NXT 7/13/10 Results
Lucky Cannon & Mark Henry defeated The Miz & Alex Riley
The Nexus won a 20 Man Battle Royal
NXT 7/13/10 Review
NXT once again shows up on SyFy, and I'm already sick of it. Will we have Nexus part 2? Or will they be the good guy faction? I don't know...remember New World Order Wolf Pack? And LWO, and others. Whatever.
The show started with The Pros and the Nexus crew on the ramp. The Miz and his Riley were introduced and the two came down to ringside, and away we go.
Lucky Cannon & Mark Henry defeated The Miz & Alex Riley
Mark Henry essentially beat up Riley in this match. He was hitting Riley hard style, and was trying to force him to tag The Miz. Miz wouldn't tag in and was getting worked by Lucky and Mark Henry in this match up. I'm not sure if this was a planned spot, but Lucky Cannon went over the top rope and landed squarely on the Ring Steps face first! The Miz eventually got in and was beating up Cannon, trying to avoid a face off with Mark Henry. Henry got the win after The Miz was taken out on the outside of the ring. Henry then stalked Miz, and Miz ran away like a chump.
They had a weird talk show segment with Percy, his guest was MVP. Percy called out the rest of the rookies, and they were planning a Nexus beat down. Then out came the pros! I knew this was going to happen. Stryker came out and wanted to schedule a match up with an over the top rope battle royal to see who'd win.
Wade Barrett got on the mic, and said that the Nexus wanted to get involved.
The Nexus won a 20 Man Battle Royal
A Battle Royal started and both Season 1 of NXT (The Nexus) and Season 2 were involved with all the pro's. When anyone was eliminated the Nexus would beat them up and take them out. The Nexus eventually jumped into the ring and started to dominate. The match eventually wore down and the last one to be in ring for the WWE guys was Dashing Cody Rhodes.
Rhodes offered a hand of friendship to the Nexus guys and no one would shake his hand. The Nexus started to beat up Dashing Cody Rhodes and was eventually thrown out of the ring, leaving only the Nexus to win the 20 man battle royal.
Post match, the Nexus continued to attack the pros and things were not going well for them.
I like how this night of NXT went, but only because The Nexus is moving forward through the shows. I hope they end up going to Smackdown and doing this all over again.
Matt Stryker got into the ring and on the mic, and tried to talk to Wade Barrett. Mysteriously, Stryker got a microphone and interrupted Wade Barrett, and that was about it.
The show was nothing amazing, and I'm not sure why the fans were chanting USA, and Nexus were just standing in ring.

WWE Monday Night Raw 7/12/10 Review
The only thing that I cared about in the WWE offering of Raw is to NOT see another Super Cena match.
I don't know how adults felt when I was a kid and was cheering Randy Macho Man Savage, The British Bulldogs, The Killer Bees, The Hart Foundation, Andrew the Giant, Rowdy Piper and others. But I do know what I feel about John Cena kid fans, they're idiots. John Cena sucks. Come on, you know it, I know it, and everyone knows it, the latest incarnation of John Cena sucks. Cena cut a lame promo and I was too tired to write a full recap.
The Nexus guys came out to the ramp. Wade Barrett said that the Nexus will wait for later to beat up Cena.
Alicia Fox defeated Gail Kim
Alicia Fox is one of the worst diva's in a long time. Eve on the mic sucks too. Gail Kim is unfortunately the shining light of the division, but hasn't been allowed to prove it on the main shows as of late. This match had a few impact moves from Kim, and she strung together a few hits. The Scissors kick from Alicia Fox looks sick...not in a good way. This match sucked. I'm so sick of the divas.
The Usos defeated The Hart Dynasty
This is stupid. Why would they give this match away, when it's already book at the ppv? This match was ok at best, it was fast and showcased that the USOS are a serious threat. They of course, won the match after a big splash. It was just too easy for the USOS here. They'll most likely not win at the ppv.
Backstage Yoshi Tatsu got beat up by Nexus.
Ted Dibiase came out to the ring and cut a promo with Maryse about winning the Money in the Bank ladder match. That prompted John Morrison to come out. Morrison got beat up by Dibiase, but then the tables turned and Morrison looked poised to once again Miss his finisher, and if it wasn't for Maryse things might have been worse, she pulled Ted out of harms way.
