Everyone was excited to hear that there would be a Casket Match on tonight’s Smckdown, however when I heard who would face the Undertaker I was less than thrilled. Yep, tonight we would get none other than Chavo Guerrero against the dead man in the Casket Match! Lame. Jim Ross and Tazz were dressed up for Halloween, it was hilarious!
John Morrison & The Miz defeated Carlito & Primo
I just wanted to say that I hate Non-Title matches, they are stupid and fans that pay to go see these events should get treated to title defenses, if you ask me. I give Morrison a lot of crap, but the guy can go in the ring. Carlito was getting the better of him early on, but Morrison was holding his own in there for a while, and despite his earlier work in WWE, he’s getting a lot better and is looking nearly like a Veteran. The Colon’s once again isolated the ring and worked extremely well, I haven’t seen Carlito so invigorated in the ring since his debut and Intercontinental championship run. Highlight of the match was a double arm drag on Morrison onto a Miz, who was on the outside! Then after the commercial break things looked to have turned around, but it was short lived to say the least, as Carlito and Primo were just working like a solid team. Jim Ross compared Miz and Morrison to Mr. Perfect and Ravishing Rick Rude! That was just stupid. Morrison and Miz put together quite the fight in the last part of this match, and I was finally impressed with how they work as a team. The crowd was firmly behind The Colon brothers in this one, and I was surprised they have gotten so much fan fare in such a short amount of time. Carlito had the match one it seemed, but Miz turned things around, Morrison dropped Carlito, and Miz took advantage, pinning Carlito for the victory. Overall a good match up and a solid opener, The Miz and Morrison really look good as a team and they are really starting to get a push, and will most likely get buried on Monday against Dx.
Jimmy Wang Yang defeated The Brian Kendrick via Disqualification
One of my favorite wrestlers put on another show. He was definitely bringing in shades of Brian Pillman, and was growing frustrated in the early goings of this match as Jimmy Wang Yang was getting the better of him. I though Wang got fired? Whatever, he was putting on quite the show early on, but eventually the tables were turned by Kendrick who put the boots to Yang with some great heavy hitting moves, focusing mainly on the shoulder of Jimmy Wang Yang. Yang turned things around again and looked set to win the match but Ezekiel pulled Kendrick out before he could lose the match. Ezekiel then fought Yang and dropped him like a sack of potatoes and Kendrick then gave him The Kendrick for good measure.
Once again, for the record, The Great Khali kiss cam sucks. Why waste your talent with this? It’s stupid to consider that just a few months back Khali was wrestling Triple H for the world title, and now look at him he’s in midcard hell kissing ugly (no offense) women on his “kiss cam” segment. It’s just stupid, and I hope the WWE starts to change things with Khali, this waste of talent thing is boring me completely.
The Hardy Boyz, and Rey Mysterio defeated Kane, Mvp, and Mark Henry
This match is a perfect example as to why there shouldn’t be any brand separation. There are six guys in there and all of them are on different brands however they are all wrestling on a Smackdown show? Yeah, they should just forget the draft and let it be a free for all, it would make for way more exciting cards.
The match started with Mark Henry dominating, and MVP getting some great offense in for a change. It’s about time that MVP got some offense in, however that wasn’t huge, because Rey Mysterio tagged in and since they were in his Home town, he got in and cleaned house, giving MVP everything but the kitchen sink. Too bad for MVP, he must have done something wrong in WWE cause he’s been on a downward spiral for a long time now. Mysterio nearly wins the match early on with a splash off the top rope onto MVP. This thing was breaking at the seams early on which was awesome! Lots of high spots, lots of quick moves, everyone seemed to be bringing their A game, and then Kane pulled Mysterio out of the ring and onto the floor, and the tables turned towards the bad guy’s favor! However, this was very short, and the good guys all dropped their best moves. Splashes to the outside, Swanton Bombs, Old School Hardy moves, and MVP once again gets pinned on Smackdown and the good guys put on a show for the San Diego crowd (the 619 for those of you from So Cal).
Once again I want to point out that Kizarny SUCKS!
Kozlov and Triple H nearly went to blows in the ring as Kozlov wants a title shot. Triple H said that just like the Rocky movies he would beat up the Russian, and nothing happened. Lame.
