Tonight, it’s the fallout from No Surrender. There’s a bunch of stuff announced for tonight, but I’m too lazy to find out what it is. I guess you’ll just have to read the detailed results to find out what happened!
Detailed results after the jump! (more…)
Due to circumstances beyond our control, I wasn’t able to write up an ECW review for last night. Here are the results, courtesy of WWE.com:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Both ECW Champion Matt Hardy and Mark Henry were victorious on ECW on Sci Fi on Tuesday night, as the rivals are just weeks away from their ECW Title match at No Mercy.
Henry sought retribution after last week’s ECW when Hornswoggle caused a distraction, leading Finlay to hit Henry with a shillelagh. With WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas in his corner, Henry got his revenge, causing Finlay’s luck to run out. Henry manhandled the Belfast Brawler throughout the match, but once The World Strongest Man cornered Hornswoggle, Finlay attacked Henry with the shillelagh for the second week in a row, an act unseen by the referee. While suffering through the pain inflicted on his arm by the shillelagh, Henry still dominated, pinning Finlay after a World’s Strongest Slam. Despite the win on ECW, The World’s Strongest Man has one thing on his mind – winning back the ECW Title he lost, without being pinned, during the ECW Championship Scramble Match at Unforgiven just nine days ago.
Also on ECW, Matt Hardy proved once again why he’s the ECW Champion when he pinned Mike Knox for the second week in a row. Hardy delivered another Twist of Fate to the devious Knox, who wore the battle wounds on his face from last week’s tag team defeat by the ECW Champ. Hardy, who has proclaimed he wants to be the greatest ECW Champion of all time, is looking stronger than ever with another victory under his ECW Title.
The rivalry between Evan “Air” Bourne and John Morrison & The Miz escalated to a new level this week when Bourne was accompanied to the ring by a fellow member of ECW General Manager Theodore Long’s New Superstar Initiative, Ricky Ortiz. Unlike last week, when The Miz distracted Bourne allowing Morrison to get the win, Bourne was victorious over The Miz this week in singles action. Morrison interfered by grabbing Bourne, prompting Ortiz to attack the Shaman of Sexy, distracting The Miz long enough for Bourne to roll up the self-proclaimed “Chick Magnet” for the victory.
Finally, “The All-American American” Jack Swagger was successful once again, this time defeating Chase Stevens. After winning his second match on ECW with a Red, White and Blue Thunder Bomb, smiling Swagger is looking like another fine Extreme competitor to come out of the ECW New Superstar Initiative.
Former World Champion CM Punk tries to get his title back in a steel cage against Chris Jericho. Plus, Kane takes on Rey Mysterio. All this and more as RAW is LIVE from Memphis, TN!

I didn’t quite make it online to make predictions last night, but here are your quick results for TNA No Surrender 2008.
Sting announces that he has renewed his contract, and that at Bound For Glory next month, he’ll be facing the winner of tonight’s Four Ways To Glory match for the TNA Championship. He then talks about the talent in TNA and the lack of respect shown to the veterans.
Booker T could not make it to the show due to Hurricane Ike. We here at BWF wish Booker and his family the best and hope they make it through the storm safely.

Results and analysis, after the jump! (more…)
I’ve been playing for about 20 minutes now. I’m starting story mode, but so far, this game sucks!
Alright, an hour and a half later, I’ve been playing through story mode. I’m at like 30-someodd percent, and I’ve actually started to have fun. The gameplay is insanely repetitive, but not as much as the commentary is. I’m thinking that I may try to get all the achievements (or at least beat story mode), and get the trade in value. I guess we’ll see what happens.
What will the new ECW Champion, Matt Hardy have to say now that he’s finally achieved his firs World Championship? Speaking of which, what kind of mood does former champion Mark Henry have to be in after losing the title without being pinned this past Sunday at Unforgiven? The answer to these questions and more, on ECW!

RAW results and analysis after the jump (more…)
Well, I’m not going to bore you with a results page (but if you must know, Matt Hardy, Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Michelle McCool, and in a surprising twist, Chris Jericho were your winners), I just wanted to get a few things off my chest about WWE Unforgiven 2008.
First of all, congratulations to Matt Hardy – it may be the ECW Championship, but you’ve finally won the big one. Unfortunately, your brother was just one second away from upstaging you and winning the World Heavyweight Championship, but instead of lunging over to break up Triple H’s pin attempt, he ran over into his own pin attempt on Shelton Benjamin.
Speaking of which, Jeff Hardy bugged the hell out of me last night (and later on in the night, so did Kane). Jeff was the current WWE Champion at one point, and a couple of times while he was the current champion, he went for a pinfall. Tell me, what good would it have done for Jeff Hardy, while being the current champion in the match, to pin somebody? He’s already achieved the only thing you get when you pin somebody, so what is the point of pinning somebody else since a pin doesn’t really benefit you. Kane, as current World Heavyweight Champion, made a pin attempt on Batista in RAW’s Scramble Match. It makes no sense to me.
Speaking of the RAW match, it really bothers me that CM Punk, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, was written out of the match. If they really wanted Jericho to win, they could have had Kane attack Mysterio backstage, have Jericho replace Mysterio and have Orton come out to the ring to cost Punk the World Championship. I think it’s complete BS that Punk wasn’t even in the match that he lost the title in.
The beating HBK gave Jericho last night was not as bad as they’re going to make it out to be, though Jericho did come out of the match in pretty rough shape. You could see how badly he was beaten up as he made his way to the ring for the Championship Scramble. That match had a pretty good finish, with Jericho stealing the victory without getting in a single move throughout the time he was in the match.
What I’m going to take away from Unforgiven is the fact that The Brian Kendrick is eventually going to win the WWE Championship if he stays clean and doesn’t do anything stupid. That said, the same statement will apply to Jeff Hardy, albeit much sooner than it will apply to Kendrick.
The Big Show heel turn was piss poor. Normally the guy arguing with whoever the Undertaker is feuding with will leave before the druids come out. Show stood there and laughed at Vickie. Sure, he pretended to be mad at her, but you could tell that he was turning heel the moment the camera got a shot of Show and Guerrero in the ring together.
You guys all know that I’m normally against name changes – especially when the guy has his old name on his tights – but I think it’s a good thing they changed Afa Jr.’s name to Manu. WWE doesn’t like to use “Junior” at the end of names (Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, and most recently and most baffling, Ted DiBiase). People remember Afa, so calling this kid Afa isn’t going to make a lot of sense (again, see DiBiase, Ted). Calling him Manu and telling everybody that he’s Afa’s son is a good move.
I’m really glad that I probably won’t ever have to see that Chris Jericho/Shawn Michaels video package again. Hopefully, Shawn’s promo at Unforgiven stating that for Jericho, the worst is still yet to come doesn’t mean that he’s going to find himself in the World Title hunt.
That’s it for me, I’ll see you guys in the morning with a RAW review!
