Hello and welcome to another edition of Random Randomness, I amyour host JT and tonight I’ll be giving my opinions on this week in wrestling, well sort of.  Well let’s get this going: (more…)

It’s a bit late, but it’s here.

Episode #530:  “SmackDown and Dirty”

This week’s WWE SmackDown is dedicated to the memory of Captain Lou Albano.

We kick off with the terrible new SmackDown theme song that is probably only used as a thinly veiled shot at TNA with the line “Do you really want to Cross The Line.”  Todd Grisham welcomes us to the University of Kentucky, where he’s hanging out at ringside with… Michael Cole!  Vintage SmackDown!  Tonight, it’s Batista vs. Rey Mysterio, and the return of The Dirt Sheet!

You know it’s the Mack Militant…

Teddy Long is in the house, and he’s excited about Bragging Rights next Sunday.  In the SmackDown vs. RAW main event at the PPV, he would like to ensure that SmackDown would be the dominant brand.  He introduces us to the captain of Team SmackDown, Chris Jericho.  Jericho heads down to the ring, and he says that Teddy Long has finally put aside prejudice and politics and made the right decision in naming him the captain of Team SmackDown.  As the face of this show, he needs to address the possibility of John Cena returning.  When Orton beats Cena, Cena will no longer be allowed to compete for the WWE Championship and will be banished from RAW, which means he’ll want to come back to SmackDown, but things have changed since Cena left, because Jericho is the man around here now.  Nobody has been more successful or dominant in the 10 year history of SmackDown, and if Cena wants to return, he’s got to go through Jericho.  Jericho is the cornerstone of SmackDown and the best in the world at what he does.  He’s the reason all of the parasites in the crowd are there tonight.  As the captain of Team SmackDown, it’s his responsibility to put together a team that will allow him to lead them to the promised land.  They’ll beat team RAW, who’s captains have written this “piece of Flotsam and Jetsam (referring to DX’s new book),” Degeneration X.  You know what Jericho thinks of DX?  He begins tearing pages out of the new DX book.  He says that’s what he’s going to do to DX at Bragging Rights.  He’ll open our eyes and we’ll truly see…

KABOOM!

Kane’s pyro goes off, and the Big Red Monster says that he and Jericho need to talk.  He’s been listening to Jericho’s every word, and he’s here to tell him that he’s now the co-captain of the SmackDown Seven.  Jericho says of course he is, he was thinking the same thing.  He was just going to announce that because the combination of Kane’s strength and Jericho’s intelligence means that the RAW team doesn’t stand a chance.  Kane says the book, DX, and all of Team RAW can go up in flames.

Still to come, Batista takes on Rey Mysterio.

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

The following contest is a Triple-Threat Bragging Rights Qualifying Match scheduled for one fall.  Chris Jericho is apparently in charge of all of these qualifying matches.  This one pits Finlay vs. Mike Knox vs. Dolph Ziggler.

Dolph Ziggler def. Mike Knox & Finlay in a Triple Threat Match

SmackDown has the best matches on all of television.  That’s through all three WWE brands and TNA.  In the end here, Finlay and Knox both went for cross-bodies, Finlay with Shillelagh in hand.  Finlay goes for a cover, but Ziggler pulls him out and covers Knox to pick up the victory!

So far, the main event for Bragging Rights is DX, The Big Show, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston, and Cody Rhodes vs. Chris Jericho, Kane, and Dolph Ziggler.

Still to come, The Dirt Sheet returns!

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

In the following tag team match, the winning team will both qualify for Team Smackdown.

Cryme Tyme def. The Hart Dynasty

You know what I don’t get?  Why they bothered to bring the Hart Dynasty up to SmackDown.  They put on great matches and all, but it seems like they’re stuck wrestling Cryme Tyme every week.  At this point, I think they’d be better off being the big fishes in the small pond of ECW.  It doesn’t help these guys that the Unified Tag Team Champions are also heels.  Speaking of which, why are Jericho and The Big Show never on ECW?  That’s a thought for another time though, as JTG picks up the victory by hitting Tyson Kidd with the Thugnificence after the distraction from Shad.

