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

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

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

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

Tna Impact 4/22/09 Results and Review The Foley Era Begins Again
Tna Impact 4/22/09 Results
Beer Money defeated Lethal Consequences
Sojourner Bolt defeated Taylor Wilde Ladder Match
Aj Styles defeated Kevin Nash via Disqualifications
Outlaw Jethro Holliday & Eric Young defeated No Limit
Jeff Jarrett Scott Steiner
Tna Impact 4/22/09 Review
I woke up with a stuffy nose and I didn’t want to review TNA. My ears were clogged so I had to turn up the volume a lot more than I wanted, but I managed to get things in order.
The show opened with Mick Foley and Jeff Jarrett in ring. Foley tried to inspire Jeff Jarrett and made a match for him. This segment was weird because Foley is activating the role of general manager and his role as Champion, which presents a conflict of interest in my opinion. However, no one cares, so we’ll move on.
Beer Money defeated Lethal Consequences
A new tag team tournament was announced and Beer Money was the first team out. Lethal Consequences came out and these two teams put on one heck of a tag team showcase. From tandem moves to high spots, this match had it al in a short time. I wish more tag teams were created to stay together like Beer Money has in TNA. They are definitely a major throwback to the 1980’s longevity that was seen in the Tag team era. The match was good, and for once I thought that TNA had hope for a brighter future. As long as they keep pushing their tag teams in this manner, we can see a great thing happen. Beer Money chasing the belts is a nice fit in this wrestling promotion. Beer Money gets the win, by teaming up on Lethal and hitting him with their double finishing move.
Sojourner Bolt defeated Taylor Wilde Ladder Match
Now this I can get behind all day. This match was a ladder match for a title shot. Back suplex off the ladder from Sojourner was great. Sojourner Bolt took out Brass Knuckles! The two women went back and forth in this match up, and Bolt was getting the worse of it. Bolt hit Taylor Wilde in the face with some Brass Knuckles and this match was over. This match was going good, but this match was too short, and the match didn’t develop as well as I thought it would. Overall, good stuff, I liked the use of Brass Knuckles.
Aj Styles defeated Kevin Nash via Disqualifications
Nash actually was in ring wrestling! I haven’t seen this much vigor out of Nash in a long time. Even the weekend ppv match wasn’t all that great. Nash was dominant for the most part of this match, and styles didn’t hit as hard as he usually does, and he was trying to keep things paced in his favor. Nash got hit with Pele and I thought it was over. Nash was really slow late on in the match, as if he legitimately was tired. Aj Styles then got to shine with some highspots, only to miss. Rudy Charles threw the match out and disqualified Kevin Nash when Booker T interfered, and I hated the ending. Lame.
Outlaw Jethro Holliday & Eric Young defeated No Limit
TREVOR MURDOCH shows up! He’s in this tag team tournament! That’s right former WWE star Trevor Murdoch was in this match up! Eric Young teamed up with him for this match up. This match didn’t have a lot of stellar wrestling, Young and Holliday thought managed to get some good shots in. It was a good overall showdown, and it ended with Eric Young winning with a nice crucifix pin.
Jeff Jarrett Scott Steiner
Mick Foley was on color commentary and this was a hilarious match. This match up was just another hardcore match, and it wasn’t half bad. The plunder was all over the place, and I had to mark out huge for the suplex on a trashcan from Steiner to Jarrett. Scott Steiner’s huge back suplex off the top rope was insane! Jarrett’s Electric chair towards the end was cool, but it seemed a bit overkill. Jarrett hits the guitar shot on Steiner, then The Stroke, and Jarrett pins Steiner clean…well…as clean as you can get in a hardcore match.

Ecw on Scifi 4/21/09 Results and Review Bland Tastes
Ecw on Scifi 4/21/09 Results
Hornswoggle defeated Natalya
Evan Bourne defeated Paul Burchill with Katie Lea
Vladimir Kozlov defeated Jobber
Ecw on Scifi 4/21/09 Review
Finlay opened the show with the announcement that Hornswoggle will be going to Raw and that he would going to wrestle tonight! Natalya came out with Tyson Kidd and started to make fun of Hornswoggle!
Hornswoggle defeated Natalya
This was a throwaway match, and had Hornswoggle defeating Natalya in a very short…no pun intended, match. Natalya rolled up fast and that was the end of this match and a goodbye for Hornswoggle on Ecw.
Evan Bourne defeated Paul Burchill with Katie Lea
Paul Burchill was going full force against Evan Bourne in this match up. He pulled a nice double knee offense into the corner, but outside of that he was relying on rest holds to ground Evan Bourne and keep him away from the ropes. This resulted in a lot of good power moves, including a fisherman’s release suplex! So the match began and continued through with rest hold then power move style, but you knew Evan Bourne was going to mount a comeback. Evan Bourne and Paul Burchill exchanged near falls for a good portion of the match, but it was the youngster that pulled it out of the hat with the shooting star press for the victory. Hopefully the WWE does something more with Bourne, as his matches are becoming very predictable.
Vladimir Kozlov defeated Jobber
This jobber posed no serious threat to Kozlov. In fact this could be called a throwback to the old days of wrestling as Kozlov just power moved his way o an easy win. The Jobber just took it and was happy to get paid to be beat up.
Jack Swagger and Christian had a contract signing. Jack Swagger was ranting about how he’s on top of the wrestling world and at least ECW. Christian didn’t say very match he just stared at the ECW champion. Christian on the mic is perfect, I couldn’t believe that the Wwe allowed him to tear up Jack Swagger so well.
The signing turned into a melee and Swagger hit a power bomb through the table set up in ring and Christian was left in ring buried. The crowd didn’t react too much, and Swagger looked dumb to me.

