Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay
CM Punk defeated John Morrison

The Hart Dynasty defeated Jeff Hardy
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 8/14/09 Review
CM Punk opened up the show, and his new shirt is badass! Now that’s a shirt! I love that thing, if you saw it, you know! Punk got on the mic and delivered another one of his heel speeches. Teddy Long came out and interrupted Cm Punk. Jeff Hardy came down and talked some more, and that was that.
Dolph Ziggler defeated Finlay
Dolph Ziggler and Finlay put on a halfway decent match. Ziggler took some punishment, and wasn’t able to counter Finlay’s overt style, but was in fact able to get a few shots in, including a running kick to the corner of the ring, to lead us to commercial break. Upon returning from the break, Dolph Ziggler was showcasing how intelligent Ziggler is in regards to his abilities. He was playing the more technical wrestler role here, while Finlay was having a hard time managing reversals. Finlay’s overt strong style, complimented Ziggler’s attempts for technical counters and heavier impact moves. Mike Knox came to ring side, and was watching outside the ring, meanwhile the two mid carders were putting on a good match up. Ziggler, continued to take punishment towards the end of this match up, with Finlay hitting hard shots to the face, and eventually tossing Ziggler outside of the ring, right in front of Mike Knox. As the two men went back to the ring, Knox hit Finlay, and Ziggler capitalized winning this match and moving forward in his quest to solidify his wrestling skills.
Post match Mike Knox attacked Finlay and pummeled him outside of the ring.
CM Punk defeated John Morrison
Here we go, Cm Punk vs Morrison three, and this time Punk was starting things out solid. The match started to get a little fast paced, and of course we had to go commercial break. After we came back from Break, the two were locked into Punk’s more technical style, forcing Morrison to stay grounded instead of hitting his fast paced offense. Punk was definitely trying to tire out Morrison so that he couldn’t hit his finisher, and more. However, Morrison kept finding ways to wiggle out of headlocks, and stretches, causing Punk to show a little frustration over this match up. Punk couldn’t hit his GTS, trying twice to get Morrison down for the count. Morrison nearly put away Punk twice, nearly hitting his Starship Pain, but it wasn’t to be had, as Punk fought back hard, and eventually hit the GTS to get the pinfall victory, finally defeating Morrison. This gets match of the week for wrestling, that’s for sure. This was a good overall match up, and Punk really proved that he’s not just a paper champion or a midcarder on his way down. Morrison also was impressive, but was two steps behind Punk at the end, and Punk made sure to capitalize, making this match a good entertaining bout.
Melina defeated Layla
Layla was giving a lot of pain to Melina. Melina, being very flexible, seemed to take a lot of pretzel like positions at the hands of Layla. Layla looked like she was improving nicely, but it was evident that she wasn’t quite ready for the big time, showcasing uneasy moments and second guessing her moves. Melina was definitely a better wrestler in this match, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot as Melina’s screams and random offense did not make any sense and was done with a slow movement that really took me out of the match up. There was also several botched moves, and misses that were just too obvious to ignore. While Melina is getting better, she just isn’t ready to carry a newcomer like Layla in this match and it showed as the match went on longer. Melina screaming was annoying as hell too, and after the match was over, I was so glad to finally get past the mandatory divas match up. I hate the wwe divas, they can’t wrestle, they are just stupid to me. I’d rather watch the Knockouts, at least they actually have good timing at times.
The Big Show defeated JTG
The Big Show dominated this match up against JTG to the point that this match wasn’t too great. I mean, The Big Show doesn’t have to job out to JTG, but it wasn’t that entertaining to me. Meanwhile the wife was yelling at me because of the bathroom being dirty, so maybe it was her nagging that made me not like this match.
The Hart Dynasty defeated Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy seemed to be getting punished in this match. Word on the street is that Hardy isn’t going to finish out the year with WWE and hasn’t renewed his contract, so is this punishment? I had to wonder as Hardy had to fight both members of the Hart Dynasty in this match up, and was getting worked over through out this match up. It was actually kind of a let down overall with Hardy getting beat up at every moment, and even DH Smith looked good, with Hardy slowing down to half speed and letting DH catch up, when he would normally look slow and uneasy. For once, DH Smith was looking like a shade of his father, but only because Hardy played up his injury. Tyson Kidd was not on top of his game, making rookie mistakes that would make Bret Hart shake his head in disbelief. Tyson Kidd eventually got his bearings and with a little help of DH Smith pinned the champion clean, and this thing was over.
