Here a brief look at this weeks ECW. (more…)

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

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.

Last night was a lot of fun for me, although I had to work at 1AM following the show.  PaintFingers and I took a lot of pics from the show, so we’ll start from the very beginning.

Welcome, everyone to another edition of Random Randomness.  Well since I have a lot to do today, lets get going: (more…)

As I stated yesterday, I’m without cable and internet at home until at least next Friday, as I moved to a new apartment.  I thought about going out and buying some rabbit ears so I could watch SmackDown on Friday, since I’d read the spoilers and thought it sounded like it would be worth dropping 10 bucks to watch clearly, but by time I got done moving stuff on Friday night it was about 11PM – in fact, we had to finish moving earlier today.  Since I didn’t see the show, I don’t feel qualified to review it, so instead of a copy and paste from a “newz” site, I’m going to give my good friend RD Lee some traffic this week.  He’s filling in for Aaron Wood over at WorldWrestlingInsanity for a bit, and his review is up now!

Here are links to two good reviews of this week’s “Impact.”

http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/9169/

http://www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish/TNATVreports/article1005671.shtml

Real life has gotten in the way of proper reviews lately, so this week, here are some thoughts to accompany the above reviews. Consider it a slight rip-off of our good buddy JT’s “Random Randomness,” except that all points apply to a single “Impact” episode, making it not actually random at all. Did I mention that JT rules? He does.

1. Angle putting up his leadership position of the Main Event Mafia at “Sacrifice?” Ok. So the MEM will suddenly snap to and follow the lead of someone not named Kurt Angle just because of a match? Who would even want that spot, knowing perfectly well that the MEM would just take them out? Even in wrestling, people aren’t that stupid.

2. Amazing Red! He was never one of my favorites because he always seemed very sloppy in the ring to me, but I enjoyed watching him back in the early days of TNA, and having him back could be grand. The new look really helps. If you saw his old look, you know of what I speak. Honestly, though, Red’s last work in TNA was long enough ago that lots of current fans have no idea who he is. Having wild surprises is great, but in the case of Red, a few weeks of video packages, or even a “Rough Cuts” segment, would have been more effective. His big return was far from bad, don’t get me wrong. It’s just not a surprise when half your audience is thinking, “Who?”

3. Amazing Red and Suicide beat the MCMG. So there are other plans for the MCMG besides TNA tag team championship matches. As long as they’re on tv, I can’t complain. However, this is the third match in this tournament (more on that later) in which an established, legitimate tag team was beaten by two guys who were teaming together for the first time. Why? What does that do to make the tag team division look good? If there were a reason for it (injury, team dissension, and so on), then fine, but now No Limit, Lethal Consequences, MCMG, and LAX are all out of the tag team title tournament. Three of those matches were clean losses (not counting the LAX beatdown by the British Invasion). It’s Beer Money and three teams of random guys. This does not count as shaking up the tag team division with new blood! It just looks like any two guys can team up and legitimately beat guys who have been teaming for several years.

4. The Beautiful People seem to be hanging Madison Rayne out to dry. Funny. The group interaction is always fun to watch.

5. Cody Deaner and Abyss. Again? This seems to be a feud, but I’m not liking it. Deaner makes me want to change the channel. Was he really worth getting rid of Petey and Sonjay? ODB’s peacock hairdo hurts my soul. 

6. Mick Foley searches for back-up against Kurt Angle’s invasion of his office. This is actually fun. Mick goes to the MCMG and Samoa Joe and gets nowhere, but watching him try was great. Particularly after his history with Alex Shelley. Suicide is Al Snow?

7. The British Invasion bit was very well-done. If there had to be a match in the tag team tournament where an established team was beaten by a new one, this was it. Not crazy about the name “British Invasion,” but it could be worse. At least Brutus Magnus is out of the gladiator gimmick. He can only get better working with Doug Williams, and then, everybody wins. Magnus has a good look and isn’t a bad talker, but his ring work was painful to watch up until now. He seems much more comfortable as part of a team. Good. Taking out Hernandez and triple-teaming Homicide made absolute sense. A solid introduction for the faction, and I’m actually looking forward to what they do next. Yes, I’m eating my words from a previously-posted thread. It happens.

8. Kong squashing Madison Rayne was great, as the fans kept chanting “One more time! One more time!” Don West was appalled and had some great lines about the sick fans.

9. If you didn’t laugh during the MCMG/Daniels segment, you have no soul. Go to the TNA site and watch the video clip of this segment. It’s actually up. Or just try this.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDacEZvsCOQ It includes such gems as –

Alex Shelley: You have a wife and two kids at home who play with our action figures!

Chris Sabin: Why is it that you and Suicide have the exact same build? I mean, let’s face it, that ass is unmistakable!

Sabin shoves his mic into Daniels’s chest with great force. Daniels is still holding his own mic from entering the ring. Shelley leans over and says, “He already has a mic.” Sabin responds, “I just wanted to hit him.”

10. I hate the fact that Jenna Morasca has almost the same first name as me. Whatever she’s getting paid should be spent on acting lessons. Immediately.