So the match at Bragging Rights is now DX, Big Show, Henry, Swagger, Kingston, and Rhodes takin on Jericho, Kane, Ziggler, and Cryme Tyme.

Still to come, Batista takes on Rey Mysterio

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

Chris Jericho is talking to Michelle McCool backstage when Teddy Long comes in.  Jericho tells her that Bragging Rights is important.  If SmackDown wins twice out of the three matches, they’ll prove their the dominant brand.  He says he can’t count on Morrison to beat The Miz, but he wants to know if he can count on Michelle.  She says she makes history and can beat any diva in any kind of match at any time.  Mickie James walks in, excited that she was excited to be chosen to be traded to SmackDown.  Mickie says that if Chris is looking for somebody to beat the RAW Divas, he should pick somebody who’s already beaten every Diva on RAW.  Michelle excuses herself but runs into Beth Phoenix, who tells her she shouldn’t count on hanging onto her title for long with The Glamazon around.

Mr. McMahon is on his cell phone when CM Punk shows up.  Punk isn’t thrilled about the fatal four way.  Mr. McMahon isn’t either.  Punk says McMahon should do something about it.  McMahon says he liked the idea Punk had last week for a Breaking Point rematch.  Punk asks if that means the four way is off.  McMahon says it’s not.  Instead, Punk vs. Undertaker in a submission match with referee Scott Armstrong as the official and Teddy Long at ringside – right here on SmackDown next week!

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

WrestleMania tickets go on sale in 22 days!

The following is a Bragging Rights qualifying match, but first, here’s Vickie Guerrero, who is booed like crazy and doing her “Excuse Me” gimmick.  She introduces, making his SmackDown debut, her new boyfriend, Eric Escobar.  His opponent tonight is from Cameron, North Carolina and wearing the ugliest purple tights this side of Men on a Mission, Matt Hardy!

Eric Escobar def. Matt Hardy

Escobar looked pretty good here, virtually dominating Matt Hardy.  In the end, however, it was a distraction of the referee by Vickie Guerrero that allowed Escobar to slam Hardy shoulder first and roll him up – hooking Matt’s Barney the Dinosaur inspired tights – for the pinfall victory.

The Bragging Rights main event is now DX, Show, Henry, Swagger, Kingston and Rhodes vs. Kane, Jericho, Cryme Tyme, Ziggler, and Escobar.

Up next, it’s the return of The Dirt Sheet!