Michelle McCool, Maria, and Brie Bella defeated Maryse, Victoria, and Natalya
I don’t like any of these divas. Natalya can wrestle, that’s for sure and Victoria can too, but I never see anything really that good from the Divas division. Not like the beloved TNA Knockout division that has some great wrestling. This is a standard divas match up, and wasn’t really that good. With so much wrestling that the divas actually do a year, you would think they would start to put on better wrestling matches, instead of this same cookie cutter match ups filled with botched moves and horrible endings. Oh well, I guess the WWE will never learn. Maria dove off the top rope and picked up the win over Victoria in one of the worst matches in Smackdown women’s wrestling history.
The Undertaker defeated Chavo Guerrero in a Casket Match
I didn’t expect this match to be very good at all, and while I personally love the old Casket Matches, this just seemed tired somehow. The Undertaker was in clear control of Chavo Guerrero and rightfully so, Chavo hasn’t been relevant to today’s youth for a long time. Every time that Undertaker would try to drop Chavo in, The Big Show would shut the casket lid, and the Undertaker couldn’t throw him in there. That meant that Chavo had to take a lot of punishment for no apparent reason. However, then The Undertaker stormed the ring and started dropping big right hands onto Taker, and I knew where this was going. Remember Royal Rumble 1994? Where a million wrestlers came out and beat up Undertaker to put him into the Casket? I was expecting this to happen. It looked that way, but Big Show ran up the ring and Chavo was eventually thrown into the casket, and it was closed! Undertaker puts away Chavo in this Casket Match for the easy victory and you know what? Why? This is stupid. What a lousy main event, and what a lousy opponent to have Undertaker wrestle. I hated how this all turned out.
Big news!
Kozlov must defeat The Undertaker next week and if he does, he will get Triple H at Survivor Series! NOW THAT’s RELEVANT TO TODAY’S YOUTH!

TNA Impact 10/30/08 The Making of the Mafia
I hate the tag lines. Th new TNA intro is exactly like the old RAW is War/Attitude era WWE intro, complete with rain, cages, and women. I hope this doesn’t suck.
The show starts with Aj Styles and Samoa Joe ranting about how no one helped them when they were beating up the Main Event Mafia. Joe is out there and he looked pissed too. It’s hilarious. These guys don’t need to open the show, we need more wrestling, less talk. The Motor City Machine Guns and the rest of the tna roster hits the ring to join the two, but the guns don’t really want to join the revolution of sorts. Samoa Joe slaps one member of the Machine Guns, and her comes the Main Event Mafia! They take turns on the mic and I’m bored, you should be bored too. The Main Event Mafia declares war tonight on Impact!
Christy Hemme & ODB defeated The Beautiful People
Not a horrible match, this had Hemme starting out and ODB coming in with quick tags, these two really have a good amount of talent and work together well. The Beautiful people are good at taking bumps, well about as good as I’ve seen from so called “model” wrestlers. Velvet Sky took advantage of a quick ref distraction and The Beautiful People took control of the match and things were looking bad for Hemme and ODB. The middle of this match was boring, and while The knockouts are usually good at wrestling, this time around they seemed a little out of it. The Beautiful People weren’t exactly all that good at all towards the end of this match and really showed that they need more in ring work. ODB looked great, and I’m always impressed by her athleticism if not by the stupid gimmick she has. ODB gets the win on this one, and it’s all over.
Eric Young defeated James Storm
Apparently the whole TNA war angle is NOT applicable to the tag team division. This match wasn’t all that bad, it was actually kind of cool. Eric Young defeated James Storm after a misfire distraction from his partner, and gets the win in a short match. There wasn’t a whole lot to mention in this one. It was quick, easy, and painless.
What happened to the Super Eric gimmick? I’m just saying.
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Tanahashi & Volador
First and foremost, The Machine Guns need to get better intro music. They need something heavier than their treble heavy guitar hero style music. They need something from the band “Godsmack” like “I Stand Alone” or something like that. Trust me, I know these things.
This immediately broke into a high flying match with the foreign wrestlers making themselves look amazing, as both guys were doing the Japan/Lucha style to start the match up. The Machine Guns turned the table and they pulled off a win with The Cradle Shock and things were over fast. The start of this match was amazing, however, the turn in the middle and the ending was lame. This was too short of a match to warrant a lot of praises, so I’ll just say this one was watchable but not by much.