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/20/09 Results and Review From the UK
WWE Monday Night Raw 4/20/09 Results
Batista defeated Chavo Guerrero
CM Punk defeated Kane
Melina defeated Beth Phoenix in a women’s title match
John Cena defeated Chris Jericho via Disqualification after Edge interfered
The Big Show defeated Rey Mysterio Jr (non title)
Randy Orton defeated Triple H in a NO Dq match
WWE Monday Night Raw 4/20/09 Review
The show opened up with Chris Jericho addressing the crowd, talking about how he is finally leaving and he is done with Raw and he hates it there. This prompted Ricky Steamboat to come down to ringside. Steamboat says thank you to Y2J, in a weird segment. This was a weird start to Raw. John Cena came out to ring side at this point. After more ranting, Cena makes sure to tell Chris Jericho that he’s going to have to wrestle Cena tonight.
Batista defeated Chavo Guerrero
Chavo was fed to the lions again. This match was just Batista hitting the Batista bomb then pinning Chavo. That was it, there was nothing else to it. They squashed Chavo yet again. Chavo got on the mic after the match and he claimed he wasn’t ready, so Batista came back to ringside and delivered yet another Batista bomb. Chavo should quit at this point, he’s just getting jobbed out every time he wrestles.
CM Punk defeated Kane
Kane was getting hit with a lot of offense from Punk. Punk kept working over Kane, but it seemed like it wasn’t enough. Kane started to dominate, and started to throw his weight around, but it was to no avail. Kane went for a chokeslam but Punk countered, rolled up the big red machine and won this match in a blink of an eye. Overall not the greatest match in the world, but not the worst. I didn’t really think it was all that good, but it was Raw, so I just went for it anyways.
Santino came out to ringside. He asked for Santina to come out to ringside! The titan tron showed a pre-recorded video of Santina telling the audience that he is in Italy and that she can’t kiss Khali. This was a weird program, and as things progressed, the prerecorded video sped up. This segment was tanking, and then we were greeted with Beth Phoenix coming down to ringside.
Melina defeated Beth Phoenix in a women’s title match
This match was standard divas match. It was really too short to develop anything interesting. Melina rolled up Beth Phoenix after a nice sunset flip, and won this match easily. I’m not sure why these matches are so slow to build, but it happens. Melina retains easily.
John Cena defeated Chris Jericho via Disqualification after Edge interfered
Would the WWE let the heavyweight champion get beat by someone changing brands? I thought about that as Chris Jericho was dominant early on against John Cena. The crowd was chanting Y2J early on, but there were definitely some John Cena fans out there, splitting the crowd quite nicely. Cena hit his four move set up and was going for the Attitude Adjustment, but was countered by a sly Chris Jericho. Jericho seemed to have this match lost with Cena nearly getting the STFU, then into a reversal small package, but Cena power lifted Jericho! It was time for the Attitude Adjustment but for the first time, a creative counter had Jericho flipping nearly to his feet, then out of nowhere landing the Code Breaker! I was marking out huge, and if you saw this, you were too, I’ve never seen such a creative counter to the Attitude Adjustment! Jericho couldn’t keep Cena down, and after Cena kicked out of that finisher, he finally hit the Attitude Adjustment, but couldn’t pin Jericho! This match started to heat up, and a frustrated Cena went to the top rope to deliver his leg drop, but was countered into The Walls of Jericho! The 1992 Survivor Series finish between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels came to mind in this part, and Cena was dead center in the ring in the Walls of Jericho! It wasn’t to be, Cena rolled out of it, then put on the STF! That wasn’t enough, as Jericho got to the ropes. At this point I actually liked this match better than the other matches that these guys have had, but then EDGE came out and interfered, and that was the end of the match. They ruined such a great match up. Edge attacked Cena, most likely giving Jericho a loss in the record books, but believe me when I tell you that this match had an amazing amount of counters and entertainment before the stupid ending.
Post match, Edge hit Cena with a Concierto, and then got on the mic and counted to 10, claiming that he’s already knocked out John Cena. Cena didn’t answer the 10 count and Edge was getting the biggest cheers for a heel in a long time.
The Big Show defeated Rey Mysterio Jr (non title)
The Big show mishandled Rey Mysterio, and just won the match. Mysterio had no major offense in this match. Way to squash the Intercontinental champion, huh? Oh well, Mysterio gets squashed, Show just looks like a douche.
Randy Orton defeated Triple H in a NO Dq match
These two guys really tried to make this worthwhile. They used the steel steps, fought outside, and just made it look like a ppv caliber match up. That being said, it had the speed of a ppv match up, with both wrestlers methodically moving from point to point, and resting for random moments throughout the match, setting up the next big spot. The match got good when Orton got thrown into a trash can with a Spinebuster. Priceless came down and started fighting Triple H, then came down Shane Mcmahon to help him out. He was getting worked, then was thrown out of the ring. The Orton team was fighting off priceless with ease, and in the melee knocked out Shane McMahon with a spear. The ring was eventually cleared, and out of the blue Randy Orton hit the RKO and won the match! That’s right, Randy Orton defeated Triple H via pinfall!

