  1. RYTMANS RAW REVIEW 10/15/2012

    Leave a Comment

    We open with a recap of last week’s main event, Punk vs. Vince. The match ends with Punk running into the stands and Vince demanding that Punk choose either Cena or Ryback to face at Hell in the Cell, or Vince will choose for him.
    The show begins with the Show – Big Show to be exact. He complains about the “joke” debate he had with Sheamus, demands we watch the recap of him blocking a Brogue Kick, (we do,) and challenges Daniel Bryan to face him in a match, to avenge his 45 second world title reign.

    Backstage, R-Truth tells “Little Jimmy” to pay close attention to the monitor. Bryan refuses to go out. RAW GM AJ Lee orders him to go, Kane-his tag team partner-laughs at the thought of having Bryan’s back. Bryan shouts “NO!” Santino and Ryder shout “YES!” Bryan shouts “NO!” R-Truth shouts “YES!” Bryan shouts “NO,” to Little Jimmy, everyone shouts “YES!” Bryan walks to the ring, and rips up a young fan’s paper “goat face” mask.
     BIG SHOW VS WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPION(S) DANIEL BRYAN – Competitive match that goes more than 45 seconds. Bryan hits multiple high-spots however this ends with a choke-slam and a three-count for the Big Show. After the match, Kane comes out to gloat – at first, but when Show teases a WMD, Kane jumps in and protects Bryan.
    After a break, we have Paul Heyman in the ring with a covered easel. He introduces our WWE champion for the past 330 days, C.M. Punk. Punk refers to J.R. as “good ol’ bucket head,” and makes it clear he doesn’t care who it is…
    “Disrespect me, I put you down.” – C.M. Punk
    Punk goes on to reference last week’s show where “typical Vince,” tried to make the show all about himself (author’s note: as opposed to?) and how Punk slapped him in the face, and how two Superstars – Cena and Ryback – had to save him. He then shows us the Hell in the Cell poster, depicting him as the Devil. Punk claims to be an angel compared to any of us, and while he feels angels and devils “don’t exist,” he is willing to play “make believe” with us “for five minutes,” and refers to Cena and Ryback as “the devil you know,” (Cena) vs. “The devil you don’t know” (Ryback.) Punk teases the reveal of his choice by going over to the easel, then decides we need to learn to be patient, and decides he needs more time. This brings out Vince McMahon to tell him he “blew it,” and by the end of the night, there will be a contract signing where Vince will choose Punk’s challenger.
    “Your fate, at Hell in the Cell, is now in my hands, respect that”- Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
    Now you’re probably wondering “isn’t this the same thing Punk was going to do? Make us wait for the big reveal?” You’re missing the point.
    This way, we’re waiting for VINCE to make the announcement.
    After all, why would we want to focus on the WWE champion all night?
    We go to a promo for the Susan G. Komen foundation and breast cancer awareness month, with Layla telling us about losing her mom to breast cancer. If this is true (and I am NOT calling Layla a liar, I’m speaking in terms of work/shoot,) then I have a whole new respect for Layla.
    Back from break, we have a recap of Randy Orton surprising Alberto Del Rio on Smackdown last Friday.
    ALBERTO DEL RIO VS BRODUS CLAY – Del Rio’s aggressiveness completely negates any advantage Clay’s size/strength might give him. Despite some hard shots, Del Rio’s agility and attack on the left arm gets him the victory w/the arm breaker.
    Backstage: Punk is NOT happy with this turn of events. He sends Heyman to challenge Vince to a rematch from last week. Heyman goes, reluctantly.
    Santino Morella and Zack Ryder head to the ring as we go to break.
    PRIME TIME PLAYERS VS CO-BRO (SANTINO/RYDER) – Match is in progress as we come back from break. The match breaks down into a quick spot-fest with Titus O’Neal hitting a D-Lo Brown style power-bomb/spin-buster and getting the tree-count for the PTP.
    After the match, Santino gets a beat down from Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, and Drew McIntyre, now in matching outfits, and officially known as “3MB.”
    After a break, we get a recap of Vince’s ultimatum to Punk.
    Vicki Guerro asks us to “EXCUSE” her, so she can introduce Dolph Ziggler. Dolph cuts a promo on Ryback and demands a shot at Punk. David Otunga comes out, cuts a promo on Ziggler and Vicki, and demands a shot at punk. AJ Lee comes out, and puts them in a handicap match against Ryback.
    RYBACK VS SHO-TUNGA (DOLPH ZIGGLER/DAVID OTUNGA) – Ziggler bails on his partner, and Ryback shell-shocks Otunga for the win.
    What was supposed to happen?
    Backstage; Vince is on the phone when he’s interrupted by “a plague of locusts.” Paul Heyman – plague in question – proposes a rematch with Punk where, if Punk “should happen” to win, he gets to pick his opponent for HitC. Vince counter-offers with the idea of HEYMAN facing Vince in the ring for Punk’s option to choose. Heyman starts whining and Vince shouts him out of the office, because that wouldn’t have been interesting.
    Elsewhere backstage; Matt Stryker requests an apology from team “Hell No,” for their attack on him last Friday on Smackdown, he makes the mistake of using the word “crazy,” and AJ puts him in a match w/Kane.
    After the break, we see video of Cena being named honorary captain of the NY Jets football team. I’m sure that won’t come back to haunt anyone.
    U.S. CHAMPION ANTONIO CESARO VS JUSTIN GABRIEL – Cesaro is getting the reverse booking of Ryback, getting hard fought wins while making his opponents look good. Gabriel gets in a lot of offense, including a sic 450 off the top, but it ends with Cesaro hitting the “Neutralizer” for the three-count.
    After the break, we see Matt Stryker in the ring, and Kane makes his entrance w/pyro.
    WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPION(S) KANE VS MATT STRYKER – Stryker tries to talk his way out of this match, Kane agrees to “hug it out” w/him. Kan doesn’t let go however, and after a vicious shaking, Stryker takes a choke-slam. Kane decides to “interview” an unconscious Stryker and loudly declares “I AM THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!”
    We get a recap of the lousy Larry King segment from last week and a promo for “MizTV” after the break.
    We come back to the MizTV segment. I’ll cut to the chase. Miz insults Kofi, Kofi challenges him to a match, Miz says Kofi will never be more than his catch phrase, Kofi jumps Miz and trashes the set.  According to the announce team, AJ has confirmed the match.

