WWE Royal Rumble 2010 Review
Christian defeated Ezekiel Jackson in the ECW title match
Christian and Ezekiel put on a good overall opening match up. The ECW champion really had a hard time with Jackson, as he was getting through some major power moves. Jackson really had this match in the bag, but Christian managed to win this one. Not a terrible match, but Christian has done it all with the ECW title that he could possibly done.
The Miz defeated MVP in the U.S Title Match
MVP started this match fast but the miz managed to counter at all turns. Miz seemed a lot smarter than usual, and MVP really didn't look as strong when things went downhill. MVP got rolled up in a surprise roll up and the match was over sooner than I thought it would've been. MVP followed up the post match with a playmaker and walked away mad.
Sheamus defeated Randy Orton in the WWE Title match via disqualification
Orton drew first blood in this match with a picture perfect drop kick, and the match was a technical piece of wrestling history. Sheamus did manage to hang in there overall and he really did stay with Orton, but it was Orton who seemed to have this one in the bag, until Cody Rhodes got caught helping Orton win. The ref disqualified Orton and this match was done. Orton then ended things with Rhodes and Dibiase, this could be the end of legacy.
Mickie James defeated Michelle McCool in the WWE Women's Title Match
This wasn't much of a match, it ended faster than most matches and Michelle McCool finally lost. I guess no more piggie james jokes...she's still fat.
The Undertaker defeated Rey Mysterio in the world heavyweight title match
The Undertaker got busted open the hard way, and it was interesting. Mysterio put on one hell of a match against Undertaker and he didn't look weak at all. In fact, Mysterio at one point hit two 619's and had this match won, but got caught when he went for the Westcoast Pop. Mysterio got caught and then dropped on his head with the last ride in one of the better Undertaker matches in a long time. Mysterio got worked man, but Taker took some sick hits, making Mysterio a clear winner, even though he lost.
Edge won the Royal Rumble
The Royal Rumble started with Dolph Ziggler #1 and Evan Bourne #2 and it carried through some good spots, but the first clear cut amazing Rumble entrant was Cm Punk. He eliminated all comers until Triple H came in. Then we got some spots, until #19 was John Cena and business picked up consistently from there.
Shawn Michaels eliminated TRIPLE H!
#29 was edge, #30 was Batista and the final four were Edge, Batista, Chris Jericho, and Shawn Michaels.
HBK got thrown out and he was definitely upset, super kicking a ref on his way to the back. Cena eliminated Batista, and Edge eliminated John Cena!
Edge is your winner, and that's your Rumble!

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 1/29/10 Results and Review The Bait and Switch
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 1/29/10 Results
Triple H defeated Cm Punk via disqualification
R Truth defeated Chris Jericho
Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison in a no holds barred match
Michelle McCool defeated Fat Mickie James
Rey Mysterio vs Shawn Michaels (no contest)
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 1/29/10 Review
The show immediately opened up with the Degeneration X music to quite the ovation, despite the team being somewhat watered down by comparison of their former unions.
Dx was in ring and was interrupted by Rey Mysterio and he talked to Shawn about how he’s disrespected. Then the straightedge society came out, and the crews exchanged words. Triple H buried Punk and his crew fast, and I’m not sure if I liked how Triple H verbally buried Punk.
Theodore Long came out and changed up the tag team match up, and made Punk vs Triple H and Shawn Michaels vs Rey Mysterio. This is what is called the “bait and switch” folks.
Triple H defeated Cm Punk via disqualification
Overall this match surprised me up front. Triple H was getting beat early on by a faster, younger opponent, and he seemed frustrated going into the commercial break. Punk used his speed to really try to get Triple H off his game, and he managed to get a lot of shots in on the former champion. At one point even looking like he had this match easily won. However, after a few mistakes by Punk, Triple H had this thing in the bag almost and was taking care of business. The match got serious, and Triple H was on his path to victory but Sarena distracted the ref, Gallows got involved and then all three members of the Straightedge Society attacked Triple H and had his number.
Post match, The Straightedge Society was set to shave Triple H’s head, but they couldn’t succeed as Shawn Michaels came out for the save.
I’m not sure I like the Straightedge Society, as a whole. I just have memories of Right to Censor, and just am wary that WWE will trash the stable as soon as they can, with Triple H going over yet again.
R Truth defeated Chris Jericho
Truth and Jericho apparently had words on Superstars, but I didn’t see it. This match was interesting to say the least, Jericho was definitely up to his game and really pushing forward in this match. He seemed to have that old school control that is apparent in veteran match ups. However, Truth was there to lighten things up in the other end, posing some great moves left and right, causing Jericho to shift off his slower methodical game, and making this match very interesting. Truth has some great timing and Jericho’s ring awareness makes him that much more fun to watch. Truth’s counter to the Codebreaker was great. He simply held onto the ropes, caused Jericho to fall on the back of his head, getting himself rolled up and losing this match up.
