WWE Friday Night Smackdown 1/7/11 Review

I'm a little frustrated this morning. I've failed to make any money this year, and well last year I didn't have a job, so I'm starting this year off with a lousy week, and wrestling is well, hit or miss. I had high hopes for tonight, so we'll see if all works out with Smackdown.

Edge defeated Kane in a last man standing match

I hate last man standing matches, but these two made a good one out of what I hate. The two battled in the ring, then eventually battled it out in the crowd, and started to climb upwards to the upper deck seats. They made it to the top of the building and they started fighting near the luxury suites. This no doubt had the crowd going, and I was marking out huge, since I haven't seen this kind of violence since Mankind fought the Rock. The two would eventually go back to the ring, and Kane took control of this one. He beat down Edge and then threw him through the announce table. Edge managed to beat out Kane in this match up, which ended with Edge hitting his patented spear but Kane couldn't get up as his leg buckled under him from a chair shot. Yep, no blood, a few brawls in the concessions, and this was over. Edge beat kane in a 20+ minute battle. I liked it enough, but it wasn't a four star classic in any sense of the word.

Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler for the United States Title

This match was a nice back and forth match up with great action from both men. The match had the crowd going amidst lots of Kofi Kingston offense and a hard fought battle. Ziggler managed to fight through with some nice couners, and I thought he'd once again win, but nope. Kofi hit a nice crossbody and beat Ziggler, then immediately, Ziggler wanted a rematch but lost after Trouble in Paradise, and Kofi wins.

I'm hoping Dolph gets pushed towards the world title, as he's got a lot of wrestling talent. He put on a good show in the matches, and Kofi did a lot of work.

Dolph Ziggler defeated The Big Show, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes

A triple threat match for the #1 contender tot he world title? I like the idea. Drew McIntyre was supposed to be involved, but somehow he was sidestepped and Dolph Ziggler was put into the match up thanks to Vickie, making this a fourway match up. McIntyre was beat up and isolated, and then Big Show took control over most of this match up, stomping out all the smaller men, with relative ease. The Future Shock DDT was hit on Big Show and it looked like Big Show would lose this one in the end, but he couldn't pin the big man down. Ziggler managed to hit his finisher on Cody Rhodes, making Dolph Ziggler the #1 contender. This match was quite interesting, a good overall match up even though there were a lot of short stops and breathers. Edge will face Ziggler, and I for one think it can be one of the better feuds in recent memory.

Wade Barrett came out to beat up Big Show, which was weird.

Michelle McCool defeated Kelly Kelly

McCool had an ok match up, and beat down Kelly Kelly with relative ease. This match wasn't that great, but whatever.

Rey Mysterio defeated Alberto Del Rio in a 2 out of 3 falls match

This match was interesting, and Mystery managed to have a lot of great action in this one, despite having his arm injured. Alberto Del Rio was able to manage a lot of the offense and counter from time to time, but it was obvious that he was out matched by a much faster Mysterio. The two traded falls but in the end, the ring announcer helped Alberto Del Rio get the second fall and beat Rey Mysterio yet again! This match was good, don't get me wrong, I just don't know where they are going with this feud. I love Del Rio's gimmick, and I'm hoping that they continue this feud somehow.

Overall a good night of wrestling tonight on Smackdown, and something that if you saw, You enjoyed too, I hope. Post match Mysterio mixed it up with Del Rio's ring announcer, and this match was touted as the bitter end...but I'm hoping it isn't.

TNA Impact 1/6/11 Results and Review

TNA Impact 1/6/11 Results

Doug Williams vs Rob Terry (No Contest)
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Aj Styles and Kaz
Sarita & Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James & Velvet Skye
Jay Lethal defeated Abyss via dq
Jeff Jarrett defeated RVD in a no dq match

TNA Impact 1/6/11 Review

The night opened up with Immortal or Fortune or whoever it is, and Bischoff talked about how they are going to do things right or something, I don't know, I didn't care.

All the champions were called out and they all started brawling. Out came RVD and he started to take everyone out.

Jarrett did his mma challenge beat up some kid, and then was run out of the ring by Kurt Angle. This thing has gone on too long, I'm so sick of this bs.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Aj Styles and Kaz

This match wasn't given nearly enough time, but it had a few good high spots and random moves. The Machine Guns were able to win this match up after a few good quality moves, but overall, it wasn't all that great. These four could put on a 4 star classic, but instead, they seriously just bored me.

