much weight on him. He may very well be the best pure athlete to come around in a long time. Neville’s win came as Sheamus got distracted by Dolph Ziggler. Neville’s going to definitely go far if he stays injury free, unlike that chump Daniel Bryan.

Sheamus and Ziggler brawl was cool. Sheamus got busted open the hard way, which definitely added a good amount of flavor to the match. I liked that touch. Not sure if it was planned however.

Bad News Barrett defeated R Truth

I almost though that R Truth was going to win this one. He had some good offense overall, but it was Bad News that got the win with his finisher, the Bull Hammer. I liked it enough. It wasn’t great, but it had some good moments. It was enough for me to at least not get too bored. Truth can still go, I’m impressed. Bad News is my pick to win this thing as I write this.

Wade Barrett defeated Neville

In a rushed match, Wade Barrett gets the predictable pin here. I think Neville’s great, really, but his offense doesn’t make sense to me. There is no “psychology” to some of the stuff he’s doing. However, it’s refreshing none the less.

This year’s King of the Ring winner Wade Barrett. Good stuff, not great, but hey, it is what it is.

Night of Champions 2011 Worst PPV

This ppv sucked. I didn't care about anything that happened, and the one match I did care about was just ridiculous.

CM Punk was well on his way to winning, but out came Kevin Nash and beat up Triple H and Punk. Miz and R Truth also interfered, and beat up the ref. Nash got knocked out with a sledge hammer, Punk got tore up with a powerbomb and 2 pedigrees and that was that.

The rest? Do you care?

Oh yeah.

SUPER JOHN CENA wins the title again...sigh..

Oh right, MARK HENRY is your new champion! He pinned Orton Clean.

I am glad I didn't spend $50 on this. Wow.

I Still Hate John Cena But Punk Is Ok

John Cena still sucks, and his stupid lines on the mic just make me hate him more. The opening of Raw was boring, and tired.

Since when is Mark Henry in the main picture? He's going to get a title shot? Really?

Sheamus is a good guy? Oh no.

CM Punk vs. Triple H was announced and I absolutely love it. I think the two can put on a great match, but with little to no build? I'm calling it now, Nash, Hall and X-Pac to show up and help Triple H win this one.

Cena? Christian? Team Boom? Ugh...the rest of Raw was forgettable to say the least.

Punk vs Miz went well, but it got tore up by R Truth. Nash's powerbomb on punk was good, I liked that.

Super Raw sucked.

My reviews are not going to get much longer, as I don't really care THAT much. I do want to see the ppv though, at least for Punk vs Triple H part 1

WWE Monday Night Raw 8/15/11 Results and Review

The show opened up with a quick recap of the main event picture that was cleared up at Summerslam, and I thought it was interesting. The finish of the match reminded me a lot of Spring Stampede 98…I think it was 1998. Where Macho won the World Title from Sting after Kevin Nash power bombed Sting to hell. I liked that year’s match ups. That might have been Spring Stampede 1999…who cares.

I told you I was back. Here are my thoughts about Raw.

Triple H’s speech was ok…kind of boring and dragged out. He apologized, and went on about how he had nothing to do with Kevin Nash running in, and then handed the microphone over to Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio’s mic skills have always been up to snuff, but more so now as he is an interesting anti-hero, but will most likely end up being another run of the mill heel.

John Morrison defeated R Truth (Falls Count Anywhere)

I feel like I’ve seen every Morrison match there is to be done. Meanwhile, I feel like I’ve seen every R Truth match that can be done as well. This match had a few moments of cool, but overall it was just standard. There were some nice spots thrown in, including Truth and Morrison getting friendly with a high back office chair, but I wasn’t too impressed. Morrison is still quite good, albeit terrible promo…you’d think he’d be better by now.

The Miz did a long promo where he basically had an advertisement for Subway. I’m not a fan of getting a pillow case full of lettuce, I’m sorry.

Kelly Kelly & Rosa defeated The Bella Twins

The bathroom match happened here. I talked to my girlfriend, and then it was over. Apparently Rosa got the pin…Or something…who cares. I know you don’t.

Kevin Nash is looking good these days; too bad Scott Hall can’t get his act together. Kevin Nash explained his actions and what not, and out came CM Punk. Punk then lambasted Nash. Punk wanted to fight Nash, but security came out.

Jack Swagger defeated Alex Riley

This match was not too good at all, and it was made worse when Swagger couldn’t pick up Alex Riley for his finisher. Sadly, that was the end of that. Ziggler was on color commentary and he came out and started trouble with Riley, sadly, another boredom movement displayed here.

Evan Bourne & Kofi Kingston defeated David Otunga & Michael McGullicutty (non title)
I’m way out of the loop because this match didn’t seem like something I saw coming any time soon. The match up was fast paced towards the end, and Evan Bourne once again shined with his amazing shooting star press. I’m not sure if he can continue to do this type of maneuver forever, but for now, it’s quite good. This will most likely lead to a tag title match.