    Back from break, we get a recap of the Big Show catching Sheamus by the foot and tossing him out of the ring last week.

    WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SHEAMUS VS WADE BARRETT – Hard fought brawl with the pace slowly building while the tide turns back and forth. After the first few minutes, Big Show comes out to ringside as we go to commercial.

    Back from the break, Sheamus and Barrett trade heavy shots and take turns tossing each other around, until Show pulls down the top rope, and Sheamus goes over and out to the floor. Sheamus gets the DQ, and gets in a Brogue kick to Barrett before sending Show out the ring w/a clothesline.

    After a recap of the Vince/Punk face off, we get Vince in the back with Cena. Vince asks Cena about what his doctor said, Cena says it doesn’t matter, and tells Vince it’s up to him.

    Divas Champion Eve comes out to the ring as we go to break.
    DIVAS CHAMPION EVE TORRES VS LAYLA (DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP) – We get a quick recap of how Eve got the title shot at Night Of Champions after Kaitlyn (who Layla was supposed to face) was injured by a “mysterious attacker.” Match is better than you’d expect with the exception of a few unconvincing kicks by Layla, and ends with the ref counting three on Layla despite her foot being on the ropes. Eve knocks it off after the three-count but before the ref sees it.

    We go to a spot with Stephanie McMahon speaking about the WWE’s partnership with NothingButNets.com, a charity for underprivileged youth.

    Backstage; Kane is laughing at Bryan’s misfortune after facing Big Show. Bryan dares Kane to face Big Show next week.
    Rhodes Scholars come out for their tag match, after the break.

    We come back with 3MB rushing the stage at a nearby bar. They act like they’re going to play but security throws them out.

    RHODES SCHOLARS (CODY RHODES/DAMIEN SANDOW) VS PRIMO/EPICO W/ROSA – We are told the tag team tournament finals will be next week, when Cody and Damien face Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara. This is a solid but standard tag with Rhodes and Sandow getting the win.

    INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION THE MIZ VS KOFI KINGSTON – Quick hard fought match ends with Miz taking a SCARY “trouble in paradise” kick to the face. Kofi gets a three-count and Miz gets an open head wound.

    We get an announcement of the Rolling Stones PPV concert sponsored by WWE.

