Does that mean when Triple H comes out in the WrestleMania 21 arena, Lemmy will forget the words to his theme music?

I mean.. at least he somewhat remembered the words four years earlier at WrestleMania X-Seven..

Now, some that were already announced, will also be playable in the 30 Years of WrestleMania mode, leaving people to work out, just which WrestleMania matches have made the cut, and be playable in the game mode. Already shown are pictures from Hogan/Andre from WrestleMania III, Hogan/Rock from WrestleMania X-8 and Rock/Cena from one of the last two WrestleManias.. I dunno which, I stopped watching when Shawn Michaels left for the last time.

Bruno Sammartino has also been ‘confirmed’ but not officially announced, as well as ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper being rumoured to be on the game. Also rumoured thanks to the WWE 2K14 cover art contest include: AJ Lee, Antonio Cesaro, Brie Bella, Brodus Clay, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, David Otunga, Heath Slater, Jack Swagger, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Layla, Mark Henry, Natalya, R-Truth, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Tensai, the Great Khali, Wade Barrett and Zack Ryder.

WWE 2K14 comes out October 29th in North America and Internationally November 1st yada yada yada.

But life isn’t all about video games and fantasy, because sometimes that bitch known as real-life just has to take over. This week, WWE Superstar Darren Young, announced to the world of all places, that he is a gay. A homosexual if you will. Now, everyone that is anyone, congratulated, and applauded this like he just landed on the moon, whilst singing the greatest song known to man, whilst marrying the Queen and becoming President of the United States all at the same time. My question to you is, the viewing public.. why is this news? Why are we meant to care so damn much about someone’s sexuality? I don’t mean that in a bad way, but it seems that being gay is some kind of achievement, when in fact, it shouldn’t be. In all honesty, and this blogger’s opinion, it should be just part of everyday life. Is it really that big of a celebration that one male has said he enjoys the company of other males in a sexual manner?

Who cares if Darren Young is openly gay? So what? Why would anyone look at him differently because of it? Why does he suddenly need to be applauded and congratulated and handed medals and paraded around the city just because he announced this, when if he hadn’t of said anything, everyone would still be oblivious to the fact. Society is a mess, no.. it’s completely destroyed. It shouldn’t matter if someone is gay, black, hispanic or asian (Although someone who was all four.. imagine), it SHOULD be how the person acts/behaves/etc., but sadly, in this society.. if you are different than causcian and straight.. you’re treated with either respect and applauded, or disgust and rejected.

Also, I wonder if Chris Kanyon would’ve gotten the same reaction if he announced he was gay during his WWE tenure. His sexuality preferences unfortunately played a part in Kanyon losing his life, and now we applaud because someone is gay? Double standards much..

W is for Wednesday, Wrestlemania and …
Wednesday, Wednesday, Happy Days. Wednesday, Wednesday, Happy Days.

and many more shockers. Until one day, a title came along, that with a slight modification, would become the title that would last..

August 5th 2009 – The War On Everything

From then on, The War On Everything, became The War On… and it became a staple of BoredWrestlingFan.com, until it stopped because I stopped watching. Wrestling that is. Not the website. I explain it all here, in my Three Year Anniversary special.

Anyways, as this is now Five Years since we started this shindig, I guess there’s only one thing to do..

Cue the Opening

October 8th, 2012.. DLC that wasn’t actually DLC and was actually a column that anyone could access without downloading anything extra.

That was the last time you heard from here on this very website, without the use of radio. So this must be some kind of special occasion. I mean, I was the special teams back in the day. I was the Martin Gramatica of BoredWrestlingFan. Nowadays, you can see me at the far superior, BoredHockeyFan.com. It’s the Dailymotion to BWF’s YouTube.

Five years ago, three people.. maybe more depending on who you ask, started a group called the Triumvirate of TN-Awesomeness, and promptly got traded to the San Jose Sharks for Christian Ehrhoff, because my GM skills make Joe Nieuwendyk look mediocre.. which isn’t hard, considering Nieuwendyk was a shit GM.. trading James Neal.. seriously. At least I traded for a decent D-man.

But in all seriousness, for those who like, or don’t like BWF.. blame iMPACT, and not because it’s TNA. It’s the actual reason this website exists.

For you see, all of it started when we were the only people in a certain forum that would punish ourselves by watching iMPACT. It was out of the sheer boredom of watching this tripe, that we became Bored Wrestling Fans, and thus, creating this website you see this column on today.

Five years of fun, excitement and dribble, and just like yesteryear.. a column written by me on here has made absolutely no sense to anyone or anything. It’s just full of random links leading to random things on the internet. What do you expect? An insightful wrestling column about wrestling that makes sense and wins awards? A wrestling column about how WWE use ‘smartphone technology’ far too much to the point nobody actually gives a fuck? A wrestling column about how there’s just far too much wrestling on TV, and it was a lot better when it was just Raw Is War and Sunday Night HeAT A wrestling column about how bringing back the Brawl For All tournament may not be the worst thing in the history of wrestling?

A wrestling column talking about lack of competition and how wrestling, as an entertainment aspect, needs a complete makeover to capture the imagination of fans once again. I mean, wrestling you could argue has gone through two golden ages so to speak, and to be honest, if it needs to compete in this day and age, it can’t just rely on name and a few guys that were around during the last golden age. Do you really want columns like that on a site such as this one? Coming from someone who hardly watched any wrestling from mid-2009? Do you really want that? Honestly..

The post The War On.. Five Years, Dailymotion’s Superiority and Columns appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Cue the Opening

The subject of DLC is a touchy one. Sure, it’s a good thing to have extra content for your video game, especially if you have enjoyed the experience it has provided, and you wish to extend that for a few more hours. However, there is also a bad side to DLC, and unfortunately it’s the way most games are these days. It’s the fact that the DLC content is already on the disc. Which mean they could make it available as part of the game. But instead, they wait some time, and then charge you x amount to be able to play it, which is what the people at THQ have done with WWE ’13.

COMMERCIAL: The most awesome thing you will see.

During the roster reveal event for WWE ’13 before SummerSlam. They announced that AJ Lee, and Damien Sandow, would be DLC for WWE ’13. Although they showed no in-game footage at the time, it shows that they video game version of themselves was pretty much ready to go, and could indeed be included in the game if they chose to. However, they are not and are indeed included in the three DLC packages, but not where you’d think they’d be. I personally think that this is the reason for the strive within the gaming community and is the driving force behind all these roblox hacks that we see popping up. For you see, AJ Lee is set to be released in the month of December, one month and a few days (depending where in the world you are Carmen Sandiego) after the release of the game. As for Sandow, well his character won’t be available until January 2013. So why announce them at the roster reveal, as DLC, if they are not going to be playable until at the earliest a month after game release. Why not just put them on the disc, as playable characters. Or, just don’t announce them all until the rest of the DLC is announced. Speaking of which..

Why have they announced DLC before the game has even hit shelves? This further shows that all DLC content, is actually on the disc, but game companies delay it, to attempt to squeeze every last cent out of you as possible, by adding DLC later on. The first set of DLC to be released, entitled the ‘Attitude Era’ Superstars Pack, and includes Rikishi, Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay of the faction ‘Too Cool’, Gangrel from the Brood and Val Venis. These characters, as well as an accelerator boost, which allows you to edit attributes, is available as DLC, on release day. THQ did the same thing last year by having the likes of Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole as Day One DLC for WWE ’12, so this isn’t the first time it’s happened, but to charge people any amount, for content that should be on the disc but isn’t, and release it as DLC on Day One is beyond a joke. Why not just put the content on the disc? Why make people, who have already spent funds on buying your game in the first place, spend more money for content, which could quite easily be on the disc, thus saving the consumer money, and making it more likely to buy more from your company? It’s nothing but greed on the developer’s part, and it’s a disgrace that developers do that. But, as is said by some people.. Money makes the world go ’round.

COMMERCIAL: Well, if someone’s going to tell you, may as well be him..

With the announcement of the Downloadable Content, the website for WWE ’13, rubbed it in by showing screenshots of each character in the game. This means that all DLC content is on the disc, but spanning it out over two months, either shows that THQ are greedy and money-hungry, or, it shows that the game itself isn’t going to be a game which captures your attention for any period of time, and needs to inject the DLC as quickly as possible, in order to keep the gamer’s mind occupied with their game, in what is sure to be a busy time for gamers with the sheer amount of games coming out over the next few months. But the DLC deals may not be the worst thing about all this. The pre-order content is the biggest money making scheme of them all.

That being the ‘pre-order’ specials that are made. The first comes with a code to add ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson to your playable roster from the moment you unwrap the game, and place the disc into your console. The second deal, dubbed the ‘Austin 3;16’ edition of WWE ’13, comes with not only a code for Tyson, but codes for another attire for Steve Austin, the ATV entrance for Steve Austin, a collectible art card signed by the Rattlesnake himself, foil packaging with embedded Austin skull, and a DVD from Stone Cold Steve Austin: The Bottom Line on the Most Popular Superstar of All Time. These deals are to encourage you to pre-order the game, for an inflated price. However, if you wait 90 days after purchase, then Mike Tyson, the Steve Austin attire, and the Steve Austin ATV entrance,will be available to download without having to spend the extra quid on pre-ordering the game. Thus making these pre-order deals pretty much useless (Unless you are me, and can pre-order the game with just the Tyson code, for the same price as you would pre-ordering just the game without any bonuses).

COMMERCIAL: Sounds about right..

Personally, I think THQ have missed a massive opportunity to make maximum income out of it. What they should have done, is make two games. WWE ’13 and a separate game for the Attitude Era, much like what they did with ‘Legends of Wrestlemania’ a few years ago. That way, the WWE ’13 game, could have the current roster of characters, plus a few legends of the sport, and the Attitude Era game can have all the characters from the Attitude Era. Allowing the option to combine the two into a super game, gives you the same or more characters to choose from, but twice the money due to consumers having to buy two games, in order to get the full experience. That way, you get double the money from game sales, and double the money from creating DLC for each respective game. Hire me THQ, I’m available. I’m like JBL when it comes to money-making schemes.

There we are, a small rant about how DLC is pretty much a scam to get you to invest in their product. However, with that said, if you are involved in the game to the point where you would invest in the downloadable content to extend the experience, or you are a fan of the product that you would invest just to get the maximum out of the game, then it doesn’t matter does it? Because you’ll just buy the game, then the DLC, giving the developer lots of money, and allowing them to scam you with deals which you should already have from the moment you buy the disc. At least THQ aren’t like Capcom.. who will sell a game, release DLC, then release an ‘Ultimate’ version of the game, with the same characters as the first game and the DLC, but 16 more characters that are only on the ‘Ultimate’ version, thus making those who bought the first game complete numptys for wasting their money. Isn’t that right Marvel vs. Capcom 3?

Also, if you noticed the link between the Opening and a website about professional wrestling.. aren’t you clever.

If you noticed the link between the Opening and a member of the writing team.. then you should get out more. But thanks for reading our website.

The post A Wrestling Game Has Downloadable Content That Doesn’t Rip You Off Like Capcom Does appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

That’s not right. It’s Joe, not Jimmy. Anyways, I haven’t written a piece in awhile, and I had an idea about doing one based on how to get a job in the big two companies. But would mean some sort of seriousness on my part, and besides, how can I put random YouTube links in random words when I’m being serious?

Never Mind That Shit.. I mean..

Cue die Öffnung

Has anyone else noticed that the only way to get a job in the WWE, is if you’re a relative of a wrestler from wrestling’s past? Natalya is Jim Neidhart’s daughter, Ted DiBiase Jr. is the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase’s son, Cody Rhodes and Goldust are Dusty Rhodes’ boys. The list goes on. Infact, here is that list:

Alberto Del Rio, Epico, Michael McGillicutty, Primo, Husky Harris, Rey Mysterio, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Randy Orton, Natalya, Tamina Snuka.. just to name a few. Althugh, the Bella Twins are actually twins. Vickie Guerrero was married to Eddie Guerrero, John Laurinaitis is Road Warrior Animal’s brother, The Rock’s father is Rocky Johnson and Peter Maivia’s Grandson. There’s bound to be me more, I’m not listing them al, I’d be here for seven years, and that’s not including all the relations of wrestlers currently in developmental. My point is, if you want a job at the WWE, be a relative of someone associated with wrestling’s past. Or be involved in the TV show Gladiators (see Ryan, Mason)

MUSIC BREAK: The Clash

I don’t remember this in Metal Gear Solid. I might have to play through it again.

I’ve had requests to talk about Zack Ryder’s new t-shirt based on the Statue of Liberty. Not only is it a bit derogatory toward one of the United States’ monuments, but it’s not a very good t-shirt. It’s has far too much orange to be a normal t-shirt. Then again, children these days probably like that kid of thing, so it will sell like hot cakes. What I don’t understand is, why bring out new merchandise, for someone’s who’s career they killed thanks to John Cena? They had Cena “feud” with Ryder, Cena stole his slut girlfriend whore, and all this will lead to absolutely nothing, as Cena already has a match at ‘Mania against the Rock in what only the E are saying is the biggest match of all time. So the point of all this was..

I knew it wasn’t Rikishi that ran down the Rattlesnake.

MUSIC BREAK: Adolf Hitler’s apparent sexual fetishes

Triple H vs. Undertaker w/Shawn Michaels as referee in Hell In A Cell at Wrestlemania. Hell In A Cell is Undertaker’s match. That’s what they say anyways. However, Triple H has won more Hell In A Cell matches than the Undertaker. So how is it Undertaker’s match? Anyways.. as if the Undertaker loses here. Who does Triple H think he is? Eli Manning? The Mountie? Kevin Nash?

Shawn Michaels forfeiting every title? Surely you can’t be serious..

MUSIC BREAK: Nickelback

And right now, I’ve purely ran out of ideas for things to write about. I’m not a fan anymore, I don’t watch their programming. I only bought WWE ’12, was so I could re-create the Attitude era. My game has the Corporate Ministry, the nWo Wolfpac and the Nation Of Domination among other things, including Captain Planet in the Four Horsemen. So what I will do, is leave you with a match. This match in particular is from Unforgiven 1999, and the Main Event from that PPV. The Six-Pack challenge between the Big Show, British Bulldog, Mankind, Kane, Triple H and The Rock for the vacant WWF Championship. Oh, did I mention that there’s a Special Referee?

The post What’s In A Name, In A Name, In A Name.. My Time, My Time.. appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Also a name isn’t meant to be misleading. The name is meant to describe what your product is about. This website’s name is Bored Wrestling Fan, because we are all bored, it’s about Wrestling (mostly), and we’re all fans of wrestling (mostly). So why is it, that the two mainstream wrestling companies have completely misleading names?

For instance. the NFL stands for National Football League, because it is National (it stays in America, although they wish the Europeans liked it), it’s Football, because that’s the sport they play, and it’s a League, because that’s how the teams are organized for the regular season, in a league format.

TNA stands for Total Nonstop Action. There has never been Nonstop Action. Ever. There’s always some pointless promo from someone about the other company or who they used to be, or about how they’re the biggest thing in the history of the business. If I wanted to watch old people talk and attempt to be entertaining for two hours, I’d watch four episodes of the Golden Girls, and with the Golden Girls I’d be assured of being entertained. If I wanted to watch old people talk about how good they think they were in the past, then I’d go to an old people’s home and listen to the crazy section. TNA should stand for There’s No Action, because it’s all become some massive joke. It’s the reject bin, the old folks home. A place where old people go to tell stories of their past and act like they did when people actually gave a fuck about who they were and what they said.

WWE stands for World Wrestling Entertainment. The World part suits, as it is a worldwide product, so that’s reasonable. But the rest? It is fact, that no-one on a WWE broadcast, is allowed to mention the words ‘Pro Wrestling’ or ‘Wrestler’ on TV, and yet the word ‘Wrestling’ is in the title of your product? Chewbacca living in an Ewok village makes more sense. Entertainment? The WWE have for years called themselves ‘Sports Entertainment’, which in itself is a joke, as all sport is entertaining in it’s own way, thus rendering the phrase ‘Sports Entertainment’ useless. The only reason they use that term, is because they want to be more like Saturday Night Live, Conan or the Daily Show, rather than a sport, so calling themselves a sport is a bit of a stretch. Sure, they have athletes who put their bodies through some very strenuous activity. But at the same time, they spend more time standing around talking, and supplying material that makes Dennis Miller of today funny, that they forget just what it is they’re actually meant to be supplying their fans.

Sure it amuses the eight year old. Anything can amuse an eight year old if you show enough of it to them, but what about the fans who grew up with some of the best wrestlers in the world? Guys like Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels? They say Ric Flair could have a 60 minute match with a broomstick and it would be entertaining. These days, the broomstick have more ability than 95% of those who compete in these mainstream companies. The one thing Jim Cornette is trying to bring back via Ring Of Honor is something called wrestling, with wrestling matches with actual wrestlers. I’m not saying I endorse ROH because I haven’t seen a show in a long time, so I can go on hearsay, but it’s got to be better than just creating a worldwide show, to a worldwide audience, with fans of all ages all around the world, so that you and your mates and have a laugh. Triple H admitted that every time they re-formed D-Generation X since it’s hey-dey, all he and Shawn Michaels did was try and make each other laugh. That’s it. Triple H is in charge of finding new talent for the WWE, and he creates product that is only funny to he and his best mate. This is the same company that admits that their writing staff includes people that used to write for Conan O’Brien. Just what the fuck are they trying to create here?

Triple H has said that when he gets in charge, he believes that it will be bigger and better than it was. Here’s the reality Helmsley, your mother and father-in-law’s company bought out or bullied out every piece of competition you had, and left everyone watching your product. Your chance to dominate, and put your stamp as wrestling in the world. Your chance to make sure that if anyone even thought about competing with you, then it would fall by the waste side quicker than a Bill Goldberg match. The NFL proved that with the XFL. There’s a reason that TNA and ROH are still going. It’s because the WWE think nothing about their own fans opinion’s on their product, that they’d rather spend their money entertaining themselves with crap jokes, and lame inside material that they think is edgy and a ‘shoot’, when in fact it’s just a lame attempt to try and impress everyone.

I’ve been a fan pretty much my entire life, and I can only speak for myself when I say I watch a wrestling program to see action, and a good storyline to support that action. An overall product where words build up to what turns out to be a great spectacle. Back in the days of the F, they had five main Pay-Per-Views that they based the year around. These days, one of them is gone, and the rest have just become names in regards to the gimmicks the rest of the PPVs have become. You shouldn’t need a gimmick to sell a PPV, you need good wrestlers, a good storyline, and a build-up to make you want to buy that PPV. Sure a gimmick can work on occasion, but these days, gimmick matches are becoming more regular than a standard one-on-one or tag match. Gimmick matches were to end feuds, not to be shown every week.

Maybe I just miss the good old days, where I could watch what looked like super-human beings entertain my young eyes with matches that you would remember for years. These days it’s watching one guy who thinks he’s Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan thinking he’s relevant, and two owners who’s too busy watching to see if their wife gets into the Senate, and another owner who has absolutely no idea about the wrestling business, and just throws daddy’s money to whomever she thinks known something, because fifteen years ago, they did something for a year that people liked. How many wrestlers did you create Bischoff? Two-move Goldberg? Your good mate DDP?

Anyways, why do either of these companies even pretend that they’re in the wrestling industry anymore? They don’t show any of it. It’s all gimmicks and has-beens and too many lame inside jokes that anyone with a lick of intelligence are walking away from a product they once loved. Either live up to your name, or get rid of it. Call yourself World Lame Circus Entertainment or something. The only thing missing is a clown. Oh wait.. that’s what John Cena is for.

The post BWF’s Half-Time Show appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

I bet you thinking the other kind of hash weren’t you? However, that symbol. You can find it on a phone to the right of the 0, and yet it is the one symbol that could destroy the foundations on which we stand. The one symbol that could do more damage than Eric Bischoff’s WCW ever could. The one symbol, that means more than the sign of the Wolfpac, the middle finger, and whatever it was Jimmy Snuka used to do combined. But how can a simple number sign be so powerful and deadly?

Ever since the E started becoming romantically obsessed with Twitter, the number sign has been plastered on every single item they can possibly put it on. It even sits in the top left corner of every show. I agree you need to expose yourself with social media outlets to get your name around, but you don’t need to do it like your life depends on it.

Around about 2000/01, the F started putting websites underneath the nameplates of wrestlers as they came to the ring, to promote newly created websites. For example, for a time when The Rock would come to the ring, it would say wwftherock.com (not a real website now), underneath ‘The Rock’ to show that he had his own website, much like it did for Triple H, Stone Cold and Chris Jericho, as shown in the following clip.

Much the same would occur for when the WWF had a new CD that was coming out. They would show a little icon saying that this theme was on the CD, that corresponded with the wrestler’s entrance.  Like in this clip of Triple H’s entrance at Wrestlemania X-Seven. It comes up for about 10-15 seconds to give the viewer a chance to see it and read it, before it went off screen. Nowhere near overkill, and a subtle way or promoting a product.

These products were only mentioned sparingly by the commentators, as another quick shill to get the viewer’s attention, but it never went on and on every single show, like they were extremely desperate that you buy this CD or go to this website like your life depended on it. However, these days.. it’s a lot different.

Twitter gets mentioned. A lot. I haven’t watched since Shawn Michaels’ retirement and even I know that. I can just be checking my twitter (@ThatDamnDoubleC), and there it is, something to do with the E is trending. Since when did ‘trending’ become the new ratings? I didn’t realize that it’s better to have something trending worldwide on a social media website, than it is to have more than 5 million people watching your program. I also noticed during a quick flick of the channel the other day, that #wwe sits constantly in the top corner, and it’s mentioned by the commentary at every opportunity.

During an interview with Mr. Game, he stated that the E needs to jump aboard the social media train, as that’s the it thing, and it is. That’s why pretty much everyone has either Facebook or Twitter or Google Plus or MySpace (does anyone even use MySpace?) or all of them, in order to get whatever it is they want to get across, across, because they know that’s where the majority of the people will see it. So what does all this have to do with the number sign killing the E?

What happens if Twitter becomes unpopular? Sooner rather than later, the next big thing is going to come along and sweep everything else aside. What if people get sick of the shameless self plugging on every single program that they just don’t bother or ‘follow’ you anymore? Then what happens. People get driven away because of this obsession of getting people to like them. It’s like the E are that one kid in school that nobody liked and tried to do stupid shit in order to get their attention. I’m not saying they should stop mentioning it all together, but just a simple (@whatevertheirnameis) underneath their name plate as they come to wrestle is enough. People can see it, and it’s not drowning out your entire program.

If the E continues to drown out their programs with their shameless promotion of what they’re doing on Twitter, then sooner, rather than later, everyone will get sick of it, and just not give a damn, no matter how many times you give Hulk Cena the title. Self promotion is a good thing, and a small ad on a TV show can work well.. but drowning out your program with an advertisement for what you’re doing on a social media site? If you were putting out a decent product, then you wouldn’t need to shamelessly plug yourself to Twitter. Everyone else would be doing it for you.

A recap of the I Quit match from the Royal Rumble between the Rock and Mankind is played, showing that the Rock never actually won the match, due to it being a recording of Mankind saying ‘I Quit’ as opposed to the actual Mankind saying it. Which is what lead to the match on Halftime HeAT.

Kevin Kelly introduces us to Todd Pettengill. At least it would be Todd Pettengill if he didn’t leave. Instead we get his replacement, Michael Cole. Cole is at the arena, the empty arena, which will host the WWF Championship match.

Interesting moment comes next, as Shane O leads the Corporation to the ring, the titantron is playing what would become the entrance video, for one Chris Jericho. The induction of Chyna to the Corporation after she left DX is why they’re here. Shane introduces Chyna as the newest and hottest member of the Corporation.. Test is in the ring.. I’d say she’s a hotter female than Chyna. Who gave Chyna a mic? Why could I drive my car down Chyna’s cleavage? Chyna wants gratification? Does that explain the sex tape? Chyna joined the Corporation due to money, and told DX to suck it.. ooo sound so tough Chyna.. cue Chris Warren.

Helmsley, the Outlaws and the European Champion come to ringside. Helmsley says that it will never happen again. What, that a member of DX joins the Corporation? Wait.. oh, this is before WrestleMania. The crowd chants Chyna sucks.. so they have seen the sex tape? HHH said Chyna wanted to be treated as an equal, but she couldn’t be because the rest of DX had balls, and Chyna didn’t have any. She has a penis, does that not count? Then Hunter calls her a two-dollar whore. The true Chyna revealed right there. Now they gave X-Pac the mic, and he just screams down it as always. He goes on about how Shane gave him the Bronco Buster on Raw, and how he’s gonna shove Shane’s silver spoon up his a.. before Road Dogg cuts him off and says that this is HeAT, and that he can’t say that word on HeAT. Shane says he can take X-Pac.. well Chyna can, so I’m sure anyone can. Shane makes a match for Raw tomorrow night between Helmsley and Kane inside a Steel Cage. Mankind arrives at the empty arena, in what looks like my car.. only my car has four seats and looks bigger.

Remember kids, St. Valentine’s Day Massacre is just two weeks away!

KK is joined by his colour commentator, Shane McMahon, for our opening match.

MATCH#1: WWF Tag Team Champion Jeff Jarrett w/Debra vs. Big Bossman

This match is happening due to the Blue Blazer helping Owen and Jarrett win the Tag Titles off of the Bossman and Shamrock on Raw.

Jarrett gets the counter after the Irish Whip, but after a few punches can’t get the Bossman down, Double J receives a Spinebuster for his troubles. But as the Bossman goes for the pin, up comes Debra to the apron to play distraction. It allows Jarrett to get back onto his feet, and run right into a Sidewalk Slam, and the Big Bossman gets the three. Then Jarrett receives a nightstick to the face for good measure. The Corporate limo, with the Corporate Champion and Vinnie Mac arrive to the empty arena.

