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 6/19/09 Results and Review Pretaped Madness
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 6/19/09 Results
Jeff Hardy defeated Chris Jericho via countout
Dolph Ziggler defeated The great Khali via disqualification
Melina defeated Alicia Fox
Edge defeated John Morrison
R Truth and Cryme Tyme defeated Ricky Ortiz, Charlie Haas, and Shelton Benjamin
Cm Punk defeated Rey Mysterio
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 6/19/09 Review
The show opened up with an in ring segment with Jeff Hardy. This is lame, Hardy can’t talk on the mic and it was painfully obvious here in this interview. CM Punk was called in to the interview table, and started to talk about how he’s getting blamed for no apparent reason.
Jeff Hardy defeated Chris Jericho via countout
In the front row sat several people in Rey Mysterio masks on. This would come into play later in the match. This match had Jericho controlling the majority of the flow, hitting major spots, and forcing Hardy to win this match with ease, but not until Rey Mysterio hit a nice leg toss from the security railing onto Jericho! But there were 5 people, was it Mysterio? Wasn’t it? Smackdown finally gets some smart writing here. You had to see it, it’s clever, very clever, like when they had 25 stings come down from the rafters at Halloween Havoc 1997. I think it was 1997. This caused Chris Jericho to get counted out and it was all over.
Dolph Ziggler defeated The great Khali via disqualification
Once again the Great Khali fights Ziggler…I’m so tired of seeing these guys wrestle. But I stand by my words that state that Dolph Ziggler has vastly improved since the he first showed up as the Ziggler character. He actually has some great athleticism. Ziggler through a chair at Khali when his back was turned, Khali punched the chair, and Ziggler played dead like Eddie Guerrero used to do. The ref disqualified him and Ziggler wins again. I wasn’t completely bored with this one, although some of you might be.
Melina defeated Alicia Fox
Alicia Fox didn’t stand a chance in this match. It was short and not sweet, Melina sucks and barely carried this match at all. Post match Michelle McCool attacked Melina and I for one was cheering. I am not a big fan of the divas but Michelle McCool is showing some serious intensity, which is cool. She sucks on the mic though, but she has some intensity. Too bad the Knockouts division in TNA is still way better.
Edge defeated John Morrison
The verbal sparring between these two was good. Morrison is gaining ground and if he keeps it up, he might take some face time in the main event away from Hardy, since Hardy is leaving…so I hear. This match was a slow moving match up with not too much to write about, and it seemed that these two were somewhat evenly matched. Edge took some chances in this match and it may have cost him as Morrison was able to get some great offense in as a result. However, Edge also countered as he was the veteran in this match up, but it turned out to be a nice back and forth affair between the two. The second half of this match really went well, Edge looked like he had this thing in the bag but Morrison was able to counter the spear by jumping over edge then hitting a nice spin kick, but it wasn’t enough to put away Edge. Morrison went for the Moonlight Pain but missed and Edge hit a thunderous spear and boom….Morrison was out and it was over.
R Truth and Cryme Tyme defeated Ricky Ortiz, Charlie Haas, and Shelton Benjamin
This was just a throwaway match up with poorly constructed spots. It was a terrible match up of sorts, and had a lot of spots but it was fast. It was just a random mash up of guys and of course you knew who was going to win. It wasn’t the world’s greatest jobbers that’s for sure.
A mask vs belt match was announced for the bash ppv.
Cm Punk defeated Rey Mysterio
Mysterio started this match with lots of kicks to CM Punk’s leg. Mysterio however put his guard down a little and Punk was able to turn things more his way, if only for a few moments until Mysterio started hitting more kicks. Punk was favoring his leg as we went into a commercial break. After the break the two competitors were doing quite well, neither one truly had an upper hand at all. Punk was still favoring his leg as he was swept into the 619 position but was able to avoid it but Mysterio pulled a sweet reversal into a pin and a near fall, creating a lot of interest from the crowd at this point. Jericho attacked Rey Mysterio during a point on the outside, and Mysterio was getting counted out swiftly, while Punk was inside, but to no avail for Jericho as Mysterio got back inside and was immediately hit with the GTS and it was all over. CM Punk’s GTS plus Jericho’s interference cost Mysterio this match up. A good overall match up.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 5/22/09 Results
John Morrison and Cryme Tyme defeated Shelton Benjamin, Ricky Ortiz, and Charlie Haas
Michelle McCool defeated Gail Kim
C.M. Punk defeated Chris Jericho via Disqualification when Umaga interfered
Dolph Ziggler defeated R. Truth
Jeff Hardy dfeated Edge
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 5/22/09 Review
The show opened up with Edge talking trash about Jeff Hardy and how good he was at Judgment Day. He was out there talking, and out came Theodore Long, who made a rematch for Extreme Rules. Jeff Hardy came out and got a match made somehow against Edge! The winner tonight in the rematch, will get to create the stipulations for their world championship match at Extreme rules later on this month!
