  1. Power Poll 9/15/10: Honorable mention

    Power Poll 9/15/10: Honorable mention (or ROH 1, TNA 0)

    ROH had its highest placement on the Power Poll yet, while TNA completely falls off the radar with Impact scurrying away from the NFL. But, not surprisingly, WWE dominated with familiar faces at the top.

    1. Randy Orton (Last week: 1)
    WWE is going full-bore in its attempt to turn Randy Orton into this generation’s Stone Cold Steve Austin, it seems, even giving him a win on TV over John Cena (in a tables match, but still). I feel bad for this generation.

    2. Kane (2)
    Say this for WWE. The idea of Kane as World champion seemed ridiculous three months ago. Not anymore.

    3. John Cena (4)
    I have officially run out of things to say about John Cena.

    4. Chris Jericho (10)
    Taking advantage of some wacky rules and stupidity by the Hart Dynasty, Jericho (in a suit) had a nice match with Tyson Kidd, winning cleanly to earn a spot back in the six-pack match at Night of Champions. Plus, he got to tell off Michael Cole and the mystery GM.

    5. Alberto Del Rio (3)
    Del Rio continued his strong showing since his debut with a submission win over Twitter legend Matt Hardy. Given that Hardy went insane soon afterward, I guess maybe we

    6. The Undertaker (NR)
    The creative build for his match with Kane at Night of Champions has refreshed a stale-sounding feud, but will the enthusiasm for it end when they actually have to get in the ring together?

    7. Roderick Strong (NR)
    I confess I don’t know much about Roderick Strong. I know he’s now the ROH champion, beating Tyler Black on Saturday. I think he likes backbreakers.

    8. Sheamus (NR)
    The WWE champion returns after a one-week absence, but isn’t kind of sad that he’s been such an afterthought lately that he’s behind the ROH champion?

    9. Daniel Bryan (6)
    The future unified WWE-World-TNA-ROH-Evolve-Chikara-GAEA-CMLL-CWA-WCCW-ECW-GLOW* champion slipped a little despite a convincing win over Alex Riley and embarrassing The Miz.

    10. The Miz (9)
    The U.S. champion and Money in the Bank holder has fallen steadily since Summerslam. But I have a feeling he’ll have neither of those things when Night of Champions is finished and will be a lot higher in the Power Poll next week.

    Dropped: Kurt Angle, Kaval, Jeff Hardy

    NOTE: I didn’t vote this week, and our friend Jason who compiles and sends out the Power Poll was unable to provide comments this week.  So, here’s the poll!

    Power Poll 9/8/10

    The ever popular Randy Orton took the top spot by a wide margin this week in the poll, while WWE champion Sheamus fell out of the poll thanks to becoming more of an afterthought. Life just isn’t fair sometimes.

    3. Alberto Del Rio

    4. John Cena

    5. Kurt Angle

    6. Daniel Bryan

    ThinkSoJoE note: I didn’t vote on this week’s poll – I haven’t really watched much wrestling over the past week and therefore haven’t really felt qualified to do so.  Nonetheless, here’s this week’s Power Poll results!

    Power Poll 8/25/10: The song remains the same

    Last week’s ascension of Internet darlings Daniel Bryan and the Motor City Machine Guns didn’t last long, but this week’s Power Poll features one new face and a bunch of familiar ones. And somehow a guy who the Internet supposedly hates remains at the top of a poll voted on by Internet wrestling writers.

    1. John Cena (1)

    2. Randy Orton (3)

    3. Sheamus (6)

    4. Kane (2)

    5. The Miz (4)

    Well after a long break, there’s nothing better than to be back and writing again.  I hope you all didn’t forget about me since the last time but if you did then it’s ok, hopefully my next break (my move which will be happening in the next month or two) won’t be as long. But you have me for now so lets get on with the show: (more…)

  5. Power Poll 8/18/10: He’s Unstoppable

    Leave a Comment

    “Some of you aren’t going to be thrilled about who is at the top of the rankings this week (at least as much as you might be emotionally involved in the results of the Power Poll). “ – Jason Mann, WrestlePerspective

    1. John Cena (2)

    By comparison, I ranked Cena 6th on my Power Poll ballot, and oddly enough he was still the top WWE guy on there.  But, apparently, The Nexus is a bigger threat to the WWE than I thought, and Cena defeating them at SummerSlam and then defeating Darren Young and having him exiled from the group is enough to put him at the top of this week’s rankings.