MATCH#2: Intercontinental Champion and World’s Dangerous Man Ken Shamrock vs.WWF Tag Team Champion Owen Hart

As Shamrock walks down the aisle, we see another one of Val Venis’ sex tapes entitled ‘Sister Act’, in which Val does the dirty with Ryan Shamrock, Ken’s sister. Venis introduces this video as the making for another video ‘Saving Ryan’s Privates’, and then Ryan and Val are about to shower together, but of course, this is HeAT, and that can’t be shown here.

Shamrock sets up Owen for the Belly To Belly suplex, but here comes the Blue Blazer.. the Black Blue Blazer, and he looks to fly. But Shamrock notices this, and whips Owen into the ropes, which knocks off the Blazer, and Kenny connects the Belly To Belly suplex and gets the three.

Tomorrow night on Raw, Vince goes Rattle Snake hunting, and Trips faces Kane in a cage.

The end of the match between The Rock and Triple H for the WWF Championship on Raw last week is shown, in which Trips looks to have the title won, only for Chyna to low blow the future game, and join the Corporation.

As you can tell, it’s filler before Halftime HeAT, as they’re just showing highlights from the past week’s Raw. Now it’s time for Vinnie Mac, and  how he eliminated Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Royal Rumble the night earlier.

The WWF Superbowl commercial is shown leading into Halftime HeAT!

Halftime HeAT MAIN EVENT : WWF Championship

The Rock (c) w/Vince McMahon vs. Mankind

Vince relieves Shane and Kevin Kelly of their duties, as Vince takes over on commentary. This match starts in the ring, but ends up everywhere. The Rock messes up the seating arrangements in the arena. Then as Mankind is beaten down, the Rock joins Vince on commentary, that is until Mankind applies the Mandible Claw. But his advantage doesn’t last long, as the Rock sends Mankind up the stairs of the crowd and backstage. The Rock is supplying running commentary so to speak, as he sends Mankind into some cotton candy and a metal fridge. The Rock then shows us his murderous side, and throws Mr. Socko into the oven. He then tries to send Mankind into the same oven, but of course, Foley is fat and will not fit. Rocky then proceeds to trash the kitchen and tells Mankind off for making a mess, as he sings to a bottle of Jack Daniels, he takes a sip, which allows Mankind to gain control of the matchup. Vince says that wasn’t real liquor, as real liquor has never touched the Rock’s lips. So Jack Daniels isn’t real liquor? Does that mean I can drink as much as I want of it, and I won’t be drink driving because it’s not real liquor? Mankind then uses a bag of popcorn as a weapon, as we head out the exit into another area, where people are sitting down. Wait, this was an empty arena match, and Sean Mooney Todd Pettengill Michael Cole told us that the only people in the arena would be Vince, Rock, Mankind, and referee Earl Hebner. What are all these people doing here, sitting down and eating. Maybe their here to buy t-shirts from Earl Hebner? If that’s the case, wouldn’t Dave have the car outside with the boot load?

Rock tastes the popcorn, and it’s too salty for his liking so the proceed to have a mini food fight. The Rock asks Mankind ‘How about some bread you fat bleep’, and then throws salsa in Foley’s eye. Rock grabs a chip, and dips it onto the salsa which landed on Foley’s face and complains that it’s only mild. Mankind then tries to piledrive the Champ, but gets back body dropped over the table. Rock then uses more items found laying around to hit Mankind, including food that the Rock don’t even know what it is. Vince called it a ‘nasty looking squash’. Foley throws a cloth of some sort, and that causes a distraction just enough for him to low blow the Corporate Champion., and get a near fall. Rock then regains control after hitting Mankind with some sort of hard glass bowl, which didn’t shatter. We then head out another exit, and into the office area, where there are more people.. this arena really is ’empty’ isn’t it? Rock offers Foley a seat and the phone rings. Rock answers it as ‘Smackdown hotel’, and that Mankind is unavailable due to him being unavailable due to his mouth being full with the Rock’s foot in his mouth. Rock hangs up, sends Mankind to the sofa, then answers the phone again. This time Mankind is unavailable due to him being tied up, as the Rock chokes his challenger with the phone cord.

Rock then begins to flurt with some girl in the office before calling her a fat piece of trash, which allows Mankind to attack. Mankind sends Rock down the corridor, as Vince asks for Shane O and Kevin Kelly’s thoughts on the match. The Rock and Mankind end up in the loading dock, as Vince takes over commentary once again. Mankind sends some rights the Rock’s way, and then both men try the right and knock the other down. Mankind puts on Mr. Socko and applies it on the the Rock. It makes the Rock pass out conveniently next to a forklift, and as Mankind asks politely if the forklift driver can get out, he then takes control of the fork, which is loaded with a crate full of beer kegs, and drops it on the Rock, pinning him down to the ground. Mankind then uses the opportunity to stand on top of the crate, and get the three count to become the WWF Champion once again. Shane throws his pen in disgust, and Mankind rubs the title in the Rock’s face, as Halftime HeAT comes to a close.

If that intro makes no sense, it’s because I could not word the intro. The idea was there, but when it came time to write a suitable intro the the piece.. nothing. So that was the best I could come up with.. anyways, to try and explain the intro.

Big Show gets revenge on the Big Bossman for towing Big Show’s daddy’s coffin away during the funeral.

As we all know, leading up to the Survivor Series PPV of 1999, the Big Show, lost his father. This allowed the number one contender, the Big Bossman, to take advantage of the situation. After reading out a poem degrading the Big Show’s father, he then persuaded the Big Show’s mother to admit that the Big Show was an illegitimate child or bastard. But the most memorable moment of this feud, occured on the 11/11/99 edition of WWF SmackDown!, in which the Big Bossman, interrupting the funeral of the Big Show’s father, towed the casket away in his police car, with the Big Show trying to stop it. Now, these two would compete at the Survivor Series, in which the Big Show defeated the Big Bossman, Prince Albert, Mideon and Viscera in a 4-1 Survivor Series. The feud would continue to Armageddon, in which the Big Show finally got his revenge on the Big Bossman, by defeating him in a one-on-one match, even though Prince Albert tried to intefere on the Bissman’s behalf, only to be treated to a trip through the Spanish Announce table, courtesy of the Big Show.

In 2004.. the Big Bossman passed away of a heart attack at age 41.

What if the storyline read.. the Big Show wanted the ultimate revenge. Five long years after the Big Bossman towed the Big Show’s father’s casket away from the burial site to god knows where (Where did the Big Bossman take that casket.. maybe that’s another column), the Big Show gets revenge by towing the Big Bossman’s casket away from his family, during the burial process, thus finally getting revenge on the man who ruined his life five years earlier. In 2004, the Big Show wasn’t really seen on WWE television, until Septembe, when he interfered in a Kurt Angle/Eddie Guerrero Lumberjack match.

Rumour has it, that if A-Train, Prince Albert’s new persona, was not injured on the June 21, 2004 edition of WWE Raw, that the Big Show and Albert would feud, and that the Big Show would in fact tow the casket of the Big Bossman, A-Train’s running buddy at the time. However, at the time, the Big Bossman had not passed, and the Big Show returned to feud with Kurt Angle. However, when the Bossman did pass away September 22 of that year, the WWE were so angry, that they fired A-Train on November 1, and the whole revenge feud was dropped.

And that my friends, is the reason why people get revenge by winning matches in the wrestling business, and not by other means.

The post Revenge Storylines: Why They Don’t Happen appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Cue the opening

We begin, with the crushing of an egg, otherwise known as Stone Cold Steve Austin. The arena is pitch black, until Austin starts walking down to the ring, when as we walks, the lights become more and more turned on. Austin brings the light. He’s being interviewed by JR, and Austin doesn’t like Michaels, as he saved him from being attacked by the Hart Foundation. Austin continues, only to be cut off by the entering of Shawn Michaels. Michaels doesn’t like Austin, Austin doesn’t like Michaels. Shawn used Austin’s catch phrase, which leads to fisticuffs and enter the usual suspects sent to break up fights.

What’s that? Owen, Anvil and Bulldog appear on the titantron, and issue a challenge for Austin and HBK for the Tag belts next week. Michaels doesn’t want Austin as a partner, Austin doesn’t want Michaels as a partner. Fisticuffs between the two again, and JR and King finally start commentating.

Enter the Nation of Domination’s Crush, followed by the rest of the Nation, he’s meant to face Vader in the King Of The Ring Tournament, but Vader’s nose is spread across his face, due to Shamrock at the Cold Day In Hell In Your House Pay-Per View. And what do ya know.. look who Vader’s replacement is..

MATCH #1: KING OF THE RING FIRST ROUND MATCH

Crush w/Nation of Domination vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley w/Chyna

Apparently, Helmsley was already knocked out last week by Ahmed Johnson. However, because of an error by referee Tim White, in which Hunter was told that he could only advance by Pinfall or Submission, and not by DQ, Helmsley was given Vader’s spot in the tournament. Thanks for telling us Gerald Brisco. Now, to be honest, I’m not going into full match detail with these things, you’ll just get how the result came to be.

Anyways, Vega’s up on the apron as distraction, which allows Helmsley to motion Chyna, however Crush fights out, and the referee turns his attention to Chyna up on the apron. This allowed Savio Vega to miss Hunter with his kick, and instead connect with Crush’s head, allowing Hunter Hearst Helmsley to win the match, and advance. I have good feelings about this Helmsley guy.. I see him destined for big things. Just a hunch. The Nation argue in the ring, as the Hart Foundation are to compete.. next!

MATCH#2: Two-Time Slammy Award Winner, WWF Intercontinental Champion and Co-Tag Team Champion Owen Hart w/Co-Tag Team Champion British Bulldog and Jim ‘the Anvil’ Neidhart vs. Bob ‘Spark Plugg’ Holly

The hometown hero takes on the man with double gold. Owen looks for the Sharpshooter, only for Holly to counter, wrapping him up in a pin, and getting the three.

An interview with the Undertaker is shown from the previous week, in regards to a secret Paul Bearer is threatening to reveal, if the Undertaker doesn’t return to Bearer.

Michaels and Shamrock get interviewed by JR.. looks like HBK has found his man to take on the Hart Foundation for the Tag Titles next week.

The lights aren’t shining as well as what they should be and the transmission isn’t behaving due to a thunderstorm in the area.

Now we see another interview.. this time it’s an interview with Mankind.. Part One! Highlights include Mankind saying he was always the Indian in the game of Cowboys and Indians, playing a game called ‘Kill The Guy With The Ball’, as a kid, how he loved pain, and how he wanted to a be a pro wrestler. The kids also picked on Mankind as a kid.. stay tuned for Part Two! (not in this episode, the 26th May 1997 edition).

MATCH#3: Leif Cassidy vs. Scott Taylor

Jerry Lawler just said that Rob Van Dam could be the Tiger Woods of the WWF, but he can’t due to Paul Heyman not allowing RVD back in the WWF.

These matches don’t go for very long. Cassidy connects with a sit-down front suplex, and as he attempts another, Taylor counters into a roll-up for the three. Leif Cassidy is now going nuts at JR. JR tells him to get help. Maybe he’ll start writing Help Me on his forehead?

Austin’s search for a tag partner leads him to Sable. A topless Sable, with only her breasticles covered up by an Austin t-shirt. Turns out Stone Cold doesn’t want her as a tag partner.

Apparently the Nutter Center in Dayton Ohio, is named after Jerry Lawler.

The Hitman arrives, on crutches. The Hart Foundation in discussion, and rather than show us why the Hitman is on crutches presumably, they cut to something completely different.. like to more than half a million each week.. that thing.

Instead, Bret’s in a wheelchair (which means he’s already injured from a previous WWF event), and after he sends the rest of the Hart Foundation to the back, he calls out HBK. Bret starts abusing Michaels, which leads to Sweet Chin Music. Enter the Hart Foundation, who finally caught Michaels, and they decided to lay a beat down on him, only for Austin to play savior and rescue HBK.

Cue the opening

Cue the Hart Foundation. Cue Vince McMahon on commentary for the Warzone.

Bret has the mic, and starts bagging out Americans like he always does. His announcement is that he’s coming back at the King Of The Ring, and he’s challenging Shawn Michaels to a match, and if Bret can’t beat Shawn in ten minutes, then the Hitman will never, ever wrestle in the United States again. Michaels appears on the titantron to discuss the challenge. Shawn wants the other members of the Hart Foundation handcuffed to the ringposts, so they don’t interfere. HBK also mentions the infamous ‘Sunny Days’ comment during this promo. Bret agrees with the stipulations and it’s on for the King Of The Ring.

Goldust introduces Marlena and their daughter Dakota to the ring, and they all have a play and a muck around. Marlena and Dakota leave, and Goldust is ready to face his opponent.

MATCH#4: Goldust vs. Rockabilly w/Honky Tonk Man

Rockabilly gets tied up in the ropes, and as the referee tries to set him free, Honky enters with guitar in tow, but Goldust sees this, and smashes the guitar over Honky’s head instead, which leads to the referee ending the match, and awarding it to Rockabilly via DQ.

Ahmed Johnson interview with Vince, discussing Faarooq playing the race card in regards to their never being a black WWF Champion. Ahmed Johnson says he will be the first black WWF Champion. Funny, I thought you spelt it T-H-E-R-O-C-K.

Austin is trying to convince Harvey Wippleman to be his tag partner, then the Brooklyn Brawler appears wanting to be his partner. Stone Cold throws him into the barrels, then tells Wippleman that he has to be his partner, and just stand there as Austin whips ass.

Now we cut to a series of ads involving Sunny and the Super Soaker.

MATCH#5: Rocky Maivia vs. Faarooq w/Nation Of Domination

Oh no, we’re running long, so we won’t the Godwins compete. Oh darn. Enter the Nation Of Domination.

Maivia heads up top, Faarooq hits the ropes, causing Rocky to wishbone on the turnbuckle, allowing Faarooq to hit the Dominator for the win. Savio and Crush want to beat down Rocky, but Faarooq says NO!

We cut to the Hart Foundation beating up Bob Holly. That’s what happens when you beat Owen Hart in a match. It’s just fact.

Enter the Undertaker. The WWF Champion. He is being interviewed by Vince McMahon, and they first discuss the race card. The Undertaker isn’t the qhite saviour, as he doesn’t see colour. He’s not white, nor black, he’s the reaper of wayward souls. In regards to the secret, Undertaker says it isn’t the time, but then that screech is heard, and Paul Bearer says it is. Bearer is on the titantron, and looks like the mummy. Just because the Undertaker burned you Paul Bearer, doesn’t mean you need to look like a mummy.. maybe you want Brendan Fraser’s attention? Bearer wants Taker back, but the Deadman needs more time. Bearer gives him seven sunsets for the Undertaker to once again be at Bearer’s side, or the secret will be revealed.

MAIN EVENT: Jim ‘the Anvil’ Neidhart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

Austin enters with a crutch, wary of the Hart Foundation, who enter ringside just after the match has started. Brian Pillman has also joined the commentary team, as it will be Pillman/Austin at the King Of The Ring. Austin goes after Pillman, which sends Pillman into the ring with the crutch Austin brought down, and hitting Austin with it. Hart Foundation come for a beat down, Shawn Michaels comes to play hero. Also, President Gorilla Monsoon has just informed the commentary team, that Austin and Michaels must tag team next week to face Owen and Bulldog for the tag titles. HBK says there’s no way he’s tagging with Austin, which leads to fisticuffs again between the two, and the usual batch of referees, Brisco and Patterson have trouble breaking them up, as it ends.

Cue the opening

Now then, where was I? Ah yes, your first day. It can be nervous. Strange people, strange atmosphere, strange.. everything. You don’t want to make a fool of yourself from the word GO!, as that could very much reflect badly during your time there. How you act on that first day, will determine how everyone else sees you from that day forth. With that said.. I shall give you, various ways of approaching the first day, so you know, which way is right for you.

LESSON ONE: Acting cool

Everybody wants to be cool. It’s just nature. Nobody wants to be the one picked on. But I can hear you asking.. how do I be cool? Well, first off.. it might help to have yourself a cool car. A cool car can help portray that cool image you’re looking for. However, a cool car isn’t the only thing you’ll need. You also to dress cool. Arriving for your first day, in a cool car, dressed in a cool way, will give people the image that you are in fact, cool. But, the most important thing, is how you portray yourself. You can dress cool, and have cool cars, but if you behave in an uncool manner, then people will laugh at you for pretending to be cool. So remember, act cool.

When you turn up for that first day in a cool car, in the coolest car, and the coolest attitude. Then everyone will recognize that you are indeed cool, and if they don’t? Well, you can always spit food in their face.

LESSON TWO: Someone of foreign descent

Ah, you’ve come from another country, and you want to begin life anew in a new world so to speak. However, people will look down upon you for being different than what they are, for not speaking the same language as them, even for not participating in the same customs as the locals. However, don’t be afraid to be yourself. There are some people out there who welcome people of a different country or lifestyle. So, be you from France, Ireland, Japan, the Mean Streets of Greenwich, France, the Middle East, Prison, the Mean Streets of Greenwich, or Germany. Feel free to express yourself, sure some people won’t like you at first, but sooner than later, you will find people who will except you for who you are. Except if you’re Mexican, then you’ll be chased back to your own country. It’s what the rich do to Mexicans.

LESSON THREE: Acting like a freak

Hey, there are some people out there that actually want to be a freak. They think that if they behave like a freak, then people will at least pay attention to them. However, not all freaks are noticed. Some freaks become so big of a freak, that they become so insignificant, they end up living their lives in some deep dark sewer away from all life. I don’t want to see that happening to anyone, so, if you want to act like a freak, here’s what you need to do, to be a freak people actually notice. Firstly, get yourself a wig. Not just any wig though, something striking, like a long haired gold or silver wig. Second, paint your face the same colour as your wig. We want things to match, mixing colours doesn’t work for a true freak. Thirdly, dress yourself matching the colours you chose for your face and wig. It will help add to the ‘weird’ or ‘bizarre’ aspect a good freak looks for. Finally, pretend to be from somewhere extravagant like Hollywood. Adding a location where the bizarre could in fact roam, will be the cherry on top of your freak persona, and it will hopefully, provide enough freakiness, that everyone accepts you as ‘the freak’.

LESSON FOUR: The British

This could fit into section two. Acting British calls for a bit of pompousness about yourself, as that describes a stereotypical British person, and sometimes, if you are British, and trying to fit into another society, don’t pretend to be a person from that society, it just doesn’t work. Although, acting British can have it’s downsides, for instance.. if you cannot pull off a British accent, just make it as pompous as you can. Sooner than later, you’ll end up committing acts of a sexual nature with the boss’ daughter and running the business in no time.

There you are, those are just some of the ways you could portray yourself on that first day, so with those tips, and this one about how to act like a fan of country music, or this one about how to act like you’re pissed off at everything. You can kiss those first day nerves goodbye, and go into whatever it is, with the utmost confidence..

Can I see that really bad pompous British accent again?

I thought I’d get in before anyone else, and be serious.. if just for a moment. For those who missed, an ESPN program, entitled E:60, documented the life of Scott Hall, and his struggles with alcohol and drugs in his life. I’m sure if you’re a real wrestling fan (even old school guys like me), know about the troubles Scott Hall has had throughout. The following video linked below, is the E:60 presentation. E:60, is a ESPN documentary program, leaving no stone unturned. It’s almost like ESPN’s version of the History Channel so to speak, and their expose on Hall is just one of many stories that have been investigated well, and one of many that is of a more serious nature.

The video is here.

Cue The Opening

Let’s get to business. In Part Deux of Video Game o-Mania, I shall provide you of reviews of both Dead Island, and NHL 12. I waited to do these reviews, so that I could get complete Dead Island first, and now that I have finished it. I can provide a full review, and that’s where I’ll begin.

DEAD ISLAND

I was excited for this game originally, going by the trailer I linked in the title (See, it pays to click the links.. all of them), and in the first several hours of gameplay, I was enjoying running over zombies and beating their heads in with a baseball bat, bit as time went by. I felt a sense of deja vu so to speak. For you see, for those that have played it. I want you to do one thing. If you havent played or don’t own FarCry 2, I want you to play it, and I promise you, that it will feel remarkably similar to a game which involves you killing zombies in an open world. Even though Dead Island and FarCry 2 are made by different companies, and several years apart, the play exactly the same. Everything from the way you drive, to the way you use a weapon. Exactly the same. So now I’ve mentioned that sheer disappointment in my book, let’s talk about the story.

First of all, you’re not in Australia, you’re in Papua New Guinea. Let me clear that up. They may not mention it exactly, but Port Moresby is the capital of PNG, and you enter the City of Moresby in the game. Even though Sydney is mentioned at the end of the game, you are trapped in PNG, but enough about that. The story is simple, there’s a guy that needs help because his wife is turning into a zombie, and he needs your help, so that his wife can be saved before she eats him (and not in a good way). You choose from of four characters (ala Borderlands), and help the character known in the majority of the game as ‘the Voice’, all the while, helping survivors and fending off thousands of zombies, with an attacking scheme that can quite easily turn into a clusterfuck, leaving you dead. That happens a lot. If you have more than say two zombies coming at you at a time, chances are you’ll die. If you get attacked by more than two infected zombies (which are zombies that run at you), at the same time, chances are you’ll die. If you end up in a group on zombies, regardless of type, you will, regardless of weapon equipped. The attacking mechanic, is often poor, leaving you frustrated and annoyed, and dead.

There is a variety of weapons, and most of which can be upgraded and modified to create more dangerous weapons. For example, you can re-create Cactus Jack’s famous ‘Barbed-Wire Baseball Bat’, or turn a wrench into an electrified death stick. Which can be fun to strike zombies with various weapons, but the weapons don’t last very long before they need repairing and/or break and become useless until you repair them. Luckily, there’s plenty of places to look for money needed to repair weapons, but also for parts that can help modify your weapons. Another thing, is the health. Besides the Medium and Large Medkits that can be found or bought. Health can be replenished by drinking soda and eating candy. Remember kids, soda and candy doesn’t make you fat, it helps you live longer.

Now to the end of the story, in which you meet “the Voice”, after he tricks you, gasses you, takes the vaccine, and is about to leave for Sydney on a helicopter with his now zombie wife. You may think that up coming is an epic boss battle to end all boss battles. But after you pick off the half dozen officers,  and the fifteen or so infected zombies that Ryder White (aka the Voice) sends after you. You end up facing him, after he gets bitten by his wife and turns into a big infected zombie. However, this isnt as epic as it sounds, because, if you upgrade your rage (rage being the ability to punch people with such force it kills normal zombies instantly), and use this against Mr. Voice, he dies, before the rage expires and the game ends with your characters bar the one that dies, escaping to Australia on the helicopter. Big epic ending that one.. /sarcasm.

The graphics are simple, yet unspectacular. The gameplay is far too familiar. The story is interesting at times, and there are several sub stories or tasks that you can complete as well, in order to get bonuses. The lifespan can be long, if you can tolerate doing the same thing over and over. What I mean is, kill zombies, die,  do a mission, kill zombies, die, repair weapons, die, kill zombies, mission, die, repair, kill, die, die, repair, loot, repair, die, mission, die etc. etc. You can go through the game again from the start, with all upgrades and weapon mods that you finish the game is. But personally, one time through is more than enough.

Personally, if I knew that the game would be as bad as what it is. I wouldn’t of bought it. I’ve heard others say that it’s their GOTY in terms of sheer enjoyment, but for m, the novelty of killing zombies died rather quickly. Besides, the zombie killing has been taken over by two far superior games in Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X, which have both been re-released recently in HD. My suggestion is, if you want to kill zombies, but RE4 or RE:CVX, rent Dead Island at best.

NHL 12

The sport that interests at least three staffers here at BWF, has returned. This time with legends! For the first time since retirement, you can play as such greats as Wayne Gretzky, Jeremy Roenick, Patrick Waaaaahhhh, Chris Chelios and Mario Lemieux. Play as them in the all-new Be A Legend mode, (which is Be A Pro mode, but rather than use a created player, you use a legend) and they can be placed in any team you wish. Have you ever wanted Super Mario as a Chicago Blackhawk? Or Gordie Howe scoring goals for the Toronto Maple Leafs? Or Gretzky back playing for the Oilers? All this can happen. However, don’t play as Roenick, and send him to the Dallas Stars to play. After just four games of the regular season, JR had 11 points (7 goals, 4 assists), and 25 PIM (mostly due to a game-misconduct I received five minutes into one game), and yet this was more than enough reason for the Stars management to send him down to the second line, because I wasn’t good enough. I knew the Stars hated star centres in the past (see Richards, Brad), but this is ridiculous.

However, with that saying, there isn’t really much wrong with this game. The gameplay is more refined, so it plays like a real hockey game. Players now jostle in front of the net for that tap-in or vital block. Goalies can now fight, be it Goalie on Goalie, or Goalie vs Skater. The Winter Classic is modelled to look just like the real thing. The commentary is still the same however, with Gary Thorne (who can also be heard on MLB 2K11), and Bill Clement, saying the same old things they used to, with a few minor differences. The arenas still don’t really feel like the actual arenas. I know it says that the Stars play at the American Airlines Center, and that the Buffalo Sabres play out of the Brett Hull Memorial Arena, but it just doesn’t feel like the arenas. The music played before, during and after the game isn’t the same as that played in real-life. They made an effort to fix this stuff for Madden 12 (even though that sucked), why couldn’t they do it for NHL 12?

The controls are similar to NHL 11, so fans of previous incarnations will find it easy to play. However, the CPU has been amped up a little, so you’ll find it a little harder to smash teams 10-0. The same leagues from NHL 11 are still in the game, and the national teams still aren’t licensed, which is a shame, because it would be fun playing in the KHL (which is Russia’s #1 Hockey League), especially considering the tragicness of the plane crash that killed pretty much the entire team of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, which included former NHL stars Pavol Demitra, Ruslan Salei and Karlis Skrastins. It would be a good way to honour that side, by being able to play as them in the game, maybe EA will add that side in, as a bonus for NHL 13, as a memorial.