Samoa Joe & Aj Styles defeated Booker T & Kevin Nash
Kevin Nash is NOT in his prime and to see him out there trying to wrestle Aj is just lame to me. Styles did turn the tables around a little, however the show went to commercial break. When we return things were back in business with Booker T messing up Samoa Joe. Joe looked good returning some of the shots to Booker T, but Booker is just way too fast. He is just so good, Booker T is amazing here, and Joe looked winded at times, and then Kevin Nash came in and started to drop elbows onto Joe. The veterans looked great, even though Nash is older, he had some problems lifting Joe for the sidewalk slam, but other than that things were actually picking up a little. The end came when Booker T missed a scissors kick, then hit the Pele kick for the clean pin over Booker T.
Abyss defeated Kurt Angle via disqualification
This match started with Abyss really taking it to Kurt Angle. I liked that Angle wasn’t able to dominate this match at all. He was getting worked so much that he eventually left ringside and tried to leave through the crowd! After the commercial break, Kurt Angle attacked Abyss by hitting his legs and trying to make the big man go down. He was setting him up for the Ankle Lock submission. (Stolen from Ken Shamrock’s WWE Run) Abyss had a second wind but ran into a Blackhole Slam from Abyss and after the near fall, I had my doubts as to how this match was going to end. Angle hit the Olympic slam and that couldn’t get the big man down! Kurt Angle faked an injury, went outside grabbed a chair and leveled Abyss with it, and lost the match due to disqualification. He then went inside and locked on the Ankle Lock submission. Abyss kept trying to fight, but then Angle was trying to scrape Abyss’ back where he is supposedly burned on. Lame. Angle continues to beat up Abyss until Matt Morgan runs down and starts to level the former champ.
Didn’t Angle defeat Matt Morgan already? Yeah. This is lame to me. Out came the Main Event Mafia and started to beat down Matt Morgan, Morgan started to fight back but Kevin Nash came into the ring and knocked out Matt Morgan and Abyss with a steel chair! The fight member of the Main Event Mafia showed up as the TNA originals ran into the ring, and guess who he was?

Overanalyzing Wrestling: Christian Edition
The funniest thing to come out of wrestling this week didn't happen on any show. The funny thing about wrestling behind the scene's is stranger than anything that can be presented on screen. So check this out, Boogeyman and Booker T are hanging out together and they go to a sports bar to watch an NFL game. They get asked to leave because Boogey has a cross necklace on and its against the dress code. Before anything could go down however, Booker and Boogey leave. Sad huh? Can you imagine if the bar owners fought Boogeyman and Booker T? That would be incredibly hilarious to me. Look for Boogeyman to make his return on Halloween...or not.
Did you hear about Evan Bourne? Kid's done for 4 months thanks a legit injury on ECW. That's right, Evan Bourne suffered a legit injury. He tore ligaments in his ankle. This means that Vinnie Mac is once again going to ground the cruiserweights, as if there were many to talk about. This is a sad thing for Bourne, he was getting a good push through the WWE ranks. I wonder how it is that the mexican Lucha Libre stars are able to have a high flying offense and yet they don't have nearly as many injuries as the WWE stars. It's just funny to me.
In recent comments made by Y2J, he said that punching Shawn Michael's wife was tough but that it all worked out. I remember when that went down, it was nuts, Chris Jericho got real heat on that one, that's for sure.
This week in wrestling has been lackluster so far, to say the least. I mean there was a few good moments, but overall I'm not as excited as I once was. I am not sure if I ever will be marking out as much as I did when I was a little kid watching Hogan and Andre battle it out. However, I'm still here, don't worry.
Here's a classic match for you guys from vaults of WCW:
War Games 1989 from The Great American Bash:
The Road Warriors, The Midnight Express and Steve Williams vs. The Fabulous Freebirds and The Samoan Swat Team

ECW 10/28/08 Review and Results
I had no hopes for ECW this week, I just didn’t expect a whole lot, and plus…Teddy Long started the show with a laughable costume. So I wasn’t keen on seeing good stuff tonight.
