Another week, another RAW review. I DID have somebody volunteer, but that somebody’s e-mail address they gave me bounced back to me. So, if you’re interested in being our BWF RAW Blogger, please e-mail contact@boredwrestlingfan.com.
I don’t remember what happened last week even though I wrote about it and we talked about it on yesterday’s podcast. Well, I remember Paul Heyman. THIS IS EXTREME!
Maryland Wrestling Federation wrestler Brian Hardy took time out of his day before challenging for the MWF Heavyweight Championship this weekend to speak with ThinkSoJoE and Justin Ruff of BoredWrestlingFan.com.
The second generation star spoke with the BWF crew on a number of topics including his current storyline in Maryland Championship Wrestling, Growing up with a father in the wrestling business, the difference between the business when his Dad, Barry, started and now, big names he’s wrestled, his favorite opponents and matches, wrestling Buddy Landel, training in his Dad’s backyard, which YouTube backyard wrestling videos with his name aren’t him, whether he’d prefer being a face or heel, the band he fronted prior to becoming a wrestler, and much, much more.

The Power Poll is an opinion poll conducted each week among various professional wrestling sites to pick out the definitive top ten professional wrestling personalities of the week.
1. Paul Heyman (NR)
Want to hit the top of the Power Poll? Show up unannounced after being gone for five years. Welcome back, Paul!
2. Lord Tensai (NR)
Along with the number one contender at Over The Limit, Tensai decimated the WWE Champion on RAW.
3. Chris Jericho (NR)
He may have lost his two WWE Championship opportunities at WrestleMania and Extreme Rules, but can he push World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus Over The Limit now that he’s made his way into the Fatal Four Way?
4. Daniel Bryan (5)
He may not have pinned the WWE Champion, but it’s a victory for Daniel Bryan nonetheless.
5. Sheamus (4)
Sheamus went from having one opponent in Alberto Del Rio at No Way Out to having three. Taking an RKO on Monday didn’t help his Power Poll rankings either.
6. Alberto Del Rio (NR)
Being named number one contender on Friday and then having it changed to a Fatal Four Way on Monday isn’t exactly what Del Rio wanted, but his work has impressed the Power Pollers regardless.
7. Brodus Clay (NR)
Today’s Mother’s Day. Somebody call your Momma!
8. Ryback (9)
After weeks of squashing enhancement talent, Ryback steps up to squash Heath Slater. What’s the difference? One step on the Power Poll, apparently.
9. Randy Orton (7)
A Brogue Kick from Sheamus on RAW knocked Orton down a few notches, but the comeback RKO and the fact he’s now got a title opportunity at Over The Limit allow Orton to hang on to a top ten slot.
10. R-Truth & Kofi Kingston (6)
The new WWE Tag Team Champions continue their roll and cling to the bottom of the Power Poll.
Fallen Out Of The Top 10:
John Cena, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Layla
(Last week’s Position)
WWE House Show Edition!
It’s Friday, and that means I’m tired as hell and Smackdown is on. Let’s check out our card for the evening:
Some dude who knows the BWF and WPO's own Justin Ruff, tagged him on facebook in this picture. Don't thank me, thank the interwebs.
Looks like a happening to me, so let’s get to it… shall we?
Well here we are looking into the abyss that is RVD. The whole f’n show who is now going against Roode for the TNA World Title after making a miraclous return after being taken out by Gunner months back.
Roode comes to the ring to gloat only to have RVD then Anderson adn finally Hardy come out and attack him. Right before they attack each other like a pack of hungry hyenas. Hogan makes his entrance panders to RVD so he can set up a fatal four way where if whoever wins takes on Roode at Sacrifice this Sunday. Or if Roode wins he picks his opponent, or if RVD wins he gets to pick the stipulation. OR….. Wait I got it under control.
So Madison is ignoring Gail because she is getting ready for a guy causing for some foreshadowing to something down the line.
This leads right into Velvet Sky, who is like the female RVD who believes she still deserves a shot at the title. But we all cringe with the thought She’s taking on Brooke Tessmacher who is a good worker that deserves a better opponent to showcase her skills. thank god its short but it was kinda of like an asswhooping where it may not be that long but it still hurts like hell. Especially when Velvet had control of the match.
Crimson and Morgan seems like a feud that just keeps going on to no end. Even though we were promised an end at Lockdown but someone forgot to tell them that. Crimson calls out Morgan…
But Bully Ray comes out and busts him (Morgan) in the head with a chair. So maybe someone did get them the memo.
X division time with…Xema Ion vs Austin Aries that is a good solid match that would of been nice had it advanced story. Aries wins with no interfence from Ray who busted Morgan open because you know he’s a bully. Where is Nese, Haskins or Williams we need other competitors to show forward momentum in the division. Otherwise good match.
Daniels and Kaz discuss the AJ blackmail and whether or not to reveal it, because you know its the heel thing to do to prolong it. That or the evidence just sucks and this feud lost momentum when Russo was let go. Well they come out and AJ follows soon afterward and with 3 pictures I was deflated. IT was AJ and Dixie embracing and not even kissing even though the last picture would have you think that if you had bad vision but its obvious their faces are no where near each other but whatev’s.
I miss this feud when the evidence looked to be on Kazarian.
So the television triangle continues with Robbie E, Devon and Robbie T still fighting over the belt. So this is taking the belt seriously when they made plans to have it defended every week? So yeah another PPV but this time its a handicap match where Devon is sure he will still win.
Joseph Park comes out after having his Inspector Clouseu investigation turn up Bully Ray as a suspect. Because this all couldn’t have been solved in ten minutes by Park just watching Genesis? Got to love that suspense of disbelief.
Bully Ray comes out and gets owned by Park and the audience on the mic before pushing Park down.
So the fatal four way ends with RVD winning after Roode took 3 finishers leaving Bob van Dam to make his stipulation which will be a ladder match. Then when it couldn’t get any better AByss comes out and leaves his brother a warning because Chris couldn’t have done it during the Bully Ray/Joe Park segment because he can not be in two places as once unless you have that 2pac hologram but I digress.
Here’s to Sacrifice and finally ending that Television Menage a trois.
PNT NR out!!
Changed the title. Hopefully this will work out better. (more…)