The most intriguing thing about the Florence Henderson sketch with Santino was that there was a random Pepperoni Pizza in the background.
Edge defeated Randy Orton
Orton and Edge already fought this match on ppv, and this time around it was a replica of their previous match. I liked it for what it was, but I didn't really care for the feud, if they are still feuding. Edge seemed to have the upper hand towards the end of the match, and while Orton was looking threatening, I wasn't really convinced that he could take out the Rated R superstar tonight. The counters towards the end was a nice way to get the crowd into it, and for all intents and purposes this match was better than their last ppv match, especially since Orton didn't dislocate his shoulder this time around. Edge won with a little help from Chris Jericho in a nice Raw match, which is a great change of pace for the WWE.
Post match Jericho hit the Code Breaker on Edge.
Orton than hit the RKO on Jericho, and that prompted Evan Bourne to come out.
What happened next is the BEST MOVE EVER!
Evan Bourne went for Airbourne but was hit with the RKO! Airbourne into RKO! If you missed it, you missed it! AIRBOURNE INTO THE RKO! AMAZING!!! SICK!!!! BEST MOVE OF 2010! HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP! Perfect TIMING! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! I KID YOU NOT! RKO RKO RKO! I was going nuts.
Nexus beat up John Morrison after he walked into a Skip Sheffield promo. Morrison sucks, I'm glad he got beat down. Screw Morrison.
The Miz cut a promo and said that he would win the Money in the Bank Ladder match. He then had a match with the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry.
Mark Henry vs The Miz
This match was not very good, aside from The Miz utilizing weapons to knockout and beat up Mark Henry. Henry went head first into the General Manager's stand and was knocked out cold. I assume the match ended in a double countout? I don't know, I hate no finish endings.
Santino, Goldust, Kozlov, and the Great Khali defeated Zack Ryder, William Regal, and DOINK THE CLOWN, Primo
I kid you not folks, Doink the Clown was part of this match. The beginning saw Santino loading up the Cobra and it actually worked! He hit Regal with the Cobra! THE COBRA! Doink tagged in and this match turned into a Khali beat down as he beat up Doink! Doink took a huge chop to the head from Khali and this thing was over.
Evan Bourne got beat up by Nexus.
Sheamus walked up on Evan Bourne and laughed in his face. Then he came face to face with the Nexus crew. Sheamus ran off and was looking for Cena, and that was that.
The Nexus defeated John Cena
This match featured SUPER CENA for the majority of the match. It was funny to see him hit every power move he could on several members of the Nexus. Nexus wasn't getting the upper hand for the most part until Heath Slater hit Cena from behind and I was marking out. I'm sick of Cena, they should injure him and write him off the show. Just Gabriel got the pinfall victory after the 450 Splash.
A fallen Cena had the Nexus standing over him and it was awesome, finally the end of SUPER CENA, Screw CENA! He sucks! YES YES YES!
Post match, Cena sucker punched Wade then ran for a chair and cleared the ring. What a coward. Cena had blood falling down his face, and the Nexus got on the ring.
Sheamus ran down with a chair and helped John Cena! WTF?!?!? WHY?
Sheamus sucks too...and that's how the show ended with Nexus running away and Cena & Sheamus friends? Whatever.

TNA Victory Road 2010 Review
I was fortunate enough to see the show, and therefore, here is my review of the latest TNA ppv offering.
The show opened up with a promo for Abyss. They did it just like they did the old Mankind promo's, and I'm tired of it already. Abyss sucks, face it folks, Abyss is such a stale character that hasn't been relevant for a long time.
Doug Williams defeated Brian Kendrick
The story here is that Williams is afraid of heights, which meant that Kendrick had the upper hand here. The match was even handed, going back and forth throughout the match up. Williams was working a more strong style, while Kendrick was throwing all his high spots at the champion, making for a nice flow. The match should've gotten better with near falls or something, but overall, this match started hot and fizzled out over time. The ending featured a bad landing from the “x” ropes Williams managed to choke out Kendrick, who looked dead after the fall. A boring ending to an otherwise mediocre match.
