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!

Tna Impact 8/6/09 Review
TNA opened up with a flashback of Erik Young and Kurt Angle arriving at the arena.
The show officially opened and of course it was Kurt Angle and the main event mafia in ring babbling about random crap. It wasn’t exactly the most thrilling of things, and to be honest, it was quite boring to me. Kurt Angle comes out and whines every single week and this wasn’t any different. Kurt Angle announces that he’s struck a deal with the British Invasion.
This is the WORST thing that could happen. The Main Event Mafia is now N.W.O 2009! That’s right, the N.W.O and the Main Event Mafia is exactly the same now. Too many members, so boring, and all older guys that should be letting the young guys in; I wanted to just quit watching TNA at this point, I am so sick of this N.W.O cloning, and I’m sure others are also tired…TNA is really blowing it, worse than WCW ever did.
Erik Young defeated Christopher Daniels
Christopher Daniels started this match fast, and Erik Young needed help from the outside in order to slow things down, however it was to no avail as Daniels leaped through the ropes and hit Young on the outside. However, the distraction caused Daniels to lose his focus and never really recovered. Sheik Abdul Bashir and Kiyoshi kept running into the match, distracting the ref, and really not helping Daniels stay on top of his game. Erik Young eventually picked up the victory after a nice looking piledriver. This match was ok at best, kind of standard, Daniels jobbing hurts, cause he has so much talent. I remember his feud with Samoa Joe for the x-division title, 4 star matches, but now? He’s jobbing, and that’s sad.
The British Invasion, Scott Steiner & Booker T defeated Beer Money & Team 3D
I swear one of the guys on the British Invasion is juicing hardcore. Other than that observation, I didn’t see this match as that great. Team 3D were starting this match with back and forth tags, good overall offense, and really putting forth effort in an otherwise overly crowded match up. The match eventually had a slight turn for the British guys, but it was short lived as Team 3D was controlling every aspect of this match up. That is until Erik Young, Bashir, and Kiyoshi came down. That prompted the Machine Guns and Daniels to run down to ringside, and this match was a complete cluster. Kevin Nash came down, and this was worse than WCW 2000, seriously this is a load of crap. Foley came out, and now there were bout 10 or 12 wrestlers down at ringside fighting and brawling, the match was apparently not thrown out at this point This seriously mirrored Nitro, and I really wanted to stop watching this, this is such a stupid show. TNA SUCKS! I HATED THIS! The match continued and Big Rob (the most juiced wrestler I’ve seen in a long time) pinned Robert Rude and that was that. This match sucked, I hated the way this turned out. This was seriously one of the lowest points in TNA history for me.
The show continued to focus on backstage brawls, antics and random crap that we saw in the failing days of N.W.O in WCW. It’s a shame that TNA is writing such terrible wrestling shows, because they had some potential in the past weeks. The whole roster was fighting each other, that’s it.
Sarita & Taylor Wilde defeated Alissa Flash & Traci Brooks
Alissa Flash once again shined in this match, despite Sarita’s offensive control early on. Flash is a well tuned wrestler, but more impressive was Sarita with a dazzling display of Lucha Libre style dives and top rope offense. Flash of course contrasted the style with hard mat wrestling against Taylor Wilde, showing off her skill set and strong style, which isn’t seen often in women’s wrestling. The weak link here was Traci Brooks, her large breasts were getting in the way of her wrestling, and she was obviously two steps slower than the other competitors in this match; she was moving half speed compared to the other three women in this match up. She also missed a lot of moves, and was botching things left and right. Sarita was the one that got the better of the women with a roll up and a nice array of Lucha Libre moves. I think Flash and Sarita are great wrestlers and not just divas. Traci Brooks, though, is a terrible wrestler.
There was an interview with Hernandez and Mike Tenay. It was kind of boring.
