WWE Monday Night Raw 2/7/11 Results and Review

I'm back in action with a review of Monday Night Raw. I'd like to thank all 2 readers that sometimes read this website. I completely understand that there are other sites, and I'm not worried about being #1 or anything, I do this because I personally love this crap, and yes it's been crap lately.

MR. McMahon showed up first and foremost. The crowd went nuts too. I'd love to meet McMahon, and discuss a few things, mainly how I can work for him as a web guy. He came out to a mediocre reaction with mixed feelings. McMahon said he'd introduce the guest host of Wrestlemania will be, and it sounds to me like it will be none other than Shawn Michaels.

Randy Orton came out and cut a promo, and it sucked. I can't stand Orton. Cm Punk came out to answer Randal! Punk said that he interfered in the match up because at Unforgiven 2008 Legacy beat the crap out of Punk and then PUNTED HIM in the head! I remember that vaguely, and it's nice to see that the WWE is using some older material to get motivation for Punk.

The New nexus came out and beat up Orton, for a few moments, and while Orton fought them, Punk was able to have his henchman beat up Orton. Punk recieved a bloody nose for his troubles as Orton didn't go down easily. Orton was then hit with a gruesome GTS, and that was that. Orton went down like a heap, then was mocked by Punk.

Faketista, Mason Ryan, Batista Lite, Batista 2, whatever you want to call him wrestled R Truth next and it was a relative squash match. Ryan beat up Truth than used a weird submission move to defeat Truth. I didn't know what the crowd was chanting, but I know what I was chanting, Batista! Batista! Oh wait, this is Mason Ryan. I really hope the WWE can get batista back so he can stand face to face with faketista!

This match sucked. It featured minimal wrestling and lots of chatter with Michael Cole yelling at Natlya on commentary, and it sucked, I hated it. The match was ok, but Cole's ranting and yelling was so stupid that I couldn't get into the match. Eve won with a neckbreaker, I didn't care. Whatever.

Eve, Gail Kim and Tamina defeated Melina, The Bella twins

A new 2/21/11 promo aired and it had a Johnny Cash song in the background, which signals the return of The Undertaker, not Sting. I wish it was Sting...I guess I too got caught up with the whole thing.

McGullicutty might not be able to talk well on the live mic, but he has improved greatly in ring. He put on a good quick match with John Morrison even though Morrison was the one that got this thing won. Starship Pain actually landed and that was the end for Mike. Morrison isn't half bad at all, I like him.

Post match, CM Punk sprayed Morrison in the face with some sort of spray! Punk is all over the show, doing bad things, He's going to get completely beat down....it's just a matter of time before everyone unites to go after him.

Lawler and Miz squared off verbally before they ended up in fisticuffs. Lawler and Miz fought each other and Miz was not looking great at all, he was getting beat up! Ted Dibiase ran down and beat up Lawler. Daniel Bryan ran down and the General Manager made a match.

Daniel Bryan started the match quickly, with good offense. Speaking of which, when's the last time we saw a US Title defense? What a lousy title run. This match was your standard tag team match with Lawler and Bryan teaming well, and Miz and Dibiase taking a lot of bumps. After some outside grappling, Lawler was able to pin Ted Dibiase for the win!

Sheamus came out and talked trash, Otunga also came out and trid to get some shots in agaisnt Sheamus. Henry beat up Sheamus and then Otunga came out and raised his own hand. This was NOT a match, it was just a beatdown.

Out next came Alberto Del Rio, but you, you already knew that. Del Rio got on the mic and talked about how he was the next guy to go headline Wrestlemania. Santino ran down and Del Rio and Santino started going at it.

Del Rio first and foremost threw out Del Rio over the top rope! If he won the Royal Rumble, I truly believe WWE could mold him into a contender, but whatever. The match was actually more than just comical, it had a few good offensive moments from Santino, and Del Rio had to counter several times, and wasn't completely dominating. Eventually Del Rio would get his arm breaker on Santino and that was that. The winner, and you, you already knew it was Alberto Del Rio.

Alberto Del Rio defeated Santino

I haven't liked my middle name since Del Rio came to WWE...so I'm cheering for the guy! Woo!

John Cena, Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler sparred on the mic, with Cena going over, and that was that. I was tired at this point, and didn't care. As much as I can stand Cena a little more now, I don't really like him on the mic sometimes. I miss the old Rapping Cena, I wish they'd turn him heel, but you and I both know that is not going to happen.

John cena and CM Punk had an interesting encounter, and it was cool to see. Cena was definitely getting the best of this exchange. Punk was getting completely killed in this match, and eventually was hit with a huge low blow and Cena was disqualified. Out came the New Nexus to fight Cena, but Cena wasn't going down without a fight as King gave Cena a chair.

Cena was in ring with a chair and last man standing. That was that. Raw had some good moments, but with a lack of substantial wrestling and an overtly "story line" driven night, it wasn't all that great. I'm not sure if I'd get too behind this night of Raw, but hey, it was nice to watch wrestling again, after missing so much of it last week. We'll see how this continues.

New Comment Policy

Thanks to a few you idiots there are NO MORE comments allowed after 7 days, at least not in the traditional sense. If you have something to say or want to talk wrestling, be quick and comment. After around 7 days, I'm closing the comments to that post.

The reason for this is 2 fold:

1. No one ever seems to comment.

2. People want to resort to personally attacking me and my situation as if I could change it.

Let's just clear the air.

I can't get a job because there aren't any to be had in my city. I am stuck in a lease and can not simply just move. After the lease is over, I will be leaving and never looking back. In the mean time, I've been applying to a variety of companies and NONE of them are hiring. My city was hit with the recession to the point where the only way to get a job is to literally move out of this city.

