Christian vs Tommy Dreamer No Contest
Ecw on Scifi 4/28/09 Review
The show opened up with Christian. Tommy Dreamer came down to ringside and was basically asking for a title shot. Jack Swagger came down to ringside as well. He called Tommy Dreamer a joke, and said that Christian cheated. The result of this Segment was that we would get an ECW title match later in the show.
Tyson Kidd defeated Finlay
Finlay and Tyson Kidd went at it in this match, and it was really good. I don’t like Tyson Kidd’s hair cut, but he can really wrestle. The last of the Hart dungeon, he really does show that he can hack it inside the ring. That being said, this match had a lot of technical mat wrestling to it. That’s something we don’t really see too much from all the wwe superstars. Kidd was working on Finlay’s leg for a good portion of the match, obviously setting something up for later down the match’s pipeline. This match was good, it was nice to see a new comer getting such trust in the ring, as he took control of this match at several points and looked like he was a veteran at different times. Tyson Kidd edged out a win using Finlay’s on weapon to beat Finlay.
Christian vs Tommy Dreamer No Contest
I may have said in the past that Tommy Dreamer should quit, but he pulled out some great points in this match. He actually looked half way decent in this match. Christian wasn’t having the easiest of times controlling Tommy Dreamer, and it was interesting to note that the ECW championship title was on the line, on a television show! Tommy Dreamer was lined up to win this one, at least that’s the story that was unfolding during the match up. He set up Christian for the Tree of Woe and right before he could deliver the final strike, Jack Swagger ran down and interfered on purpose, the match getting thrown out. They never tell you what the result is, so I just say it was a no contest.
A short ECW, not a great show at all.

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/27/09 Review
The show opened up with Randy Orton and Priceless coming down to the ring, with the title belt as he is the new WWE Champion. Orton got on the mic and put everyone on notice, and right in the middle of his speech, MVP came out to interrupt him! That’s right MVP! MVP just got a huge push in my book as he got on the mic and was confident and overall great, the crowd was behind him, and this was a great start to the first Raw after Backlash. MVP will wrestle Orton, and this was new to me. MVP getting a push? Wow.
Kofi Kingston defeated The Brian Kendrick
The Brian Kendrick and Kofi Kingston was a stellar match up. These two were putting on a good fast paced show. There was a little bit of everything in this math, a little bit of mat wrestling, some great high flying action, and awesome counters from Kofi, as we finally got a taste of what the lighter guys could do in the ring. Kofi Kingston gets the win, even though Kendrick had some great offense in this match, sadly, The Kendrick is knocked down a peg, on his Raw debut.
Santina, Kelly Kelly, Brie Bella, Mickie James defeated Jillian, Maryse, Beth Phoenix, Eva Mendez
There was a little bit of comedy during this match with Hornswoggle and the Bella twins playing up comedy. Santina rolled up Jillian for the win, and this match was just a throwaway filler match, with no worthwhile action at all. It must be nice to be a wwe diva right now, you don’t have to wrestle, just stand at ringside as Santina wins with ease.
Matt Hardy defeated Goldust
At this point, I was tired. I get up at 4:30 am and watch Raw to review it, and was out of it. However, out came Goldust! That’s right, GOLDUST! I marked out huge for Goldust as he was set to wrestle Matt Hardy! Matt Hardy was out there with a cast on and he knocked out Goldust for the win. This match was terrible. It was a loss for Goldust, just a jobber match with Goldust in it. Lame.
MVP vs. Randy Orton ended in a No Contest when Shane McMahon interfered
MVP had this match “Ballin”! It was great to see the Champion getting worked over as MVP was getting some great shots in. Right before a commercial break MVP hit a huge kick, knocking Orton outside of the ring and it looked bad. Orton had MVP down and roughly nearly out after the break. So the tides turn, Orton was then applying rest holds for the continuation. I do believe this is the first time a secondary champion was given credit for his position. MVP made such a great move in this match up, nearly defeating the champion at several moments. Seriously, he had Orton down and nearly put away. He even hit the “Ballin” elbow, only for a 2 count; if nothing else this match was just a great entertaining piece of wrestling. Orton capitalized on some mistakes made by MVP, but right when things were picking up well, out came Shane McMahon from the crowd with a KENDO STICK! McMahon attacked Orton until the stick broke, then climbed to the top rope and hit a huge elbow drop, the rest of legacy came running down, but were too late.
