ECW on SCYFY 9/9/09 Review

The Hurricane defeated Paul Burchill

Paul Burchill had a few moments of offense but overall it was The Hurricane that was featured big time in this match, and he was definitely trying to return to his former glory, and eventually with a lot of spots, made a win for himself. He still looks a little slow for the ware but has continued to work out, even if Paul isn’t exactly the greatest star in the world, and you know what? He probably is going to get let go soon. Then again, I’ve been saying that each week for years now.

Shelton Benjamin & Shaemus defeated Goldust & Yoshi Tatsu

This match wasn’t half bad, I really thought that Goldust put on a great show, and the amount of time he was given in the hot tag portion was actually solid. Shaemus was ok, but it was Goldust that seemed poised to carry this match to its conclusion. Shelton Benjamin got the blind tag and made trouble for himself, but overall this match could’ve been worse. Yoshi Tatsu also made a few good moments, but it was definitely Shaemus that got the better of everything in this match, creating a new foe with an attempted beat down of Shelton Benjamin after the match was over.

Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov defeated Christian & Tommy Dreamer

Dreamer looks old but when wrestling the big guys he is actually right on par with their speed. That is not necessarily a great thing, but it is understood that the big heels right now on ECW aren’t the greatest guys in the world at wrestling nor fast paced mat action. Tommy Dreamer and Christian put together an ok team, and this match was better than I thought it would be. Ezekiel got the pin, and this match was over faster than I thought it would be. William Regal of course played up his distraction on the outside and this match ended up being ok.

Overall ECW wasn’t that impressive, but it’s quick format made me feel alright about it.

**NOTE***

Sorry for all the notes lately, but I’ve had a hard time these days. I will be out of town this week and will be moving from Seattle to a smaller, less expensive city. So I’ll have some lapses here and there, but stick with me and we’ll all be ok.

Ecw on ScyFy 8/11/09 Review

Shelton Benjamin defeated Zack Ryder

I liked how this feuded started. No, not the singing, but the fact that Ryder attacked Benjamin during his rendition of the classic Hootie and The Blowfish song; that beginning led way into this starting match. The two were fighting tooth and nail, and I loved where they started in this match up, with both guys hitting hard, fast, and pacing a lot better than the average big man match, consisting of running the ropes, instead of going to a headlock from the start. Zack Ryder did slow things down a little, it was Shelton that made the crowd go wild with nicely timed reversals and good overall power, with the crowd firmly behind The Gold Standard. A frustrated Ryder made way to another Shelton Benjamin victory.

Vladimir Kozlov defeated Jobber

Another jobber loses to Kozlov. I’m tired of seeing Kozlov beat up jobbers.

Post match Ezekiel Jackson came down beat up a jobber too. These two wrestlers have been on a collision course, and they have yet to wrestle each other, I’m sure they will someday, just not this time

Yoshi Tatsu defeated Paul Burchill via disqualification

Paul Burchill as really putting Yoshi through ringer in this match up. Paul was really fighting hard, and was seriously hitting harder than I’ve seen him wrestle in recent times. Katie Lea interfered and this forced a disqualification, so maybe Paul’s intensity was due in large part to the length of the match up.

Post match The Hurricane, in full Super Hero costume saved Yoshi from a beating! I kid you not, The Hurricane is back in Green!

Tyler Reks defeated Tom James (jobber)

Don’t blink during this match, you might miss it. Another jobber match with the new guy Tyler Reks getting the win. Tyler Reks is impressive, but he needs more opponents to get over with the fans, and myself. He’s ok, but not exactly quite there yet.
Christian was on the Abraham Washington show, and it was ok, I guess?

William Regal defeated Tommy Dreamer

First Regal was named the #1 contender, then he gets a match with Dreamer. Regal is a legit contender, and word on the street is that Tommy Dreamer is injured. Regal worked on Tommy Dreamer’s injured left arm, and was slowly fighting him, and this match was not much else. Dreamer made a small comeback, but it was Regal that was like a rabid dog against Dreamer during this match up. Regal eventually knocked out Dreamer with a knee to the face and we said goodnight to Dreamer…he’s on his way out in my view.

ECW on Scifi 7/09/09 Review

ECW was moved to Thursday, throwing a wrench into my schedule.