John Morrison and Cryme Tyme defeated Shelton Benjamin, Ricky Ortiz, and Charlie Haas
Here we go, the jobbers against…the jobbers? I’m not sure what’s up with this match is or what it was meant to prove. It seemed like the b and c wrestlers were in this match up trying to be cool. Morrison is the only one in this match that is on the way up. The other guys just seemed like they were fulfilling a contract role in the WWE, and that’s why they were in this match. That’s not to take anything away from these guys, but it just seemed cobbled together to force these guys into the public’s eye. As far as the match is concerned, it wasn’t half bad, there were hot tags, there was isolation involved, and it just seemed an odd mix of wrestlers, making obvious mistakes, and trying to bring the crowd into the match, but moreover trying to make John Morrison the better wrestler of the bunch. If you don’t believe me, just watch the closing moments, with John Morrison hitting all his moves and getting top billing from JR for winning this match via pinfall on Charlie Haas.
Alicia fox getting slapped by Melina was stupid.
The number one contender was set to get decided next…I was so over the whole thing…but whatever.
Michelle McCool defeated Gail Kim
Wow, Gail Kim is back in the wwe? Yeah, I know she’s wrestled in the WWE before, but it seems like going into this match, the WWE hasn’t really put their chips on the line with her. It’s almost like they coerced her to jump ship from TNA only to have her job out to the champion and McCool…but the match had just began when I was thinking those thoughts, and I had to wait it out. Alicia Fox tried to interfere and while Kim knocked her away, McCool hit her finisher and it was over. Gail Kim is now just another diva’s jobber, way to ruin your career huh? I don’t blame her, I’d sell out in a second, I’m broke!
C.M. Punk defeated Chris Jericho via Disqualification when Umaga interfered
Well, I didn’t see the match last night, but if it was anything like this one, I’m glad to see that the WWE is letting these smaller dude’s get a fair shake. The match was back and forth with neither man getting the dominant hand, despite the odds shifting in each direction from time to time, as they each countered each other and tried to keep the other down. The counters towards the end were classic, and rolling into the Walls of Jericho was great. However, Grisham said that Jericho won a lot of matches with the Walls, but I beg to differ. When’s the last time he won via submission? Umaga ran down to fight off Punk, causing the dq, and he had a leather strap…I’m sure there will be a leather strap match for the Extreme Rules ppv. I didn’t like the ending, but Jericho is saved a second loss, I guess.
GUESS WHAT! UMAGA CAN SPEAK PERFECT ENGLISH! NICE CONTINUITY WWE! THANKS FOR PUNCHING MY BRAIN STEM WITH YOUR STUPID WRITING!
Dolph Ziggler defeated R. Truth
I wasn’t sure where this match was headed since both guys, to me are jobbers; Dolph Ziggler was getting beat up for a good part of this match up. He was getting worked against R Truth but it was Truth that got the raw end of the deal with another embarrassing loss. Is R Truth going to get fired soon too? I don’t know, he’s not getting that title push that he was getting a few months back with Shelton Benjamin, remember that?
Khali chased down Ziggler and he ran away…end of that.
Jeff Hardy dfeated Edge
I’m so sick of WWE repetition. Seriously it’s getting tough to stand. I’ve seen this match so many times, and now I have to see it not only here but also see it at the ppv? Oh, I can’t afford the ppv, so maybe I’ll get to miss it for a change. The match had Edge getting the upper hand towards the end of the match, Hardy was looking defeated and the crowd was getting a little too quiet. That being said, Edge looked as if he had no nagging injuries and was perfect in this match until he leaped off the middle rope into a nicely executed dropkick by Jeff Hardy! Picture perfect indeed, and Hardy started to turn the tables on Edge yet again. The Spear reversal was nice, but I’ve seen it before! Give me something new to work with folks! Come on! The near falls towards the end woke me up from my pouting mood, and it was nice to see that we get a longer match on WWE programming. Hardy hit the Twist of Fate and it looked like he was getting set to win this one with the Swanton Bomb! Edge tried to block it but nope, Edge loses clean but not for the title, so now Hardy will pick the stipulations of the extreme rules match. I’m sure it will be ladder or something stupid like that. I’m tired of seeing these two wrestle, I’m sorry, this is HHH vs The Rock 1997 – 1998 all over again. I’m sick of these two wrestling each other. We’re not in 1988 we are not watching AWA or WCW give us Flair vs Steamboat classics, these are getting tired, I’m getting tired.