As for MVP, he was on the outside f the ring, and the match was thrown out. I guess it s a double dq? No contest? I don’t know, the WWE never tells you what’s going on. MVP looked amazing in this match, I hope he gets a title shot and wins down the road, because he has that special extra talent, he has “it”.
The Miz challenged John Cena, and when Cena didn’t show up, declared himself the winner. This segment was lame.
The Colons defeated Chavo Guerrero & Jamie Noble
Usually I’m all about these tag team matches, but I hate how Chavo and Noble, two amazing competitors, just get thrown together for seemingly no apparent reason. I don’t like how this turned out, even though the match wasn’t all that bad overall. The Colon’s didn’t have an easy time winning, but they made the ending look easy, despite the great offense from Guerrero and Noble.
Batista defeated The Big Show
This match was mostly Big Show. Batista got a few shots in, but it was Batista that got the assist from John Cena. John Cena was at the ramp and caused Big Show to get counted out allowing Batista to go to Judgment Day for the big title match against Randy Orton.
After the dust settled this night of wrestling wasn’t all that good. They are setting up things for the future, and it is nice to see Cena and Triple H not in the spotlight, for a change. We’ll see how the WWE takes this forward.

WWE Backlash 2009 Review
After a weird week with my cable set up, I finally got things ironed out, at least I hoped. The 2009 Backlash ppv was looking to be quite strong on paper, but would it deliver? We’ll see…here is my review of sorts of Backlash 2009 WWE ppv.
Christian defeated Jack Swagger to win the ECW Championship
Right off the bat the ECW Championship was on the line. Ever since Christian came into the WWE he’s been fighting an uphill battle to get back to the main event spotlight. Jack Swagger has been “the man” over on ECW for so long that it was nice to see a little different event. This match started with a little back and forth, but moreover Jack Swagger was dominating, showing that he could manhandle Christian with his power. Swagger seemed one step ahead of Christian’s counters early on, and it was interesting to note that Swagger was made to look like the smarter wrestler, as he was definitely showing off his move set, which was a change for a champion in the WWE. Christian turned things around mid match by putting his knees up after Swagger tried a splash using the ropes. Christian got a second wind and looked poised to win with a top rope sunset flip, but it only garnered a two count. Swagger kept going for his gut wrench power bomb, but Christian kept fighting it off. Christian managed to pull a tornado ddt from the far corner, and it seemed mathematic at this point, but it was only a two count. The match progressed into near fall after near fall with neither opponent getting too close. A frustrated Swagger seemed to have things sewn up, but it was Christian that got the last laugh as he won this match and became the ECW champion! Christian is the new ECW champion. Christian used an exposed turnbuckle to set up the unprettier and the win.
Chris Jericho defeated Ricky The Dragon Steamboat
This match wasn’t that great. Sure the two competitors tried to put on a good show, but Ricky Steamboat is way past his prime. Steamboat started this match off with some basic mat wrestling, Jericho tried to brawl up front, but it didn’t seem to work out too well early on. Jericho took control of this match up with ease and started to systematically breakdown steamboat. A back suplex out the corner was a nice touch to an otherwise very slow moving match up. A bunch of nearfalls later, including the Walls of Jericho countered into a figure four, and we had ourselves an ok match up. However, it spun back into the Walls of Jericho for the win. Steamboat put up a good fight, but didn’t win this one, and Jericho once again wins.
Kane defeated CM Punk
I didn’t know this match was going to be on the card, but it was indeed interesting to see. The match started with Punk going all out to stop Kane. Kane was taking full control towards the mid match. Punk nearly got an STF, but wasn’t able to finish Kane, and was attempting to get the upper hand, but Kane seemed like he was going to win big. However, CM Punk was dropping bombs. After a huge choke slam, Kane picked up the victory.
Jeff Hardy defeated Matt Hardy in an I Quit Match
Jeff Hardy started this match straight up, fighting with all he had to seclude Matt Hardy. Matt had a lot of nothing to give early on, as Jeff had this thing sewn up early on. Jeff was putting on a clinic, putting his best moves forward. But Matt Hardy wasn’t going to lie down and just lose, the match turned around and Jeff Hardy was now on the receiving end of things. The match began to slow down tremendously, and towards the middle it was just random rest holds. The longest being a half Boston Crab by Matt on Jeff, that just seemed overkill for such a high profile match up. The match really had the crowd mesmerized as Matt Hardy was knocked out in ring and Jeff went outside to get a table. Jeff duct taped Matt’s legs and arms together all while on the table. He then tied him to the table with ropes! Jeff then proceeded to set up a ladder! Matt got on the mic and said he Loved Jeff and it was weird. Jeff climbed to the top of the ladder, Matt then quit; losing the match. However, Jeff still delivered a huge leg drop off the top rope through a table!
