Well, I decided to do a podcast this week after all. I’ve also decided that I’m not going to the Vans’ Warped Tour either, mostly because I can’t afford to. So that means your iMPACT review will be up tomorrow. This week’s podcast clocks in at just over 40 minutes, it’s some quick thoughts on the past week worth of shows, and a long winded rant about why ECW now officially needs to change it’s name.
Now would be a good time, I suppose, to announce that I’m going to be doing more blog style posts in addition to the review posts – after the power comes back on at my place of employment. Yes folks, it’s been seven weeks as of today and my job is still to just sit in the dark and tell people to go away. Hopefully that will get fixed soon and I’ll be able to go back to a normal posting schedule around here.
RAW has been unpredictable as of late, which has been a very good thing. However, I think it all stops next week. The reason? Shane and Stephanie announced on RAW tonight that if the superstars and crew can’t band together to make the show run smoothly, actions will be taken – and William Regal’s suspension via the wellness policy ends later this week. I don’t expect them to make an announcement on WWE.com or at the bash, but I do expect an announcement at the start of RAW, much like the ones we’ve been getting over the last few weeks, re-instating William Regal as the RAW General Manager. That said, tonight’s RAW was the craziest one in quite a while. Despite the pleas from Shane and Stephanie McMahon, there was no order whatsoever in this show – and to quote DDP, that’s not a bad thing, it’s a good thing. Where to begin? Well, the beginning I suppose.

It was bound to happen eventually, but I don’t think anybody expected it to happen last night. As I’m typing this, I’m looking over my shoulder because my girlfriend is standing directly behind me, hasn’t seen RAW yet, and doesn’t know what happened, so I don’t want to spoil it for her. She was with me at WrestleMania 24, she saw CM Punk win Money in the Bank live and in person, and we’ve watched him carry that briefcase around on television for the last three months, wondering when he’d cash it in. Well, Edge found out the hard way last night, as he showed up on RAW and walked out minus one World Championship. Even by the halfway point of the show, the WWE writers kept us guessing as to whether or not Punk would even leave with his newly won title in hand, but alas, he did. When my girlfriend does see it, I might ruin it ever so slightly for her though. See, she’s a Jeff Hardy fan – and if Jeff hadn’t violated the wellness policy and missed WrestleMania, he would be World Heavyweight Champion right now. Think about that for a second. Jeff Hardy could be World Champion. Lesson for you kids: Don’t do drugs!

Obviously, if you saw the draft edition of WWE RAW last night, you probably know what happened to Mr. McMahon at the end of the show, and you’re probably finding this site through some search such as “Is Mr. McMahon ok” or “Tower falls on Mr. McMahon.” Was it real? In a word, no. My suspension of belief suspended itself during the segment – because it conveniently happened at 11:03PM Eastern Time, right after Mr. McMahon gave away $500,000. Not to mention that it was painfully obvious that he didn’t get hurt at all, even with the Million Dollar Mania sign “falling on him.” So I’m not going to waste any more time on it, but I am interested to see where they go with it. By the way, if you don’t remember, at the end of last year’s draft edition of RAW, Mr. McMahon blew up in his limo.
Anyways, I made my predictions in yesterday’s post, and I actually got three right – including the night’s first pick, Rey Mysterio coming to Monday Night RAW! If you told me yesterday though, that Triple H and Jim Ross would be making their way over to SmackDown, I would’ve told you that you’re crazy. Mr. McMahon said it was time to shake things up again, and how right he was. Other big names switching shows last night include the ECW Champion Kane heading to RAW, and US Champion Matt Hardy heading over to ECW just after his brother came to SmackDown.

Well, I figure, what kind of a sports-entertainment blog would this be without a prediction article for tonight’s WWE Draft? Since we don’t know the format of the draft at this time, I’m going to give you five picks for each brand and a reason behind my pick. However, first, we’re going to talk about a rumor going around…
Rumor has it that John Cena might end up back on SmackDown after the draft. I will tell you that I think it’s a good idea, if it’s true. I know I mentioned in my audio the other day that Cena feuding with Edge will still not be the feud the brand needs at the top of it’s card, but I also think that RAW’s title picture needs a change of scenery. Obviously we have HHH taking on Cena at Night of Champions for the WWE Championship, which is a rivalry that’s become pretty stale. The match could benefit from a major twist – that being that Cena gets drafted away from RAW to SmackDown tonight, and then the match at Night of Champions becomes about more than Triple H and John Cena. It becomes about RAW fighting to keep the WWE Championship and prevent it from going to SmackDown with Cena. It would put some life back into the Cena-Hunter storyline, and would also mark the end of it.
My picks for each brand, after the jump!