Alberto Del Rio defeated Rey Mysterio (WWE Title)

This match was interesting to say the least. The main reason being that the little guy supposedly is injured, and yet has no signs of wear and tear. Del Rio was fighting this thing off like a champ, I couldn’t believe how many shots to the dome Mysterio took, meanwhile Del Rio couldn’t put him away. Mysterio went for the top rope drop but Del Rio put his legs up and rolled up Mysterio for the pinfall victory, and this one was as clean as you can get for the Champion. Not a 4 star classic, but a nice main event for tonight’s Raw.

After the match Mysterio got the beat down, and afterwards John Cena ran down and beat him up. Cena did his “mad” good guy shtick, which was stupid to me.

Raw was actually watchable. There wasn't much wrestling, as per usual, but it was entertaining enough. I'm interested in seeing how far the relationship between Triple H and Kevin Nash goes. The rest, well it doesn't seem nearly as compelling.

WWE Monday Night Raw 2/14/11 Results and Review

Monday Night Raw was in my old home town, but I was stuck in Moscow Idaho, sucking it up like a chump. Three huge matches were announced, and I was excited for what could happen, and we get right into the first major match up, it was Punk and Cena and there must be a winner!

John Cena gets such a huge reaction, I gotta admit, I'm starting to warm to Cena. Cena started the show with a promo and worked the crowd. CM Punk was getting a huge amount of offense in this match up. He was hitting some great moves, in and out of the ring, and I was completely impressed with this match. PUnk is the real deal, he's not just a small guy, he's a great performer and wrestler! Punk was getting into trouble, and while out on the floor, out of nowhere, someone gave CM Punk a chair, but when the ref took the chair, out came an arm with a WRENCH! PUNK USED A WRENCH! CENA then gets hit with the GTS and Cena gets pinned! I LOVED IT! GREAT RAW MATCH! I LOVED IT!

CM Punk defeated John Cena

Alberto Del Rio cut a promo, and that prompted Edge to come out! The two brawled and it looked like Edge was going to get the upper hand, and he seemed to have Del Rio right where he wanted, but Del Rio didn't just roll over, the two brawled until Edge hit a nice spear and Del Rio was left outside. Edge got a huge crowd reaction, man, I wish I lived in L.A. still.

Vickie Guerrero came out and got some of the most heat I've heard in a long time. What a crowd! Dolph Ziggler came out and was introduced as the new World Champion! Ziggler came out to astounding boos. Vickie then accuses Edge of attacking Teddy Long.

The divas match was quite good, and I was surprised at how much time and effort was placed into the match up. This was a Lumberjill match and the two put on a good amount of offense. This wasn't just flopping and botching, there were some unique points, and good ending. The brawling outside was lame, and the finish seemed weird, but Eve got the win via a pinfall. The two shook hands, and this match did end up being better than 90% of the other divas matches I've seen in the past. I was impressed, that's for sure. Natalya loses yet again, but it wasn't a squash at all.

Eve defeated Natalya

Mark Henry was coming down to the ring but out came Sheamus to beat him up! Sheamus hit a BRO Kick (which is what I call it), and that was that. Sheamus got on the MIC, and said that he's going to knock everyone out of the Elimination Chamber this weekend.

The Miz got a shot at Daniel Bryan one on one, which was awesome! The two started fast and furious, with The Miz seriously pushing Bryan, despite being less experienced in pro-wrestling. The Miz was putting the boots to Bryan, and it was interesting to see. Bryan threw Miz out to the floor and eventually hit a nice Knee drop to The Miz off the apron which was nice. Bryan's Missile Dropkick was amazing to see, and the crowd was excited for this one. Miz managed to hit one hell of a move, a neck breaker from the second rope onto the apron ont he outside of the RING! It was sick looking! After the break Bryan hit a HUGE power bomb off the top, then kicked the hell out of Miz! This was seriously the best match I've seen on free tv in a long time! The Miz was completely getting worked here, this was not an easy match for the Champion. The Skull Crushing Finale was hit and Daniel Bryan loses to the Miz, but it was NOT easy...not easy at all, great match for the Miz and Bryan, I loved it.

The Miz defeated Daniel Bryan

Next up was a good overall tag team match up. John Morrison and R Truth worked together to put on a great entertaining, fast paced match up. Morrison and Truth were all over the place, and McGullicutty and Otunga couldn't match the power. Mason Ryn awas also on the outside, and that was interesting to see too, he looks like little Batista, it's weird. THe match was good, nothing crazy, just a good back and forth tag match. Truth and Morrison make a good team.

John Morrison & R Truth defeated Mike McGullicutty & David Otunga

They let some little girl from The Chaperone do the Khali kiss Cam! This was lame.

The new 2/21/11 promo was crazy, and UNDERTAKER was completely shown inside the house, then lights went out, and it showed a weird guy outside the cabin...and that was it. IS IT STING?! No... I think it's just taker...I wish it was Sting.

Sheamus and Orton put on an interesting match up next. It was a little slow at first but Orton would dictate the pace towards the end, speeding through some great moments as Sheamus was making rookie mistakes. I was surprised with Sheamus in this match as he was able to put on a good match with great counters. The Irish Curse backbreaker was nice, the Super Plex was a nice touch too, and this match was great right into the RKO! Sheamus gets buried here, and loses yet again to Super Orton.

