  1. WWE Superstars Review

    Giggity giggity giggity it’s time for this week’s review of WWE Superstars… Let’s go!

    Right out of the gate we get the opening match.  Rey Rey against the Gold Standard Shelton Benjamin, with special guest commentating from the Shaman of Sexy, the Guru of Greatness, the Friday Night Delight John Morrison.

    This beginning of this match was awesome!!!  Tons of flying and bumping.  Rey jumped off of the apron and connected with a hurricanrana on Shelton on the outside.  Shelton manhandled Rey a little bit during the match, as most people do.  Loads of athleticism were on display during this really good match.  The greatest line of the match was when Morrison called Shelton “Socially awkward.”  Why hasn’t Shelton/Morrison been announced for Judgement Day?!  That would be a fantastic match.  Rey gets the win with the 619 and springboard splash.  This match was great and gets a 9.8 out of 10…it was that good!  After the match, Morrison and Shelton got in each other’s face and Morrison layed Benjamin out.

    Match number two is Mizark Hizenry facing the ECW CHAMPION…Captain Charisma…Christian!!!  This review will be full of plugs for Christian.  I can feel it now.

    This one starts off with Big Mark displaying his power as well as Christian ability to sell and take bumps.  The quickness and smarts of Christian sends Henry to outside and he hits a baseball slide.  Back from commercial break, Christian continues to exhibit his bumping ability, as he allows Mark Henry to dominate the match offensively.  Christians speed and passion take Mark Henry down, as he hits a dropkick from the top rope.  His agility got him out of several power move attempts by Henry, and he eventually hits a crossbody off the middle rope to pin the World’s Strongest Man.  How can anybody deny that Captain Charisma is World Champion material?!  The guy is gold!!!!!  I give this match a 10 out of 10.  Not really, but it gets that because Christian was in it and got the win (it really was about an 8 out of 10).

    Match number 3 is Big Show against Hornswoggle!  HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 

    This was billed as an exhibition match for Show.  The Big Show picked up the troll and placed him on the top rope and allowed him to do his tadpole splash, but Show moved out of the way.  HAHAHA!  This was rather humorous.  He placed him up on the top a second time, but Goldust did a run-in to rescue the midget and got a chokeslam and camelclutch for his efforts from the Big Show.  This was funny, but pointless.  Since this was not even a match, it gets no rating. 

    The show was one of the better Superstars so far.  At least it didn’t involve any diva wrestling.  The show gets a 8.5 out of 10.  The last segment hurt it a little bit.  Now for a fact of life as I know it…the Houston Rockets are the worst team in the NBA without Yao and T-Mac.  How are the Lakers having so much trouble with them?  This proves they aren’t as great as everybody thinks they are!!! Kobe SUCKS!!!  Thanks for reading and see you next week.

    Tonight on ECW, Evan Bourne returns to action after missing several months with an ankle injury – and since it’s St. Patrick’s Day, I’d venture to guess that Finlay and Hornswoggle will be featured in some way.

  3. Royal Rumble predictions

    6 Comments

    Ah, my second favorite PPV of the year, only behind WrestleMania. This is the 22nd Annual Royal Rumble, a Pay Per View that I grew up watching.  Thirty men enter, twenty-nine leave over the top rope, and since 1993, the man left standing would go on to challenge for a World Championship at WrestleMania.

    On top of that, there’s a few matches going on – all of which could also have major implications on the WrestleMania 25 card, seeing as how they’re title matches.

    One thing that bugged me about last year’s Royal Rumble match was that then-ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero was competing in the match.  The ECW Championship is the top championship (not to mention the only one) on the ECW brand, which means that the winner of the Royal Rumble could theoretically challenge for the ECW Championship in lieu of the World Heavyweight or WWE Championships.  We won’t have to worry about that this year, however, as the ECW Championship is on the line when former champion Matt Hardy gets his rematch with the man who took his title, Jack Swagger.  Hardy took quite a beating this past Friday night on SmackDown at the hands of Swagger, The World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry, and The Rated R Superstar, Edge.  Given Hardy’s history, that could really motivate him going into tonight’s match.  I, however, feel as though there’s going to be bigger things coming up for Matt Hardy than the ECW Championship, so by hook or by crook, I’m expecting Swagger to retain.

    Recently on the RAW side of things, Melina has been a thorn in Beth Phoenix’s side.  The WWE Women’s Champion is fed up with Melina’s antics, and looking to punish her.  What role, if any, will Rosa Mendez or Santino Marella play in thier WWE Women’s Championship match?  I look for Rosa to somehow cost The Glamazon the match, but likely by DQ.  I don’t see Melina getting the title just quite yet.

    Speaking of RAW, World Heavyweight Champion John Cena will be bringing his title with him to the Motor City.  While the self-proclaimed “Hockeytown” is no stranger to championships, neither is Cena’s opponent, John “Bradshaw” Layfield.  In recent weeks, JBL has had his employee, Shawn Michaels, at his side and doing his bidding.  With the Heart Break Kid in his corner, can JBL defeat the man who ended his only WWE Championship reign, taking his title in the process?  Doubtful.  While it would be great for JBL to win the Championship here, only to somehow wind up defending it against Shawn Michaels in Houston at WrestleMania, I don’t think the WWE is comfortable enough with JBL at this particular moment to give him a two month title reign.  John Cena wins this one, with a potential rematch at No Way Out in February.

    A black cloud has been hanging over the head of WWE Champion Jeff Hardy since last year.  He missed Survivor Series because of it, and after winning the WWE Championship at Armageddon, he’s been involved in a hit and run accident and had somebody try to blow him up by tampering with the pyrotechnics.  This hasn’t stopped Jeff Hardy though, he’s determined to show up at the Joe Louis Arena and defend his WWE Championship against the man he took it from, Edge.  Will Jeff Hardy’s emotions get the best of him?  Or will Edge’s overconfidence cost him the belt that he lives and breathes for?  Will we finally find out who is behind the bizarre things that have happened to Jeff Hardy over the past few months?  So many questions to be answered.  My prediction is that Edge will win the WWE Championship back, and this will eventually lead to a huge match at WrestleMania.  I won’t say what I think that match will be, but I will say that it won’t be a one on one contest.

    Finally, the Royal Rumble match itself.  70% of the winners since 1993 have gone on to win a major championship at that year’s WrestleMania.  This year, it could be anybody, as the men I’d predict to win it at this point are all in singles competition earlier in the night.  After giving it a lot of thought, the only man who we know for sure to be in the Rumble that I can say I’d expect to win it all is…  Randy Orton. I see Orton having a rough next couple of months though, instead of smooth sailing into the main event at WrestleMania.  His punt to Mr. McMahon’s head this past Monday pretty much ensures that.

    Guys, I hope you’ve enjoyed this article.  I want to know, who do you think is going to win the Royal Rumble?  Leave a comment and let me know!
