Smackdown

We kick off Smackdown with Christian. He comes out and explains that he isn't doing anything for his peeps again which means he has now officially turned heel. Is this a good thing as there seems to be quite a few top heels on the Smackdown brand. Christian gets Michael Cole into the ring just to talk to the fans as they would be now asking if he should be champion and got a chorus of boo's for asking. If I were to pick the champion for Smackdown then it would be, Sheamus.

The first match of the night is a 6 man tag match as we have, The Corre; Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater against Ezekiel Jackson and The Uso's, Jimmy and Jey Uso. Big Zeke and The Uso's get the victory, but what was a surprise in the match was that Barrett walked out on his team mates, Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater. I guess he has technically left The Corre and that the faction/stable are no more.

Sheamus goes to Teddy Long backstage and requests a match against Christian but gets a match against Randy Orton instead; and the match is No DQ so obvious Christian will get involved. Slater and Gabriel walk away from Barrett backstage saying The Corre is over.

Trent Baretta is in the ring for action against Jinder Mahal. Quite a short decent match for Jinder Mahal who got the victory via his unnamed finisher but as I explained last week it is some sort of a Full Nelson Side Slam. This guy has a future in the WWE as long as storylines permit.

AJ Lee is backstage with Jack Korpela and just quickly explained she is excited for her singles match against Tamina. Weird that last week I said AJ was the better of the team, wonder where Kaitlyn is. Tamina also had an altercation backstage with her handing her some cheese and calling her a mouse. AJ responds telling them that Lay-Cool want their gimmick back.

AJ comes out with Natalya by her side still and is facing Tamina who has Rosa Mendes by her side and like I said last week about her, is she just acting as a cheerleader. AJ did well in the match and proved why she should be on her own instead of teaming with Kaitlyn. I'm expecting next week we will get Kaitlyn on her own and she will get the victory. I'm just hoping for more AJ on her own.

Randy Orton comes out to the ring and asks Christian to come and say what he has to say to his face. Christian appears on the titantron and just mock, Teddy Long by asking the fans if he should go and talk to Orton. Christian asks for one more match and explains why Orton is still champion from last week. The match then gets booked for Orton Vs Christian at Capitol Punishment as Christian asks for it and Orton says you are on. Christian then leaves in a car after explaining it is when he wants to do something it will happen not when Orton does.

After a short segment between Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr we see that Sin Cara will be in action and he is against Ted DiBiase Jr. Cody comes out and as he said will be calling the shots for Ted's match due to the recent matches he has had. Yet again the situation with the lights and a Sin Cara match happens and I guess like me it is getting on a lot of peoples nerves. For the length of the match it was decent until Cody got invovled. Cody and Ted started beating up Sin Cara and Daniel Bryan came in for the save.

Teddy Long then booked a tag match between Cody/Ted and Bryan/Sin Cara. As we came back from the advert the match had already began. Such a quality tag team match and Daniel Bryan thank god got the victory via the LeBell Lock.

Again for another week I skipped the From The Vault match which saw Edge beat John Morrison. Johnny Curtis cuts another weird promo in which basically he is saying he has a chip on his shoulder, even though in the UK that would have translated to crisp on his shoulder. After a short promo from Orton we are here, main event time.

Sheamus Vs Randy Orton is the match and No DQ is the rules. Was a decent match that was PPV quality in my opinion. Christian also got involved and attacked Orton with the title again.

IMPACT Wrestling: 09/06/2011

We kick off IMPACT Wrestling with Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff (who are reportedly annoyed with Vince Russo's booking). They cut a short promo about talking to the "Network" and how the network love the changes. Also how the "Network" love the X-Division which means Destination X should be great. Eric then calls out Sting and Anderson. Anderson comes out as himself for once instead of "Young Sting". Hogan then explains when he met with the network a few weeks ago he said that nothing is going to happen during Slammiversary's World Title main event and that there will only be a winner and a loser in the match.

Mr. Anderson says to Sting that he was imitating him and making a joke out of his character and that Sting overall is a joke. As obvious during a last promo he claims that he will beat Sting and become the champion. Sting takes over now and says that he will he will not and can not lose the title because he has the power that way. Just a usual promo from Sting now asking Hogan to change and not to be who he is right now, just going after all the power.

