We’ve got ourselves another World Heavyweight Championship match tonight as Jeff Hardy defends against former champion CM Punk. Why waste any more time with an introduction, let’s get started!
Weclome to the War for another week, were we dwelve into the happenings of the week that was.
For those who watched Monday Night Raw this week, I’m sorry you had to sit through that. For those who didn’t, well it’s a good thing you did.
Jeremy Piven was guest host this week, andwas entertaining at times. Whereas his co-host, Dr. Ken, was not. He was just, awful. The highlight of RAW was Chris Jericho, during the match between Kofi Kingston, and Jericho Tag Team partner, the Big Show. Jericho’s commentary provided the lone highlight for this viewer, in an otherwise dull show. I might just have to start boycotting WWE programming.
However, also on that same broadcast, John Cena defeated the Miz. That may not seem a shock, however, the stipulations for the match, were plentiful. Because the Miz lost, he is banned from the SummerSlam, the Staples Center and Monday Night Raw. That means, the former reality show star does not offically have a show yet, according to these stipulations. Let’s just hope that he isnt in TNA in four months.
Jeff Hardy should not be World Champion.
Does Legacy really mean that much to the company, if they have to do the J.O.B to the returning D-Generation X at SummerSlam?
TNA are having a clearout. No, you can’t buy t-shirts at half price. You can buy, genuine supporters of Jeff Jarrett. That’s right! Dutch Mantel, and Savio Vega have been given the boot, and they can be yours to own for only $49.95. Not even Billy Mays could get you a better deal. Act now, and Dixie Carter may throw in the added bonus of one Vince Russo. Might I also suggest buying TNA stock. That’s if, TNA actually have a stock option.
Did anyone else notice Kaz during the recap of Comic-Con ’09 on iMPACT last week? That would mean that Kaz, Daniels and Suicide, were in the same place at the same time. That means … who the hell is Suicide? (NOTE: Suicide is Nicole Bass)
Who has dodgier facial hair? Carlito, Primo or Kurt Angle?
Time to step outside the realms of the wrestling world for a moment here.
Watch Code Monkeys on G4! and buy the DVD! You will be entertained. I promise.
Has anyone ever had their Tom Selleck BlackJacked?
It seems that Vanessa Hudgens is at it again. You’d have thought that after the first time she posed nude for her phone, that she wouldnt do it again. Well, she did it again. This just shows you what exactly High School Musical brings to the world. Underage Porn.
Short and sweet. Just the way I can be bothered writing it. I shall go back to Guitar Hero.
The main event for WWE Superstars is John Morrison vs Kane. Let the randomness begin.
Match 1: Christian (the next ECW champ) vs the man who despises foreigners William Regal
Continuous lockup to start the match, into a reversal of headlocks. This match has shown alot of flexibilitly and technical skill. William Regal pushes Christian off the top rope and to the outside, in a dangerous bump. You Suck chants aimed towards Regal start in the crowd. Back in the ring after the commercial break, Regal controls Christian’s head and neck in a series of blows and torque moves. After being sent back outside the ring, Christian re-enters and connects on two missile dropkicks from the top rope, but misses on the flying headbutt. Regal gets a near fall after a reverse t-bone suplex. Christian gets thrown into the corner and hits the springboard sunset flip on Regal for the win.
Match 2: Evan Bourne vs Jamie Noble
Jamie Noble has gotten slow. This match was a pretty good back and forth contest. Evan Bourne is amazing in the air. At one point, he came off the ropes and connected on a head scissors take down from a standing position. Bourne gets the win after the prettiest move in professional wrestling. His Shooting Star Press is what makes him a superstar.
Main Event: Kane vs The Friday Night Delight, The Shaman of Sexy, The Guru of Greatness John Morrison
Morrison is a future World Champion. Hopefully sooner rather than later too. This match was really good. Any time you have the best athlete in the company going up against one of the greatest big men to ever step foot in the ring, you have a great mix. John Morrison gets the win after Kane threw a chair in his face. As Kane looks to do more damage, Khali comes out and Morrison hits Kane in the back with a chair. Kane then runs off as Khali enters the ring.

Greetings, fellow line-crossers!
Your Empress of “Impact” is here, with a review of tonight’s go-home show and predictions for Sunday’s “Sacrifice” pay-per-view. Tonight’s episode is titled “Double J in Jeopardy.” Will the TNA Founder remember to phrase the answer in the form of a question? Let’s find out!
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.
New name. Same old dribble.
It seems that the folks at BoredWrestlingFan.com, liked my first column, and have allowed me back for a second week, and with this being Wrestlemania 25 week, I’m here to talk about the WWE’s biggest PPV of the year! Or not.
For you see, in a little over two weeks from now, Total Nonstop Action have a PPV entitled ‘Lockdown’, in which every match takes place, inside of the ‘Six Sides of Steel’. The main event of this event pits the TNA World Champion ‘the Icon’ Sting, against the man of many personas, ‘the Hardcore Legend’ Mick Foley. Two of the oldest, rundown names in TNA go one-on-one for the gold, in a company that is apparently pushing the ‘younger’ talent up the ranks.
Also announced for this PPV, is the New Japan Tag Team Champions, Team 3D, against the TNA Tag Team Champions, Beer Money Inc., in which both sets of titles will be on the line. The event is in Philadelphia, Team3D’s second home you could say, since ECW was based in Philly, so the likeliness of having new TNA Tag Champs, is very likely. However, like I said last week, if your pushing the young guys, have Beer Money win. Even in their little ‘Roughcuts’ interview segment with Brother Ray, he said that he’s there to help the young guys, and put them over. I’m the biggest Beer Money fan I know. I wear my James Storm ‘Sorry About Your Damn Luck’ T-Shirt with pride. If Team 3D win, then TNA inches another step closer to becoming WCW.
Then of course, there’s Lethal Lockdown, where teams of 4 or 5, depending on the year, battle each other to determine which is the better team. The team captains for the match, Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe, which were decided in a 20-man Gauntlet inside the steel, will pick their partners to face the other team. Now Kurt has already gone on record, in picking his team, fellow Main Event Mafia members Booker T, Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash. Samoa Jow on the other hand, doesnt want to be Captain. He just wants to match Jeff Hardy for ridiculous face paint, and carry a blade around with him, to make him look tough. Expect Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles and Eric Young to be Joe’s partners.
Onto a topic, of a non-wrestling related manner, Jenson Button, driving for Brawn GP, led a 1-2 for his team in the first race of the Formula One season, after Sebastien Vettel, driving for RedBull Racing, and Robert Kubica, driving for BMW-Sauber, collided with each other with three laps to go, whilst sitting second and third respectively. After the 1-2 finish in Melbourne, Australia, Brawn GP decided to sack 270 of its workers. What a way to celebrate,you helped win us the race, now we dont need you. Also, the Brawn GP cars are sponsored by Richard Branson run, Virgin. Does that now mean, that because one of the cars sponsored by Virgin, won the race, will be false advertising for the rest of the year, because it won its first race? I thought you weren’t a Virgin after your first?
Awesome Kong is NOT a match with Al Bundy.
Did You Know? Phillip Seymour Hoffman, is Kurt Angle’s second cousin.
Enjoy the rest of Wrestlemania week! (This coming from the one person, who didnt talk about Wrestlemania in his column.)