Randy Orton defeated Sheamus

Post match, out ran Punk and the new Nexus. That prompted John Morrison to come down and beat up Punk! Then came out R Truth, trying to stop R Truth, then came out John Cena! Cnea was hitting anything that moved! This was just bedlam! Then there were RKO's everywhere! Cena and Orton completely cleaned up house and were left standing up to Nexus. So Nexus can be taken out by 2 men? Not much a team. Lame.

A mysterious woman came out of a Limo. Then it was announced...the host of Wrestlemania 27!

THE ROCK! THE ROCK HAS FINALLY COME BACK TO THE WWE! THE ROCK IS THE GUEST HOST OF WRESTLEMANIA 27! THE ROCK! THAT's RIGHT! THE ROCK! DO YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN! THE ROCK came out to the crowd, and was completely welcomed, and the crowd went completely insane for this. I marked out a little, but I'm not a big Rock fan. The Rock cut an insane promo that was NOT PG, and it was great to see him.

He said that he was going to lay the Smackdown on someone at Wrestlemania. Before he could finish, the Anonymous general manager got a new message and The Rock completely killed Cole on the mic, and on the manager! The Rock called out JOHN CENA! THE ROCK CALLS OUT CENA! CENA VS THE ROCK WOULD SELL TICKETS! That's for sure! The ROCK completely buried John Cena! This is strange, I'm not sure I like this. The Rock completely buried John Cena and said that at Wrestlemania The Rock will see everyone at Mania. Wow.

I AM NOT thrilled with the Rock. Sure, it was an entertaining promo but he completely BURIED the WWE! He completely buried the product, did NOT go PG, and this was just insane. This was just insane, so stupid. I don't know, I'm not sold on this, I marked out initially but wow, The Rock buried the current generation of stars and wow...that was that.

Raw was great, don't get me wrong, but I am not 100% in agreement with this ending, I'm just not. I'm sorry.

WWE Monday Night Raw 2/7/11 Results and Review

I'm back in action with a review of Monday Night Raw. I'd like to thank all 2 readers that sometimes read this website. I completely understand that there are other sites, and I'm not worried about being #1 or anything, I do this because I personally love this crap, and yes it's been crap lately.

MR. McMahon showed up first and foremost. The crowd went nuts too. I'd love to meet McMahon, and discuss a few things, mainly how I can work for him as a web guy. He came out to a mediocre reaction with mixed feelings. McMahon said he'd introduce the guest host of Wrestlemania will be, and it sounds to me like it will be none other than Shawn Michaels.

Randy Orton came out and cut a promo, and it sucked. I can't stand Orton. Cm Punk came out to answer Randal! Punk said that he interfered in the match up because at Unforgiven 2008 Legacy beat the crap out of Punk and then PUNTED HIM in the head! I remember that vaguely, and it's nice to see that the WWE is using some older material to get motivation for Punk.

The New nexus came out and beat up Orton, for a few moments, and while Orton fought them, Punk was able to have his henchman beat up Orton. Punk recieved a bloody nose for his troubles as Orton didn't go down easily. Orton was then hit with a gruesome GTS, and that was that. Orton went down like a heap, then was mocked by Punk.

Faketista, Mason Ryan, Batista Lite, Batista 2, whatever you want to call him wrestled R Truth next and it was a relative squash match. Ryan beat up Truth than used a weird submission move to defeat Truth. I didn't know what the crowd was chanting, but I know what I was chanting, Batista! Batista! Oh wait, this is Mason Ryan. I really hope the WWE can get batista back so he can stand face to face with faketista!

R Truth defeated Mason Ryan (after the ref reversed the decision)

This match sucked. It featured minimal wrestling and lots of chatter with Michael Cole yelling at Natlya on commentary, and it sucked, I hated it. The match was ok, but Cole's ranting and yelling was so stupid that I couldn't get into the match. Eve won with a neckbreaker, I didn't care. Whatever.

Eve, Gail Kim and Tamina defeated Melina, The Bella twins

A new 2/21/11 promo aired and it had a Johnny Cash song in the background, which signals the return of The Undertaker, not Sting. I wish it was Sting...I guess I too got caught up with the whole thing.

McGullicutty might not be able to talk well on the live mic, but he has improved greatly in ring. He put on a good quick match with John Morrison even though Morrison was the one that got this thing won. Starship Pain actually landed and that was the end for Mike. Morrison isn't half bad at all, I like him.

John Morrison defeated Mike McGullicutty

Post match, CM Punk sprayed Morrison in the face with some sort of spray! Punk is all over the show, doing bad things, He's going to get completely beat down....it's just a matter of time before everyone unites to go after him.

Lawler and Miz squared off verbally before they ended up in fisticuffs. Lawler and Miz fought each other and Miz was not looking great at all, he was getting beat up! Ted Dibiase ran down and beat up Lawler. Daniel Bryan ran down and the General Manager made a match.

Daniel Bryan started the match quickly, with good offense. Speaking of which, when's the last time we saw a US Title defense? What a lousy title run. This match was your standard tag team match with Lawler and Bryan teaming well, and Miz and Dibiase taking a lot of bumps. After some outside grappling, Lawler was able to pin Ted Dibiase for the win!