That’s right folks, we get another TNA ppv, and I don’t know how I do it, but I get to review it because Comcast lets me every now and again. So here we go, the tna review, or however it is you want me to call this thing.
Eric Young defeated Danny Bonaduce
Eric Young is so much bigger than Danny. That’s the first thing that I saw in this match up. Eric Young was laying into Danny and it looked great, but Danny got a few shots in, nothing too insane, but he was trying more than the average jobber. Eric Young defeated Danny after a few minutes, and this was a throwaway match up.
Post match Danny attacked young from behind, but Rhino ran down to ringside and speared the crap out of Danny, and this segment finally ended.
What a terrible thing to give away in the pre-show, but it was free…well…free for those that ordered it.
Suicide defeated Jay “Black Machismo” Lethal, Kiyoshi, Consequences Creed, and Sheik Abdul Bashir
I was under the assumption that there were teams in this match up, it all confused me; Specifically because this match up was just left and right action. Everyone was just free for all, with the exception of Lethal and Creed, who were teaming together to make things a little different.
Kiyoshi was eliminated first.
Creed and Machismo together were doing good as a team. I liked how they were cleaning house and trying to make this match more than just high spots. It wasn’t meant to be though, Sheik hit the DDT of Mass Destruction and eliminates Creed.
Consequences Creed was eliminated next.
Suicide’s running lariat eighteen minutes into the match up was nice. He turned Lethal inside out!
Black Machismo got eliminated somewhere, when I went to a bathroom break and my wife was reading her twitter instead of watching the wrestling. Lame.
I came back to see Suicide and Bashir getting into the match up hook line and sinker. At this point I wanted Suicide to lose cause he’s lame. I don’t really like Bashir, but at this point, he’s better than Suicide. Kiyoshi ran down to ringside and tried to stop Suicide from getting out of the cage. He jumped off of the top onto a pile of people to win this match up. This was a terrible match, in 23 minutes, the x-division was suppose to be good.
ODB defeated Madison Rayne, Sojourner Bolt, and Daffney
I’m assuming this too was an elimination match. These things confuse me, I want to say that TNA is NOT all gimmicky crap, but this is just another nail in their coffin. I hate this crap.
ODB won this match. I guess it wasn’t an elimination match up. It was a queen of the cage! This was an ok match, but it was just boring to me. There were a few high spots, but not really something that was going to gain more fans. They really wasted their time with this match up.
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated LAX, and No Limit in a WGP Jr. Tag Championship match up
When WCW had those great N64 games I would make matches like this. Seriously, I made these types of matches. That’s also how slow this match was. The middle of the ring was opened up for the most part. The edges were filled with people hitting right hands, elbows, and the middle had Hernandez hitting power moves. Seriously, I hate this crappy wrestling. TNA STOP MAKING Six Sided Cage matches with 20 people inside! Ok, not 20, but if you saw this match, you know what I’m talking about. There just wasn’t enough room in this match to make something good. There were too much competitors in a small ring, and it just came across as stupid to me. Maybe the Chocolate Stout was talking at this point, but I really didn’t think this match was all that good at all. This match was one fall and The Motor City Machine Guns won. I didn’t like it.
Matt “The Blueprint” Morgan defeated Abyss
This match stared with Abyss driving himself into Matt Morgan, shoving his weight around, trying to throw Morgan through the cage as he was just opening up like a house on fire against Matt Morgan. Matt Morgan knocked out Abyss with a kick to the face with a chair, and busted him wide open, creating the first major casualty on the ppv as far as blood is concerned. Morgan then started to lay into the forehead of Abyss. Matt Morgan introduced something I haven’t seen in a very long time. He brought out a bag full of shards of glass! Yea, that was a little weird, and I guess it was part of the match. It couldn’t have been real glass because Morgan was grasping the pieces with his bare hands, and you know that’s not possible without cutting your hand. The Ref got taken out with a Matt Morgan cross body block and business really started to pick up here. Stevie Richards came down to ringside to stop Abyss from using a chair on Matt Morgan! That’s right, Stevie Richards ran down to ringside to stop Abyss! I guess the big revelation was that Doctor Stevie is none other than Stevie Richards. Richards got into the ring to stop Abyss, verbally assaulting him, then slapping him, trying to stop him from using tacks. Morgan than hit a huge slam on Abyss onto thumbtacks and glass; he won after pinning Abyss.
I admit, the match started of great, but it really slowed down to nothing more than a parody of a Mick Foley, mid 90’s match. Abyss has a lot of talent, and he’s just taking pointless risks at this point. Matt Morgan shouldn’t be involved in this feud, but oh well. Stevie Richards return? That was kind of cool, I have to admit that.
Angelina Love defeated Awesome Kong and Taylor Wilde in a triple threat Knockout championship match
A triple threat match isn’t exactly what I wanted at this point. Honestly, an hour into this thing and I personally no longer cared about this ppv, it just seemed overkill as it always does to have every match in a steel cage. It never worked for WWE and it doesn’t work for TNA right now. At least not for me, I didn’t really like it. This match had some great spots from Awesome Kong. Kong missed a top rope dive, she also had to fight of Taylr Wilde. The ending of this match up came with Angelina Love playing possum. She had her tag team partner outside tie up Kong’s hair to the cage and so she was stuck. Taylor Wilde then was surprised by Love playing possum, a roll up happened and we got the pinfall win and NEW Knockout champion Angelina Love! Not a great match, not a memorable title change, but it happens.
Team 3-D defeated Beer Money in a IWGP Tag Team Titles & TNA Tag Team Titles Match
With so much hype over those New Japan belts in this match, I had it in mind to root for Team 3-D because they are in need of another championship. This match started with Team 3-D cleaning house, literary, throwing Beer Money out of the ring, then following them out to trash them. The fight went into the audience, then we got the good ol’ fashioned split screen. Things came towards the ring, and a table was set up! Beer Money double suplexed Devon through a table at ringside, then threw Bubba Ray Dudley into the cage, his face completely busted open. The third rope Bubba Bomb onto Robert Roode was definitely a highlight for me that was incredible. Towards the end of this match up, Team 3-D really got into a groove and looked great. They seemed to be having fun for a change, and things were going quite well for them. Devon was getting a table, Bubba was setting up, Beer Money was down and reeling from the onslaught of offense. But then Beer Money got a leg up, and started to use their skills to strike like the champs that they are. Throwing Team 3-D into the cage, setting up the Last Call, and just trying everything they could to win this match up. Beer Money miscalculated the cage door bump to the head, and Team 3-D hit 3D to win this match up! They are the new TNA Champions!
Chris Daniels, Aj Styles, Samoa Joe, Jeff Jarrett defeated Kurt Angle, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash
Kurt Angle and Chris Daniels started this first period, and they were just mat wrestling. Nothing too crazy was happening in this match up, then Booker T came down and him and Kurt Angle were having their way with Daniels. (I know that sounds gross, but it was true man, what can I say). Scott Steiner jumped into the match and it had some nice belly to belly suplexes off the top rope on Styles and Daniels! Samoa Joe was scheduled to come out but for some reason he wasn’t coming out. He just stayed behind, and then came out with a few seconds later. He immediately hit Steiner, then went back and forth with the Main Event Mafia, hitting every suplex in the book, reminding me of Tazz’s old wrestling style. Kevin Nash came out, but was immediately kicked in the face by Joe, hitting the fence immediately. Kevin Nash and Samoa Joe exchanged blows outside, but then he forced himself into the ring and was just dominating early on. With so many bodies in the ring, this thing started to really slow down. Then came down Jeff Jarrett and things were starting to pick up in an all new way. This match was fairly gimmick free, until the roof of the cage lowered down with all sorts of weapons hanging from the top of it! Oh man, this is the biggest gimmick match of all, and what a load of crap. This was worse than the old Raven’s funhouse matches. They switched to a six way camera view of the action and I had no idea what to watch, this was like a weird video game of some kind. Aj Styles and Kurt Angle were fighting on top of the cage. This looked very dangerous, a lot more dangerous than the Hell in the Cell bump. Aj jumped off the top into the middle of the ring, and it looked like Steiner just got his knee blown out! Not a lot of people caught him it was bad, it was really bad, and it was a great match pivot point at this time. There were just too many people in the ring, which made things really bad. There was just too much going on for the camera’s to follow. In fact this reminded me of the old wrestling games on Genesis or SNES, just a lot of crap going on in the ring, the occasional nice finisher, but nothing really going good. Jarrett hit Booker T with a guitar shot, AJ pinned him and this train wreck of a match completely blew up and it was over. This match sucked, I’m sorry, it was just too jumbled.
Post match, the lights went out. Then out came none other than Bobby Lashley! That’s right, Bobby Lashley came out! BOBBY LASHLEY came out and pointed his finger at the cage!
Cactus Jack defeated Sting to win the TNA Championship
I saw Beyond the Mat this weekend and boy was that a nice lead into this match up, which featured a much older Mick Foley in a cage match against Sting for the Tna heavyweight title. Lame. Immediately, this match turned macabre with Cactus Jack getting his face grated open through the side of the cage. This match was a good attempt at trying to entertain jaded wrestling fans, and it told a good story. Sting’s overtly better wrestling skills and stamina shown through, as Cactus Jack was trying to give it another go at it. This match had a silent crowd for the most part, until Cactus put on the Scorpion Death Lock, but didn’t get a submission out of it. This was a really slow moving match up, and Cactus started to act like a madman. At one point he slid into the cage on purpose in order to hit the camera man, and then he tried to get out of the cage through a hole made for the camera guy. Sting turned on the Scorpion Death Lock, it looked like it was going to be over somehow. Meanwhile, Foley got the barbed wire bat into the ring, and was ready to use it on Sting! Cactus Jack hit Sting in the crotch with the barbed wire bat, it looked terrible; a drop toe hold got Foley down, and Sting got the bat and was ready for revenge. Mr. Socko comes out! Sting finally gets busted open, but not really crazy. Foley took the barbed wire bat and hit Sting in the face with it. Foley and Sting started to climb out of the cage, and FOLEY drops out of the cage first, to WIN the TNA World Title! That’s right, MICK FOLEY defeats STING to win the TNA TITLE! MICK FOLEY IS THE NEW TNA CHAMPION!

