WWE Survivor Series 2008 Results and Review
Here we go, the biggest night in November, and the Thanksgiving tradition is alive and well for all of you out there that remember when The WWF used to have these events the night before the big Thanksgiving day. It’s interesting to say the least, and what a night it used to be. Tonight, we saw a comeback, and more interesting storylines moving forward. This is how it all went down:
Shawn Michaels, Cryme Tyme, The Great Khali, and Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated JBL, MVP, The Miz & John Morrison, and Kane
The match started out in favor of the good guys, and right when MVP thought he had gotten a chance at a comeback, Khali jumped in and knocked him out, eliminating MVP! The momentum continued as Rey Mysterio and Khali teamed up to take out Kane, Kane was then eliminated from the match via a Rey Mysterio super splash! This match was going the way of the good guys, and why not? It seemed obvious o me that they were going to take over, but there were moments when Miz and Morrison took things over to their side, especially when eliminating Cryme Tyme leaving team HBK down and struggling towards the middle of the matchup. Things were not looking good for Hbk as his eye was busted open the hard way and the heels took advantage of this by hitting him with stiff shots whenever he seemed to bounce back. Mysterio was cleaning house, eliminating the Miz, only to lose sight and get nearly demolished by JBL on a blind tag in. So much so, that Mysterio was taking most of the attack by Morrison and JBL, the last two left in the match up after the Miz elimination left them short handed. Where was kane? I don’t know, he seemed to have been eliminated somewhere or something…I don’t know, my reception was screwed up and I missed a few key moments, cause I’m an idiot. JBL finally gets counted out, HBK then ducks a super kick from Morrison and delivers the real deal on Morrison and things went south for team JBL. The winners and sole survivors are Khali, HBK and Rey Mysterio Jr!
Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Jillian, Candice Michelle, and Kelly Kelly defeated Michelle McCool, Maryse, Natalya, Victoria & Maria
You’re going to have to forgive me on this one, as I’m not the biggest fan of the divas, and I’m probably going to miss some of the action, as I was in the middle of something else during this match, but then again….maybe not. The two women’s champions started this match up and they were looking good. However, dissension in the ranks caused the heel team to crumble immediately. Maryse pushed McCool, and things broke out into a melee! Was this a shoot? Was this a work? I don’t know, it looked good for a minute. However, Maria got a blind tag, and this thing started to come apart fast. Beth Phoenix is just too good for a lot of these other divas, but I give the others credit, as they were sure giving it their best shot, even if the wrestling was just slow to begin with. Victoria is the first woman eliminated, and once again, I don’t know why she’s jobbing out! I wonder if she’s on her way out of wrestling? It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me to have her first eliminated. Whatever the case is, things were going south fast for the Raw side of the coin as there were two eliminations back to back. I was really impressed with how far Michelle McCool has come as far as wrestling is concerned. She threw in some great movies in there and I thought things were going well for her against Mickie James, however, a quick mistake from Maria (trying to save Michelle) cost her the elimination as Mickie James got the better of her, and things were going once again well for the Raw side. That prompted Maryse to jump in and eliminate Mickie James. Then things felt a little more even. Candice eliminated Natalya, and Maryse was stuck with Maria as the Raw side had a clear advantage of 3 on 2. Jillian dropped Maria with a samoan drop and I thought this match was over fast. Maria, pulled out a victory over Jillian for the elimination but then was quickly eliminated by Candice, and Maryse was left to fend off two of the Raw women. Maryse then eliminated Candice and we had Maryse against Beth Phoenix at the end of this match up. Beth was getting worked, and Maryse was showing that she’s not just a pretty face, and I was finally getting into this divas match up! Beth Phoenix wasn’t having it though, and after her finishing move, eliminated Maryse and won the match for the Raw side of things!
The Undertaker defeated Big Show in a Casket Match
I’m not sure why they insist on having Undertaker start all his matches in boxing stance, he’s not a brawler, he’s more than that, he’s the DEADMAN! Taker tries early on to get Big Show in the casket, but Show quickly moves out of the way and the two start brawling outside of the ring, which is exactly how these things should go. This should turn into a complete brawl, and not a technical wrestling showcase. Taker manages to drop a leg onto Show through the announce table, and this match is coming apart at the seems. Undertaker matches have become a bit formulaic, and just like all the great wrestlers of the past, these things go in cycles, and while Big Show let Taker take an early lead, a quick suplex off the middle rope got things back in favor of Big Show, and the Undertaker looked like a mere mortal yet again. But of course, he sat up! He dropped Show off the middle rope with a powerful choke slam and I thought it was over! However, Show took control again and dropped Taker with a chokeslam and then went to town on the casket and basically broke it, so that you couldn’t get locked inside! Then Show, like a jerk, started to walk out on the match, quitting! A chorus of boo’s were heard but Taker once again rose from the dead and the chase was on! This was great timing, as Kane’s pyro hit and stopped Show from leaving and the match got interesting yet again as they were brawling their way up the entrance ramp. The Druids came out and dropped off another casket at the top of the ramp and Undertaker brawled Show straight to the top! But of course, this wasn’t the end, it’s ppv after all, Show picked up the new casket then launched Taker through it, not breaking the casket, but it looked great and made a very loud noise. Show then propt the casket up, opened the door and Taker seized controlled and with an Irish whip, threw Big Show into the casket, the door closed behind him and BOOOM! The Undertaker defeats the Big Show in a casket match. Not the greatest bouts ever, but hey, Taker lives to fight again.
The Boogeyman showed up in the backstage area as the old turkey looking dude…you know what I mean…Boogeyman! He’s coming to get us!
Randy Orton, Mark Henry, Shelton Benjamin, Cody Rhodes, and William Regal defeated Batista, R Truth, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, and Matt Hardy
I wasn’t looking forward to this match at all, but it had to be done, didn’t it? Regal was immediately eliminated by Cm Punk with the GTS and things were going by faster than I thought. R Truth once again gets pinned by Shelton Benjamin, and I’m wondering what they are going to do with R Truth now that he’s lost two in a row to the gold standard. Kofi Kingston jumped in and started a great comeback for the good guys, and this was an exciting part of the match up, Kofi and Shelton really work well together. Randy Orton eliminated Kofi Kingston and brought in Cm Punk to unleash a flurry of offense and try to get the former champion out. At this point it was 4 on 3 and things weren’t going well for the good guys, as the momentum was going back to the heels in this match up. Cody Rhodes eliminated Cm Punk, thanks to a quick interference from Manu! Matt Hardy joined the match but was eliminated by Mark Henry with the world’s strongest slam, but then was immediately blindsided by Batista with a spear and Henry was eliminated. Then Shelton Benjamin went in and basically got decimated by Batista and he too was eliminated. The last two guys, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton were left to try and fend off Batista. But this was short lived, Cody Rhodes got worked to hell in this match up. Batista looked like an all-star against Cody Rhodes, and after a huge Batista bomb, I thought this match was over, but Orton had a blind tag and BOOOM RKO! The match was over! That’s right an RKO went down and Batista loses to Randy Orton via a HUGE RKO! Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton are now a makeshift team and are the sole survivors! Not a bad match up, and I didn’t expect Orton to win this one at all.
Edge defeated Kozlov and Triple H to win the world title
This was suppose to be a triple threat match up but unfortunately, due to what maybe a work, Jeff Hardy was found passed out at his hotel. Reports are saying that it is a work, but who knows these days…so that left this final match up to be a single championship match up. Kozlov looked great early on, putting the game through some rest holds and making sure this thing wasn’t going to be a high spot fest. Triple H turned things around and made sure to remind Kozlov that he’s got to hold down the roster. Triple H was definitely moving towards the pedigree but Kozlov caught it and hit his running head butt for a breather. The match was a little slow for my taste, but Kozlov was trying to wear down the champ and was interesting to see. Mid way through the match up, while both opponents were down and since Jeff hardy was out, Vickie Guerrero announced EDGE COMES OUT! EDGE EDGE EDGE EDGE!!! SPEAR BY EDGE! Jeff Hardy runs in with a chair and BOOOM knocks out Triple H and Kozlov! Then gets speared by EDGE! Edge goes for the pin on Triple H and wins the world title! That’s right, EDGE WINS THE WORLD TITLE! EDGE WINS THE WORLD TITLE AT SURVIVOR SERIES!!! EDGE WINS! EDGE WINS! Jeff Hardy was there too, but man he looked bad, he had a neck brace and everything.
John Cena defeated Chris Jericho for the World Heavyweight Championship
This was the moment of truth, John Cena was making his home town return and he was the odds on favorite to win this one. I’m hoping for a heel turn for Cena, and I’m sure a million or so people are also thinking that same thing. Despite Cena not being on television in a long time, the crowd was definitely all over him, cheering like crazy. Y2J had his fans, but nothing like Cena’s emphatic crowd reaction. That was interesting to say the least. Cena tried to be the aggressor early on, but Chris Jericho turned things around in his favor and really made for a slow start, which wasn’t what I was expecting. However, Cena is coming off an injury so maybe he was just getting favored instead of exposing any signs of ring rust. He also seemed somewhat rattled early on when he fell on his neck, and I’m not sure if that was Cena favoring a legit injury or playing possum early on to sway Chris Jericho, whatever the case was, Cena didn’t look like his old self in this match, at least not early on. Things picked up when he recovered and we got a nearly invincible John Cena, trying to dismantle Chris Jericho with a flurry of power moves. However, this first flurry was short lived as Jericho really slowed down the pace, and really looked strong against a much bigger John Cena. Cena didn’t allow himself to get beat too long as he came back with some great counters, but it just didn’t seem to be as effective as he wanted against Jericho, who’s been on a role to say the least. Cena finally looked weak as he was taken to the outside and Jericho really did whatever he could to cheat to win without getting disqualified. He kicked Cena in the head and into the post, threw him into the steel steps, drove him into the guard rails until he brought him back into the ring for something huge! A rest hold! Yeah, you can’t always get a spot fest, can you? Jericho was looking like a great champ in this one, isolating Cena and slowing him down completely, and while most would agree that this was a slow match up, it was nice to see someone take it to Cena for a change and not have Cena simply bounce back at each turn and play up to the crowd. They really let this one have time, and Cena was one step behind Jericho, which was interesting to say the least. If you wanted a classic wrestling match, you should be happy, because Jericho was definitely bringing it old school. I thought this one was done when Jericho put Cena in a picture perfect Liontamer, I’m telling ya, this wasn’t the Boston Crab, this was the Liontamer, all pressure on Cena’s previously injured neck and while Cena did manage to get out of this one, Jericho was still in full control, if only for a moment. Y2J turned it around with a Boston Crab variation of the Lion Tamer and right in the middle of the ring! This too didn’t get Cena out and the two were nearly counted out as Cena was prepping a comeback, but it just didn’t seem to be the average John Cena match up, and he wasn’t taking full control of this match, even though things were going a little long. The two battled it out near the top rope and I spotted a huge FU coming, but instead John Cena set up for a huge Leg drop off the top rope! The Code breaker hits on John Cena and he’s out cold! Seriously out, and this doesn’t put Cena away! Cena kicks out at around 2 and ¾ and Jericho stalked him, ready to pounce yet again, and I didn’t know what to expect. Cena slapped on the STFU and was slowly pushing to win this one but Jericho was slithering towards the ropes and got out, but Cena managed to set up for a FU and although the champ tried to get out, he just couldn’t do it and this one was over in expected fashion. John Cena beats Chris Jericho to become the new World Heavyweight Champion!