Nikki Bella defeated Katie Lea Burchill

The crowd was dead for this opener. If the highlight of a match is a hip toss, you know you’re in trouble. Brie jumped in an exchange and Brie gets the pin on Katie Lea. This match sucked.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Yoshi Tatsu

This was a match, unlike last week’s burial of Benjamin. Yoshi had his hands full with Shelton, as Benjamin was really putting on a clinic on Yoshi. Yoshi took a beating for a good portion of the match, and definitely wasn’t as wily as the veteran. Yoshi was hitting some major spots in this match, and was rather impressive for a new comer. Benjamin got back into the match with a nice release suplex. This time around it was Benjamin that hit Paydirt and boom. Yoshi impressed me, he should impress you…hopefully he doesn’t get fired.

Ezekiel Jackson defeated Jobber #3939

Jackson beat up some idiot. This match was lame. Ezekiel is on the juice. This match sucked. He wins…I hate jobber matches.

The Hurricane is back! Yep.

The Abraham Washington show was up next with Tommy Dreamer as the guest. Tommy Dreamer and Washington sparred verbally, but kind of boring.

Christian defeated Vladimir Kozlov

Kozlov put on a good match up, although calling it good is an overstatement indeed. Kozlov was slow in moving and did have some major shots, but overall lost when Christian hit the Killswitch. Kozlov is still way too slow for prime time, I’ll tell you that much. This match was a little boring, but it went through well enough to keep me entertained.

Yoshi Tatsu defeated Shelton Benjamin
Shamus defeated Oliver John
Vladimir Kozlov & William Regal defeated Christian & Tommy Dreamer

Ecw on Scifi 6/30/09 Results and Review

The start of ECW had the general manager talking about having new superstars thanks to Trump. Guess who got demoted? Shelton Benjamin!

Yoshi Tatsu defeated Shelton Benjamin

Yoshi Tatsu is an all new guy, he looked interesting, and Shelton was completely surprised. Shelton was making fun of Yoshi and then got hit in the head and it was over. Shelton jobs to Yoshi in a few seconds…what a terrible match. I want to wish Shelton his best on his future endeavors.

Abraham Washington has his own MVP style show. Washington is the latest ECW acquisition. Washington was playing up a comedian type show making fun of people. This segment was lame.

Shamus defeated Oliver John

These guys were nothing more than new jobber types. Shamus won, with some interesting power moves, but this guy was not great. I wasn’t impressed yet, and it really just seemed like a lackluster Ecw match, seriously.

Vladimir Kozlov & William Regal defeated Christian & Tommy Dreamer

This match was your standard tag match, it seemed painfully obvious that these four are the future of ECW and that’s a shame. They put together an ok match up, but nothing too crazy. Kozlov is still looking amateur at best, Christian and Dreamer worked well, but it just seemed so forced at times. Somehow, Regal pulled off a good overall match by getting the pin. The foreign movement in the heel department is evident in this match up.

This was the worst ECW I’ve seen in a long time.

ECW on Scifi 5/12/9 Results and Review Swagger stops By Again

ECW on Scifi 5/12/09 Results

Mark Henry defeated Tommy Dreamer
Finlay defeated Tyson Kidd via dq
Vladimir Kozlov defeated a jobber

Ecw on Scifi 5/12/09 Review

The show opened up with Christian and Jack Swagger talking to the general manager. It was the worst promo I’ve seen in a long time. Such a stale bit of backstage introduction, that I wanted to just go back to bed.

Mark Henry defeated Tommy Dreamer

Tommy almost had me believing that he could make a comeback in ECW, however it just didn’t work. Mark Henry got worked and basically just lost this match up due to brute force. Mark Henry was never too far away from control, and Tommy Dreamer did have a few moments of greatness, but not enough to win this match, so Dreamer is on his way out.

Finlay defeated Tyson Kidd via dq

This match was very back and forth with Tyson Kidd and Finlay exchanging various points in this match up. This was probably one of the better matches in ECW lately as the two were really putting their best foot forward as far as mat wrestling was concerned. However, Finlay looked like he was getting the edge against Tyson Kidd only to have the rug swept from under him, with the DH Smith interfering.

For those of you that don’t know DH Smith is the son of The British Bulldog. He’s considerably smaller, and at the end of the match the two performed The Heart Attack, the move made famous by the old Hart Foundation.

