Here we go! Two guys established going face to face. The tournament becomes more meaningful. Jobs apologizes for his “hissy fits” and “rage” moments promising they will never happen again. Sure buddy. Aren’t you out of the tournament via loss? Will these questions be answered? And the twins continues their tension? Yes, that is what the prelude tells us…
The Underground, (aka Wrestling Revolution Project) created by Jeff Katz debuts officially tomorrow (June 22, 2012) online on the Youtube Awesomeness TV channel.

Tonight was a solid show. Everything worked well and gelled together. Quick warning: Iwill talk about my segment, but I really shouldn’t be the one to critique myself. It seemed there were a lot of people there. More and more people are beginning to show up. I’m seeing MPX get more buzz. There are wrestlers leaving comments on people’s Facebook about looking for bookings there. Wrestling promoters are coming there scouting talent. I talked to a fan afterwards who had been there for the first time and liked it. MPX has survived a lot of difficulties, and it’s nice to see them celebrate one year.
They began the night with the recap. It would be nice to have a voiceover. Kate walked out sporting a new haircut (the consensus was positive from the Ruff family). And she was rocking the obligatory bunny ears. She gave the thanks for all the responsible parties. And the action started, and it started quickly.

Hey all! A few days ago, Drowgoddess lamented on the fact that three members of the BWF staff were in the process of moving, including Jamie Kennedy, JT, and myself. My move took all of a day as I moved from Niagara Falls, NY to Buffalo, NY. South Buffalo, NY. Yes, the same South Buffalo you just saw on the Weather Channel for the past two days as we got buried under 40″ of snow. Meanwhile, back in Niagara Falls, there is absolutely no snow on the ground. Yeah. I picked a good time to move.
My car got stuck Thursday morning, and I called AAA to come tow me out (and change the tire I popped). Twelve hours later, they called to tell me they were helpless to help since they couldn’t get down my street without worrying about getting stuck themselves. The city towed me the next day, and it took me three hours to figure out where they towed it to. I still can’t find a spot on my street…
Alas, this is a wrestling website, and I’m sure something must’ve happened in the world of Sports Entertainment this week. Ah yes, that’s right. MVP asked for, and was granted, a release from his WWE contract. Word is that MVP is trying to head out to Japan for work for the time being.
News is also coming out this week that Superstar Billy Graham has officially booked his last public appearance. Graham’s failing health has led to his announcement that the WrestleReunion event in Los Angeles, January 29-31, will be his last public appearance of any kind. Graham indicates that the end is near for his “run on this Earth,” and while he’s still with us, we’d like to take the opportunity to thank him for paving the way for the professional wrestlers of today.
Matt Hardy babbled on the internet about somethingorother. I couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention. I’m sick of Matt Hardy going online and complaining about anything to anybody who will listen. He’s an attention starved, out of shape, past his prime crybaby with too much time on his hands. Shut up, Matt.
Kaitlyn won WWE NXT Season 3. Nobody cared. The season 4 pros and rookies were announced. Again, nobody cared. Once the show isn’t on TV anymore, nobody cares. Bring on Tough Enough already.
WWE seems to have decided not to go with the whole “Juan Cena” angle. Which is probably a good thing. If you ask me, the whole thing was a work. WWE decided to screw with the IWC, even going as far as to have the character listed on house show cards and actually debut at one last Sunday night. Hell, until he attacked Slater and Gabriel after their tag match, we didn’t actually SEE John Cena – just his armbands. Kudos, WWE. You got one over on us.
Finally, we’re hearing that Shawn Michaels will be involved in some way with the WWE Tribute to the Troops this year, which takes place at Fort Hood, TX. Before you get all up in arms about him doing the same thing that Ric Flair did after the amazing retirement celebration WWE gave him, keep in mind that this is more of a promotional appearance than a return to the WWE. HBK has been a big name in the WWE for the past 20+ years, so why wouldn’t they promote him for an NBC broadcast?
Until next time, take care and stay warm!
MVP is totally going to show up in the iMPACT Zone tonight! He got future endeavored by the WWE today, so obviously with the no-compete clause, the last sentence you read is a lie. I miss the days before that clause… Let’s see what REALLY happened on this pretaped go-home episode…

Hey, my Peeps! Sorry for the absence as of late. I’m in Colorado at the moment and have been really busy lately. That’s no excuse, but life happens. I’m here today to give you some results from this past week’s WWE Superstars. I understand that some people don’t get the channel that carries Superstars, so here we go.
Match 1: Santino and Kozlov vs The Uso’s
Santino picks up the win for his team with the Cobra on one of the brothers. This is good to see, since Santino has been built as a comical jobber throughout the majority of his career in the WWE. We all know he will continue to be that, but it’s good to see him get a win every once in a while.
Match 2: Darren Young vs William Regal
I’m glad Young is getting some face time here. He has talent, but needs to develop his character now that he is out of Nexus. Regal is in a good spot here with a YOUNGer talent…see what I did there??? Regal gets the win here with the running knee.
Nexus invades Superstars. Wade Barrett says that if Cena doesn’t help him win the WWE Title at Bragging Rights, then he will be fired.
Main Event: Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre vs MVP and Chris Masters
I like the pairing of MVP and Masters. I think they could work out if given the opportunity. This was a good match with Cody Rhodes getting the win with the Crossroads.
That’s it for this week. Peace out, Peeps.
I have no idea how this didn’t get posted, but here’s the review for the next to last episode of NXT season 2
We open up what could be a rather uneventful show(if spoilers are to be believed) with a replay of last week’s elimiantions and show closing brawl.
We start out with the pros coming out, Kofi, Ryder, Rhodes, Laycool, MVP.
Next up the rookies. You know be kind of looks like that Batboy from Weekly World News.
Riley is alone because Miz in China.
McGillicutty out last.
(more…)
For the first time we get two eliminataions.
We start out with the rookies coming out. Husky Harris, Kaval, Michael McGillicutty, Alex Riley and Percy Watson.
They’re being given a minute to talk about anything except why they shouldn’t be eliminated.
(more…)
Match 1: Chris Masters and MVP w/Percy Watson vs The Dudebusters
MVP picks up the win for his team after he hit the 305 on Caylen Croft.
Match 2: Chavo Guerrero vs JTG
Chavo gets a rare win with the Frog Splash.
Match 3: Yoshi Tatsu vs Primo Colon
Primo gets the win after he stole his brother’s finisher.
Main Event: The Hart Dynasty vs The Uso’s
The Hart Dynasty gets the win with the Hart Attack. It was kinda cool looking. The Hart Attack was on Jay, but Tyson Kidd saw Jimmy coming and drop kicked him at the same time.
We open with an empty arena. Matt Striker is demonstrating the obstacle course the rookies will have to navigate. Which is much less annoying than season 1’s. The winner will have immunity from next week’s elimination.