So what did Jeff Hardy decide?
Ladder Match...Like I predicted 5 seconds before the answer was given.

ECW 1/20/09 Results and Review The Swagger Era Continues
The show opened with Jack Swagger and Matt Hardy being interviewed in the middle of the ring. They each traded words before Hardy slugged Swagger and the fight was on. The two men will fight each other this weekend at the Royal Rumble for the ECW Title.
Ricky Ortiz defeated Adam Evans
Ricky Ortiz opened up the night of wrestling with a quick win on a jobber. This is boring. I haven’t liked jobber matches since I was a small child watching WWE Superstars and Wrestling Challenge on free television. This match was quick and Ortiz won without any problems.
The Boogeyman defeated Paul Burchill
The Boogeyman finally got a real opponent, and it was Paul Burchill. I didn’t know where this was going, as we have been seeing Boogeyman steamrolling opponents left and right. This match had Paul being the aggressor, fighting off the Boogeyman, but as the crowd started to chant Boogeyman things started to turn around. That’s right, there was a Boogeyman chant! Weird. Burchill’s sister came in and interfered with the match and cost Paul the win. The Boogeyman wns via disqualification!
John Morrison defeated Finlay, Mark Henry, and the Miz
ECW has been picking up the pace at the end with solid main events. This was no different, the four men in this match made things interesting to say the least. It had a lot of action, with every man getting spots in, including Mark Henry looking really strong for a change. The Miz and Morrison were in there working like a team, but Mark Henry looked to be the odds on favorite! Finlay was definitely out numbered as all his attempts to get some offense in were thwarted by Miz and Morrison. I never thought that the Miz would be over, but man, the guy has improved so much. Mark Henry all but quit the match near the end Finlay got a second wind and isolated The Miz and hit the Emerald Fusion, but couldn’t capitalize as Morrison stepped in to take the pinfall! John Morrison pins his own partner The Miz to win this match up!

ECW 12/2/08 Results and Review
It’s about time we got a good ECW.
Jack Swagger defeated Ricky Ortiz
Swagger and Ortiz, two undefeated wrestlers went at it, and this was a surprise. I wasn’t sure who was going to win this one, but it was interesting to see that the wwe finally puts something interesting on television that doesn’t involve old people. Ricky Ortiz had this match up sewn up well, but out of the blue Jack Swagger hit his move and BOOOM! Ricky Ortiz is no longer undefeated! Swagger wins again! Jack Swagger is impressive now, I’m sorry, he’s just doing too well. Kid could go far if he loses that lisp.
Matt Hardy defeated MVP
The main event had a good build up that was carrying over from smackdown. MVP has been on a losing streak for a long time and this match was suppose to be his redemption. MVP was looking desperate out there, and he was doing anything he could to wear down the ecw champion. Matt Hardy and MVP went back and forth in this one several times and it looked like MVP was on the road to victory, but it just didn’t happen. MVP fell to the side effect from Matt Hardy and this was all over. MVP loses again, and some might argue that he’s on his way out.

ECW 11/4/08 Review and Results Election Day Wrestling
We get started quickly on this edition on ECW with one of the worst match ups ever dreamed up by the ECW creative team….
Matt Hardy defeated Bam Neely
This was a stupid idea, as Bam put the boots to Matt Hardy, and for once he looked strong! Seriously, Matt Hardy was looking weak against Bam Neely! The same idiot that gets beat down week in and week out is looking like a real contender, and that bugs me greatly; however, matt hardy gets the victory! As it should be.