    The show ends with the HitC contract signing. Punk goes off on Vince but Cena interrupts him, and actually hypes the crow into a “FEED ME MORE” chant. The show ends with Vince giving Ryback the shot and Ryback giving Punk the shell-shock.

  2. Smackdown 09/21/12

    Leave a Comment

    Sigh. What can I say? Night of Champions was actually really good. Nobody had a near-death experience on RAW, you would think all is right in the world. But sadly no, see the NHL is locked out. Yes, this is a wrestling site, true. But, man I share the sentiments of many fans who have disdain for both the owners and the players stealing the NHL from us over greed. Terrible. Perhaps Smackdown will lift my spirits? Perhaps some one might show up on the program we haven’t seen in a while? Let’s hop to it, shall we?

  4. PatMan Picks Stampede Wrestling Classics: Bad News Allen (Brown) vs Owen Hart.

    Leave a Comment

    Welcome to another episode of classic wrestling here at Wonderpodonline.com. As usual, we will travel back in time once again to our destination of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The home of Stampede Wrestling! This time its Owen Hart, the future WWF tag team champion, “slammy” award winner and the man destined to become the “king of Harts” in the WWF. His opponent in this match is a famous Stampede Wrestling veteran by the name of Bad news Allen. You will likely know Bad news Allen as Bad news Brown from his time wrestling in the WWF in some great matches, including Wrestlemainia moments against Owens very own brother, Bret Hart. This match showcases young Owens early talents in the ring as he spends much of the match dominating Allen in the technical aspects of pro wrestling. However, this match will also show off the toughness, experience and never die attitude of Bad News Allen that made him a star and a multi time champion both in Calgary and around the world.  Worth noting near the end of the video is the appearance of Owens greatest rival in Stampede Wrestling ,Makhan Singh, who was also known as Bastian Booger in the WWF ( I still feel so, so ,sorry for him about that terrible gimmick). Enjoy the fun, excitement and action of this match and I will return with another PatMan Picks Stampede Wrestling Classic next week! In the mean time and in between time ,check out www.wonderpodonline.com for more PatMan picks PC classics and also wonderpod videogame podcast!

  5. RAW review 10/12/09

    1 Comment

    To quote the underrated band Unwritten Law, “I’m sick of my sickness.”  I feel like crap right now, so my goal tonight is to do as little as possible to get through this review before I turn it over to whomever tonight’s BWF guest host will be.

    Chris Jericho kicks things off, explaining WWE Bragging Rights, explaining that the main event will be a 7 on 7 tag match between RAW and SmackDown.  Jericho says he can choose whichever side he wants since he’s a Unified Tag Team Champion, but he’s been named the SmackDown team captain and plans to put together a great team.  Guest Host Nancy O’Dell interrupts and tells him that we don’t start RAW with him, we start it with DX.

    BREAK IT DOWN!

    Shawn Michaels and Triple H make their way out to the ring.  Or at least, Triple H does. Mark Eaton, the timekeeper, gets in the ring and does the running around Triple H bit.  The Game says we’re doing things differently tonight.  Are you ready?

    For the thousands in attendance, the millions watching at home, and Shawn Michaels who’s not here.  He says he got a call from HBK, with whom he was going to set up the RAW team for Bragging Rights.  He could go ahead and make the team, but instead he’s going to be a true friend and call HBK at home and badger him.  HBK’s voicemail is a parody of his theme music.  HBK picks up.  Triple H and the DX Army want to know where he is.  He says his daughter got sick and he had to stay home.  He just put her to sleep and finished reading her a bedtime story.  Triple H asks if it was from the Unauthorized History of DX that’s on sale now, would he?  He says he wouldn’t read his daughter that crap… um… he means… he means that of course he read it!  Triple H says he reads it to his kids all the time.  HBK says goodbye to Indianapolis, and Triple H is then interrupted by Chris Jericho and The Big Show.  Jericho puts over SmackDown.  Triple H says SmackDown is a good show.  A very good show with a spineless GM that does whatever Vince says, it features a grumpy little troll who runs his mouth all the time (that’s Jericho), and it features great, great, wrestling.  Y’know, like The Great Khali.  Triple H says it’s nowhere near the league of RAW (Editor Note: He’s right.  It’s in a much much better league).  Jericho says that he’s going to take The Big Show for the SmackDown team despite the fact that he’s a RAW Superstar.  Triple H says that Jericho’s the boss, then makes a couple of gay jokes.  Show says that he and Jericho are equals, and Big Show carries the team.  Jericho asks him what he just said.  Show says he’s not the one who got pinned last week.  Jericho says he’s not the one who was the laughing stock of Sportscenter after being humiliated by Shaquille O’Neil.  Show says that at least he didn’t get punked out by a 200 Year Old fossil named Bob Barker.  Jericho says he’d face Barker anywhere in the world.  Jericho says he’s the best in the world at what he does, and he’s made The Big Show a champion.  He’s no longer known as the guy who got knocked out at WrlestleMania 24 by Floyd Mayweather.  Big Show tells Triple H he’s changed his mind and wants to be on the RAW team at Bragging Rights.  Triple H says it’s the greatest news he’s heard, but unfortunately they don’t have any spaces open.  He says he’ll do him a favor though.  He’s been given the authority to earn his slot on the RAW team.  All he’s got to do is win his match tonight.  Show says he can do it.  His opponent tonight is Chris Jericho.  Oh yeah, and that match is now.  The Tag Team Champions don’t look happy as Triple H leaves.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    From some of our friends on Twitter:

    @fozzyfan: They ruined a perfect opening of Raw by interrupting @IAmJericho for Triple Nose? Thumbs DOWN

    @IAmJHPunk: How did HHH already talk to the guest host & get permission 2 make the match when he barely found out that Show wants 2 switch? #wwerawfail

    The Big Show def. Chris Jericho

    Big Show tries to calm Jericho down, but Jericho keeps slapping him.  Show slaps him off the top rope, and Jericho falls to the floor clutching his knee.  Show goes to help him up, and Jericho tries to sneak back into the ring before the 10 count.  Show prevents that from happening and gets back in the ring himself for the count out victory.

    Maria Menudos is standing by with Legacy.  She asks how they’re doing and if they should be on team RAW at Bragging Rights.  They both think they should be.  There will be a triple threat match later tonight, and the winner will be on Team RAW.  It’s Rhodes vs. DiBiase vs. Cena.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    From the Twitterverse:

    @leomc2: what a waste of 30 minutes that was #wwe #raw

    @dasharpshooters: John Cena wants to qualify? dude is in a IRON MAN MATCH. #supercena #wwe #raw

    The Indiana Pacers are in the house.  And The Diva’s Champion is here – out first for a title defense.  Tradition be damned.  Apparently, Mickie James’ challenger is Jillian.  How the hell did that happen?

    Jillian Hall def. Mickie James to become the new WWE Diva’s Champion?!?

    Um.  What?  Jillian just beat Mickie James to become the Diva’s Champion?  Mickie had her foot on the ropes, but I guess it counts.

    From Twitter:  @SanzJohnson: since jill the new champ, hopefully she can get a new theme, outfit, and face! #WWE #RAW

    Jillian decides to sing Lady GuyGuy’s song “Paparazzi.”  She’s interrupted by the sounds of Lenny Kravitz’ version of “American Woman,” which brings out Nancy O’Dell.  She made a major Diva’s trade over the weekend.  Jillian is still on RAW.  The bad news for her is that she has to defend her Diva’s Championship against RAW’s newest Diva right now.  She knows a thing or two about paparazzi… MELINA IS BACK ON RAW!  Jillian scrambles to put her belt around her waist before Melina gets to the ring.

    Melina def. Jillian Hall to become the new WWE Diva’s Champion

    Well, thanks for coming, Jillian.  I wonder why Mickie dropped the title?

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    From Twitter: @BigD923: Thank you Melina, Jillian as Divas Champions would of sucked!!! #WWE #RAW

    @steverechtman: Between Nancy O’Dell and Maria Menunos, this is some of the best mic work that the #WWE had had in a very long time. #Raw

    Snoop Dogg is the guest host for next week’s RAW.

    Triple H is talking to a cardboard cutout of HBK.  Actually, he’s talking to him on speaker phone.  Shawn’s music starts playing, and Hornswoggle comes out dressed like HBK!  Shawn says he’s not watching and he’s going into the living room to see what’s going on.  Triple H says it’s gimmick infringement, and Hornswoggle hits sweet shin music on the HBK cutout.  Triple H tries to save him, but Hornswoggle knocks The Game down and gives him a crotch chop.