Jerry Lawler & Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz and Ted Dibiase

Sheamus came out and talked trash, Otunga also came out and trid to get some shots in agaisnt Sheamus. Henry beat up Sheamus and then Otunga came out and raised his own hand. This was NOT a match, it was just a beatdown.

Out next came Alberto Del Rio, but you, you already knew that. Del Rio got on the mic and talked about how he was the next guy to go headline Wrestlemania. Santino ran down and Del Rio and Santino started going at it.

Del Rio first and foremost threw out Del Rio over the top rope! If he won the Royal Rumble, I truly believe WWE could mold him into a contender, but whatever. The match was actually more than just comical, it had a few good offensive moments from Santino, and Del Rio had to counter several times, and wasn't completely dominating. Eventually Del Rio would get his arm breaker on Santino and that was that. The winner, and you, you already knew it was Alberto Del Rio.

Alberto Del Rio defeated Santino

I haven't liked my middle name since Del Rio came to WWE...so I'm cheering for the guy! Woo!

John Cena, Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler sparred on the mic, with Cena going over, and that was that. I was tired at this point, and didn't care. As much as I can stand Cena a little more now, I don't really like him on the mic sometimes. I miss the old Rapping Cena, I wish they'd turn him heel, but you and I both know that is not going to happen.

John cena and CM Punk had an interesting encounter, and it was cool to see. Cena was definitely getting the best of this exchange. Punk was getting completely killed in this match, and eventually was hit with a huge low blow and Cena was disqualified. Out came the New Nexus to fight Cena, but Cena wasn't going down without a fight as King gave Cena a chair.

Cm Punk defeated John Cena via dq

Cena was in ring with a chair and last man standing. That was that. Raw had some good moments, but with a lack of substantial wrestling and an overtly "story line" driven night, it wasn't all that great. I'm not sure if I'd get too behind this night of Raw, but hey, it was nice to watch wrestling again, after missing so much of it last week. We'll see how this continues.

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/31/11 Results and Review

Fresh off of a great Royal Rumble, in my view, we get this week's Raw. I wasn't sure what to expect with the night after the Rumble, but I'm sure there was going to be a lot of people clashing. I for one couldn't believe that santino lasted so long before getting eliminated, and was hoping he'd get another shot.

First thing's first, out came a mariachi for Alberto Del Rio. Alberto Del Rio got into the ring and got some major boo's from the audience. The Miz came out and immediately cut a promo about how he's so great and Del Rio should face Miz. The Miz was trying to get Del Rio to pick Edge, and not Miz for his title match, and right before Del Rio could go ahead and pick him, out came EDGE to a huge ovation. Edge got a huge pop. Del Rio then picked his opponent, the World Heavyweight Champion, whomever that will be at Wrestlemania! If Edge is still champion he will face Edge. Alberto than grabbed a guitar and completely knocked Edge out and then grabbed Edge's arm and locked it into an armbreaker to much heat. I liked the opening here, and I for one am a huge Del Rio fan, simply because my middle name is none other than ALBERTO! Yep.

Santino and Kozlov fought two parts of the Nexus and were getting completely worked. McGullicutty put the boots to Santino and Husky managed to prove that he truly is like a tank. Kozlov would eventually get the tag and after a hot tag, Santino would get the win with none othe rthan THE COBRA! Yes, The Cobra defeats two members of the new Nexus. I still think Santino should've won the rumble.

Santino & Kozlov defeated Husky Harris & Mike McGullicutty

Randy Orton ran down and hit Husky and Mike with RKO's. He was hissing, from what I could tell, and was acting like a snake. He got a huge ovation, and that was that. He just came out and hit everyone, and the crowd went nuts. Orton was setting up Husky for the punt of his life, but was thwarted by Punk, who came out on the mic and told Orton not to do it. Orton then looked like he wasn't going to punt Husky after all, and took an exhausting amount of time just standing there, he then Punted Husky to oblivion, and ran out of the ring and throug the crowd! Orton punted Husky!

Ted Dibiase Jr came out and talked some trash with Lawler and then Lawler said that he was going to go to Wrestlemania and win the royal rumble, which prompted Ted to punk out Lawler, only to get punched out cold! Yep. Lawler punched out Ted Dibiase. I'm hoping that Lawler completely punches out Cole sometime soon.

A weird promo was made, which I assumed was Awesome Kong. All it said was 2/21/11 and that's it. I'm not sure what it meant, or who it was for.

This match was boring. Daniel Bryan got Tyson Kidd into the Labell Lock with relative ease. Kidd is on his way to being fired. I like Gail Kim, I'd love to hang out with her for a while. I don't like the Bella Twins.

Daniel Bryan defeated Tyson Kidd

This next match was champion vs champion, and it was interesting to see. The match was moving fast, and Edge seemed to be the better of the two, despite The miz getting some nice shots in. Edge tried to get the spear on Miz but hit the turnbuckle, and as Miz was getting this match in the bag, John Cena got on the mic and got the whole crowd to chant Miz is awful. Edge hit the spear and pinned Miz!

Edge defeated The Miz

The divas had a tag match and it was boring. There were a few nice moments, but a few moments don't make a great match. Laylacool win again, and Eve gets pinned. Layla has a nice finisher, and McCool interfering was good.

