Well, we know that MVP is in action against Matt Hardy tonight.  Saves me watching a match, because we all know that MVP is not going to come to ECW and beat the champion on his current streak.  Hopefully I’ll get to see that DX ShopZone ad that I missed last night.  I’m sure it was hilarious.  Other than that, I’m not sure what to expect (ok, I’m lying, I read the spoilers last night after RAW), so let’s get started with ECW on SciFi on DVR!

DVR review after the jump!

Ugh.  Another Monday, another RAW.  These have been the bane of my existence since Drowgoddess started doing the iMPACT reviews here on BoredWrestlingFan.com.  The show has just been extremely stale lately.  They need a debut, a huge return, or something.  I know what you’re thinking; “But JoE, John Cena just returned 8 days ago!”  That doesn’t count.  Cena was only gone three months and had a month worth of promos shoved down our gullets three times a week.  He comes back, and he’s the World Heavyweight Champion.  That’s another story, however, and we’ll talk about that later.  We’ve got a show to watch on DVR and review!

Full review (and in depth analysis of the Superstar of the Year nominees) after the jump!

Hey, just wanted to chime in and give some thoughts and the world as I see it.

I like doing these “On DVR” reviews.  I get to watch a WWE show, give you my thoughts on it as I watch, and be done in like an hour and a half.  It’s much easier to enjoy the shows this way than trying to write them in real time as the show is actually on.  Anyways, SmackDown’s been my favorite show of the week on a consistent basis, and I get to do a review of SmackDown, which features the new WWE Champion, Edge!  It’s been a while since Edge has been seen on SmackDown, and since he’s one of my personal favorites, I’m glad to have him back, as I feel as though it can only make the show better.

Enough of my ranting and raving about the Rated R Superstar, my thoughts on this week’s WWE SmackDown are after the jump!

We’ve been running BoredWrestlingFan.com since June of this year, and that “Archives” section in the sidebar was getting pretty cluttered, having a listing for every month.  To keep things tidy, we’ve launched a new archive section here on the site.  Check it out!

SmackDown coverage will be up soon!

Umm….

Ok….

Oh, forget it. This week is less of a review and more of a rant. I’m quite well aware that no one in a position of power in TNA reads this column on this site. I’m quite well aware that if they did, the things written here would mean absolutely nothing to any of them. I’m also quite well aware that business as usual will continue until the company dies and all in it are forced to seek other employment, mostly to no avail. All the same, on this Thanksgiving holiday, the so-called creative team and the powers-that-be of TNA should be giving most profuse thanks that my access to multiple large-caliber weapons and 55-gallon drums of chloroform are limited by a low-paying career in public education. (If anyone considers that statement to be a legitimate threat of violence, calm down. It’s a literary device, nothing more. That I must point that out is beyond sad.)

We took a page out of Metallica’s book and installed a theme switcher here on BoredWrestlingFan.com.  Of course, we couldn’t have a theme switcher without a new theme.  Check out the new one, “Steel Steps.”  We’ll add more as I get more ideas.  It’s not much, but it’s something!

I’m out of it tonight, so here are the results of ECW on SciFi, courtesy of Rajah.com

* Jack Swagger b. Tommy Dreamer
- The match starts out in the ring but Jack brings in kendo sticks, chairs, and other weapons. He attempts a submission move on Dreamer with a chair. The match goes back and forth until Dreamer brings in a table. Jack uses it against him slamming him through it. He gets the win via pinfall.

* The Miz & John Morrison are shown on the screen talking about Survivor Series. The Boogeyman appears and scares them away.

* DJ Gabriel b. A Local Jobber
- Gabriel got the win via a second-rope shoulder block.

* Finlay vs. Mark Henry
- The match ends in disqualification after a brawl takes place on the outside.

Well folks, as announced yesterday, from now on you’ll be getting DVR reviews of all the WWE shows from yours truly, as my shift at work has changed to 3-11.  We’re kicking things off with the post Survivor Series RAW, where John Cena is our new World Heavyweight Champion!

Full review after the jump!

I should’ve done this when I re-watched the show, but since I didn’t, here’s the quick results of WWE Survivor Series 2008.

Team HBK defeated Team JBL.  Your sole survivors:  HBK, Rey Mysterio, & The Great Khali.  I’ve always hated when there’s more than one person left on the winning team, and they call them “Sole Suvivors.”  That’s like naming a band “The Lone Rangers.”  Isn’t that right, cast of Airheads?

Team RAW Divas defeated Team SmackDown Divas.  Your sole survivor:  Beth Phoenix.  Maryse put on a pretty strong showing in this one.

The Undertaker defeated The Big Show in a casket match.  In a unique finish, Show destroyed the first casket, but when a second casket was brought out, he stood it up on it’s side.  The Undertaker whipped Show into it, sending it crashing to the ground with Show inside, the lid closing behind him.

Team Orton defeated Team Batista.  Your sole survivors: Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes.  Orton blind tagged Rhodes when Batista had him up for a Batista Bomb.  The Legend Killer dropped the unsuspecting Batista with an RKO for the victory.

Edge defeated Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov in a triple threat match to win the WWE Championship.  Yes, you read that right, Edge won the WWE Championship.  Storyline wise, Jeff Hardy was assaulted in his hotel and rendered unable to compete in the match.  The match started off as a singles match between Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov.  After a hard fought fight, Triple H dropped Kozlov with a Pedigree, though he was too out of it to make the cover.  Vickie Guerrero game out on the stage and announced that it’s going to be a triple threat after all, because “he’s here!”  “He” turned out to be Edge, who came out and speared Triple H.  Before he could make the cover though, Jeff Hardy came out and attacked him.  Hardy swung with a chair, missing Edge and connecting with The Game, followed by a shot for the Moscow Mauler.  When he went to swing for Edge, he ate a spear instead.  Edge covered Triple H for the three and won the WWE Championship!

John Cena def. Chris Jericho to win the World Heavyweight Championship.  After the match, Cena celebrated with his family in the crowd before walking up the ramp triumphant as the new World Heavyweight Championship.

Looks like we’ve got a good week of WWE programming in store for us this week!