Post match, Kendrick looked legit knocked out, and it could've been from the fall off the top of the “x” sign ropes.
Brother Ray defeated Jesse Neal and Brother Devon in a triple threat match
This match was just terrible to watch. I was so bored with it, and even though it had a few hits, the majority just wasn't that good. I haven't been a fan of Team 3D since they were battling the Eliminators in ECW. Devon didn't show up after they introduced him, and it turned out that Devon was locked in his dressing room with and he couldn't get out. This match was just a few steps above an Impact match. The most exciting part of the match was seeing the ECW originals walking in the crowd, that's about it. Devon eventually ran down to the ring, and this match could've started to get good, but guess what? It didn't. Neal accidentally speared Devon and Brother Ray won via pinfall.
This is the worst feud going right now. I'm sick of it, that's for sure.
Angelina Love defeated Madison Rayne via disqualification **Love wins the title
First and foremost, Madison was wearing a flesh tone ring outfit, giving the perception that she was naked. I'm not sure if that was the intention of TNA, but it came across very sexy. Just sayin. The match was a systematic movement of botches, attempts at wrestling, and just terrible points of interest. I was really bored with this match, even though you could see everything that Madison Rayne has, including a shot of her nether-regions.
Out of the blue a woman riding a Motorcycle showed up in full black gear and a helmet on. Angelina Love was thrown outside and the masked woman attacked her, and then the Ref was beat up, causing the match to end in a disqualification.
Post match the Motorcycle riding woman took Madison Rayne with her to the backstage area. Angelina Love won, and I didn't care, and I'm sure no one else did either.
Kazarian & Aj Styles defeated Rob Terry & Samoa Joe
This hot shot tag team didn't make any sense to me. That's right, Rob Terry was feuding with Orlando Jordan and Samoa Joe is fresh off losing to RVD, so why are they tagging together out of the blue? I don't know, and guess what? WHO CARES?!?! Ugh, I'm so sick of TNA's booking, it just doesn't make sense to me, and doesn't interest me at all. Plus, WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE???
The match was mostly Joe & Terry and the two were in full control of this match up, while Styles and Kaz tried their best to fight the monster duo. Kaz and AJ were bumping all over the ring, and the dual offense of Terry & Joe definitely made the match fun to watch. I thought I was going to hate the match, but the pace was fast, the moves were definitely solid, and it just kept getting better over time, with Styles and Kaz just getting PWNED at all points. Samoa Joe caught Styles flying into the corner and slammed him in a move that should've broken the ring, it was sick. Terry is jacked as ever, and was throwing around Kaz and Styles like rag dolls, making for a nice throwback to the 80's Steroids era of wrestling. Desmond Wolfe ran down to interfere in the match, and helped turn the match around.
Desmond Wolfe was easily taken care of and the Flair wannabes took turns hitting their finishers to get Rob Terry out, and that was that. This match was actually very entertaining, and I liked it. They won the match with a nice flurry of finishers, and a little help from Desmond Wolfe.
Post match, Desmond Wolfe got a Muscle Buster for his troubles.
Hernandez defeated Matt Morgan in a steel cage match
This match was a classic steel cage match, and it featured blood! This match wasn't pg, and it shouldn't be. The two men fought each other quite well and each man took major bumps into the cage, and through power moves at various stages of the match up. Hernandez got the biggest bump as he flew off the top of the cage, only to miss Morgan. Morgan got a pair of handcuffs and cuffed Hernandez to the ring ropes, but Super Mex broke the cuffs and spread the cage door hard and busted through to win the match! Not a terrible match, and definitely a throwback to the old style cage matches from WWE, I liked it.
Christy Hemme has a HUGE forehead, but I'd still hook up, if I had a chance.
Jay Lethal defeated Ric Flair
Jay Lethal did a lot of standard 80's and early 90's style wrestling in this match. Taking pages from many other matches that Flair has been a part of, Lethal kept hitting standard wrestling moves instead of flying through the year often. Flair wasn't exactly putting on a show tonight, and he was winded early. Lethal eventually started to work Flair's leg and eventually strapped on the Figure Four leg lock and Flair quit. That was that. This match was barely passable, and Lethal was really excited, about beating up a 50 year old man.