I liked that match, and the finish was so good. Frustrating Jericho into being the strong mic’d heel is great.
Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison in a no holds barred match
It’s been a while since we’ve had a good falls count anywhere style match up. This match up was no holds barred, and no count out, not necessarily falls count anywhere. This match was more like a street fight, and the two really put together some good spots. Whether it was McIntyre getting hip tossed into the steel steps, or McIntyre hitting for the fences with the kendo stick, this match was more along the lines of an endurance competition than a wrestling match. Morrison’s back nearly broke when he hit starship pain on McIntyre’s knees! The Future Shock on the Intercontinental Title was a great finish and McIntyre has once again put away John Morrison. The finish was great, McIntyre gets my vote for deserving the Intercontinental title, that was a classic finish.
Michelle McCool and Layla really made things somewhat funny with another skit. Michelle McCool issued a challenge to any diva in the back for a match against her, and then Mickie James’s music hit and the crowd went nuts…only to have Layla come out dressed as Mickie James in a fat suit! This was kind of funny at first, but got boring fast with Layla chasing McCool, who was holding a donut in her hands.
It led to a throwaway match with fat Mickie James.
Michelle McCool defeated Fat Mickie James
Rey Mysterio vs Shawn Michaels (no contest)
This was a ppv caliber match up. It didn’t start that way, it was a little slow to start, but it picked up and boy did it pick up. Mysterio was getting the upper hand with his speed and agility early on, and he was definitely not just laying down for Micheals, in anticipation for his match at the royal rumble. Michaels turned the tables and it seemed that he was going to get the easy win, but the tables turned fast and out of nowhere Mysterio hit the 619 on Michaels in the best 619 I’ve ever seen in my life. Mysterio then went up for the west coast pop but out of nowhere, I kid you not, Sweet Chin Music in mid air to Mysterio! This was insane, if you missed it you missed it, this thing was picture perfect, timed well, and just the best thing I’ve seen in a long time.
Batista ran in and interrupted things and the match was thrown out. Post match Triple H came down to spar with Batista, and out of the blue came The Undertaker to double chokeslam Shawn and Rey Mysterio.
Final Thoughts:
Finally, a solid show up and down. The opening and closing matches were quite good, despite their finishes. The in ring talent was up to snuff for sure. This was a greater show than the one a few weeks back, and it really was fun to watch.
The intercontinental title is once again a title to watch. Morrison and McIntyre really took themselves to a good spot and the finish was an old school classic, I liked it.
I am NOT getting the rumble, nor do I know where to see it. But my pick to win the Rumble is none other than Chris Jericho!
Yep.

TNA Impact 1/28/10 Results and Review Screwed
TNA Impact 1/28/10 Results
Desmond Wolfe defeated Sean Morley
Hernandez defeated Christopher Daniels
The Beautiful People defeated Awesome Kong, Hamada, and Tara
Brian Kendrick & The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Generation Me & Amazing Red
Doug Williams defeated Amazing Red in a X-Division title match
Mr. Anderson defeated Jeff Jarrett
TNA Impact 1/28/10 Review
Immediately Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff were introduced, and they arrived to somewhat cheers. They call out Mick Foley, and Foley wants his job back. This segment sucked and went nowhere.
Backstage Mr. Anderson took away Hemme’s mic and issued an open challenge to anyone in the TNA locker room for a match, since he wasn’t book tonight.
Desmond Wolfe defeated Sean Morley
What in the world? Val Venis is back? I heard about it, but I didn’t see his in ring return, and from what I can see, he’s not looking too out of shape. This match didn’t have me upset at all, I actually liked how it was going, and when the Tower of London happened, I actually cared about Desmond Wolfe’s second coming. Overall not a bad match, in the qualifier to a tournament on ppv; I didn’t mind it, and it was a good opening match up.
Mr. Anderson’s opponent for later will be Jeff Jarrett, not bad.
Hernandez defeated Christopher Daniels
This too was a better match than in previous months. Daniels really matched Hernandez at times, but with his speed, while Hernandez tried to use his strength as an advantage. After a while Daniels grew frustrated that he couldn’t put super mex away and that made Hernandez the winner when he capitalized against the former Fallen Angel to advance to that tournament they kept talking about.
The Nasty Boys and Team 3d had a “face to face” of sorts. It was boring. They will face each other at the ppv.
The Beautiful people were interviewed backstage…that’s about it.
Eric Bischoff fired Bobby Lashley, and was escorted out of the arena.