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 4/17/09 Results and Review Post Draft
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 4/17/09 Results
Jeff Hardy defeated The Big Show
Gail Kim defeated Maryse (Non Title)
John Morrison defeated R Truth
The Undertaker defeated Shelton Benjamin
Dolph Ziggler defeated MVP (Non Title)
Batista defeated Ted Dibiase Jr.
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 4/17/09 Review
The show started out with wrestling, no talking, just wrestling!
Jeff Hardy defeated The Big Show
As with all Big Show matches, he came out dominant and was just throwing his weight around. Hardy’s strategy wasn’t working at all, and Show was just hitting hard and showing off. Matt Hardy showed up right when Jeff was mounting a comeback against the Big Show and things were looking like Show was going to win. Jeff came back to the ring and hit the Whisper in the Wind, but Big Show caught him, turned around and socked Jeff Hardy in the face, then pinned him for the win! Big Show had a little bit of a battle in this match, but he managed to edge out Jeff Hardy.
Post match Matt Hardy was in the ring slapping Jeff Hardy around. This proved to be funny to me because I thought Matt was now on Raw, not Smackdown. I guess the draft doesn’t really mean anything, now does it? Lame.
The Khali kiss cam went Milf! That’s right, Khali had somewhat of a good looking milf volunteer and get into the ring. She was good looking, for a change, and Khali finally gets a fair shake!
Gail Kim defeated Maryse
Gail Kim put on a show here. Maryse wasn’t that great, and she even missed a cue and it looked bad. Gail Kim ran circles around Maryse as far as wrestling ability is concerned and I thought it was great. However, the fans were dead for this one, and it was disheartening to see no reaction to an obviously good woman wrestler. The divas should be put on notice, cause Gail Kim is impressing the crap out of me.
John Morrison defeated R Truth
Alright, I’m not too keen on these two guys, but I liked them. They were hitting hard in there, and you could tell that notion when Morrison was kicked in the chin hard with a Scissors Kick to the face. Morrison dropped R Truth on the back of his head and then hit his Finisher and BOOM, R Truth loses again; Remember when he was getting a good push? Yeah, those days are done.
Triple H was confronted by Randy Orton via Satellite…haha…it was terrible. We find out that the Monday Night raw match up they will have is going to be a No DQ match up.
The Undertaker defeated Shelton Benjamin
There was no chance in hell that Shelton Benjamin was going to win this match up. Could you believe the upset if Shelton Benjamin won this one? Remember when Maven threw out the Undertaker at the Royal Rumble way back when? The Undertaker nearly killed him, and man was that a great piece of that years Royal Rumble. Anyways, back to this match up. This match was cool, but the commercial in the middle made everyone miss a good part of the match up. However, Shelton was getting a lot of offense in, he actually almost made you believe that he had a shot at beating him. Yeah, I may have doubted whether or not Undertaker was going to win this match up. The Undertaker turned things around and gave Shelton Benjamin a picture perfect Tombstone for the easy win against the Gold Standard. I liked this match a lot, I really liked how Benjamin was hitting the big moves, and still not getting the win. You gotta respect the effort in this match up.
Dolph Ziggler defeated MVP
MVP started out this match quite fast, but Dolph Ziggler turned things around afterwards. Dolph had way too much tan, and he was definitely quite good for a beginner. I like his style, he could be a good established star if he doesn’t get in trouble for drugs again. I would cut down the tanning though, he is way too tan. However, he is doing good out there, however tonight wasn’t his night…until amidst a roll up he pulled the tights and won! That’s right, the WWE threw me a curve ball and MVP lost against Dolph Ziggler! That wasn’t half bad.
Batista defeated Ted Dibiase Jr.
Oh man, Batista is back and in full force. Ted Dibiase worked over Batista’s leg, trying to cut him down to size and forcing him to try to tire out the big man. Batista was doing a great job of cornering Batista off from his power moves. It was a good overall gameplan, and we saw shades of The Million Dollar Man in this match up, as he kept fighting through. The match would be cut short, but not before Batista gets thrown through the ropes and took a nasty bump. Ted Dibiase delivered a picture perfect Russian Leg Sweep and also dropped both feet on Batista’s abdomen, and I was on Team Dibiase at that point. He was definitely making Batista look weak, and for once, I liked a Batista match! Like all the great champions of old, Batista made a miraculous comeback and dropped Ted Dibiase with a backdrop, followed by a good Spinebuster! A spear was next and Batista was getting a second wind, limping on his hurt leg, but managed to deliver a huge Batista Bomb, which was awesome. Batista won! Who would’ve known?
Overall, Smackdown tonight was good. I liked it. I drank a Alaskan IPA while reviewing this, so it might have been that, which made me like this night. I liked how they had a lot of wrestling.

They were hitting hard in there, and you could tell that notion when Morrison was kicked in the chin hard with a Scissors Kick to the face. Morrison dropped R Truth on the back of his head and then hit his Finisher and BOOM, R Truth loses again; Remember when he was getting a good push? Yeah, those days are done.
Triple H was confronted by Randy Orton via Satellite…haha…it was terrible. We find out that the Monday Night raw match up they will have is going to be a No DQ match up.
The Undertaker defeated Shelton Benjamin
There was no chance in hell that Shelton Benjamin was going to win this match up. Could you believe the upset if Shelton Benjamin won this one? Remember when Maven threw out the Undertaker at the Royal Rumble way back when? The Undertaker nearly killed him, and man was that a great piece of that years Royal Rumble. Anyways, back to this match up. This match was cool, but the commercial in the middle made everyone miss a good part of the match up. However, Shelton was getting a lot of offense in, he actually almost made you believe that he had a shot at beating him. Yeah, I may have doubted whether or not Undertaker was going to win this match up. The Undertaker turned things around and gave Shelton Benjamin a picture perfect Tombstone for the easy win against the Gold Standard. I liked this match a lot, I really liked how Benjamin was hitting the big moves, and still not getting the win. You gotta respect the effort in this match up.
Dolph Ziggler defeated MVP
MVP started out this match quite fast, but Dolph Ziggler turned things around afterwards. Dolph had way too much tan, and he was definitely quite good for a beginner. I like his style, he could be a good established star if he doesn’t get in trouble for drugs again. I would cut down the tanning though, he is way too tan. However, he is doing good out there, however tonight wasn’t his night…until amidst a roll up he pulled the tights and won! That’s right, the WWE threw me a curve ball and MVP lost against Dolph Ziggler! That wasn’t half bad.
Batista defeated Ted Dibiase Jr.
Oh man, Batista is back and in full force. Ted Dibiase worked over Batista’s leg, trying to cut him down to size and forcing him to try to tire out the big man. Batista was doing a great job of cornering Batista off from his power moves. It was a good overall gameplan, and we saw shades of The Million Dollar Man in this match up, as he kept fighting through. The match would be cut short, but not before Batista gets thrown through the ropes and took a nasty bump. Ted Dibiase delivered a picture perfect Russian Leg Sweep and also dropped both feet on Batista’s abdomen, and I was on Team Dibiase at that point. He was definitely making Batista look weak, and for once, I liked a Batista match! Like all the great champions of old, Batista made a miraculous comeback and dropped Ted Dibiase with a backdrop, followed by a good Spinebuster! A spear was next and Batista was getting a second wind, limping on his hurt leg, but managed to deliver a huge Batista Bomb, which was awesome. Batista won! Who would’ve known?
Overall, Smackdown tonight was good. I liked it. I drank a Alaskan IPA while reviewing this, so it might have been that, which made me like this night. I liked how they had a lot of wrestling.