Mickie James and Tara are against Angelina Love and Winter in tag team action. Quite a decent knockouts match and all of the divas/knockouts wrestling has made me proud this week. They have all put on good performances. Angelina Love picks up the victory with her new finisher, don't know what it is called or how to explain it, but what I can say is she got the victory mainly due to interference from Madison Rayne that knocked down Tara. The only problem right now with TNA/IMPACT Wrestling is all these little divas feuds. We have gone nowhere now from the ODB/Velvet Sky situation and straight back into the Winter/Angelina Love/Mickie James storyline and mixed in a Madison Rayne/Tara storyline.

Robert Roode is backstage where he just gives a brief talk about how Shelley/Storm have to go out and beat Mexican America tonight before they worry about, The British Invasion at Slammiversary. He explains how he is slightly annoyed he can't do anything where as Mexican America have the numbers game on Shelley/Storm tonight. Mexican America just talk about how they don't get what they deserve because of the American's who just take it away from them. We get footage of the Samoa Joe/Crimson brawl which was obviously set up and then I believe it is Jason Hervey asking, Jeff Jarrett how his wife, Karen is.

Mexican America come out ready to face Gun Money (Shelley and Storm, even though Storm is the "Beer" in Beer Money). The British Invasion are on commentary. Magnus uses the "Conspiracy" word which is being thrown around in wrestling recently about how Shelley and Storm are not officially the tag team champions as they didn't win the titles as a team. Quite a decent tag match and what I expected with the miscommunication of Shelley and Storm that cost them the match. Would have been better if Hernandez got the pinfall. We also witnessed, Sarita and Rosita get invovled; who didn't expect that? My plan looks like it is happening and they will lose the titles at Slammiversary.

We have a backstage segment where basically, Mr. Anderson tells Gunner (is he still part of Immortal) to forget about Eric Young and help him by hurting Sting. The good jackass Hogan came out in the backstage segment with Mexican America. What I mean is how he told them that there is no messing around with him and Bischoff.

Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle come out but Jarrett says instead of a slanging match, Angle will just have to listen to him. He explains how he bought Angle into TNA. How Angle became an egomaniac. How Jarrett took everything away from Angle; that being his wife, his kids, etc. and how he wants to end it all and have the Olympic Gold Medal which Kurt Angle posses. Angle explains he is happy Karen isn't around as he only wanted him and Jeff, 1 on 1.

ODB cuts a little promo about how she is going to just beat up Velvet Sky who just represents the fake people. Kaz and Kendrick are going out to try and find Abyss.

Bull Ray has an open challenge which is accepted by RVD. RVD gets the victory in what was a short match and quite poor in my opinion. It was mainly, lets go back and see the move that just happened, another move happens so lets go back and see a replay of it. AJ comes out gets into the head of Bully Ray and then RVD gets a victory via the 5 star frog splash.

Kaz and Kendrick find Abyss who books himself in a match at Slammiversary against the two guys for the X-Division title which he calls the Xtreme title, well I believe that is how I should spell it due to the big X on the belt.

ODB makes her way out for her match with Velvet Sky but not from the ramp and without music. Velvet Sky then comes from behind to attack her. After a while once it is all in the ring and the bell has rang, ODB instantly goes for a pinfall. Velvet Sky gets the victory after a DDT? I'm a bit annoyed this match didn't end as quick as the RVD/Bully Ray match did; hell it should have ended quicker than it did. There were several comments by Taz that ODB isn't signed to the company apparently. So why does she get promo time, why is she getting a match, why wasn't she being arrested or taken off the premises for appearing and attacking Velvet Sky before?

Eric Young is still acting his dumb self and says that in the tag match if he gets the pinfall on Sting he has won the title from Sting. Sting the gives him a warning about how Anderson and Gunner will be trying to hurt him and tells Eric not to be a comedy act and actually wrestle tonight in the ring. Gunner and Anderson did what they set out to do and dominated Sting in the match. When Eric Young came in he was quite serious until he knocked into Sting which apparently was a tag. Gunner then got the pinfall and the victory.

After the match we got Sting backstage telling Eric to stop being comic relief. AJ just says how Bully Ray is like a balloon and once you pop him he will be gone forever. Anderson then says Gunner is not as good as Sting and makes a run for it when Sting goes after him. Sting then goes crazy and just beats up Mr. Anderson backstage.

Superstars

We kick off Superstars with JTG Vs Chris Masters which was being filmed when Tough Enough was live. In this match, all I can really say is that Chris Masters was the dominant force. JTG was either taking a break inbetween the ropes or he was being attacked by Masters. Yes JTG got a few hits here and there to Masters but it wasn't enough as the Masterlock became the reality and the match was over.