The graphics improve each year, with the legends looking like their real-life prime counterparts. The breaking of the glass is a nice new feature, in which you can now break the glass, with the opponent’s head. The gameplay is as slick as an ice-hockey game can get, it’s seamless regardless of which mode you play. The lifespan is long, with Be A GM, Be A Pro, Be A Legend, Hockey Ultimate Team (which is my favourite mode, where else can I have a second line of Derek Roy, Joe Thornton and Paul Stastny), plus the EA Sports Hockey League returns for those fans of playing online.

Even if you own NHL 11, buy this game. It may not be the game NHL 11 was, but it’s the closest thing you’re gonna get to it.

Finally, I just wanted to mention, as I read along the fine pages of BWF, that this week is the first week a RAW review is actually done. Are wrestling fans that bored, that they’re not even caring about RAW anymore? Maybe someone needs to start reviewing old RAWs, back when things were actually exciting, and blood was acceptable, and when Vince used RAW as ‘the Cure for the Common Show‘. It might re-jig more interest, and get people more motivated to review the show, as opposed to just turn it off in disgust. I actually have every RAW IS WAR from 1997-99, plus every SmackDown! and Sunday Night Heat from 1999. See? My wrestling viewing is more than covered.

Also, a sad farewell to R.E.M., after 31 years the band called it quits. I liked R.E.M., it’s a shame it wasn’t U2 that broke up. I suppose, what would Bono do without another album supporting some random charity that he supports this week?

Well, that’s all for this edition. I actually noticed that this was written on a Wednesday, which is when I used to bring a weekly piece.. ah those where the days.

The post The War On.. Video Game o-Mania Part Deux, And Did I See A RAW Review On This Website? appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Cue the opening..

In the War this week, it’s video games. as there is a massive influx of games coming to consoles and PC’s over the next few months, I thought I’d spend some time reviewing some of the games to have came out already. In this edition, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Driver: San Francisco and Madden NFL 12 are the games to be reviewed, and I will be your reviewer.

DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION

The year is 2027. You play as Adam Jensen, the security chief for Sarif Industries, who almost dies after an attack on the company’s HQ. After having his body augmented in order to survive, Jenses heads out to seek those responsible for the attack.

I would describe this game as a first-person shooter, with includes using stealth, hacking and my favourite, a shotgun, among many other ways to reach your ultimate goal. (I’m not going to spoil the story if you haven’t played it.. at least, I’ll try not to.)

This game.. is just awesome. It really is. It’s challenging, it’s epic, it’s confusing. It’s everything you want in a video game and more. There is no multiplayer, and there is re playability value. (Try playing the game without setting off any alarms. Not only is it extremely difficult to do, but it also bags you an achievement/trophy).

It is available on the PS3, 360 and PC. I say it is a definate must-buy, but if you don’t believe me, or want a more-extensive review, check out The All-New Game Show‘s review of the game. Also check them out at thestream.tv, if you want more.. and you know you want more. (When I said I was pimping stuff out, I meant it.) (Also, if you catch the replay of The All-New Game Show for this week, which should be up on YouTube by like Monday.. they mention a viewer’s response for this game.. that response, came from my Twitter account)

DRIVER: SAN FRANCISCO

This game takes place a mere six months after Driv3r, and reveals that both John Tanner and Charles Jericho survived Istanbul, but will they both survive the streets of San Fran? (Again, not revealing story details if I can help it).

You play the role of John Tanner.. actually you don’t for most of the game, for you see, Tanner has the ability to enter the bodies of other people. Now I don’t mean in a possessed kinda way. I mean in the way that the person looks and sounds the same, but they have Tanner’s persona.. if that makes sense. There’s plenty of other activities and dares, besides the main mission, so there’s plenty of things to see and do. However, the vehicles drive in a very arcadey fashion, which annoys people like me, who prerfers the simulation of Forza to the more arcade style. With that saying though, I enjoyed it. It reminded me of Test Deive: Unlimited 2 in the open-world driving kinda-sense, so if you like those kind of games, give it a whirl.

MADDEN NFL 12

The best way to describe Madden 12, is that.. it’s Madden. You know what you’re gonna get each and every year. However, this year.. is just a little different. The good side is, all the fun and action of pre-game is here, from the player intros, to real-life stadiums. The bad news.. Commentary. The commentary is awesome.. for those with Alzheimer’s. For instance, being the Atlanta Falcons that I am, I started up a Franchise mode as them, and low and behold, the commentators talk about how Roddy White is awesome. The next game, they talk about how Roddy White is awesome. This goes on EVERY SINGLE GAME. You always have the same player to watch, and they always say the same thing about them, and another thing.. how is Matt Ryan my star performer, when he’s thrown for 72 yards and a pick, when Michael Turner has run for like 150 yards already and two touchdowns, on his way to a third? You do not make sense Madden, you do not make sense.

Overall, unless you want to play Madden with updated squads, you buy Madden every year, or you didnt get Madden 11 like me.. pass on this game. Don’t even rent it. Although, if you do play this game, play it on mute, and be ready for the commentary to go completely out of whack.

There you go, if you want more game reviews, then either comment below, or twitter me @ThatDamnDoubleC. If you’re a fan of video games, or other nerdy/geeky material or just looking for that cool thing on the internet everyone’s watching, then check out thestream.tv.

The post The War On.. Video Game o-Mania, and Pimping Out Stuff You Should Be Following appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Whilst travelling through the depths of the Attitude era, I noticed something that proves that one of the biggest wrestlers of the modern era, has been living a lie for several years. For those new to the game, Triple H has called himself the King Of Kings for years. He was calling himself that when I was a fan, and I’m quite positive he still does, (I’m sure someone will tell me if he doesn’t these days). However, Triple H is in fact NOT the King Of Kings.

On the June 29, 1998 edition of WWF Raw Is War, a special ‘King Of Kings’ match, between former King Of The Ring winners Triple H and Owen Hart, and current King Of The Ring Ken Shamrock, took place.

As the following video proof shows (It’s just at the start of the Warzone, 7:30 into the first video to get there exactly), it was Ken Shamrock, not Triple H, who won the match. Thus proving that Triple H is not the King Of Kings, and has been living a lie since whichever WrestleMania he was, where he faced John Cena.

And that’s a random wrestling fact that you wouldn’t of known about.

The post The War On.. And Now, A Random Wrestling Fact That You Wouldn’t Of Known About appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Cue the opening

Hello! Your hair looks nice. Is that new perfume? It smells good on you. But now that I’ve been all fun loving and Christian, let’s get back to the nasty stuff. I feel obliged to pass on a message from an old friend of BWF, about hacking. The hackees in question, apparently have been going for PayPal, Facebook, and anything else which can use your Windows Live IDs. With that said, take all the necessary precautions, and change passwords, remove credit card details etc. because if you don’t, then expect people to spend your money on random shit you don’t need, as opposed to you spending your money on shit you don’t need.

Click here to be Rick Roll’d, or will you be Rick Roll’d if you click here. There’s only one way to find out.

This next paragraph,as I have no idea how to start this particular paragraph, is about the UFC’s bid, to purchase the television network, G4, off of NBC Universal, thus allowing them  have their own channel pretty much. This would be a significant move for the UFC, allowing them free reign overwhat they show on TV, and also, they don’t have to deal with Spike TV anymore, and does anybody with any inkling of a brain want to deal with Spike TV? This would be a good move for the E as well, as they can look at how the UFC does things, and learn from it, when they venture out into their own television station. What remains to be seen, is whether G4’s original programming would stay, or whether the channel that claims they’re ‘TV that’s plugged in’, becomes more ultimate, than plugged. Also, if the UFC do buy G4 from NBC Universal, I hope nothing happens to G4TV.com, because it’s the only place I go to for my video game news, and I don’t want to start looking elsewhere. Stay tuned for Part Two.. coming up!

Cue the Opening

We begin with a reminiscing if you will, and as I stated at the top of the column, I have re-discovered my enjoyment for those words Is, Raw and War, and again, not in that particular order. This doesn’t mean that I’ll be jumping back on the wrestling train, watching every week like the rest of you. It just means I’m enjoying wrestling, when it was actually decent programming. When there was actually a reason to watch. When the characters you watched each week, were either so over the top bad it was funny, so degenerating that they made even dick jokes entertaining, and so controversial, that there was an all-coloured stable, porn stars and pimps, a rebel with a cause who became a role model for thousands, a demented/crazed/hippie who were all the same person, but three people at the same time, and of course, Marc Mero. I grew up in the Attitude era, DX was the group, Stone Cold was the one you wanted to be, and Sunny was the one you wanted to bed. Now of course, there isn’t a group, here’s no-one you want to be, and there’s no-one you want to bed. Unless of course, you are Drowgoddess, because she secretly wants to bed Kelly Kelly. (Watch me get in trouble for that one. Actually, I don’t care, she probably won’t even read it. In fact, I don’t reckon anybody will.)

It’s almost like,  it never really left my system. I mean, I cannot watch it today, I see glimpses when other people in the house watch it, or what not, and I pick straight away what is going to happens. It’s too predictable, too kiddish, and too rubbish. It’s almost like you expect Dora The Explorer to debut any week now, and that was 18 months ago I last watched. I’d hate to see what it is now.. maybe Dora the Explorer is WWE Champion by now. But anyway, back to 1998.It’s just been good to go back to the place that time forgot, and remember the good old days again. Will it re-kindle the desire to watch wrestling again? No. Will it re-kindle the need to tell dick jokes, and carry on like I have some kind of attitude? That never left.

Finally, a note about the roundtable posted earlier that involves three Americans, a Canadians, and a partridge in a pear tree. Although, it was amazing for David Cassidy to appear. The surprises you get from listening to a BWF roundtable. Anyway, it was mentioned about a trade, in which, yours truly, traded away the Triumvirate of TN-Awesomeness (Joe, JT, Drow), to the San Jose Sharks. Now for the two people who read my column last time, I mentioned that I traded them for Bill Guerin. As I have indeed found the trades in question, let me confirm/deny everything. The first of two trades I made, consisted of then Triumvirate of TN-Awesomeness members Joe, JT and Fritz, was signed by Total Nonstop Action, to be participants of the then ‘Off The Wagon’ challenge. However, that trade was quickly null and void, as it was found out that Drow was the third member of the rather long name starting with T and not Fritz, or Hulk Hogan, as some expected, and they were quickly sent to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for now Buffalo Sabre, Christian Ehrhoff. Jellybeans and various porn magazines were also exchanged in the deal. Where I was confused, was that the deal was originally meant to be for Bill Guerin, but according to Wikipedia, he had already lost the will to live, and was already traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for QB Matt Cassel.

I could leave you being Dude Roll’d, as opposed to Rick Roll’d, or even D’Lo Roll’d, or the music I play during sex. Instead I’ll leave you, as I mentioned them earlier, the entrance music of the Triumvirate of TN-Awesomeness!

CUE THE OPENING

On tonight’s small-screen sideshow..

The Dallas Mavericks show the world that Darko Milicic has as many Championship rings than Dwayne Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh combined

Exclusive Video of Prince William’s secret tryout with the Buffalo Sabres.

The NFL and NBA go into lockout mode. The NHL sues them for ripping off their ideas.

Vancouver shows the world just how bad of losers they really are after tanking in the Stanley Cup Finals.

and Nintendo’s Wii-U to have the theme music of ‘Buddy Holly‘ by Weezer.. but still won’t be allowed to be parodied by Weird Al Yankovic.

Gee, the eHarmony.com ads have gotten weird..

But, to the reason I’m here.. and surprise surprise, it’s not about wrestling. Even though, and I’ve said it before but it bares repeating for the stupid people, I don’t watch wrestling now, and besides, there’s something more important than that going on right now. If you said the trial of Casey Anthony, then leave. Leave right now and don’t come back for at least fifteen minutes. No, I’m talking hockey, and not movies involving Emilio Estevez or Kurt Russell, I’m talking Free Agency. NHL Free Agency. Rather than go into it in much detail (that’s what Wonderpod Online is for), I will go through who I think got the best deals, and.. the teams to watch for next season.

Time for the new NHL on NBC promo!

First off, the big winner in Free Agency, has to be the New York Hockey Rangers, re-signing wingman Ruslan Fedotenko for the next year. He will only cost $1.4 mil, as opposed to their other signing, the 2004 Lady Byng and Conn Smythe winner, Brad Richards, who was signed from my Dallas Stars on a 9-year, $60m deal. The talent of Richards means it’s a win for whomever has him. However, he was injured for the end of last year, and really hurt our playoff chances, so he’ll come back fresh as a daisy, just in time to lead the Rangers to glory. Typical, we go buy six players, including Stanley Cup winning wingman Michael Ryder, and experienced D-Man Sheldon Souray, and yet, I’d still rather have Richards. Now who’ll lead our first line? Mike Ribeiro? Sure he got 71 points last season, but the only thing Mike Ribeiro is good for, is trade bait on every NHL game. On NHL 11, he and Jamie Benn got me Derek Roy and Thomas Vanek from the Buffalo Sabres, but Vanek was soon traded to the Blackhawks for the much cheaper Patrick Sharp.

I still think the Penguins made the best trade a few years ago when they traded Bill Guerin to the Triumvirate or TN-Awesomeness in exchange for ThinkSoJoe, JT, and DrowGoddess. Working with Bill was awesome, he taught me how to fight when he was at Dallas, I taught him how to write pointless blogs about hockey on wrestling websites.

Also, the Flyers signing Jaromir Jagr? You know what this means don’t you? I have a starting RW for my NHL Fantasy team.

The team to watch for.. the Minnesota Wild. The main reason, is because they have a new feeder team in the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks made the playoffs last year, and with Heatley, Setoguchi, and Charlie Coyle going there. They will be just as good as the Sharks. Sure the Sharks gained Martin Havlat and Brent Burns out of the trade, but at least the Wild didnt get Dustin Byfuglien, or Wade Redden.

Remember ThinkSoJoe, history will be made.

One last note, have you ever wondered how to play just like an NHL Defenceman? Here’s how! (NOTE: This is the funniest video I have seen in a long, long time.)

and on that bombshell, it’s time to end.. with.. the latest cover of the Lonely Island song, as sung by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.

The post The War On.. Small Screen Sideshows appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

*Insert customary ‘Welcome Back Kotter’ link here, and not some mash-up of Ray Parker Jr’s ‘Ghostbusters’ and AC/DC’s Thunder Struck*

In the last episode, there was a poll. However, for keen listeners of the show, they would’ve realized that the poll in question, lead to absolutely nothing. Now, there’s a perfectly good reason for that. For you see, I am no longer a wrestling fan, and before you go on about how this is a wrestling website and only wrestling-related material can be on this website, nobody can remember my columns, or pieces of writing with as many random video links as possible, as they are more known for. I don’t care for the business anymore, nor have I for a long time now, which is why no-one has heard from me in written form anywhere.. until this special occasion.

Oh My God… Michael Bolton..

For you see, when this website was created back in June of 2008, a group of teenagers with attitude, were recruited from the wise-sage Zordon, with help from his robotic assistant, Alpha, to defend Earth from such evil forces as Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. History might have it, that this group of teenagers with attitude, were known as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. However, none of them were in fact teenagers, and rather than defend Earth, they created this website, after sitting around talking to themselves every Thursday night. Then, on the 25th day of the third month of the year 2009 A.D., they found assistance from a wise, young Australian, with the ability to post random video links into various columns and reviews. This is where the Wednesday column started.

Now back to the good part..

For the next 14 months, Wednesdays were taken over by random video links, and rants about everything from wrestling, to Brett Fav-re, to just about anything you can think of, and surprisingly, this piece is no different. For example..

Did anyone tell the Vancouver Canucks that they were playing Game Three of the Stanley Cup finals against the Boston Bruins? The Bruins ran through them like they were standing still.. besides Aaron Rome, who decided to get himself suspended for the remainder of the series, due to taking out Nathan Horton behind the puck. For those who missed Game Three.. Boston won 8-1, there was 115 minutes of penalties, and the only way I can describe it, is that if the Bruins play that physical for the rest of the series, Lord Stanley will be paraded in Boston after Game Six.

Keira Knightley.. Jack Sparrow..

I hate the Miami Heat. I’m not a fan of LeBron James, not a fan of Dwayne Wade, not a fan of Chris Bosh.. and I feel bad for Mike Miller, whom I do like, because he’s in that team. I hope that the Mavericks can win the Title. Not only to see Mark Cuban go nuts, but so that Darko Milicic will continue to have more Championship rings, than LeBron.

Davy Jones.. Giant Squid..

Nintendo announced their new console, the WiiU. Is it just me..or does WiiU sound like some kind of alarm going off? WiiU WiiU WiiU WiiU. Anything even associated with the Wii will always be a gimmick in my eyes. This product is meant to compete against the Sony PS3 and the Xbox 360.. and yet, it’s just another attempt at innovation by Nintendo. Why couldn’t there be a sequel to the GameCube? Why does Sony’s new handheld console, ‘the Vita’ sound like it’s a brand of orange juice, as opposed to a gaming device? Why can’t SEGA bring out another console, and bring me another Alex Kidd game so that I can be truly happy? I miss games like Alex Kidd in Miracle World and Alex Kidd in Shinobi World.. I really do.

Well, that is about it, for this piece. I thank Joe, JT and Drow, for allowing me to not only enter their conversations on Thursday nights, but allowing me to rant about whatever the hell I feel like. To everyone else who has ever contributed to BWF, sorry, but I’ve forgotten everyone who has, but thank you anyway. To all the twitter followers of the place, I don’t have a Twitter, nor do I want to have one. I do however, have a butterfly.

But everyone should follow this place, so that when you next check it, you will realize, that for one day only.. you will wonder what the hell happened to that wrestling site you once know and loved, and who put this idiot here with all this non-wrestling coco jamboo instead. Also, my regards to Ben Stein, Sara Rue and Brody Stevens, we might fit them in another column somewhere. Maybe? Probably not.

And on that bombshell, it’s time to end with this.. powerslide.

The post It’s All New, Except For The Content appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Shawn Michaels was THE guy for me. Not Hulk Hogan. Not Ric Flair. Not even Steve Austin. But Shawn Michaels. He was that one guy growing up, that I knew would be my favourite, and that every time I heard ‘Sexy Boy’, I knew something fun and exciting was about to happen. Whether he was with Diesel, or D-Generation X. I was always entertained, and amazed, by HBK.

My…worship, of Shawn Michaels didnt just resort to the television. There were two video games in particular. WWF Steel Cage Challenge for the SEGA Master System, and WWF Royal Rumble for the Genesis. I don’t know how many times Shawn Michaels won the WWF Championship on these games, and it didn’t matter who else was on them, I was always the one character.

Everyone has that one person in the world that they idolize, that they worship. Whether it’s a family member, or a sportsman, or maybe someone in your favored profession? For me, besides family. There is only one idol. Shawn Michaels in my eyes, was someone who could do no wrong, even when he was the baddest. There was nothing he couldn’t do, in and out of the ring. He was brash, cocky, always so confident in his own ability, that he didnt even think of how good the other person was. In DX, he was cool. With Triple H, D-Generation X single-handedly fueled my love for the wrestling business. Partly for their attitude and behaviour towards everyone, but mostly, because Shawn Michaels was involved.

To this day, I still get giddy inside, whenever I see Shawn Michaels, or hear that ‘Sexy Boy’ theme. To watch his last match in 1998, before taking four years off. To that speech in 1997 about losing his smile. With all the returns and great moments that Shawn Michaels has had, nothing… nothing, has given me the same feeling that the end of WrestleMania XXVI gave me. I found it hard to move, hard to type, hard to do anything. It was like Pittsburgh fans watching Mario Lemieux’s last game, or Chicago Bulls fans watching Michael Jordan sink that final shot. You hoped it would never end, and when it did, you just didn’t know how to react. That’s how I felt about Shawn Michaels.

In my opinion, he will always be the greatest performer, and the greatest superstar in the history of wrestling. There will be no-one, who comes close to Shawn Michaels. There will be no-one, who comes close to winning me over, and making me a fan for life. The business may not be the same as it was, but I will always the great matches, and memories, that Shawn Michaels gave me. Thank You Shawn. You made this little wrestling fan who he is today.

Tune in, after the turn, for LIVE, unedited, uncensored, and Pro-HBK coverage of WrestleMania XXVI. Oh, and a quick note for Jack Korpela. Why do you have a job?

In the Pre-Show I get here, we have Jack Korpela and Scott Stanford. I have no idea who Stanford is, and Korpela is the usual Pre-Show host for Pay-Per-View events in these parts. The Pre-Match was a Battle Royal, containing Superstars that do not have a match on the card. The participants were: Yoshi Tatsu, Mark Henry, Cryme Tyme, Goldust, Santino Marella, Primo, Funaki, Jimmy Yang, Slam Master J, Chris Masters , Kozlov, Finlay, William Regal, Luke Gallows, Carlito, Tyler Reks, Zach Ryder, Vance Archer, Mike Knox, Croft and Baretta, The Hart Dynasty and the Great Khali.

Yoshi Tatsu came out victorious.

In the words of Michael Buffer… Are You Ready? In the words of Triple H… I said, Are You Ready?

Welcome to WrestleMania XXVI, LIVE from the University of Phoenix Stadium, in Phoenix, Arizona. As some fighter jets fly by, Fantasia sings ‘America The Beautiful’. Fantasia? She looks nothing like Mickey Mouse.

The promo video for WrestleMania XXVI plays. Great video. Ah yes, good old Slim Jim, sponsoring another WWE Pay-Per-View. A touch of old school in that.

Michael Cole,Jerry ‘the King’ Lawler and Matt Striker provide commentary for the event. Sad to see J.R. not announce. Plus our good old Spanish buddies, Hugo and Savinovich and Carlos Cabrera.

MATCH#1: UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

ShoMiz (Big Show/The Miz) (c) vs. John Morrison/R-Truth

Two former World Champions and two future World Champions to start us off.

Romania get WrestleMania LIVE for the first time… Aren’t they poor in Romania?

I predict ShoMiz to retain, as Morrison and Miz start off. The challengers gain control, until Big Show gets the tag into the match. Show heads to the ropes, looking for a splash, but Morrison knocks him down with a spin kick from the apron. Miz and Morrison back in, as JohnBoy gains the advantage, but misses with Starship Pain, and Show pulls his partner out of the ring, then sends R-Truth to the ring post. Miz looks for the Skull Crushing Finale, but is countered by Morrison into a rollup for a near fall. Big Show makes a blind tag, and KO’s Morrison with that right hand, to gain the victory.

YOUR WINNERS: Big Show and the Miz (1-0 prediction)

The announcers plug the events of the week leading up to WrestleMania, including Fan Axxess, an Art Show, a Reading challenge and a Pro-Am golf tournament.

MATCH#2: Ted DiBiase vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton

Cody’s music is very… generic. The crowd, and one particular friend of mine, goes nuts for Randy Orton. Orton to win here.

It looks to be 2-on-Orton at the early going, and RKO seems to be holding his own, sending Rhodes to the outside. But DiBiase soon gains control, and the Legacy beatdown begins. Is it just me, or does Cody Rhodes look skinnier than usual? The Randall beatdown continues, until a whip to the corner, triggers a fight back. This lasts all of five seconds, when a DiBiase clothesline knocks the Viper down. Here’s where the handicap aspect goes down, as a pinfall attempt by DiBiase, is broken up by Rhodes. Cody then goes for the pin himself, and DiBiase breaks it up. The two Legacy members start brawling, as Randy gets to his feet, and gains total momentum. Powerslam on DiBiase, Back Breaker to Rhodes. The crowd wants an RKO, but DiBiase grabs Orton’s legs, and sends him to the outside. Rhodes looks for an attack, but Orton moves, and Cody lands on Teddy.

DiBiase tries to enter the ring. Rhodes tries to enter the ring. Both are stopped by Randy, who hits his mid-rope DDT on both opponents at the same time. Ortn looks to RKO Rhodes, but backs away and hesitates. This leads to Randy Orton Scott Norwood-ing Cody’s head. DiBiase from behind, and locks in Dream Street, but Orton counters into the RKO, and gets the three.

YOUR WINNER: Randy Orton (2-0 Prediction)

WWE Superstars tell us to Don’t Try This At Home… They’re talking about Real-Timing WrestleMania

Josh Matthews builds it up like he’s interviewing Shawn Michaels, but instead it’s Vickie Guerrero and her team or two-dollar skanks. The twenty dollars is for Maryse. I expect change from the rest. Jillian Hall does her best Tina Turner, and everyone leaves, only for Santino Marella to arrive and plug Slim Jim, where anything can happen if you bite into one. He takes a bite, and Jillian turns into Mae Young. A second bite, and it’s ‘Mean’ Gene in a dress… a third bite, gets Santino Melina, and he seems happy. Happy with a Jack O’ Melina? Beggars can’t be choosers.

MATCH#3: MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH

Kofi Kingston vs. MVP vs. Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger (in his best Kurt Angle get-up) vs. Shelton Benjamin (the only man to compete in every MITB match so far) vs. Matt Hardy vs. Dolph Ziggler (wait, Mark Wahlberg’s in this match?) vs. Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre (coming out to Ziggler’s music for some reason) vs. Kane (I wish the lights would go out for Kane’s entrance again) vs. Christian (Has competed in three different types of Ladder matches at WrestleMania. Triangle Ladder, TLC, MITBx3)

My prediction… Christian. Why not?

This match has the potential to be one big clusterfuck, with all these people in the ring.