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

In a world full of winners and losers, two men have risen above to bring you The Dirt Sheet.  The United States Champion The Miz is introduced first, followed by SmackDown’s Intercontinental Champion John Morrison.  The st is split in two – one half is red (where The Miz is sitting) and one side is blue (where Morrison is sitting).  Morrison says he’ll prove why being the Intercontinental Champion is better than – hey wait a minute – The Miz has a championship!  Is that real?  Or did he get it on WWEShop.com.  The Miz is your United States Champion.  Not only will we determine which brand is superior, we’ll find out who was the superior member of the greatest tag team of the 21st Century.   They say that throughout history, great teams have split up with one member going on to greatness and the other fading into obscurity.  Like, Mork and Mindy – you know, Robin Williams and whathername.  Bill and Ted – Ted was in The Matrix, Bill was in the unemployment line.  Wayne and Garth, Regis and Kathy Lee, and of course, The Rockers.  When they broke up, Shawn Michaels went on to become Shawn Michaels!  Marty Jannetty went on to be Marty Jannetty (wah wah wah.)  At Bragging Rights, Miz says he’ll prove he’s the Shawn Michaels and Morrison will be the Marty Jannetty.  Morrison says that Jannetty never had cool merch like he’s got.  Miz says there can’t be two Jannetty’s so in default, Morrison is the Jannetty.  Jannetty says that there can be two Jannetty’s – Marty Jannetty and Mizzy Jannetty.  They then argue about The Miz’s dating life.  Morrison says the only thing Miz has done is conformed.  He had the courage to dress like a loser.  But now he’s some strange mixture of Michael Phelps, Mr. Ed, Pink, and Big Dick Johnson.  And when you put all that together, you get The Miz.  Miz laughs it off.  He says he’s got great hair, the women love his pearly whites, and he looks good in trunks.  Morrison says he looks husky.  Morrison says Miz isn’t fat, he’s husky.  The crowd agrees.  Miz says they’re just jealous of his amazing body.  At Bragging Rights, there will be no debate – he’ll prove he’s better than Morrison.  Morrison says prove it now.  Miz says he won’t do that in this second rate city in this second rate state on this second rate show, he’ll do it on the PPV.  Morrison asks if Miz really thinks that SmackDown is the second rate show?  RAW is nothing more than a cheap imitation of Saturday Night Live.  So if you want to tune in to see the amazing star power of Al Sharpton or Nancy O’Dell, go ahead.  Who’s hosting next week, Big Bird?  If you want action, entertainment, and the Friday Night Delight, you tune in to Friday Night SmackDown.  These people are tired of the boring Miz.  Miz says he’s the most entertaining and charismatic superstar in the WWE.  He’s the reason people watch RAW.  He’s the reason people are watching tonight.  He carried Morrison for two years, because he’s The Miz, and he’s Awesome!  Morrison says he’s the Miz and all he does is run his mouth.  Talk is cheap.  This is SmackDown, not RAW.  He won’t let Miz sit around and talk about what he’s gonna do.  He dares Miz to take a shot at him.  Miz takes off his jacket.  Miz decides that discretion is the better part of valor and leaves.  Morrison says “see you at Bragging Rights, Jannetty.”  Both men hold up their respective titles.

Still to come, Rey Mysterio takes on Batista.

Video package: The feud between Drew McIntyre and R-Truth.

Truth is walking backstage, and he’ll face Drew McIntyre one on one, NEXT! in a Bragging Rights qualifying match.

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

Later tonight, The Undertaker has a message for CM Punk.

It’s time to find out who the final member of Team SmackDown will be!  WHAT’S UP!  R-Truth raps his way down the aisle.  I guess they’re letting him backstage again, since he didn’t come out of the crowd.  Drew McIntyre makes his way out to the ring, and we’re ready for action!

Drew McIntyre def. R-Truth

Here’s what I want to know.  Why isn’t ECW upset that RAW and SmackDown are having a PPV to determine the dominant brand in the WWE and barely mentioning them?  Anyways, McIntyre works over Truth’s back throughout the match, eventually sweeping his leg out from under him while he was standing on the steel steps on the outside.  Truth couldn’t make the 10 count, and McIntyre wins by countout!

So the Bragging Rights main event is DX, Show, Henry, Swagger, Kingston, and Rhodes vs. Jericho, Kane, Cryme Tyme, Escobar, Ziggler, and now McIntyre.

Rey Mysterio and Batista are backstage, and Batista isn’t thrilled about having to face his brother ReyRey tonight.  Mysterio says it’s cool, and come Bragging Rights, it’s all about the title.  Mysterio asks Batista to take it easy on him tonight.

We’ll hear from The Undertaker, NEXT!

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

Video Package: Randy Orton and John Cena’s rivalry leading to their Iron Man Match at Bragging Rights.

Rundown of the Bragging Rights card

Video Package: The feud between CM Punk and The Undertaker.

Undertaker says that history has a way of repeating itself, but not in his yard.  Punk, Armstrong, and Long have decided to tempt fate and wrest the holy grail from death’s grip.  Once you enter Hell’s gates, there’s no turning back.  At Bragging Rights, he’ll take Punk’s soul, and in one week’s time, he’ll give Punk his last rights.

Rey Mysterio is out first for tonight’s main event.  Batista’s music starts, and I start to doze off a little.  Then his pyro goes off, and I wake up again.  Then the bell rings.  Here we go!