Santina defeated Beth Phoenix
The Great Khali was scheduled to kiss “Santina” at this point in the ppv. Santina claimed that she was in love with Jim Ross and that she couldn’t kiss Great Khali. Khali agreed not to kiss Santina if she kissed JR! Beth Phoenix came out and told everyone that Santina was really Santino! Khali hit Beth Phoenix in the head, and then pushed her over! Santina then jumped into action and pinned Beth Phoenix! This is the weirdest piece of ppv history ever in the WWE.
Post match Santina ran out of the ring clutching his/her chest! So much or that pg rating huh?
Ted Dibiase Jr, Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton defeated Shane McMahon, Batista, and Triple H
Randy Orton is the new WWE Championship
This match bega with a complete melee; Triple H and Orton immediately took each other outside of the ring, and down the ramp. Triple H returned without Orton and it seemed to be two on three. At least at first, as Cody Rhodes ad Ted Dibiase were stuck trying to battle the McMahon team. Shane & Cody got things started as the bell rang and the match started out, and then it was Triple H and Batista that were working over Priceless with ease. Batista hit a nice delayed vertical suplex, and it was better if not as good as The Franchise Shane Douglas! Batista put on a clinic in there, beating the crap out of Cody and Ted. He stopped short of delivering the Batista Bomb. Randy Orton ran down to the ring, and brought himself back into the match up. He fought off Batista’s attack and brought the match to their favor. It seemed like whenever one team got on a roll, it was turned over immediately with a hot tag, making for a nice fast paced match, but no clear story, which isn’t terrible, but it just seemed different from the traditional six man tag fair that the WWE usually throws at us on ppv. I spoke too soon, because moments later this match up turned into a slower paced match as Shane Mcmahon was isolated in the ring against Cody Rhodes. Priceless then took turns working over Shane McMahon in this match up, and it looked like he was on his way to getting pinned. The ring cleared and only two people were left in the match up, and Triple H was knocked out with an RKO! Then after a very false finish with the bell rung and all, the ref distracted Orton punted the crap out of Triple H and pinned him. Batista essentially cost Triple H the belt because he distracted the ref and well…I’m doing a terrible job explaining it all, it was really chaotic at the end. Wow…Triple H finally loses. Randy Orton pinned Triple H and afterwards was carried out on a stretcher as Triple H was kicked really hard in the head. I don’t think he was seriously injured, but it looked bad. Maybe this is going to mark a break for Triple H for a while now. Who knows?
The crowd was yelling at Batista left and right. Death to Batista etc; Triple H was wheeled out of the ringside area via the ramp on a full stretcher.
Edge defeated John Cena in the World Championship Last Man Standing match
This match started out slow, and I wasn’t really into it. I have seen these guys wrestle way too much in my lifetime. I don’t know if anyone really cared about this match, as it was really not going strong at all for me, and while the crowd to be into it somewhat, I wasn’t at all. Edge had some rest hold in and continued to just try to rest hold Cena to death. He had a sleeper hold locked in for a good 8 to 10 minutes. The action spilled outside, proving once again that this match might have some valid points. However, the two men moved back into the ring for more. Cena brought the steel steps into the ring, and was keen on using them to knockout Edge. Edge was the one that capitalized on using the stairs as a weapon in this match, hitting Cena square in the shoulders with them after a running Baseball Slide into the corner. John Cena lifted the steps and threw them at Edge outside of the ring, hitting Edge square in the face with them, and nearly knocking him out. The lamest part of this match was that both competitors nearly knocked each other out with punches. Yep. Punches. They made it interesting with Edge trying a “You Can’t See Me” which led John Cena to hit the STF! Edge was tapping like a drunk man, but it wasn’t helping at all. Cena hit a mid rope Attitude Adjustment and this thing looked said and done. Edge was completely out, and it did look good, as it waked up the crowd and made me almost interested in this match up. Cena leaped off the top rope but Edge caught him in mid air and hit a SPEAR! This looked like the End for sure. Edge then propped Cena onto the announcers table outside the ring and it was to no avail! Cena dumped Edge onto the first three rows of FANS! That’s right, EDGE was thrown into the first three ROWS OF FANS! The two guys managed to get themselves to the ramp area and shades of Royal Rumble 99 hit me. Edge then hit a nice ddt on the ramp! Cena looked out cold, but I knew it wasn’t over. This match slowly turned me into a believer as I really wanted to see who would win this one. The Big Show came out! The Big Show then grabbed Cena and dropped him off the side of a Stage into a weird Electrical unit that Exploded! Yep. This weird glass, electrical light fixture completed exploded with Cena inside! It was a really interesting lighting effect and Edge won this match! Edge is the NEW World Heavyweight champion!