Post match, Beer Money beat them up.

The Pope came out and cut a promo. Samoa Joe's hoodie is from Old Navy! I know cause I have one! Woo! The Pope is heel now? I guess. Joe is back...did Pope kidnap Samoa Joe? I don't know.

Sarita & Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James & Vevlet Skye

Another boring Knockouts match. I'm so sick of this bs too. Another terrible match with no major offense, nothing worth checking out, this was lame.

Doug Williams vs Rob Terry (No Contest)

THis was stupid. The match barely got under way and out came Aj Styles to beat up Doug Williams. They were trying to break Williams arm. I guess this will come to fruition at the ppv? I don't know.

Jay Lethal defeated Abyss via dq

This was going well but then Abyss got himself disqualified and this was the end. Lethal barely got offense in, and after the match Kaz came in and beat him up.

Jeff Jarrett defeated RVD in a no dq match

Another boring match. Stupid stupid match with Double J winning after he got help from Jeff Hardy.

post match out ran Matt Morgan, or as Scott Steiner calls him Mike Morgan.

This Impact sucked, I'm so sick of TNA, they are starting the new year with just as bad of wrestling ever. Ugh...So tired of this BS.

WWE Superstars 1/6/10 Results and Review

WWE Superstars 1/6/10 Results

Tyler Reks defeated JTG
Chris Masters defeated Curt Hawkins
Yoshi Tatsu defeated Zack Ryder
Tyson Kidd & Ted Dibiase Jr defeated Daniel Bryan & Mark Henry

WWE Superstars 1/6/10 Review

The first Superstars that I could watch, and it's Jack Korpel and Matt Striker on commentary and out comes JTG to face Tyler Reks. I liked the surfer gimmick, but that was just me. This kind of "Conan" gimmick, is boring to me.

Tyler Reks defeated JTG

This match surprised me, Tyler Reks usually plows through his oppnents with relative ease and I thought this match was going to be another squash. However, this match had JTG hitting some nice moves and hard moves against Reks, but just when I thought to mention that, Reks hit his finisher and this thing was all over. Reks wins, and no one in the crowd cared. He's not that good.

Chris Masters defeated Curt Hawkins

This match wasn't all that great, it bored me really. Chris Masters put short work into defeating Curt Hawkins and the match was easily over after a few power moves. I didn't care.

I'm not watching NXT, I don't care.

Yoshi Tatsu defeated Zack Ryder

Zack Ryder loses this contest and it was a good back and forth affair. It really is a weird match up, and I'm not sure why Ryder doesn't get a better push. This match had a lot of action, lots of good moments, but it just didn't amount to much fan fare. Tatsu hit some sick kicks and eventually beat Ryder. Zack Ryder could be such a huge star, and yet they don't use him. I don't know.

Tyson Kidd & Ted Dibiase Jr defeated Daniel Bryan & Mark Henry

This boring match had some good action here and there. It had a lot of moments that were fast, and obviously foreshadowing the future, but after Daniel Bryan kept going for his finisher, this thing sunk. Tyson Kidd hit a nice neck breaker and pinned Bryan.

Overall not a great show, and I really am not sure why the WWE keeps putting this show out, it's not nearly as good as either major shows on Mondays and Fridays, and really is just a filler show that bores me.

Alberto Del Rio defeated R Truth

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/3/10 Review

Alright, a New Year, a new Raw and a continuation of the stories we started last year. Raw opened up with a recap of Nexus beatin gdown John Cena and CM Punk becoming the leader of Nexus. I liked it a lot, and one thing that I've always said, WWE can create some of the most compelling videos. I always wanted to work there, and even went to school and have a degree for it, but alas, no job, no response, and still trying to make a few cents here, none of which is happening, because no one is buying via the amazon links. Oh well.

Michael Cole opened up and told us that John Cena was injured. He then run down the night, old school style, before the intro came in. I hat how the intro is Nickelback...I hate it.