Tna Impact 4/16/09 Results
Homicide defeated Chris Sabin and Naito in a triple threat match
Taylor Wilde, Awesome Kong, and Raisha Saeed defeated The Beautiful People
Abyss & Daffney defeated ODB & Cody Deaner
Christopher Daniels defeated Kurt Angle
Tna Impact 4/16/09 Review
Like every good or bad wrestling show, this show started with people talking inside the ring. It was lame. It was just “Do you trust me” crap.
Homicide defeated Chris Sabin and Naito in a triple threat match
This was a triple threat match. It seemed that Sabin and Naito were working together but that ended fast when Sabin hopped up out of delivering a Chin Lock to hit a nice lariat. This was fast paced and good to look at. It was high spot after high spots, but a lot of interesting fluid wrestling. This match was like watching someone play the N64 Wrestling games, because it seemed that this was choreographed by some gamer with a bit of nostalgia. Naito had some very picture perfect wrestling moves, including flyinig lariats and a beautiful bridge suplex. Sabin’s tornado ddt with a Insaguri combination was a highlight of this match up. The 187 off the middle rope ended this one, and it was picture perfect!
There was an interview with double J…lame. ODB had a backstage segment, lame. The Main Event mafia were interviewed.
Taylor Wilde, Awesome Kong, and Raisha Saeed defeated The Beautiful People
This match didn’t even get started. I mean, it did start, but it was too short to make a good match up. The knockout division usually is good, but the last few impact shows it’s been really a slow build. This was a terrible match up, and it ended with Kong’s Implant Buster.
Post match they wanted to cut more hair, and took out Taylor Wilde and Raisha Saeed by sending them face first into the woman’s title. The Beautiful People also sprayed something into Kong’s eye and then knocked her out with the Title Belt and they went ahead and cut her hair! This had to be the ultimate humiliation.
Abyss & Daffney defeated ODB & Cody Deaner
I haven’t seen Daffney in a while, and I like her. She is pretty cool. I mean, she looks cool, I like her better than ODB that’s for sure. They kept playing up that Cody Deaner isn’t a wrestler, but he got in there with Abyss at one point and was basically getting trashed. Abyss gets the win in another short match.
Post match Matt Morgan ran down and beat Abyss up.
Mick Foley tried to give himself, Cactus Jack an Interview. Then Sting came out. It was stupid. This whole thing is dumb. Foley then beat up sting. This feud sucks.
Balls Mahoney showed up! Spike Dudley was there too1 The two former ECW standby’s were getting worked over by Beer Money with chairs and were just getting messed up. They definitely took a page out of ECW’s old playbook. It was pretty cool.
Jeff Jarrett introduced the Fallen Angle Christopher Daniels! That’s right, Christopher Daniels is back! That’s going to be awesome! Christopher Daniels! I marked out huge because he’s one of my favorite wrestlers in recent years.
Christopher Daniels defeated Kurt Angle
This was good match up. Christopher Daniels didn’t really show a whole lot of ring rust in this match up. Kurt Angle was keeping up with a much faster and lighter Christopher Daniels and it was cool over all. The missed Asahi Moonsault from Daniels was impressive, as he landed on his feet! However that was short lived because Angle hit the rolling German suplexes and this match was heating up at this point.
And that was your Impact. This was weird. It kind of just ended with the return of Christopher Daniels and that’s about it. I don’t know what to say about this one, if you like TNA this was like half a good show. There wasn’t a whole lot to it, considering that they are having a ppv this week, I would think that they would’ve been more productive, but nope. It’s nice to see some TNA returns but overall this wasn’t that great of a show. The four disc Jeff Jarrett dvd looks interesting though.

ECW on Sci Fi 4/14/09 Review
John Morrison defeated Evan Bourne
The night opened up interestingly with Morrison fighting Evan Bourne. Evan is ok, but he’s starting to just be a one trick pony. An exciting one at that, but you need something more than just that. In this match you saw how small Evan Bourne really is, as he was dwarved by Morrison in this match up. Overall this match up wasn’t half bad, and things really got interesting when Morrison hit Evan in the face with a knee so hard that it nearly knocked out Bourne. It was the main replay in this match up, it seriously looked like it hurt. Morrison is surprisingly fast at times, countering Evan Bourne in various stages of this match, including running back and forth into the ring. I was actually surprised how much time this match was given. It really showed that either ECW didn’t have much planned, or there wasn’t too many people left on the roster to fill the hour. This match was back and forth, with a lot of different moves and counters, but I couldn’t help but notice that there was no clear cut psychology to the steps, it was just counter to move to power move to rest hold. While this is fine in many cases, it just seems a little odd to give a match so much time but not have that storytelling that someone like Bret Hart would give to this length of time. A highlight was definitely seeing Evan Bourne get hit with the Moonlight Drive from the corner ring post, as Evan Bourne was setting up for his Shooting Star Press. Evan couldn’t get up from that, and this match was said to be a match of the year candidate by Matt Stryker. It was definitely the best Non-PPV match I’ve seen in a long time, that’s for sure.
Vladimir Kozlov defeated David Something (Jobber)
I hate jobber matches. This was a jobber match. The other guy didn’t even look like he could wrestle at all. It looks like they found a random idiot in the crowd and let him in the ring. It was messed up, but I guess that’s just a throwback to the 80’s.
Finlay defeated Christian and Tommy Dreamer
Finlay won. I had an emergency and missed this match.