Post match CM Punk came down to the ring to pick the bones of Jeff Hardy. He was fighting Hardy, pummeling him with elbows until John Morrison ran down for the safe, hitting everyone that was moving in the ring, and causing the fans to react positively to the rising star. Cm Punk turned this around with the equalizer; a steel chair. He then wrapped Hardy’s neck into a chair, and was ready to break Hardy’s neck, but out ran down Matt Hardy and was fighting like crazy against PUNK! This got great cheers, and Morrison and Matt Hardy, one time enemies, were cleaning up the mess and the crowd was loving it. I wasn’t so sure just yet, but it was cool to see that he helped out.
The night ended with the Hardy Boys reuniting in the ring.
The camera’s went backstage and there was Vince McMahon.
Cm Punk and The Hart Dynasty will face The Hardy’s and John Morrison next week. Vince McMahon than just left and it looked like Teddy Long might be losing his job sooner than later.

TNA Impact 8/13/09 Results
Chrsty Hemme defeated Sojourner Bolt
Hernandez defeated Doug Williams
Erik Young & Sheik Abdul Bashir defeated Jesse Neil & Rhino
ODB & Tara defeated Awesome Kong & Angelina Love
Scott Steiner defeated Brother Ray in a no dq match
Matt Morgan defeated Aj Styles
TNA Impact 8/13/09 Review
We opened up with a match right away, which could spell disaster, since it was a knockouts match.
Chrsty Hemme defeated Sojourner Bolt
This match was awkward, Hemme was making her return to the ring after a long absence, and she showed some Ring Rust during this match up. Bolt was definitely in control overall, and she was wild in ring, looking sloppy in regards to her execution of her moves. The worst though, was a botched back body drop that had Bolt land on her neck! It looked horrible, and it was obvious that she was loopy afterwards. Christ Hemme won with a Fire Crotch Guillotine for the three count. This was one of the sloppiest women’s match I’ve ever seen.
Hernandez defeated Doug Williams
Hernandez one again was trying to prove that he was a solid single’s wrester, much like many other former tag team specialists. He was in full control early on, hitting some major high spots, and heavy hitting moves. The best of course was his delayed vertical suplex, which had Williams down and out. Williams came back for a few moments, but it wasn’t long, as Super Mex hit the sit out Powerbomb and won the match.
Post match the British Invasion attacked, and Hernandez was in control until Big Rob hit him in the face with a steel brief case.
Erik Young & Sheik Abdul Bashir defeated Jesse Neil & Rhino
TNA is notorious for making matches that make no sense, and are in no way indicative of a further plot point or storyline. That’s ok, if the matches are great, as WWF did in the old days. These mash up tag matches with guys that aren’t on tv often, is NOT something that I’m a fan of. When’s the last time we saw Jesse Neil and Rhino? Seriously, we haven’t seen these two in so long, that at this point I don’t care about them, and they perform like jobbers. With that said, Erik Young and Bashir were putting the boots to Neil and were in full control for the majority of the match. In fact, Rhino was never tagged into this match, and lost the match for his team. Neil is NOT advancing, much like Maven in WWE. This match sucked. I guess Rhino and Neil might split sooner than later. Especially since Rhino gored Neil.
ODB & Tara defeated Awesome Kong & Angelina Love
This match wasn’t that ood opening up, but then the heat got turned on. ODB and Tara went to the top rope, and this spelled disaster. ODB jumped off and was caught by Awesome Kong and others. Tara leaped of thee to top and The Beautiful People didn’t catch her as she landed, and I kid you not, Head first into the concrete floor! Tara was clutching her head as we went to commercial break, and it looked terrible. I’m not sure if she’s going to be ok or not, but she really took a hit to the floor, face first off the top rope! Cody Deaner at one point was ready to punch Awesome Kong, but instead he kissed Awesome Kong! Kong then brought him into the ring and received The Awesome Bomb! Immediately afterwards, Tara rolled up Awesome Kong and won this match for her team. This match was boring, but Tara’s fall was great.