McIntyre goes a-climbing, only to be sent off by Hardy. Everyone tries to climb the ladder, and it ends with Kane giving Bourne a chokeslam, and Kingston knocking Hardy and Swagger off the ladder. Christian starts to climb, but it’s Ziggler who sends him off. Dolph Lundgren starts to climb, but MVP stops that.MVP, Shelton and Kofi try to take out Kane with the ladder, but it’s an MVP Big Boot that does the job. Shelton his PayDirt on MVP, and sends Kofi out, leaving him as the only one in the ring. Swagger pokes him off a ladder, with another ladder. Bourne comes flying at Swagger, as Christian and Hardy sandwich Swagger between one ladder, with two other ladders, as three men start to climb. Christian looks to deliver the Unprettier to Bourne, but Evan counters, and hits Air Bourne on Christian.

Bourne and Hardy now on the ladder. Matt hip tosses Evan off the top, and Swagger joins Hardy. The All-American American back drops the Hardy over one ladder, and onto another one, as Swagger crashes into a ladder as well. MVP and Shelton in the ring now. MVP looks for a Powerbomb, but Benjamin hurricanrana’s MVP over the top rope. Kane now the only man standing, but Ziggler climbs over Kane, to try and get the briefcase, but that doesnt work. Kane takes down Kofi, who tries to enter with a ladder. Then plays Pac-Man with the ladder, with Ziggler as the Pac-Dot. Kingston enters the ring, and hits Trouble In Paradise on Kane, as he picks up the now un-hinged ladder, and uses them as stilts, to climb up. McIntyre comes in, and ruins Kofi’s fun, as he sets up a ladder. Drew gets close, but Matt stops him. Hardy pushes the ladder over, and McIntyre wishbones himself on the top rope.

Matt Hardy goes up, but Kane has another ladder, and Christian uses it to climb up to Hardy’s ladder. Matt and Christian on one side of the two ladders, and Kane on the other. They send the Big Red Machine down, and brawl themselves, with Hardy connecting a Twist Of Fate on Christian off the ladder, and onto the floor. Christian however, is back up, and Swagger tries to stop him. He does this by sending the briefcase into Christian’s face, and after several seconds of trying to unhook it, he finally does meaning Swagger wins.

YOUR WINNER: Jack Swagger (2-1 Prediction)

MATCH#4: Sheamus vs. Triple H

The commentators say that no-one has had a first year like Sheamus. Umm… did they forget Kurt Angle’s first year?

Trips gets the typical Trips pop. The entrance gets a huge pop, everything else, not so much.

My prediction… I cannot pick against Triple H. I just cannot, it’s not in my blood to pick against him.

Sheamus with nowhere near enough baby oil on, versus Triple H, the man with way too much baby oil on. The Game tries to catch Sheamus off guard with a Pedigree, but Sheamus is able to escape. Hunter with a suplex, followed by a crotch chop and a knee, bringing him a near fall. Helmsley with a chop block, which leads into the Figure Four Leg Lock, but it’s too close to the ropes, and Sheamus is able to get there without too much hassle. Sheamus rolls to the outside, and baits Hunter, sending the Game into the steps. This allows Sheamus to gain control, with an elbow, followed by a backbreaker… actually, make that two. The Celtic Warrior with knees to the head of the game, and takes control.

Triple H tries to fight back, but Sheamus connects with an Ax Handle, and gets a near fall. Sheamus with several punches to the head, and it brings another near fall. The Irishman connects with a PowerSlam, and a third near fall, before applying an arm lock, then switching to a Sleeper hold. HHH counters the hold into a back drop, and the sides look even once again. Helmsley with a few kicks in the corner, then counters Sheamus into a DDT. Hunter with punches, but ducks the head. Sheamus looks to counter, but he runs into a High Knee. Trips with a Facebuster, bringing him a near fall. The Game looks for the Pedigree, and Sheamus counters, so Helmsley counters a Sheamus attack into a neck breaker for a near fall.

Trips with punches in the corner, but Sheamus counters into the Razor’s Edghe, but Hunter counters into a Pedigree, and Sheamus counters that into the Big Boot, and Helmsley kicks out!! Sheamus channels Razor Ramon again, but HHH counters into a SpineBuster for a near fall. Sheamus connects with two boots to the head of the Game, and Sheamus thinks he has control, but The Game is playing possum, and hits the Pedigree for the victory.

YOUR WINNER: Triple H (3-1 Prediction)

Helmsley gets an ovation from the crowd, and an Edge Slim Jim commercial plays.

Mysterio misses with the Frog Splash, and it leads to a near fall by Punk. CM Punk with a high knee in the corner, and then looks to attack, but Rey counters into an Arm Drag, setting Punk up for the 619. Serena gets in the way and stops the move. Gallows gets up on the other side, distracting Rey Rey, and Punk looks for the GTS. Mysterio counters with a Hurracanrana, and Punk crashes into Gallows, sending him flying, and allowing Mysterio to hit the 619 on Punk, and get the fall.

YOUR WINNER: Rey Mysterio (4-1 predcition)

We go straight to the promo video for Hart/McMahon.

MATCH#6: NO HOLDS BARRED

Vince McMahon vs. Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart

I wonder who’s gonna win… Bret. Easily.

Hart’s last two WM Matches, was the epic Submission match against Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13, and the Iron Man match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XII. No pressure or anything, Hitman.

Enter the McMahon. Vince McMahon. Notice how I didn’t write Mr. McMahon? That’s because I don’t want to. Vinnie Mac is on the mic. Vince says that Bret deserves a WrestleMania-sized screwing. Vinnie bought himself some Lumberjacks. The Hart Dynasty? The entire Hart family are now Lumberjacks for this match. I think Vince has spent his money a little too rashly. Striker loves this, Cole does not.Bruce Hart is Special Referee for this one.

Bret wonders if they all agreed to help Vince screw Bret. Bret Hart sees a double cross. Bret Hart knows a double cross. The Harts rang Bret and told him what was going on. The match finally begins.

Hart with right hands, before raking Vince against the ropes. Hitman stomps a mudhole in Vince in the corner, and McMahon rolls outside, right to the Hart Dynasty, who continue the beatdown on the outside.

“Best luck in your future endeavors, Natalya” – Matt Striker

DH and Tyson Kidd connect with the Hart Attack on the outside, with Kidd flying off the top rope. Bret now has Vince back in the ring, and the Hitman works on the leg of the Chairman. Vince tries to escape under the ring, but that doesn’t work, as the LumberHarts send Vinnie Mac back into the ring. Vince tries to strike Hart with a crowbar, but it ends up backfiring, as Bret introduces Vince to it. This match is as slow as I expected, as the Hitman looks to apply the Sharpshooter, but instead, Bret grabs the crowbar off of Tyson Kidd, and continues the attack.

Vince begs for mercy, as Bret teases the Sharpshooter again, before delivering a Low Blow. Hart lays the boots into Vince, as DH Smith hands the Hitman a chair. He decides to sit down, and take a time out, and let Vince get to his feet. Bret uses the chair, and full-on creams Vince with the chair, on two separate occasions. Hart just swings that chair as hard as he can, decimating McMahon with every blow. Hart then becomes more precise with the chair, working on the legs, weakening them for the Sharpshooter. The LumberHarts bang on the apron, cheering, for the Sharpshooter, and the Hitman locks it in, and Vince taps very, very quickly.

YOUR WINNER: Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart (5-1 Prediction)

“After 13 long years, Bret Hart spits in the face of Montreal.” – Michael Cole. He seriously said that.

The Hart Family celebrates in the ring together, as referees come to check on Vince.

Cole, Lawler and Striker reveal the location for WrestleMania XXVII… April 3, 2011, will be held in… Atlanta, GA. Whether or not it’s Badstreet, Atlanta, GA, has not been revealed yet.

MAIN EVENT: STREAK vs. CAREER

WIN BY PINFALL OR SUBMISSION ONLY

Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels

The stipulation means that anything can happen, and anything goes. Will it be as big as last year’s masterpiece? Stay tuned, to find out!!

Prediction… I picked him last year, and I’ll do it again. Shawn Michaels. The young wrestling fan inside fan, won’t allow me to go any other way.

The Undertaker’s entrance… WOW! Just WOW! Rising up from the entrance way, wearing what could be described, as a modern look at what he used to wear, with the hood, the whole thing.

Let the match begin…

Undertaker goes the quick attack, but Michaels avoids it. This match is fast paced early. Michaels does his patented flip on the turnbuckle, and Taker hits snake eyes. Undertaker tries to go Old School, but HBK blocks it. Taker tries again, and connects with it this time. Shawn counters a chokeslam attempt, but the Undertaker still has control. Taker looking for a Tombstone, but HBK gets out of the hold, and tries to work on the arm and shoulder. Michaels gets out of an Undertaker attack, and looks for Sweet Chin Music, but the Deadman avoids it.

Michaels begins work on the knee of the Undertaker. The Deadman gets out, and clotheslines Michaels over the top. Back in the ring, and Shawn delivers a block to the knee, before looking for the Figure Four. Taker powers out, and sends HBK to the outside. Undertaker introduces the back of the Heartbreak Kid to the ring post, then hangs Michaels’ over the apron, then delivers a Leg Drop. ‘Taker enters the ring, and Michaels tackles him down, and applies the Figure Four. Undertaker is almost pinned, and this triggers a burst of power, turning the hold over, and putting the pressure on HBK, even if it was for just a second.

The two men trade shots, until HBK is able to get in his flying elbow. Michaels’ kips up, right into a chokeslam by the Undertaker, and it brings the Phenom a near fall. Shanw counters the Undertaker, and locks in the Ankle Lock, in the exact same way Kurt Angle locks it in. Undertaker kicks out of the hold, as both men struggle to their feet.

The Deadman looks to send Shawn Michaels on his Last Ride, and it looks like Michaels counters, and gets a near fall. Shawn to the top rope, and the Undertaker gets his knees up at the Macho Man elbow attempt. Both men down again, and Undertaker applies Hell’s Gate, only for HBK to counter it into a pin attempt and a near fall.

Shawn Michaels, from absolutely nowhere, nails Undertaker with Sweet Chin Music!! 1…..2…..KICKOUT!!! Undertaker kicks out!! Shawn looks for Sweet Chin Music again, but Undertaker blocks it, and nails the Last Ride!! 1…..2…KICKOUT!! Michaels kicks out. The Deadman thrown HBK outside, as Undertaker strips apart the Spanish announce table. How more old school can you get?

Undertaker looks to finish off HBK with a Tombstone Piledriver, and he connects! 1…….2…..KICKOUT!!! Oh My God!! Shawn Michaels just kicked out of the Tombstone.

Undertaker drops the straps, looking for one last Tombstone Piledriver. He goes to cut the throat, but hesitates, as Michaels pulls himself up. Undertaker tells him to stay down, but Shawn cuts his throat, intimidating the Undertaker, then he slaps him in the face! Undertaker then delivers a jumping Tombstone Piledriver, and gets the three.

YOUR WINNER: The Undertaker (7-3 prediction)

In all honestly, as Undertaker makes it 18-0 at WrestleMania, my body has just gone into a state of shock. I grew up a Shawn Michaels fan. If it wasnt for Shawn Michaels, I dont know if’ I’d be a wrestling fan, and to sit here, and watch and recap Shawn Michaels’ last match, if it is indeed his last match, then… I can’t describe it, I’m still in shock. I’ll try and recover myself to finish off this recap.

Post-Match, Undertaker picks Shawn Michaels up, the crowd chants ‘Thank You, Shawn’, and the Undertaker shakes his hand. The Deadman leaves the ring, allowing Shawn Michaels to have the moment. Shawn salutes, and thanks the fans by blowing kisses. He thanks the Lord, and continues to thank the fans, shaking hands as he walks up the ramp way. The crowd do nothing but applaud, as Shawn Michaels signals to the heavens one last time.

OVERALL: Being able to watch Shawn Michaels’ last match, is something that will stay with me as long as I am a wrestling fan. In wrestling terms, Shawn Michaels was it. Not Hogan, Not Flair, Not Austin. But Shawn. The Main Event alone, is worth the money. But, Batista and John Cena put on a very good match. Otherwise, it just seemed to slow for the majority.

Thanks to all who watched, read, or will read in the future. I’ll be back…

The post WrestleMania XXVI – LIVE and in living colour. appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

We begin with a promo for Bret Hart, ending with the comments made between Vince and Shawn last week, in which ‘only good things will happen’.

Enter the Hitman… to new music. It sounds the same, but it’s got more of a rock feel to it.

“I guess Hell’s frozen over” – Bret Hart

The Hitman talks about why he has came back, and thanks the fans for still supporting him. He flashbacks to his past, and then gets right down to the nitty gritty. Bret Hart calls out Shawn Michaels.

Enter the Michaels.

Hart wants a truce between himself and HBK. Shawn decides to let rip on the Hitman, stating that he deserved what he got that night, and that he did have a part in the actions of that fateful night in Montreal. Shawn says that there are parts of him that doesn’t want to forgive him. He then goes on to say, that whenever he thinks of Bret Hart, he doesn’t think of Montreal, he thinks of Anaheim, California, and the 60-minute Iron match (his words, not mine).  Michaels agrees with Bret, that he wants to bury the hatchet.

Hart says that Michaels wasn’t the easiest man to get along with, but says that now, he doesn’t want either career to be remembered for that night. Bret offers his hand, Shawn shakes it, and the truce is made. They finish with a hug, and that moment right there, is a moment I will never forget.

However, Bret’s not done. Hart calls out… Vince McMahon!! However, Vince doesn’t show.

But Vince has his own security, and tells Randy to bugger off. Enter the Legacy. DiBiase and Rhodes want to repay the favour, from last week, by sitting ringside during Orton’s match with Kofi Kingston. Oh, and if Randy doesn’t win, they’re gonna throw him outta Legacy!

Find out (maybe), after the break!

TNA Genesis just got advertised during a RAW commercial. Somebody’s getting fired.

Next Week’s Guest Host… ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson!

Recap of last week’s title match between John Cena and Sheamus.

Enter the Sheamus.  He says he’s the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Does he not remember who the Guest Host is? Anyways, enter the… Bourne?

He wants a title shot, and thinks he can beat the Champion? HA! Sheamus calls him Little Evan Bourne, and asks for a referee.

If Bourne can beat Sheamus, then Evan Bourne gets a WWE Title shot at the Rumble? WTF?

MATCH #4: Sheamus vs. Evan Bourne

This match is impromptu, and if Bourne wins, he gets Sheamus at the Rumble for the title. You gotta be f**king kidding me right?

Even though Evan hits his ‘Air Bourne’, it doesn’t take long for Sheamus to win.

YOUR WINNER: Sheamus.

Sorry Evan, no title shot for you.

Cole and King, then talk about the life of ‘Dr. Death’ Steve Williams, who passed away after a long battle with throat cancer. He will be missed.

I’ll be right back.

Return to the misery, in which this is the first RAW I’ve watched in five months. No kidding. A Bret Hart promo video plays, showing the build-up, and the aftermath of the Survivor Series of 1997.

Kofi comes to the ring for his match, as it’s now…

Commercial time!

RAW was watched more than ABC, CW, NBC and FOX last week. Why do I have trouble believing that?

MATCH #5: Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton

Kofi in control early, clotheslining Randy over the top, then jumping over the ropes, and nailing Orton on the outside. Randall tries figbhting back, with a DDT in the ring, but that doesn’t work, and Kingston sends him to the outside again. Guess what’s next? Yep, you guessed it.

Back to the Chinlock of Doom!, but Kofi gets out of it, and both men are down. Kofi Kingston in control now, as the crowd doesn’t really care much for Kofi. Kingston nails Randall with a cross boyd, but it only brings him two. Kofi counters the RKO, into a fancy looking move, for another near fall.

Kingston looks to finish it with Trouble In Paradise, but Orton counters it into the RKO, and the three count.

YOUR WINNER: Randy Orton

Vince is going to the ring, tune in for it, NEXT!

COMMERCIAL!

Enter McMahon…I have a feeling, this is going to be HUGE!

Vince is trying to get the focus off of Montreal, however, it doesn’t take long for the Hitman to arrive. McMahon seems scared of Bret, as he brings back memories of the past between the two. Vince is trying to kiss Bret’s ass, in order to not get dropped.

Did he just say “I want to bring up your dead”? Anyways, Vince brings a nice gesture, by wanting to put Stu Hart in the WWE Hall Of Fame. Bret accepts, nice touch.

McMahon now thanks Bret for everything he did during his time in the company. Hart shakes McMahon’s hand, and the two stand, arms raised, in the middle of the ring, and just when it looks like things end on a good note, Vinnie Mac gives Bret the ol’ Low Blow, and leaves the ring.  Bret stands annoyed in the ring, and that’s all she wrote.

For those who watched that other wrestling show tonight, you sure as hell missed something tonight. Tonight wasn’t about the action. It was about Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon. Hart and Michaels buried the hatchet, and Vince just couldn’t bury it. The Road to WrestleMania begins. Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon in Phoenix.

That’s it for RAW! This has been the one they call ‘Legend Killer’.

The post The War On… Monday Night RAW appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

There is no column for week, so this is the last time you will hear from me in 2009.

This piece would be a.. best of, so to speak. A year in review, if you will. However, with my new year’s plans, becoming reality in… 11 hours from now, and with preparation and packing underway as I type, I just don’t have the time, to write a massive piece.

However, and this I promise, the first column, typed from my fingers, thought of from my mind, will be right here, at BoredWrestlingFan.com, that I will guarantee.

Now, I leave you with the thought, that if Brett Favre didn’t exist. I would be odds-on to win my NFL Fantasy League. However, I’m now playing for third place.

Peace out my peeps, see you in 2010.

The post The War on… 2009 appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

First of all, I’m writing this on three hours sleep after pre-christmas drinks, so I’m as tired as tired can be.

The WWE boycott is running loud and proud at about five months. In all honesty, I have completely lost track of how long I haven’t watched. All I know is that the last thing I watched, was Shaq guest hosting RAW. That’s how long ago it’s been since I last watched, and to be honest, I don’t miss it. Now that I am in the process of receiving every WWF RAW and SmackDown! from 1998 and 1999. Oh, The good ol’ days.

Christmas is too expensive. Especially when buying presents for yourself.

If you want to buy me something for christmas, give me money. Money is always a wanted christmas present in my books.

D-Generation X. Destroying their legacy one stupid unfunny skit at a time. Remember when they made christmas time fun? Here’s the longer, but censored version. Censored, because they are soft.

Instead, we get stuff like this…

Anyways, a short, but sweet War on Christmas, is proudly brought to you by a rather tired Legend Killer. That means, I’m ending this way too early. No time to talk about Hulk Hogan signing with TNA. No time to talk about Bret Hart signing with WWE. No time to talk about Tommy Dreamer’s departure from ECW. Just no time for that. Blame pre-Christmas drinks, and my ability to not sleep during any decent drinking session.

However, this is time to give you, last second advice, on what to buy the rest of the BWF staff. No screwjobs here, folks. Although, the aftermath of one can be seen here, here aaaaaaaaand … … … … here.

A tip for Drow. I wouldn’t just give her the tip, I’d give her the whole damn thing.

For Joe. Beard trimmers.

For JT. A cardboard cut-out of Velvet Sky.

For tharvey1. A capital ‘T’ for his name.

For Jason. A friend to watch ECW with.

For everyone else, there’s MasterCard.

From myself, and the rest of the crew that help me in my war, I’d like to wish all of you the best this holiday season, and hope that you all get coal, or doggy doo, or stuff of that nature in your presents. Tune in next week for the special New Year’s edition. The only place to start your New Year’s party, is right here at BoredWrestlingFan.com… oh, except that other place… you know the one.

What the hell happened to the St. Louis Rams? I was watching their game against Tennessee earlier, and I knew that the Titans were going to win, and that Chris Johnson was going to run all over them, but I didn’t know a team, could be that bad. Sure, they had to bring in their third-string rookie quarterback in at the last minute, but even with Marc Bulger, I still think the Rams would’ve sucked as much as they did.

It surprised me, when I heard that Steven Jackson, Rams Running Back, had the second highest amount of rushing yards in the year, when, judging by this game, they barely had an offensive line. The O Line only conceded one sack, but Jackson only got 47 yards, on 19 carries. 47 yards! That’s 2.5 yards per carry. Chris Johnson on the other hand, averaged 4.2 yards per carry, in gaining 117 yards and scoring two rushing touchdowns.

The St. Louis Rams are the worst team in the NFL. Worse than Tampa, worse than Cleveland, even worse than Detroit. They are that bad. The only good thing they have going for them, is Johnny Ace’s boy, James Laurinaitis. He looks to be a great linebacker.

To view the rest of the column, survive the opening video.

TNA had a PPV this past week called Turning Point, and strangely enough, it included no wrestling of any kind in the entire three-hour event. I’ve managed to find just a small sample of the event in question, and I have to say, if this is what Hogan and Bischoff vision TNA to be like, I think it could last. It’s more entertaining I’ve seen on WWE TV in the past year.

Also, with their new PPV format, the meaning of why the majority of their events are named after things relating to Phil Collins has finally been realized, and with Genesis and Against All Odds coming up in the next three months, one gets the strangest feeling that Kurt Angle is going to be belting out a tune, just as badly as some of his previous efforts.

I mentioned Phil Collins in the previous paragraph, and it got me thinking. Rather than talk about the complete rubbish known as the WWE, I’ve decided to challenge myself. Here we go, we start with Genesis, and end with Final Resolution. However, the link, must in some way, fit in with the name of the PPV, and not have any association with wrestling matches or happenings from the PPV.

Twelve PPVs, twelve links, let’s go.

Genesis, Against All Odds, Destination X, Lockdown, Sacrifice, Slammiversary, Victory Road, Hard Justice, No Surrender, Bound For Glory, Turning Point, Final Resolution.

If you think I cheated in anyway, then please be more than willing to leave a comment in the comment section of the column, and I may or may not, depending on whether or not I can be bothered, will reply to said comment/s.

Going outside the wrestling realms, and if you’re a contestant in either Miss USA or Miss Universe, do not film yourself committing sexual acts, as they can and will be used against you. In about the difference a week gives, it has been revealed that Miss USA first runner-up Carrie Prejean, and the 2008  Miss Universe contestant from Trinidad and Tobago, both have sex tapes. Prejean’s has not been released, whereas Miss T&T’s has been leaked, with her, and a ‘very, very good friend’, rumoured to be Miss Japan form the same Miss Universe contest, showing that they are more than willing to take a shot in the mouth to get what they want. Don’t worry kiddies, I provide you with all the links you need. Because if you spy hard enough for them, then you won’t find them here.

Did anyone else notice in the music video for  ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic’s ‘Amish Paradise’, Al has a resemblance to one Stephen Colbert? If you agree, or disagree, then leave a comment, or use Twitter, or Facebook, or wherever else we are. I honestly don’t know, I just write columns.

Random Song Of The Week

That’s it. I’m done. No more random music videos. OK, just one more. But that’s it. Tune in the rest of the week You might enjoy what is provided by the usual suspects. But I promise you, they don’t provide you, the way I provide you.

Tune in after the jump, that’s if, you can make it past the opening video.

First things first, it seems that while I’m gone, TNA President Dixie Carter, thinks it’s ok, to allow Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff, to join TNA. Sure, Hulk Hogan is a household name in the wrestling business, and will tune more people into Spike TV on Thursday nights, but am I the only one who sees this, as a desperate plea, from someone who fired everyone who knew how to run a wrestling business, and did not know anybody else who could, besides these two? Having these two in charge, especially since what happened to the last place they were in charge of, seems a very, very risky move. Putting Captain Vegetable in charge would’ve been a safer bet.

The boycott of WWE programming is still on. Blame Jeremy Piven.

Has anyone noticed, that when you hit the ‘about’ section of this very website, it shows the writing staff of this very website. However, it only includes four of the staff that appear each week. There’s JT, Drow, THarvey and a former United States Senator. But no Jason, who does the ECW reviews, and, most importantly, there is no ME! I am apparently not worthy enough of being credited as a writer or a contributor of this website. This is an abomination. In retaliation, go to this guy’s house, and bombard it with eggs.

I have too many wrestling figures still in their boxes. Everyone from several Triple H’s to the Miz, to a figure of ‘Mean’ Gene Okerlund, they are all stashed away in a wardrobe, because there is literally no room to put them. My scale size Wrestlemania I wrestling ring is on top of said wardrobe, with the parts that hold it up removed, so that it fits properly. As I see the array of loose wrestling figures, the only one that’s broken, is the Diesel one. Isn’t it Ironic, don’t ya think?

Speaking of Alanis Morissette, if you don’t own the Jagged Little Pill album, then you don’t own every great album in the world.

Bret Hart’s book is a good read, although I’m only like an eighth of the way through. You can read it with one hand in your pocket if you wish, although the only person that would do that, is of course, Alanis.

I seem to be talking an awful lot about Alanis Morissette this week ain’t I?

For those who haven’t unlocked all the achievements for the Smackdown! vs. RAW 2010 video game deserve shooting. It’s that easy to get there. Speaking of video games, there have been some famous names trying to sell you games over time. Starting from way back with the game system I grew up loving, the Atari 2600, to the systems of today. Can you think of any game commercials that have involved celebrities? I promise you, that by the time you finish looking through my column, you will learn that Alan Alda and Fergie were in the same commercial for the Atari Home Computer, and much, much more.

Finally, I don’t agree with this guy’s top ten, but I do agree with his #1

Well, that’s all for this week, tune into BoredWrestlingFan.com for your weekly wrestling fix. This has been the one they call Your Legend Killer reminding you that the penis will always come back down to size.

Welcome to the War for another week, I am of course, Chris Cooley, returning from his interrupted vacation, due to that iMPACT review I did a few weeks back. On today’s show… Dammit Joe, you changed the locks without telling me? Just because I wasn’t here, doesn’t mean I was dead. Looks like i’ll have to break into the BWF compound. Which means, there won’t be a column now. There could be one later in the week, if I can get back to my office, otherwise, it’s next week.

This concludes the double-header of iMPACT. I have been the one they call ‘Your Legend Killer’.

The post The War On … Global iMPACT Part Deux appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Cue the Kotter. Join me at the top of the hour.