Mark Henry, Bam Neely, and Chavo Guerrero defeated Evan Bourne, Finlay, and Matt Hardy
I know I haven’t been on Chavo’s side in a long time, but I think that with the right storyline we can see a turn in Chavo. In fact, we could see a positive crowd towards him. However, this is not the future and people hate Chavo out there. The match was good, each man got in his moves and once again Evan Bourne was going to town, however he looked to have injured his ankle as he threw himself out of the ring. Evan Bourne, after that real looking injury was getting manhandled by Neely and Mark Henry after a quick commercial break. The bad guys were looking great in this time, working as a team, quick tags and putting on a good show. I liked this match, it wasn’t as bad as I expected, however you’ve probably already seen this before, and while I appreciate the effort, it just seems recycled to me. The best parts of this match involved Evan Bourne and Matt Hardy, with both really getting the better of their opponents at different parts of the match. Hornswoggle doing a suicide dive into Tony Atlas was also hilarious. The end of the match happened when the ring was cleared out and Chavo dove off the top rope with a frog splash onto Matt Hardy, for the clean victory. Chavo might be getting a shot at the title sooner than later. I’d like to see him as a strong champion, but I doubt it will happen.
They are really showcasing all things John Cena! Seriously, this is hilarious. I hope he gets a heel turn.
Jack Swagger defeated Tommy Dreamer
Honestly, I don’t know why Tommy Dreamer still has a job. No offense to the man himself, but come on, he’s the only real ECW original still on the show and he hasn’t shown any of that old time Ecw flare. In fact, he doesn’t show the heart he did back then, as he now wrestles the safer wwe style. This match wasn’t all that great, Swagger looked good, but he lacks a little something, I’m not sure what. Tommy Dreamer did get in a lot of offense, trying to teach Swagger a lesson, but the much bigger wrestler was just too much for Dreamer. This match was laughable at best. So laughable that Dreamer even missed his running bulldog, screwing it up, Swagger still sold it. There was an impressive northern lights suplex counter by Swagger, which was the best thing I’ve seen in wrestling in a long time. In fact, Swagger’s counters make him look amazing compared to dreamer. Swagger wins clean, as he does some random gut wrench looking slam. Dreamer loses again.
The Dirt Sheet
Miz and Morrison took to the ring to do their online show live, the Dirt Sheet Hit the air. This was hilarious and disrespectful indeed. I liked it, but I would have much rather had more wrestling than just two matches.

WWE Raw 10/27/08 Review and Results
Chris Jericho opened the show, and he looked pissed! Of course we would get fallout from yesterdays ppv…and some epic matches…I hoped…Here is what went down.
Jericho & Batista will fight next week in a Steel Cage match for the world title!
Mike Adamle got a verbal lashing by Randy Orton! Adamle then punched Randy Orton, Orton threatened to quit if Adamle wasn’t fired next week!
This opening wasn’t half bad. I would have preferred wrestling, but something is going to happen between the two. Expect an Orton Adamle match sooner than later, or at least Adamle as ref or enforcer. Adamle really did look mad, and I thought Orton was going to knock him out, but instead he walked away like a wuss. The crowd was insane going with the “You Suck” chant, my personal favorite.
Kofi Kingston & Cm Punk defeated Ted Dibiase & Cody Rhodes (tag team title match)
Punk and Kingston were working well as a team and the announcers kept stressing that they could win the world tag titles in this match up. They really had team Priceless getting worked. It was a good match overall with Kingston and Punk really working over the champions, and the champs just looked like they didn’t prepare at all for this match up. Kingston and Punk had the crowd squarely behind them as they really tried to work over the champions. We then cut to commercial…and on the return from the break the team of Rhodes and Dibiase were in full control of CM Punk. This was a good part of the match, the tag champs didn’t rely on a lot of rest holds as usual, and really started to put the boots onto Kingston and Punk. They also did a lot of quick tags so that you didn’t get bored and the Crowd was firmly behind the good guys in this match up. It wasn’t boring at all, and we had a few surprise near falls by Kingston who was taking the majority of the punishment near the end of this match up. Punk got the hot tag and things really got exciting. The team then decimated the tag champions and Punk went through his moves and right when Dibiase was to land his move, Punk held onto the ropes and then delivered the GTS for the win! Kofi Kingston and CM Punk are your NEW World Tag Team Champions!
My only problem with this match is that the new champions are a “hot shot” team. This is NOT a tag team it’s simply two singles wrestlers the wwe threw together. I hate when they do this to the titles. Oh well, it was an exciting match up.