Finlay defeated Mark Henry
I used to hate everything Mark Henry, but you know what? He’s actually doing a little better now. He’s actually hitting a good stride and he hasn’t been injured in a while. Meanwhile, Finlay is looking good too, a little bigger than his “fit finlay” days, but he’s out there doing his thing. He takes it to Mark Henry and pulls a victory in this quick match up. Not half bad. Finlay wins by cheating, but all things are good as Finlay will not get an ECW title shot. Will Finlay be the new champ? Maybe.

This was probably one of the worst episodes of ECW I’ve ever seen. Seriously, there is no merit to this edition of ECW as it was short, it had horrible matches and a lot of talking for no apparent reason. This is a waste of an hour for ECW. At least in the olden days of ECW television they would shove in a lot of good wrestling in their allotted time slot. This is a great parody of Ecw, that’s for sure.

ECW 10/7/08 Review and Results
ECW was in Spokane Washington last night, just 4 hours away from me, and it had quite the main event scheduled, and we open up the show with Finlay.
Tommy Dreamer & Finlay defeated Jack Swagger & Mike Knox
I can’t believe that the commentators were saying that Tommy Dreamer is one of the toughest guys in Ecw. Isn’t this the same Tommy Dreamer that is losing every week to random new guys? Early on Finlay and Dreamer really took Knox to the limits, with tandem moves, and everything that Tommy Dreamer has in his move set. We’re talking running bulldogs, hard clotheslines, suplexes and neck breakers, trying to make sure that he keeps job. He even jumps off the ring apron onto Swagger who was on the outside. This was short lived however, as Knox knocked out Dreamer to the outside and we get commercial! When we come back from the break, Knox was in there to full effect and things are going good for the bad guys. This too was fast because one minute or so later Finlay got the hot tag and was cleaning house, creating quite the momentum in this match. He picked up Knox on his shoulders and delivered the rolling slam, and I thought for sure this thing was over, but Swagger came in for the save. Meanwhile Hornswoggle did the tadpole splash on Knox, Finlay hit him in the head with the shalaly, and wins the match for his team.
A promo was shown for the Boogeyman, who is returning soon to Ecw. Why not? Hopefully he’s improved a little in his time off from the ring.
Mark Henry defeated Jamie Noble
Mark Henry basically killed Jamie Noble. I’m not sure why they pay Noble to just get the crap kicked out of him, because that’s all I ever see with the guy. He’s a good cruiserweight if the wwe would just give him a chance to sign. It’s stupid to see this crap, another squash match and Mark Henry is supposed to look like a real monster, but he doesn’t do that for me. He just looks like an idiot to me, because Noble is less than half his size.
John Morrison, Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes, and The Miz defeated CM Punk, Ricky Ortiz, Kofi Kingston, and Evan Bourne
This match was definitely good, and it got a lot of time given to it to develop. Immediately the good guys were getting in all their spots, and things were looking great. Each guy was doing his moves, but after the good guys cleared the ring, we went to commercial break. When we got back from the break, Ted Dibiase had Evan Bourne in one heck of a predicament, and for once, I started to actually see Dibiase for the talent he’s got. He actually can wrestle, and unlike Cody, I think Dibiase could have a long career as a second generation superstar. They worked over Bourne a lot, and he wasn’t looking too hot during the middle of this match up. The end of the match came when the ring was getting cleared out, and the high fliers were all jumping out of the ring onto the heels. This left Cm Punk and Morrison fighting inside, and after a distraction from Manu, Punk was pinned and it was all over! Good match, fast paced and relevant. These young guys are really the future if they can continue to develop their in ring promo's and continue to put on good matches every week.

ECW 9/30/08 Results and Review New Time Slot
New time slot for ECW and right off the bat we get Mark Henry and Matt Hardy out to the ring. Mark Henry is talking yet he has Atlas out there, which is dumb. This whole segment is dumb, I’m tired and it’s too early. The Miz and Morrison came out, but I didn’t care. We only have an hour show, so lets save these longwinded promos and interviews for the other shows.
Jack Swagger defeated Lenny Lane
What the hell? Lenny Lane in WWE? It’s about dang time! One of my favorite wrestlers from WCW is here again. Sure, Lenny Lane hasn’t been relevant, ever, but come on. It’s nice to see him in WWE for once. I knew he was going to job out but this was cool to me. Jack Swagger sucks, and he just wins this one fast, and who was surprised? I’m not. It sucks that Lenny Lane went from prancing around WCW to nowhere in the indies, to jobbing to this idiot Jack Swagger.
