  1. Power Poll 10/20/10

    1 Comment

    I haven’t been voting the last couple of weeks, for whatever reason, and I apologize for not getting the poll up here on BWF last week, but here we go with this week’s!

    1. Wade Barrett (Last week: 1)

    Abusing his power over John Cena and The Nexus and utterly destroying the WWE Champion leaves Wade Barrett number one on the Power Poll for the second straight week.

    2. Big Show (NR)

    The Big Show led the entire SmackDown roster into RAW and led them to victory (along with Edge) over the RAW roster in a battle royal.  Huge momentum for the World’s Largest Athlete heading into Bragging Rights on Sunday.

    3. Randy Orton (3)

    The Viper teamed with John Cena to defeat Husky Harris and Michael McGuillicutty, but his failure to fight off The Nexus after the match leaves Randy Orton at number 3.

    4. Edge (9)

    So much for Smurfette – Edge saved The Big Show from certain elimination and helped win the battle royal for Team SmackDown Monday night.

    5. The Miz (2)

    Having the testicular fortitude to face The Big Show in a one on one matchup and then lasting as long as he did in the battle royal probably didn’t do as much for The Miz’s standing on the Poll as his Smurfy promo against Team SmackDown.

    6. Kane (4)

    The Big Red Monster was nowhere to be found Monday Night when SmackDown invaded RAW, but neither was his brother The Undertaker, so I suppose that’s not that surprising.  As long as he is the World Champion, it seems Kane has a spot in the top 10.  Will that continue after the buried alive match?

    7. John Cena (6)

    Cena’s subservience to Wade Barrett continues to push him further down the Power Poll.  What I don’t get is why Cena looked upset Monday Night while the rest of Nexus destroyed his long time rival Randy Orton.  Oh well.

    8. Jeff Hardy (5)

    It goes to show that as long as you’re a World Champion, you’re likely to be on the Power Poll.  Of course, Hardy, despite slipping this week, is still riding that wave of momentum that winning a title will get you in this voting process.  We’ll see what he does on iMPACT this week and see where he winds up on next week’s poll.

    9. Undertaker (NR)

    All the Undertaker has to do is make an appearance, and it seems that he’ll make the Power Poll.  That’s the power of the Phenom.

    10. Daniel Bryan (NR)

    The WWE United States Champion made the WWE Intercontinental Champion tap out Monday on RAW, and then busted a move with the smart, sexy, and powerful WWE Divas.  Bragging rights are on the line this Sunday!

    Dropped out: C.M. Punk, Sheamus, Rey Mysterio

  2. WWE Superstars Review

    2 Comments

    Hey everybody!  Tharvey1 here with the WWE Superstars Review for the Thursday April 16, 2009.  Since this is the debut of the new Superstars, lets get this thing started off right. 

    Match number 1 of the night was Matt Hardy vs. The Undertaker. 

    The match started off with Taker dominating inside and outside the ring.  As soon as the action got back into the ring, Taker went “Old School,” then sent Matt back outside the ring with a clothesline over the ropes.  After the commercial break, Matt reversed a chokeslam into a neckbreaker, and then got his offense in.  Taker then hit a bigboot as Matt tried to jump off the top rope, thus putting Taker back in control.  The end of the match saw Matt scramble out of the ring and walk back up the ramp for an intentional count-out.  Jeff Hardy does a run out and forces Matt back into the ring and into a chokeslam.

    This was a pretty good match.  Not too many spots to screw up, although I’m sure Shelton Benjamin could have found a way to if he were involved.  I give this match a 7 out 10.

    Match number 2 of the night was Christian vs. Finlay in the Finals of the Elimination Chase for the ECW Championship

    I was in attendance for this match and the main event.  During the ECW taping, Tiffany made this match for Superstars.  The start of the match was slow and saw a lot of restholds.  This is understandable, as both men had participated in the triple threat match with Tommy Dreamer not 45 minutes before hand during ECW. 

    The middle of the match saw a descent mix of power and tope rope spots.  The finale of the match had Christian hitting the Unprettier (yes I will still call it that, even though WWE wants to call it the Killswitch).  This was a good, short match, especially for both men’s second match of the evening.  Christian is one of the best talents in the WWE, and hopefully he gets his shot eventually.  There’s my cheap plug of the evening for Captain Charisma.

    I give this match a 6.5 out of 10

    Match number 3 and “Main Event” of the evening was Shane McMahon vs Cody Rhodes

    Before the match, Shane cut a promo with Eve backstage about Randy Orton.  Blah, Blah, Blah.  Whatever…who cares?…time to wrap that angle up soon.

    The beginning of the match had Shan’O Mac taking control, and treating Cody like the girl he has been made to be over the last few months.   Cody got a little offense during the middle of the match.  He got outside the ring and went for a chair, reentered the ring, and had the chair confiscated by the referee.  Shane got tossed outside the ring by Cody, grabbed the chair, and promptly struck Cody with the chair.  Cody wins by DQ. 

    After the match, Shane hits Cody a few times with the chair and sets him up for the Coast to Coast with a trash can from under the ring.  Terrible effort with the Coast to Coast.  Shane’s getting to old for that spot.

    I give this match a 5 out 10.

    Pretty good debut for the show.  I can only hope this doesn’t turn into another Velocity or Heat.  I will leave you with a random fact of life as I know it:  RDLee loves Bacon!  Had to give him a return shoutout from his realtime review.

    Thanks for reading, and see you next week for another review of WWE Superstars.