Goldust, Roddy Piper, and Honky Tonk Man were doing color commentary for the next match!
Santino vs. Charlie “Glamahaas” Haas (no contest)
Charlie came out dressed as Beth Phoenix, and paid for it as Santino started the match immediately fighting Haas. He then slapped The Honky Tonk man, that prompted the former IC champs to rush the ring, and Santino got hit in the head with a Honky Tonk Man Guitar! The champion was knocked out cold! The match was then thrown out!
Great segment, hilarious! It’s great to see The Honky Tonk man NOT job to Santino!
Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, and Candice Michelle defeated Layla, Katie Lea, and Jillian Hall
Another boring six man tag match. (I should say woman) This match was predictable and short. I didn’t even enjoy it, as by the time I started to really pay attention to this match up it was over. Who cares about the divas? Not me.
Rey Mysterio defeated Evan Bourne
I can’t believe they gave this away for free. This match seemed to be something that ppv matches are made out of. Mysterio was the one that looked bad in this match, although the two did end up getting into a stale mate of sorts, knowing exactly where the next move was coming from. The two were really challenged and you really didn’t know who was going to take this match. Evan Bourne took control with Mysterio making subtle mistakes and Bourne capitalizing. Mysterio however was right there to block some major offense, and eventually connected with The 619! I thought for sure this thing was over but Evan Bourne went for a rolling pin, but Rey countered for the clean victory! Match of the week already! This match was great, Mysterio really looked impressive against a younger Evan Bourne. This won’t be the last time we see these two wrestle against each other, I’m sure as these guys put together a good looking fast paced cruiserweight match up. WWE should bring back the Cruiserweight championship and put it on Evan Bourne, as he and Mysterio went to work for real!
Post match Kane came out to attack Rey and Bourne jumped in, the two lightweights went to work on Kane and Kane was really taking a beating for once! Mark Henry then came out and the two giants took Mysterio and Bourne and beat the crap out of them. I hate when this happens. I hate that the smaller wrestler always has to wrestle someone three times his size, and then get killed. I am a big fan of David and Goliath style matches, but this is getting ridiculous, I’m sorry, this is just stupid to me.
Batista & Shawn Michaels defeated Chris Jericho & JBL
Batista wrestled both JBL and Jericho in this match and he was doing alright for himself. The champion was holding his own against Jericho mainly, and JBL just watched in the corner as Batista tried to make this match somewhat memorable. Jericho and JBL however made sure that Batista was not going to be 100% next week during his cage match as they really took advantage of the rules in this one and were landing all sorts of stiff shots when the ref was distracted. This match wasn’t too bad, as Batista’s power moves were nice in comparison to the previous match of high spots and in ring acrobatics. Jericho was thrown into the announcers table, as JBL was looking on the outside, and Batista looked great at the break. Of course when the break was over Batista was getting worked again. He looked to be in trouble during this match and rightfully so, as he was taking on two opponents. However, Shawn Michaels came down the ramp and got into this match up. He didn’t do a whole lot, but he helped Batista to get the pin!

Overall, this edition of Raw wasn’t half bad. I liked it. However, there were a lot of dead spots in this night of wrestling. Maybe next week’s 3 hour show will be better. As for other WWE programming, I’m really looking forward to the Smackdown show as it will feature a Casket Match! I can’t wait for that. It’s like 1998 all over again!

Jericho & Batista will fight next week in a Steel Cage match for the world title!
Mike Adamle got a verbal lashing by Randy Orton! Adamle then punched Randy Orton, Orton threatened to quit if Adamle wasn’t fired next week!
This opening wasn’t half bad. I would have preferred wrestling, but something is going to happen between the two. Expect an Orton Adamle match sooner than later, or at least Adamle as ref or enforcer. Adamle really did look mad, and I thought Orton was going to knock him out, but instead he walked away like a wuss. The crowd was insane going with the “You Suck” chant, my personal favorite.