Mike Knox defeated Tommy Dreamer
I don’t know how many times I’ve actually stated in this blog that Tommy Dreamer should quit, but I keep trying to push the envelope in that regards. I’m tired of seeing Tommy Dreamer come out and get pwned! This match was fast, Knox basically knocked out Tommy Dreamer fast, and Swagger came back down to pick up the bones so to speak. Horrible match, and boring to see two squashes in a row.
John Morrison & The Miz and Mark Henry defeated Evan Bourne, Ricky Ortiz, and Evan Bourne
Here we go, a cool and quick six man tag. This match was not half bad, and the bad guys in this match really put a great effort in this one. They basically grounded Evan Bourne for a good portion of this match, specifically Morrison and his arm locks on Bourne. Every time Bourne tried to get out Morrison would go back to work on the rest holds, making sure that Evan Bourne could not get to the skies to mount an epic comeback. This made Monday nights eight man tag look really fast, because this match took its time, and I didn’t mind it. I liked that the Miz and Morrison were grounding Bourne and the rest holds made perfect sense to me. Of course you want to reduce Bourne’s high flying offense. They did a great job doing that, but eventually Bourne got out with a huricanrana, to get a hot tag to Matt Hardy. I thought for sure at this point the match would take off and we would see everyone in there, but Matt put an arm lock onto Morrison and really seemed to be pacing himself. The match then got out of hand close to the end of the hour, and we got to see more of all the competitors involved. Although, if anyone looked weak in this match up it was Ricky Ortiz, who was getting seriously worked over by John Morrison. This match went on a long time, and I credit ECW for putting on a seriously long match in the era of quick squashes and irrelevant tag matches. The match ended with Mark Henry dropping Evan Bourne with the world’s strongest slam for the win!
The main event on ECW was good and lengthy. It was ppv length to say the least. However, the rest of the show was just horrible. I hate squashes these days, and this one was bad. Oh well, this could be better, but it was nice to see such a long main event, making it seem worthwhile to watch ECW again.
OH and before you start whining about my comments on Lenny Lane, here's an old WCW clip of Three Count vs. Norman Smiley and Lenny Lane...see...he used to be in WCW.

Ecw 9/23/08 Results and Review
ECW came through once again on Sci Fi with no nonsense wrestling at its finest. Jim Ross was on commentary, and they were coming from Ohio State University! Todd Grisham was NOT on the show!
The Miz and Morrison opened the show and started to whine about how the new Superstars are messing them up. Teddy Long showed up and said what’s up, and told the former champs that the young bucks will continue to astonish and come through ECW. This prompted Ricky Ortiz came out and I swear he looks like the guy from Final Fight, anyone else feel that way?
Finlay defeated Bam Neely
If anyone thought that Bam Neely was going to win this one than you’re an idiot. Seriously, this match was somewhat boring. It was a standard squash match and Finlay once again gets an easy night in the WWE by defeating the most useless body guard of all time. I hope Bam gets fired soon.
Maryse defeated Michelle McCool
Word on the street is that Michelle McCool is going out with the Undertaker, and some might even say that’s why she’s the diva’s champion, but that’s neither here nor there. McCool is putting up some good matches, even though I don’t know if she’s all that great. Maryse is NOT that good, and actually looks like a fish out of water out there. There are moments in this match where Maryse is busy adjusting her outfit, rather than being the aggressor. There are even moments where Stryker and Ross talk about how Maryse isn’t capitalizing on her opportunities. Just after they said that, Maryse dropped McCool with a spike DDT and McCool loses this match after getting thrown off the top rope and the spike DDT. Maryse wins? Yep.
Mike Knox defeated Chase Stevens
Knox defeated Stevens easily. The most impressive part of this match up was that Knox was actually over with the crowd. The crowd even counted the one, two, three in this match. Jim Ross was basically selling Knox to the home audience waxing over how great he is as if Mike Knox was the second coming of HHH. Post Match Jack Swagger came out and dropped Stevens only to prompt Knox to come back to ringside, distracting Tommy Dreamer whom ran down for the save, and of course Jack Swagger drops Tommy Dreamer for his troubles. Swagger then is billed as an All American Wrestling machine, and the announce team really try to sell this guy to me. I don’t buy it.