11. Daffney and Lauren competing for the affections of Abyss??? Hmm. This could get interesting. I hope Daffney doesn’t get wasted on a non-wrestler, though.

12. Matt Morgan? Offering his services to the MEM? Uh, ok. It may fit character-wise, but he doesn’t meet the requirements. Lashley does. Morgan/Lashley?

13. AJ loses because Joe doesn’t show up. Sure, I’m curious, but isn’t this pretty much admitting that there is no Main Event Mafia versus Front Line?

14. Sting returns. Ok. A bit soon, methinks.

15. Foley losing his mind and being all over the place is more intriguing than nice-guy Legend Foley. No, I don’t want him at the top of the food chain for a year, but I’m interested in seeing where this goes.

Peace out,

Twenty-seven is an ominous number for rock stars.  Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and several others have died at that age.  It’s also a number associated with “Weird Al” Yankovic for some reason.  It’s also the number of championships the man we’re here to talk about today has won during his WWE career as of press time.  He’s the only person to have held all six major championships across RAW and SmackDown.  He’s also the only person that Hulk Hogan has ever held a tag team championship with.  I’m referring, of course, to SmackDown’s current World Heavyweight Champion, Edge.

Hello, fellow Bored Wrestling Fans. Thank you all for once again helping BWF set a site record for monthly page views. 1576 pages have been viewed through the month of April, which is now the third straight month that the readership of this site has grown. A special thanks this month to LegendKiller, who did killer numbers for his WrestleMania real-time, and tharvey1 who joined the BWF family to cover WWE Superstars every Thursday night.

In other site related news, over the course of the next week I will be without my own internet connection at home (I’m leeching off of somebody else’s in my new apartment at the moment.) and therefore some of my WWE coverage will be handled by somebody else, posted late, or direct you elsewhere. This will not effect my weekly column, as a new edition of “A case for the Hall of Fame” will be published tomorrow at noon. Hope you all enjoy it, and thanks once again for visiting BoredWrestlingFan.com!

Hey people!  Let’s get this review of WWE Superstars going.

First Match is a Diva’s Tag Match pairing Gail Kim and the very delicious Maria against Alicia Fox and Michelle McCool

The match starts off with Gail Kim against Alicia Fox.  Kim starts on the offense then tags Maria in, who continues the attack.  Alicia Fox throws Maria into the ropes and McCool kicks her in the back o’ the head.  A couple of quick tags in the Fox/McCool corner take place and Michelle McCool starts to wear Maria down.  Gail Kim distracts McCool and Maria kicks her in the head and makes her way over to Kim for the tag.  Kim hits a neckbreaker off the top rope.  Kim goes up for another top rope manuever, but McCool executes a kick to Kim and makes the cover for the 3-count.  Winner : Michelle McCool and Alicia Fox.  I give this match a 4 out of 10.  I’m not the biggest fan of Diva wrestling, and this was a very average match.

Next up is Pirate Paul….oh wait its just Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea now against Evan Bourne

Paul Burchill starts off with the offense, but Bourne turns the tables with his quickness.  Burchill’s strength puts him back in control for a bit.  The quickness of Air Bourne gives him some offense, but he seemingly hurts his knee.  Burchill focuses in on that knee with the help of his sister Katie Lea at ringside.  Bourne battles back and takes Burchill down with a series of kicks.  Bourne goes for the Shooting Star Press, but Burchill climbs the ropes to prevent it.  Bourne then punches him of the ropes and Burchill lands on his back, and Shooting Star Press for Bourne for the win.  I love that move.  It is the prettiest move I have ever seen.  I give this match a 7.5 out of 10.  I wish Bourne had gotten more high flying spots, but both men worked well.

Backstage interview with Cody Whodth and Ted DiBiase.  Does anybody else like Legacy as much as me? 

Oh yeah…Christian is the new ECW champion!  There it is….my Cheap Christian plug of the week.  I hope the PEEPulation is growing!

Anywho…the main event of the evening is Ted Dibiase 2.0 against one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, Carlito

The lock up has TD2 sending Carlito into the corner and beating him down.  Carlito then switches it and beats on Dibiase.  Good back and forth matchup to start the match.  Pretty cool spot with both men going over the top to the outside happens, as Superstars goes to break.  Back from break, DiBiase is on the attack and stomps Carlito into the mat.  TD2 is very Randy Ortonesque in the ring.  Dibiase hits his Million Dollar Dream Slam when Carlito tries a springboard elbow.  Winner of the match is Ted Dibiase.  I give this match a 8.5 out of 10.  Both men are legit in the ring, and it blows my mind how Carlito has never gotten a main event shot.

The show was pretty good, with the exception of the Diva Tag match.  I like them giving airtime to Ted Dibiase on here.  He is definitely a future main eventer and needs the exposure.  I guess its time to leave you with a fact of life as I know it.  Most Diva wrestling sucks!!!  Peace out peoples.

Wednesday. The only day in the week where there is 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 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.