Vladimir Kozlov defeated a jobber

Kozlov defeated some random jobber, it was stupid and nothing really happened.

Christian had his Peep Show with the former ECW champion as the guest. Jack Swagger was in ring verbally sparring with Christian, or trying to anyways. It was kind of funny, but that was about it.

Ecw was lame this week.

****NOTE

I’ll be out of town this next few days. I will only have smaller updates and no reviews until next Tuesday with the Raw review. If you really want to help, buty something from amazon so I can get a ppv or two, it’s costing more than it should. If not, that’s cool, I’ll be back next week with more.

Ecw on Scifi 5/5/09 Results and Review Late Starter

I forgot to set my dvr to record this early on, and ended up missing the very beginning of this one, but I’ll review it based on what I started at.

Ecw on Scifi 5/5/09 Results

Evan Bourne defeated Tyson Kidd
Vladimir Kozlov defeated Jesse Guilmette
Mark Henry and Jack Swagger defeated Tommy Dreamer and Christian

Ecw on Scifi 5/5/09 Review

Evan Bourne defeated Tyson Kidd

My dvr picked this up at the midpoint of the Tyson Kidd match up against Evan Bourne. Kidd was slowing down the match up completely. Kidd was making this boring to me, and I didn’t really enjoy the mid point of this match at all. I admit though Kidd has amazing timing, and so does Bourne. The tilt a whirl back breaker was as good if not better than anything you might see in Lucha Libre lately. Evan Bourne kept trying to mount a comeback and eventually got a slight edge over Tyson Kidd with a short knee to the chin from a standing position (no not the high or low knee by Triple H). Natalya got involved into this match and nearly cost Evan Bourne. Finlay came down to regulate, hit Kidd and allowed Bourne to hit the Shooting Star press for the win over Tyson! Overall a good match but the announce team weren’t to excited at this match and it made me kind of tired. Those dudes need to get a little more excited about their jobs, I mean they aren’t rocket scientists.

Jack Swagger was in the ring talking and griping, but Tommy Dreamer ran down and taught him a quick lesson, Swagger ran away and looked at the camera angrily. Zack Ryder showed up backstage and there was some random Hot chick and it reminded me of my old Manager Vickie, she was kind of hot. I heard some stories….I’ll just stop there.

Vladimir Kozlov defeated Jesse Guilmette

Kozlov bulldozed his way through this no name jobber. I don’t like these jobber matches. I haven’t liked them since I was a kid. I don’t think that Kozlov needs any help to prove that he’s a monster. He hasn’t even been tested on ECW and is just filler. I wish I had a job where I just beat up a jobber and then went home. Instead I have to work 9 to 5 like a chump.

Christian vs Mark Henry No Contest

Christian had this match in control but out came Jack Swagger to mop up then Tommy Dreamer came out to fight Jack Swagger. This match wasn’t going anywhere, until the interruption. Out came the general manager and she declared a tag team match. So after the break we started a new tag team match instead of the singles match of boredom.

Mark Henry and Jack Swagger defeated Tommy Dreamer and Christian

This match picked up midway through a tag team match up and it looked as though Mark Henry and Jack Swagger had things going in their favor. Tommy Dreamer got a hot tag and he was making the best of it. He had Swagger in the Tree of Woe, Mark Henry ran into Swagger and then it seemed like clockwork, Dreamer and Christian were throwing down like it was 1999. Swagger changes the course of this match with an exposed middle turnbuckle and the Swagger bomb for the win. So there you have it, the douchebag All American American wins this match up.

Hornswoggle defeated Natalya
Evan Bourne defeated Paul Burchill with Katie Lea
Vladimir Kozlov defeated Jobber

Ecw on Scifi 4/21/09 Review

Finlay opened the show with the announcement that Hornswoggle will be going to Raw and that he would going to wrestle tonight! Natalya came out with Tyson Kidd and started to make fun of Hornswoggle!

Hornswoggle defeated Natalya

This was a throwaway match, and had Hornswoggle defeating Natalya in a very short…no pun intended, match. Natalya rolled up fast and that was the end of this match and a goodbye for Hornswoggle on Ecw.