Laycool defeated Eve & Natalya

The Usos got killed in this match, which was nothing but a dance contest. This was the dumbest thing I've seen on raw in a long time.

Khali & Mark Henry defeated The Usos in a dance contest

Another weird ad was shown. It was dark, rainy, and just really dark. It simply said 2/21/11...I'm not sure what it is.

The next was a Raw Rumble match. 7 Men will enter in 9 second inervals, and regular rumble rules applies. The winner will face the WWE Champion at the PPV next month, and the rest of the six will be in the Raw side of the Elimination Match, fair enough? I hope so.

The man who drew #1 was none other than John Morrison

The man who drew #2 was none other than Sheamus

The two opponents fought each other with relative ease, not speeding through the match but having some good overall bumps. Morrison seemed to be getting the better of the exchange early on.

#3 John Cena

John Cena drew #3 and came out to a great ovation, and started mopping up immediately. He started with mopping up Sheamus easily, getting the crowd riled up. He then tried hitting the Attitude Adjustment on Morrison, but it was reversed and Cena got knocked out with relative ease.

#4 Cm Punk

The leader of the new Nexus was the guy that came out next, and he had a vendetta with Cena. He came in like a house on fire, hitting anything that moved, and completely knocking out everyone. He was the freshest man, and was doing a great deal of fighting, which was good to see overall.

#5 R Truth

Truth and Morrison both were nearly eliminated and both threw themselves over the top rope and back into the ring. The heels were all over the faces in this one, as Punk and Sheamus seemed to be taking control. The crowd was cheering for Cena like crazy.

#6 Jerry The King Lawler

Lawler was the next man to get called in and he wasn't half bad. He hit everyone with right hands, and was getting a chance to shine. He got a nice Jerry chant from the crowd, and he was giving it his best shot, and nearly eliminated Cm Punk at one point.

#7 Randy Orton

Orton was the 7th man, and Punk went underneath the ring to hide. Orton immediately was looking for him, under the ring, eventually got a hold of Punk's leg and dragged him out from under the ring. He then went to pummeling Punk. The match finally got all 7 members, and it was cool to see. Punk was immediately eliminated, and R Truth then eliminated Orton! It looked like it wasn't planned, which I liked. John Cena eliminated R Truth, and nearly got Morrison out. Morrison then got Cena over the top rope, and as Morrison and Cena were fighting on the apron, Sheamus nearly got eliminated! Three men were on the apron and only Lawler was left in the ring! This was high drama for sure, but all three men eventually got back into the ring.

All four men were back in and Sheamus was nearly Eliminated, and this match was definitely one of the best things I've seen in a long time. A great way to end Raw after a great Rumble. Cena got Sheamus into an STF and it didn't matter, but Morrison hit Starship Pain on Cena, and wow, I was marking out for all four men in this match, including Lawler who nearly eliminated Morrison! Sheamus hit Morrison off the apron with a Bro kick (i know it's broad or whatever), eliminating him. Cena, Lawler and Sheamus were the last people left.

Lawler was trying his hardest to get John Cena eliminated, and it was surreal to say the least. Lawler was pushed into Cena and that eliminated him, and Sheamus tried to Bro Kick Lawler, and he got eliminated next with help from Cena, leaving none other than JERRY THE KING LAWLER as the WINNER of the Raw Rumble!

JERRY "THE KING" LAWLER won the Raw Rumble

Jerry Lawler will face The Miz at the Elimination Chamber. I can't imagine Lawler winning the WWE championship. I just can't imagine him winning but you never really know.

WWE Smackdown 1/21/11 Results and Review

Wade Barrett is now on Smackdown and he has a new group, and wow, I'm liking the way Smackdown is headed, even if it's a rehash of Raw. I'm hoping it's better than NWO red and black, although I remember rocking an NWO shirt.

Ezekiel reminds me of Monty Brown. Remember the Pounce? I loved that finisher, I miss Monty Brown, where's he at?

Wades Barrett new song sucks. I liked the other music better. The new group started the show, and there is legitimate heat on this group, which is nice for a change. The new name for Wade Barrett's group is: The Core. The group took turns talking about how great they are and what not, and that prompted Teddy Long to come out and say that there's going to be problems...and solutions that he's bringing.

R Truth and Alberto Del Rio once again wrestled on Smackdown and it was what you'd expect. There were a lot of great moments here, with Truth controlling the pace of this match and Del Rio trying to get some sort of offense in. Meanwhile, the camera kept cutting to the backstage area where Teddy Long was out cold, because someone beat him up. Meanwhile, back in the ring Del Rio hit a nice kick and nearly knocked out Truth! I liked this match, there were some great points towards the end, and Del Rio kept moving forward with some nice counters, until Truth got a second wind. Del Rio's ring announcer once again caused a distraction and that was the opening Del Rio needed to get the arm bar and force Truth to tap!

Alberto Del Rio defeated R Truth

Vickie Guerrero has lost some weight.

The divas showed that they could put together something interesting. Beth Phoenix would get the win with the Glamslam and that's that. Layla didn't put up much of a fight here, and it was interesting to see Laycool squirm.

