As I sit here and wonder the ways of the world, I ask myself: 1. Is this headache ever gonna go away? and 2.  Wait I have an article to write: (more…)

In Lance Storm’s most recent “Q&A” column, he had this to say:

Wow.  BoredWrestlingFan.com is celebrating it’s one year anniversary this Tuesday, June 9th.  Normally by this point in a project, I’ve lost all interest and will have not updated in months.  BWF is not one of those projects.  I still love this site and update it as often as possible, and with the cast of characters I’ve assembled here, we keep this place live nearly every day of the week.  But enough about that for now, I’ll devote an article to that on Tuesday.

On to the wrestling news for the week.

The big news still on the radar from last week is the sudden release of Mr. Kennedy as details continue to leak.  Word is that Randy Orton complained about Kennedy’s wreckless nature in the ring.  The story goes that Mr. McMahon asked other Superstars about it, and they agreed which led to Kennedy’s release.  Rumor has it that Kennedy is also now a member of the WWE “do not call” list, which is a very exclusive club.

Almost lost in the mix of Kennedy stories are the injuries that Samoa Joe suffered at a TNA house show sometime in the past week.  The former TNA Triple Crown Champion suffered two broken fingers and a torn bicep.  The injuries couldn’t come at a worse time for TNA, as they’ve already taped every episode of iMPACT! leading up to Slammiversary, where Joe was set to participate in the King of the Mountain main event.  At this point, the only thing yours truly would expect is Joe to be taken out by the Main Event Mafia at the start of the PPV.

Chris Mordetzky, better known as Chris Masters, has apparently re-signed with World Wrestling Entertainment.  Maybe he stopped taking steroids and learned how to wrestle, and can actually justify whatever push they give him this time around.

Sting is (allegedly) seriously considering retirement following this year’s Bound For Glory Pay-Per-View.  If he does decide to retire, rest assured that he’d probably stay retired, and also bet your house on Sting being inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame no later than 2011.

Hey, speaking of Pay Per Views, WWE’s changed the name of another one.  The Great American Bash is now simply known as The Bash.  The reasons rumoured for this change include the old name being too WCW sounding, and the fact that if it’s the Great American Bash, you can’t hold it outside of the U.S.

The highlight of this week in wrestling for me was actually watching SmackDown for the first time in over a month.  There were a few great matches on there that made me remember why I’m a wrestling fan.  Edge vs. Rey Mysterio was a definite match of the year contender in my book.

And since it’s a PPV weekend, here’s my predictions for Xtreme Rules!

Vickie Guerrero vs. Santina Marella: Hog Pen Match

My prediction is this match will suck.  For the hell of it, let’s go with Santina regaining her Miss WrestleMania crown.

CM Punk vs. Umaga:  Samoan Strap Match

Time for these guys to move on from this random feud.  Punk wins.

US Championship – Kofi Kingston vs. Matt Hardy vs. William Regal vs. MVP:  four way match

What the hell is extreme about a four way match?  Kingston just won the title on Monday, don’t expect that belt to be going anywhere this soon.

Intercontinental Championship – Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho: No Hold’s Barred

Just as long as Zeus doesn’t get involved, we’re good here.  Rey Rey will find a way to win.  Jericho doesn’t need another IC Title run.

ECW Championship – Christian vs. Jack Swagger vs. Tommy Dreamer: Hardcore match

I know the story here about Dreamer getting one more chance at the ECW Championship, getting a one day extension past today’s original date.  I just can’t see him getting the win.  Christian retains.

John Cena vs. The Big Show: Submission match

I predict myself falling asleep.  Two decidedly non-submission wrestlers in a submission match.  Boring.  Technical guys like CM Punk and Chris Jericho can get away with submission matches, not power guys like Cena and The Big Show.  Anyways, why bother, we all know Cena’s going to win.

WWE Championship – Randy Orton vs. Batista: Steel Cage Match

For crying out loud, what is Batista even doing in a championship match?  The guy sucks in the ring, he sucks on the mic, he is NOT championship material.  Never was, never will be.  I just hope he doesn’t injure Orton, who I’m sure is going over.

