We’re on the final stretch of the Road to WrestleMania. There’s just a little bit more scenery to take in before we hit the exit ramp and head to Reliant Stadium for the biggest show of them all. Speaking of The Big Show, he’s taking on John Cena tonight! What else is happening? I guess you’ll find out when I will!
Welcome to WrestleMania week here on BoredWrestlingFan.com! We’re working overtime this week to bring you WrestleMania related articles throughout the week, and this one is just the first. I want to take the opportunity to talk about the way that I would have booked WrestleMania, starting from the Royal Rumble. Some things would have still played out the way that they have, but other things would have been much different.
Wow. This is it, the end of this long series on WWE Pay Per View. How fitting is it that it ends with Armageddon. The last WWE Pay Per View of the year and the only one between Survivor Series and Royal Rumble.
I present my arguments against WWE Armageddon, after the jump! (more…)
What’s going to happen on SmackDown tonight? Who knows? I sure don’t! There’s only one way to find out – read on! OK, I suppose you could watch the show, so there’s more than one way, but still, just keep reading!
No Way Out is finally over, and ThinkSoJoE finally has USA HD through his cable provider (and SciFi too! No more reviewing Standard Definition WWE shows!). Edge is the World Heavyweight Champion, so what does this mean for the main event situation on Monday Night RAW? Perhaps we’ll find out tonight!
I was thinking about doing this review before the show even aired in my area, watching it early via YouTube around 2:30PM. Then I figured, screw it, I can get drunk and review the show later (on DVR after the Sabres game against the Canadiens), since a drunken review may be entertaining. So now I’m finally awake, got some more nachos (hooray, more nachos!), a beer by my side, and I’m ready to fire up the DVR and watch WWE SmackDown! (more…)
At the Royal Rumble, Matt Hardy cracked his brother Jeff over the head with a steel chair, giving Edge the WWE Championship. On ECW this past Tuesday, we found out that Matt is no longer with the brand and is now officially a member of the SmackDown roster. What will the elder Hardy have to say about his actions? We’ll find out tonight on SmackDown!
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…
What’s up, folks? An inexplicably tired ThinkSoJoE here with you after a short nap to review the blue brand’s go home show before the Royal Rumble. Triple H has been ordered by SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero to face the Moscow Mauler Vladimir Kozlov tonight, and WWE Champion Jeff Hardy, who was burned in a pyrotechnics accident at the close of last week’s broadcast, giving us an update on his condition just two days before his title defense against the Rated R Superstar, Edge!
Well, I guess I have no excuses not to review the WWE shows anymore – I lost my job yesterday. Damned George W Bush. Oh well, that’s almost over. What’s not over? Jeff Hardy’s WWE Championship reign! After winning the title in Buffalo at Armageddon, he survived an assault from Vladimir Kozlov and Edge last week, with a little help from Triple H. What’s SmackDown GM Vickie Guerrero got in store for the Unique Enigma this week? We’ll soon find out!