Yes, there are a lot of sites out there, so why comment and be abusive on this one? Screw you! The people that left "anonymous" comments aren't even man enough to post their names, so for you cowardly few, you have ruined the chance to comment for others.

As for the downloads, and other crap. There are NOT a ton of sites offering that. Trust me, I already know this. I am not going to go into detail my frustrations, but I will say this much: When you pay someone to use their servers and links, and they aren't working, you get upset. If you PAY for something and it is not delivered, I think there is a valid excuse to say screw it.

That's it for now.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 2/4/11 Results Screwed AGAIN!

I spent 3 hours of my time downloading Smackdown from a forum that promises good downloads, and guess what? I got screwed again. This is the 4th time in 2 weeks that this site does NOT deliver the goods. I tried watching on youtube, but didn't get the full show, I tried alternative methods, but just couldn't get it.

Once again, I have no cable, no tv, and no way to watch wrestling, unless I'm provided options, and since this week I've been screwed over greatly, here are the results, and that's it. No review, no analysis, I'm sorry. Without any money or a job, I'm not sure what the future of this blog will be, or if I'll be able to continue it in the capacity that I've done in the past.

I'm sorry to disappoint, but I have no idea how to see these shows for free, and well, a big FU to all wrestling promotions for moving their shows to PAY tv. FU!

Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater defeated Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov
Drew McIntyre defeated Kofi Kingston
Rey Mysterio defeated Jack Swagger
Kane defeated Chavo Guerrero
Wade Barrett defeated Big Show
World Heavyweight Champion Edge & Kelly Kelly defeated Dolph Ziggler, Michelle McCool & Layla

Top 5 Stone Cold Steve Austin Matches

Since I couldn't see any of the Thursday night wrestling shows, I decided to throw up a quick review, top 5, just to give you guys something to check out, sorry. I am broke, no one buys anything from amazon using my links, I haven't had a job in 20 months, and don't own a tv or cable.

Stone Cold Steve Austin has had some amazing matches throughout his career. Although it was cut short, he still is one of the greatest superstars to ever lace up the boots and hit the WWE running. I loved him throughout his career, and I wanted to compile a list of matches that would be worth checking out, even today. These matches span not only his WWF/WWE career but also his WCW career as Stunning Steve Austin.

5. Stone Cold Steve Austin Royal Rumble 1997 - The 1997 Royal Rumble was one of the best overall Rumble matches ever, and it wasn't because the match itself was anything special, except for a few story lines that were pushed throughout the event. The main focal point on this one, was Stone Cold throwing out people left and right, then looking to his wrist as if it were a watch, waiting for the next entrant, and guess who it was? Bret Hart. Hart and Stone Cold would fight and eventually Stone Cold got thrown out, but while the Ref was watching Mick Foley they missed Stone Cold's departure, and he got back into the ring and threw out Hart, outlasted Taker and Vader and made it to win the 1997 Royal Rumble! This performance was so good, that it made the 97' Rumble one of the best matches ever. The match forced a Final Four match at the next ppv which was amazing, and then it would set up the #1 pick later on.

4. Stunning Steve Austin vs. Brian Pillman Clash of the Champions XXV - AH yes, The Clash of the Champions, the great ppv like quality event that aired on TBS and got better ratings than any modern day Raw. This match proved to be interesting because Stunning Steve was splitting up the Hollywood Blonds and was going solo. This match had both men at their prime battling it out, and well, it is still a classic. Pillman is so under rated, and Austin was showing signs of being the better man.

3. Stunning Steve Austin & Brian Pillman vs. Dos Hombres (Ricky Steamboat & Tom Zenk) - This match took place inside a Steel Cage. Wikipedia said that it was Tom Zenk under the mask, but I was under the impression that it was Shane Douglas. This match was another instant classic, one that featured some amazing moments. The finale was great, with all the guys flying across the ring, and Austin hitting his finisher The Stun Gun to get the win for the Blonds.

2. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock "No DQ" Wrestlamania XVII - One of the greatest ppv's of all time. This is one of my favorite Wrestlemania's of all time. The main event was an incredible match and it featured some of the best work from Rock and Austin. Austin was obviously going under in this match, but it was Vince that would help Austin not only turn on the fans but get the title and go out victorious. The Rock was screwed over by Vince, Austin turned, and everyone went nuts when it all was said and done.

1. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart "Submission Match" Wrestlemania XIII - My favorite Austin match was even better than the Survivor Series 96 match that these to made into a four star classic. Austin got busted open the hard way mid-match, and Hart went completely nuts, and wouldn't stop beating the hell out of an unconscious Steve Austin. This was made classic because Hart turned heel, Austin turned face, and Ken Shamrock was introduced to the WWF audience at the time. This match was brutal, and saved a lackluster ppv from being one of the worst Wrestlemania's ever. Austin doing push ups during the Sharpshooter, desperately trying to get out and bleeding all over, was just amazing.

I know, Austin has had a ton of greater matches but as far as a top 5, here are the greatest for me. Yes, he took on Jake The Snake, sure he took on Kane, Undertaker, Mankind, Dude Love, Triple H, and so many others, but I think these were great for me. All of these matches are featured on the Legacy of Stone Cold Steve Austin 3 Disc dvd set.

TNA Impact 2/3/11 No Results No Review

Well, there's no way I can review TNA this week. Unfortunately the sites that I usually depend on certain forums to help me get the shows, but this week the forums updated their files to sites that won't let me download past 6kbs which means I have to wait 8 hours to download and watch Impact.

I don't have cable, and don't have tv. I give up. I'll listen to a podcast and find out what happens.