Welcome to the show they call iMPACT, even though it doesn’t even make an impression. I am the one they call ‘Your Legend Killer’, filling in for Drow. It’s time to Cross The Line!!

No opening, just a promo video for Abyss/Foley, followed by the Monster entering the ring with his friends from home. His friends are thumbtacks. Abyss must be lonely. However, his loneliness doesn’t seem to affect him however, as he challenges Foley to a Monster’s Ball match at Bound For Glory. Enter the Dude.

Cactus enters the ring, and starts talking, before Abyss gets all angry in his face. Mankind called him a cheap knock-off last week. Abyss is a cheap knock-off, of Kane. The mask, the hair. That is Kane. The one in WWE isnt who he says he is. Abyss says he’s Hardcore, and Foley isn’t. Now Foley’s the cheap knock-off, because he’s only half the man he used to be. Technically, he used to be four people, so wouldnt be only be one-quarter of what he once was? Anyways, Foley’s bringing his A Game, whereas Abyss can’t use thumbtacks. Miccles makes Dr. Stevie as referee for the Monster’s Ball. Enter the Richards.

Stevie enters with Daffney (somewhere THE GT is at the very least drooling). Abyss’ mother didn’t love him. Enter the Lauren. Abyss’ apparent girlfriend, or as Stevie says, his ‘twenty dollar a-night street walker’. Daffney low blows Abyss, after he tries to attack Stevie, and between the two former ECW wrestlers, they team up to take out the Monster, until the Blueprint enters to save the day.

To the back, with JB!! He’s with Eric Young. He declares victory against the Main Event Mafia. I declare somebody kill Eric Young. Hernandez isn’t your brother Eric, look at him, he’s Latino, and he’s a different skin colour. Unless your mother sleeps around Mr. Young, then somehow I don’t think he’s your brother.

COMMERCIAL

We return … to the back, with JB!! He’s with Kurt Angle. The World Elite declare they are the biggest force in TNA now. Angle declares a 30,00 hit on EY. You suck, EY! Your gonna die.

MATCH#1: TNA LEGENDS CHAMPIONSHIP

Kevin Nash (c) vs. Hernandez

Peer Pressure? I thought that was only a teenage thing, you’d hear in high school. Enter the Diesel. He shares a birthday with two very famous people. One, is myself. The other? OJ. Yes, Big Sexy, myself, and OJ Simpson.

Kev gains the early advantage, until Hernandez greets Nash to the ring post on the outside, then the barricade. Hernandez starting to dominate his slow opponent, until EY comes down, and takes out Hernandez with a Piledriver. Apparently, Nash owes EY. Probably with an a$$-kicking, but he owes him none-the-less.

Abyss and Matt Morgan look at each other with that awkwardness you get when you are face to face with the girl you’ve liked for so long. They aint gonna be besties. Abyss has no friends. What does Lauren see in him? He wears a mask, and has no friends.

COMMERCIAL

Look, it’s Eric Young, and Kevin Nash. Eric wants to give Nash 60K to help him take out Hernandez. It’s now a triple threat between Young, Hernandez and Nash for the Legends Title at BFG. Hernandez fakes a neck injury, then speaks gibberish on the mic.

MATCH#2: TNA X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

Samoa Joe (c) vs. Amazing Red

Earl Hebner does NOT have a Hitler moustache. Red gets in about two kicks worth of offence, before Samoa Joe eats him like he’s the appetizer. The man who stole Springsteen’s gimmick comes out, and distracts Joe, allowing Red to attack from behind. Joe doesn’t like it when his food plays with him, so he tenderizes it some more. Then he wants to eat Lashley as well. Black Lesnar drills Joe, meanwhile Red is doooown. But Red is up, and with a 450, and a Flip pin later …

YOUR WINNER AND NEW X-DIVISION CHAMPION: Amazing Red

So the skinny guy takes the title, and Joe is left hungry. That’s not good for who Joe sees next. they’re about to lose an arm. At least.

COMMERCIAL

We’re back, and Lauren interviews Amazing Red, which is actually Samoa Joe. Told you Joe would eat him. Joe screams at Lashley.

MATCH#3:

Daniels and Suicide vs. Homicide and ‘Pope’ D’Angelo Dinero

Daniels and Suicide, were once the same person. Strangely enough, so were Homicide and the Pope. Dinero beats down Suicide. I haven’t seen any offence by Suicide yet. Which isnt ironic, because Suicide normally leads to death and non-movement, which would mean, technically, if someone was to commit sexual acts with Suicide, they would be committing an act of Necrophilia. Daniels gets the tag, and finally gives his team offence, until Homicide, breaks up a pin attempt. However, Homicide thinks that Spanish announcer Willie Urbina is a better opponent, than Daniels or Suicide, and starts attacking him. Homicide then screws Daniels out of the match, and gives the victory for Dinero.

YOUR WINNERS: D’Angelo Dinero and Homicide

To the back, with JB!! Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash backstage, wondering why EY is still standing. Nash said it was because he offered more money, then wondered why Kurt didnt offer triple. Angle’s off to talk to Foley.

COMMERCIAL

This picture is 100% not doctored. Here’s the article.

We’re back, with Mike Tenay, Steiner/Booker, British Invasion, Team 3D and BEER MONEY!!!! These four will compete in a Ladder match, to determine the TNA and IWGP Tag Team champions. Booker T does his best impersonation of a monkey. Storm says he’s SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK!, which leads to an all-in brawl. Team 3D want wood. Me and James Storm have the same hat, not the exact same hat, but hats that look exactly the same. Roode lays Book on the table, then climbs the ladder. Sharmell gets in the way, and Rob Terry knocks Roode off. Team 3D take out Rob Terry, then Steiner and Booker send Brother Devon through the table. MEM hold the gold, and the Invasion don’t like that. Then the MEM brawl with the British Invasion and the Invasion hold all the gold.

COMMERCIAL: One of my favourite songs ever!

We return, to Velvet and Madison Rayne. Someone JT is drooling, and another commercial? WTF??

COMMERCIAL

MATCH#4:

Beautiful People (Velvet Sky/Madison Rayne), Alyssa Flash and Traci Brooks vs. TNA KnockOuts Tag Team Champions (Taylor Wilde/Sarita), Christy Hemme and Hamada.

JT, THE GT, and Myself are all rather happy right about now. Just ask them. Nobody loves the Herpes or Hamada. I don’t understand Hamada, but who in their right wrong would want Herpes?

I only just found out this is an elimination match, when Christy got pinned and eliminated. Taylor Wilde’s face and sternum is driven hard into the canvas? No comment. Hamada and Alyssa Flash are brawling outside, and both get counted out. This leaves Taylor and Sarita, against the Beautiful People and Traci. Velvet Sky eliminates Taylor Wilde with a DDT, which leaves Sarita on her own. But Sarita pins Traci, and she gone! One on two, Sarita versus the Beautiful People. Ironically, it will be Taylor and Sarita putting the titles on the line against the Beautiful People. Velvet Sky gets pinned in a Small Package, leaving it one-on-one.

If Shawn Michaels can’t come back from 3-on-1, then why can Sarita. Alyssa Flash returns to distract the referee, as Lacey Von Erich takes out Sarita, for the easy victory for Madison Rayne.

YOUR WINNER: Madison Rayne

Lacey is taller than JB. To the back, in Foley’s office. Angle and Miccles. Angle doesn’t want games. Foley wants games. Scrabble? Monopoly perhaps? How about Pictionary? Burny Burny Cock Cock? No! No Ludo for the Dude, as Foley doesn’ t want games. King Kurt likes that attitude. The Stinger will join us after … yep, you guessed it.

COMMERCIAL

Abyss and Matt Morgan want pain, as Abyss acts likes a school girl, then chants Mick over and over again off-screen, whilst panting. Foley was laying with Abyss’ barbed-wire bat.

Enter Sting. He’s not out here to perform ‘Message In A Bottle’, nor is he accompained by the Police to sing ‘Every Breath You Take’. He’s here to cut a promo on AJ Styles. Sting suffers from Spontaneous Combustion? Then let him explode in the middle of this promo. If Sting doesn’t meet his expectations, then that’s it. He gone.

Enter the Angle? Mr. 90 degrees has something to say. He thinks this show should be ‘the View’ instead. If that’s the case, then who would win? Barbara Walters or Kurt Angle? Neither of them would do the J-O-B? Kurt Angle’s gonna stay in the middle of the ring, until he gets a title shot. Is that gonna be during the matches as well? To Be The Man, You Gotta Beat … Kurt Angle? Thta’s not how it goes. Angle has his facts misconstrued. Kurt calls Sting a has-been, and tells him to retire. Both men get in each other’s face, and that awkwardness of love comes again, until security comes. However, this isnt love, as Kurt wants Sting to tap to the Shamrock Ankle Lock. Enter the Styles to save the day. Kurt wants a title shot, next week, on the three-hour iMPACT! AJ agrees. Kurt/Styles for the Title, next week.

COMMERCIAL

We’re back, in the back, with Lauren, with AJ, who wants to prove his worthyness.

Samoa Joe is off somewhere. probably to commercial.

COMMERCIAL

Enter the MotorCity Machine Guns. They’re doing things Machine Guns style. Their music made Consequences Creed throw up last week. They’re here to debut their new video. As it’s playing, Samoa Joe comes to eat the MotorCity boys, then heads to the ring to call out Lashley, so he can eat him too. Enter the Springsteen. Joe confronts the Boss, and off they brawl. Hellloooooo, Spanish Announce Table. Run Hugo Run!!!! TNA playing a card out of the WWE playbook, as Joe heads up the scaffold, through a Kurt Angle trading card, and puts Lashley through the Spanish table.

COMMERCIAL

We return, with Lashley recovering, then go again …

COMMERCIAL

We return again, with several replays of the Spanish Announce Table disintegrate under the weight of Lashley and Joe. Bobby Lashley is dead. He won’t be missed.

MATCH#5: TNA KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP

ODB (c) vs. Tara

This is the first match in god-knows how long on this show, I had to scroll up, just to see what number match it was. Just think JT, you could be dating the Champion right now.

Women’s matches don’t interest me much. Whether they’re KnockOuts or Divas. Even if Tara is the Triple H of TNA, according to her merchandise. However, it’s Awesome Kong with the Sledgehammer, and she threatens to eat So Cal Val, unless she is given the spider. Kong to play Spider Croquet, but Tara won’t let her, which allows ODB to get the fall.

YOUR WINNER: ODB

Kurt, Miccles and Foley’s invisible friend are ready.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to the music of Foley. No, not that one. Not that either. Keep going. Almost There. Finally.

MAIN EVENT:

Mick Foley w/Dr. Stevie w/Daffney and Kurt Angle vs. Matt Morgan and Abyss

The referee throws out Stevie and Daffney even before Angle’s music plays.

Foley wants none of Abyss, and tags in Angle. Abyss eats Barbed Wire bat, and now Foley wants in. Abyss tries to gain advantage, but Foley stops that, and tags back in Angle. AngleSlam countered by Abyss. Morgan gets the tag, and takes on Angle, until Foley comes in. All four in now, until Abyss clotheslines Angle to the outside. Foley with the sock, no says Abyss as he uses the bat, Morgan with the Carbon Footprint, and that’s a quick Main Event.

YOUR WINNERS: Matt Morgan and Abyss

That’s all for iMPACT this week .. or is it?

Let’s start off with RAW, and Lillian Garcia’s final RAW. I have not seen this episode, nor will I, due to my boycotting of WWE programming.

Actually, that’s it. Infact, it’s going to be it for awhile. I am taking a leave of absence from BWF, so as I can catch up on other projects, and sort out other problems.

Josh Koshcheck vs. Frank Trigg

Tyson Griffin vs. Hermes Franca

MAIN CARD RESULTS

Tyson Griffin vs. Hermes Franca

Franca’s hair is a shade of purple for this fight.

Griffin had more action in the first over Franca in the first round, and stays in control in the second, until Franca grabs ahold of the leg of his opponent. Franca gets free shots in on Griffin, until he let’s go of the leg. Tyson grounds Hermes, pounding away as Franca tries to get in an armbar. Hermes tries one last attempt at a submission, going for the heel, but Griffin has none of it, and the referee stops the fight.

YOUR WINNER: Tyson Griffin via TKO 2nd round

Josh Koshcheck vs Frank Trigg

Trigg gets a few good shots in early, but that’s all he gets, as Koshcheck knocks him to the mat, then nails Frank with four big blows, to cause a ref stoppage.

YOUR WINNER: Josh Koshcheck via TKO 1st round

Martin Kampmann vs. Paul Daley

Kampmann starts with a flurry, but Daley holds his ground, counter punching well. Every time one fires in shots, the other comes straight back with punches of their own. Paul Daley hurts his opponent, and Kampmann stumbles back to the fence. Daley fires punches with both hands, and the ref prematurely ends it.

YOUR WINNER: Paul Daley via TKO 1st round

My coverage showed a replay of the undercard bout between Rafael dos Anjos and Rob Emerson.

Mirko ‘Cro Cop’ Filipovic vs. Junior dos Santos

dos Santos gets the advantage early, pushing Cro Cop back to the cage, but the Croat fights out. Junior fires punches, but none of them land clean, until a right hand, gets through. Junior goes with a flurry of punches. Mirko is game, but ends up with a lump over his right eye. The Croatian shoots for a single, but his opponent back away. Cro Cop goes for clinch, and briefly gets Junior on the ground. The Brazilian is cut over both eyes. Both men get in good clean shots as the first round ends.

We move to Round Two, and Mirko head-kick lands short. Mirko connects a left kick, but dos Santos connects a right hook. Junior charges, and he’s on the attack. Cro Cop shows good defense, but no offence. Cigano lands an uppercut, and Mirko pushes him away, when he gets too close. The Croat misses another high kick, and receives a stiff shot to the mid-section. Both men clinch, and Cro Cop gets a left knee in. Santos gets a knee in of his own, but falls to the ground, as Cro Cop gets a kick in right on his groin protector. The referee gives Cigano five minutes to recover. dos Santos opens up a cut above Cro Cop’s right eye, with a hook, then gets in a body kick before the round ends.

Round Three, and Cro Cop lands two lefts, but his opponent is unphased. Dos Santos lands a body shot, then three knees to the body, and a right hook. One more knee crushes the Croat, and he is hurting after that one. Cigano lands a knee to his opponent’s head, rocking Filipovic. Dos Santos continues with the knees to the body, then lands a punch to the left eye of Cro Cop, who quits after this. The Croat took the punch directly to the eye.

YOUR WINNER: Junior dos Santos via TKO 3rd Round

Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort

Belfort stars with a left kick, and Franklin checks it. Rich moves in and out of range, whilst Vitor has his left hand cocked, locked, and ready to unload. Midway through, and the crowd is getting restless, as not one meaningful blow has connected. Vitor knocks Franklin down to his knees with a left hook. He lands another left, and finishes the fight landing punches with both hands.

YOUR WINNER: Vitor Belfort via TKO 1st round

That’s all from UFC 103. Stay tuned to BWF for what is a busy weekend.

The post The War On … UFC 103 appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

We start proceedings with the happenings of the WWE’s latest Pay-Per-View extravaganza, Breaking Point. The event was held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the home of the infamous screwjob at the 1997 Survivor Series, and this same event, included it’s own screwjob. CM Punk, the World Heavyweight Champion, controversially retained the title, after his opponent, the Undertaker had his win taken off him, due to an ‘illegal submission hold’. Smackdown! General Manager, Teddy Long, used an old rule implemented by Vickie Guerrero, and banned Undertaker’s Devil’s Triangle. The same move used to make CM Punk submit at Breaking Point. Using this technicality so to speak, means it gives Punk a chance to beat the Undertaker in a submission match, and it builds onto the next PPV, Hell In A Cell.

Jeff Hardy was arrested for drug possession. No wonder he wanted to leave the WWE.

Linda McMahon has resigned from the WWE, to concentrate on running to become a Senator in her home state of Conneticut. Good for her. I hope things work out well for her.

Random Clip of the Week: Sonic the Hedgehog’s lessons: #256 Masturbation

Onto TNA news, and TNA have announced the firings of BG James, and Jim Cornette. This is a bad move. Cornette is a mastermind when it comes to wrestling, and with BG James gone, this allows him to come back and be the third member in D-Generation X, which is just what we need.

No Surrender is this weekend, and Kurt Angle defends the TNA Heavyweight Championship against Matt Morgan, Sting and AJ Styles. My predictions will come later in the week, and I suggest that the rest of the BWF staff follow suit.

Song of the Week: From the album ‘Hulk Rules’ by the Wrestling Boot Travelling Band, it’s Track 4 from that album. I strangely enjoy this song.

Onto other news of the week.

South African athlete Caster Semenya, has been revealed to have both male and female sexual organs, making her a hermaphrodite. South African officals are unsure as to whether he/she is allowed to keep her 800m World Championships Gold Medal.

Kanye West has taken over John Edward as the biggest douche in the universe, after his stunt at the VMAs this past week.

I thought Jay Leno left the Tonight Show? Explain to me how his new show is different, except for the timeslot.

Both of my Yahoo Fantasy! NFL teams won this week. Cheer the mighty D-Crippilation X to victory!

Patrick Swayze passed away at age 57, after his 20 month battle with pancreatic cancer. Some people say he was a sex symbol at his age before his death. I say he was in Roadhouse, and cleaned house with Terry Funk. RIP.

Osama Bin Laden has a crush on Whitney Houston. According to one of his ‘sex slaves’, Osama would talk about Whitney all the time. Whitney responded in this manner. Then Tyra had to have her say. Finally, Danny Noriega had this to say.

That’s all for this week. Tune into BWF programming later in the week.

Welcome to the War for another week, here on the BWF network. The only column in the BWF network with it’s own theme song.

WWE programming is still being boycotted unfortunately, which means, that I now declare war on World Wrestling Entertainment. It’s about time, that it gets dragged from this kid-friendly infestation that it’s crawled itself into, and into an era that accommodates the fans that have there during its good and bad days, and the entirety of 1995. Now, the only way to declare war on Vinnie Mac and his kiddie carnival is by heading to the other side of the tracks, and supporting TNA, and ROH. By supporting the opposition, and losing interest in the McMahon family, then Vince will have to resort to what he knows works, and that’s pleasing the fans that supported him for so long. Then, maybe just maybe, the WWE shows a little attitude in his programming and everyone is happy.

My second favourite RAW is WAR match of all time.

Speaking of TNA, they have announced for the first time ever, they are touring my part of the world. Details can found at TNAWrestling.com. All that stands from me and seeing my first wrestling event ever, is the dollars required, and my ability to order decent tickets in time. With that said, I know people reading this have been to a TNA House Show before, so all I’m asking is, what should I expect to pay for tickets etc.?

My favourite RAW is WAR match of all time … Part One.

Let me leave the squared circle for just a moment, and add a few little tidbits to the column.

Why can’t I find NHL 10 on the xbox.com.au website? Does that mean it’s not coming out in Australia?

How do I make it, so it says ‘Click here to continue reading such and such …’? Why can everyone else do it and I can’t?

I’m picking up the Rise and Fall of WCW this week. Do I need to be warned of Buff Bagwell sightings?

What book should I read next? Bret Hart’s, William Regal’s, Batista’s or Andre the Giant’s?

My song of the week.

Are unemployment benefits good for people if you’re having trouble finding new work, even though dealing with the company that provides the services, are a pain in the arse?

Can you tell I’m Australian, because I said arse, instead of ass?

The Survivor Series anthology is coming in November, although it looks like it’s coming in sections of four, rather than the box set the previous three have came in.

My favourite RAW is WAR match of all time … Part Two.

That’s all from the War this week. Stay tuned to BoredWrestlingFan.com throughout the week, and be sure to visit the forums and have your say. This has been the one the call ‘Legend Killer’, telling you, that not only is he Double C, but he wants you to staple gun his genitals to the wall, so we can both have a ball.

Before I begin this week, it seems that other columns on this site are getting rave reviews. Drow wrote a piece on the Casual vs Core wrestling fan, and JT’s Randomness always gets the people talking. Yet, nobody talks about this little piece unless I mention Brett Favre. Now I have, you watch them start talking about the new Viking. Speaking of Vikings, when’s Erik getting a start, or won’t Susan Sarandon let him?

Speaking of Brett, I am now turned off of SportsCenter’s NFL coverage because of everyone’s man-crush for #4. Hey ESPN, he isn’t that good. Green Bay won’t retire his number because he retires, and then magically comes back every year. He doesn’t do training camp, he doesn’t do any training, and yet everyone comes out and says ‘Oh, he’ll save the Minnesota Vikings, they’re now a superbowl team’.

First off, I am a better QB than Tavaris Jackson. Secondly, how does poor Sage Rosenfels feel now? He was traded from Houston, after being back-up to Matt Schaub, to Minnesota, in hopes of a starting spot, and yet, it looks like there’d be more of a chance he’d get a starting spot at the Texans, rather than where he is now, due to the Vikings’ obsession with someone whose five years away from adult diapers. Hagar the Horrible has resorted to alcohol, because he is angry, due toVikings signing Favre.

Not even Asterix can help us against Brett Favre. Or Lorne Greene.

You wanna know what Hulk Hogan’s doing these days? He’s supporting a fellow has been as this picture shows.

Although we all know why Brett went to Minnesota, don’t we?

Finally, I’ll tell you how good Favre is. Two years ago, I won a Fantasy NFL league at Yahoo! I drafted Favre after week 8, when I was 2-6. I won the next nine games, but I had to replace Favre, with Kurt Warner, due to Brett being rubbish. Warner led me through the playoffs, and the championship, whilst Mr. 38 year old at the time, sat on the bench.

This is the end of Part One, I must calm down. Favre-rage is flowing in my veins.

The post The War On Everything part One appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Fresh off my coverage of the 22nd SummerSlam, I’ve saved this time to recap the event.

The PPV as a whole was between average and good. I enjoyed what I saw of the first match between Mysterio and Ziggler, and all bar the ending of the TLC match for the World Heavyweight Championship, but other than that, I personally wasnt excited, even with the 16th return of D-Generation X.

I made up for the average 2009 version, by watching the 1998 edition of SummerSlam. Watching Jeff Jarrett get his hair cut by X-Pac and one-night only DX member, Howard Finkel, to Mankind defending the Tag Team titles unsuccessfully by himself against the New Age Outlaws to the Ladder match between Triple H and the Rock, and Stone Cold defeating the Undertaker for the WWF Championship.

Speaking of the WWE, I have decided to boycott all WWE programming until furhter notice, due to the sheer rubbish that it brings up every week. I will determine a return time in the future, but until then, I will not watch RAW, ECW or SmackDown!

Moving to the other side of the tracks so to speak, and this week on TNA’s iMPACT broadcast, history will be made. TNA President, Dixie Carter, will make her first appearance on the broadcast, and will make an announcement involving Bobby Lashley. Looks like another interesting iMPACT on the way (even though I already know what happens, thanks to the creator of these here parts).

Moving into the sporting world now, and former New York Giants Wide receiver Plaxico Burress was sentenced to two years prison for shooting himself pretty much. There goes him signing for the Eagles this year.

Brett Favre flunked in his first pre-season game wearing the Purple of the Minnesota Vikings. He went 1-4 with just 4 yards, in 2 sets of plays. First, the now fourth-string QB, John David Booty, gives his #4 to Favre, then Favre has 4 pass attempts, and gets 4 yards. I sense a pattern. The weird thing about all this? Brett Favre’s favourite number is 7.

For those who haven’t heard of Caster Semenya, well arent you in for a surprise. Semanya, won the Women’s 800m race at the IAAF Athletics Championships recently. However, she could be stripped of the Gold medal, as officals aren’t sure if 18 year old is infact, a female. Here’s a picture of her. I’ll let the BWF readers decide for themselves. Here’s more information on the story. If you still aren’t unsure, if you unjumble the letters of her full name ‘Caster Semenya’ you get ‘Yes, A secret man’. I think we just found JT’s latest girl.

RIP Sen. Ted Kennedy. He passed away Tuesday after a long battle with Brain cancer.

I’m looking to picking up the new Rise and Fall of WCW dvd. I hear good things.

That’s all for the War for another week. It looks like I’m recapping ECW again this week, as well as SmackDown! from last week. Unless of course, someone else picks up the slack. If they don’t, then they’ll be there by the end of the week.

Stay tuned to BWF throughout the week for your wrestling fix.

Rhodes gets the tag, and meets the High Knee of the Game. Rhodes slaps HBK, so HHH tags him in. Cody beats HBK in an upper hand battle with a slap, so Michaels takes him down with a tackle.

Michaels gets the tag to Hunter and he lets loose on Legacy. Triple H looks for the Pedigree on DiBiase, but Rhodes breaks it up. Michaels takes care of Rhodes, and as the referee is distracted, DiBiase gets a Low Blow in on Helmsley.

Legacy work on HHH in the corner, tagging in and out frequently to keep each man fresh. DiBiase with a chin lock on Helmsley, Trips tries to make the tag to his partner, but its inches in it, before Teddy pulls him away. Trips finally escapes the hold, and both men are down. Cody gets the tag and DDT’s Triple H. Cody with what looks like an Armbar-type hold, as Helmsley tries to make the tag to Shawn. Triple H escapes, and both men down again.

Recap of last week’s Main Event from RAW between Orton/Cena and Jericho/Show.

MATCH#7: WWE CHAMPIONSHIP

Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena

Time to hear those Voices in your head. The ones the council you, that talk to you, that understand.

Champion introductions, as the bell rings.

Cena with a takedown into a Front Facelock for the early advantage. Cena tries to work on the arm of Orton, but receives right hands in the form of a fist to the face for his troubles. But these don’t last long, as Cena regains the advantage. He sends Randy to the corner, then drops him with a Bulldog for the two. Orton now with the upper hand, pummeling Cena in the corner, before sending him hard across into another corner. Orton starts dissecting Cena, stomping on everything that makes up the being of John Cena, before a jumping knee lands on the chest of the challenger, and Randy gets a near fall from it.