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/13/09 Review
The show opened up with Batista, talking about how he wants revenge for the punt that caused Batista to be out for a while, 4 months ago. Batista called out Randy Orton and was ready to come out and chase down Randy Orton. However, Shane McMahon showed up to ringside to talk a little strategy with Batista. Triple H showed up and said that Randy Orton was his. Vickie Guerrero showed up, in a wheelchair, and she said that at Backlash the team will have their revenge match. Guerrero made a match for later, where the winner will either get a shot at Orton or no one will face Orton. That was that. Not exactly the most stellar of beginnings to Raw, but I had not choice but to enjoy it.
Rey Mysterio defeated Evan Bourne
They keep giving away this match for free. I believe that this is the second time We’ve seen this match up. This time around it seemed like Evan Bourne was grounding Mysterio for a good portion of the match, with rest holds and quick combat, that seemed to have the veteran a little distracted. Right when I thought that Evan Bourne would get the rub, he lost to Rey Mysterio with some quick moves and the splash. Rey Mysterio wins an easy one here.
Kane defeated The Brian Kendrick
Kane hasn’t had a good push in a long time. Kendrick has been on a losing streak lately, so I wasn’t sure which side to go for in this match up. Kane squashed The Brian Kendrick and that was that.
Michelle McCool, Maryse, and Natalya defeated Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, and Melina
This match started with a huge melee. This match technically didn’t even start until the bell run and Mickie James got tore up initially. That was an interesting power move from Michelle McCool, dropping Mickie James to her knees with what seemed to be a very stiff shot. Mickie James was doing well in there, and I finally gave her some credit, cause she was making things interesting for the first time in WWE Divas history. Mickie James knocked herself out with a top rope miss, and Michelle McCool capitalized, winning this match up without anyone else joining the match! What a load of crap. The best start to a divas match ends with a terrible copout of an ending.
John Cena defeated Jack Swagger
Did you really think that Jack Swagger would defeat Cena? I sure didn’t, so the illusion was taken away for me in this match up. I remember in the 80’s when people in the undercard and other champions had legitimate chances at defeating the champion. While the illusion was attempted here, you just knew that the bastard ECW champion wouldn’t defeat John Cena. Cena hit his chorus of finishing moves, much to the approval of the audience and of course, the inevitable. WRONG! Swagger got out of Cena’s finisher and shoved Cena into the ring post, shoulder first. For a few moments, I thought it was over, but nope…The Attitude Adjustment hit and then the STFU! Swagger tapped immediately, and another champion squashed. John Cena wins via submission.
At this point in the night, the drafts have favored Raw completely. Are they going to end Smackdown? It sure seems this way, because Raw is getting all the main eventers. As soon as Triple H was announced to be drafted, Edge came and attacked John Cena from behind. I still think that Smackdown is getting the weaker show at this point.
The Great Khali defeated Santino
This one was odd. If Santino lost this match he would have to kiss Khali on the Khali kiss cam. Santino was squashed easily, he got worked and it wasn’t even close. I personally am tired of Santino not getting a fair shake at wrestling, but he’s still funny, so we’ll let it pass.
Kofi Kingston defeated The Miz
I recall saying that Kofi Kingston was going to be the next big thing. It turns out that he’s not getting the fair shake that I thought he would. Kofi and The Miz went back and forth in this match up, with Kofi looking like he might be defeated at several times in this match up, however he connected with some great shots, to make this one interesting. The Miz had a few counters in this match up and I’m completely surprised at how far he’s come along since first coming into the WWE as a Reality Show reject. The match ended fast with a few counters and near falls and it was all over. Kofi got the win.
Edge won a inter-brand Battle Royal
This match was your standard Battle Royal. Nothing too crazy to report here. Edge won with a clever move of dropping the top rope while Big Show ran to him and was thrown out. Like I said, nothing too crazy here.
Christian defeated Shelton Benjamin
The Killswitch was heard round the world as Christian defeated Shelton Benjamin. I thought for sure Christian was going to win the belt when he returned but alas, he’s still in midcard hell for the most part. This match was a quick one, mostly burying Benjamin yet again. Christian though, deserves so much more upon his return, but oh well.
Matt Hardy defeated CM Punk via Disqualification
Hardy and CM Punk have faced each other before, and the two work well together. I like the way these two put good matches together, if they are given enough time. However, this match wasn’t given time as Jeff Hardy ran down and fought off Matt Hardy. Jeff was ready to pounce on Matt from the top rope but Matt ran away. CM Punk was left in the ring. Matt Hardy won this one, but only by DQ.
Chris Jericho defeated Tommy Dreamer
Tommy Dreamer has been a hard worker for WWE for a long time. However, he hasn’t gotten a fair shake in a long time. Maybe it is because he’s an ECW original, and the only original left on that brand that was really a main factor in the original incarnation from the East Coast. Now with Taz gone, it’s no wonder that the ECW brand looks to be on the chopping block yet again. Jericho was putting on a nice show here, allowing Dreamer very little opportunities to get in good action. Dreamer did put on a good fight, but as he came off the top rope, Jericho hit the Codebreaker in mid air! It was curtains for Tommy Dreamer.
Triple H, Shane McMahon, and Batista defeated Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase Jr.
You got your standard six man tag team match here. Nothing too crazy until Triple H tagged himself into the match by slapping Batista. Shane McMahon speared Batista out of the blue! Triple H hit the Pedigree, and this match was odd. He will face Randy Orton next week solo, but Batista was taken out as collateral or intentional damage! Batista was not happy at this, and maybe this will turn Batista Heel or maybe Triple H will turn Heel, I don't know. This was a weird way to end Raw.

The first Smackdown opened up with Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy into a scuffle, ending with Matt Running away like a punk. Teddy Long came out and said that tonight there would be a stretcher match between the brothers Hardy.
The Big Show defeated Kofi Kingston
Once again, proof that the WWE doesn’t need a draft or roster shake up. Kofi is on Smackdown fighting Big Show, and Show was hurting Kofi with huge right hands, and really showing off his size. Kofi got some great shots in, but overall it wasn’t enough to get the Big show down and it was Big Show who came on top. Show hit kofi with that hard right hand and it was all over.
Proving yet again that the WWE does not need a roster split, Santino was introduced.
The Great Khali defeated Santino
Santino got dismantled in 20 seconds. Santino is funny, but man, I wish they would let him wrestle. Khali wanted to kiss Santino’s “sister” and it didn’t happen, so he beat up Santino and won the match. Lame squash match up.
Gail Kim defeated Michelle McCool
This match was not half bad. McCool is not that great of a wrestler at all, and it showed here. Gail Kim could carry this match if McCool were way better, but instead Kim was taking some major shots and doing a lot of bumping. She ended up winning with a quick counter, and she’s on the way to getting a title shot, I’m sure.
The Cutting Edge returned and the guest was John Cena. It was sad, and it sucked. Edge, from what I read online, is nursing an injury right now so he probably won’t win the title. Cena needs to turn heel like the world depends on it.
Priceless defeated The Colons
Once again, NO NEED FOR A DRAFT! The two teams in this match up were on different brands, and they fought each other quite well. This match seemed evenly matched, considering that these teams haven’t wrestled each other on television before. The Legacy team was fighting hard and ended up winning this match, somewhat easier than I thought they would. The teams did put on a good overall lengthy tag team match and I liked it for the most part. I didn’t like the post match, and I didn’t like that Randy Orton was there to raise the hands of his team mates. It’s stupid to think that there is a draft coming up and yet no one abides by the separations.
Matt Hardy defeated Jeff Hardy in a Stretcher Match
The Hardy Brothers fought in a nice Stretcher match. Matt hardy had all new tights, which were lame. They were skin tight and lame. The match was quite brutal and Jeff was getting worked most of the match up, even though he did throwdown some interesting hits before it was all said and done. The overall match up ended with Matt Hardy getting the hard fought win, and this match failed to impress me. It had some good moments, but it was just your average Hardy match up. Nothing too great here.

Tna Impact 4/9/09 Results and Review Another Bad Tna
Tna Impact 3/10/09 Results
Suicide defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir
Samoa Joe defeated Booker T
James Storm defeated Scott Steiner via Disqualification
Awesome Kong defeated Angelina Love
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Mick Foley in a First Blood Match
Tna Impact 3/10/09 Review
I’m back, all the family has gone home and I’m back in action, writing crap.
The opening had the main event mafia out and they get Jeff Jarrett out there. For a guy that didn’t want to get into the fray, he sure is in the middle of all these storylines. The Motor City Machine guns came out and said they are for hire and have a vendetta against Foley. They get a match against Foley. It’s going to be lame. I can feel it.
Suicide defeated Sheik Abdul Bashir
Suicide did his thing here. I’m still not impressed by this random wrestling character. He has a few good moves, but overall, I don’t really think he’s worth the TNA’s time. No Limit was at ringside, fighting off Suicide whenever he was outside of the ring. Bashir was definitely a bit more proactive in this match as an x-division member, and really had some good fast paced moves, but Suicide seemed to not compliment the style very well. Kiyoshi hit Suicide with a huge kick, and Bashir hit a ddt on Suicide with the Belt underneath him! Suicide wins against Suicide.
We’re nearly over an hour into this program and barely have any wrestling. A lot of backstage stuff, Foley in ring rambling, stupid crap, no one likes this, I’m sure.
Samoa Joe defeated Booker T
What a terrible match. This was such a convoluted match, with little to no charisma between the two wrestlers involved. The highlight of this match was when Kurt Angle tried to interfere in the match and had AJ Styles come down and beat him up, allowing Samoa Joe to hit a powerslam and win! Yeah, that’s right, Booker T, loses to a simple Power Slam! This had to be the biggest powerslam in history, huh? It was lame.
James Storm defeated Scott Steiner via Disqualification
Scott Steiner fought James Storm in this match up. Usually confined to Beer Money as a member, Storm had his hands full with Scott Steiner in this match up. Steiner was in full control of this match up and it was apparent that Storm wasn’t meant to win this one, at least that’s how the match was going. Storm did mount a comeback, but it didn’t seem to rock the big man, the way he wanted to. Kevin Nash threw in a lead pipe and this match was thrown out.
Awesome Kong defeated Angelina Love
I usually rave about these matches but this Knockouts match wasn’t very good at all. This match was really short and Awesome Kong won with a reversal pin! This was a dumb match and afterwards, the Beautiful People tried to cut Awesome Kong’s hair.
The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Mick Foley in a First Blood Match
This was a dismantling of the young tag team. This was supposed to be an easy win for the Motor City Machine guns, and Foley made it a first blood match, creating an interesting little match up, but overall it wasn’t that good at all. Foley gave the Mandible Claw and afterwards his sock had a little blood on it, so the Ref was going to call the match up, but Foley intimidated him and continued to wrestle. Foley brought in a barbed wire bat into this match up, and was ready to strike but Foley was hit in the head with a Chair by Sting and was busted wide open, losing the match.
This TNA was terrible, and almost made me not want to watch TNA any more.