WWE Smackdown 11/21/08 Review and Results
Just a heads up, I’m going to be gone next week in Moscow Idaho and will try my hardest to blog through Survivor series and the rest of the free television shows, but if I can not, I’ll make sure to tell you guys, instead of letting you guys drown. So without further ado, here we go, tonight’s smackdown live, well taped…from somewhere out there.
We open the show up with R Truth in the crowd rappin, and all I can say is “What’s up!!!” You know that’s addicting right? I know it is for me.
Matt Hardy & R Truth defeated Shelton Benjamin & Mark Henry
This match up was not half bad, but it seemed like overkill to see Hardy facing Mark Henry yet again. This seems so stupid to me, as the two have been battling everytime I see them on television and I’m getting sick of the match up. I’m also getting sick of the R Truth feud with Shelton Benjamin, they never seem to resolve that, and I believe they are trying to push the title onto R Truth down the road. We’ll see what goes down. This match started off a little slow, and that was ok, but it seemed like they were just setting up for the hot tag. The match took off towards the end, and R Truth landed his scissors kick for the win, meanwhile Hardy and Henry battled outside the ring. The match seemed a little too longer, and the crowd was quiet towards the end, but they cheered after it was all said and done. R Truth wins by pinning Shelton Benjamin!
Miz & Morrison defeated Jesse & Festus
This match up was all Festus with Morrison and Miz getting worked over. This match seemed very easy for the good guys, but Morrison hit the ringside bell and Festus became an average idiot, and he just let Miz and Morrison win. This match was a poor example of a wrestling match, and it’s a stupid gimmick if you ask me. It’s just stupid, I hated this match, and while I think Miz and Morrison aren’t half bad, they didn’t need to really cheat to win this one, they should be the better tag team. Oh well, things went their way this time.
Jeff Hardy defeated Triple H
Triple H and Jeff Hardy once again squared off. The last few times these guys met, Triple H beat him decisively. This time around Hardy was definitely doing everything he could to try to beat HHH. It looked as though HHH was once again going to hold the roster down, however, Hardy turned things around with a catapult and Russian leg sweep. We then cut to commercial. After the break, HHH turned things around and was swiftly holding down the roster by beating up Jeff Hardy easily. Of course, this wasn’t the end of Jeff Hardy, he hit two Whispers in the Wind and tried to mount an offensive comeback on Triple H, and was looking great towards the end of this match up. He didn’t seem winded or anything and Triple H looked like he finally was going to give the young guy the rub he needed. Kozlov ran down and interfered with the match, and Triple H was immediately rolled up for the loss. That’s right, Jeff Hardy wins via roll up over Triple HUH (no I didn’t misspell it). I guess Triple H is finally NOT holding down the roster any more huh? This match deserved more than what it got, lame.
The Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel Jackson defeated The Colon Brothers
Looks like Kendrick is back in tag team hell, as he teams up with Ezekiel to face the Colon brothers. Kendrick and Ezekiel beat the crap out of the Colon brothers, and it’s ridiculous. Seriously, these two just steam rolled through the tag team champions! The title’s mean nothing I guess, this is just stupid. Seriously, why would they randomly squash the champs? That is just so lame, I don’t like that crap, seriously, that’s so lame, let’s get some legit tag teams in there and have a real tag team division! This match up is not half bad, but come on, it’s just lame and well…who cares right?
James Mason defeated MVP
This was a jobber match. MVP wins one, but not a very impressive contender at all. But of course things aren’t going well for MVP and he loses after interference from the Great Khali, and it’s over…it’s all over.
The Bella Twins defeated Victoria & Natalya
This was stupid. The fans were not in on this at all. They were silent for most of the match. The match didn’t have that much wrestling and after a quick “switch” the twins one with a back roll up pin on Victoria. This was a short match and a stupid way to include the divas into the show. They should respect these women more than just to throw away a match. Plus, no championship defense, nor a mention that the belt exists at all and that’s stupid.
The final portion of Smackdown was not a match at all. It was just Big Show and Undertaker trying to make something out of nothing before their big match up this weekend. It’s not going to be the most triumphant of showdowns if you ask me, but what can ya do? With the other alternative being TNA, you have no choice. Oh well, things should be interesting, no?

We open the show up with R Truth in the crowd rappin, and all I can say is “What’s up!!!” You know that’s addicting right? I know it is for me.
Matt Hardy & R Truth defeated Shelton Benjamin & Mark Henry
This match up was not half bad, but it seemed like overkill to see Hardy facing Mark Henry yet again. This seems so stupid to me, as the two have been battling everytime I see them on television and I’m getting sick of the match up. I’m also getting sick of the R Truth feud with Shelton Benjamin, they never seem to resolve that, and I believe they are trying to push the title onto R Truth down the road. We’ll see what goes down. This match started off a little slow, and that was ok, but it seemed like they were just setting up for the hot tag. The match took off towards the end, and R Truth landed his scissors kick for the win, meanwhile Hardy and Henry battled outside the ring. The match seemed a little too longer, and the crowd was quiet towards the end, but they cheered after it was all said and done. R Truth wins by pinning Shelton Benjamin!
Miz & Morrison defeated Jesse & Festus
This match up was all Festus with Morrison and Miz getting worked over. This match seemed very easy for the good guys, but Morrison hit the ringside bell and Festus became an average idiot, and he just let Miz and Morrison win. This match was a poor example of a wrestling match, and it’s a stupid gimmick if you ask me. It’s just stupid, I hated this match, and while I think Miz and Morrison aren’t half bad, they didn’t need to really cheat to win this one, they should be the better tag team. Oh well, things went their way this time.
Jeff Hardy defeated Triple H
Triple H and Jeff Hardy once again squared off. The last few times these guys met, Triple H beat him decisively. This time around Hardy was definitely doing everything he could to try to beat HHH. It looked as though HHH was once again going to hold the roster down, however, Hardy turned things around with a catapult and Russian leg sweep. We then cut to commercial. After the break, HHH turned things around and was swiftly holding down the roster by beating up Jeff Hardy easily. Of course, this wasn’t the end of Jeff Hardy, he hit two Whispers in the Wind and tried to mount an offensive comeback on Triple H, and was looking great towards the end of this match up. He didn’t seem winded or anything and Triple H looked like he finally was going to give the young guy the rub he needed. Kozlov ran down and interfered with the match, and Triple H was immediately rolled up for the loss. That’s right, Jeff Hardy wins via roll up over Triple HUH (no I didn’t misspell it). I guess Triple H is finally NOT holding down the roster any more huh? This match deserved more than what it got, lame.
The Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel Jackson defeated The Colon Brothers
Looks like Kendrick is back in tag team hell, as he teams up with Ezekiel to face the Colon brothers. Kendrick and Ezekiel beat the crap out of the Colon brothers, and it’s ridiculous. Seriously, these two just steam rolled through the tag team champions! The title’s mean nothing I guess, this is just stupid. Seriously, why would they randomly squash the champs? That is just so lame, I don’t like that crap, seriously, that’s so lame, let’s get some legit tag teams in there and have a real tag team division! This match up is not half bad, but come on, it’s just lame and well…who cares right?
James Mason defeated MVP
This was a jobber match. MVP wins one, but not a very impressive contender at all. But of course things aren’t going well for MVP and he loses after interference from the Great Khali, and it’s over…it’s all over.
The Bella Twins defeated Victoria & Natalya
This was stupid. The fans were not in on this at all. They were silent for most of the match. The match didn’t have that much wrestling and after a quick “switch” the twins one with a back roll up pin on Victoria. This was a short match and a stupid way to include the divas into the show.

