Well hello out there. Long time no see, well I’ve seen the site just the site hasn’t seen much from me lately. But here it is your big surprise, my big return. What did you actually think that we were gonna charge you? Well it’s good to be back and let’s this show on the road and look back at some of the things that happened while I was gone: (more…)
As you’re all aware, or should be, the WWE Draft was this Monday on RAW. The supplemental draft was yesterday at noon (Eastern time), and I had to leave for work before it was all over. However, my beloved @Niki_Sushi made sure that I knew all the results so that you would all be informed of what was going on.

I don’t know about you, but it looks to me like RAW got robbed a little and got not a whole lot in return. I’m excited, however, to see Drew McIntyre on RAW, as well as both Swagger and Beth. Should be pretty damn good.
Hello, my loves. I know it’s been a very long time since I’ve put up a review, but… It’s the WWE Draft!! I’d make some kind of smart comment, but I haven’t seen RAW in a few weeks. So, here we go.
Jesus Christ, we start out with a RAW vs Smackdown fight in the ring. I missed the beginning, as did everyone el- Oh, god. It’s a battle royal. So, don’t ask me what’s going on, but here’s the order of eliminations as I can see them: The winner of this battle royal gets the first draft pick of 2011!
Kane. Khali. Kozlov. Zeke. Slater. Masters. Barrett. Ted DiBiase. Mark Henry. Brodus Clay. Yoshi. Sheamus.

How is everybody this week? Well as the world turns and the days get longer and we get closer to our inevitable end, I realized something. I have another article to write. Well without further ado, here it is: (more…)
Welcome, lads and lasses. it’s Wednesday once again, which means another column from yours truly. Before I get into it, I have to mention something my eleven year old brother told me, after watching the WWE draft. He says that every draft pick made was ‘shocking’. But it’s his descriptions of two trades in particular that got my attention. He describes RAW’s draft pick of Triple H as a ‘rockbreaker’, and SmackDown’s draft pick of Chris Jericho as a ‘Poosmasher’. Now, I dont know what in the hell that means, but that has to be the weirdest description of the draft I have ever heard. Until now.
For those playing at home, the WWE Draft was this past Monday night for all you American viewers, and for those expecting Mel Kiper Jr., i’m sorry to say, you were sadly disappointed. With everyone trying to work out which superstar will end up where, I went to the King of Drafts, Mel Kiper Jr. for his thoughts. Mel Kiper’s Draft picks.
The WWE Supplemental Draft airs today at 12PM, and rather than post the results here (I have connections), Joe will bring you the results LIVE, exclusive to BoredWrestlingFan! (then they will appear on every other wrestling website you can find). Although, I will give you one hint. ECW will draft more people than they did in the LIVE draft Monday night.
What else has happened in the wrestling world. TNA have a PPV coming up.
I wish they would air ROH’s weekly show in Australia. I have been wanting to see some real wrestling for a long, long time, and now they tease me with showing ROH in the US. The hell with watching it online. I want to watch it on my TV screen. Make this right.
Got a girlfriend’s birthday coming up? Maybe an anniversary? You just cant find the perfect gift? Listen to my friends the Lonely Island, and with help from the famous JT, they show you the perfect birthday present.
I still have no entries for the competition I started in last week’s column. I don’t want a hundred entries, I’d be happy with one, so I can declare a winner and move on with life, but you people just want this to hang over my head for a few weeks. I’ll let it slide this time, but next time. Well, I may not be as friendly.
Finally, for this Wednesday, I’m going to talk about the UEFA Champions League. Football you ask? Soccer you ask more? Why are you ending your column about that? Simple. My favourite club side. FC Bayern Munchen of Germany played in the Second Leg of the Quarter Finals against FC Barcelona of Spain. Now, Barcelona had a 4-0 lead from the First Leg in Spain, and with the return leg in Germany, Baywern couldnt get the job done, only being able to provide a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, in the other game, two English clubs, Chelsea and Liverpool squared off at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s home ground. In the first leg, Chelsea managed to beat Liverpool, at Liverpool’s home ground by a score of 3-1. I could tell you what happened in the second leg between these two sides, but instead, the match was so good, I have decided to show you all the highlights. Enjoy.
That’s it for another week. Keep your browser at BoredWrestlingFan.com for the latest and greatest in all things of the world.
BWF Podcast 2 (Right click, save as)
Well folks, despite being under the weather and pressed for time, I managed to record a Podcast on the night I promised to. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to post it last night, so here it is, finally. A look at the WWE Draft and the McMahon sillyness from this Monday’s RAW among other things.
Due to the length of today’s post, I have edited it to better suit the front page. The draft picks will be listed here by brand at the top of the post, and the in-depth analysis will be found after the jump.
RAW
SmackDown
ECW

Well, the WWE Draft was last night. ECW lost a couple guys to RAW, and gained one from SmackDown. The first superstar on tonight’s show was the newest member of ECW, Matt Hardy. His tag team partner for the night, one of the newest RAW superstars, former ECW superstar CM Punk. The main event for the night featured SmackDown superstar Mark Henry taking on ECW Champion and current RAW superstar, Kane. Why bother with the draft and the brand extension if you’re going to have the guys wrestle on different brands anyway – especially RAW draftees going back to wrestle on ECW. Does that mean JR can work RAW next Monday in Oklahoma City? Speaking of the draft, I know this is the ECW post, but there is going to be a supplemental draft today at noon on WWE.com – we’ll have LIVE coverage here on BWF – unless of course I fall asleep.

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.
The rest of the draft choices, and the matches that got them there, after the jump!

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!