WWE Wrestlemania 25 Results and Review The Worst Wrestlemania Ever
The results are now going to go first, then the review...so there you go.
WWE Wrestlemania 25 Results
C.M. Punk won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Santino (a) won a divas 25 women battle royal
Chris Jericho defeated Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, and Rowdy Roddy Piper
Chris Jericho defeated Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, and Rowdy Roddy Piper
Matt hardy defeated Jeff Hardy
Rey Mysterio defeated JBL for the Intercontinental Championship
Undertaker defeated Shawn Michaels
John Cena defeated The Big Show and Edge for the WWE Championship
The Colons defeated John Morrison & The Miz in a WWE Tag Team Unification match up
Triple H defeated Randy Orton.
Here we go, I didn’t think I would make it, but here we go. The big event tonight is live from a near sold out Texas stadium. I heard on a podcast that this show is not sold out and that there are 25,000 tickets unsold as of Thursday. However, last minute ticket discounts, giveaways and more probably filled the stadium. I’m sure live notes will change things up a little. We’ll have to see what happens, with that. I’m glad I made it back in time to check this mess out, so that I can review it for you. If you’re out there and reading this, please buy something via amazon.com so that I can pay for this ppv, it was 20 dollars more than the average ppv, and really is breaking my bank. So yeah…chip in for your old pay sirjorge via the amazon links on the site, I get like 4% of what you buy, which isn’t much, but man, this isn’t cheap for me.
It has a good opening segment, asking what the best wrestlemania moment ever was…but who cares? I liked it wrestlemania 6 Hogan vs Warrior, I nearly cried when Hogan lost that match. Seriously, that was a tough one. Some random chick from the Pussycat Dollas was doing “American the Beautiful” lame. The best opening I’ve ever seen was Willie Nelson at Wrestlemania 7 in Los Angeles, when my dad took me. It was the L.A Sports Arena and Willie Nelson had a Wwe Heavyweight title around his waste, which was awesome. I marked out huge for Willie, even though I don’t own any of his albums. Wrestlemania 7 was awesome.
And away we go…Wrestlemania 25
**NOTE**
Apparently I didn’t get the Colon’s Tag Team title match, but they won the match up and are the Unified Tag Team Champions. Just so you know.
First match was Money in the Bank
The Participants:
C.M Punk
Finlay
MVP
Kane
Mark henry
Christian
Shelton Benjamin
Kofi Kingston
C.M. Punk won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match
First for the highlight reel was Kofi Kingston jumping over a mid waist high ladder and delivering a dropkick immediately afterwards! He may have hurt his knee though. Jim Ross claims that Reliant Stadium is sold out! Kane and Henry were first to go after the case but were melee’d by the rest of the guys out there. Kane was afraid to bump, that was apparent. Shelton Benjamin took a huge dive into all other competitors off a 25 ladder! Afterwards, Mark Henry was at the top rope ready to launch, but he didn’t make it. Hornswoggle brought in a baby ladder and was climbing to the top trying to reach the belts! Hornswoggle took a major dive off the top rope onto all the competitors. Kofi Jumped through a ladder ala Jackie Chan! That was insane, if you missed it man….wow…Kofi also caught a nut shot via Finlay’s baby ladder. I thought for sure Christian had this thing with a clever way to save himself from falling, but C.M Punk was there to stop him, then Kane was there to win it, but Punk once again clutched a hold of the briefcase and wins! C.M Punk gets it! CM PUNK WINS!
Kid Rock did a performance at this point. Not really my thing, but whatever.
The Divas started to march out at this point, for their match up, I lost track of who was out there cause I got distracted.
My ppv channel froze on me at this point. Seriously, this sucked, but while trying to call Comcast, the video came back on and I stopped calling them.
I’m not sure how many people from the past were in here.
Santino (a) won a divas 25 women battle royal
Victoria, Mickey James, Gail Kim, Jillian, Sunny, Maryse, Katie Lea, Beth Phoenix, Molly Holly, Kelly Kelly, Santino (dressed as a girl) , Michelle McCool, Melina
There might have been others though, I couldn’t really see because Comcast trashed my feed halfway through the match up. This match was standard women’s battle royal and it ended up with Santino, dressed up as a girl winning the match up! SANTINO! That’s right, Santino dressed as a woman eliminated everyone!
Chris Jericho defeated Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, and Rowdy Roddy Piper
Another hiccup had me missing the first part of this match up. I can’t believe this crap from Comcast…this thing is costing me a fortune and they keep messing it up! I join the match midway through and Jericho is getting worked. Piper got hit with elimination first or second, I don’t know, Snuka was out by the time I realized what was going on. Jericho was doing well, and Ricky Steamboat came back in with a house of fire worth of chops to Jericho. There was a lot of near falls with this match up and I thought Steamboat would get the victory but Jericho hit the Codebreaker and won the match up! That’s right, Jericho hit the Codebreaker on Steamboat for the win! Ric Flair got into the ring and the two exchanged blows like crazy, but it was too little too late.
Post match, Jericho called out Mickey Rourke, and he obliged by coming out into the ring! That’s right, he came out and entered the middle of the ring! Mickey Rourke knocked out Jericho with one punch and it was over.
Matt hardy defeated Jeff Hardy
Here we go, the war of the brothers. These guys took this match to extremes, but it wasn’t crazy. It wasn’t too much, it was just right for these two. The highlight for me was when Jeff Set up a table then put Matt on it, then put another table on top of him! I haven’t seen this since Bash at the Beach 1998 when Saturn set this up against Raven! Jeff Dove superman style through the top layer, to Matt and broke the bottom layer right in half! Jeff tried to jump a 20 foot ladder onto Matt, but that was a no go, Jeff might of knocked himself out after this one. He jumped like 20 feet, no joke, he was moving, but slowly, he is going to feel that later. Matt Hardy put this one to rest with a chair shot, and it was all over.
Rey Mysterio defeated JBL for the Intercontinental Championship
Rey Mysterio came out dressed as The Joker, with his mask completely covered, which was awesome. Rey Mysterio won this match up fast and easy, hit the 619 and it was all over. JBL got squashed.
Undertaker defeated Shawn Michaels
Alright, this has to be match of the night! Yeah, this match was insane right here, it started off average and it had a few moments of boredom, but then things started to pick up and then we started to see some great stuff. Michaels missing the Moonsault was great, then if that wasn’t enough, Undertaker jumped over the top rope, Michaels pushed a camera guy in the way, and Taker landed on his head! This wasn’t a botch, but man did it look scary! Seriously, Undertaker may have knocked himself out completely with this one, and the Camera guy was dead, it was harsh. You heard a huge crack, which was insane too. Undertaker nearly got counted out because of this huge fall, but it was bad. HBK jumped back in and then hit one of the hardest Chokeslam’s I’ve ever seen in wrestling. He got a HUGE one, and it nearly killed HBK, at least it looked that way. Michaels hit Sweet Chin Music and the streak was definitely going and gone in this one, I thought it was going to be over, and Undertaker barely kicked out. The Last Ride was hit, but HBK kicked out of that too! THE LAST RIDE was hit and it sounded huge! HBK managed to kick out, and one must have really considered that HBK might in fact have ETERNAL LIFE! So the dead man might be outwitted by HBK, I know I was a believer at this point. Michaels got caught up in the ropes trying to get back into the ring like he did at the Royal Rumble, and Undertaker hit the biggest Tombstone piledriver I’ve ever seen in my life, seriously, the biggest one ever hit. This thing was so huge, and it wasn’t enough. Comcast shut me down again, but only for a moment, but the time it came back HBK hit Sweet Chin Music again! He hit it again, and it wasn’t enough to put away The Undertaker! It wasn’t enough and both guys were just completely stuck at this point. Michaels tried for one more moonsault but was caught by The Undertaker and dropped HBK on his head. One more Tombstone and it was all over. It was all over.
John Cena defeated The Big Show and Edge for the WWE Championship
John Cena had a TON of John Cena clones come down the ramp for him, and it was a cool site to see, this was a really cool intro. I don’t like John Cena but the million Cena clones was a sight to see in this match up, which is incredible. You gotta admit that was kind of cool, there were so many Cena clones, it was cool.
This match was ok at best. It had a lot of different outcomes were teased during this match up and it had edge looking the strongest. However, Chavo Guerrero got involved, and then it was mopped up. Big Show got caught up in the ropes a lot of times in this match up, as a way to isolate him, which was smart. Vickie got speared at one point too. In much predictable fashion, John Cena defeated Edge and the Big show to win this one.
Wrestlemania is announced to being in Arizona March 28th 2010.
Austin ran down and drank beer with Jim Ross and just had fun. The crowd went nuts.
Triple H defeated Randy Orton.
So now, we finish this thing, we finally get the big rematch. The last time I remember reviewing these two, Triple H broke Randy Orton’s collar bone and won the match up. This time it’s supposed to be personal, but we’ll have to wait and see how this one turns out…so I thought. Triple H hit the Pedigree early in the match up, but couldn’t pin Orton, and this match took another slow turn, as these two work slowly. The match took your standard moments with Triple H getting thrown over the side of the stage into the audience, but he made it back before the ten count. The match took a turn for the macabre when Triple H started to try and dismantle Orton outside, but was thwarted by the Ref’s warning that he would be disqualified if he were to continue. This was ludicrous, because he then got on top of a table with Orton! This led into the backdrop onto a table. The Ref took a bump, and boy did he sell it, like it was the worst thing that ever happened to him. Orton brought out the sledgehammer, and this thing was looking to end here. Triple H punted the crap out of Orton! Triple H ran and hit Orton with his own punt as Orton was trying to get back in the ring! Triple H then hit Orton, while he was down with right hands to an obscene point and nearly got himself disqualified. Triple H then hit the Pedigree for the win. Triple H defeated Randy Orton!
This was probably one of the worst Wrestlemania's I've ever seen. I didn't really like it, except for the HBK Taker match. This was lame.