Kofi Kingston & Cm Punk defeated Ted Dibiase & Cody Rhodes (tag team title match)
Punk and Kingston were working well as a team and the announcers kept stressing that they could win the world tag titles in this match up. They really had team Priceless getting worked. It was a good match overall with Kingston and Punk really working over the champions, and the champs just looked like they didn’t prepare at all for this match up. Kingston and Punk had the crowd squarely behind them as they really tried to work over the champions. We then cut to commercial…and on the return from the break the team of Rhodes and Dibiase were in full control of CM Punk. This was a good part of the match, the tag champs didn’t rely on a lot of rest holds as usual, and really started to put the boots onto Kingston and Punk. They also did a lot of quick tags so that you didn’t get bored and the Crowd was firmly behind the good guys in this match up. It wasn’t boring at all, and we had a few surprise near falls by Kingston who was taking the majority of the punishment near the end of this match up. Punk got the hot tag and things really got exciting. The team then decimated the tag champions and Punk went through his moves and right when Dibiase was to land his move, Punk held onto the ropes and then delivered the GTS for the win! Kofi Kingston and CM Punk are your NEW World Tag Team Champions!
My only problem with this match is that the new champions are a “hot shot” team. This is NOT a tag team it’s simply two singles wrestlers the wwe threw together. I hate when they do this to the titles. Oh well, it was an exciting match up.
Goldust, Roddy Piper, and Honky Tonk Man were doing color commentary for the next match!
Santino vs. Charlie “Glamahaas” Haas (no contest)
Charlie came out dressed as Beth Phoenix, and paid for it as Santino started the match immediately fighting Haas. He then slapped The Honky Tonk man, that prompted the former IC champs to rush the ring, and Santino got hit in the head with a Honky Tonk Man Guitar! The champion was knocked out cold! The match was then thrown out!
Great segment, hilarious! It’s great to see The Honky Tonk man NOT job to Santino!
Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, and Candice Michelle defeated Layla, Katie Lea, and Jillian Hall
Another boring six man tag match. (I should say woman) This match was predictable and short. I didn’t even enjoy it, as by the time I started to really pay attention to this match up it was over. Who cares about the divas? Not me.
Rey Mysterio defeated Evan Bourne
I can’t believe they gave this away for free. This match seemed to be something that ppv matches are made out of. Mysterio was the one that looked bad in this match, although the two did end up getting into a stale mate of sorts, knowing exactly where the next move was coming from. The two were really challenged and you really didn’t know who was going to take this match. Evan Bourne took control with Mysterio making subtle mistakes and Bourne capitalizing. Mysterio however was right there to block some major offense, and eventually connected with The 619! I thought for sure this thing was over but Evan Bourne went for a rolling pin, but Rey countered for the clean victory! Match of the week already! This match was great, Mysterio really looked impressive against a younger Evan Bourne. This won’t be the last time we see these two wrestle against each other, I’m sure as these guys put together a good looking fast paced cruiserweight match up. WWE should bring back the Cruiserweight championship and put it on Evan Bourne, as he and Mysterio went to work for real!
Post match Kane came out to attack Rey and Bourne jumped in, the two lightweights went to work on Kane and Kane was really taking a beating for once! Mark Henry then came out and the two giants took Mysterio and Bourne and beat the crap out of them. I hate when this happens. I hate that the smaller wrestler always has to wrestle someone three times his size, and then get killed. I am a big fan of David and Goliath style matches, but this is getting ridiculous, I’m sorry, this is just stupid to me.
Batista & Shawn Michaels defeated Chris Jericho & JBL
Batista wrestled both JBL and Jericho in this match and he was doing alright for himself. The champion was holding his own against Jericho mainly, and JBL just watched in the corner as Batista tried to make this match somewhat memorable. Jericho and JBL however made sure that Batista was not going to be 100% next week during his cage match as they really took advantage of the rules in this one and were landing all sorts of stiff shots when the ref was distracted. This match wasn’t too bad, as Batista’s power moves were nice in comparison to the previous match of high spots and in ring acrobatics. Jericho was thrown into the announcers table, as JBL was looking on the outside, and Batista looked great at the break. Of course when the break was over Batista was getting worked again. He looked to be in trouble during this match and rightfully so, as he was taking on two opponents. However, Shawn Michaels came down the ramp and got into this match up. He didn’t do a whole lot, but he helped Batista to get the pin!

Overall, this edition of Raw wasn’t half bad. I liked it. However, there were a lot of dead spots in this night of wrestling. Maybe next week’s 3 hour show will be better.