TNA Impact 11/20/08 Results and Review Leadership…Divided
The Main Event Mafia opened up the show with a casket in the ring, and they made it seem that Christian is going back to WWE for sure. I’m not sure if this is real or fake, which is interesting on one note, however, it should be interesting that Christian returns to WWE. I can’t confirm that at all, but it would be nice to see it done.
Rhino comes out now and he starts talking about Christian. It was boring. I didn’t care, and apparently neither did Kevin Nash! Hilarious. Rhino claims to be a veteran? Weird. I’m tired of this storyline, seriously, didn’t the wwe and wcw do this already? Remember the ppv “New Blood” from wcw? Didn’t they do this? Oh well. I’m tired. They basically beat up Rhino, busting him wide open with the Veterans belt. You would think that the backstage area would come down to the ring, but no one really got there. They then shoved Rhino into a casket! That’s right, Rhino was placed into a casket! I kid you not. NO TNA Wrestlers came out to save Rhino, what a load of crap.
Consequences Creed & Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal defeated Sonjay Dutt w/ So cal Val & Tanahashi
A tag team x-division match? This seems too weird, personally, I thought that the Jay Lethal Sonjay Dutt finished their feud? Not only that, when was Tanahashi heel? Seriously, this match makes no sense. Despite this not making sense, the guys put on a show. The x-division is great, these guys throw together a great piece of tandem wrestling moves, with splashes, corkscrews, and quick tags. This is a perfect example of what cruiserweight wrestlers can do, if the promotion allows them to move forward. You gotta give these guys credit, they put on one heck of a match, even if it was shorter than I’d like it to be, and it was thrown together for no apparent reason. Consequences Creed got the pin, out of the blue, and this match up was a bit too short. It was over before I had a chance to even finish my sentence. Oh well, this match didn’t really matter a whole lot.
Cornette forces Eric Young to give up the x-division title to Sheik Abdul Bashir. This turn of events directly relates to the Y2J cruiserweight division victories of 1999. Remember? From January to July, Chris Jericho found every loophole in the book to keep his title after losing it.
The Beautiful People defeated Christy Hemme & Sojourner Bolt
We get a new comer to the TNA Knockouts division. She looks good out there, a little green, but overall looks like she can be a somewhat relevant addition to the knockouts division. She took major shot to the face early on, but she hung in there for her debut. The Beautiful People were focusing on the new girl Sojourner, and the crowd was behind the new girl, but she wasn’t really getting a good comeback. Christy Hemme got the hot tag, and cleaned house. She looked good for once, but she got hit with the knock out and loses to the beautiful people yet again! I was surprised at the way this one turned out.
ODB’s show finally showed up and this thing sucked. ODB can’t act, and this show sucked. I’m tired of this horrible filler. Seriously, stupid filler.
Aj Styles & Samoa Joe defeated The Motor City Machine Guns
This match got off to an exciting start. Within the first five minutes, all members were outside of the ring and flying through the ropes, over the ropes, and onto each other! This was awesome! These guys really threw up a good opening, until commercial break, which featured the new Punisher movie, which I will be seeing, since I’m a huge Marvel Knights fan. The match returns and this thing was vast paced and didn’t really have a lot of psychology to it. It was spot after spot after spot, which is somewhat ok, but seemed like a little too much. Styles hit he Pele and then landed the styles clash for the victory! It was a good match, great stuff here, even if it was a little shorter than I’d like to see. I still don’t like that established tag teams get beat every time. It’d be nice to see an established tag team win as a team, like the old days. Oh well.
Booker T defeated Eric Young
This is interesting on one level. It’s a fresh, new match up. I like this in that aspect, however, I don’t like the fact that we know that this match is going to favor Booker T. There is no way Eric Young is going to win the veteran’s belt, there’s just no way. This match wasn’t so bad, Young focused on grounding Booker T, and Booker looked genuinely frustrated as the x-division wrestler was working him over. However, Booker turned this match around and with a lot of slow moving methodology, took apart Eric Young and defeated him as expected. Booker T wins the match after hitting the ax kick.
Kurt Angle & Kevin Nash defeated Matt “The Blueprint” Morgan & Abyss
Once again, these guys get thrown together into another match up. I don’t like Matt Morgan, but I do give TNA credit with giving him a chance to shine out there in the ring. That’s something that WWE never really did, so TNA is actually doing something different, for a change. This match started with a stale mate between Abyss and Angle. Angle didn’t look so great against the monster Abyss. Matt Morgan got into the match and things were looking great until Angle clipped him and Kevin Nash go in and delivered one heck of a lariat. The match was all Angle and Nash for the most part. However, things turned around and it was left with Nash and Morgan in the ring fighting each other. Beer Money came down, but Abyss knocked them out, and threw Angle in the ring. Beer Money smashes Abyss with a Beer Bottle and Kevin Nash jumps Abyss for the pin! Kevin Nash and Kurt Angle defeated Matt Morgan and Abyss! Once again they lose.
That was it for TNA as far as wrestling is concerned. They end their show with Mick Foley out in the ring announcing the double main event for TNA ppv. This was stupid, why would they end a wrestling show with Foley in the ring talking? This is wrestling! Let’s see some wrestling, for a change! Come on, fire all the TNA writers! Seriously, this is how you end your wrestling show? Foley is ok on the mic, but I’d rather watch one more match up, then to see Foley out there talking up a storm. Foley announces two matches, Booker T, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner & Sting vs. Samoa Joe, and two unnamed opponents Aj styles but if the Main Event mafia loses, Aj Styles will be the Tna Champion! The other match up will be Kurt Angle vs. Rhino! This isn’t huge, I’m just going to tell you that right now.
The cool thing at the end of TNA was Foley getting punked out by Kurt Angle, prompting Jeff Jarrett to come out and defend him. Then Angle punked out Double J and Rhino jumped him!

ECW 11/18/08 Review and Results
Here we go, another edition of the C level wwe show that is ECW. Probably my least favorite brands that the WWE is trying to push, and once again, we get the epic feel and start that isn’t what ECW ever stood for. Remember when they tried to have a second stage just for ECW? Those were the days. Atlanta, Georgia is where we are coming from.
We get what I suppose is the dirt sheet? These guys are funny, but I’m too tired to laugh.
DJ Gabriel w/ Alicia Fox defeated a jobber
I don’t have enough respect for jobbers to remember their names. I remember when I was a kid I had a lot of respect for the jobbers because they would eventually become major players in WWE, but not now. These guys are dumb. DJ Gabriel looks good out there, and impressed me somewhat, but I couldn’t help but compare him to Alex Wright. Remember him? That guy could dance, and remember he teamed up with Tokyo Magum? Those were hilarious times. Dj Garbriel is like the Miz’s older brother, or younger brother….the European uppercut off the second rope was kind of cool, I liked that. Kind of a boring match otherwise.
Jack Swagger defeated Tommy Deamer via dq
Swagger and Dreamer met in an Amatuer wrestling match. I hate these things, I don’t tune into professional wrestling to see collegiate wrestling! Other than that, Jack Swagger was putting Tommy through the ringer. I am not a fan of amateur wrestling at all, but oh well. This match was done when Dreamer lost his cool and delivered a ddt.
On a side note, Jack Swagger is using music that sounds a lot like Rage Against the Machine. Word on the street is that the WWE is in a lawsuit with Sony/BMG over the rights to the song. It sounds too much like Rage Against the Machine, sources say. I don’t know.
William Regal, Mark Henry, and Cody Rhodes defeated Finlay, Matt hardy, and Kofi Kingston
This match wasn’t all that bad. I am sure sick of six man tag team matches though. This one was tough, Finlay and Regal were really taking some stiff shots, and landing some insane European uppercuts. The bad guys had complete control in this match up, with Finlay getting a beatdown left and right. He was favoring his shoulder, and the heels were taking full advantage of that, focusing their onslaught onto it. By the time Kofi Kingston and Hardy got involved in this match, it was getting quite ood. Kofi’s impressive, Henry though stopped him with the world’s strongest slam and the match was over.

WWE Raw 11/17/08 Review and Results
The night opened up with a “raw” forum. This was the most unorthodox opening I’ve ever seen, and you will probably agree. All the Raw superstars were in the ring and each one of them asked questions to Stephanie McMahon, and she was answering random questions. It was lame. Trust me, it was boring.
Kelly Kelly defeated Victoria
This was a rather quick match up and there wasn’t a whole lot to talk about. Victoria looked to have this match sewn up, but instead of winning she loses to Kelly Kelly. Yeah, Victoria has been reduced to being a stepping stone for newer divas to get over. A sad state in the women’s division in WWE; post match Victoria got her revenge, but it was too little too late.
Batista defeated Manu
This match started off with Manu looking good. This is the first time I’ve seen Manu actually getting a good shot at anyone. He was really showing off, lifting Batista and having his way with the big guy with ease. Manu is quite athletic, and was surprising even as he was so quick at delivering maneuvers, and he made them look so easy. If you saw his spinning heel kick, you know what I mean. He’s got hops and skills, but who knows if he’ll continue to show them off as time goes on. Batista turned this match around before things could get too out of hand and was prepared to win the match swiftly but Manu managed a minor comeback before getting speared out of his boots. Batista delivered the Batista bomb and it was all over. This match was ok at best, Manu looked good, until he got squashed by Batista. Randy Orton was on the ramp, but offered nothing for this match up. Batista again looks good, and he’ll most likely get another title match sooner than later.
The Miz & John Morrison defeated Rey Mysterio & Shawn Michaels
This match didn’t make much sense to me. It seemed like a random tag match that the wwe put together to just fill time. There’s no rhyme or reason for this at all and it looks like Miz and Morrison are just a go to tag team for no apparent reason. They aren’t chasing the titles, they are the equivalent of The Orient Express at the old Royal Rumble cards. I’ll give credit to Miz and Morrison as they are the premiere tag team in the wwe, going to every show and wrestling a match, however they aren’t getting the push that a tag team championship team deserves. I don’t watch the dirt sheet by the way, that’s for sure. This matchup wasn’t all that bad, the bad guys seemed to have Rey Mysterio isolated for a good portion of this match up until HBK got the hot tag and cleaned house. HBK hit Miz with sweet chin music, only to get hit himself by Morrison with a superkick and Miz fell on top of HBK and it was all over. The Miz pins Michaels and the two idiots win over some of the top wwe stars.
Kane & JBL defeated Cryme Tyme
I can’t believe how this one went. This was a dumb pairing if you ask me, and I didn’t understand what side Kane was on. Is he a heel? Is he a face? I’m not sure really. Cryme Tyme is another team that doesn’t get that tag team push. They just exist in a division where the champions are not even a regular tag team. What a stupid division. This match wasn’t all that good at all. This match consisted of Cryme Tyme getting beat down then JBL running in for the clothesline from hell and it was all over. This was a stupid match, I didn’t like it and all it showed was that JBL and Kane can coexist.
Matt Hardy vs. William Regal (Double Countout)
This once again was champion versus champion as Matt Hardy took on the new intercontinental champion. Regal was getting worked over early on and was making Hardy look like a major contender. Regal turned things around and gave through a more smash mouth style than he usually has. The two were counted out and no one wins. The two continued to fight each other outside of the ring, and then the wwe officials came out and restrained everyone.
Randy Orton defeated CM Punk in a 30 Man Lumber Jack Match
I’m not a big fan of lumberjack matches, they usually don’t end up being all that great. This match of course started in the ring with the two exchanging rest holds and initial lock ups. Orton seemed to be 100% healed as he was quick to his feet and was evading all of Punk’s initial offense. Randy Orton made things look decent, as he was getting thrown outside of the ring a lot. He kept going on the wrong side of the ring, getting worked completely while on the outside of the ring. For being a lumberjack match, the two spent a lot of time in the ring battling back and forth. This match actually got really good as the wrestlers outside of the ring were reacting to each move, as if they really didn’t know the winner. I liked that, I liked that they were selling the magic in the ring. I liked the match overall and while it wasn’t the most technical match in the world, it had enough action to be called a serious main event match up, even for a Monday Night Raw. The end came when Regal distracted punk, who then walked into an RKO! That’s right, it was all over with the diamond cutter…I mean the RKO.
Postmatch, Orton was running to cm punk to deliver another kick to the head, but was stopped by Batista, and then a melee ensued inside the ring as each wrestler came in to stop the others from coming in. It was really cool, everyone was getting clean shots in there and no one had the advantage, and we went through it all and faded to black.