The Miz and John Morrison wrestled to a No Contest
The Miz and John Morrison put on a good match, and I admit The Miz is the most improved wrestler that I've seen in a long time. I recall when he first showed up in WWE I was first to call him a Reality Show retard, but this guy is good now. NOt great, but good enough to be out there with Morrison and put on an entertaining match up. Towards the end of this match, I was really starting to get into it, and I thought it was great. I actually started to appreciate the effort that these two were putting into the match, and so did the live crowd who was starting to come alive towards the closing of this match up. The two butted heads while trying to do a top rope maneuver and both were counted down and both lost. Post match, Ricky Ortiz came out and did the BIG O on both guys then ran out of the ring and gave his rally towel to a pretty lady. (That's questionable)

Post Match Jack Swagger came out and dropped Stevens only to prompt Knox to come back to ringside, distracting Tommy Dreamer whom ran down for the save, and of course Jack Swagger drops Tommy Dreamer for his troubles. Swagger then is billed as an All American Wrestling machine, and the announce team really try to sell this guy to me. I don’t buy it.
The Miz and John Morrison wrestled to a No Contest
The Miz and John Morrison put on a good match, and I admit The Miz is the most improved wrestler that I've seen in a long time. I recall when he first showed up in WWE I was first to call him a Reality Show retard, but this guy is good now. NOt great, but good enough to be out there with Morrison and put on an entertaining match up. Towards the end of this match, I was really starting to get into it, and I thought it was great. I actually started to appreciate the effort that these two were putting into the match, and so did the live crowd who was starting to come alive towards the closing of this match up. The two butted heads while trying to do a top rope maneuver and both were counted down and both lost. Post match, Ricky Ortiz came out and did the BIG O on both guys then ran out of the ring and gave his rally towel to a pretty lady. (That's questionable)

ECW Results 9/2/08 Review The Dirty Show
The show opens up with The Dirt Sheet, and Mark Henry comes out to the ring. Chavo came out next, his music was replaced by Miz and Morrison, which is hilarious! If you missed it, you missed out on something huge.
Finlay was suppose to be out there, so Miz and Morrison says. However, instead, Miz and Morrison show a pre-recorded segment of them two as “The Finlay” brothers, which is hilarious!
Hardy then comes out to a huge pop, and then makes fun of the heels. This of course forced Miz and Morrison to attack and Hardy gets jumped only to get the ECW locker room come out to help, and we are sent straight to commercial.
The backstage area is flooded with ECW’s locker room, and Teddy signs up a match for later tonight.
Super Crazy defeated Gavin Spears
I’m not sure who Gavin Spears is, but this is sad. Super Crazy is getting a push? Whatever the case is, Spears gets beat down by an ECW original, who appears to be breaking that glass ceiling of Ecw originals. Super Crazy picks up the win, in an interesting match, although it’s not all that good overall. It’s just a random match, that really meant nothing.
Ricky Ortiz defeated Ryan Braddock
I’m not sure when ECW became Saturday Morning Superstars, because this match is horrible. Ortiz is looking ok at best, but unless he gets into a serious feud or something worth mentioning, these squash matches aren’t going to help him out. Although, to the jobbers credit, they are a little better than the average jobber from yester year, but that’s not saying a whole lot, if you remember that far back in wrestling history. I don’t think Ortiz is going to get over like this, but then again, I’m a writer for this blog and not a wwe creative team member. I’d like that salary, that’s for sure. This match was boring at points, and Braddock really put Ortiz through the ringer, for a jobber. Boring though. Ortiz wins again.
Matt Hardy, Tommy Dreamer, Evan Bourne, and Finlay defeated Miz, Morrison, Chavo Guerrero, and Mark Henry
When’s the last time we saw a ten man tag? Those were pretty cool, but eight man tags are ok too. This match was fun to watch, each star got a little ring time, and each one made it interesting in their own way. I liked the match overall, as there was a lot of quick spots, given the time limit is short. The most surprising thing to me in this match up was the amount of time that was given to Tommy Dreamer, considering he too is an ECW original. I can’t believe Tommy Dreamer is still employed. Whatever the case is, he sets up the ending of this match to allow Matt Hardy to hit the twist of fate and the crowd goes completely insane for him.

Overall, ECW was fast and to the point. I love how the ECW show has been going, and while I don’t like the constant jobber matches, the main events have been quite good lately. I hope they continue to push the limits in the near future, and I hope that Hardy finally gets another shot at a title! It’s about time ya know? Too bad Lita can’t come back for me to look at…but that’s for another story altogether. ECW was good, I liked it, at least the main event and the push towards that championship scramble. Sounds like a Denny’s breakfast huh?