The Miz defeated John Morrison in a Falls Count Anywhere Match

This match started very fast with Morrison and Miz fighting on the ramp and Morrison going nuts flying off the top of a high WWE sign on the top of the ramp. This high spot really was nice to look at, but had disaster written all over it, had he missed. Morrison had this match going well for himself with heavy hitting offense, and lots of great spots, perfectly executed. He even had this thing won at one point, but Alex Riley interfered and The Miz was able to recover. After the commercial, Morrison went through a guard rail as the Miz backflipped him near the ramp and stage. Morrison hit Starship Pain and had the Miz completely knocked out, but somehow, someway The Miz kicked out! I marked out huge, because I didn't know if Miz could survive much more, and Morrison had this thing completely won. Miz rolled up Morrison and the match continued, but Morrison kept his onslaught of offense. There was a table outside, and this thing was bound to get messy in a heartbeat, as Morrison continued to set up Miz. Morrison went for Starship Pain off the top rope to the outside, and MISSED! Morrison went solo through a table, Miz rolled out of the way, and this thing was over...so I thought. MOrrison was able to kick out at 2, which was insane, there's no way, this match was seriously becoming match of the year, and it was only the first match of 2011. The Skull Crushing Finale was hit on the floor and The Miz won this match up! Holy crap, Miz won a war here, and wow, best match I've seen in a long time. If you missed it, go watch it somehow. Miz and Morrison put on a 3 to 4 star classic and Morrison looked halfway dead...what a match up. Wow, just wow. This was a ppv caliber match up folks.

Natalya, Eve, Brie Bella defeated Maryse, Alicia Fox, and Melina

I'm tired of seeing the same 6 women wrestle in WWE. I used to love the TNA knockout's division because they had a stable of women that out numbered the WWE divas, but alas, here are the same six women that I've seen wrestle every week, in the same six person tag match. I'm so sick of the WWE divas. This match sucked, it had a few minor moments to see, but overall, this was just a tired match up. Eve got the pin with a neckbreaker.

Santino & Kozlov defeated The Usos

I've already seen this match twenty times before, but this time, the Usos actually won. This match was ok at best, but it was Kozlov and Santino that got the last laugh. The match up had the Usos taking a lot of bumps and giving off most of the offense. The Cobra was the team's downfall, but eh, we got a double cobra at the end of the match. This was a comedy match up, which was just hilarious.

CM Punk cut a nice heel promo, but out came Wade Barrett. This should get really interesting, especially since Wade claimed he injured Cena at a house show. The two argued in the ring, and Wade commanded NExUS to come out, and that's when they came out. This got interesting, but I was thinking that Nexus would be beating up Wade here. I'm still the only one that thinks The Black John Cena should return.

Nexus, with Otunga taking the mic, talked about how they need a new leader. But before anyone could say anything else, the Raw General manager chimed in. The general manager said that there would be a Steel Cage match later tonight. Wade Barrett agreed that if he lossed in a cage match later in the show, he'd leave Nexus and let Cm Punk lead.

Alberto Del Rio defeated R Truth

Once again, this match proves a few things. It proved that Del Rio is a top contender and should get a title shot if not the world title soon. He also proved that there is no NEED to have a brand split, there is just no reason. Del Rio worked on Truth's arm for the match, putting on a great technical showcase, and entertaining process. Truth couldn't get into this match, and he's just recovering from sickness, and well, couldn't master the Mexican anti-hero. I hope Del Rio gets a title soon, I like him. I'm an Alberto Del Rio fan for sure.

Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett and Sheamus in a #1 Contenders Steel Cage Triple Threat Match

I hate the new era of cage matches. The ref in the ring, the lack of blue steel, it just looks stupid. This match was hard hitting and featured a lot of power moves. The three battled it out, and it was nice to see it get some time, as all the members hit hard and were telling a story which I couldn't pinpoint the winner. Mid point, Barrett was climbing out of the ring and Cm Punk ran down, but betrayed him, costing him the match up. Sheamus hit the "bro" kick on Barrett and turned only to get an RKO knocking him completely out. Orton then simply walked out and will now get a shot at The Miz at the Royal Rumble. Another Miz Orton match? I'm bored already.

I'm surprised that Miz didn't run down and knock the door closed, hitting Orton and causin him to lose the match, because he doesn't want to face him. That would made for higher drama, but it didn't happen here.

Punk betraying Barrett was a nice touch, and one that I didn't really see coming necessarily. Sheamus losing, well, I guess that's ok.

Overall a good Raw, and a great night of wrestling. I'm excited to see what's coming down the pipeline as it seems that we're moving into a better era of wrestling, but we'll see what happens in the coming weeks, as things could turn sour fast.