Cena tries to regain momentum, but Orton nails his BackBreaker for another near-fall. Randy now applies a chin lock, as the crowd is divided between the Cena haters and the ten-year old Cena fans. Randy turns the hold into a Leg Scissors as well as the chin lock, but Cena powers out. Cena with the Warrior Shoulder blocks, then the reverse powerbomb-type move. Next comes the 5-knuckle shuffle, and as Cena looks to finish him off, Orton gets a slam in and the near fall.

Randy begins the dissection, but Cena rolls out of the way of the Knee Drop. Cena attacks, but Orton avoids and Cena ends up on the outside. Cena tries to get back in, but Orton gets a DDT in, and gets a near fall. Orton begins his stalking for the Scott Norwood Punt, and like Norwood, he misses as Cena gets out of the way, and nails the Throwback. Cena nails what looked like the Fame Asser for the two. Cena goes for the Attitude Adjustment, but Orton escapes, and both men down take each other down with clotheslines. The ref’s ten count begins, and both men are up at 8. Both men exchange shots, and Cena gains the advantage with the Back Body Drop. Thats enough for Orton however, as he pushes the referee down and gets the blatant DQ.

YOUR WINNER AS A RESULT OF DISQUALIFICATION: John …

Wait a minute, Lilian sends a message, on behalf of Vinnie Mac, that the match is restarted, and if Orton is DQ’ed again, then he loses the Gold.

Orton sends Cena into the ring steps, then sends him in the ring for a couple of near-falls. Orton rolls out of the ring, as I notice two BEER MONEY!!!! fans in the audience. Orton decides that he’ll deliberately get counted out this time, allowing Cena to win again.

YOUR WINNER VIA COUNTOUT: John …

Wait, wait, wait. Vinnie Mac talks psychically with Lilian and the match gets restarted again.

Cena tries to finish it, but Orton rolls him up with his feet on the ropes and gets the 3!!

YOUR WINNER AND STILL WWE CHAMPION: Randy …

Just when you thought it was all over, a second referee comes down and tells the first referee, that Orton’s feet were on the ropes. So we restart again …

Cena locks in the STF and has Orton beat, until what looked like a fan comes in and attacks the referee, causing confusion amongst everyone.

The match gets started yet again, Orton nails the RKO and finally gets the victory.

YOUR WINNER AND STILL WWE CHAMPION: Randy Orton

Promo video for the TLC match for the World Heavyweight Championship is shown.

MAIN EVENT: WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

TABLES, LADDERS AND CHAIRS (oh my!)

Jeff Hardy (c) vs. CM Punk

Champion introductions once again, as the bell rings. Punk with the assault early in the corner on Hardy. Punk with a chair, and introduces it to Jeff Hardy. Punk with the ladder in the ring, and as he climbs, Jeff knocks him down. Now it’s Hardy with an attack in the corner. Jeff goes to climb, and Punk knocks him down. Punk goes for the GTS, but Hardy blocks it.

Jeff with the chair, sets it up, goes for Poetry In Motion and misses, and Punk catches him and hits a Back Breaker on the chair. Punk slams the Ladder on Hardy, then nails him with a low dropkick. Punk sends Hardy to the outside, then jumps out of the ring with a Suicide Dive, aniling the champion. Punk sets up a table at ringside, then grabs a chair and tries to mush Hardy’s head against the turnbuckle post, but to no avail. Hardy tries to send Punk to the ring steps, but Punk avoids the steps, only to receive a chair shot from the champion. Hardy then hits Poetry In Motion in the chair. Hardy sets Punk up on a table, and tries to put him through it with a Splash, but Punk rolls out of the way, and Hardy crashes and burns.

Punk tries for the belt again, but Hardy stops him and goes for the belt himself. Punk stops him before he can grab it and goes for the GTS, but receives a sit-down Powerbomb for his troubles. Hardy goes for the title, and just as he gets there, Punk pushes the ladder over, and Hardy crashes. Punk then puts Hardy on the top rope, and nails a Superples off it, onto a Ladder. Jeff nails a Twist of Fate, then heads up top and goes for the Swanton, but Punk gets his knees up. Punk goes for the Bulldog Headlock, but Hardy puts Punk through the table that Punk had setup earlier.

Hardy goes to climb again, but Punk springboards off the ropes and knocks Hardy off. Punk puts the chair around Hardy’s neck, and looks to send him into the turnbuckle post, but Hardy blocks it, and bashes Punk with the chair. Hardy hits Punk with a piece of the Spanish announce table, then hits him with the chair again. Hardy then grabs a super ladder, climbs to the very top, and Swanton’s CM Punk through the Spanish Announce table.

The stretchers are out, and Hardy’s being whisked away. Meanwhile, Punk has crawled in the ring, and is headed for the belt. Punk climbs, Jeff makes it to the ladder as well, and both are on the ladder. Punk kicks Hardy off the ladder, and unhooks the belt to become champion.

YOUR WINNER AND NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: CM Punk

Punk towers over Hardy and just when you think it’s over, the lights go out, and Taker’s gong hits. The lights come back, and Punk isn’t towering over Hardy anymore. Taker gets up and chokeslams the new Champion.

My predictions ended at 5-3. Pretty good I think, always over 50% is a good thing.

Overall, the PPV was good. I enjoyed watching it. The opening match was a good opening, and the Main event was a good viewing, even thought the finish was a little scrappy I thought, but with Hardy leaving, the return of the Undertaker, means that Punk has his opponent for Breaking Point. This has been the one they call ‘Legend Killer’, tune in tomorrow night for RAW.

The post WWE SummerSlam LIVE … and in Real-Time appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

It’s amazing really, I barely talked about the SummerSlam Pay-Per-View LIVE in about … 14 hours time, which means … it’s prediction time.

MVP vs. Jack Swagger

The man I call Dusty Rhodes gets the win. Listen to Swagger speak, then you’ll know.

Kane vs. the Great Khali

I can’t stand Khali, so I hope Kane wins. Then again, Kane needs the mask.

Unified Tag Team Championship:  JeriShow (c) vs. Cryme Time

If Cryme Tyme win, then it will be a joke. Jericho and Show with the victory.

ECW Championship:  Christian (c) vs. William Regal

William Regal. Sure, it will technically count as a Major Championship reign, but having he, Kozlov and Zeke as a stable on ECW, could be a really good thing. Especially, with the leader with the belt.

Intercontinental Championship: Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler

I can’t stand Rey. I couldn’t stand him as a Filthy Animal, and I can’t stand him now. Give Ziggler the win, even though he was a stupid name.

Legacy vs. D-Generation X

Legacy should win, however they won’t. DX pickup the win.

WWE Championship:  Randy Orton (c) vs John Cena

Orton should retain. I hope the snipers come and shoot Cena.

World Heavyweight Championship: TLC: Jeff Hardy (c) vs CM Punk

Considering Hardy is leaving either at SummerSlam, or the week after. Punk will win. Punk should win. Vampiro doesn’t deserve it.

There you go, that’s who will win. I will be watching if I am awake. If the PPV is not up to scratch, then I wont be watching Floyd Mayweather Guest Host RAW.

The post The War On … SummerSlam predictions appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Rather than begin with the usual, I have to start with the NFL. It seems that everyone can come back from retirement/jail. Michael Vick signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, after spending 21 months on the inside for dog fighting. Brett Favre has come back from retirement for the second time, this time joining the Minnesota Vikings on a two-year deal, making the off-season trade for Sage Rosenfels pretty much useless. Donovan McNabb suggested that Plaxico Burress ‘wouldn’t hurt’ in an Eagles uniform. Here’s the quote from McNabb at ESPN.com

“I don’t think he would hurt,” McNabb said. “We have some great guys here at our receiver position. But, whatever you can do to enhance the team, you would look into it.”

According to what I’m reading, the Eagles suddenly want to become the new Cincinnati Bengals of the league. However, it will be interesting as to how the Eagles accommodate Vick into their offence. Whether, it’s as a back-up QB, or as part of some sort of Wildcat offence, if Vick is anything like he was back in the days under centre for my Atlanta Falcons, then Philly fans will have a good season to look forward to. Either that, if Vick is a flop, then play the Baha Men during each game.

Speaking of returning Quarterbacks, as I mentioned earlier, Brett Favre has return to the NFL, with the Minnesota Vikings, after not being able to play for them last year, due to the Packers trade stipulations. It seems that last year’s season with the New York Jets was just filler. With Favre, Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson all capable of playing in the QB slot, who gets the job? The easy pick is Favre, but how much would that deflate the confidence of the other two? Here it is, pre-season and you have two QB’s vying for one starting job, when low and behold, here comes the supposed savior of the franchise. The man who’s going to bring them success. Surely that doesn’t to the confidence of the others any good? It wouldn’t matter if some players on the team want him there, the Vikings are going to be in turmoil the whole year, regardless of how successful they are on the field.

In wrestling news, TNA and Spike TV have agreed to a new three-year extension to their deal. This is great news for TNA President Dixie Carter and the rest of their crew, as they will have a permanent option for iMPACT. Along with their weekly show, TNA will also provide a series of one-hour specials featuring the biggest personalities, plus some of the greatest and most awe-inspiring matches in the history of the company. I thought they had a show for that? It was called TNA Epics.

TNA Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle was arrested this past week for stalking TNA KnockOut, and girlfriend of Angle, Trenesh Biggers aka Rhaka Khan outside a Starbucks. Police also charged Angle with harassment, possession of the Human Growth Hormone Hygetropin, and a syringe which he used to insert the substance. Angle claims he has a doctor’s prescription for the HGH. Also, adding to all this, he was driving with a suspended license, from a previous drink-driving charge.

My question is, why wasn’t Kurt Angle punished for any of this? Even worse, he was rewarded, when he retained the Championship against Sting and Matt Morgan at the recent PPV entitled ‘Hard Justice‘. TNA need to strip him of the belt, and suspend him indefinitely until this whole thing gets put to bed. How flattering does it sound, to hear that your company’s World Champion, has been arrested and charged with what I mentioned previously? Kurt Angle is not a God-like figure, even though TNA thinks he is.

At this time, the preliminary hearing against Angle was set for Tuesday, although no details have been released.

Although Angle’s title win at Hard Justice wasn’t the only title defended at the event, the big news coming out of it, is that the Main Event Mafia, now hold the Tag Team, X-Division, Legends and World Championship. This is very significant in terms of power and control as it regards to the locker room, and with an announcement from ‘the Pheonomenal’ AJ Styles scheduled for this week’s iMPACT. Things could finally be turning in the right direction, that is, unless the Angle mess doesn’t get cleaned up quickly, but most importantly, the right way.

If the rumours are correct, and that AJ’s announcement this week will be about his retirement, then it would be a massive blow to TNA. AJ is a talent inside the ring, and one of the few originals remaining. Plus with Sting’s expected retirement at the Bound For Glory PPV later this year. TNA could lose to of its biggest names within three months of each other.

In WWE news now, and the annual SummerSlam PPV is this Sunday night, or Monday morning for the likes of me living in the Land Down Under. The double main event sees WWE Champion Randy orton take on John Cena, and a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the World Heavyweight Championship, between the Champion Jeff Hardy, and the challenger, CM Punk. Although, that isnt the news exciting the young fans around the world. The fifteenth re-incarnation of D-Generation X will appear, as Triple H and Shawn Michaels return together again, to take on Ted DiBiase Jr. and Cody Rhodes. I must admit, I was a massive fan of DX, this DX, and this DX. Not the current form. I know it’s never going to happen, but how big of a boost would it be for Legacy to get the victory in this one?

Anyway, that’d just about do it for this week. I think i’ve done enough rambling for one week. Tune in to BoredWrestlingFan.com throughout the week for various columns and show reviews. Don’t forget to check my WWE Vintage Collection reviews at WorldWrestlingInsanity.com. Also, you can find me trolling through the forums at either of the two places I mentioned. I know, I know, I’m in a few places, but hey, they’re good places to be. Go check them out some time. Who knows, you might just feel a little stiff, at what they provide.

First off, let’s discuss the happenings of Monday Night RAW this week from Calgary. Alberta, Canada. Hall of Famer, Sgt. Slaughter was the guest host and did nothing but annoy and piss off the Canadian fans all night. I didnt mind this, as the Sarge lapped up playing bad guy host.

Good to finally see the Woggle get what he deserved, at the hands of Legacy. The sad thing is, Legacy then went on and challenged the reformed D-Generation X at SummerSlam. Nice to see you booking yourself to lose guys!

The crowd gave rather unique remarks to Chris Masters during his match. Chants of ‘Roid Rage’, among other comments were chanted by the Canadians. Does the Masterpiece really deserve this?

It’s nice to see that after he leaves TNA, his finishing move is used by the Calgary Kid on RAW.

I still don’t watch ECW.

What did Teddy Long do exactly to end up on probation?

One wonders if John Morrison will be World Champion by the end of the year, seeing as many sources will say that Jeff Hardy will take time off later this year?

Moving onto the other side of the tracks now, and TNA thought it would be best to have a massive brawl to take up 15 minutes of their time. What they didnt show however, was BG James Frog Splashing a car.

Have you heard Ric Flair rap?

Have you heard Hulk Hogan rap?

Curt Hennig thinks Rap Is Crap.

Yet, the Macho Man rapped a rap just for him.

Twilight star nude! Wait, what’s a Twilight?

I just thought I’d let you know, that as this particular sentence is written, is it exactly 1:25am on Thursday 13th August. As I write this sentence as the BWF servers crashed when I tried to post the column, it is now 9:43am on Thursday 13th August.

Random Code Monkeys clip of the week.

Greatest news article of the week, even though it is an outdated news article.

Finally tonight, as I’m sorry this column is so short. If the ECW results arent posted in the next say … 16 hours? I will bring them to you. Also, be sure to check out our forums. Sign up and have fun.

That’s the lot. Stay tuned to BWF throughout the week. I am the one they call ‘Legend Killer’, reminding you to read the latest Vintage Collection review.

For those who watched Monday Night Raw this week, I’m sorry you had to sit through that. For those who didn’t, well it’s a good thing you did.

Jeremy Piven was guest host this week, andwas entertaining at times. Whereas his co-host, Dr. Ken, was not. He was just, awful. The highlight of RAW was Chris Jericho, during the match between Kofi Kingston, and Jericho Tag Team partner, the Big Show. Jericho’s commentary provided the lone highlight for this viewer, in an otherwise dull show. I might just have to start boycotting WWE programming.

However, also on that same broadcast, John Cena defeated the Miz. That may not seem a shock, however, the stipulations for the match, were plentiful. Because the Miz lost, he is banned from the SummerSlam, the Staples Center and Monday Night Raw. That means, the former reality show star does not offically have a show yet, according to these stipulations. Let’s just hope that he isnt in TNA in four months.

Jeff Hardy should not be World Champion.

Does Legacy really mean that much to the company, if they have to do the J.O.B to the returning D-Generation X at SummerSlam?

TNA are having a clearout. No, you can’t buy t-shirts at half price. You can buy, genuine supporters of Jeff Jarrett. That’s right! Dutch Mantel, and Savio Vega have been given the boot, and they can be yours to own for only $49.95. Not even Billy Mays could get you a better deal. Act now, and Dixie Carter may throw in the added bonus of one Vince Russo. Might I also suggest buying TNA stock. That’s if, TNA actually have a stock option.

Did anyone else notice Kaz during the recap of Comic-Con ’09 on iMPACT last week? That would mean that Kaz, Daniels and Suicide, were in the same place at the same time. That means … who the hell is Suicide? (NOTE: Suicide is Nicole Bass)

Who has dodgier facial hair? Carlito, Primo or Kurt Angle?

Time to step outside the realms of the wrestling world for a moment here.

Watch Code Monkeys on G4! and buy the DVD! You will be entertained. I promise.

Has anyone ever had their Tom Selleck BlackJacked?

It seems that Vanessa Hudgens is at it again. You’d have thought that after the first time she posed nude for her phone, that she wouldnt do it again. Well, she did it again. This just shows you what exactly High School Musical brings to the world. Underage Porn.

Short and sweet. Just the way I can be bothered writing it. I shall go back to Guitar Hero.

Before you begin, no this is not the column that you did not see on Wednesday. This is an advertisement.

No, not for ShamWow, nor am I replacing Billy Mays. This is an advertisement, telling you to head over to VinceRussoWatchesHisBeardGrow.com, our sister site, and check out Part One, of  a Two-Part piece, entitled ‘The State of Wrestling Address’.

Thank You.

The post And now for something completely different … appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

ZZ Top guest hosts RAW. I thought ZZ Top had three members?

The usage of Chavo Guerrero at the moment is nothing short of a complete joke. When he was in WCW, he was Cruiserweight Champion twice, and his talents were shows off each week. Recently, he’s been up against someone who strangely enough fits into THE Brian Kendrick’s jacket with ease from what I hear, Hornswoggle. Nobody should be “wrestling” Hornswoggle. Period.

Chris Jericho’s mystery partner is either Ted DiBiase, Mark Henry or Kane.

My future column for VinceRussoWatchesHisBeardGrow will elaborate on this further, but what happened to the good ‘ol days of watching wrestling? These days, the WWE is aimed at the kids, TNA is aimed at Kurt Angle and ROH has only just begun, and thus targeting anyone who’ll watch. What are the fans that have watched this product for years meant to enjoy? The fans who lived through the Attitude era flicking between RAW and Nitro? Why doesn’t pro wrestling care for these companies anymore?

UFC 100 was nothing short of awesome. Georges St. Pierre schooled Thiago Alves. Michael Bisping got dropped. Hard. Frank Mir got owned, and Brock Lesnar doesn’t like sponsors.

The Main Event Mafia hold 3/5 of the titles in TNA. Is the X-Divison and KnockOuts Championships not worthy of being owned by the MEM? Samoa Joe’s advisor, and one of the worst kept secrets in wrestling, Taz, was introduced at Victory Road. Notice how Joe, is the only member of MEM without a title belt? Is that because he didnt compete in another of the big two before arriving in TNA?

That’s all I can comment on for this week, sorry for the short column. As I said earlier, I’m unwell, and my head is spinning more and more as I type. Stay tuned for future columns by several BWF staff in the coming days. Who knows, you could see me again before the week is done.

The post It’s nice to see the colour green once again appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

First of all, I’d just like to say that I am sick and tired of hearing about him. Sure, his effect in the history of the world will not go un-noticed, but hearing about him all week has boiled my blood. Although I’m shocked about one thing. I’m surprised I haven’t heard more comparisions with this man.

Anyways, onto slightly more important matters. Is anyone shocked that the Main Event of Night of Champions has become a Triple Threat match between Randy Orton, Triple H and John Cena? I’m not, but Orton will still win. Maybe a H/Cena feud will ensue from this match?

Edge has been injured and is out for what is rumoured to be anywhere between six months to a year. This is bad news considering that the Tag Team of himself and Jericho was just beginning and starting to get it’s wheels in motion, and then this happens. Just what will happen to the Tag Titles now? Will they go to DiBiase and Rhodes, their opponents for Night of Champions? Nobody knows at the moment, not even me. Let’s just hope that this doesn’t send Jericho into obscurity.

Do you like pandas? Then click here. I dare you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring to you, the unclickable LINK!

*insert weekly Kurt Angle reference here* If you don’t mention him, then he comes after you at night time. He will watch you in your sleep.

Myra Hindley became my facebook friend. Not only is she my babysitter, but she’s been dead for about seven years now. It just shows you, the dead use facebook.

Has anyone else notices that this column is starting to turn into JT’s column, rather than my own? Well, according to the poll, people read JT’s column more than anyone else’s. However, not even JT would post something like this, or say that how he once had a friend who dated a cannibal. He didnt know she was, nobody did. That was, until the one night she went down on him.

It’s my birthday tomorrow, or Thursday the 9th of the seventh month, for those reading this on a non-Wednesday or past the date in question. Celebrate it whichever you wish. I choose to celebrate it by skidding out on a very icy road, and bending up the wishbone among other things on my car. That is a true story.

Did you know that Catholic Girls take LSD?

Does anyone remember the Sooty Show? With Soo and Sweet? The Puppets? If you don’t, this might help. However, this will help.

Finally tonight, the most important thing to remember is, is that we can be friends, and that’s the most important thing. See you next week!

The post Livin’ On A Wednesday appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

WWE

The Bash has been and gone. Results have been posted by whomever it was that reviewed it. So there’s no need for me to comment on it.

However, there was some kind of trade that happened, sending the likes of Matt Sydal and Dusty Rhodes to RAW, William Regal to ECW and the Hart Foundation 3.0 to SmackDown! Will this make any difference to the amount of wrestling on TV? No. Will it make a difference as to how many In Your House Pay-Per-Views I watch on DVD? Oh hell yeah!

I recently picked up the WWE Encyclopedia. They say it includes everyone, it even has Chris Benoit mentioned with a big picture of him and all. I heard they had to keep him away from the pillows, but at least he’s in there. Matt Morgan, Chris Kanyon, Sean O’Haire and Nathan Jones did not make the book. They all competed in WWE, where is their mentioning? Kanyon won tag team gold, and was U.S. Champion, and he didnt make the book!

Just Joe made the book. Remember him? The weekly jobber for Heat? He made it. Kronik, the group which lasted less than a month in WWE, they made it. Remember Pez Whatley? Phantasio? PJ Walker? They all made it. Theodore Long made it, and yet Sean Mooney nor Todd Pettingill didnt. It’s a good encyclopedia, but it would be even better if they included everyone.

TNA

It seems the nWo Wolfpac new World order Main Event Mafia will hold every TNA Title after Victory Road. I knew it was coming, it had to. It looks like Kurt Angle will be TNA Champ, Samoa Joe as Legends Champ and Booker T and Scott Steiner as Tag Team Champions.

What happened to Eric Young’s heel turn? He’s stuck wrestling Jesse Neal. Who the hell is Jesse Neal?

Well, thats it, I know it seems a bit short, but i’m now writing two columns on the same night, and this is the second of the two. Besides, I have a Randy Savage DVD to watch.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot … P!

The post Find the secret word … appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

WWE

The Bash is this weekend, so I suppose, i’d better preview it for the public.

Jimmy Valiant vs Paul Jones in a Dog Collar match

Expect the ‘Handsome’ one to win this one.

Billy Graham, Konga the Barbarian and Abdullah the Butcher w/Paul Jones vs Manny Fernandez, Sam Houston and Buzz Tyler

Even though their manager competed in the first match, I see Graham’s team winning. The size and craziness of the Butcher will be too much for the other team to handle.

Ron Bass w/James J. Dillon vs Buddy Landell

I see the future Horsemen manager playing  a part in this one. Ron Bass takes it out for me.

Minnesota Wrecking Crew (c) (Ole and Arn Anderson) vs Buzz Sawyer and Dick Slater – NWA National Tag Team Championship

I see the Andersons scraping this one out and retaining the gold.

NWA World Tag Team Champions: Krusher Khruschev and Ivan Koloff vs the AWA World Tag Team Champions: the Road Warriors w/Paul Ellering

I see the AWA Champs taking this one out in what will sure to be nothing short of a fight between these four guys.

Magnum T.A. (c) vs Kamala w/Skandor Akbar for the NWA United States Championship

Somehow, in some way, I can see Magnum retaining the gold. Possibly by a countout or a disqualification, but he will retain.

Ric Flair (c) vs Nikita Koloff w/Ivan Koloff with David Crockett as Referee for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship

Flair always seems to rise in the big occasions, and even with the help of Ivan, I can’t see Nikita winning. The dirtiest player in the game gtes the win.

Tully Blanchard (c) w/Baby Doll vs Dusty Rhodes for the NWA World Television Chanpionship in a Steel Cage

Blanchard has nowhere to run and nowhere to hide from the American Dream. One final Bionic Elbow and Dusty becomes champ.

TNA

They had a PPV. Slammiversary Seven. It was a momentus occasion, considering seven seems to be the celebratory number in TNA. Anyways, let’s review the results shall we?

Pre Show: the British Invasion def. Eric Young and Rhino

Who cared?

Suicide (c) def. ‘Paparazzi’ Alex Shelley, Randy Savage, Afro Thunder and Chris Sabin in a King of the Mountain match for the X Division Championship

Nice to see Kaz is still in the mask (Note: Suicide isn’t kaz, it’s this guy.

Daniels def. Shane Douglas for Daniels’ TNA roster spot

Money on it, that Douglas is on this week’s iMPACT.

Angelina Love (c) w/Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne def. Tara for the Knockouts Championship

“…All the things she said, running through my head…”

Abyss and Taylor Wilde def. Daffney and Raven w/Dr. Stevie in a Monster’s Ball Mixed tag match

Didn’t they have one of these like last month?

Rhino def. Team Canada (Bobby Roode and Coach D’Amore) in a Handicap match

This match happened at the 2006 edition of Slammiversary, thus not relevant to this particular PPV

Sting def. Matt Morgan for a spot in the Main Event Mafia

As if Morgan was going to win

Beer Money def. Team 3D (c) to win the TNA Tag Team Championship

Justice has been served, one half of AMW and one fifth? one sixth? of Team Canada reclaim the gold. Best Tag team in wrestling. BEER! MONEY!

Bob Backlund def. Alex Shelley

This is from 2007, who’s handing me these notes?

Kurt Angle def. Mick Foley (c), Jeff Jarrett, Gonorrhea, Taka Michinoku, Funaki, Christian Cage, Alzheimer’s Disease, Samoa Joe, Chris Harris, Scott Steiner, Doink the Clown, the Rock, Lance Hoyt, Lo-Ki, heel CM Punk, Taka Michinoku, Funaki, Vitali Klitschko, Vlade Divac, Chris Webber, Anfernee Hardway, Toby Keith, Christy Hemme, ABBA, Stephen Root, George Constanza, Trey Parker, Taka Michinoku, Funaki, Syphillis, John C. Reilly, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Bill Guerin, Alzheimer’s Disease, the Triumvirate of TN-Awesomeness,  Nash Bridges, Cheech Marin, Tecmo Superbowl, Wario, Sidney Crosby, ThinkSoJoe’s ex-wife, Mick Foley’s book ‘the Hardcore Diaries’, a Bookshelf, AJ Styles, Air Paris, the 1973 Chicago Bears, Terry Bradshaw’s hairpiece, Cactus Jack, Dude Love, Chainsaw Charlie and Alzhe … I forget in a King of the Mountain match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship

Need I say more … ?