Evan Bourne defeated Paul Burchill with Katie Lea

Paul Burchill was going full force against Evan Bourne in this match up. He pulled a nice double knee offense into the corner, but outside of that he was relying on rest holds to ground Evan Bourne and keep him away from the ropes. This resulted in a lot of good power moves, including a fisherman’s release suplex! So the match began and continued through with rest hold then power move style, but you knew Evan Bourne was going to mount a comeback. Evan Bourne and Paul Burchill exchanged near falls for a good portion of the match, but it was the youngster that pulled it out of the hat with the shooting star press for the victory. Hopefully the WWE does something more with Bourne, as his matches are becoming very predictable.

Vladimir Kozlov defeated Jobber

This jobber posed no serious threat to Kozlov. In fact this could be called a throwback to the old days of wrestling as Kozlov just power moved his way o an easy win. The Jobber just took it and was happy to get paid to be beat up.

Jack Swagger and Christian had a contract signing. Jack Swagger was ranting about how he’s on top of the wrestling world and at least ECW. Christian didn’t say very match he just stared at the ECW champion. Christian on the mic is perfect, I couldn’t believe that the Wwe allowed him to tear up Jack Swagger so well.

The signing turned into a melee and Swagger hit a power bomb through the table set up in ring and Christian was left in ring buried. The crowd didn’t react too much, and Swagger looked dumb to me.

John Morrison defeated Evan Bourne

ECW on Sci Fi 4/14/09 Review

John Morrison defeated Evan Bourne

The night opened up interestingly with Morrison fighting Evan Bourne. Evan is ok, but he’s starting to just be a one trick pony. An exciting one at that, but you need something more than just that. In this match you saw how small Evan Bourne really is, as he was dwarved by Morrison in this match up. Overall this match up wasn’t half bad, and things really got interesting when Morrison hit Evan in the face with a knee so hard that it nearly knocked out Bourne. It was the main replay in this match up, it seriously looked like it hurt. Morrison is surprisingly fast at times, countering Evan Bourne in various stages of this match, including running back and forth into the ring. I was actually surprised how much time this match was given. It really showed that either ECW didn’t have much planned, or there wasn’t too many people left on the roster to fill the hour. This match was back and forth, with a lot of different moves and counters, but I couldn’t help but notice that there was no clear cut psychology to the steps, it was just counter to move to power move to rest hold. While this is fine in many cases, it just seems a little odd to give a match so much time but not have that storytelling that someone like Bret Hart would give to this length of time. A highlight was definitely seeing Evan Bourne get hit with the Moonlight Drive from the corner ring post, as Evan Bourne was setting up for his Shooting Star Press. Evan couldn’t get up from that, and this match was said to be a match of the year candidate by Matt Stryker. It was definitely the best Non-PPV match I’ve seen in a long time, that’s for sure.

Vladimir Kozlov defeated David Something (Jobber)

I hate jobber matches. This was a jobber match. The other guy didn’t even look like he could wrestle at all. It looks like they found a random idiot in the crowd and let him in the ring. It was messed up, but I guess that’s just a throwback to the 80’s.

Finlay defeated Christian and Tommy Dreamer

Finlay won. I had an emergency and missed this match.

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

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

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

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

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

Kelly Kelly & Mickie James defeated Jillian & Beth Phoenix

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

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

Shawn Michaels defeated Vladimir Kozlov

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

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

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

John Cena defeated Edge via Disqualification

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

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

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

WWE Smackdown Review 7/25/08 Post Wedding Mayhem

To start off the show we get a recap of last week’s Smackdown ending, and you know what? It’s a lot better condensed.

In Ring Segment 1:

Jeff Hardy enters the VIP Lounge and he’s great on the mic. He says that he’s the odds on favorite to win the battle royal to face Triple H.

Jeff Hardy says he hasn’t seen MVP win a match since he had the U.S Championship.

MVP talks smack about Jeff Hardy’s WWE Magazine cover. MVP starts talking bad about Jeff Hardy, reminding him of his suspension and his house that burned down. Jeff tries to keep up, but MVP is just too good and keeps firing away as the HEEL.

Hardy then looks fed up, and here we go!

Hardy pushes MVP and the fans start to turn, but quickly go to a Hardy chant, MVP quickly gets out of the ring, and looks upset. He walks away, leaving the ring to Jeff Hardy.