Batista delivered the Batista bomb and it was all over. This match was ok at best, Manu looked good, until he got squashed by Batista. Randy Orton was on the ramp, but offered nothing for this match up. Batista again looks good, and he’ll most likely get another title match sooner than later.
The Miz & John Morrison defeated Rey Mysterio & Shawn Michaels
This match didn’t make much sense to me. It seemed like a random tag match that the wwe put together to just fill time. There’s no rhyme or reason for this at all and it looks like Miz and Morrison are just a go to tag team for no apparent reason. They aren’t chasing the titles, they are the equivalent of The Orient Express at the old Royal Rumble cards. I’ll give credit to Miz and Morrison as they are the premiere tag team in the wwe, going to every show and wrestling a match, however they aren’t getting the push that a tag team championship team deserves. I don’t watch the dirt sheet by the way, that’s for sure. This matchup wasn’t all that bad, the bad guys seemed to have Rey Mysterio isolated for a good portion of this match up until HBK got the hot tag and cleaned house. HBK hit Miz with sweet chin music, only to get hit himself by Morrison with a superkick and Miz fell on top of HBK and it was all over. The Miz pins Michaels and the two idiots win over some of the top wwe stars.
Kane & JBL defeated Cryme Tyme
I can’t believe how this one went. This was a dumb pairing if you ask me, and I didn’t understand what side Kane was on. Is he a heel? Is he a face? I’m not sure really. Cryme Tyme is another team that doesn’t get that tag team push. They just exist in a division where the champions are not even a regular tag team. What a stupid division. This match wasn’t all that good at all. This match consisted of Cryme Tyme getting beat down then JBL running in for the clothesline from hell and it was all over. This was a stupid match, I didn’t like it and all it showed was that JBL and Kane can coexist.
Matt Hardy vs. William Regal (Double Countout)
This once again was champion versus champion as Matt Hardy took on the new intercontinental champion. Regal was getting worked over early on and was making Hardy look like a major contender. Regal turned things around and gave through a more smash mouth style than he usually has. The two were counted out and no one wins. The two continued to fight each other outside of the ring, and then the wwe officials came out and restrained everyone.
Randy Orton defeated CM Punk in a 30 Man Lumber Jack Match
I’m not a big fan of lumberjack matches, they usually don’t end up being all that great. This match of course started in the ring with the two exchanging rest holds and initial lock ups. Orton seemed to be 100% healed as he was quick to his feet and was evading all of Punk’s initial offense. Randy Orton made things look decent, as he was getting thrown outside of the ring a lot. He kept going on the wrong side of the ring, getting worked completely while on the outside of the ring. For being a lumberjack match, the two spent a lot of time in the ring battling back and forth. This match actually got really good as the wrestlers outside of the ring were reacting to each move, as if they really didn’t know the winner. I liked that, I liked that they were selling the magic in the ring. I liked the match overall and while it wasn’t the most technical match in the world, it had enough action to be called a serious main event match up, even for a Monday Night Raw. The end came when Regal distracted punk, who then walked into an RKO! That’s right, it was all over with the diamond cutter…I mean the RKO.
Postmatch, Orton was running to cm punk to deliver another kick to the head, but was stopped by Batista, and then a melee ensued inside the ring as each wrestler came in to stop the others from coming in. It was really cool, everyone was getting clean shots in there and no one had the advantage, and we went through it all and faded to black.

WWE Smackdown 11/14/08 Review and Results
Another smackdown rolls through the television, and it was recorded previously, lame huh? Big thins were promised, and we’ll see if it delivered!
We open with The Undertaker inside an oversized metal casket. I would know, I used to sell them. Jeff Hardy comes onto the screen and tells taker that he should worry about him.
Matt Hardy defeated Shelton Benjamin
This match was billed as champion vs. champion and that was suppose to get me to care. I only care about these types of matches when the titles are on the line. Why was Hogan vs. Warrior special? Champion vs. Champion and both titles were on the line right? OH man, my memory is slippin. Anyway, this match up is slow to start and Hardy was getting worked by Benjamin with a lot of rest holds and simple wrestling maneuvers; Hardy’s knee is messed up and it showed in this match up. I’m not sure if Hardy was just selling more, or if he legitimate injured. Benjamin made this match really good, I am gaining an all new trust in his wrestling ability. He’s doing great in there and Hardy was trying to hang on, limping all the time in this match up. I’m not sure what happened, but the crowd died in this match up and the Camera had some problems too, it seemed odd. Hardy wins with the twist of fate, but this match had some technical and crowd problems. I’m not sure what was wrong, if you noticed it, kudo’s for you. This match was ok, it seemed plagued by Hardy’s knee and the dead crowd, but otherwise it was an ok opener.
The Brian Kendrick defeated Carlito Colon
Carlito was looking good in this match against Kendrick, but Kendrick was taking liberties on Carlito, working over his leg and trying everything in his power to get things in his favor. This match had some good spots, the Carlito floating back elbow was awesome! Kendrick nearly losing this one was good, but of course Kendrick managed to pull off the victory in the end with little to no help from Ezekiel. Unless you count Primo getting killed outside the ring by Ezekiel; this match wasn’t anything that special, and overall, it was about as good as an old velocity match up. Kendrick wins clean? Awesome!
They had a contract signing. I hate these things, they are pointless; except in this one, when Jeff Hardy crashed the signing and jumped off the top rope and put Kozlov through a table! Then he tore up the wwe contract and threw it in the face of TRIPLE HUH (no I didn’t misspell it)
Kung Fu Naki defeated MVP
MVP once again loses a match. This time around he lost to Kung fu Naki in a fast match with really no major offense getting thrown in. It was a horrible example of a match. MVP was getting worked really bad. I hate this crap, MVP is getting buried for some reason and I wish I knew why.
The Great Khali kiss cam sucks. Seriuosly, this thing is the worst thing to happen to professional wrestling ever!
Michelle McCool defeated Maria
Maria has improved somewhat, but she’s not that good. She’s a little slow on the reaction and McCool has improved a little too. However, these two aren’t that great overall. They make a lot of minor mistakes and the wrestling looks sloppy to me. McCool won with an Ankle lock submission, prompting Festus to run down and try to attack McCool.
Jeff Hardy defeated Undertaker
This match could’ve gone either way. I’m not sure who I wanted to win this match more. Hardy opened up this match with everything but the kitchen sink. He was throwing himself from pillar to post trying to attack the Undertaker, but Taker caught him and threw him into the steel steps, and things weren’t going to well for hardy at the initial break. Lame…commercials. Then this thing took off full throttle folks! This match got EXTREME! PLUNDER ALERT! Big Show came in and started mopping up. Hardy delievered a HUGE leg drop over a ladder onto Taker for the pin, and it was over. Undertaker loses to Jeff Hardy seemingly clean! That’s right, Hardy wins!

TNA Impact 11/13/08 Christian Gets Made
Here we go TNA starts again with Foley and Jarrett backstage…and then we get that mid 90’s Raw intro. It’s pretty lame. Didn’t hip hop hardcore go down a long time ago? I feel cheated somehow. I still hate the six sided ring. Seriously, go back to the regular ring already! Oh well.
Rhaka Khan and Awesome Kong defeated Roxxi and Taylor Wilde
This apparently was a rematch of sorts from the ppv, and the match was similar in scope. It was the TNA’s way of switching it up a little with Khan in there trying to mix it up with Wilde and Roxxi. This was a pretty cool match and once again the women are just great in the ring. I love these women, as they put on a great show every week, and they are more than just pretty faces, they can actually wrestle! I’m always impressed by the TNA knockouts. Awesome Kong dropped Roxxi yet again with the implant buster and it was over.
Eric Young defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir
This x-division title match caught me by surprise. Eric Young was no longer that nervous guy that came out and wrestled every now and again, now he’s in there confident as ever. Bashir is ok, but he seems a little slow at times. Young was grounded for a good portion of this match. Bashir eventually delivers a low blow and pushes the referee! The ref snaps and attacks Bashir! Eric Young then capitalizes by winning the the x-division title! That’s right, Eric Young, despite getting in very little offense in this match wins the x-division title!
Scott Steiner defeated Rhino
Rhino dominated this match up, and Steiner was slow out there. He has lost a little weight though. He defeats Rhino after interference from Kurt Angle, and this match was a quick one and just lame to me. It was your average Scott Steiner suck fest.
Sting defeated Jay Lethal
I never liked when the world champion would wrestle the undercard, or the lower card. It just seemed like the company was thinking that I’m a stupid fan. There’s no way Jay Lethal was going to defeat Sting. There was just no way, and he didn’t. The thing that surprised me about this match was the amount of punishment Sting took in this match. Jay Lethal was dishing out all his moves, and Sting was always coming back. After some interference, Sting won this match up. The Motor City Machine Guns inadvertently cost Jay Lethal the match up!
Samoa Joe & Aj Styles defeated Beer Money via DQ
Samoa Joe and Aj were dishing out a lot of punishment in the early parts of this match and they were looking good together, as if they were team mates for a long time. Team 3D came down to ringside and Beer Money turns things around and look strong. This is how you do tag team wrestling, finally someone in professional wrestling does it right. This match was actually good, and it brought me back to the good ol’ days of real tag teams that don’t split up after a few matches to fight each other. This match was good, and we saw some good back and forth action from both sides. Team 3D interferes and causes the disqualification and takes out Beer Money!
Christian gets beat up at the end of the show for wanting to go to WWE. He gets torn up, seriously torn up. Dang.

