Highlights aired from last week’s live broadcast… The new HD opening montage aired… A shot of the Impact Zone showed a cool video screen with the TNA logo and a light show on the stage…
I know a thing or two about entertainment. My degree is in theatre. I have spent the last decade teaching theatre arts and speech in public schools. I have directed numerous stage productions, some involving over fifty people, armed with little more than a script and a deadline. I have been paid to act, and even did so in a manner that involved keeping my clothes on. I have trained in and performed Irish step dance. In short, I have a vague idea of what entertainment is, how it works, and what being an entertainer means. (more…)
First and foremost, thank you to everybody who’s visited since we launched several months ago. I’d like to take a moment to apologize for late updates and occasional missed updates. To help alleviate this problem, we have two new writers here at BoredWrestlingFan – JT whom you’ve met already, and Drowgoddess, who you’ll be meeting shortly – who will not only be filling in on show reviews from time to time, but will also be chiming in with original articles on occasion. I’ve given both of the new writers the freedom to post whenever they want without having to go through me first, so it’ll be interesting to see where that goes. Please welcome JT and Drowgoddess and make them feel at home by posting your comments on their articles and show reviews!
WWE Presents: Cyber Sunday
Live from Phoenix, Arizona
October 26th 2008

——————————–
The show opens with a promo for tonight’s event featuring all the current storied WWE superstars, talking as if it were not a big deal that the WWE Universe could vote for tonight’s event, until one of them says “It’s only our future” then they all start questioning the concept and plead that we’ve all voted for their matches.
“Propane Nightmares” by Pendulum kicks in and the show begins revealing a new Cyber Sunday stage, mainly centered around a giant blackberry with the HD LED lights surrounding it.
Hey everybody. Just wanted to chime in and give my two cents on Cyber Sunday. Taking a look at the card here’s how it looks:
1. WWE Championship (WWE Universe chooses challenger) choices are:
a. Jeff Hardy
b. Kozlov
c. Both
What I think should happen- I would like to see HHH take on both of them. Then during the match HHH gets knocked out of the ring, Kozlov does his headbutt thingy on Jeff Hardy, pins him and wins the WWE title.
What probably will happen- Jeff hardy gets 90% of the vote and faces HHH one-on-one, with HHH coming out on top.
2. Undertaker vs. Big Show (WWE Universe chooses type of match) choices are:
a. Knockout Match
b. I Quit Match
c. Last Man Standing Match
What I think should happen- I don’t have much to say about this match so I’m going with Last man standing.
What will probably happen- Last man standing, Taker gets his win back.
3. WWE Diva Halloween Costume Contest– I don’t care, nuff said.
4. Pick the Tag Team Match choices are:
a. World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase vs. CM Punk & Kofi Kingston
b. John Morrison & The Miz vs. Cryme Tyme
c. Jamie Noble & Mickie James vs. William Regal & Layla
What I think should happen- First, let me say what won’t happen. The mixed tag match. If it gets more than 10% of the vote I’ll be surprised. Now back on the subject, I think that the tag title match will happen.
What probably will happen- Tag title match, Punk and Kingston win.
5. Cyber Sunday Preview Match (United States Championship Match) the choices are:
R-Truth
MVP
Festus
Wow good to see Shelton get on the card (even if it’s a preview match on wwe.com) and no doubt that he’s gonna be facing and losing the belt to R-Truth. (that’s both what I think and probably will happen)
6. ECW Championship Match (WWE Universe chooses Matt Hardy’s opponent) Choices are:
a. Mark Henry
b. Evan Bourne
c. Finlay
What I think will happen- If anyone has seen Evan Bourne, then there should be no doubt that he should be facing Matt Hardy.
What probably will happen- Evan Bourne faces Matt. The guy is awesome and even proved it last Tuesday on ECW so that will turn the vote in his direction.
7. Kane vs. Rey Mysterio (WWE Universe chooses type of match) choices are:
Falls Count Anywhere Match
No Holds Barred Match
Best 2-out-of-3 Falls Match
What I think should happen- Ugh, this is one feud I don’t care about. I am not a fan of Rey Mysterio’s (never have) so anything involving him I just don’t give a s#@*. I gonna go with No Hols Barred.
What will probably will happen- Falls Count Anywhere. Kane kills Rey and takes his mask.
a. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper
b. Goldust
c. Honky Tonk Man
What I think will happen- Goldust, um no. Honky Tonk Man maybe. Granted I know that his whole gimmick is revolved the Honky Tonk Man and the Honk-A-Meter, but I just don’t see it happening when the other choice is Rowdy Roddy Piper. He should clearly win this vote.
What probably will happen- Charlie Haas dressed as the Honky Tonk Man does the job to Santino.
9.World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho vs. zzzz, I mean Batista (WWE Universe chooses referee) choices are:
a. Randy Orton
b. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin
c. Shawn Michaels
Man even Batista puts me to sleep even typing his name.
What I think will happen- Randy Orton being a choice is a joke. If he gets more than 5% of the votes I will know this whole thing is rigged. This is going to be very close between HBK and Stone Cold. Since Austin is supposed to be there and I don’t see having him there and not using him so he wins.
What probably will happen- Austin gets 50%, HBK 49%, Orton 1%. Austin during the match gets pissed off at both Jericho and Batista, stuns them counts them both down but just before 3 Jericho gets his arm on Batista and retains.
Well those are my thoughts on Cyber Sunday, hope you didn’t too bored and go away. If you didn’t thanks for reading and hop to see you soon.