I think that MVP looked great in the ring, and Hardy looked genuinely pissed that he was out spoken by MVP, which is a great thing. They generated a lot of heat in a matter of moments, and while I am not a big fan of in ring segments, I did enjoy MVP pushing buttons and it reminded me a lot of what Santino can do on the mic.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Jimmy Wang Yang

As soon as the music hit, I knew this was going to be a throw away match. Yang hasn’t gotten a decent shake in a long time, and Benjamin has just won the title. Benjamin goes relatively unharmed in this glorified squash match. Benjamin has improved a lot, in what seems like overnight, and he totally drops Yang with his finisher The Pay Dirt for the win. Yang never had a chance.

Backstage Segment 1:

The Edgekins are backstage with Edge. Edge apologizes for last week. The Edgekins says that they don’t need an explanation, and then they run off.

Festus defeated Curt Hawkins

This was a stupid squash match and served no purpose. Festus beat Hawkins fast, and then after the bell, gets beatdown for no apparent reason. Jesse gets dumped out, and this is how we are going to build to Festus and Jesse winning the tag titles. The crowd was not into the ending, what a load of crap. I hate when WWE squashes guys like this for no apparent reason.

Backstage Segment 2:

Edge is talking to his wedding planner backstage, when Bam shows up to ease drop.

Vladimir Koslov defeated Stevie Richards

As soon as I saw Stevie Richards, I knew there was going to be a squash coming up. Koslov comes in there and Foley is correct, Koslov is NOT tested in the ring and much like Matt Morgan on TNA he’s just squashing guys for no particular reason. He’s NOT Goldberg, so I don’t know why they keep pushing his streak.

Richards throws in more moves than most, but still manages to lose this one, as is standard when building up a monster heel.

Koslov squashes Richards in a no surprise match up, and this wrestling fan is getting tired of this stupid continuation. Koslov takes a lot of punishment, I give it that, but eventually just floors Richards with a head butt. One of the worst moves in WWE history.

The Great Khali defeated Mr. Kennedy, Umaga, Jeff Hardy, Big Show, and MVP

The last three participants made this really interesting for me. Jeff Hardy, Khali and Big Show were left. Hardy got a major push cause he pushed out Big Show somehow, and he had to try and wrestle Khali, but it looked grim for a minute there. Hardy kept fighting off Khali, but Khali kept pushing his weight around. Khali nearly crushed Hardy with a HUGE chop to the head, and then threw him out. Khali looked genuinely annoyed for some reason, and he looked somewhat stunned by Hardy’s offense. I can’t believe how this all turned out.



Khali will face Triple H for the world title at Summerslam. Hardy put on a great show, everyone did really, and the last two didn’t really make sense to me, but we’re going to get Triple H vs. Khali, that’s going to be great! Remember when Big Show was The Giant in WCW? He rolled through the main event talent like crazy ppv after ppv, no one could beat him, well maybe WWE is taking a cue from WCW of old. Maybe Khali will be unstoppable, until the Undertaker comes back to defeat him in a casket match or something.

Post Match:

Triple H comes to ringside, and stares up the Great Khali. Triple H looks ridiculously small compared the giant Khali. Nothing happens here, as they just stare each other into leaving.

R-Truh (K QWIK, Ron The Truth Killings) promo is shown. He’s looking good, that’s for sure.

Michelle McCool defeated Maryese

McCool somehow pulled of this victory, but it was a boring match. Maryese isn’t yet ready to go for a full match, and this one just seemed forced to me. The match wasn’t too long, and really didn’t have a whole lot of high spots. The ending came with some sort of leg lock looking thing, although it isolated the heel of some kind. I don’t know, this match sucked.

Backstage Segment 3:

Vickie Guerrero finally arrives, and Bam shows up. Bam tries to tell Chavo what Edge was up to earlier, but he is interrupted, and we get to commercial.

Backstage Segment 4:

Edge says he’s going to apologize, Bam runs to go tell Vickie.

Pre-Match

Kendrick talks on the mic, J.R says that Kendrick is like the late Brian Pillman…I don’t know about all that.