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Beer Money
This match was given plenty of time, and the guys put on a show as they always do. I don't remember being too intrigued, but I give the two teams a lot of credit. Both teams had points where this thing was over, but I felt like I've seen this match too many times. I'm actually getting tired of seeing the Machine Guns fight Beer Money, and that's why I didn't care too much about this match. Yes, there were double team moves, high spots, nearfalls, and some good quality tag team wrestling, but I just didn't find myself caring too much. The Eye of the Storm was a nice move towards the end.
There was a ref bump, out ran Earl Hebner to equalize the match up. The Machine Guns kept getting close. The match ended in an odd fashion. One member Beer Money pinned One member of The Machine Guns, While one member of the Machine Guns pinned one member of Beer Money, and both Brian Hebner and Earl Hebner counted 3 which meant that both teams won?!?
The match was restarted, since there were no definitive winners. After the match was restarted, the Motor City Machine Guns hit a tandem move and finally got the pinfall win to capture the TNA Tag Team Championship Belts.
Kurt Angle defeated The Pope D'Angelo Dinero
This wasn't a four star epic, but it had enough gusto to make a very interesting match from two good overall competitors. The match was back and forth with neither man really getting too much of an advantage in the match up. You got your traditional Angle moments with suplexes, rough tackles and mat wrestling. Dinero kept fighting and hit his move set, but the end came with Dinero getting trapped in the Ankle Lock several times, and eventually giving up. This match was telegraphed for Angle to win, and anyone that thought he would lose, is dumb. Angle will not lose a match for a long time, that's for sure.
Rob Van Dam defeated Abyss,Jeff Hardy, and Mr. Anderson
This match was probably the safest main event I've seen in a long time. The match didn't have a lot of high spots, and while there were a few cool moments, this match just looked like it was phoned in. I didn't think this match was all that great, and actually ended with such a stupid ending, that even the crowd wasn't that insane. It was a quiet crowd in a lackluster finish, that saw all men on top of each other and Rob Van Dam with the pinfall win. The dead crowd showcased how crappy this match was. Seriously, there is nothing really worth mentioning throughout the match, and I felt cheated as a wrestling fan.
Post match Abyss grabbed his Nail Board and was ready to attack RVD, he didn't hit him, but wanted to. Abyss was left in the ring with the board and that was that. The show ended with Abyss in ring, and that was that. I hated this crap. One of the worst ppv's of the year, and I am not surprised that I hated it. TNA hasn't done anything worth while in a few months and dare I say years? Man, TNA sucks.

TNA Victory Road 2010 Review
I was fortunate enough to see the show, and therefore, here is my review of the latest TNA ppv offering.
The show opened up with a promo for Abyss. They did it just like they did the old Mankind promo's, and I'm tired of it already. Abyss sucks, face it folks, Abyss is such a stale character that hasn't been relevant for a long time.
Doug Williams defeated Brian Kendrick
The story here is that Williams is afraid of heights, which meant that Kendrick had the upper hand here. The match was even handed, going back and forth throughout the match up. Williams was working a more strong style, while Kendrick was throwing all his high spots at the champion, making for a nice flow. The match should've gotten better with near falls or something, but overall, this match started hot and fizzled out over time. The ending featured a bad landing from the “x” ropes Williams managed to choke out Kendrick, who looked dead after the fall. A boring ending to an otherwise mediocre match.
Post match, Kendrick looked legit knocked out, and it could've been from the fall off the top of the “x” sign ropes.
Brother Ray defeated Jesse Neal and Brother Devon in a triple threat match
This match was just terrible to watch. I was so bored with it, and even though it had a few hits, the majority just wasn't that good. I haven't been a fan of Team 3D since they were battling the Eliminators in ECW. Devon didn't show up after they introduced him, and it turned out that Devon was locked in his dressing room with and he couldn't get out. This match was just a few steps above an Impact match. The most exciting part of the match was seeing the ECW originals walking in the crowd, that's about it. Devon eventually ran down to the ring, and this match could've started to get good, but guess what? It didn't. Neal accidentally speared Devon and Brother Ray won via pinfall.