Beth Phoenix defeated Layla

Rey Mysterio came out in all red, and he looked like he was slightly limping. Dashing Cody Rhodes came out to face him and once again, he put on a good showcase. He is a vastly improving wrestler and while Mysterio won with relative ease after the 619 and splash off the top, it was the story of Cody Rhodes's nose that made the finish interesting. Rhodes apparently broke his nose? I don't know. I'd espect Rhodes to come out with a mask sooner than later. Mysterio is always exciting to see, and once again put on a good show for the live crowd and those watching at home.

Rey Mysterio defeated Dashing Cody Rhodes.

The Miz was on Smackdown.

This next match was stupid. It was a wrestling match in the traditional sense, rather than a pro-wrestling match. Kofi won eventually, and while it was entertaining, it was far from being a quality match up.

Kofi defeated Jack Swagger in a classic wrestling match

Drew McIntyre is still employed? He's seriously one of the worst additions to the WWE roster. I can't stand him, I don't think he's a good wrestler, and when I saw him in Pullman, Washington at a house show he looked like complete crap. He's NOT that great folks, he sucks. This match was stupid, and just was tired.

Drew McIntyre defeated Trent Barretta

Edge was able to fight off most of the attack from Justin Gabriel, and this match was definitely a plus. I liked this match up, it had a lot of great moments, and lots of good counters. Edge really made this match look good, and Gabriel was all over this one, flying off the top rope taking risks, and paying for mistakes. The Core would interfere and eventually beat up Edge, allowing Gabriel to get a pinfall win over the champion. After the match the core beat up Edge.

Justin Gabriel defeated Edge

This night of wrestling was ok at best. I didn't hate it. I didn't think it was the greatest, but it certainly was better than TNA and Superstars combined. The new group is interesting, and I wonder if we're going to end up seeing The Core vs. Nexus eventually. The Core's music sucks.

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/10/11 Review

I feel like I haven't had an adequate break from pro-wrestling in a long time. I feel like I'm overloaded with wrestling and yet can't make a dime with ads, or anyone buying anything on amazon. I'm sorry to vent, but when you've been unemployed for 16 months, and have to pay back a student loan for your education, you get kind of bummed sometimes.

Santino & Kozlov came out for the tag team championship match, but it didn't go down, because Nexus ran down and beat the champions up. They were all wearing new shirts, which looked awesome. This new group is amazing folks, and I like it, I really like where it's going.

CM Punk cut a promo and said that everyone has to prove that they are great...and that there will be an initiation!

Punk pulled out McGullicutty and was told he would have to get beaten into the group, gang land style!

Alberto Del Rio defeated R Truth

This was a quick match with not a lot of great action, but some good moments. Towards the end of the match, the two battled outside of the ring and Del Rio's ring announcer distracted R Truth and was counted out! That's right, Del Rio gets the win via countout. Del Rio is a great heel, and I hope they continue with it, cause he can generate some great heat.

This show was weird, that's all I can say...there were some seriously gay things with Nexus like getting "whipped"??? You had to see it to believe it.

Mark Henry & Daniel Bryan defeated Ted Dibiase & Tyson Kidd

I saw this match on Thursday, so it was ok. The same match we saw, only this time it seemed that Daniel Bryan and Mark Henry were short on time so this match was rushed and featured some heavy hitting offense. It eventually just had the good guys go over. The Bellas looked hot.

Big Show came out and beat up David Otunga.

John Morrison defeated Sheamus

Once again, Sheamus couldn't beat John Morrison. This is kind of odd booking if you ask me. John Morrison took one hell of a beating though, so this wasn't a burial match of any kind. Sheamus really had to work hard here, but when it was all said and done John Morrison managed to turn things around and won. Morrison's new push is awesome, and people are getting behind every win. Sheamus has been taking some serious hits, and hopefully he's being pushed into a Triple H match...sooner than later.

The King Jerry Lawler talked about the first inductee to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, and it is none other than:

Shawn Michaels

Wow. That's all I can say. Those video packages are awesome.

HBK came out and and talked about how great it is to go into the Hall of Fame. That prompted Alberto Del Rio to cut a heel promo. Yep. I kid you not. HBK listened but as Del Rio finished up, he got a face full of CHIN MUSIC! Yep. I kid you not, it looked impressive and Del Rio was out cold! It was awesome! I marked out like a 10 year old Cena fan.

CM Punk cut another promo, and Cena chimed in via Satellite....and well...he cut a promo on Punk...it was boring.

Randy Orton & Jerry Lawler defeated The Miz & Alex Riley

Alex Riley got completely killed in this match up because Randy Orton wouldn't let The Miz get involved with the match. That being said, Riley took a lot of offense, and it was insane. Lawler hit his mid rope fist drop and won the match for his team. That was that.

A strange night in wrestling, that's all I can say. The Nexus thing was weird. The titles seemed secondary. The wrestling was rushed, and it seemed like there wasn't much time for much more. Oh well.

Next week, John Cena will face Cm Punk! It should be good.

WWE Monday Night Raw 11/22/10 Review

One night after Survivor Series, and we get this night of Raw...after Survivor Series, I was completely left dumbfounded, and could only imagine what was going to go down...so here it goes, how it happened:

Nexus was in ring talking trash. The imaginary general manager chimed in, and wanted to talk, and he said that Wade Barrett will face off against Randy Orton for the WWE title....TONIGHT!