ECW 7/29/2008 Review New Stuff
First and foremost, ECW doesn’t look like ECW at all anymore. There was huge pyro, a huge stage, and all sorts of stupidity for such an “extreme” show. Todd Grisham shows up and he is the new in ring announcer for ECW. That guy is one lucky son of a gun! He’s living my dream, that’s for sure.
Matt Hardy In Ring Segment:
What a lame segment. Matt Hardy can’t really talk on the mic, he has no charisma, although he’s a lot better than previous years, that’s for sure. I’m getting tired of seeing Mark Henry bending crap, it just seems stupid to me. I’m tired of seeing this already. Matt Hardy then says something to the effect of, inanimate objects don’t fight back, and no one cared. What a waste of time, ECW sucks now. Seriously, what happened to my favorite show? What happened to Paul Heyman? This piece of junk is lame.
One thing is for sure, Todd Grisham is amazing compared to Mike Adamle, and he already corrected Tazz! Awesome! Grisham is my guy…next to Joey Styles, I wish he would come back.
Ricky Ortiz defeated Chavo Guerrero via Disqualification
If you shaved Ricky Ortiz’s head he would look a lot like The Rock. He has the same facial bone structure. He lacks the charisma however. Chavo with another loss, and Bam once again just proved he’s the worst body guard of all time. Evan Bourne came out for the save after the match, but this really wasn’t all that great. In fact, this match was boring, and I’m sad to say that Chavo’s grounded offense is really lackluster. I really miss the times when Chavo was fast and could fly. It seems like the juice has made me a slower small wrestler, and his ground attack is not that strong at all. It’s stupid. The match was lame, and Ortiz looked weak throughout.
Backstage segment Collin Delaney:
Collin backstage is hilarious. He genuinely looks out of place, which is good for his character. He’s a horrible actor though. Matt Hardy will wrestle Collin tonight, and if he wins, he’ll be part of the posse backstage. Something tells me this isn’t going to fair well for Delaney. But at least he’s a major part of the show, that’s always good.
The Miz & John Morrison defeated Hornswoggle & Finlay
I’m so tired of seeing these guys wrestle. How many times have we seen this match up? It seems that the ECW roster, although some improvements thanks to the draft, just recycles all their matches and creates a cluster of stupid matches that they spoon feed us on a weekly basis. Do they think they are doing us any favors by showing the same stupid matches week in and week out. I hope this doesn’t mean that we’re going to see these guys go at it at Summerslam, because if this match is on the card, things are going to be really sad for me and the rest of the WWE fans out there that are tired of this match, it’s the same match they’ve been having all along and there is no story development in the ring or outside the ring. I think that maybe, in the long run, little Hornswoggle isn’t going to be at Finlay’s corner. Mike Knox runs in afterwards and confirms my suspicions by beating down Finlay, then looking at Hornswoggle as though he’s next. Knox sucks.
Matt Hardy and Walker Backstage:
Hardy cracks a “wildcat” joke, and a deadpan audience was drooling and not listening. Lame back stage segment.
Matt Hardy defeated Collin Delaney
No surprise here, this really was a lame duck of a match up. Delaney bumps like crazy for Matt Hardy, losing as usual. He gets worked over hard, and this match is just proving that Hardy can go, and Collin can bump. He really gets tossed around in this match up, and really doesn’t do much else. I don’t like how WWE gets these new talents, only to bury them. Some might call it paying dues, but come on, this is just getting ridiculous, but I guess it beats sitting in an office writing about wrestling.
Mark Henry annihilates Collin afterwards, throwing him over the top rope onto the floor.
ECW 7/29/2008 Quick Results:
Ricky Ortiz def. Chavo Guerrero (disqualification)
The Miz & John Morrison def. Finlay & Hornswoggle
Matt Hardy def. Colin Delaney
What happened to ECW? It just looks like another WWE show now, it doesn’t resemble anything like the old ECW and it’s not even Extreme. They might as well just give it up. It bores me to see how bad things have gotten. This whole show needs to get cancelled. There’s not a whole lot to this show, and not even the Divas were around to spice things up, even though I hate their wrestling, at least they are eye candy.
ECW was horrible.