Ecw on Sci Fi 11/11/08 Review and Results
I woke up way too tired for this crap, but I managed to watch it anyway. Here is how the Veteran’s day episode of ECW went down:
John Morrison,The Miz & Jack Swagger defeated Cryme Tyme & Tommy Dreamer
Swagger avoided Dreamer early on, then asked for him to get tagged in, but it didn’t happen as Swagger wanted him in as he was losing to JTG’s offense. The crowd was into this one, and heavily favored the good guys. The arena was definitely into this match up and they were much louder than recent American crowds for Ecw. Morrison was on the receiving end of a lot of punishment, and I can’t believe that Tommy Dreamer was getting so much in, as he was looking like a champion rather than a jobber. Overall a good match up, featuring Dreamer nearly winning this match with his flurry of offense close to the end. Swagger seemed to have gotten the push and the crowd was firmly behind him! However, a Dreamer ddt looked to derail his push, but Morrison reversed the ddt into the Moonlight Drive and once again Dreamer jobs. Dreamer sucks
Mark Henry defeated some dude named Oliver
This was lame. Henry kills some local guy and there’s nothing more to it.
Matt Hardy defeated Finlay
This was a great back and forth match up and was given more than half of the show to play out. Finlay was the aggressor early on and was definitely poised to win this one, if only by the crowd’s reaction to his moves. Finlay, from Ireland, was definitely over with the UK crowd, and Hardy was having a hard time kicking out of a lot of Finlay’s latter offense. Finlay hit the Celtic Cross and I thought it was over, but Hardy kicked out at nearly 2 ½ and things were not looking good for Hardy at all. Finlay looked great out there and I liked this match it was definitely the best overall wrestling match up I’ve seen in a long time. These two put on a clinic of ECW wrestling, and while I don’t like these two on the mic, they can wrestle their butts off in the ring. Matt Hardy hit the Twist of Fate out of nowhere for the successful title defense! Great stuff. I liked this match a lot.

WWE Raw 11/10/08 Review and Results
We are live in the UK this time around and we start the show with recaps from the 3 hour raw! I admit, I was a little more tired than usual and was looking forward to falling asleep during Raw, but we’ll see how it all went down.
Stephanie McMahon interrupted the show in the middle of a Batista speech. She basically stated that Batista isn’t invoking crap! She looks fat, I’m just saying.
William Regal defeated Santino for the Intercontinental Championship
Regal, in his home town, was getting quite the ovation by the crowd, but Santino was getting a lot of chants as well. This match is the only major thing I was excited for going into Raw and it started off really well. Regal really pushed the envelope, controlling Santino with so many moves, and shocking the Intercontinental champion with a running leg kick that sound horrendous! Santino gets knocked out cold, and loses cleanly. That’s right, William Regal defeated Santino in his home town to become the Intercontinental Champion! So long Honka-meter huh? Short squash match, but it was awesome.
Mike Knox defeated D-Lo Brown
Mike Knox was out there and basically killed D-Lo Brown. That’s right, D-Lo brown jobbed terribly to Mike Knox. Knox looked great, and was fast in his delivery, but come on! Did we really have to get D-Lo Brown squashed? Lame. This wasn’t even a match, just a throwaway waste of time.
Rey Mysterio defeated Kane in a no dq match
Rey Mysterio was all over Kane in this one. He was dishing out everything he had in his move set, and it was looking like Kane was going to lose in a squash match, however Kane grabbed control after the break and threw Rey Mysterio into the barricade head first! Mysterio then was in complete control of the Big Red Machine. Kane using the empty turnbuckle reminded me of last night’s Kevin Nash match in TNA. Kane has lost his luster, he’s not as monstrous as he once was. Rey is good, but there’s no way he should get this much offense in on Kane, he’s just too small, I’m sorry. This match started to get too long for me, with little or no major offense towards the end. Kane just seemed to be taking too much time setting up the next move to really get me interested. Mysterio delivered a good drop toe hold onto Kane into the exposed turnbuckle and landed the worst finisher, and won the match! Kane once again loses to Rey Mysterio!
Batista defeated Cody Rhodes
Batista defeated Cody Rhodes easily. Rhodes didn’t get a whole lot of offense in, and I’m beginning to think that Rhodes has the easiest job in the WWE. He just goes out there ever 3 or 4 weeks and gets beat up. This match was a throwaway match up at best, and is stupid. I thought Orton was going to fight Batista tonight, but they never really got their match going, and Rhodes took the punishment for Orton on this night. Batista won with a Batista Bomb and this was done before you could even get into it. Rhodes is on his way out, that’s the only thing I can think of.
Beth Phoenix defeated Mickie James
Mickey James put up one heck of a fight in this title shot, but Phoenix pulled out a nice victory. Santino interfered and James got thrown head first into the Ring post by Phoenix who then rolled her up for the win; a relatively short match up, but a good one none the less. I liked it overall, even if it wasn’t very long. These two are probably the best female wrestlers in WWE, and wish that all the divas took an example from these two. They aren’t as good as the TNA knockouts, but they are good none the less.
Chris Jericho defeated Shawn Michaels in a Last Man Standing Match
We get the final piece to the puzzle with this last man standing match! Jericho looked to be losing this match easily, with Shawn Michaels getting in most of the offense early on, however it was short lived as Jericho delivered the liontamer on top of a car! This match started tog et somewhat brutal, but didn’t involve a lot of plunder at all, it was just stiff shots and street fight style, with the two getting up nearly at the 10 counts. Shawn Michaels introduced a ladder into the match and Jericho immediately took advantage, making this really interesting. A great spot was definitely Michaels climbing to the top of a ladder, and jumping into an elbow drop onto Jericho through the announce table! I thought this was it, but then JBL interfered, or at least he tried. Jericho knocks out Michael’s with the world title belt to the head and it was all over, but not before he delivered a super kick to Chris Jericho! Jericho managed to get up though, but it was still over, Michaels couldn’t answer the ten count, and Jericho once again wins and this is the end of the Michaels Jericho feud.

This match started to get too long for me, with little or no major offense towards the end. Kane just seemed to be taking too much time setting up the next move to really get me interested. Mysterio delivered a good drop toe hold onto Kane into the exposed turnbuckle and landed the worst finisher, and won the match! Kane once again loses to Rey Mysterio!
Batista defeated Cody Rhodes
Batista defeated Cody Rhodes easily. Rhodes didn’t get a whole lot of offense in, and I’m beginning to think that Rhodes has the easiest job in the WWE. He just goes out there ever 3 or 4 weeks and gets beat up. This match was a throwaway match up at best, and is stupid. I thought Orton was going to fight Batista tonight, but they never really got their match going, and Rhodes took the punishment for Orton on this night. Batista won with a Batista Bomb and this was done before you could even get into it. Rhodes is on his way out, that’s the only thing I can think of.
Beth Phoenix defeated Mickie James
Mickey James put up one heck of a fight in this title shot, but Phoenix pulled out a nice victory. Santino interfered and James got thrown head first into the Ring post by Phoenix who then rolled her up for the win; a relatively short match up, but a good one none the less. I liked it overall, even if it wasn’t very long. These two are probably the best female wrestlers in WWE, and wish that all the divas took an example from these two. They aren’t as good as the TNA knockouts, but they are good none the less.
Chris Jericho defeated Shawn Michaels in a Last Man Standing Match
We get the final piece to the puzzle with this last man standing match! Jericho looked to be losing this match easily, with Shawn Michaels getting in most of the offense early on, however it was short lived as Jericho delivered the liontamer on top of a car! This match started tog et somewhat brutal, but didn’t involve a lot of plunder at all, it was just stiff shots and street fight style, with the two getting up nearly at the 10 counts. Shawn Michaels introduced a ladder into the match and Jericho immediately took advantage, making this really interesting. A great spot was definitely Michaels climbing to the top of a ladder, and jumping into an elbow drop onto Jericho through the announce table! I thought this was it, but then JBL interfered, or at least he tried. Jericho knocks out Michael’s with the world title belt to the head and it was all over, but not before he delivered a super kick to Chris Jericho! Jericho managed to get up though, but it was still over, Michaels couldn’t answer the ten count, and Jericho once again wins and this is the end of the Michaels Jericho feud.