Scott Steiner defeated Brother Ray in a no dq match
These two put on an ok match up. Steiner is still carrying too much weight, and it showed as the match went on. He opened up fast, trying really hard to bump, but as ray put on some heavier offense, he started to slow down and it was obvious he was being out wrestled by what seems like a “fatter” man. Booker T and Brother Devon got involved, then the British Invasion ran down to distract Team 3D and that’s when Steiner threw Brother Ray through a table and pinned him for the win. This match was terrible, but not the worst I’ve seen ever.
Mick Foley and Kevin Nash had a contract signing, and I was waiting for this thin to turn south, it never happened. Foley and Nash had the most boring contract signing ever, with neither man fighting the other or breaking the table. The whole purpose of this signing was to waste my time. Thanks TNA, for ruining things for me, You guys are really a joke at this point.
Matt Morgan defeated Aj Styles
I’ve already seen this match twice, and each time it wasn’t half bad. This one though? This match just seemed forced at times, with Aj purposely giving a half step to Matt Morgan. Was he saving energy? I’m not sure, but Aj Styles spent most of this match getting worked over by Matt Morgan, and Morgan for once looked completely dominant. No longer is he the stuttering giant from WWE, he was pummeling Styles with heavy moves, including a picture perfect fallaway slam, which brought forth shades of Scott Hall aka Razor Ramon! Morgan made a mistake, and Styles capitalized. Morgan even tried to go to the top rope, but was fought tooth and nail by Styles. Morgan got hit with a huge Pele, and fell off the middle rope, which was actually a cool move, but Styles could not win. After a springboard went awry, Styles got nailed in the face with the Carbon Footprint and pinned Styles! Morgan will go on to face Angle and Sting in the title match.
Post match, The Main Event Mafia came down to celebrate.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Zack Ryder
Vladimir Kozlov defeated Jobber
Yoshi Tatsu defeated Paul Burchill via disqualification
Tyler Reks defeated Tom James (jobber)
William Regal defeated Tommy Dreamer
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.

WWE Monday Night Raw 8/10/09 Results
Gail Kim defeated Kelly, Beth Phoenix, and Alicia Fox
Jack Swagger defeated Evan Bourne
Canadian Kid defeated Eugene
The Big Show defeated Randy Orton via countout
MVP The Masterpiece defeated Chris Masters
Legacy defeated Mark Henry and Hornswoggle
John Cena vs Chris Jericho No Contest
WWE Monday Night Raw 8/10/09 Review
The show is in Calgary, Bret Hart country! The crowd usually cheers the heels, but not tonight, they were all Cena. Orton started the show ranting and raving, until John Cena showed up and started yelling at Orton, telling him he sucks etc. Things were about to jump off…then out came the Tag Champs.
The crowd blew up for Jericho, easily the biggest pop heard on television, easily.
Gail Kim defeated Kelly, Beth Phoenix, and Alicia Fox
The divas had a four way match and overall it wasn’t half bad. The match had some heavy moves, specifically from Beth Phoenix and Gail Kim. In fact, those were the only two wrestlers that actually can turn on the wrestling juice, so to speak. I admit, I’m not fan, but Kim and Phoenix did put on some good points and made this match, albeit short, passable. I liked it, but only because it didn’t suck as bad as last week’s diva match.
Sergeant Slaughter came out to make fun of Canadians, and heel it up, I guess. I didn’t care, I was too busy writing a comment on newser about how Obama isn’t Hitler…yeah, I’m tired, I don’t mind the Joker Socialism thing, that’s clever, but for a major news source to post an article about him being Hitler? Come on! I didn’t vote for him, but whatever.
Jack Swagger defeated Evan Bourne
We get a rematch, I don’t know why, Swagger already squashed at one point and yes Bourne has beaten Swagger, but I for one didn’t want to really watch this. Evan Bourne had a few moments, he was flying high trying to get things done, but it was Swagger who was on point tonight, with some major pain for Evan Bourne including dropping him with his finisher. Swagger once again proves that he can be the next big thing, if he can overcome that lisp, that’s all I’m saying.
Triple H was in Texas trying to find Shawn Michaels. He found Shawn Michaels flipping burgers at a diner. Yep.