Yeah, this match was insane right here, it started off average and it had a few moments of boredom, but then things started to pick up and then we started to see some great stuff. Michaels missing the Moonsault was great, then if that wasn’t enough, Undertaker jumped over the top rope, Michaels pushed a camera guy in the way, and Taker landed on his head! This wasn’t a botch, but man did it look scary! Seriously, Undertaker may have knocked himself out completely with this one, and the Camera guy was dead, it was harsh. You heard a huge crack, which was insane too. Undertaker nearly got counted out because of this huge fall, but it was bad. HBK jumped back in and then hit one of the hardest Chokeslam’s I’ve ever seen in wrestling. He got a HUGE one, and it nearly killed HBK, at least it looked that way. Michaels hit Sweet Chin Music and the streak was definitely going and gone in this one, I thought it was going to be over, and Undertaker barely kicked out. The Last Ride was hit, but HBK kicked out of that too! THE LAST RIDE was hit and it sounded huge! HBK managed to kick out, and one must have really considered that HBK might in fact have ETERNAL LIFE! So the dead man might be outwitted by HBK, I know I was a believer at this point. Michaels got caught up in the ropes trying to get back into the ring like he did at the Royal Rumble, and Undertaker hit the biggest Tombstone piledriver I’ve ever seen in my life, seriously, the biggest one ever hit. This thing was so huge, and it wasn’t enough. Comcast shut me down again, but only for a moment, but the time it came back HBK hit Sweet Chin Music again! He hit it again, and it wasn’t enough to put away The Undertaker! It wasn’t enough and both guys were just completely stuck at this point. Michaels tried for one more moonsault but was caught by The Undertaker and dropped HBK on his head. One more Tombstone and it was all over. It was all over.
John Cena defeated The Big Show and Edge for the WWE Championship
John Cena had a TON of John Cena clones come down the ramp for him, and it was a cool site to see, this was a really cool intro. I don’t like John Cena but the million Cena clones was a sight to see in this match up, which is incredible. You gotta admit that was kind of cool, there were so many Cena clones, it was cool.
This match was ok at best. It had a lot of different outcomes were teased during this match up and it had edge looking the strongest. However, Chavo Guerrero got involved, and then it was mopped up. Big Show got caught up in the ropes a lot of times in this match up, as a way to isolate him, which was smart. Vickie got speared at one point too. In much predictable fashion, John Cena defeated Edge and the Big show to win this one.

Triple H defeated Randy Orton.
So now, we finish this thing, we finally get the big rematch. The last time I remember reviewing these two, Triple H broke Randy Orton’s collar bone and won the match up. This time it’s supposed to be personal, but we’ll have to wait and see how this one turns out…so I thought. Triple H hit the Pedigree early in the match up, but couldn’t pin Orton, and this match took another slow turn, as these two work slowly. The match took your standard moments with Triple H getting thrown over the side of the stage into the audience, but he made it back before the ten count. The match took a turn for the macabre when Triple H started to try and dismantle Orton outside, but was thwarted by the Ref’s warning that he would be disqualified if he were to continue. This was ludicrous, because he then got on top of a table with Orton! This led into the backdrop onto a table. The Ref took a bump, and boy did he sell it, like it was the worst thing that ever happened to him. Orton brought out the sledgehammer, and this thing was looking to end here. Triple H punted the crap out of Orton! Triple H ran and hit Orton with his own punt as Orton was trying to get back in the ring! Triple H then hit Orton, while he was down with right hands to an obscene point and nearly got himself disqualified. Triple H then hit the Pedigree for the win. Triple H defeated Randy Orton!
This was probably one of the worst Wrestlemania's I've ever seen. I didn't really like it, except for the HBK Taker match. This was lame.