Divas tag action and we have Maryse & Melina against Gail Kim and Eve. Quite a normal match in my standard for the divas in the short amount of time that they had. Melina picked up the victory after a Sunset Split. The match had some great offense from Gail Kim and the only problem was the botch by Melina.

Mark Henry comes out and yet again the play the trick on him by having someone's theme song play and no one comes out. Matt Striker takes it into the ring and asks Mark Henry why he thinks no one comes out after their music has played. Henry goes on to say everyone is scared of him and that as his music says, if they do come out they are going to get their ass kicked.

Main event time and Vickie Guerrero this time is the manager of Tyson Kidd, even though she is a member of the Raw brand. Tyson Kidd is up against Yoshi Tatsu. Matt Striker says on commentary he is still the agent of Tyson Kidd as he set up the deal for Vickie Guerrero to manage him. Yoshi Tatsu gets the victory over Tyson Kidd again and now Vickie Guerrero has dropped Tyson Kidd (which is kind of expected anyway).

Florida Championship Wrestling

Oh its real, it's damn real. We kick off a great episode of FCW with a Tag Team Title match and it is the current champions, Seth Rollins (who many might know as Tyler Black) and Richie Steamboat (Son of the legendary, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat") against Los Aviadores, Hunico (who was Incognito) and Epico (who is/was Tito Colon). Los Aviadores are 2 time former FCW Tag Team Champions giving them a little bit of an advantage over the current champions; but in an epic encounter the current tag team champions retain their titles ending the match with a double superkick to the head of Hunico.

After an advertisement we have a backstage segment where the general manager of FCW, Maxine (who appeared on NXT season 3 if you remember) acting all close to FCW President, Steve Kerin to find out who his, "Presidential pick is for the 8 man tag team match" in the main event.

Xavier Woods (Consequences Creed from TNA) is up now and he is facing Michael Tarver (yes that guy from NXT season 1 and the original Nexus). Xavier Woods was the winner in what became a bit of a boring match. One of the most exciting parts in the match was actually when it looked like Woods had something because he hit a backdrop sending Tarver into the steel steps, which Tarver had already made available for use.

Raquel Diaz (Shaul Guerrero to everyone who knows) is talking to Jacob Novak who is in his, JTG style gear. He isn't the best speaker on the planet and this small interview/promo kind of bored me. He then points out William Regal who he had a match with on NXT. That happened because Regal made a comment about Novak which annoyed Jacob Novak.

Aksana is putting the FCW Divas Championship on the line against Naomi. Both again were on NXT season 3 and Naomi was the original FCW Divas Champion. Now to comment on this match is quite hard other than the fact Naomi is a pretty decent wrestler and I would prefer to see her on TV winning the real Divas Championship. Aksana got the steal of a victory due to Maxine pushing her so she was on top with the pinfall. AJ then comes out for the save as Aksana and Maxine were going for the beat down.

Team Maxine are, Connor O'Brian from NXT, Mason Ryan from The New Nexus and former FCW Heavyweight Champion, Damien Sandow and Lucky Cannon. Team Steve Kerin are Big E Langston, Leakee, Titus O'Neil who like many others appeared on NXT and is on the Redemption season right now. The final pick which is the Presidential pick is Mr. Florida but after previous episodes of FCW it is quite easy to notice that, FCW President, Steve Kerin chose Bo Rotundo who in the previous episode said he will be taking a few weeks off from FCW. In quite a decent match from the start it was Mr. Florida who in the end got the victory after a great spear (which looked like a gore). He then cleaned house and got rid of the rest of Team Maxine after the match had finished.

I'm not going to be giving FCW a rating but i will say it was a great show and should replace NXT as the talent are just the same. Plus talent who appear on Superstars could have special appearances.

What should replace NXT?

NXT the start of the next generation of wrestlers for the WWE. But after series 1 and 2 the 3rd series of NXT became a diva's version and it took until recently for Kaitlyn to be on WWE TV along with AJ who was part of the same series. Did she get her diva's title shot as well? I can't remember, or was she actually not fighting for a divas title shot. Kaval was the winner of the second series and after a few weeks on Smackdown where he wrestled for the Intercontinental title (unlike the WWE title from the 1 season). We then got series 4 after the divas series which Johnny Curtis was the winner of alongside his pro R-Truth who he was supposed to have a tag team title shot with. After a while he now appeared on Smackdown crying over spilt milk.