Matt Morgan defeated Aj Styles
Aj Styles beat Morgan last time, so I naturally knew that Matt Morgan would get his payback for this best of three series. Styles had a lot of speed in this match and while Morgan is a fast big man, he’s not faster than Styles and it painfully showed during this match up. Morgan used hiss strength to ground Sttyles though, and it was obvious that Morgan wasn’t going to just let Styles run circles around him. Morgan was ready for Styles every move and eventually hit the Hellevator and won with an impressive set of offensive. This was really good, considering the match was a little short. I guess seeing such a bad opening and first hour made this match seem better than it really was. Morgan is getting better, but I don’t think he can do it without being carried by a veteran like AJ Styles.
Sting defeated Brutus Magnus
Well, I was ready for bed, but apparently TNA wanted to throw one more match at us. I had to sit through yet another Sting match, and I'm not sure I was ready for it. The British Invasion was thrown out of ringside, so it was Sting solo with Brutus Magnus. Sting started this match with a clinic of old school wrestling. After many arm drags, hip tosses, and throws, Mangnus was thrown out of the ring to regroup and it was Sting that looked like the young buck rather than the veteran that he is. After a slight regrouping, Magnus was focusing on the legs of Sting and was really taking a page out of Bret Hart's book, with sole focus on the leg of Sting, setting up for a submission ending later, for sure. We cut to commercial and it was just a reversal as Sting cleaned up, put Magnus into the Scorpion Death Lock and made Brutus Magnus tap out with ease.
Post match The World Elite came down and tried to fight Sting, but Sting seemed to have most of this in control, until all 9 people attacked Sting. Once again, this was a reminder of NITRO with a TON of guys on one guy....sigh....Tna ruined this show. Lashley & Mick Foley ran down and fought off all comers, Lashley is now Goldberg 2009...TNA sucks, i'm sorry I'm going to bed...this was a terrible night of wrestling.
Oh and if you think I'm overly critical, get yourself the ending of this night of wrestling. 20+ guys in the ring beating up 3 guys. This was NWO all over again, it was so lame. Seriously, what a load of crap.

ECW on ScyFy 8/4/09 Results and Review Extreme Rules For A Change
ECW on ScyFy 8/4/09 Results
Ezekiel Jackson defeated Another Jobber
Shamus defeated Goldust
Christian defeated Tommy Dreamer in an Extreme Rules Match
ECW on ScyFy 8/5/09 Review
The Abraham Washington show started the show, and with all the jokes hitting a deadpan snore, out came Zack Ryder. Ryder made fun of Shelton Benjamin, and eventually he came out. Benjamin, Ryder, and Washington were now on the stage on the mic. The two ended up doing a singing contest? Such a lame opening, I’m tired. Then, amidst a rendition of “Only Want to be With You” by Shelton Benjamin, Zack Ryder attacked from behind, and then Shelton rushed him, throwing him through the couch, and I was finally marking out! Yes! There should be more fights, like this stuff.
Ezekiel Jackson defeated Another Jobber
This wasn’t a match. Ezekiel Jackson just mopped up a jobber, with incredible ease.
Post match Kozlov came down, stared down Ezekiel than dropped the jobber for good measure.
Shamus defeated Goldust
Goldust has been getting a lot more screen time on ecw and it’s interesting to say the least. He’s been looking in shape, and nearly in his prime. This math, however, had Shamus looking good including picking up a victory seemingly out of nowhere! Goldust was dominant early on, but Shamus ended up getting the upper hand, winning the match.
Post match, Goldust attacked Shamus.
Christian defeated Tommy Dreamer in an Extreme Rules Match
This match was a throwback to the old ECW days, in which the style of the match spilled onto the floor with the use of plunder being top priority. The two exchanged hitting each other with anything that wasn’t bolted down to the floor, and this favored Tommy Dreamer as he was the one that was getting the upper hand, and for once didn’t look winded right away. After a commercial break the tables had turned and Christian was looking dominant for once, and he was just punishing Dreamer with a kendo stick, a trash can lid, and anything else at ringside. This match took an interesting route towards the end, with Tommy Dreamer reversing some of the major offense that Christian usually gives. At this point this was easily the longest match on ECW in a long time. Christian ran at Tommy Dreamer with a car door, only to get knocked nearly out on a reversal. Tommy Dreamer then got hit with The Killswitch on a car door to lose to Christian! A car door folks…this match was extreme, and Christian retains the title!