That’s all for this week!

The post Nah mate, nothing hurts like buggery … appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

The View of the Non-Wrestling Fan

James Guttman said it best in his book, World Wrestling Insanity: the Fall and Decline of a Family Empire, when he quoted the adage “For those who enjoy it, no explanation is needed. For those who don’t, no explanation will do”. I can sit here for hours, trying to explain to you why exactly I an a fan of the business this website is based on, but to be honest, I cant. What I can tell you, is that there were three things that got me going, my second eldest brother, some WWF Steel Cage wrestling game for the SEGA Mega Drive, and Shawn Michaels. Infact, Michaels and Bret Hart were my Tag Team Champions on that game. This was 1993. Little did I know of the future these two would have. But moving on, the reason this column is being written as you see it, is because of work, and my lunch breaks.

In the past couple of days, I have been taking in some PPVs to watch during my 30-minute break. Which normally means I get a full match in. However, what I have found, is that there people in my workplace, who cannot stand the sight of wrestling. They are the type who say ‘it’s fake’ or ‘they know what’s gonna happen, don’t they’? This is where the old adage I mentioned earlier comes in. No matter what I say, I cannot and will not change their minds about what they think.

The following is from the point-of-view of the non-wrestling fan. The PPV in question, is Judgment Day 2000. The match was the first on the card. A six-man tag between Edge, Christian and Kurt Angle versus Too Cool and Rikishi.

There was a time in this match where, I think it was Rikishi was in the ring, and he was beating up all three of his opponents. Now, rather than ganging up for a 3-on-1 assault, they attacked him individually. Infact, one waited for the other to be knocked down, before making his move. Now, common sense will tell you that, if you have three guys, against one, then the three should attack all at once, thus increasing their chances of beating down the one. I decided not to argue, and infact listen to their opinions of the action. Here’s some questions that arose, other than the one I just mentioned:

What is the point of that (Scotty 2 Hotty’s worm) when all that happens is a chop to the throat that misses by three inches?
They wouldnt be able to do this as much as they do if they actually connected?
and one that I came up with …
What was everyone’s fascination with Too Cool? They sucked!

Let’s analyze as the wrestling fan. Scotty’s worm is purely for show. Much like Rock’s ‘People’s Elbow’, or Hogan’s ‘Leg Drop’. They’re basic moves done in a way to make it look like it would have more effect on their opponent, when really, it wouldnt do much to them at all.

If they actually connected, you would only see a guy wrestle every few months. You don’t see the same guy fight at a UFC PPV 3,4,5 months running, because it would be almost physically impossible to not only compete, but to be able to recover enough from the beating they received in their last bout. Also, they are entertainers. I was told something which struck a cord with me. “That’s why wrestlers become good actors, because they need to act in order to do this (wrestle)”. I agree with this statement. Would the Rock, or Steve Austin, or John Cena be as good as what they in the movies, without performing in a wrestling ring? We cannot answer that, with a definite answer, but being involved with ‘Sports Entertainment’ has helped, and thats all the wrestling business is now. It’s ‘Sports Entertainment’, not ‘professional wrestling’.

I think the point I’m trying to make is, we all know we know it. Some of us can explain why we like this guy, or boo that guy, but some of us don’t understand why others don’t like it as much.  My advice is, chances are your not going to change someones mind about it, but listen to their thoughts. Look at things from another perspective, a non-wrestling fan’s perspective. You might just learn a thing or two, but most of all, realize, that Too Cool really did suck.

The post Hey Trump, come buy me too! appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

WWE

My opinions of Extreme Rules has already been expressed. So I’m going to comment on other things.

Umaga was released. A case of a guy who was pushed, then nothing. Pushed, then nothing. He had just recently come back and into the feud with CM Punk. The release comes as a bit of a shock but it isnt a surprise. He was getting pushed and pushed, and yet he wasnt getting the crowd reaction of a main event guy. Maybe he could do better in TNA. Speaking of which, guess where Mr. Kennedy’s going in September?

Vickie Guerrero quits as General Manager of RAW. Rumour has it, that she is leaving for good, to spend more time with her kids. Good for Vickie for wanting to spend time with your kids. No offence, but it seems, for the most part, you tarnished your late husband somewhat.

Greatest Race Ever! Find the race on YouTube, theres 12 parts to it, but it’s all worth it, I promise.

Triple H returns. Yes, the Game, the King of Kings returned on RAW to attack Legacy. Now, as we talked about during our Extreme Rules coverage, Hunter wasnt out for that long at all after the Scott Norwood kick. Shawn Michaels was out months, it ended the WWE career of RVD, and yet both Vince McMahon and Triple H were both out for about a month and a half. Those McMahons must have super powers or something.

TNA

To be honest, I missed iMPACT this week. due to my cable being down. Let’s see what I missed.

It doesnt look like much at all. The MMG and Lethal Consequences were named as Suicide’s opponents for the first ever X-Division King Of The Mountain. That isnt a shock at all. i’m sure I’ll have more next week.

I thought I might just put this here.

I’m gonna finish this column with a reminder to Ricardo Rosset and Taki Inoue. Poor Taki needs to watch for cars, as for Ricardo. Well, thanks for making my night a whole lot better.

Peace out, or whatever, tune in next week, and read all the columns. Oh, and avoid the beer bottles, we just turned one, so we’re breaking it in. Well I am anyways, by drinking the place dry.

The post Less than three days later … appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

I’m just kidding, it means another Wednesday column.

WWE

First of all, I have to start with Misterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr … hang on … Misterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Anderson

Ken Anderson, aka Mr. Kennedy, was released by the WWE this week. Now, the reason as to his release, are several in number. From sloppy suplexes to apparent wrist injuries, to a war of words backstage, to being injury prone. Many reasons are to blame for his departure. However, I can prove Mr. Kennedy was injured during RAW this past week, as this footage shows. Here is another angle of his devastating injury.

The field for the next WWE PPV, entitled ‘Extreme Rules’ is set, and it is headlined by the HogPen match between Miss Wrestlemania Vickie Guerrero and Santina Marella. Can Santina Marella reclaim her crown? Find out in this one of  a kind match.

Also on the card, the WWE Champion, Randy Orton defends his title in a Steel Cage match against Batista.

Edge will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Hardy in a Ladder match, John Cena will face the Big Show in a Battle Rap Submission match, Christian defends the ECW Championship against Tommy Dreamer and Jack Swagger, Rey Mysterio defends the Intercontinental Championship against Chris Jericho, the new United States Champion, Kofi Kingston, defends against William Regal, Matt Hardy and MVP in a Fatal Four-Way and CM Punk faces off against Umaga in a Samoan Strap match. Just let you know, this PPV takes place on a Public Holiday in the land where I roam, so be sure to watch out for my comments LIVE. Will they be here? Who knows? Stay tuned.

TNA

Samoa Joe has been injured according to Samoa Joe’s Twitter account. He has a torn tricep as well as a broken finger or two. As TNA film several iMPACTs in advance, it will not affect his appearance there, however, it will affect him at Slammiversary. It will be interesting to see what type of role he plays.

Raven, Shane Douglas and Victoria all apeared on iMPACT this week. Raven to feud with Abyss, Shane Douglas attacked Daniels and Victoria took out the Beautiful People. It’s good to see Victoria, although I heard she was retiring. Shane Douglas looks fat and Raven looks old.

Why do I get the feeling that Konnan is coming back to take out the British Invasion?

Random link of the week, just for JT.

Eric Young is becoming evil. This just gives me an excuse to link you to the Team Canada theme.

Beer Money Inc. look like they are becoming good guys. That doesnt mean I’m giving away my Beer Money Inc. T-shirt and hat.

Finally, because I teased you before, for those who clicked on the link thinking they’d get this, when they should’ve gotten this.

The post It just sneaks up on you doesn’t it? appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Let’s party like it’s 1999.

TNA Sacrifice

Lethal Consequences and Eric Young def. MotorCity Machine Guns and Sheik Abdul Bashir

Apparently, this match was announced on the TNA website the day of, or the day before the PPV. Great idea TNA. Although, the MMG and Afro Thunder/Randy Savage have been chasing Suicide the past few weeks, trying to find out his identity. Speaking of Suicide, I sense another link coming on.

Monster’s Ball: Taylor Wilde def. Daffney w/Abyss

Taylor Wilde wins and Abyss chokeslams Dr. Stevie Richards onto thumbtacks. This was the first KnockOuts Monsters Ball and hopefully it is the last. The only possible way I would watch a match like this, is with a group of friends so we can all bag the crap out of a match like this.

Suicide def. Daniels after Daniels had already won, but wanted the match restarted because of MMG’s interference.

I’m serious. Daniels won, but because MMG interfered and he didnt want to win that way, he wanted to make things fair. Yeah and you lost Daniels. Your so good Daniels, that you won the match, but thought, you know what? We all know Suicide is a woman and it’s hard to be a woman, trust me I know. I can beat a woman fair and square cant I? Jeff Jarrett thought the same thing about Chyna, but the difference is, Chyna is a man, Suicide is not.

Angelina Love def. Awesome Kong to retain the KnockOuts Championship

Kong misses a move and Love sprays hair spray in Kong’s eyes and gets the pin. Your telling me that Kong dismantles Madison Rayne, Velvet Sky and one half of the Smokin’ Gunns, yet a simple can of hair spray is what stops her? She’s a behemoth and yet she’s as soft as a kitten. It’s not right. This is a mistake. Kong should be and always be an indestructible force that should only be stopped by some sort of gang hit or by numerous numbers.

Samoa Joe def. Kevin Nash

The broken down injury prone Outsider survived a match without getting injured. It’s a miracle. If only Waco, Texas had a miracle. One final thing about this match. You know Jenna Maresca/Marasca/Mascara/Mil Mascaras? Apparently, this is the song of how Big Kev met his Survivor.

BEER MONEY!!!! def. the British Invasion to win the Team 3D Tag Team tournament

Justice is almost served. Now all thats gotta happen is Beer Money regain the Tag titles and the world will be right again. Thats all I need to say about this, oh and this.

For the record, I have a coathanger.

AJ Styles def. Booker T to retain the Legends Championship

The cross dresser came and threw in the towel so Dokken T lost the match and the Dog-Faced Gremlin was in Dokken’s corner too. It’s true, she is! I Heard It Through The Grapevine.

TNA Heavyweight Championship: Sting def. Kurt Angle to become the leader of the Main Event Mafia. Mick Foley retains the TNA Championship.

You would think that I put a clip of Creed’s ‘My Sacrifice’ here, well maybe I did, you just gotta click the link to find out. By the way, who didnt see the result of the Main Event a mile away. Raise your hands all those who didnt know? FOOLS!!! All of you. Thinking that the result would go any other way? Sure, I probably said something else in my last column, but I knew that Sting was gonna beat Angle. It was the only POINTLESS result, which is why they went with it. It is TNA we’re talking about.

WWE

One thing of mention. Coach interviewing Vince on ESPNews. Vince had a good chuckle I believe.

Thats it, another Wednesday, another column. Last thing, Trojans are Australia’s Best Selling Condom. It adds a whole new meaning to the ‘Trojan Horse’ now doesnt it? Just who put all those Trojans in that horse?

It’s that time already
I was just eating some chocolate ice cream
I’ve been thinking all day
About my column and what should be its theme
But it can’t be late
‘Cause then it’s Thursday and it wont be right
These are the days
I wish that Vinnie had a show every night

It’s just a column on a Wednesday
At least it’s not every day

I think I need a miracle
‘Cause all I see on my screen is white
I’m running out of time
and I’ve still got nothing to write
‘Cause it takes me so long

I post a YouTube clip or two
And everything is a-ok

It’s just a column on a Wednesday
At least it’s not every day

Thank Joe it’s only one day
It’s just a column on a Wednesday

Why in my mind
Did I choose to make fun of a Bangles song
It’s just too hard
Does it really matter
That it’s hard to change the words
I’ll just write anything down
A giant has a big voice

It’s just a column on a Wednesday

At least it’s not every day
Then I’d have no fun day

It’s just a column on a Wednesday

Wednesday. The only day in the week where there is zero wrestling on your TV. Monday Nights are RAW, Tuesdays have ECW. Thursdays make an iMPACT. Friday nights have SmackDown! Saturday Nights are ROH and Sundays are for Pay-Per-View. Where does that leave Wednesday? Luckily, at BoredWrestlingFan, yours truly has completed your weekly wrestling fix.

WWE Judgment Day

I actually made predictions in last week’s column, if thats what you want to call them. Let’s see if my wishes came true.

Umaga def. CM Punk

I got this one wrong. Infact, judging by the length of this match. This wasnt a 30 minute match was it? It wasnt even a 10 minute match. No, it was more like this …

Christian def. Jack Swagger

Who didnt see this coming a mile away huh? Christian won. Personally, I dont see why Jack Swagger cant win, I mean, he’s been in commercials. At least, I think it’s him, it sure sounds like him. Here, judge for yourself.

John Morrison def. Shelton Benjamin

This shows you just how much means in the scheme of things, that as of last Wednesday, this match was not announced for the Pay Per View. Which means, that this match had at most exactly four days build up. Four Days People! How can you build a PPV match in four days? It’s just like working out if the contractors building the Death Star knew what they were getting into? I’ll let Dante and Randal explain.

A segment involving the Miz, Chavo and Santino

Thats the Miz, Chavo Guerrero and Santino Marella

Rey Mysterio def. Chris Jericho

Well it looks like my dreams didnt come true. Rey Mysterio didnt get Swine Flu nor did he get booted back to Mexico. Perhaps I should’ve gotten JBL to do it. Rather than comment on this match, why not show it to you. I present to you, Rey Mysterio vs Chris Jericho.

Batista def. Randy Orton by DQ (Orton retains WWE Championship)

Randy cheats to win, so Big Dave doesnt win the title. Hooray for Randy, thank you for not letting that useless lug win the title. It’s good to see they might let Randy hold the title for a few months, or at least until this man comes back. However, spoiler note, Randy Orton scheduled to defend the WWE Championship three times during RAW’s tour of Australia and New Zealand in early July. Before you ask, no I’m not going, my birthday is too close to the touring dates (the last day of the tour is the day before my birthday), which means that chances are, Randy isnt losing the title before then.

Wasn’t Batista a Body Builder?

John Cena def. Big Show

First off, did you know John Cena gave driving tips? Secondly, if anyone actually thought that Big Show was going to win at Judgment Day should not be allowed to be a wrestling fan ever again. Thirdly, don’t you pay attention to rhymes? Fourthly and finally, Are we gonna have a shower or what?

Edge def. Jeff Hardy

Edge retains the World Heavyweight Championship, which means for the first time in a long while, all major titles have been retained at the one PPV. Which is good, considering I was at a concert the other night and was surprised to see Jeff Hardy reforming his old band. Here’s a clip.

No TNA this week, I went through a fair bit last week and the only thing that has been added is that Jeff Jarrett is now a part of the Title match at Sacrifice. That’s J-E-Double F J-A-Double R-E-Double T. What is he Sacrificing in order to be in the match? Why ownership of TNA of course. Judging by that, my prediction is, either Angle loses or Foley loses. My guess, Angle loses to Foley.

That’s it for another Wednesday, don’t forget to check out my review of the Vintage Collection over at WorldWrestlingInsanity.com and the sister site of BoredWrestlingFan.com, VinceRussoWatchesHisBeardGrow.com.

I leave you this week, with the softer side of the Doug Anthony All Stars. Here it is!! Tune in next week.

WWE Judgment Day

Judgment Day is this Sunday according to WWE programming. Didnt they just have a PPV last month? Anyways, it’s time to sort out just who will win. But first, check out the awesome video for the PPV!

CM Punk vs Umaga

Remember what I said last month about CM Punk’s match at Backlash and how he only gets matches because the WWE thinks the fans want to see him? This is another one of those matches. This match means absolutely nothing to anyone, except for Umaga, because he’s actually getting used on a PPV. Punk win, just because the event is held in his hometown of Chicago. I have nothing more to say about this, because I dont care.

Rey Mysterio vs Chris Jericho – Intercontinental Championship

Promo Video

Tough one. Submission match. Crossface vs Walls of Jericho. Can Jericho win the IC belt from Benoit, or will Benoit retain? I’m gonna say Benoit, but it’s tough for me to decide either way … wait … it’s not Benoit in the match, it’s Rey Mysterio vs Jericho? The IC title’s on the line. What is this? The year 2000? Jericho wins. Someone boot that little Mexican back over the border where he belongs. Oh, and I hope het gets swine flu.

Christian vs Jack Swagger – ECW Championship

Christian wins. I suppose I’d better add something else here. Here we go, the greatest RAW match of all time according to yours truly. Part One.

John Cena vs the Big Show

Like I said in last week’s column. John Cena needs to learn to sell injures a lot more. He was thrown into a spotlight by the Show at Backlash and this past week, he was in a match against the Miz. 15 Days after being thrown in a spotlight, John Cena wrestled. That is just ridiculous. However, I’ve seen  this match before. Infact, it happened at a Judgment Day, several years ago …

Shane McMahon John Cena vs Big Show

Edge vs Jeff Hardy – World Heavyweight Championship

Been here. Seen it before. See? StingEdge vs Vampiro

Randy Orton vs Batista – WWE Championship

This past week on RAW, Batista refused the chance to join a group including Randy Orton. I dont see why he refused,  I mean, it wouldnt be the first time Batista has joined in the same group as Randy Orton. Maybe Randy should’ve offered 100,000 as well.

Two former Evolution members go head to head with the gold on the line. Both were World Champion during Evolution. Both beat Triple H for their first title reigns. Batista has a penis for a head and Randy Orton has a penis for a stablemate, as well as Ted DiBiase. Randy wins, but let’s just hope that this match doesnt go the same way as this one …

and now, here’s Part Two!

TNA

They have a PPV coming up too, it’s called Sacrifice and the main event is for the TNA Title. Champion Mick Foley defends against Kurt Angle and Sting, in a match that is sure to push the young talent that TNA say they are doing.

However, each man must Sacrifice something in order to compete and if they get pinned, then they lose what they sacrifice to the person that pinned them. Sounds simple, doesnt it? I know, a real shocker coming from TNA. So, your question now is, just what exactly is everyone Sacrifing? Well, let me tell you …

If they lose …

If Mick Foley gets pinned, he loses the TNA Heavyweight Title
If Kurt Angle gets pinned, he gives up leadership of The Main Event Mafia
If Sting gets pinned, he has vowed to never wrestle again

Also on the card, is as follows:

I-QUIT MATCH FOR THE TNA LEGENDS CHAMPIONSHIP
Booker T vs. “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles

Who cares? I believe AJ became Champ, so he could be the first TNA Grand Slam Champion.
TNA KNOCKOUT WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP
Champion Angelina Love vs. Awesome Kong

I hope Kong eats her. I really do. Cannibalism on PPV will make me want to watch TNA more.

MAIN EVENT MAFIA VS. TNA FRONTLINE
Kevin Nash vs. Samoa Joe

The teacher versus the student. Remember when Nash mentored Joe? Big Kev mustn’t be a good tutor, because Joe has found himself a new tutor. Speaking of this match, Scott Hall won’t be getting involved, let Joe tell you.

THE FIRST-EVER KNOCKOUTS MONSTER’S BALL
Check back for the complete lineup

THE FINALS OF THE TEAM 3D TOURNAMENT
The winners get a shot at the TNA World Tag Team Title *cough* Beer Money win *cough*

Well, thats it. Stay tuned next week, when I, will hopefully provide not only my weekly Wednesday column, but also, a special May 19th column, in honour of Kane.

The post Wednesday, Wednesday, Happy Days. Wednesday, Wednesday, Happy Days. appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

WWE

Superstars: I dont actually watch this show each week. I’m assuming it isnt as good as the opening video for the 1996 version however. 1996 Opening Intro

Smackdown: It seems my predictions from previous columns have come true. Jeff Hardy has become #1 contender and Chris Jericho looks like wrestling Rey Rey for the Intercontinental Championship. I’d like to see John Morrison’s singles push truly begin, maybe start him off in the IC Title feud, then by the end of the year have him up at the World Title level.

ECW:  Christian’s Champ and it seems his challengers are Swagger, Henry and Dreamer. So they bring over Kozlov and yet don’t put in the title picture. Instead, they have him against jobbers. Why draft Kozlov over then? He could be doing that on SmackDown!

RAW: Shane McMahon os NOT the Hulk. Even though his last name is McMahon, he does not have super mega ultra powers. It sickens me to watch Shane O hold his own against one of Legacy, let alone three. God I hope Batista doesnt win at Judgment Day. For whatever God it is that exists in the world, please don’t let Batista win.

TNA

iMPACT: Lashley has done a grand total of NOTHING so far. MotorCity Machine Guns and LAX were knocked out of the Tag Team tournament, which means it looks like an easy path through to the final for Beer Money Inc. Daniels is accused of being Suicide. Daniels denies and will continue to deny until Kaz is back and able to wrestle, then they will both appear in the ring at the same time, confusing the hell outta everyone. Then they will take off the Suicide mask and realize it was Mr. Dean, the Farmer. Then Mr. Dean will say that he woulda gotten away with it too, if it werent for those MotorCity Machine Guns.

Short-ish but sweet, just the way I like it. Dont forget to check out all the details about the Priceless Wedding over at VinceRussoWatchesHisBeardGrow.com. I am the REAL Legend Killer, reminding you, that the Daschund is the best dog to have sex with.

The post Just Another Manic Wednesday … appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

WWE Backlash

Backlash has been and gone. Matches were won and lost, and i didnt do any predictions. So, let’s just examine the happenings.

Christian def. Jack Swagger to become new ECW Champion.

Well, well. He finally wins the title.  I knew that sooner or later he was gonna win. But the big question remains. Does this count as a major title win? I know that the ECW Championship counts as a major championship, but I, along with several other people, doesnt see the ECW Championship as nothing more than a re badged European Championship. Is this the stepping stone to Main Event level for Christian? My guess is no, as he needs to step up an extra couple of rungs up the ladder before he makes true Main Event status.

Chris Jericho def. Ricky Steamboat

Nice to see Jericho got the win. A loss here would have destroyed the small amount of credibility he has left. Also, I hope this is the end for Steamboat. He may still be able to go a little, but that doesnt mean that he should go a little. The novelty has worn off for Steamboat. As for Jericho, hopefull SmackDown! pushes him back up to Championship status, although seeing him stare down the Intercontinental Champion during the Draft coverage a few weeks back, spells his future.

Kane def. CM Punk

The relevance of this match? Filler. Thats all it was. they made up some thing about Kane being upset about not winning Money in the Bank at WrestleMania, but that did a rather lame job of hiding the fact that this match was only put there to fill up the card. Sadly, this match got in and yet the US Title, the Tag Titles, the IC Title and both Womens Titles didnt get defended. Just goes to show you how much the WWE think people want to see CM Punk. Even if the matches don’t mean anything.

Jeff Hardy def. Matt Hardy

This match was an I Quit match. If I am forced to sit down, and watch this Vampiro ripoff anymore, then I will quit. I do not understand how this guy is popular. Do they feel sorry for him because his house burned down? Do they feel sorry for him because he thought the name of this PPV was ‘Cracklash’? But seriously, I have no idea how Jeff Hardy got pushed, whereas Matt, the better of the two Hardys, didnt. Jeff became WWE Champion. He beat Edge for the belt, and was challenging former champion Triple H all the way. Yes, thats right, Triple H. The same Triple H whom Jeff Hardy beat for the Intercontinental Title back in 2001. Whereas Matt Hardy, well he beat Chavo Guerrero for the ECW Championship. The same ECW Championship that I referred to as a re badged European Championship earlier. I wonder what will happen now that they are on different shows? My guess is, Matt Hardy will do nothing, whilst Jeff challenges for the World Title.

Khali Kiss Cam

Joke. Santina loves JR and Khali beats up Beth Phoenix. What has Beth Phoenix done to piss someone off? She must’ve done something real bad to be invovled in this Santina/Santino, To-may-to/To-ma-to let’s call the whole thing off nonsense. Thats what they should do with Santina Marella. Call the whole thing off. it’s becoming more ridiculous by the second. Nice way to destroy Beth’s career.

Legacy def. Trips, Shane O and PenisHead, meaning Randy Orton is new WWE Champion

Oh my god, the all mighty Triple H got beaten. What ever will we do? I know, send Penishead after him. He’ll save the day! Newsflash. Deacon Dave is inept. The only thing he’s good for is holding collection boxes. On the other hand, having Randy as champ is a big PLUS. Now, why couldnt they have Orton win at ‘Mania? Surely that would’ve been the best time to have him win the belt.

Edge def. John Cena to become World Heavyweight Champion

Edge win the belt, with a very big assist from the Big Show. Let me make this loud and clear. John Cena is NOT Hulk Hogan. John Cena is NOT some sort of being with superhuman powers. John Cena is NOT a member of the X-Men. Is Edge not good enough to beat John Cena on his own? Does the major title on SmackDown!, have to change more than Vickie Guerrero does love interests? However Ladies and Gentlemen and this is where they really grind my gears. John Cena, appeared on RAW. Thats right, just one day after being thrown into a spotlight, John Cena appears the next night. Hulk Hogan sold more in his career, than John Cena ever will. I hope Edge holds the belt for awhile, unless he loses it to Jericho. Anyone else, and it will be a travesty.