TNA Turning Point 08 Results and Review
Here we go, my first TNA ppv in a LONG time! I was expecting a lot!
The intro to the ppv is just a recap of the last few weeks of TNA and mainly shows footage of the Main Event Mafia beating everyone up, mixed in with them talking about random crap. The show starts with JB in the back watching the arrival of the Main Event Mafia.
I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again, I hate the six sided ring. I wish that TNA would revert back to the 4 sided regular wrestling ring.
Eric Young defeated Consequences Creed, Sonjay “Guru” Dutt w/ So Cal Val, Big Petey Pump, Jimmy Rave, Volador, Doug Williams, Tanahashi, Homicide, and Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal
This huge match up was like a tag team match up with no one on any teams. They just featured all these guys waiting on the Apron and running in at random, and just wrestling. It was a weird gimmick, and it was just high spot fever. I liked the flow of this match, as it didn’t take much to watch this, and it was wildly popular with the fans who were into each major spot. So there’s no real psychology to this match up, it’s just random run ins and power moves to outside moves over the top rope, through the ropes and the likes. I liked it, and it was a good opening match, even if I didn’t really understand the point of jumbling all the x-division together. The winner gets a shot at the title and they reshuffle the ranks for the x-division. Doug Williams is an odd one in this match up, and reminded me of mid-90’s wwe tag team wrestling. I loved Volador in this match as he was not conforming to the TNA style but more over he was keeping his Lucha Libre style in tact and the TNA wrestlers were making adjustments to him, not the other way around. He was a highlight of this match up.
The weird thing about this match is that when someone would go for a pin, NO ONE would jump in to stop it. This didn’t make sense to me at all, and really took away from what could’ve been a really frenetic paced match up. Instead it just made me think that everyone knew the winner, and that my friends is NOT what I like about wrestling. I know they know, but they need to convince me that they don’t.
Volador was in this match for a good long time, and he put on a clinic of styles, he was amazing. This guy should be the x-division champion. He’s stellar, give that guy the belt, he is amazing! This match was elimination style, and the best elimination came from Doug Williams. He rolled up rave right into a release German suplex which was amazing! Kid’s got game, that’s for sure. The rest of the match was confusing to me, as people flying all over the place, and people looked legitimately hurt. Then there were a rapid fire amount of eliminations and after the dust settled it left Jay Lethal and Eric Young to determine the winner. These two really put on a show full of near falls and high risk maneuvers. Great back and forth action here and I was really into it for once in my life, and I couldn’t help but think about “Super Eric” but whatever, these two are great together. This match went through quite the moves and in the end Eric Young won the match up and becomes the number 1 contender to the x-division title. Overall a good match up, with a lot of great moments, and while I don’t usually like the TNA openers, this one was a good 20 minutes in length and really done well. Great opener for the ppv event, but I can’t help but wonder where the rest of the Prince Justice League is going within the ranks of TNA.
Roxxi & Taylor Wilde defeated Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed
A nice paced women’s match up here, with Wilde and Roxxi taking control early on, but that was short lived. I’m completely thrilled that there are still people out there that give women these types of roles, because they are so much more than just “Barbie” dolls. If you allow women to wrestle they can put on matches just as good as any man. This match proved it yet again. Forget the wwe divas, they suck, these women are dropping elbows, executing picture perfect suplex’s and so much more! This match wasn’t a technical classic, but it was good. I love the TNA knockouts, they are so good, the best women’s wrestling you’re going to see, I guarantee it! Even if there were some stupid misses and obvious mistakes, I still went along with it. This match was good, and even after Taylor Wilde scored the pin on Raisha Saeed with a bridged suplex pin, this thing had me cheering; the knockouts are great wrestlers in their own right.
Rhino defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir
This is a waste of time for me. Why would the X-Division champion not defend his title on a ppv? I know this is a grudge match, but I never got behind it and I think it’s a stupid thing to waste this match up. The champion should defend the title whenever he’s wrestling on pay per view, rather than just wrestling with some grudge angle that no one cares about! Bashir was actually doing well in this match up, and Rhino didn’t look as intimidating as he usually does. The ref of course is that one dude that has been fighting bashir in times past. Rhino looked to be on the verge of victory but Bashir turned things around but it wasn’t until he pushed the ref that Rhino got the victory! Rhino gored Bashir, pinned him and walked out. That’s it. NO major altercations, no major post match celebration, it was just over. Done with.
Beer Money Inc defeated The Motor City Machine Guns
There was no way the Machine Guns were going to win this one, that’s what I thought at the beginning of this match up. Those two just seem to never get over that well. This was definitely the turning point for The Machine Guns as they have been trying to prove themselves for several weeks. This was a good back and forth match with The Machine Guns looking very good against the veteran tag team, and the crowd was behind them this time around. The action was solid, and both teams really worked well, and pushed as much out of each other as possible. There were some spots that didn’t make sense at all, and I’m not sure if they were just messing up, or they legitimately were too tired to execute the move. This match broke out into a melee later in the match up, and the ref wasn’t letting it go back to one on one action at all. Then Jacqueline jumped in, and interfered only to get slammed to the mat, and of course here came Beer Money with their usual antics, including beer in the face, and finally the pinfall win over the Machine guns to once again successfully defend their titles. A good match a terrible ending, but great match overall. I just didn’t like that stupid ending, no one ever gets a clean pinfall in tna, when a belt is on the line.
Booker T. defeated Christian Cage
I don’t see the purpose of a legends title, maybe a television title, but a legends title? No thanks. I like Booker T and all, but come on, this is a stupid way to put himself over. These two are on the top of their games, and it was nice to see a well rounded wrestling match up for a change. I personally thought that Booker looked really strong in the early moments of this match up. He was reversing all the offense that Christian was trying and was making everything look really good, I couldn’t believe how much Booker managed to get in without Christian coming back. Booker was looking, for once, as the better man. Christian got some great offense in towards the end, but it was Booker with a great roll up who succeeded in winning this match with minimal interference, and retains his belt! Not only that, Christian must now join the main event mafia! That’s right, Booker T wins!
Kurt Angle defeated Abyss in a Falls Count Anywhere Match
Kurt Angle seemed out of his element in this match up. So much so that he was completely dominating Kurt Angle for the most part of this match up. That is until things spilled outside of the ring, as this was a falls count anywhere match up. This wasn’t initially going well for Angle, and Abyss was really putting the boots to Angle, even in the crowd! But of course the Olympic Gold Medalist would come back. Impressively too, as Kurt Angle launched himself off the top of the stage and delivered one heck of a move on Abyss. Full front flip off the stage onto Abyss, that was insane! Seriously, Angle made a HUGE impact with this one move, but it wasn’t’ enough to put away Abyss, and the big man once again got control. The match kept going until Kurt Angle dropped Abyss onto a table from a platform and it was all over. Yep, that’s it, nothing crazy, just a small table bump and that’s it. Kurt Angle wins. Lame.
Kevin Nash defeated Samoa Joe
This match wasn’t so bad, I thought it was going to suck bad. But instead, this match up was quite good, and Samoa Joe carried more than his weight in this match up. Kevin Nash opened up a turnbuckle and most likely was looking to use it against Joe, later in the match up. Nash was never a technical giant at wrestling, but he could throwdown every now and again and in this match he really complimented Joe’s onslaught of attack! I actually was getting into this one, and I was surprised. Joe got busted open, and that wasn’t necessary, but Nash kept ramming his head into the exposed turnbuckle side of the ring. Joe looked really messed up. Nash dropped Joe on the back of his head with the jackknife power bomb for a very close 2 count, and then Joe locked on an arm lock but after a ref bump, Nash rolled up Samoa Joe and used the ropes for leverage and won this one. That’s right, Kevin Nash defeated Samoa Joe! That’s right, the Main Event Mafia was on a winning roll!
Sting defeated AJ Styles
The main event match was definitely interesting since the rest of the Main Event Mafia was on a great roll and if Sting lost, it would sour the evening for sure. AJ was the aggressor in this match up and Sting looked winded early on. I wasn’t sure if AJ was going to win this one as Sting was taking his time on the outside and taking breaks early on. Sting took the action onto the outside and was slowing the pace down completely and that was a dumb movie because this match didn’t start until around 7:35 pm and they were short on time, from my vantage point. Sting really kept things slow with a series of wear down holds including the Abdominal stretch, head locks, and other moves right out of the early 90’s wrestling scene. Aj took advantage of the match pace with some great suplex’s and running combinations, and the crowd was back into this one, until he missed a spear and Sting once again took control! Sting looked to have this sewn up when he went to the top rope, but Aj moved out of the way and started to lay into Sting with reckless abandon! Aj looked ready to win this one when Booker T and Kurt Angle came in and Sting rolled up Aj for the quick win! That’s right, Sting won this match with a roll up! I kid you not, what a piece of crap finish…a roll up!

WWE Smackdown 11/7/08 Results and Review
Here we go, another Smackdown and this one comes a week after Chavo Guerrero got buried into a casket! Awesome!
MVP opens up the show with his in ring promo show, and he claims he hasn’t been focused lately and that’s why he’s losing. MVP’s segment was interrupted by The Great Khali and it is time for the Khali Kiss Cam. I hate the Khali kiss cam, just for the record. MVP is no chump and he proves it by running back to the ring and attacking Khali, and then runs away, like a good heel! MVP is the man! He needs to win for a change though. Word on the street is that Helms is going to beat him sooner than later.
Shelton Benjamin defeated R-Truth
This was a long time coming, Truth has been feuding with Shelton Benjamin for a while, and he has been getting over with the fans. So now he’s getting the title shot! I must admit I was going “What’s Up”! “What’s Up”! I thought this was going to be easy for Truth to win, but it turned out that Benjamin was going to be a lot harder to put away then he expected. Truth was putting the boots to Benjamin and he even threw out a suicide plancha to the floor, and then he went up stairs for a Missile Dropkick! This was awesome! Truth really put on a show for once, and I was marking out like a little kid. But then Benjamin hit The Paydirt and R-Truth loses cleanly to Shelton Benjamin! I couldn’t believe it, R-Truth had his best match in a long time, I loved it.
Ezekiel Jackson defeated Jimmy Wang Yang
Another squash match on WWE programming. What a waste of time. I don’t want to see this crap. Why is Jimmy Wang Yang the new Funaki? He is just getting squashed all the time. I hate this crap. Why not have a Cruiserweight division wwe? Why not? I wanted to just give up here. This match was lame, Jackson killed Yang, that’s all.
The Miz & John Morrison defeated Jeff Hardy & Triple H via Disqualification
Jeff Hardy started off this match trying to prove that he’s still got it, but he was getting worked by Morrison and Miz. Triple H watched on, as Hardy was just getting severely worked, and Triple H just didn’t jump in to save him much. Hardy didn’t tag Triple H in in this match up and he was continually trying to get this win by himself. This could be because he wants another title shot and he told Vickie Guerrero earlier in the show that he was going to proof to her that he’s still Extreme. This of course made for some great double teaming opportunities from Miz & Morrison and no major offense or help from Triple H. Hardy got desperate after not being able to win this on his own and he took out Morrison and Miz with a Steel Chair!
Great Khali defeated MVP
MVP got thrown into this match, and he really needed to win it. I was rooting for him, because he hasn't won a match in a Long time and if he doesn't win sometime soon, he might as well just go to TNA, as it is the custom with people that get fired or leave the wwe. Not like there's any other options for American pro-wrestlers. This isn't 1998 ya know. Khali killed MVP, even though MVP was trying to work over Khali's leg and take the big man down. It was a sad day for MVP as once again he loses and once again Gregory Helms makes fun of him. They are bound to square off sooner than later.
Brie Bella defeated Victoria
Woa, too much make up! Way TOO MUCH MAKEUP! THe divas had so much make up that their faces no longer looked real, and this is sad. This match sucked, I'm sorry, this stupid piece of crap match featured two divas that no one cares about. I've always said that Victoria can wrestle, but she's never involved in good matches anymore. If WWE would just take a look at the Knockouts division, they could feature some compelling wrestling! This match seemed like a standard divas match, even if Victoria did throw up some good moves. It was relatively short and the fans weren't really into it, and neither was I.
The Bella twins finally showed up, and all that under the ring stuff was finally revealed. Lame.
Kozlov defeated The Underkaker via dq
This match was really back and forth and I liked it. I liked where it was going, but then Hardy runs down and interferes, forcing me to get tired and go to sleep. Hardy then begs for a no rules match with The Undertaker next week. Smackdown is getting really really interesting. Kozlov wins again, and we are still going to see who's fighting Triple H at Survivor Series.