WWE Monday Night Raw 8/3/09 Results and Review Jeremy Piven Hosts
WWE Monday Night Raw 8/3/09 Results
Jack Swagger defeated Evan Bourne
Mickie James & Gail Kim defeated Beth Phoenix & Jillian
Legacy defeated Triple H
Carlito defeated Primo
Mark Henry defeated Chavo Guerrero
Kofi Kingston defeated The Big Show by Disqualification
John Cena defeated The Miz in a lumberjack match
WWE Monday Night Raw 8/3/09 Review
The show started off with Jeremy Piven being called to the ring. He brought in the Asian guy from The Hangover, and that was about it. The two were just on the mic, trying to get the crowd into the night. The Miz came out and tried to get into Piven’s face, and he just worked the crowd against Miz. The Miz called out John Cena, Cena came down, the Asian dude (The Doctor) was going nuts, the crowd was going nuts, and they just kept pimping out the crap of “The Goods”. Piven sets up John Cena vs The Miz in a lumber jack match. The match got more stipulations, including a loser leaves Raw clause. Well, just The Miz.
Jack Swagger defeated Evan Bourne
Evan Bourne took on Jack Swagger in this match, and there was a distinct size advantage for Jack Swagger. This was a complete thrashing of Evan Bourne, he took control of the match early, didn’t let up and pummeled Evan Bourne, delivered his Gut Wrench powerbomb and defeated Evan Bourne with ease. MVP came out for the save, but it was too late.
Mickie James & Gail Kim defeated Beth Phoenix & Jillian
Here you have your standard WWE Divas match, with one exception, Beth Phoenix is gaining a little weight. The majority of the Match Beth Phoenix was working like she would be fired if she didn’t look dominant, and she really put the boots to her opponents. She’s got game, and she showed it off by pinning Gail Kim, and yet again I wonder why Gail Kim even came back to the WWE, all she’s been doing is getting worked and pinned by all the divas. The Beth Bomb was nice, Kim hasn’t done anything good in WWE since arriving, sadly.
Legacy defeated Triple H
There’s no way Triple H should win this match. It’s a handicap match from an experienced tag team. I hate when the good guy can trump tag teams in handicap matches, it makes the team look so much weaker. So what happened here? I’m not surprised, Triple H took a beating for a short while, but then came back like he was Thor, and we see why everyone hates Triple H right now. The young guys looked like they were on a road to losing again to Triple H, even after Ted Dibiase hit Dreamstreet. Cody was waiting for Triple H to get up, and hit Crossroads, and with a major surprise to me, WON! That’s right, Triple H loses! FINALLY! I have to eat my words, Triple H DID NOT beat Legacy, haha, FINALLY! Legacy defeats Triple H, I kid you not!
Post match, Triple H started crying about how he used to be good at gang war fare. He said he was going to start up a new faction. He even made fun of Ric Flair and Batista, which were cheap shots.
Carlito defeated Primo
The WWE loves to split up tag teams, they also love putting relatives, or former partners in matches against each other. So once again, we get to see a former tag team that split, face each other out of “jealousy”. I get so tired of this cycle of tag teams in the WWE, and there’s nothing we can do about it. This match, by all means, was ok, with Primo just as fast as Carlito, and the two exchanging moves, with Carlito looking to be ahead in the early goings of the match up. He would eventually get the upper hand completely, hitting the Back Stabber and pinning Primo, winning this match up, and hopefully ending this feud of sorts.
Mark Henry defeated Chavo Guerrero
Once again, the WWE squashes Chavo Guerero. Forget his legacy, he sucks, at least that’s what the WWE must think. Mark Henry basically obliterated Chavo, and afterwards Hornswoggle came in and landed a top rope splash.