    2. Kane (6)

    By virtue of his win over Rey Mysterio at SummerSlam, I ranked Kane number 10 on my ballot.  He makes number two overall this week, however, after a surprisingly clean win at SummerSlam and easy dominance over his brother following the match.

    3. Randy Orton (5)

    The Viper earned a win in his WWE Championship match at SummerSlam, but since it was by disqualification, he didn’t earn the title.  An impressive showing against Justin Gabriel of The Nexus on RAW before being distracted into a countout loss by Sheamus helps Orton climb the ranks.  (My vote:  N/A)

    4. The Miz (1)

    The United States Champion was snubbed by Team WWE at SummerSlam in favor of his former NXT rookie Daniel Bryan, but that doesn’t take the Miz down too far this week, since he caused Bryan to be eliminated, then cost him a match against Michael Tarver of The Nexus the following night along with current NXT rookie Alex Riley.  (My vote:  N/A)

    5. Daniel Bryan (NR)

    In his surprise return at SummerSlam, Daniel Bryan single handedly eliminated at least two members of The Nexus before being taken out by his former mentor The Miz and his Money In The Bank briefcase.  The following night, he impressed against Michael Tarver, but once again the United States Champion stopped him from attaining victory.  (My vote:  7)

    6. Sheamus (4)

    The WWE Champion drops in the rankings again after failing to earn a victory over Randy Orton at SummerSlam.  Eating an RKO on RAW doesn’t help stop him from falling either.  (My vote:  N/A)

    7. Alex Shelley (NR)

    Despite the entire top 5 of my ballot being TNA wrestlers, Alex Shelley is the first representative of that company to appear on the official Power Poll for this week.  If you’re going to pick a top guy for TNA, this is one of the four men that deserve that honor after the impressive match in which the Motor City Machine Guns retained the TNA Tag Team Championships on the Whole F’N Show.  (My vote:  3)

    8. Chris Sabin (NR)

    See Shelley, Alex.  (My vote:  2)

    9. Wade Barrett (NR)

    The Leader of The Nexus was the last member of team to be eliminated at SummerSlam, and he redeemed himself enough to gain a spot in this week’s Power Poll by defeating Chris Jericho cleanly on RAW.  (My vote:  N/A)

    10. Rob Van Dam (3)

    The TNA World Champion, what’s left of him anyway, earns the last spot on this week’s Power Poll after an impressive showing against Abyss in a Stairway to Janice match on The Whole F’N Show.  (My vote:  5)

    I also voted for: James Storm (1), Robert Roode (4), Abyss (8), and The Undertaker (9).

    Drowgoddess couldn’t be here today, but we at BWF will be stoked to hear her comments when possible. I just finished watching the Canadian broadcast of NXT when I noticed JoE threw the “G” symbol in the sky. So here is another installment of G’s retarded suffrage that is iMPACT…. you’ve been warned… or as one of my favorite all time wrasslin’ bloggers Zah would say Booyah!!! (more…)

    Well arter a few weeks of doing the podcast thingy, I figured I’d return to the old format and the article thingy this week.  Plus the allergies are pretty bad again this week so I’d save you from hearing me sneeze 20 times in 20 minutes.  So without further ado, I say we get this ship sailing: (more…)

    We’re at the final four, but apparently that’s not a key moment as it was originally supposed to be, since we’re getting another elimination tonight.

    Also Daniel Bryan should be on the show, having another confrontation with Michael Cole.