World Championship – Edge vs. Jeff Hardy:  Ladder Match

Jeff hasn’t re-signed with WWE yet, and they want him to.  Hardy goes over, believe it or not.

That’s all for me for now, JT will be around tomorrow with more Random Randomness, and we’ll have some sort of coverage of Extreme Rules – probably not live but it’ll be up sometime before RAW on Monday.

Ah, the blue brand.  I haven’t watched an entire episode of SmackDown since I’ve moved in to my new apartment, but I’ve been keeping up and am intrigued by the goings on.  Ready?  Let’s go!

See that line over there? No, THAT one. Yes. Go cross it!

I want it on record that this review occurs under duress. We have it so rough here at www.boredwrestlingfan.com. Some of us would LIKE to have it so rough, but that’s as may be. This week’s title is “You Can Go Back Home.” Is this a thinly-veiled shot at the non-ex-WWE guys on the roster, specifically the past and present X-Division stars? I’m just sayin’.

(more…)

Being the last WWE Superstars before “Extreme Rules,” this review also comes with predictions for the ppv.  Let’s do it!

Match 1: The Bizzare One and the Midget (Goldust and the Midget) teaming up against THE Brian Kendrick and  Jaime Noble

Believe it or not, even Hornswoggle doesn’t make Kendrick and Noble look big.  Noble has to have bad memories of the little troll beating him for the Cruiserweight title.  Anyways…Hornswoggle hits the tadpole splash on Spanky for the win. 

Extreme Rules Prediction:             

CM Punk over Umaga in the Samoan Strap Match.  Punk hits the GTS and drags the Samoan Bulldozer around the ring.         

Santina over Vickie Guerrero in the Hog Pen match.  Mickie James and Kelly Kelly help Santino’s “twin sister” get the win. 

Match 2:  David Hart Smith vs. Tommy Dreamer.  Christian doing commentary.

I hate the Hart Dynasty music.  They need to just use the old music.  As the referee was distracted by Christian grabbing a chair out of Natalya’s hands, Tyson Kidd kicked Dreamer in the head and David Hart Smith picks up the cheap win.

Extreme Rules Prediction:

ECW Championship Triple-Threat Match:  Tommy Dreamer gets the win and becomes the new ECW Champion by pinning Jack Swagger. 

Big Show over John Cena in a Submission Match.  This match is the payback match for Show and builds on the fact that he is too big for Cena to submit. 

Match 3:  Chris Jericho and Dolph Ziggler tagging against R-Truth and Jeff Hardy

At the beginning, Jericho claims that from now on, Superstars will be his show because he is the ultimate superstar.  Jeff Hardy gets the win with a Swanton Bomb on Dolph Ziggler.  R-Truth should be IC champ very soon!  That dude can work. 

Extreme Rules Prediction: 

Intercontinental Championship Match:  Chris Jericho gets the win in the No Holds Barred match.  As he attempts to rip off Rey’s mask, R-Truth makes the save and starts a program with Jericho.

World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match:  Edge gets the win.  No reason for him not to.

US title Fatal Four-Way Match:  Kofi retains the title.  Again…no reason for him not to.

WWE Championship Cage Match:  Randy Orton defeats Batista, as HHH finds a way to interfere.  This sets up the Summerslam triple-threat main event. 

That does it for this week.  Thanks for reading and see you next week for another WWE Superstars Review.

It’s just another Wednesday, which means …

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.

Finally – ThinkSoJoE…  HAS COME BACK! to reviewing shows.  I’ve been trying to get motivated to write about the programming lately, but I’ve been sleeping through most of it.  RAW’s been boring, ECW’s been entertaining but I haven’t really been paying a lot of attention to it, and SmackDown hasn’t been bad – but I’m usually sleeping when it’s on.  That’s the problem with working overnights, I guess.  Anyway, Kofi Kingston will be taking on MVP for the United States Championship tonight, so without further adieu, let’s get started…

Well hello people out there and welcome to another edition of  JT’s Random Randomness.  Lets get this show on the road: (more…)