This could be because he wants another title shot and he told Vickie Guerrero earlier in the show that he was going to proof to her that he’s still Extreme. This of course made for some great double teaming opportunities from Miz & Morrison and no major offense or help from Triple H. Hardy got desperate after not being able to win this on his own and he took out Morrison and Miz with a Steel Chair!
Great Khali defeated MVP
MVP got thrown into this match, and he really needed to win it. I was rooting for him, because he hasn't won a match in a Long time and if he doesn't win sometime soon, he might as well just go to TNA, as it is the custom with people that get fired or leave the wwe. Not like there's any other options for American pro-wrestlers. This isn't 1998 ya know. Khali killed MVP, even though MVP was trying to work over Khali's leg and take the big man down. It was a sad day for MVP as once again he loses and once again Gregory Helms makes fun of him. They are bound to square off sooner than later.
Brie Bella defeated Victoria
Woa, too much make up! Way TOO MUCH MAKEUP! THe divas had so much make up that their faces no longer looked real, and this is sad. This match sucked, I'm sorry, this stupid piece of crap match featured two divas that no one cares about. I've always said that Victoria can wrestle, but she's never involved in good matches anymore. If WWE would just take a look at the Knockouts division, they could feature some compelling wrestling! This match seemed like a standard divas match, even if Victoria did throw up some good moves. It was relatively short and the fans weren't really into it, and neither was I.
The Bella twins finally showed up, and all that under the ring stuff was finally revealed. Lame.
Kozlov defeated The Underkaker via dq
This match was really back and forth and I liked it. I liked where it was going, but then Hardy runs down and interferes, forcing me to get tired and go to sleep. Hardy then begs for a no rules match with The Undertaker next week. Smackdown is getting really really interesting. Kozlov wins again, and we are still going to see who's fighting Triple H at Survivor Series.

TNA Impact 11/6/08 Review and Results Hitman For The Mafia
The show opens with the Main Event Mafia and an introduction to Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner. He’s the “hitman” for the Mafia.
Booker T & Beer Money defeated Christian & The Motor City Machine Guns
Here we have a six man tag, and I’m not really sure why. I though only WWE perpetually gave us six man tag matches for no apparent reason, and I guess TNA is doing this now too. I know they’ve done it all along but this is the first time I realized it. This match wasn’t too bad, but the ending was kind of stupid to me, a little too much really. The Machine Gun were outside the ring fighting Beer Money while Christian seemed to have things sewn up against Booker T, only to get distracted and then get hit in the head with the TNA Legends belt, and that was that. Booker T pinned Chrisitan Cage.
Matt Morgan & Abyss defeated Tanahashi & Volador, Team 3-D, and Lax
A four way ladder match for a shot at the TNA title, and this was just a huge spot fest. This contest was done Texas Tornado style and each team was in the ring at the same time, as it should be. However, throughout this whole match you didn’t see more than 4 people in the ring at the same time. The best spot was definitely Hernandez jumping out of the ring and getting a face full of ladder as he was 10 feet short of a 12 foot jump. This match seemed to be going fast, but there was a lot of time in between spots spent just setting up the next spot. The whole ring was laid out, and I thought for sure this thing was going to favor Team 3-D somehow, but instead, Abyss climbed to the top of the ladder and pulled down the contract and now they get a shot at the TNA Tag Team Titles!
Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed defeated Taylor Wilde & Rhaka Khan
I wasn’t too sure about this match up, simply because we’ve already seen two tag team matches on the show, even if they were for different reasons. I’m tired of seeing tag matches, honestly, but this wasn’t so bad. Taylor Wilde was the one taking most of the punishment, as Awesome Kong was putting on a wrestling clinic with her, showing her power and prowess. Taylor Wilde was getting worked immediately, and this was most likely because Rhaka Khan can’t really wrestle all that well. Rhaka gets the tag, and she comes in only to chokeslam Taylor Wilde and allow Awesome Kong to deliver the implant buster and Taylor Wilde gets worked in this match up. This is how you do a turn and squash match! Awesome, Taylor Wilde is a true competitor as she takes one heck of a beating in this match up. This is how you do women’s wrestling!
Sting & Kurt Angle defeated Eric Young, Consequences Creed and Jay Lethal
This had squash all over it, seriously, there was no way that these guys were going over on Nash, Sting, and Kurt Angle. OH and thanks TNA ANOTHER six man tag match on the show? Another tag match? Please stop throwing tag matches at me. This was a really quick match and there was not a whole lot to it. I don’t know why I expected more out of TNA because they really screwed me over on this one. Kurt Angle delivered the Angle Slam for the victory as Sting and Nash took care of Lethal and Young on the outside of the ring. This was quick and easy, and a waste of time for anyone watching Tna Impact this week.
Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner defeated Samoa Joe
Finally, a singles match up on TNA Wrestling. Scott Steiner hasn’t been relevant for a long time, but here he’s not half bad. He seems to have lost a considerable amount of weight, and while he still looks large, he doesn’t look as huge as he was in his last WWE run or even his last moments in WCW. He’s still somewhat larger than he was in the early 90’s. Samoa Joe put some great moments in this match even if it was a television match up. I was impressed that Scott Steiner had no problem lifting Joe and throwing him around with some great suplexes, and I was beginning to turn my opinion a little in the early goings of this match up. Best part of this match up was when Joe was running the ropes he missed Scott Steiner only to jump out of the ring with a suicide dive into Kevin Nash who was standing outside of the ring! On returning into the ring though, Scott Steiner knocked him out with a pair of Brass Knuckles, and it was all over!

Over Analyzing Wrestling: The Mexican Wrestler
Quite honestly, not since WCW brought in the high flying Mexican Luchadors to the main stream, the love affair between professional wrestling in America and the high flying Lucha Libre style has been quiet. I remember Lucha Libre’s brightest stars wrestling in WCW as far back as 1989 and the early 90’s in the light weight division as well as Konnan and Rey Mysterio Sr. wrestling in Starrcade.
The WWE flirted with lucha libre’s stars when they brought in several wrestlers to compete in 1997’s Royal Rumble and subsequently allowed many stars to wrestle in the light heavyweight division alongside many Japanese import wrestlers from Michinoku pro wrestling. Then it got quiet in the WWE. Even though mainstream players like Eddie Guerrero and Chavo Guerrero were now involved, they were never truly wrestling the lucha style in the WWF or WWE arenas.
Meanwhile, in WCW and ECW lucha libre was a celebrated form of wrestling and the Mexican stars were welcome parts of weekly programming and main event status here and there. Breakout stars like La Parka, Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr, Silver King, Juventud Guerrera, Ultimo Dragon, Psychosis, and so many more wrestlers came through the WCW Nitro era of wrestling and broke the doors down for Mexico’s stars. ECW too had a lot of lucha talent on their side and sooner than later, WWE had to appreciate the stars and allow them to shine as well.
This didn’t happen until Rey Mysterio Jr. showed up in WWE with his mask back on! Mysterio lost that mask in a match against Kevin Nash, and I never approved, but who cares, right? Mysterio’s high flying offense was later canned for a more steady ground approach and now he’s a shell of his former WCW and Lucha Libre glory.
On the flipside the WWE once again flirted with Mexican stars when they brought in their Mexicools group. Among that group was Juventud Guerrera, Psychosis and Super Crazy! However, that short lived group was disbanded and Super Crazy was relegated to a jobber role in the new ECW that was formed shortly after the group disbanded.
Super Crazy has enjoyed continued money and jobber roles with very little in ring work and lots of losses. Well news broke out this morning that Super Crazy quits. He likes the paycheck but he never gets the push he wants and he is just being wasted.
Will he go to TNA? I hope not, they’ll waste his talent there too. What’s next for the guy? I don’t know.
Can Lucha exist in WWE or TNA? Yes and now. Yes it can exist but only if the bookers and agents allow them to do what they do and forget the consequences. Let them fly, let them wrestle, and don’t mess it up with stupid angles and story lines. Let them be who they are, the greatest pure athletes and idols of Mexico. WCW didn’t screw with the formula and we had amazing matches in the Cruiserweight division.
So with this news about Super Crazy, here’s some classic moments from Lucha Libre’s crossover into the main stream of sorts:
WCW Nitro 97' Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Psichosis
WCW Ultimo Dragon vs. Juventud Guerrera
ECW Tajiri vs. Super Crazy

ECW 11/4/08 Review and Results Election Day Wrestling
We get started quickly on this edition on ECW with one of the worst match ups ever dreamed up by the ECW creative team….
Matt Hardy defeated Bam Neely
This was a stupid idea, as Bam put the boots to Matt Hardy, and for once he looked strong! Seriously, Matt Hardy was looking weak against Bam Neely! The same idiot that gets beat down week in and week out is looking like a real contender, and that bugs me greatly; however, matt hardy gets the victory! As it should be.
Finlay defeated Mark Henry
I used to hate everything Mark Henry, but you know what? He’s actually doing a little better now. He’s actually hitting a good stride and he hasn’t been injured in a while. Meanwhile, Finlay is looking good too, a little bigger than his “fit finlay” days, but he’s out there doing his thing. He takes it to Mark Henry and pulls a victory in this quick match up. Not half bad. Finlay wins by cheating, but all things are good as Finlay will not get an ECW title shot. Will Finlay be the new champ? Maybe.
ECW Results 11/4/08

Finlay defeated Mark Henry
Ricky Ortiz beat an idiot
This was probably one of the worst episodes of ECW I’ve ever seen. Seriously, there is no merit to this edition of ECW as it was short, it had horrible matches and a lot of talking for no apparent reason. This is a waste of an hour for ECW. At least in the olden days of ECW television they would shove in a lot of good wrestling in their allotted time slot. This is a great parody of Ecw, that’s for sure.