    Full details of the Diva trade will be available on WWE.com after RAW tonight

    Santino is with Nancy O’Dell, who is the Sexy Superfan of the Month from WWE Magazine.  Santino does his best anchor work when Beth Phoenix comes in and shoves him out of the way.  She says that she heard she’s been traded to SmackDown.  Phoenix pretty much says she’ll kick O’Dell and Menoudos’ asses.  Santino says that Maria isn’t scared, she’d compete against Phoenix in some kind of match tonight.  Santino says it’s official while O’Dell tries to tell him it’s a bad idea.  Santino says he faked every “organism” with Beth Phoenix in the past.

    Last Week: An Iron Man Match was made for Bragging Rights

    From Twitter:  @DCsPeoplesChamp: Why do they keep Hornswaggle around?  #midgetfail

    @WellYoureWrong: Okay, how drunk and or high do you have to be to sit through Cena Vs Orton for an Hour? #wwe

    @ANDaniloTheRef: Beth to SD!? I can only imagine the Matches she could have against Natalya but, the Matches ain’t gonna happen. Damn Bikini Models! #WWE

    WrestleMania 26 Tickets go on sale in 26 days.

    Legacy make their way out for their triple threat match.  John Cena comes out and we’re ready for action.

    John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Ted DiBiase

    The idea here is that Legacy are going to try and soften up Cena for his Iron Man Match at Bragging Rights, but they still want to win and get onto team RAW for Bragging Rights.  Orton came out and distracted Cena while he had DiBiase in an STF, and Rhodes rolled DiBiase up for the pinfall.

    DiBiase isn’t thrilled with being pinned, and Orton tries to get them to calm down, and Nancy O’Dell makes a match for later tonight – Legacy vs. John Cena and Randy Orton.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    From Twitter:

    @HandsomeGenius: #Raw – The they could team Rhodes with Chavo Geurrero and keep the Legacy gimmick alive.  (This tweet is far-fetched.)

    @johnnyz4282: So that was our first real match of the evening. Time, 10:13pm #wwe

    @WellYoureWrong: I’m not a big Legacy fan but Cena didn’t win so, I approve.

    The Indianapolis Colts are here, and we’ve got a Bragging Rights qualifying match set for one fall.  First, it’s the All-American American Jack Swagger, who has guaranteed he won’t lose a match for the rest of the year.  His opponent tonight is a former United States Champion, MVP!

    Jack Swagger vs. MVP

    Swagger actually won this one pretty easily.  Impressive victory for the All-American American.

    So far, team RAW is DX, Big Show, Cody Rhodes, and Jack Swagger.

    Legacy are still arguing backstage.  Orton says he won’t team with Cena and he won’t let O’Dell tell him what to do.  He’s not going to let himself get tagged in, so it’ll be a handicapped match.  DiBiase says that Rhodes is thinking what it would mean to pin both DiBiase and Orton in one night.  Rhodes says that DiBiase is thinking that he can redeem himself by pinning Orton tonight.  Orton says if that’s what they’re thinking, they’d better keep thinking.

    Kofi Kingston makes his way out for a Bragging Rights qualifier.  His opponent tonight is the high flying Evan Bourne.

    Kofi Kingston vs. Evan Bourne

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    From the Twitterverse:

    @aemckay: Kofi Kingston vs Evan Bourne? Wow. This is going to be awesome.

    @NekoEyes: Evan Bourne’s theme music is KA!

    @MigotoShiShi: Evan Bourne looks like Cody Rhodes and The Miz’s love child…

    Back from break, the match is underway.  A hard fought match, but Bourne gets caught with a Trouble In Paradise kick, giving Kofi the victory, and qualifiying him for Bragging Rights.

    The RAW team is now Big Show, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, and Kofi Kingston.  Mark Henry and Chris Masters will have the final qualifier this Thursday on Superstars.

    Triple H is still talking to Shawn Michaels when Nancy O’Dell and Maria Menoudos come in, shill the book, and ask if Maria is ready for her match tonight.  Chavo comes in and asks what’s up with Triple H and Hornswoggle.  He thinks it’s a conspiracy.  Triple H says he doesn’t like the troll anymore than Chavo does.  Chavo says he should be the captain of the RAW team.  Triple H has Menoudos kick him in the balls.  HBK says if you’re not down with that, they’ve got two words for you.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    From twitter:

    @SanzJohnson: chavo isnt a stuntman anymore..he’s on crash test dummy level #WWE #RAW

    @WellYoureWrong: If you wearing the PPV T-Shirt, You’re not going to be on said PPV. #wwe

    @BradMilner: Poor Chavo … he’d give anything to be opening on Nitro again

    It’s time for 6 Diva tag team action.  Beth Phoenix and her team (Alicia Fox and Roza Mendez) are already in the ring.  Their opponents are Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, and Maria Menoudos.  Before the match we get a sneak peek at Menoudos’ new movie, “Serial Buddies.”