This is the worst feud going right now. I'm sick of it, that's for sure.
Angelina Love defeated Madison Rayne via disqualification **Love wins the title
First and foremost, Madison was wearing a flesh tone ring outfit, giving the perception that she was naked. I'm not sure if that was the intention of TNA, but it came across very sexy. Just sayin. The match was a systematic movement of botches, attempts at wrestling, and just terrible points of interest. I was really bored with this match, even though you could see everything that Madison Rayne has, including a shot of her nether-regions.
Out of the blue a woman riding a Motorcycle showed up in full black gear and a helmet on. Angelina Love was thrown outside and the masked woman attacked her, and then the Ref was beat up, causing the match to end in a disqualification.
Post match the Motorcycle riding woman took Madison Rayne with her to the backstage area. Angelina Love won, and I didn't care, and I'm sure no one else did either.
Kazarian & Aj Styles defeated Rob Terry & Samoa Joe
This hot shot tag team didn't make any sense to me. That's right, Rob Terry was feuding with Orlando Jordan and Samoa Joe is fresh off losing to RVD, so why are they tagging together out of the blue? I don't know, and guess what? WHO CARES?!?! Ugh, I'm so sick of TNA's booking, it just doesn't make sense to me, and doesn't interest me at all. Plus, WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE???
The match was mostly Joe & Terry and the two were in full control of this match up, while Styles and Kaz tried their best to fight the monster duo. Kaz and AJ were bumping all over the ring, and the dual offense of Terry & Joe definitely made the match fun to watch. I thought I was going to hate the match, but the pace was fast, the moves were definitely solid, and it just kept getting better over time, with Styles and Kaz just getting PWNED at all points. Samoa Joe caught Styles flying into the corner and slammed him in a move that should've broken the ring, it was sick. Terry is jacked as ever, and was throwing around Kaz and Styles like rag dolls, making for a nice throwback to the 80's Steroids era of wrestling. Desmond Wolfe ran down to interfere in the match, and helped turn the match around.
Desmond Wolfe was easily taken care of and the Flair wannabes took turns hitting their finishers to get Rob Terry out, and that was that. This match was actually very entertaining, and I liked it. They won the match with a nice flurry of finishers, and a little help from Desmond Wolfe.
Post match, Desmond Wolfe got a Muscle Buster for his troubles.
Hernandez defeated Matt Morgan in a steel cage match
This match was a classic steel cage match, and it featured blood! This match wasn't pg, and it shouldn't be. The two men fought each other quite well and each man took major bumps into the cage, and through power moves at various stages of the match up. Hernandez got the biggest bump as he flew off the top of the cage, only to miss Morgan. Morgan got a pair of handcuffs and cuffed Hernandez to the ring ropes, but Super Mex broke the cuffs and spread the cage door hard and busted through to win the match! Not a terrible match, and definitely a throwback to the old style cage matches from WWE, I liked it.
Christy Hemme has a HUGE forehead, but I'd still hook up, if I had a chance.
Jay Lethal defeated Ric Flair
Jay Lethal did a lot of standard 80's and early 90's style wrestling in this match. Taking pages from many other matches that Flair has been a part of, Lethal kept hitting standard wrestling moves instead of flying through the year often. Flair wasn't exactly putting on a show tonight, and he was winded early. Lethal eventually started to work Flair's leg and eventually strapped on the Figure Four leg lock and Flair quit. That was that. This match was barely passable, and Lethal was really excited, about beating up a 50 year old man.
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Beer Money
This match was given plenty of time, and the guys put on a show as they always do. I don't remember being too intrigued, but I give the two teams a lot of credit. Both teams had points where this thing was over, but I felt like I've seen this match too many times. I'm actually getting tired of seeing the Machine Guns fight Beer Money, and that's why I didn't care too much about this match. Yes, there were double team moves, high spots, nearfalls, and some good quality tag team wrestling, but I just didn't find myself caring too much. The Eye of the Storm was a nice move towards the end.
There was a ref bump, out ran Earl Hebner to equalize the match up. The Machine Guns kept getting close. The match ended in an odd fashion. One member Beer Money pinned One member of The Machine Guns, While one member of the Machine Guns pinned one member of Beer Money, and both Brian Hebner and Earl Hebner counted 3 which meant that both teams won?!?