WWE Raw 11/3/08 Review and Results 3 hour Raw
I was under the impression that the 800th episode of Raw was done a few weeks back, but apparently it is this one? I don’t know. 3 hours of raw though, and some huge matches, I was a tad bit excited for this one, and here’s how it all went down:
Randy Orton started the show, and he was planning on quitting if someone doesn’t come out and fire Mike Adamle. He then sits down and waits. I think it’s stupid, but what do I know?
The Hardys defeated MVP & The Kendrick
This was an interesting match up, at least initially. I couldn’t believe that they would team up Kendrick with a downward falling MVP, but they went for it, and we all had to just watch. The match went through a lot of motions and The Hardys made it work well, and won. This was the standard Hardys match up with them doing their traditional move set and MVP jobbing once again. This was entertaining, but it wasn’t all that great, it was just another Hardys match to me and didn’t mean a whole lot to the grand scheme of things.
Ted Dibiase, Jamie Noble, Manu, Shad, JTG, Snitsky, and William Regal in an 8 Man Battle Royal (winner gets Intercontinental title shot)
A quick over the top rope match up, with Ted Dibiase throwing out his own partners! The other highlight was Regal and Jamie Noble beating the crap out of each other. JTG was hanging on by a thread with near falls over the top rope, but skating by each time, eventually William Regal threw out Shad and Ted Dibiase, out of nowhere and won the match up, and now Regal will face Santino next week in his home town of Manchester, England! This match was terrible. However, a Regal title shot in his home town would be interesting for next week indeed.
Stephanie McMahon and Shane McMahon showed up on Raw! Shane McMahon forces Randy Orton to wrestle tonight against CM Punk, and Mike Adamle quits Raw.
Vladimir Kozlov defeated Charlie “Hitman” Haas
Charlie Haas comes out dressed as one of my all time favorite wrestlers, and it’s not that great. I don’t like it, but oh well. Kozlov wins this throwaway match up. What a stupid way to get Kozlov over, this isn’t 1998, we don’t need the old Goldberg gimmick. Oh well. He wrestles Undertaker this week, so that should be interesting.
Degeneration X defeated Miz and Morrison
Was this the passing of the tag team torch? Not really, while Miz and Morrison are still one of the better tag teams in the WWE right now, they still lack the charisma and fan disproval that they are seeking. The match favored Triple H and Shawn Michaels, naturally and things were just not that great. This was a very predictable match, considering we’ve seen this version of Degeneration X a lot in the last few years, and while Miz and Morrison might be rising stars, they aren’t going to win this one easily at all, and were taking punishment left and right. Triple H was definitely taking liberties. The Miz and Morrison did turn the match around a couple of times in the match up, but it was short lived to say the least. Two or three moves later Triple H delivers the Pedigree on the Miz and it’s all said and done, Triple H holding down the roster in this tag team match up. It wasn’t even close.
Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix, Layla, Katie Lea Burchill, Jillian, Maryse, Natalya, Victoria & Lena Yada defeated Mae Young, Divas Champion Michelle McCool, Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, Eve, Brie Bella & Tiffany.
There are too many divas to mention, but there were 16 divas involved in this match including Mae Young. This match was lame, too much going on, and not enough experience to cover the amount of in ring performances needed. Mae Young got involved in this match up and she was chopping the crap out of Beth Phoenix! Mae Young then gives some of the weakest left hands I’ve ever seen, and then takes a major tumble, but recovers easily. Mae Young was throwing people out of the ring, and eventually lost to a Beth Phoenix roll up! This was another throwaway match up!
Randy Orton vs. Cm Punk (no contest)
I thought the WWE would give us this match on a major ppv event, not just a random Raw. Well, three hour raw is a lot bigger than usual, but this match never really ended. Rany Orton was clearly going to win this match up and Ted Dibiase ran in for the interference. This prompted Randy Orton to run and kick the crap out of Ted Dibiase, knocking him out completely. Randy Orton then left the ring. This match was going poorly for CM Punk, so there was no apparent reason for Ted Dibiase to run out there. What a waste of time….however, will Randy Orton turn face? Can we get a heel Cena too?
The Undertaker defeated JBL
I can’t believe they threw this match up too; The Undertaker looked strong against JBL, as he should have. JBL didn’t look so hot in this match, and it looks like he’s lost some weight. Undertaker took control early on, but was thwarted by a JBL lariat, and then JBL went to work on the dead man. I didn’t mind this match so much, these two big guys really put on a decent match up, even if it once again was shorter than usual. The Undertaker won this match up out of nowhere against JBL with the tombstone piledriver. It just seemed like too short of a match up. Shawn Michaels threw JBL into the ring, as JBL was planning on leaving the match, and we get Taker winning on Raw!
Kung Funaki, Goldust, Jesse and Festus, Boogeyman, Michael Cole, Sgt. Slaughter, Dusty Rhodes, Lillian Garcia, Teddy Long, and Hornswoggle had a dance party in the middle of the ring. Prompting Ron Simmons to come out and say; “DAMN!”
Kane & Mark Henry defeated Rey Mysterio & World Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston
The monsters once again look dominant as they started this match against Rey Mysterio. Mysterio got some quick offense in, using his speed as an advantage, but it seemed that Kane wasn’t having it as he stopped Mysterio in his tracks, with ease. Mark Henry got in and once again he was putting on a show against Mysterio. The Great Khali came out and attacked Kane out of nowhere! He then got into the ring and attacked Mark Henry! Not exactly sure why? Mysterio then delivered the 619 on Mark Henry who then walked into a huge chop from the Great Khali, and this match never really ended as far as I can tell.
Chris Jericho defeated Batista in a World Heavyweight Championship Cage Match
Your standard cage match here, and almost the same match that Jericho had with CM Punk. It looked as though Jericho was timing it so that he could win the world title by falling out of the cage and at one point almost fell out completely, had he not held onto the fence. Jericho took it to Batista for the most part, having more offense than Batista. The Highlight for me was, Batista missing the spear and ramming himself right into the side of the cage head first nearly losing the match up. Batista got up and caught Jericho trying to climb out, but right outside the door, and this was a setup for the end, Chris Jericho then got into the ring and tried his hardest to avoid the Batista Bomb, eventually freeing himself. Jericho was nearly out of the ring again, but Batista grabbed him and it looked like we’re getting a super batista bomb, but Jericho grabbed a steel ring from the cables that hold the Cage in place and busted Batista open the hard way! This became a classic when Jericho came down first against Batista! Seriously, Chris Jericho once again is the world champion, and Batista was left in the ring a bloody mess! That’s right, Chris Jericho defeated Batista in a cage match to win the World Heavyweight Title!

Triple H was definitely taking liberties. The Miz and Morrison did turn the match around a couple of times in the match up, but it was short lived to say the least. Two or three moves later Triple H delivers the Pedigree on the Miz and it’s all said and done, Triple H holding down the roster in this tag team match up. It wasn’t even close.
Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix, Layla, Katie Lea Burchill, Jillian, Maryse, Natalya, Victoria & Lena Yada defeated Mae Young, Divas Champion Michelle McCool, Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, Eve, Brie Bella & Tiffany.
There are too many divas to mention, but there were 16 divas involved in this match including Mae Young. This match was lame, too much going on, and not enough experience to cover the amount of in ring performances needed. Mae Young got involved in this match up and she was chopping the crap out of Beth Phoenix! Mae Young then gives some of the weakest left hands I’ve ever seen, and then takes a major tumble, but recovers easily. Mae Young was throwing people out of the ring, and eventually lost to a Beth Phoenix roll up! This was another throwaway match up!
Randy Orton vs. Cm Punk (no contest)
I thought the WWE would give us this match on a major ppv event, not just a random Raw. Well, three hour raw is a lot bigger than usual, but this match never really ended. Rany Orton was clearly going to win this match up and Ted Dibiase ran in for the interference. This prompted Randy Orton to run and kick the crap out of Ted Dibiase, knocking him out completely. Randy Orton then left the ring. This match was going poorly for CM Punk, so there was no apparent reason for Ted Dibiase to run out there. What a waste of time….however, will Randy Orton turn face? Can we get a heel Cena too?
The Undertaker defeated JBL
I can’t believe they threw this match up too; The Undertaker looked strong against JBL, as he should have. JBL didn’t look so hot in this match, and it looks like he’s lost some weight. Undertaker took control early on, but was thwarted by a JBL lariat, and then JBL went to work on the dead man. I didn’t mind this match so much, these two big guys really put on a decent match up, even if it once again was shorter than usual. The Undertaker won this match up out of nowhere against JBL with the tombstone piledriver. It just seemed like too short of a match up. Shawn Michaels threw JBL into the ring, as JBL was planning on leaving the match, and we get Taker winning on Raw!
Kung Funaki, Goldust, Jesse and Festus, Boogeyman, Michael Cole, Sgt. Slaughter, Dusty Rhodes, Lillian Garcia, Teddy Long, and Hornswoggle had a dance party in the middle of the ring. Prompting Ron Simmons to come out and say; “DAMN!”
Kane & Mark Henry defeated Rey Mysterio & World Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston
The monsters once again look dominant as they started this match against Rey Mysterio. Mysterio got some quick offense in, using his speed as an advantage, but it seemed that Kane wasn’t having it as he stopped Mysterio in his tracks, with ease. Mark Henry got in and once again he was putting on a show against Mysterio. The Great Khali came out and attacked Kane out of nowhere! He then got into the ring and attacked Mark Henry! Not exactly sure why? Mysterio then delivered the 619 on Mark Henry who then walked into a huge chop from the Great Khali, and this match never really ended as far as I can tell.
Chris Jericho defeated Batista in a World Heavyweight Championship Cage Match
Your standard cage match here, and almost the same match that Jericho had with CM Punk. It looked as though Jericho was timing it so that he could win the world title by falling out of the cage and at one point almost fell out completely, had he not held onto the fence. Jericho took it to Batista for the most part, having more offense than Batista. The Highlight for me was, Batista missing the spear and ramming himself right into the side of the cage head first nearly losing the match up. Batista got up and caught Jericho trying to climb out, but right outside the door, and this was a setup for the end, Chris Jericho then got into the ring and tried his hardest to avoid the Batista Bomb, eventually freeing himself. Jericho was nearly out of the ring again, but Batista grabbed him and it looked like we’re getting a super batista bomb, but Jericho grabbed a steel ring from the cables that hold the Cage in place and busted Batista open the hard way! This became a classic when Jericho came down first against Batista! Seriously, Chris Jericho once again is the world champion, and Batista was left in the ring a bloody mess! That’s right, Chris Jericho defeated Batista in a cage match to win the World Heavyweight Title!