    Maria Menoudos, Kelly Kell, and Gail Kim def. Beth Phoenix, Alica Fox, and Rosa Mendez.

    I stopped paying attention for a second and I missed the end of the match, but I know the faces won.

    Later tonight, it’s Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase against Randy Orton and John Cena!

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    As is customary on Monday Nights, I’ve got to take off and won’t be able to watch the RAW main event.  I’ll turn it over to this week’s BWF guest host, Drowgoddess.  Take it away, Drow!

    Hi!

    We get a recap of The Miz (and he’s awesome!) winning the US title from Kofi Kingston. Then we actually get The Miz, title and mic in hand. He tells us to show some respect to the new United States Champion. He asks if he’s bragging too much, and says to get used to it. At “Bragging Rights,” The US Champ from RAW faces the Intercontinental Champ from Smackdown, John Morrison. John Morrison was nothing more than a hairdo with abs. The Miz was the talent of their tag team. Morrison is the new Richard Simmons, who will wear bedazzled tank tops and hang out with 400-pound women while the Miz is the face of the biggest company in the world. Any promo by The Miz is, of course, AWESOME!

    Cole and Lawler run down the matches from Smackdown that will be on the ppv card, then push the Cena/Orton 60-minute Iron man match.

    Randy Orton & John Cena vs. Legacy: Orton enters first. We go to commercial. When we return, Legacy is already in the ring. Orton has the mic, and says that he just got off the phone with Snoop Dogg, next week’s guest host. Snoop agreed that since it may be Cena’s last RAW, Cena will compete in one of the biggest matches of his career next Monday night. Cena enters, and the roof is blown off. Orton jumps down off the apron and stares at Cena. Legacy bicker in their corner before DiBiase and Cena lock up. Actual mat grappling for a bit. DiBiase drives Cena into the corner with kicks and punches, and Rhodes wrenches Cena’s neck. Legacy double-teams Cena. DiBiase and Cena again. Punches fly. Rhodes locks in a variation of the Camel Clutch on Cena. After this match, we will learn who Cena’s opponent next week is. Rhodes works the submission holds, but Cena stands and plants Rhodes. Cena tags Orton in when Orton glances down, and Cena stays far away from Orton. Orton has to wrestle Rhodes, and Rhodes tries to pin Orton! Cena loves it, and Orton is surprised. DiBiase tags in and tries to pin Orton repeatedly. Orton tags Cena in, and they make constipated faces at each other. Cena lays out DiBiase, and prepares for the Attitude Adjustment, but Orton tags in right then. DiBiase tags in, and pins Orton! Orton is livid and stunned. Cena waits for Orton, and hits him with the Attitude Adjustment when he finally turns around.

    Winners: Legacy (Ted DiBiase Jr. pinned Randy Orton)

    The huge announcement of John Cena’s opponent for his possible last match ever on RAW? Triple H. No, really, it is.

    Peace out!

    (P.S. from ThinkSoJoE – thanks to all of you from the Twitterverse who kept me entertained through this show!)

  6. A case for the Hall of Fame: Chris Jericho

    2 Comments

    On June 22, 1996, Pitbull #2 was upended in a match for the ECW World Television Championship.  It was his opponent’s first championship in North America, and announcer Joey Styles noted that fact, stating that while it may have been his first title in the United States, it sure wouldn’t be his last.  Little did he know how right he’d be.

  7. SmackDown results – 1/9/09

    Leave a Comment

    Well, I haven’t had the motivation to write up a review of SmackDown from this past Friday – in fact, if anybody is interested in writing the SmackDown reviews from now on, drop a comment and let me know.  We’ve got a bit of a special case this week though – rather than copy and paste from a “Newz” site, I’ve taken it straight from the horse’s mouth.  No, not Vickie Guerrero, but from WWE.com.  The reason being, there was an angle involving WWE Champion Jeff Hardy that was added into the broadcast after it was taped, and we usually take our SmackDown results from spoilers if I can’t get a review up.

    WWE.com’s SmackDown results, after the jump! (more…)