Not a bad ppv. That ending was great. I wanted C.M Punk to cash in Money in the Bank right then and there, but it didn’t look like it was in the cards. It looked marvelous seriously, it looked amazing, Cena took a sweet bump right into the stage lights and the explosion rocked the crowd and it looked legit. I liked how it turned out.
That ending sealed the deal. Edge champion, wow; Orton and Edge are now champions.
Good overall ppv. Cena looked dead.

Yeah, I know it sucks, but you should consider getting the full WWE Backlash ppv via your cable operator. I have been shelling out money for the ppv's because there doesn't seem to be another way to really get it in full motion video. I tried getting a stream of WWE PPV but it gets shut down immediately.

WWE Friday NightSmackdown 4/24/09 Review
Edge started the night with an in ring mic and started to random talking crap. Edge claims that there will be a final end at the ppv this weekend.
Matt Hardy & Kane defeated Jeff Hardy & C.M. Punk
Matt and Jeff didn’t star this thing, with Jeff staring against Kane. Matt Hardy then took advantage of Jeff’s tiresome battle against Kane, jumping in and hitting as many of his moves as he could, forcing Hardy to try and simply survive. For having so much talent in this match, it really as slow to build anything worthwhile, as the match got a little boring. A Whisper in the Wind grounded Matt and Punk fought off Kane outside of the ring, leaving the two brothers in ring alone. Jeff got shoved into Kane, who was on the apron, and Matt rolled up Jeff for a pinfall victory yet again.
The Big Show defeated The Undertaker
The Big Show and The Undertaker put some stupid wrestling match on. This match was dumb, slow and stupid. The Undertaker had a few shots in, but it was The Big Show hitting two right hands and The Undertaker looked dazed and the referee called the match. STUPID! The Undertaker has wrestled Big Show many times and many times before has choked him out, but this time he acts punch drunk and stupid. Thanks WWE you have insulted the fans this time. But, that’s fine, I hear Undertaker is on his last ride with the WWE.
Maryse defeated Gail Kim in a Divas Championship Match
Maryse was in control of this match early on, with several rest moves on Gail Kim. Maryse is not that great of a wrestler and it showed a lot during this match up. Gail Kim hit an impressive Huricanrana but couldn’t get the pinfall. She then went to the top rope as Maryse was trying to leave the match and forfeit, retaining her title, but things got turned around as she lured Gail Kim away from her game plan. Maryse hit her ddt finisher and won via pinfall.
MVP defeated Chavo Guerrero
This was just another example of Chavo Guerrero getting jobbed out. Chavo didn’t get much offense in, MVP had full control at all times and hit his finishing move and it was over. What a waste of time.
Post match, Dolph Ziggler came out to challenge MVP for a title shot sooner than later.
Batista & Shane McMahon defeated Priceless
Shane McMahon shouldn’t be wrestling. However, he does play up the face in peril, with Priceless using him as a punching bag in the ring. Batista and Shane were working well together and before the primary commercial break, they were cleaning house. They were fighting well and clearing the ring with lots of power moves from Batista and fast connecting rights and lefts from Shane. When we returned from the commercial break the match broke down and Shan McMahon was isolated for easy pickings by Priceless. Batista snuck in for a spinebuster behind the Referee’s back and Shane picked up the pinfall win!
Overall the WWE Smackdown show wasn’t that bad. It had a few good matches, but a lot of it was nothing you should be too concerned about. For being the last show before the big ppv, the wwe didn’t really capitalize, so I hope the ppv lives up to the hype, otherwise we’re looking at another mediocre ppv from the WWE.