Even weirder, Mark Henry and Hornswoggle danced in ring, and the crowd was cheering. I am not sure why Chavo doesn’t just quit, he’s not even relevant anymore. Mark Henry, on the other hand, is getting a full face push. I don’t hate the guy, but eh, whatever, Henry is what he is, the World’s Strongest Man.
Kofi Kingston defeated The Big Show by Disqualification
Kofi had some good offense early on, bullying Kofi Kingston. He was hitting hard, but it wasn’t going to happen as Big Show turned things around and wouldn’t stop hitting Kofi. This led to the disqualification, and another throwaway match up. There wasn’t much more to this match up.
Backstage Triple H was trying to call, what I assume was Shawn Michaels, but it wasn’t happening. It was so weird.
John Cena defeated The Miz in a lumber jack match
This match was basically, John Cena and The Miz, with every heel on the outside. Including Piven, serving as a Lumberjack. The Miz was hitting every move he had in his arsenal, and was definitely looking like he was poised to take this match, so that he wouldn’t lose his spot on Raw. Cena eventually got thrown to the outside and was just getting pummeled by the lumberjacks, none of which were any of his allies. He ws just being taken advantage of, and as the match continued it was John Cena that got the pin, and The Miz is gone!
Post match, things got really exciting, Jeremy Piven climbed the top rope and went for a Cross Body Block on John Cena! Cena caught him, and was used as a battering ram, Dr Ken then hit Cena with his cane, and it was hilarious. Cena then threw Doctor Ken onto a bunch of guys, and it was all over.
Not a great show, not the worst show I've seen.
Next week, SGT. Slaughter is going to be the guest Host!

Once again, the WWE squashes Chavo Guerero. Forget his legacy, he sucks, at least that’s what the WWE must think. Mark Henry basically obliterated Chavo, and afterwards Hornswoggle came in and landed a top rope splash.
Even weirder, Mark Henry and Hornswoggle danced in ring, and the crowd was cheering. I am not sure why Chavo doesn’t just quit, he’s not even relevant anymore. Mark Henry, on the other hand, is getting a full face push. I don’t hate the guy, but eh, whatever, Henry is what he is, the World’s Strongest Man.
Kofi Kingston defeated The Big Show by Disqualification
Kofi had some good offense early on, bullying Kofi Kingston. He was hitting hard, but it wasn’t going to happen as Big Show turned things around and wouldn’t stop hitting Kofi. This led to the disqualification, and another throwaway match up. There wasn’t much more to this match up.
Backstage Triple H was trying to call, what I assume was Shawn Michaels, but it wasn’t happening. It was so weird.
John Cena defeated The Miz in a lumber jack match
This match was basically, John Cena and The Miz, with every heel on the outside. Including Piven, serving as a Lumberjack. The Miz was hitting every move he had in his arsenal, and was definitely looking like he was poised to take this match, so that he wouldn’t lose his spot on Raw. Cena eventually got thrown to the outside and was just getting pummeled by the lumberjacks, none of which were any of his allies. He ws just being taken advantage of, and as the match continued it was John Cena that got the pin, and The Miz is gone!
Post match, things got really exciting, Jeremy Piven climbed the top rope and went for a Cross Body Block on John Cena! Cena caught him, and was used as a battering ram, Dr Ken then hit Cena with his cane, and it was hilarious. Cena then threw Doctor Ken onto a bunch of guys, and it was all over.
Not a great show, not the worst show I've seen.
Next week, SGT. Slaughter is going to be the guest Host!

Jeff Hardy defeated John Morrison
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7/31/09 Review
Jeff Hardy opened the show, with the Belt and the crowd roaring. He just gave the traditional, I’m high on the belt speech. Lame.