Rey Mysterio def. Batista

It starts off as a friendly match – until Mysterio goes for a 619 and seemingly lights a fire under the Animal.  Batista takes control and physically dominates – though he’s hesitant to do so.  Mysterio starts to use his speed to mount a comeback, and hits a 619, but when he goes for the West Coast Pop, Batista catches him and goes for a Batista Bomb, but Mysterio reverses it into a Hurricanrana pin attempt – which leads to the pinfall victory for Rey Mysterio!

Following the match, Batista complains that his shoulder was up, which Michael Cole agrees with, but Batista still hugs Mysterio and raises his hand.  Batista applauds Mysterio’s victory from the top of the ramp, and CM Punk rushes in and drops Mysterio with the GTS before bailing through the crowd.  Batista runs him off and helps Mysterio to his feet.

Next week, CM Punk vs. The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship with Scott Armstrong as the referee and Teddy Long at ringside in a submission match.

My thoughts: Another solid episode of SmackDown.  Even the Batista/Mysterio match was pretty good.  I just wish I was more awake through it.  I’m a bit surprised at the team that’s representing SmackDown, but I probably shouldn’t be.  That’s it for me guys, stay tuned for Random Randomness from JT this Sunday and Bound For Glory coverage all weekend!

Bring some snacks and settle in, peeps!

We here at BoredWrestlingFan.com are saddened to hear of the passing of Captain Lou Albano.

Lou’s feud with Cindy Lauper was a huge part of the growth of the World Wrestling Federation into a global organization in the early 1980’s, and over his career he’s managed over 50 wrestlers, two dozen of whom won championships.

We’d like to send our condolences to the family, friends, and fellow fans of Captain Lou’s.  He’s a legend who will truly be missed.

Before we get started, I’d like to welcome all the new Bored Wrestling Fans visiting our site that I’ve been talkin to on twitter for the past few days.  Want to get your thoughts featured in our RAW reviews every Monday?  Get our attention on twitter @BrdWrstlngFn!

Anyways, it’s time to get EXTREME – WWE style!

(more…)

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!)

If you’ve been here before, you’ll probably have noticed that things look a little… different than before. That’s putting it mildly. Since June 9, 2008, Bored Wrestling Fan would greet first-time visitors with the WrestleMania logo inspired “BWF Classic” Theme. I started to get creative and came up with a total of six different themes to choose from in which to view the site. A few weeks ago, I began working on a seventh theme, which was actually meant to replace two old ones, but still co-exist with the other four. Unfortunately, during this time we encountered some problems with overload on our server, and to help out, we had to take out the theme-switcher feature. I chose this new theme to be the BoredWrestlingFan theme because I think it looks cool, and it’s by far the easiest one for me to edit if things need to be added to the site in the future.

Things like an Amazon store, perhaps?  The great thing about running this store is that you can get the products you want straight from Amazon and help out Bored Wrestling Fan at the same time.  So, if you want the new Best of SmackDown 10th Anniversary DVD, SmackDown vs. RAW 2010 for your favorite console, or WWE’s “The Wrestling Album,” you can come right here to buy it – and it doesn’t cost you any more than it normally would from Amazon!

What’s up, fellow Bored Wrestling Fans?  What do you think of the new look?  What features would you guys like to see added in the future?  Leave a comment and let me know – and by the way, you can now log in to comment with your Twitter account!

One last thing before I go, I’m going to be putting together an Eddie Guerrero tribute article, and I want your thoughts and memories of Eddie Guerrero.  You can send ThinkSoJoE a private message on the BWF Forums, you can direct message us on Twitter @BrdWrstlngFn, or you can send them to GuerreroTribute@boredwrestlingfan.com.

Thanks for reading!

Whether CM Punk lost the World Heavyweight Championship title at the “Hell in a Cell” pay-per-view earlier this month over a dress code issue really doesn’t matter. (more…)