The match was restarted, since there were no definitive winners. After the match was restarted, the Motor City Machine Guns hit a tandem move and finally got the pinfall win to capture the TNA Tag Team Championship Belts.

The Week In Wrestling 7/10/10
The week is done, and I've decided to start writing up commentary for the “week in wrestling, featuring news, comments, and discussion.
First up, let's talk about some wrestling news.
Wrestling News
Dragon Gate USA ran a ppv last night and I didn't see it, but am interested in seeing the independent wrestling promotion's attempt at competing with the bigger wrestling companies. I might be able to sneak a peak courtesy of a few friends I have online, but it's doubtful.
Triple H is slated to be out for a few months after getting surgery on a torn tendon in his upper arm. Needless to say, I'm NOT missing Triple H and his tendency to hold down the roster. Hopefully he's enjoying his family and time away from the ring.
Eric Bischoff said in an interview this week that the ball is basically in Daniel Bryan's court, in regards to joining the TNA roster. He also said that Paul Heyman and Dixie have talked about possibly working together, but it's not likely. All in all, Daniel Bryan's impact in just a few weeks is much better and bigger than a majority of the planned angles in WWE and it's refreshing to see interest in a smaller wrestler, from all the major companies.
Ricky Steamboat got beat down and is in the hospital, really. This is a sad news post, but at least he made it, or is recovering well. From what I know, which isn't much, the injury was NOT a result of the beat down he took from Nexus.
The WWE Ricky Steamboat 3-Disc DVD set is out, and if you purchase it from this link here, the site gets 4% of the sale. So if you want to support the site, and want to get the dvd go for it, I'd appreciate it greatly, as I'm barely scraping by right now.
TNA VICTORY ROAD 2010
This weekend, TNA will present Victory Road 2010 live on PPV. I can't afford the ppv, but am going to be watching and reviewing it. The review will be delayed, but if I can find a stream for it, I'd take advantage. It's most likely not going to happen for me live, as I can't drop $40 on a ppv right now. If you stream it, right on, I'll be giving my commentary for the card.
Speaking of cards, here's the TNA Victory Road 2010 Full PPV Card as announced so far.
TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Mr. Anderson vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Abyss vs. (c) Rob Van Dam
CHALLENGE MATCH
Ric Flair vs. Jay Lethal
CONTENDERS BATTLE
#10 Kurt Angle VS #8 "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero
STEEL CAGE MATCH
Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez
ULTIMATE X MATCH FOR THE X CHAMPIONSHIP
(Win by either Submission or claiming the Ultimate X)
Kendrick vs. (c) Douglas Williams
TNA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Beer Money vs. The Motor City Machineguns
TNA KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP
Angelina Love vs. (c) Madison Rayne
AJ Styles & Kazarian vs. To Be Announced
Brother Ray vs. Jesse Neal vs. Brother Devon
It actually looks like a solid card, and one that you might not want to miss. I'm not sure why Kurt Angle and the Pope weren't featured on Impact, considering they have a match on sunday. I also am not sure why Samoa Joe was kidnapped. No sign of Erik Young, Suicide, and others. TNA will have to put on a 4 star show this weekend, considering their last ppv outing completely sucked.
Where's Taylor Wild and Sarita?
Where's Orlando Jordan?
Where's Big Rob Terry and his Global Championship Belt?
Where's 1/3 of the X-Division wrestlers?
TNA is completely lopsided. How many consecutive weeks did they feature all these entities and yet they have none of them on their last show before the ppv? What a waste of an Impact, that's for sure.
Comments and Responses
Shane said in regadrs to Monday Night Raw
Judging by comments dropped in the show I see the Nexus getting a strong heel leader (mainly, Jericho or Edge as the main candidates) and eventually it boiling down to a feud between Wade Barret and the new leader. Maybe for a title. Was Wade Barret stripped of his title match opportunity? Poor choice for the WWE, a Money In The Bank-type surprise championship from Wade Barret could strengthen the NXT and give the whole locker room reason to hate them.