Cryme Tyme defeated The Hart Legacy
I still say that DH Smith is somewhat slow. Tyson Kidd is the speed of the team, and it showed, as he really took it to Shad in this match. In fact, JR even gave Kidd the nickname “Pitbull” that is usually reserved for Jamie Noble. It might not stick, but it was obvious that in his match, he was in top form against the former champions. JTG got tagged in, and it was actually getting good. Cryme Tyme looked like they were getting a second big push here in the WWE! After several near falls, Cryme Tyme got a #1 contender spot against the Champions at Summerslam. This match was fast paced, and not half bad.
Eve Torres and Melina defeated Michelle McCool and Layla
This math was hilarious. Your standard divas match, with the best wrestler nearly killing someone because they aren’t ready. Melina’s flippity floppy was interesting and took a lot of practice, I’m sure. That move was dang impressive. It was like a hurricanrana type flip into a pinning predicament? I don’t know, it was a weird move. I thought McCool’s team would win this one. But nope, upon the replay, it was simply a sunset flip over from a Widow’s peak position, not as impressive. This match wasn’t that great.
Rey Mysterio & Finlay defeated Dolph Ziggler & Mike Knox
This match was given some good time, considering the people involved. Knox and Ziggler worked really well as a team, and remained impressive in this match. Finlay took some major damage in the second part of this match, meanwhile Rey Mysterio was patiently waiting a tag. The heels were in perfect form, during the course of this match, playing up everything to the fullest, creating a good overall match up, despite Knox and Finlay not being main eventers or even upper mid card these days. Mysterio got the hot tag and was thwarted by a waiting Dolph Ziggler, but eventually was tagged in the face with a big kick. Mysterio had this thing won, but Knox thwarted the pinfall, and it was Ziggler and Finlay in ring towards the end, but they weren’t both legal men in ring, Mysterio hit a nice roll up and pinned Ziggler! A nice turn about match with good spots, and overall great style, despite two low carders and two high mid carders; I liked this match.
The Great Khali vs Charlie Haas no contest?
Charlie Haas has to be on his way out too, he hasn’t won a match in a long time. This match went nowhere, Kane interfered, Khali left the ring, no announcement was made, and we went to commercial break.
Jeff Hardy defeated John Morrison
This match was free, that was odd to me. These two could really go, and they did. For about thirty minutes they were exchanging rough hits, high spots, and great points to prove that they are worth their weight in the main event. The crowd was roaring, and each man was definitely getting great reversals during this match up. When one man would go for a signature move, the other would duck, roll, or just get out of the way, this is the smartest wrestling I’ve seen since Dolph Ziggler and Rey Mysterio at the ppv. Morrison had this match sewn up several times, it looked like he was going to win this thing with so many moves. From the kicks, to the reverse springboard kick off the middle rope, he seemed poised to take the belt so early. Hardy kept going to the top rope, missing several times, but late in the match he hit the Swanton Bomb, with the crowd roaring he went for the pin and it was to no avail! Morrison managed to kick out, and this match had the crowd reeling. When Morrison went for The Starship Pain, Hardy put his knees up, derailing Morrison’s hopes and eventually got the pin with the Twist of Fate setting up the massive three count. Great match, and for free? Yep.
Post Match C.M. Punk came out to congratulate Hardy. He raised his hand, and then got on the mic. He started talking then hit him with the MIC in the head, then threw him out of the ring and went on a full blown attack! Yes this is rad, finally a heel that doesn’t give a damn! Punk just made a believer out of me, assaulting Hardy with reckless abandon! Seriously, this has been the best Heel fight I’ve seen in a long time. Punk simply beat the hell out of Hardy for no apparent reason other than he doesn’t like him and that’s the goal of wrestling to me. Create feuds out of hatred for each other, and not just because of someone stealing their wife or something lame like that. Hardy beat the hell out of Hardy, it was great, Punk reminded me of Steve Austin, no, Kevin Sullivan, no Chris Benoit from 1996…I don’t know, he was out there and just putting the boots to Hardy with no care for himself or his opponent. I loved this ending.
