  1. WWE Superstars Review

    Leave a Comment

    Hey everybody and welcome to another review of the 4th most watched weekly WWE show…WWE Superstars.  Fresh off the heels of “Extreme Rules,” what happened? 

    Match 1: Diva tag team match between Rosa Mendez and Beth Phoenix and the Bella Twins

    I hate Diva wrestling, but the Bella Twins are HOTT!  The end of the match saw the referee Marty Alias being distracted by Rosa and one of the twins fighting on the outside and Beth hit her finisher on the other twin.  Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendez get the win. 

    Is it just me, or is Superstars just really random? 

    After the match, there was a video package of the Batista/Randy Orton fued and showed HHH coming back to destroy Randy Orton yet again. 

    Match 2:  Evan Bourne against Zack Ryder.  Woo Woo Woo!

    Zack Ryder is just weird.  He’s the type of guy you just want to make fun of because he thinks he is cool, but in reality he isn’t.  Doesn’t matter….he’ll be gone eventually.  Somehow he warrented a long enough match to involve a commercial break.  Anywho, Evan Bourne wins with the prettiest move in wrestling…the Shooting Star Press.  This was a pretty long match, or at least it felt long. 

    Main Event time:   The 9-time Intercontinental Champion, Chris Jericho against the Guru of Greatness, John Morrison.

    This is yet another random match for WWE Superstars.  I like the pairing, but it makes no sense.  Jericho should be in the World Title picture, not doing IC spots.  Morrison should be the IC champ at this point in his career.  John Morrison can do anything he wants to in the ring.  He is the most athletic performer I have ever seen in a WWE ring.  The end of the match was extremely active,  as Morrison about won several times.  But in the end, Jericho gets the roll up with a tights grab on Morrison for the win.  I hope that this begins a fued, but as we have seen with Superstars in the past, it probably won’t.

    The show was random as usual.  It seems like the perfect place to showcase Diva wrestling, the lower tier talent, and a main event that makes no sense to any storyline.  Alrighty then, I shall see you again next week and thank you for reading.

  6. Thoughts on Wrestlemania

    It’s over now.

    Legend Killer did an utterly bang-up job of real-time results, and by now you all know how the show played out, so there’s little point in rehashing it here. However, as one of the 72,744 attendees, several thoughts seemed worth sharing.

    This article is part 8 of a series on WWE Pay Per View events.  See also:  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, and Part 7.

    We’re almost done with our series on WWE Pay Per View events.  We’ve already discussed seven out of the 10 events outside of “The Big Four,” and after this week’s article on No Mercy, we’ll have just two events left to talk about.

    This article is part 7 of a series on WWE Pay Per View events.  See also:  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6.

    For a secondary Pay Per View, Unforgiven has seen it’s share of big matches. It even got a cool new match associated with it last year, the Championship Scramble.  Still, it’s not making the cut of my reimagined WWE Pay Per View Calendar.

  9. A look at the Hardys storyline

    Leave a Comment

    By now, we all know that Matt Hardy turned on his brother Jeff this past Sunday at the Royal Rumble, blasting him with a chair and costing him the WWE Championship. From that point, several fans of the Hardys came out of the woodwork to condemn Matt’s actions on his MySpace, many of whom seem to believe that because Matt turned on Jeff, it automatically means that Matt was behind everything that’s happened to Jeff since Survivor Series in November. I’m here to tell you why it wasn’t Matt Hardy behind the attacks.

    First, there was the attack the night before Survivor Series. Jeff is out of action, he can’t compete in the WWE Championship match, and Edge swoops in to win the title. The following Friday on SmackDown, Jeff competed in a “Beat the Clock Challenge.” Jeff’s match was first, where he set the pace. Matt was the opponent of Vladimir Kozlov in the challenge, and he did everything in his power to prevent Kozlov from beating Jeff’s time. This shows Matt as being supportive of his brother, rather than trying to harm him. Ultimately, Jeff tied with Triple H in the challenge and went on to a Triple Threat match at Armageddon.

    Triple H had the WWE Championship won at Armageddon when Vladimir Kozlov interfered and prevented him from getting the pinfall on Edge. Matt came out and attacked Kozlov. Matt’s attack on Kozlov would make no sense if he were working with Edge, because Edge was the one Kozlov saved. Jeff went on to win the match and the WWE Championship.

    In the weeks that followed, the Hardys worked together, competing in tag team matches and supporting each other as a part of the “Hardy Party,” which saw both men as World Champions. A few weeks later, mysterious things started to happen to Jeff.

    First, there was the hit-and-run accident. If you watch the “police video,” the policeman asked Jeff if he know the person who hit him. Jeff said that he’d never seen him before in his life. I’m pretty sure that Jeff would have recognized his own brother, even if he didn’t know the vehicle.

    Over the course of the next week, Matt loses the ECW Championship to Jack Swagger, and Jeff returns to SmackDown, only to be blown up when the pyrotechnics were tampered with. This is the only thing that’s happened to Jeff that the storyline will allow me to believe could have been done by Matt. Matt was in the building, Matt was upset because he lost his title, and perhaps he was jealous because Jeff still had his. Not to mention that Matt was the last person to come out and check on his little brother as he was being rolled away on a stretcher.

    The attack at the Royal Rumble shouldn’t have been that surprising, and maybe things look suspicious, but if you look at the facts presented here, it’s clearly not Matt who did all those crazy things to Jeff…