The Beautiful People defeated Awesome Kong, Hamada, and Tara
The knockouts division is hit or miss when it comes to in ring ability. There should be enough talent in ring to get this match going, and it was definitely better than anything the divas have done lately. Tara still has some good moves, and it’s mind boggling to me why WWE didn’t capitalize on her talent. Madison Rayne and the rest of the Beautiful People have some moves too, but it seems that their ring attire gets in the way of their wrestling more time than not. Hamada and her team had this match completely won, but Madison Rayne got the win after using the ugly stick on Hamada.
I didn’t mind this match, I like foreign objects in endings sometimes. Overall a better offering than recent months, that’s for sure.
Backstage Earl Hebner got suspended after admitting he got a pay off from Flair to ring the bell early. Whatever.
Angle and Hogan buried the hatchet of sorts, and then Angle was immediately attacked by Hall & Waltman.
Brian Kendrick & The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Generation Me & Amazing Red
Finally, The Young Bucks are in a major company. I remember seeing the Young Bucks wrestle in Culver City, California in my home town! They finally made it! I’m glad. This match immediately started with Kendrick and Red going fast paced and Kendrick getting worked over fast. This match was very fast pace, and it was interesting. People talk about spot to spot and what not, but I personally thought it was more than that. Kendrick got the win over Red, and this match was interesting to say the least.
Big Rob gave Doug Williams the feast or fired briefcase and cashed it in.
Doug Williams defeated Amazing Red in a X-Division title match
Doug Williams cashed in the briefcase, and he’s now the new champion. This made a lot of sense.
Mr. Anderson defeated Jeff Jarrett
Jarrett came out to no music, and just came down and started from point #1 at the bottom of the barrel. Anderson and Double J started with some good overall old school wrestling. This match should’ve been a lot longer. Jarrett seemed to be getting things rolling in his direction, but he lost after a low blow from Anderson.
Final Thought:
This night of TNA didn’t suck as bad as the previous weeks. There was some filler, but overall, the wrestling was a lot more thought out and entertaining to me. If TNA can continue moving forward like this, they might be able to pull in new fans.

From The Mailbag 1/28/10 Edition
Another seven or so days has gone by and here are the latest comments and notes from the world of wrestling:
Ken has left a comment on the post "TNA Impact 1/21/10 Results and Review No Change in...":
This show as atrociously bad as Hogan's idea of "change" is apparently rehashing shit from 1996 and 1997. Moreover, after TNA just asked the audience not to chant bullshit before the show, what does Kurt Angle do? Say "this is bullshit!" at the end of the show.
He's right, it WAS bullshit. It sucked.
Yes, it was completely terrible. I am not sure where they are going or how much actual planning they did, but it came across as amateur at best. I agree. Let's hope tonight's show is good.
Shane has left a comment on your post "WWE Friday Night Smackdown 1/22/10 Results and Rev...":
This was definitely not a good Smackdown. Honestly, I do beleive that, on average, it is better than Raw but that's probably just because they have more of my favorite characters. Well, as I've said before I am a big Kane fan even though I know he won't win the Rumble (unless my wishes of another Wrestlemania match between Kane and Taker come true [I always mark out huge for those, except 23. Their match at Wrestlemania 23 sucked.]) So even though I know he won't win I am looking for a big Kane push at the Rumble.
Personally, I think the final four of the Rumble will be Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Batista, and John Cena. My prediction, Triple H wins.
Back onto the subject of the show, this one sucked. Jericho is a good and entertaining speaker as a heel, but I always liked his 'Lionheart' gimmick better. As for Kahli, I don't know if they're going back to his whole Punjabi Playboy thing but I'm really not a fan. I only liked him in one match (a triple threat with kane and batista, at the Bash i think). Taker is better as a heel. And personally, I think all the people Punk are saving are plants. Well, maybe not all but definitely the woman. There was just alot wrong with this show and not many good things. Looking forward to DX's breakup on Raw. Michaels and Triple H are better as single wrestlers.
On point, you're exactly right. Maybe we'll see some more thought in the show this week. Rumors are flying about all sorts of things, and that's good for interest. However, it didn't excuse a terrible show.
dag8ownar said said in regards to last week's Smackdown post:
This one was a sucky filler episode of Smackdown. Nothing really happened and the matches were just plain stupid. But the first tag team match was pretty good.
I hope they give John Morrison another push. He only needs to work a little on his mic skills, because in the ring he's untouchable.
Well, back on the show ... that final segment was just weak and stupid. Taker doesn't look that badass nor evil anymore like back in time. He needs to turn heel once more! I think he's been looking like an idiot on his more recent promos, but maybe it's just me. And will we get Shawn vs Taker againat WM? I hope we won't. And yes, i think Batista is on the juice and he's been since ... always? Well, he still sucks.
Yeah, the show sucked. I'm sure Morrison will come back at it again. Shawn and Taker would be terrible, let's hope it doesn't happen. Oh yeah, Batista is on the juice bad, let's hope he doesn't tear anything anytime soon.