Could Jericho or Edge be the leader of the Nexus? Maybe. I don't know if the WWE will in fact go down that road, considering that the two aren't necessarily showing any signs of it. A feud between Jericho and Barrett could be nice, and maybe able to be thrown together. Wade does not have a title shot, but if he can muscle or cheat his way into the Money In the Bank main event and win the title, that'd be epic. I wouldn't put the notion past the WWE to have Nexus attack the Money in the Bank Raw match and get Wade to claim the briefcase and cash it in on the champion in the same night. Now that'd be good overall, but highly doubtful.
Jupiterhill said in regards to Monday Night Raw
The more I saw the three factions going at it, I was thinking it will boil down to a WWE version of War Games. I know they have been toying with it for a while, and if not I see it culminating in a Survivor Series style match.
I'm not sure why they did it, but with R-Truth out of the MITB match, I could see Otunga or Barret take his spot. I mean they are under contract now so why don't they wrestle.
I'm not sure if anybody noticed, but Darren Young never tapped out of Cena's STF. I know it wouldn't have mattered, but the heel ALWAYS taps when locked into submission when it doesn't matter. Are they making Darren Young the black John Cena? Wait I mean... well having Cena like powers?
Overall I wasn't real impressed and I wished I saved the DVR space for ROH instead. By the way, I might be interested in writing reports for Superstars and NXT, and possibly Ring of Honor. I'll have to see how my internet works. I might try this week, unless you already have someone for it.
War Games in WWE? I sure hope so. Two rings, two major teams trying to go at it. My favorite War Games moment and one that is eerily similar to what's going on now is when Sting had an evil clone and quit the match, only to return and beat up the whole New World Order, at the time, and then never come back as the same.
War Games with the reunited Four Horseman fighting the New World Order was also a classic moment in the invasion angle of the late 90's. Could the invasion angle actually work out to a double cage main event? I would probably bet on a Hell in the Cell match, before War Games. As for the invasion, remember that 10 man tag where Austin turned? I'd expect that more than anything else.
R-Truth getting injured by Miz is odd. I heard on various podcasts that he could be legit injured or he failed the Wellness Policy. Who will replace him? I'm not sure, I really don't know. I just hope they don't throw in random people like they did when Shawn Michaels was injured at No Way Out 98, and the WWE gave us Savio Vega in replacement for Michaels.
Darren Young did not tap, and that was interesting. I'm not sure how the world didn't end, considering that Black John Cena and John Cena were fighting. I don't know if that even matters, but if the WWE is smart, they'll let Young say something smug about that.
Thank you overall for your comments and interest in the guest blogger position, but I'm taking the reigns on that one, despite some serious contenders. I am trying to figure out the ROH schedule and I'll add reviews for that and more, if I get more video sources on a regular basis.
Super Cena and WCW Uncensored
Coming this Monday night, the Nexus 7 Will face off against John Cena in a handicap match. I have my reservations about this match, and it reminds me too much of the Macho Man & Hogan vs the complete Dungeon of Doom and Ric Flair match that WCW did at Uncensored 1996.
Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage defeated Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Meng, The Barbarian, Lex Luger, Kevin Sullivan, Z-Gangsta and The Ultimate Solution in a tri-level cage match.
Can Super John Cena fight off 7 guys? Well, Hogan and Savage took out 8 guys in a cage match, so anything is possible right?
I am sick of John Cena winning all the time and I'm sick of his gimmick. His actions on Monday were NOT PG and I'm just getting tired of WWE's super hero. Sure, I marked out huge for Hogan in the 80's, but that was the 80's and I was a little kid, I'm much older now, I need something more than a super hero in professional wrestling. A heel, rapping, John Cena would fit perfectly here and he's advanced to a place where he can possibly get over as a major heel and antihero.
That's the end of this week.
That's the end of this week folks, hopefully you enjoyed some wrestling and what not. Check out the TNA ppv if you can, let me know your comments after I review it. Ever week I'll be doing this weekend report after the Smackdown Review so keep tuned. If you haven't already check out the RSS FEED by clicking HERE.
Lastly, please support the site by visiting AMAZON.COM and bookmarking it. It helps the site and I can start moving towards my own dot com and start working on a podcast. I'll also try and hook you guys up with free stuff along the way too.