TNA

Have I missed anything? Oh yeah, they have a PPV coming up. It’s like they have one every month or something. Anyways, the up-coming PPV is Sacrifice and Mick Foley will defend his belt against … well it could be a list of people. From Bug-Eyed Lashley, to BrokeNeck Angle, to Stung, to Mike Tyson’s lookalike. The list goes on and on. Also, theres a Tag Team Tournament to determine the #1 contender for the gold. The winner also receives a trophy and $100,000. If Beer Money doesnt win the tournament, then their belts back, then once again, it’s a travesty.

The Rest

Just some short little tidbits here. Whomever entered the competition won. You all win jack, and shit. Thank you for entering.

Finally, don’t forget my review of the WWE Vintage Collection will be up at WorldWrestlingInsanity.com inside the next 24 hours, so go check that out. Also, check out the various videos and toilet breaks throughout the review.

I am the REAL Legend Killer, reminding you to stay away from fat chicks, as you might end up with swine flu.

The post Wednesday Night Is The Loneliest Night Of The Week appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

TNA Lockdown

I’ve been promoting this PPV for weeks. I even talked about this PPV during Wrestlemania week, without talking about Wrestlemania. With all that said, did they let me down? Well, it depends on which way you look at it.

For those who watched it, I’ve heard mixed reactions, although some of these reactions have come from the same TNA bashers each week who have watched previous PPVs in the past and think that the rest will be the same. However, right here on this very website, our very own Drowgoddess, thought the PPV was at least decent. Infact, she enjoyed it. I didnt watch it, and Drow did, so I will take her word on how good it was. But that doesnt mean I have nothing to say.

How can Team 3D, have numerous ‘Rough Cuts’ segments, stating how they help the young guys, that they’re not there to be selfish and that they’re there to put over the young guys. Then why in the hell, did they NOT put over Beer Money Inc. at Lockdown? Was it because it was in Philly, your ‘hometown’ so to speak? Brother Ray, Brother Devon, since when did you guys become Bret Hart? It shouldnt matter if your ‘home’ or away, if the jobs to be done, then the jobs to be done. There is absolutely no reason why Team 3D should be the Tag Team Champions at this moment. It seems that you lie to your wrestling school, when you say you help the young guys, because all you done at Lockdown, was squash all the momentum James Storm and Robert Roode had. Thanks a lot Team 3D.

Suicide needs to be someone new, and not guys like Daniels or Kaz. if Suicide was a new guy, then you could have guys like Daniels, Kaz and Suicide on the roster, whereas this way, only one of Daniels and Kaz can be on the roster, otherwise one will be pulling double-duty every night. Daniels has just come back to the roster as himself, but he also donned the Suicide outfit for Lockdown, which means he wrestled two matches in the night, when he shouldnt of had to. Many people could complain as to why you turned a video game character into a real-life character, but I’m not one of those. The only thing that upsets me about Suicide, is that it isnt someone new in that suit.

Angelina Love won the KnockOuts belt. It gives Awesome Kong the chance for some time off, which is a good thing. However, is it such a godd thing for everything else. The Beautiful People is a good heel group in the KnockOuts division, especially since Kute Kip stopped hanging around, and they recruited Madison Rayne. The problem with Angelina Love with the belt is this, she has zero ability. It would be like, Lauren winning the belt. Thats how much ability she has, and plus, it will probably lead to a rift between Love and fellow members Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne, which will lead to the break-up of the group, which can only mean bad things for TNA. Sure, they have SoJo Bolt and Rhaka Khan as heels, but against the face core of Taylor Wilde, Roxxi, ODB, Kong, Raisha Saeed and Daffney, it is pivotial in this columnist’s opinion that they dont break up the Beautiful People over the title. But I suppose, like everything else in the world, only time will tell.

MotorCity Machine Guns retained the belts. Nice to see TNA actually see them as a Tag Team champion, even if it is only the Junior IWGP Tag Team Champions. They’re still champions. A note to Team 3D, have these guys beat you for your Tag gold. Thats right, you say you help the young guys, but you’d just rather squash. Sorry for suggesting you actually lose clean.

ODB won Queen of the Cage, thus becoming #1 contender for the KnockOuts title. Who is that guy with her? Since when did they hire Joe Dirt? JT would’ve been a better winner.

Abyss, Matt Morgan, Tean Jarrett and Team Angle? Meh.

Sting and Mick Foley. We have a new champion folks, and it’s Mick Foley. You know Mick Foley, he was thrown off a cage in 1996. He won his first major title as Mankind in 1998. It’s nice to see Sting putting over the young guys. Great job, Sting! I dont care how good the match may have been. It’s a joke that Foley is champ. Isnt he the Commish, or the Executive Shareholder or something like that? How can an authority figure win the belt? It’s like when Vince McMahon won the 1998 Royal Rumble, only Foley’s win makes no sense. Foley equals Ratings, bullshit. Pushing the young guys, and providing an actual wrestling show. That equals Ratings.

WWE Backlash

The Pay-Per-View is this Sunday. You think i’m lying don’t you? I promise you, I’m not. I wish I was though, because the matches they are providing doesnt exactly show a ‘great’ PPV. let me show you.

The Main Event has the Legacy (Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes), face off against the team of Shane McMahon, Batista and the WWE Champion, Triple H. The stipulation is as follows. If any members of Randy Orton’s team wins, then Randy Orton wins the title, however, if any members of Triple H’s team wins, then Triple H retains the title. Judging by the tension between Shane and Batista on RAW the past weeks, and Batista’s spear on Shane during the Orton/HHH NoDQ match on RAW this past week, I can say with great security, that Batista gets the pin for his team, then lays claim to the title, and challenges Triple H.

John Cena defends the World Heavyweight Championship, against the former holder, Edge, in a Last Man Standing match. Is it just me, or have these two feuded since New Year’s Revolution 2007, when Edge cashed in Money in the Bank, after Cena survivng the Elimination Chamber? This is about the only match that these two havent competed in against each other, besides Hell In A Cell. Cena doesnt interest me, and Edge, well, maybe with Vickie Guerrero on RAW now, he can become a heel on his own accord, rather than using the likes of Lita, and Vickie to help him get there.

Jack Swagger defends the ECW Championship against Christian. Yes, really. The ECW Title is being defended on Pay-Per-View. Shocking. Anyways, after the four-way, three-match elimination process, which saw Mark Henry, Tommy Dreamer and Finlay eliminated. Christian winds up as number one contender. This gives them one-week, two shows (ECW and Superstars), to build this match into any insignificance. With Swagger’s poor performance at No Way Out, many say he’s being punished. If that’s the case, then Swagger has an uphill ride ahead of him if he wants to get back to the levels he’s at now.

Chris Jericho vs Ricky Steamboat. It seems those in the WWE were impressed with Steamboat’s performance at Wrestlemania, that they’ve decided to book him in a match, against Jericho. Another match with pretty much zero buildup, which doesnt sound good. However, we know Jericho can go, it depends on if Steamboat can go at least ten minutes to make this match anything.

Jeff Hardy faces his brother Matt in an ‘I Quit’ match. This sure seems to be the PPV for gimmicks, doesnt it? I thought their gimmick PPV was a entitled ‘Extreme Rules’ and it was in June? Hmmm, I must be mistaken. This looks like the match to end the feud between the Hardy Boyz, which has stemmed since the Survivor Series. The fans utterly adore Jeff, so let’s hope he puts over his brother Matt, to give him the push. Otherwise, it’s a TNA-story all over again.

Khali kissing ‘Santina’ on Khali-kiss cam? Your kidding me, right? No? This is really happening. A guy in drag, is gonna kiss a big, useless guy whose claim to fame is being an extra in the re-make of the Longest Yard. I will use a quote, from US tennis great John McEnroe here when I say “You can’t be serious”.

CM Punk vs Kane? Since when? Apparently, this match stems from the end of the Money in the Bank ladder match at Wrestlemania, in which Punk kicked Kane off the ladder, in order to grab the briefcase. The only other build-up this match has had, was a match on RAW between the two (remember, CM Punk and Kane were both drafted to SmackDown!, so why are they competing on RAW is my question), in which Punk countered the Chokeslam into a roll-up into a three count. Why do I get the feeling that Backlash is like one big jigsaw, that has been put together very rushed and all the pieces are in the wrong spot.

This PPV doesnt make me think it’s a must-watch, or even a maybe-watch. Maybe it’s the PPV after Wrestlemania. Maybe it’s the rush job they have done in creating matches, or maybe it’s me wanting to watch SummerSlam ’99 again. Whatever the reason, I’m staying away from Backlash.

WWE Vintage Collection

This, I have to say, is the only WWE show, I enjoy watching. For those who havent seen it, it’s hosted by ‘Mean’ Gene Okerlund, and it’s an hour log show, remembering the shows of yesteryear. Anything from past Wrestlemanias, to U.K. only specials, to weekly shows from the 80s. It’s an old-school fan’s delight, and now, starting this week, I am recapping this show for WorldWrestlingInsanity.com, due to leave taken by their usual recapper. Whether it’s only a part-time gig, or whether it’s a more permanent role remains to be seen, but my first recap from what I understand, will appear at WorldWrestlingInsanity.com today! Go check it out, and enjoy the Battle Royal at Royal Albert Hall from October 3, 1991.

That’s it for another Wednesday. Be sure to check back each and every day for various columns and results from the fellow Bored Wrestling Fan crew. But, from this columnist, I bid you adieu.

The post Hey Hey It’s Wednesday! appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

I havent told anyone yet, and the only people who know are those involved, however, during Aaron Wood’s time off from WWI. RDLee is covering SmackDown!, and … Yours truly will be covering the Vintage Collection.

My weekly Wednesday column will still be here, but I will writing for WWI for the next few weeks as well.

The post Today aint Wednesday, so why am I here? appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

For those playing at home, the WWE Draft was this past Monday night for all you American viewers, and for those expecting Mel Kiper Jr., i’m sorry to say, you were sadly disappointed. With everyone trying to work out which superstar will end up where, I went to the King of Drafts, Mel Kiper Jr. for his thoughts. Mel Kiper’s Draft picks.

The WWE Supplemental Draft airs today at 12PM, and rather than post the results here (I have connections), Joe will bring you the results LIVE, exclusive to BoredWrestlingFan! (then they will appear on every other wrestling website you can find). Although, I will give you one hint. ECW will draft more people than they did in the LIVE draft Monday night.

What else has happened in the wrestling world. TNA have a PPV coming up.

I wish they would air ROH’s weekly show in Australia. I have been wanting to see some real wrestling for a long, long time, and now they tease me with showing ROH in the US. The hell with watching it online. I want to watch it on my TV screen. Make this right.

Got a girlfriend’s birthday coming up? Maybe an anniversary? You just cant find the perfect gift? Listen to my friends the Lonely Island, and with help from the famous JT, they show you the perfect birthday present.

I still have no entries for the competition I started in last week’s column. I don’t want a hundred entries, I’d be happy with one, so I can declare a winner and move on with life, but you people just want this to hang over my head for a few weeks. I’ll let it slide this time, but next time. Well, I may not be as friendly.

Finally, for this Wednesday, I’m going to talk about the UEFA Champions League. Football you ask? Soccer you ask more? Why are you ending your column about that? Simple. My favourite club side. FC Bayern Munchen of Germany played in the Second Leg of the Quarter Finals against FC Barcelona of Spain. Now, Barcelona had a 4-0 lead from the First Leg in Spain, and with the return leg in Germany, Baywern couldnt get the job done, only being able to provide a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, in the other game, two English clubs, Chelsea and Liverpool squared off at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s home ground. In the first leg, Chelsea managed to beat Liverpool, at Liverpool’s home ground by a score of 3-1. I could tell you what happened in the second leg between these two sides, but instead, the match was so good, I have decided to show you all the highlights. Enjoy.

That’s it for another week. Keep your browser at BoredWrestlingFan.com for the latest and greatest in all things of the world.

The post Every time it’s Wednesday I Jizz In My Pants. appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Welcome lads, lasses and haemaphs. It’s me once again, on yet another Wednesday, fresh off Real-Time for WrestleMania XXV. For those who didnt catch it, then read the thread, situated just a couple of posts down. For those that did, then let’s continue.

If you remember, my head and my heart gave their predictions for WMXXV. Well the results are in! My head picked a grand total of … 2! Undertaker, and the 25th Diva, Santina Marella. My heart on the other hand, didnt get all 9, but still beat my head. My heart picked 4. Triple H, Chris Jericho, Santina Marella and Matt Hardy. These results leave one question. Is it better to pick with your head, or your heart? When it came to WMXXV? Your heart was the one you should’ve went for.

Onto non-Wrestlemania news. Batista is back.

Onto news that people will care about, Tank Johnson has signed a 1-year deal with the Bengals. The same Tank Johnson who, well I’ll let his Wikipedia page tell you. The link is the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Johnson.

With Lockdown less than two weeks away, the only match I care about, is of course the Tag Title match between Team 3D and the one and only, Beer Money Inc. The rest of the card can go to hell. Anything that involves Kurt Angle, I’m trying to ignore him, in an attempt he goes away. It hasnt worked so far, but these things don’t happen overnight.

Finally, in conjuction with vincerussowatcheshisbeardgrow.com, I am starting a competition. It’s based on this commercial for Roses chocolates Commercial. In it, it says that by thanking someone, you give them a box of Roses chocolates. For example, Thank you very much for watering my garden, and you give them chocolates. What this competititon is, well, it’s simple. What’s the most inapproapriate thing you can think of, yet be thanked with Roses chocolates?

Thank you very much for … then you add the rest.

For those who dont understand, I’ll give you a few examples. Thank you very much for … killing my family. Thank you very much for … making me sit through a Kurt Angle match. Now, those examples cant be used, but surely you can come up with better ones than that. The competiton ends soon, so get a-creating.

Thats all for this Wednesday, I have been the one they call ‘Legend Killer’, asking you,  Would you like some knives?

or

Maybe you’d like these knives?

The post W is for Wednesday, Wrestlemania and … appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Intercontinental Championship

John Bradshaw Layfield (c) vs Rey Mysterio

The head says JBL wins, and with Tazz not renewing his contract, he retires again and joins JR on commentary.

The heart agrees.

the Annual Money In The Bank Ladder Match

CM Punk vs Kane vs Mark Henry vs Finlay vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs Kofi Kingston vs Christian

Everyone seems to think, that this will be the first year that the winner of the MITB, will not win the title, when they do cash in the case. However, i’m going to use some logistics. Edge won the first MITB, was a heel, and won sneakily. RVD was next, was a facee, and he won at ECW One Night Stand, after challenging John Cena. CM Punk was last year’s winner, was also face, and beat Edge, sneakily.

According to the past, two faces and one heel have won. According to the current champions, two heels and one face are champions. The Champions might change, but the MITB winner is the biggest tweener in the history.  The head says Kane, the heart says Kane. Kane challenges for the World Heavyweight Championship, and loses.

A 25 woman’s Diva Battle Royal including Melina, Maryse, Mickie James, Gail Kim, Michelle McCool, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Alicia Fox, Kelly Kelly, Maria, Eve Torres, Katie Lea Burchill, Beth Phoenix, Layla El, Rosa Mendes, Candice Michelle, Natalya, Jillian Hall, Tiffany, Tammy “Sunny” Sytch, Victoria, Molly Holly, Jackie Gayda-Hass, Mae Young and one more unannounced to crown Miss Wrestlemania.

The head and heart agree again. Whomever the unannounced Diva is.

Extreme Rules match

Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy

The head says Jeff. The heart doesnt care, but reluctantly says Matt.

WWE Tag Team Championship and World Tag Team Championship

Carlito and Primo (c) vs John Morrison and the Miz (c)

Again, it looks straight-forward. The head and the heart say with the second best Tag Team in wrestling today. John Morrison and the Miz.

3-on-1 Handicap Match

Chris Jericho vs Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka, Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat and ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper w/ ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair

The heart says Jericho. It does. However, the head says the Legends.

World Heavyweight Championship

for the love of Vickie Guerrero

Edge (c) vs John Cena vs Big Show

The stipulation of the love of Vickie Guerrero, makes the head choose Edge. However, the heart wants a new champion, the Big Show.

WWE Championship

Triple H (c) vs Randy Orton

The heart has three certain choices every year. Triple H is one of them, so the heart says Triple H. However, the head thinks this way. Why push Randy Orton up to be the big heel on campus, and not have him win the title? The head says Randy Orton.

Which leaves us just one match ….

Shawn Michaels vs the Undertaker

Mr. Wrestlemania versus the Streak. Undertaker is 16-0 at Wrestlemania, but never before, has he faced the man, whom always seems to steal the show, when it comes to Wrestlemania. How I said earlier, that the heart has three choices, and that Triple H was one? HBK and the Undertaker, are the other two, so the heart is undecided. The head however, doesn’t see the streak breaking, so the head chooses the Undertaker. The heart is torn between two, but thinks the streak could be broken. The heart chooses Shawn Michaels.

Let’s recap just what the heart and the head have chosen.

Head: JBL, Kane, the 25th Diva, Jeff, Miz/Morrison, Legends, Edge, Orton, Undertaker

Heart: JBL, Kane, the 25th Diva, Matt, Miz/Morrison, Jericho, Show, Trips, HBK

The post Even more ‘Mania thoughts and predictions appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

It seems that the folks at BoredWrestlingFan.com, liked my first column, and have allowed me back for a second week, and with this being Wrestlemania 25 week, I’m here to talk about the WWE’s biggest PPV of the year! Or not.

For you see, in a little over two weeks from now, Total Nonstop Action have a PPV entitled ‘Lockdown’, in which every match takes place, inside of the ‘Six Sides of Steel’. The main event of this event pits the TNA World Champion ‘the Icon’ Sting, against the man of many personas, ‘the Hardcore Legend’ Mick Foley.  Two of the oldest, rundown names in TNA go one-on-one for the gold, in a company that is apparently pushing the ‘younger’ talent up the ranks.

Also announced for this PPV, is the New Japan Tag Team Champions, Team 3D, against the TNA Tag Team Champions, Beer Money Inc., in which both sets of titles will be on the line. The event is in Philadelphia, Team3D’s second home you could say, since ECW was based in Philly, so the likeliness of having new TNA Tag Champs, is very likely. However, like I said last week, if your pushing the young guys, have Beer Money win. Even in their little ‘Roughcuts’ interview segment with Brother Ray, he said that he’s there to help the young guys, and put them over. I’m the biggest Beer Money fan I know. I wear my James Storm ‘Sorry About Your Damn Luck’ T-Shirt with pride. If Team 3D win, then TNA inches another step closer to becoming WCW.

Then of course, there’s Lethal Lockdown, where teams of 4 or 5, depending on the year, battle each other to determine which is the better team. The team captains for the match, Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe, which were decided in a 20-man Gauntlet inside the steel, will pick their partners to face the other team. Now Kurt has already gone on record, in picking his team, fellow Main Event Mafia members Booker T, Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash. Samoa Jow on the other hand, doesnt want to be Captain. He just wants to match Jeff Hardy for ridiculous face paint, and carry a blade around with him, to make him look tough. Expect Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles and Eric Young to be Joe’s partners.

Onto a topic, of a non-wrestling related manner, Jenson Button, driving for Brawn GP, led a 1-2 for his team in the first race of the Formula One season, after Sebastien Vettel, driving for RedBull Racing, and Robert Kubica, driving for BMW-Sauber, collided with each other with three laps to go, whilst sitting second and third respectively. After the 1-2 finish in Melbourne, Australia, Brawn GP decided to sack 270 of its workers. What a way to celebrate,you helped win us the race, now we dont need you. Also, the Brawn GP cars are sponsored by Richard Branson run, Virgin. Does that now mean, that because one of the cars sponsored by Virgin, won the race, will be false advertising for the rest of the year, because it won its first race? I thought you weren’t a Virgin after your first?

Awesome Kong is NOT a match with Al Bundy.

Did You Know? Phillip Seymour Hoffman, is Kurt Angle’s second cousin.

Enjoy the rest of Wrestlemania week! (This coming from the one person, who didnt talk about Wrestlemania in his column.)

The post Your Wednesday Fix appeared first on BoredWrestlingFan.com.

Have you ever wondered that your wrestling week, just doesnt seem complete? I mean, there’s RAW on Mondays, ECW Tuesdays, iMPACT Thursdays, Smackdown! Fridays, the new ROH show on Saturdays and a Pay-Per View on Sunday. Why is there nothing wrestling-related happening on Wednesdays? Well, here at BWF, things have changed. Your Wednesday night fix has arrived!

BWF’s newest columnist is here to save those from complete and utter boredom, and to give you about ten minutes of 100% dribble, as I, ramble on, about the comings and goings, the world, not just in the wrestling business, but outside it as well.

As you can tell, I’m not the best with intros, so let’s get right down to business.

TNA Lockdown

This PPV will have Sting and Mick Foley main eventing, with the TNA Championship on the line. Now, didnt Jeff Jarrett, say several weeks ago, that he wanted to push young, up and coming talent, and create new stars for TNA? Then why are two guys, who made names for themselves somewhere else, wrestling for the world title, instead of these “up and coming” stars you say you have? It’s about time, that you stop relying on known stars that will get you your 1.1 rating, and start taking chances on guys that havent received their shot.

Danny Bonaduce vs Eric Young? Are you f*cking serious? Even though Eric Young sucks, he must’ve pissed Kurt Angle off real bad to get drawn this rubbish. I mean, come on, he’s wrestling a guy, who was a child star in the Partridge Family, and now, had a reality show about him, in which the only thing it was good for, was watching Joel McHale on E!’s ‘The Soup’, take the piss out of it each week. Bonaduce is washed up, why are TNA even bringing this guy in? Do they think that Danny Bonaduce = buyrates? I think not.

Team 3D vs Beer Money Inc. The PPV is in Philly. ECW originated in Philly. Team 3D, just happened to be a big part of ECW back in the day, which means, that chances are, Team 3D will walk away with all the tag gold, except the Tag belts around the waists of MMG. Now, if I was booking this match, I would have Beer Money win. Here’s why. You want to push talent up the ranks? Who better than the best Tag Team in wrestling right now? Robert Roode and James Storm are the only reason I watch TNA. What a better way to push these guys up, than to have them beat Team 3D, in Team 3D’s own backyard? It wont happen, but it should happen.

WWE Wrestlemania XXV

Edge, Cena, Big Show. Apparently, all three of these guys, want a piece of the ugliest thing going around. Now I’ve dated some ugly broads in my time, but Vickie Guerrero, you are one ugly sumbitch. From how I see it, no matter which way you look at it, there isnt a winner in this match. Is the World Heavyweight Championship, really worth Vickie Guerrero in your bed?

Triple H vs Randy Orton. Is there anything Triple H cant do before he gets jail time? Is there anything else that can be done to build up this match? The answer to both questions is no, and that’s sad really, because there is still two weeks of build up left.

Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. The Streak vs Mr. Wrestlemania. Undertaker is 16-0 at Wrestlemania. Thats impressive to say the least. The New England Patriots were also 16-0. They won two more games before falling to the New York Giants. The Undertaker has beaten 17 different wrestlers going into Wrestlemania 25. Comparing the Patriots to the Undertaker, it seems that Undertaker will win at the Wrestlemania as well. But this time, the Undertaker doesnt have to face Nathan Jones and A-Train, or Giant Gonzalez, or Mark Henry. He faces Shawn Michaels. The same Shawn Michaels who lasted over an hour with Bret Hart at Wrestlemania XII, to win his first WWF Championship. The same Shawn Michaels who competed in the first ever Ladder match at Wrestlemania. The same Shawn Michaels, that no matter who his opponent is, always seems to have the best match, on a Wrestlemania card. Which leaves one question. Will Shawn Michaels be the New York Giants of the wrestling world? If the Undertaker cruicifies Marty Jannetty in the next two weeks, the answer is yes. Otherwise, I think Taker may stay undefeated.

Legends of Wrestlemania

This game is the latest installment of wrestling games by THQ, to celebrate 25 years of Wrestlemania. Does it live up to the hype? Maybe. I was in a games shop today, browsing around because I have some money to burn, and was listening to the two guys in this games store talk about LoW. Neither of them have played the game, but one didnt like what he heard. He was complaining about the game being ‘too arcadey’ for his liking. I tend to agree in this aspect, otherwise, I see little complaint. Sure, I’d like to see more Legends represented in the game than 42, but the addition of being able to import the wrestlers from SmackDown! vs RAW 2009 onto the game, makes up for that. Sure, pinfalls are a pain to kick out of, but if you are good enough at the game, you shouldnt be getting yourself in that position. This game doesnt have it all, but it gives those who love nostalgia the chance to have a blast from the past, and pit their favourite wrestlers of yesteryear against each other, or have dream matchups against the current day superstars. This game gets a 4 out of 5. Like I said, it could be improved in some places, but it’s easy to pick up controls, and the variety of wrestlers on the game, means a must for all wrestling fans.

Albert Park roars in the twilight

The Formula One season starts its 2009 in Melbourne, Australia at the Albert park street circuit this weekend, and for the first time in its history, it will be a twilight race, to ensure that European viewers can watch the race live, at a more convienent time for them. With new rules and guidelines, new drivers and teams, plus a later starting time, could make this version of the race, the most exciting race. Australian hopes lie with Mark Webber, who drives for Red Bull Racing. However, during the Mark Webber Challenge, held each year in Tasmania, Webber was struck by a four-wheel drive whilst on a mountain bike, and broke his leg. It hasnt affected his testing for Red Bull racing this year, but Webber says that is comfortable behind the wheel of his race car, and that the most trouble he has at the moment, is walking. For those, who may watch this race, look out for Ferrari’s pair of  Kimi Raikkonen from Finland, and Felipe Massa from Brazil, Briton Lewis Hamilton, who drives a McLaren Mercedes and Renault driver, Fernando Alonso of Spain, to be the front runners.

Thats it for the first installment of Wednesday Night Delight.  Your weekly fix is now complete.