Brian Kendrick w/ Ezekiel defeated Shannon Moore

Everytime I see Shannon Moore, I can’t help but wonder how in the world he manages to stay on the payroll. Not so much cause he sucks, but because I could have sworn he was on ECW and/or TNA in recent memory. Oh well. Moore, basically got squashed by Kendrick, and while I think Shannon Moore is good, the WWE didn’t give him a chance to win this match up. Kendrick is good, but not great yet, he needs a challenge to prove himself. This was a standard cruiserweight match up, nothing too crazy, some missed spots here and there, but overall a standard affair with no crowd participation. Brian Kendrick wins with his move, but I’m not sure what it’s called…oh well. It’s sliced bread number 2 no? J.R said that it’s now something else, but I wasn’t paying too much attention.

Backstage Segment 5:

Vickie and Chavo are talking backstage, when Bam interrupts. Bam mixes up Edge’s message and says that Edge will be in the ring to apologize or something. Vickie shakes her head no, and we fade to commercial.

Final In Ring Segment:

Edge is out in the ring alone, ready to call out Vickie Guerrero. The fans boo the crap out of him. I'm surprised that they don't say more "what?". Undertaker chants try to start up, but the crowd quiets down a little. He then asks for Vickie to come out.

Vickie comes out to ring side. The boo's start pouring in as Edge and her are in the ring. This is ridiculous if you ask me.

Edge tries to apologize. He blames the wedding planner for the mistakes, and he claims that the video didn't show that he was taken advantage of.



Vickie reinstates the Undertaker, and announces a Hell in the Cell match up for Summerslam with Undertaker and Edge! The show fades with Edge looking really scared of the Undertaker.

This edition of Smackdown was somewhat upsetting at the end. Seriously, why did the WWE go with this story line as the main event? I was really upset that they didn't have solid wrestling at the end. Wasn't the WWE going to plan less stunts and drama? Oh wait...less wrestling and more drama equals a PG rating? I don't know. The end of Smackdown really made this show sink, regardless of that great match up early on in the show.

The tag division looks weak again, but I'm sure they are setting up something for later. I can't stand the Festus in ring scenarios, but I guess I have to just deal with them.

Koslov's streak is lame.

MVP on the mic was great, and only Santino can probably match his wits.

I thought for sure Hardy was going to get a major push, but instead Khali was great, and I want to see that match up at Summerslam. I don't know if Triple H can pull off a clean win over Khali. I'm not sure what's going to go down, but it's going to set up something great, I'm sure.

Shelton Benjamin is looking great. I am glad to see that he's getting a push, even if it is minor.

Squashing the cruiserweights on WWE television is stupid to me. I really wish that they would bring back the cruiserweight title and that they would really allow the smaller guys to get a chance. WCW did so great back in the day, TNA is allowing more small guys to get a shot, and overall WWE could definitely do something great. However, it's not happening anytime soon, as the WWE continues to make bus loads of cash on the existing product. Why change things up if you're making so much money right?



The reinstatement of the Undertaker on Smackdown was a bit odd to me. I kept reading that HHH didn't like Undertaker and they couldn't be on the same show because of their past dealings. I do recall Undertaker beating Triple H at Wrestlemana X7. The Undertaker will most likely be dominant until it sets up the inevitable Triple H vs. Undertaker match where Undertaker finally loses. Edge and Undertaker at Summerslam is going to be interesting, and Hell in the Cell? All I know is that someone better fall off the top of that cage, otherwise it's going to be lackluster. Foley made that match famous, and even Shawn Michaels took a nice fall.

The divas belt looks cheesy, and the divas are not improving. Give me the KNOCKOUTS any day in comparison to the stupid looking, cookie cutter divas.

This week Smackdown was stronger than last week, but it's not that great. Tna, to me, was better, and ECW is looking stronger than all the shows.

WWE Smackdown 7/11/2008 Edge’s Revenge

Another great opening for Smackdown ruined by talking.

In Ring Segment:

Edge opens up the show. Edge talks about how he only liked Vickie to get ahead. He said he’s going to prove that he’s the greatest. He rants and raves, then Vickie comes out and tells him he has to face The Big Show. Then Vickie turns off Edge’s mic, and the segment ends.

Lame. I want more wrestling! Edge looks awesome though, he’s genuinely upset out there, and this can only mean good things.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Matt Hardy (U.S Champion)

This match was a great opening match up, and while it wasn’t for the U.S Title, Benjamin put on a real clinic. He wound up putting away Hardy in a shocker of a finish. Benjamin getting a push? This could be a great new thing, but I don’t think he’s going to get the title any time soon, unless he’s worked on his mic skills.