Well that's it for the comments. I had to rush em this week because I'm trying to come up with the cable bill.

ECW on SyFy 1/26/10 Results and Review More of the Same
Just a quick note before we begin. I have not made any money from this site. That’s not to say that it’s all about money, but in order to cover wrestling I’ve been struggling to pay my cable bill.
I still don’t have a job, and I have no major prospects. Last night I cancelled my cable internet service, and this week I’ll be closing my cable television service.
What does that mean for the future of this site?
Well, for the time being that means we will no longer have PPV reviews at all. I can’t afford them.
It means that I’ll try my best to see wrestling at my in-laws house, or the local bar that has cable. If there are lapses in reviews, I’ll make sure to post the results and that’s it.
I’m sorry if that means you’ll have less wrestling to read about, but I am seriously broke and can’t afford the cost of cable, satellite, or internet. If things change, you will hear it from me here first, until my next review, which I hope will be Smackdown, here is the Ecw review for last night.
ECW on SyFy 1/26/10 Results
William Regal & Ezekiel Jackson defeated Kane & Christian
Goldust, Yoshi Tatsu and The Hurricane defeated Croft, Barreta, and Zack Ryder
ECW on SyFy 1/26/10 Review
The show opened up with Ezekiel and Regal, and they were joined by Christian, and of course it was time to have a heart to heart again. This was boring to me, I’m sick of hearing these guys flap their gums for no apparent reason.
Christian said that he had backup this week, and it was none other than Kane!
William Regal & Ezekiel Jackson defeated Kane & Christian
Christian started the match hot, he had Regal’s number with ease. That forced Regal to tag in, and that forced Christian to tag in Kane. Kane was over with the live crowd, a rarity to hear ecw fans loudly. Kane didn’t look like a dominant monster, he was isolated by Regal and Jackson, and just looked like any other big man. Kane, like many fans before have stated, has really been misused and really doesn’t seem to be the dominant monster he used to be. Kane and Christian started to work together in this match, and things started to look good. For once I cared about an ECW match, on a purely entertainment reason. Towards the end of the match, Kane made a miraculous turn into a monster and was killing Regal. Regal was a shell of his former self at this point and while Jackson helped, he couldn’t stop Kane completely. Ezekiel got a blind tag and pinned Christian! Now he looks like he can truly beat the champion at Royal Rumble.
Goldust, Yoshi Tatsu and The Hurricane defeated Croft, Barreta, and Zack Ryder
I’m not interested in the heel team at all. This match had me bored, and the camera constantly going to that skanky looking woman, was lame. This match was long too, and it had some decent wrestling, but I really don’t care about these guys, so I gave up and just pretended I was watching something else.
Final Thoughts
This night had two matches, and not a whole lot more. This really looked like WWE LIGHT. It reminds me of the Lucha Libre show I reviewed in Seattle, where the B-stars of CMLL wrestling nobodies, and people you didn’t care about.
Sure it’s good wrestling, but who cares?
Not me.
Till next time…I’m your pal, Sir Jorge.
I still don’t have a job, and I have no major prospects. Last night I cancelled my cable internet service, and this week I’ll be closing my cable television service.
What does that mean for the future of this site?
Well, for the time being that means we will no longer have PPV reviews at all. I can’t afford them.
It means that I’ll try my best to see wrestling at my in-laws house, or the local bar that has cable. If there are lapses in reviews, I’ll make sure to post the results and that’s it.
I’m sorry if that means you’ll have less wrestling to read about, but I am seriously broke and can’t afford the cost of cable, satellite, or internet. If things change, you will hear it from me here first, until my next review, which I hope will be Smackdown, here is the Ecw review for last night.

ECW on SyFy 1/26/10 Review
The show opened up with Ezekiel and Regal, and they were joined by Christian, and of course it was time to have a heart to heart again. This was boring to me, I’m sick of hearing these guys flap their gums for no apparent reason.
Christian said that he had backup this week, and it was none other than Kane!
William Regal & Ezekiel Jackson defeated Kane & Christian
Christian started the match hot, he had Regal’s number with ease. That forced Regal to tag in, and that forced Christian to tag in Kane. Kane was over with the live crowd, a rarity to hear ecw fans loudly. Kane didn’t look like a dominant monster, he was isolated by Regal and Jackson, and just looked like any other big man. Kane, like many fans before have stated, has really been misused and really doesn’t seem to be the dominant monster he used to be. Kane and Christian started to work together in this match, and things started to look good. For once I cared about an ECW match, on a purely entertainment reason. Towards the end of the match, Kane made a miraculous turn into a monster and was killing Regal. Regal was a shell of his former self at this point and while Jackson helped, he couldn’t stop Kane completely. Ezekiel got a blind tag and pinned Christian! Now he looks like he can truly beat the champion at Royal Rumble.
