  4. Power Poll 5/20/12

    Leave a Comment

    This week’s power poll is here!

    1. Paul Heyman (1)

    Take note.  A guy who hadn’t been on WWE Television since he was unceremoniously fired from the company in 2006 is the most over guy in all of professional wrestling right now.

    2. Triple H (NR)

    A guy working a very limited schedule is the second most over guy in pro wrestling right now.

    3. CM Punk (NR)

    The WWE Champion rebounds into the top 10 with a tag team victory on Monday.

    4. Chris Jericho (3)

    Chris Jericho impresses in tag team AND singles action last Friday, and continues against Orton on Monday.

    5. Kevin Steen (NR)

    Ring of Honor is finally represented in the power poll by way of a new World Champion, Wrestling’s Worst Nightmare Kevin Steen!

    6. Bobby Rhoode (NR)

    TNA’s current World Champion makes the top 10 this week as well!

    7. Christopher Daniels & Kaz (NR)

    The new TNA Tag Team Champions make the power poll!

    8. WGTT – Shelton Bemjamin & Charlie Haas (NR)

    As do the new ROH Tag Team Champions!

    9. John Cena (NR)

    John Cena may well have saved the show on Monday, and he makes the Power Poll for it.

    10. Ryback (8)

    Taking Damien Sandow’s discarded opponent doesn’t net Ryback any Power Poll cred, but it’s enough to keep him from falling off the list.

    Fallen Out Of The Top 10:

    Lord Tensai, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Brodus Clay, Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston & R-Truth

    (Last week’s Position)

  5. Power Poll for 5/13/12

    Leave a Comment

    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)


  6. Power Poll 5/5/12

    Leave a Comment

    The power poll is a weekly poll conducted between a whole bunch of IWC sites, including ours, though we rarely – ok, never – vote anymore.  Here’s this week’s results!

    1. John Cena (NR)

    The win over Brock Lesnar despite an injured arm is enough to catapult John Cena back into the Power Poll and knock Brock out of the number one position.

    2. Brock Lesnar (1)

    The pain has arrived in the WWE as Lesnar injures Cena and Triple H in back to back nights, but have we seen the last of Lesnar?

    3. CM Punk (2)

    The WWE Champion once again proves that he’s the best in the world by defeating Chris Jericho at Extreme Rules, but his Over The Limit opponent may have a claim to that title as well.

    4. Sheamus (6)

    A grueling two out of three falls match at Extreme Rules with Daniel Bryan allowed the Celtic Warrior to prove that his WrestleMania win was no fluke.

    5. Daniel Bryan (NR)

    Despite not regaining his World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules, will the answer to the question, “Is Daniel Bryan the next WWE Champion” be “YES!?”

    6. Kofi Kingston & R-Truth (NR)

    While the WWE might be holding off on making the t-shirts after the Air Boom fiasco, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth walked out of RAW with the WWE Tag Team Championships.

    7. Randy Orton (8)

    After defeating the monster in a falls count anywhere match at Extreme Rules, has Orton gotten rid of his Kane nightmare for good?

    8. Cody Rhodes (NR)

    It wasn’t the prettiest victory, but Cody Rhodes took back his Intercontinental Championship in a tables match at Extreme Rules to jump back into the Power Poll.

    9. Ryback (9)

    Two may be better than one, but nine is equal to nine, and that’s where Ryback winds up once again this week.

    10. Layla (NR)

    Were you expecting somebody else?  Layla returns at Extreme Rules to take the Divas Championship from Nikki Bella, then beats BOTH Bellas the next night on RAW, showing the twins the door in the process.

    Fallen Out Of The Top 10:

    Chris Jericho, Edge, Lord Tensai, Big Show, Nikki Bella

    (Last week’s Position)

  7. Power Poll 4/27/12

    Leave a Comment

    Welcome to the Power Poll for another week!

    1. Brock Lesnar (3)

    If this week’s poll is any indication, wrestling fans want to see announcers get beat up and wrestlers demanding things from the General Manager.  Brock Lesnar returns to the top.

    2. CM Punk (1)

    They also love fake sobriety tests, apparently.  Though I have to admit, CM Punk was EPIC during this segment.  He still flubbed saying the alphabet backwards though.

    3. Chris Jericho (NR)

    Chris Jericho returns to action, defeating Kofi Kingston on RAW and setting up said fake sobriety test.  I’m sure it was the great match that sent Jericho back into the top 10.

    4. Edge (NR)

    Want to get into the top 5 on the Power Poll?  Go away for a while then come back.  The voters here LOVE a great comeback.  Hence, Brock Lesnar being in the top 3 every week since he’s been back.  Edge came to RAW to talk sense into John Cena, and he’s sitting at number 4.

    5. Lord Tensai (2)

    Lord Tensai dominates R-Truth, but fails to continue his Power Poll dominance, dropping 3 to number 5.

    6. Sheamus (4)

    The World Heavyweight Champion wins in a six-man on SmackDown (the SmackDown that counts towards these is LAST WEEK’s), but loses ground as he’s screwed over, then forced to tap out, by Daniel Bryan.

    7. Big Show (10)

    Show picked up the victory for his team in said six-man, then picked up the win for his team in a tag match on RAW.

    8. Randy Orton (NR) 

    The Viper didn’t do much of note on SmackDown, but came to RAW, kidnapped Kane’s father Paul Bearer, and then sent the Big Red Monster fleeing through the crowd.

    9. Ryback (9)

    Arrive.  Squash Jobber.  Leave.  A holding pattern for Ryback on both SmackDown and the Power Poll.

    10. Nikki Bella (NR)

    The new WWE Divas Champion rounds out the Power Poll for this week.

    Fallen Out Of The Top 10:
    Daniel Bryan, Santino Marella, Bobby Rhoode, Brodus Clay

    (Last week’s Position)

    Yes folks, the Power Poll has returned to BoredWrestlingFan.com for the sheer fact that I actually bother checking my BWF e-mail accounts on a regular basis.  Who took the top spot?  Who’s off the list?  I DON’T KNOW!  Let’s find out together, shall we?

  9. Smackdown: 02/03/12. Yes, Natalya Has a Farting Gimmick Now…

    5 Comments

    Last weekend was a whirlwind of activity for this G guy. With the Royal Rumble being the highlight, or so I thought, to cap off a content filled Saturday and Sunday, expectations were high. Did the Rumble deliver? Hrmmm… not so much, but I’ll get to that this week with the BWF Radio Crew on Sunday. Until then, let’s see how the outcome of the PPV affected Smackdown this week, shall we?

    I’ll even throw in the Power Poll just for fun. If anyone reading this wants to participate and write for the BWF and/or WPO, this democratic multi-site ranking position is currently available. Toss a message in the comments if you are interested.

    And even though it was kind of a depressing Rumble, we did get this.

  10. Smackdown 01/06/12: Mr. Warrior? Mark Henry Commentates…

    So Randall Keith Orton may be rushing back to action sooner than expected. Even though he describes his injury as “leaking” in his spine. Not a wise move, “Mr.” Viper. So now that that’s cleared up, time for Smackdown. Let’s hop to it, shall we?

    Finally got me a new 3DS!

    I’ll even post some Power Poll results at the end of the article, just because… take a wild guess who made number 1?