Canadian Kid defeated Eugene
Eugene came out and defeated some random jobber in a Canadian mask, it was terrible; the match was a contract on a pole match, sadly. Eugene managed to put up a good fight, but he didn’t grab the contract, it was Calgary Kid that got the contract from the pole!
Calgary Kid then pulled his mask off to reveal that it was none other than THE MIZ!
The Miz is back in another WWE Loophole, whatever.
The Big Show defeated Randy Orton via countout
The Big Show and Randy Orton put on a match, mainly Big Show was pummeling Randy Orton, with Orton cowering on the bottom rope trying to make it through this match without having to fight Big Show one on one. It was Big Show that was looking like the champion in this one, confident and easily winning this match. At one point Orton was trying to get counted out, and I thought for sure he’d run back to the ring, but nope, he let himself get counted out and The Big Show wins…Orton runs away like a chump.
MVP The Masterpiece defeated Chris Masters
This match wasn’t that great, but it did allow Chris Masters to show that he’s back on his game. However, I did notice he’s still slow, painfully slow at times, and relying heavily on a rest holds. MVP was just trying to hold onto this match, without getting too worn out, and managed a nice overhead suplex with release, and bounced his way through to a comeback from the devastating rest holds of Masters. MVP hit the Playmaker and this thing was all over. Masters is done, in my book, he sucks and is slow; MVP hitting the Playmaker was the best thing to happen in this match.
Post match Chris Masters hit the Masterlock while Swagger yelled at MVP.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels have a great skit mid way through with Triple H joining Shawn flipping burgers. Then amidst getting yelled at by his Boss at work, Shawn superkicks his boss! YES! Then he superkicks a little girl! I wish I could do that at my job…I hate my job…I thought this site would pay some bills…it hasn’t…I’m broke…man I wish I had a friend like Triple H to get scripted into my life and get me a lot of money…alas…it’s not to be.
Sgt Slaughter came out and then came on the Bret Hart music, the arena went nuts, I went nuts, I read earlier that Hart might be in Calgary tonight, and NOPE it was Duggan that came out. I got swerved…lame.
Legacy defeated Mark Henry and Hornswoggle
Legacy had a hard time with Mark Henry, as the big man was in full control of this match up. However, the little guy kept wanting into the match, but he missed the splash and Dibiase hit his DreamStreet finisher on Hornswoggle, winning the match. It was sad.
Next week’s GM is going to be Freddie Prinze Jr…..yep.
John Cena vs Chris Jericho No Contest
Chris Jericho was supposed to be the fan favorite here, and for the most part he was. This match was all Jericho, hitting most of his moves, getting out of the way in time, and making quick and easy work of John Cena’s comebacks. I wish all wrestlers had the timing of Jericho, it would make for a far better wrestling experience, but just like Highlander, there can only be one! Jericho had the Walls of Jericho in, but Cena reversed it, and that’s when Orton ran down and to distract Jericho, the bell range signaling the match is over, and Jericho hit the Codebreaker. Too little too late, and Jericho attacked Orton, only to get thrown out of the ring!
Big Show ran down and landed a Chokeslam on Orton!
Big show & Chris Jericho vs John Cena & Randy Orton will be next week’s featured match.
The end of the night was met with mixed emotions by me, Orton hit the RKO at the exact same time John Cena was hitting the Attitude Adjustment! Shades of the Diamond Cutter + Fireman’s Carry from Bam Bam Bigelow and DDP from their WCW title run was heard around the room!
Gail Kim defeated Kelly, Beth Phoenix, and Alicia Fox

I wish all wrestlers had the timing of Jericho, it would make for a far better wrestling experience, but just like Highlander, there can only be one! Jericho had the Walls of Jericho in, but Cena reversed it, and that’s when Orton ran down and to distract Jericho, the bell range signaling the match is over, and Jericho hit the Codebreaker. Too little too late, and Jericho attacked Orton, only to get thrown out of the ring!
Big Show ran down and landed a Chokeslam on Orton!
Big show & Chris Jericho vs John Cena & Randy Orton will be next week’s featured match.
The end of the night was met with mixed emotions by me, Orton hit the RKO at the exact same time John Cena was hitting the Attitude Adjustment! Shades of the Diamond Cutter + Fireman’s Carry from Bam Bam Bigelow and DDP from their WCW title run was heard around the room!