The match was really cool though. Had some high spots, landed a few standard moves, and right when you thought Hardy was going to get things on his side, Benjamin drops him.

Backstage Segment:

The Edgekins talk to Vickie, and tell her that she doesn’t deserve what she’s been getting. They ask for a match against Biscuits and Gravy.

Kennedy defeated Domino

Domino still employed by WWE? Now that’s a shocker. This match might as well have been a squash, as Kennedy knocked Domino out with his finisher. Not much of a wrestling match. Like I said, it was a squash. The Mic check is a great finisher, if you ask me.

MVP gets out of the broadcast booth, and distracts him, only for Umaga to come out and take out Kennedy with a kick and the Samoan spike! MVP looks on, laughing at what has just transpired.

Backstage segment:

Chavo Guerrero talks to Edge about how Vickie shouldn’t have done what she did, and claims he is going to solve Edge’s problems with Vickie. He says that he and Edge are like brothers. Hilarious, hilarious indeed.

Is Edge turning Face now?

Backstage segment:

Chavo interrupts Vickie. He then talks to Vickie on behalf of Edge, but not what he told Edge. He talks bad about Edge, and talks about how they are real family and not Edge. He stresses the term Family a lot and says that he is on her side.

Vickie tells Chavo to cut the crap and that she knows what’s up. She says that Chavo will face Triple H later on in the show.

John Morrison & The Miz vs. Finlay & Hornswoggle

Didn’t they already have this match at a pay per view? Man, I’m glad I didn’t pay for it, because here is the same exact match up on free television! The normal Finlay & Little Guy match happens here, embarrassing the tag team champions.

Triple H defeated Chavo Guerrero

This was nothing more than another glorified squash match. This match was a throwaway. Chavo just gets worked, and gets little offense in. Did anyone really think that Triple H would lose this match? This is just sad.

Natalya & Maryse defeated Cherry & Michelle McCool

Another squash match, and I wonder if Jim Ross is pulling some strings or something. These matches are really short. Natalya and Maryse dominated this match, and it ended with a Sharpshooter. It didn’t take long to win. Then Natalya attacked Michelle McCool.

The divas are trying really hard, but come on…they are nothing compared to the Knockouts, that’s for sure.

Biscuits and Gravy defeated Ryder and Hawkins

This was another horrible match. The Edge wannabe’s get counted out on purpose then beat down Jesse. Then Jesse goes out of the ring and hits the bell, and Festus beats the crap out of the two Edgekins and we get a horrible finish. This match sucked. Smackdown is beginning to suck.

Vladamir Koslov defeated Stevie Richards

Look at this! Another Koslov win, and another squash match. Smackdown was doing quite well and then totally started to be bad. Richards is still employed? Why? This match sucked, I wanted to go to sleep. There’s no reason to watch Smackdown anymore…if they are going to keep this horrible squash scenario up.

Backstage segment:

The Edgekins, Chavo, and Edge are all arguing backstage about Vickie Guerrero. Edge tries to calms everyone down and they end up arguing some more. Vickie interrupts and says that if anyone tries to help Edge, they would be fired. And if Edge doesn’t go out there and fight, he’ll get fired too.

The Big Show vs. Edge (No DQ) Ended in a No Contest

The Big Show totally killed Edge. Edge tried his best, but Show just threw the much smaller Edge and mopped up. Vickie Guerrero stopped the match, and all was well and hopefully for everyone who cares…the Wedding is back on.

Mr. Kennedy def. Domino

Natalya & Maryse def. Michelle McCool & Cherry
Jesse & Festus def. Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder (Count-out)
Vladimir Kozlov def. Stevie Richards
Edge vs. Big Show (No Contest)

This edition of Smackdown was horrible. I wasn't even that tired and I just knew that this one was not that good. There was a lot of squash matches, and a lot of fluff. Jim Ross and Foley are doing great together, and Jim Ross really makes Foley turn up the juice. If you missed this edition of Smackdown, don't worry, nothing worthwhile happened. This edition was probably one of the worst editions of Smackdown that I've seen in a long time.