Wade Barrett said that he will allow John Cena to come back to Raw tonight.

Next week will be the King of The Ring tournament. Cm Punk was on the color commentary tonight and it was great, Punk on the mic and on the headset is amazing.

Sheamus defeated R Truth

Sheamus was aggressive and made the pace of this match really good, and it wasn't half bad. Sheamus is a massive guy and it showed when he wrestled a much leaner R Truth. Truth hit some nice spots, and top rope hits, but it was the HIGH CROSS that hit Truth into the mat and he lost this one. Sheamus moves on to the King of the Ring tournament. This was no burial, there were some nice spots here, and both men put on a good amount of offensive before it was all said and done.

Ezekiel Jackson defeated Alex Riley

Riley got squashed completely, and Jackson wins with ease. I don't care.

John Cena gave his last speech and the crowd was completely split in half. It was completely uproarious, and that was that. I guess Cena is officially out for now. I don't know why.

Daniel Bryan defeated Ted Dibiase

This match was good again, and Bryan proved yet again that he has what it takes to be in WWE. This wasn't as good as last night, but it still had a good amount of impact. He will now qualify for the King of the RIng tournament, and now the Bella Twins are all over Bryan...lucky, lucky dude.

Natalya defeated Alicia Fox

Terrible match, but I guess that's expected.

Morrison defeated Tyson Kidd

Kidd sucks. Morrison breezed through this one, and that was that. Not much here.

Randy Orton was headed out to the ring for his match and Nexus attacked him. They beat him up completely, and left him for dead! That's right, Nexus was completely dominant here, ambushing Orton. No one came to his rescue either, the ref's forced Nexus back, but the damage was done.

Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett

Orton came out for this match and his knee was hurt, and it showed. Barrett cruised through the majority of this match and Orton looked like he was completely lost here. Wade nearly had this won, but out of the crowd ran JOHN CENA, beat up Wade Barett and ORTON WON THE MATCH! ORTON WINS!

The crowd was all over this match, and the run in was awesome. Orton defeats Wade Barrett again, and I'm left wondering who is left to challenge for the WWE title, but whatever...what a good overall match up.

Then we heard...none other than....

AWESOME! I CAME TO PLAY! HE CASHED IN THE MONEY IN THE BANK BRIEFCASE!!!!

THE MIZ defeated Randy Orton

I marked out huge, I was going completely nuts for this. Alex Riley was at ring side. Orton was attacking Orton right away, and this thing was taking off! I was marking out huge! THE RKO seemed easy and it was nearly hit but NO, THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE was hiT and THE MIZ WINS! THE MIZ IS THE NEW WWE CHAMPION! THE MIZ THE MIZ THE MIZ AWESOME!

BEST RAW ENDING EVER!

THE MIZ WINS! THE MIZ THE MIZ!

AWESOME! I CAME TO PLAY! Wow!

WWE Monday Night Raw 11/1/10 Review

RAW this week started the show with a promo....ugh...I absolutely hate ORTON on the mic, he sucks. Cena came down to the ring and asked Orton to cut him some slack. Cena said that he can't necessarily call it down the middle, telegraphing a heel turn! I hope Cena turns heel, I'm hoping against hope.

Nexus defeated The Hart Dynasty

THis match wasn't all that great, it was boring. Nexus won this match, and The Hart Dynasty once again are teasing a split. I'm tired of the tag team division, which is sad. I'm already not enjoying the night of wrestling.

THE NEW SANTINO SHIRT IS AMAZING!

Sheamus came out and cut a promo, and Santino came out as well. Santino cut a funny promo, which was great.

Sheamus defeated Kozlov

This match was slow and boring. Sheamus won with the "bro" kick...this match was dumb, but Santino's new shirt is rad.

Morrison saved Santino from getting beat.

Ezekiel defeated Zack Ryder

THis match was stupid. Zack should move to TNA and feud with Robbie E.

The Big Show defeated The Miz

Miz got himself disqualified, and I was too tired to care.

Daniel Bryan defeated Ted Dibiase

This was a quick match and Ted Dibiase tapped out to Bryan. This wasn't a terrible match, but it wasn't as good as previous efforts. I am glad to see Daniel Bryan getting wins and hope he gets more competition.

Natalya defeated Laycool

This match was ok at best. It was fast, and Natalya won after a roll up. I guess Natalya now gets a title shot.

Freddie Prince Jr. was playing a doctor, and McMahon was out cold. The segments continued and McMahon wanted to run for President, but then Stephanie woke up and it looked like a dream.

Uh...I don't know what the whole point of the segments were, but I guess there's an election going on right now or someday? who cares!?!?

Randy Orton & R Truth defeated David Otunga & Wade Barrett

This match was entertaining, and I enjoyed it for the most part. John CEna served as the ref and counted the three count. This was the most interesting part of the story so far.

Raw left us with the question of Cena being impartial. I think we're reliving Summerslam 97!!! Just wait...in 3 weeks we will see a repeat of that classic main event.

The show started with Nexus coming down to the ring, with John Cena as well. Wade Barrett said that the audience didn't have to know why they attacked the Undertaker. Wade then went to talk to John Cena, and asked him to explain.

