Since I tend to grab the non-spoiler match card before writing this, it gives me an idea of what type of suffering I am about to enter into. And dear lord, this one looks redundant and bad. Let’s see if the actual show delivers regardless, shall we?
Resident ThinkSoJoE was at this event, he might get involved.
Oh, bye bye Kelly Kelly Kelly! No one will miss you!

This is all over the inter-web. Being covered by all the wrestling sites as the sign that after BFG, a new era is possible. Russo steps down from being Head of Creative and gives the job to Bruce Pritchard who took over for talent relations earlier from Terry Taylor. This means we might actually have coherent story without the mass amount of interference and if it sticks to the wall swerves. Possibly we could have an actual wrestling program that actually makes sense.
2012 must be the end of the world because this news is too good.
It’s more of a list, really.
Alright. This is going to be a challenge. I’m going to do my best to review RAW, keep up with the twitterverse, and watch my New York Yankees in game 5 of the World Series tonight. Thankfully, I’ve got picture in picture on both of my TVs now, so I can chill in my living room with my laptop and do it all from the comfort of my couch.
Also, I’m pissed off that Ozzy is the host this week. I get stuck with NASCAR dweebs when the Prince of f#$%^ Darkness is hosting this week? Boo! Whatever, let’s go!
Its the first WWE Superstars after Summerslam. Let’s go.
Match 1: The All-American American Jack Swagger vs Mr Cartwheel…Primo
Get down on your knees! I’m a big fan of Jack Swagger…Jerk of the Month in WWE Magazine or not. The All-American American gets the win with his Gut Wrench Powerbomb. After the match, he gets on the mic and says we are looking at the only Superstar born to be the US champ. Watch out Kofi!
Ask the Divas segment….”How do I know if a girl likes me?”
We see Gregory Helms enter the boiler room and out comes The Hurricane!
Match 2: The Hurricane vs Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea
Stand back! There’s a Hurricane coming through. Katie Lea needs to stop wearing her make-up like that. She looks horrendous. Paul Burchill has gotten fat. The Ripper gets the win with the interference from his sister.
Main Event Triple Threat: Dolph Ziggler vs Finlay vs Mike Knox
Winner of this match faces Rey Mysterio at Breaking Point for the Intercontinental title. Dolph says Mysterio’s win at Summerslam was a fluke. Mike Knox is severely under-utilized. That guy is a big sumuma-gun. He attempts to hit Finlay with the sheleleigh (spell check), but misses and Finlay hits the Celtic Cross. Finlay for the pin, but Dolph throws him off and gets the pin for himself.
This show was better than the recent ones have been. At least they made sense this week. Check me out again next week and see if Superstars can remain sensable.
(or “Ten Things I Don’t Want to Hate About You”)
Rather than review the “Best of” show that aired on Spike TV, your Empress of “Impact” has decided to begin 2009 with a wish list for TNA. Many people have commented that this new year has to be better for TNA because it couldn’t possibly get any worse. Whether you personally believe that or not, I have compiled a list of ten things which TNA should make happen in order for 2009 to be their banner year. They are in no particular order.
Well, I guess I have no excuses not to review the WWE shows anymore – I lost my job yesterday. Damned George W Bush. Oh well, that’s almost over. What’s not over? Jeff Hardy’s WWE Championship reign! After winning the title in Buffalo at Armageddon, he survived an assault from Vladimir Kozlov and Edge last week, with a little help from Triple H. What’s SmackDown GM Vickie Guerrero got in store for the Unique Enigma this week? We’ll soon find out!