The general manager chimed in after Cena talked about how he did his job. Randy Orton would face any member of Nexus, to determine who would be the special guest referee. The stipulation made no sense to me, simply because the idea of Orton winning. If Orton won, would the loser be referee? Or would Orton be his own referee? Self high five! What's this? DDP!?!?! NO. I just wanted to write that.

David Otunga then got on the mic, and said that John Cena was "against us" and that JOhn Cena should be fired. Wade Barrett then made a tag team championship match between Nexus and the other members of Nexus?!? Yep.

Raw for a change, had me hooked within minutes.

Before the match started, Wade Barrett said, "someone has to do the right thing" meaning, someone has to lie down in the ring. David Otunga was then ordered to lay down in the middle of the ring, which was awesome! Could Wade Barrett have a Mutiny on his hand? John Cena to replace Wade Barrett and turn Heel? That'd be awesome! I'm marking out already! Oh man, this is some great writing!

Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel defeated David Otunga & John Cena

David Otunga literally, let himself get pinned. He looked dejected. It was sad, and afterwards, Cena left considerably upset.We have new tag team champions, that's for sure.

Daniel Bryan defeated Dolph Ziggler

In a rematch from last night's best match, these two put on another wrestling clinic. I marked out nicely for Daniel Bryan's full SURFBOARD which hasn't been seen in WWE in a long time. Ziggler managed to fight back, and Daniel Bryan was mopping up nicely. Cm Punk was at ring side, and he was "scouting" talent. I'd love to see a straightedge tag team between Bryan and Punk, considering they two are essentially straightedge. Daniel Bryan was getting legit respect from the fans and even Michael Cole was giving him credit for his offense tonight, and it was awesome. Bryan is so clean and crisp in ring, while Ziggler knows how to bump and make things exciting as well. At one point, Ziggler reversed a Hurricanrana into a pinfall attempt, which was nice. A superkick nearly blew Bryan's head off, and it was hard to write and watch after this point as both men were putting on another classic (at least in my view). Bryan had the Labell lock on Ziggler and Ziggler tapped out like a drunk man, despite Vickie Guerrero having his foot underneath the ropes.

Post match Cm Punk was clapping for Daniel Bryan, and I'm hoping for a Punk vs Bryan match or a tag team...it'd be interesting. They have to change Bryan's music though.

Sheamus and Santino exchanged words backstage, while Toby Keith looked on.

John Cena and Wade Barrett were arguing backstage about the tag title match.

Laycool defeated Melina & Gail Kim

Melina and Gail Kim jobbed to Laycool, simple as that. There was one good point in the match, one good move set, and the rest? Just bad. Just bad.

The Miz came to the ring and cut a promo. Eve came to the ring, which was definitely random. Eve was sparring verbally with Miz. Alex Riley then got on the mic and insulted Eve, which was interesting too. R Truth came out....and blah blah blah, Raw was losing steam for me.

The Miz defeated R Truth

The Miz once again steals a victory, and it wasn't half bad. I am not tired of Miz on the mic, but his wrestling the mid-carders? I'm a little tired of that. I'm hoping he cashes in soon, cause I'd love to see a Miz title run. This match was ok at best, with some high impact moves, and some cool run ins from Alex Riley.

Santino defeated Sheamus

Santino got completely manhandled in the ring. It wasn't until John Morrison ran down and started "coaching" Santino that things turned around. Sheamus was distracted by Morrison, and Santino got a pin after ducking the "Bro" kick. Yep, Santino wins!

Michael McGullicutty and Husky Harris are NOW members of Nexus.

The main event for raw had an interesting stipulation, but let's not forget that we've seen Randy Orton vs John Cena, one million times before. Literally, we've seen them wrestle in every single type of match imaginable, and for that, I didn't care for the main event. The show started hot and then lost me with the SAME OLD BS main event.

John Cena defeated Randy Orton via disqualification

The match was back and forth, and was fluid, as you would expect form these two men. The crowd was definitely divided amongst the two members, and no one man had the advantage for more than a few moments. Ortonw as getting ready to punt Cena into retirement, but Wade Barrett pulled Cena out and cost Orton the match! Orton loses, Barrett then gets pummeled by Orton, Cena is knocked out cold...and I could care less.

The Nexus ran down, and they seriously look huge now. With so many members now, Nexus (AKA NWO 3,000) is awesome. Wade Barrett stopped Cena from beating up all of Nexus, and now that Nexus has 2 new members, they are looking like a major dominant force.

Wade Barrett chose John Cena to be the special guest referee for the world title match. If Wade Barrett doesn't win the wwe title, John Cena will be fired on the spot. Also, Barrett will give John Cena a free pass from the Nexus if Wade Wins!!! I saw that coming, and that makes for an interesting conundrum, and HEEL TURN! FINALLY WWE is doing something right! I want to see what happens, and I know many of you do too!

I didn't absolutely love Raw, but it's the best Raw I've seen in a while, because I care about what's going on, to the extent that the main event is going to be a huge draw at the next ppv...wow...I want to know what happens next. OH man, finally wwe has got me hooked, and that's awesome.