We are currently into season 5 of NXT and the winner of this season which features talent that were on former NXT seasons (minus the divas season) fighting for a shot on season 6 of the show. Is there any point in that because the winner of season 6 only gets a contract with the WWE. So after replacing ECW with a poor attempt at a reality/game show. What should have actually replaced ECW?

We all know NXT isn't what we wanted it to be after season 1 plus the fixed voting to make the successful winner of, Wade Barrett. Should we have got Florida Championship Wrestling on TV in the UK and available online for United States viewers. Should we get another version of Superstars? Should we have a 3rd brand back? Could they bring back Heat or Velocity? I'm going to look at the options and what sounds the best choice for fans of wrestling.

Heat/Velocity

Heat and Velocity were the Superstars of time gone by. With Heat and Velocity we got more action for those superstars who didn't get matches on mainstream programming such as Smackdown and Raw. Heat for Raw and Velocity for Smackdown. Many local talents also got in on the action with Heat and Velocity such as Alex Shelley, Samoa Joe, CM Punk, "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan) and more. But having one of them back gives more air time for those superstars that don't have a chance to get on Raw, Smackdown or Superstars itself.

Florida Championship Wrestling

Many should know by now that FCW is the development for the WWE and what many probably don't know is that FCW has its own television program which airs only in Tampa Bay and Central Florida only. That leaves the world to have to search via other mediums to find the recent episodes of FCW online. There is multiple talent who appear on NXT already that are in FCW and appear on their TV program. So giving us the option to watch FCW could be done.

3rd Brand

The two brands mean that there is only a certain amount of chances that some superstars get a chance to appear on their specific brand. Having a few experienced and less experienced superstars and next generation superstars appear on the brand and let them have their own storylines. They could use old WCW names as well such as Nitro or Thunder.

So after 6 seasons of NXT there could be a replacement if WWE realized what their fans want.

Are you Tough Enough for Raw?

Tough Enough Review:

Live final review here. We got a little back track of who had been there and the history of Tough Enough for this series. From this i'm pushing for Andy to win, I was upset to see he came from FCW (WWE's development) to go into Tough Enough but silent rage is finally kicking in.

Andy went home and got to meet his child and his pregnant wife while trying to win back what he already had. Andy is well prepared for the final and his wife is a great supporter of him.

Luke now and he is just a party guy. If anything he believes he will be living the Ric Flair style. His training is really intense like he said and was good to see him and his brother use a wrestling ring to train while waiting to go to FCW. That was fake just then crying to his mom and then when he walks out the door he is smirrking.

This is epic that the tough enough winner will be announced just before Raw starts.

To see the guys are training with Ricky Steamboat and Steamboat's crew that will be great. Steambot is such a legend in wrestling and part of the WWE Hall of Fame. Andy and Luke wil l face Bill DeMott in the 5 minute, exhibition match.

So i've missed a bit of the show due to the internet cutting out. But seeing these two guys training it will be intense with Steambot training them and being in FCW. As said beforehand FCW have helped launch guys into the WWE such as Sheamus, Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler and more.

OK so Luke and Andy are both having their matches air at the same time, kind of. The matches are in montage style to the Tough Enough theme song, "Champion" by Chipmunk and Chris Brown. From what we were able to see i'd say Andy looked well but lets really see what overall, Stone Cold and the rest of the officials say.

We are introduced to the trainers and then they bring out the guys who didn't make it to the final. Trish introduces Andy and Luke out as they are the finalists. Thank god for the fact they allowed Stone Cold to be himself and swear on live tv. Nice to see all the trainers decided that Andy is the stand out. The two finalists just give their thoughts on each other and then Vince arrives.

What did i know Andy won the contract. Quite ironic how the guy who already had a contract in the WWE and was part of FCW has now won a contract for the WWE. Vince welcomed him with a slap and then just then he got a Stone Cold Stunner. Nice that Stone Cold gave him a handshake when he was out the ring though.

Raw Review:

R-Truth comes out while Vince and Stone Cold are in the ring. His public apology was very comical. R-Truth brings up his conspiracy theory again. Thank god the Miz comes out which is awesome. He cuts a little promo about how he was the best champ until A-Ri got invovled with the business. A-Ri comes out now and then John Cena. This sets up for the main event of Cena and A-Ri Vs R-Truth and The Miz.

I've noticed a lot of segments like this happen when someone big is in the ring like, Vince McMahon, Stone Cold, The Rock, Bret Hart, etc. Nice to see, Stone Cold is the special referee for that main event though, but not many days after Smackdown where Christian was special guest referee? Oh and when Bret Hart was special guest referee the previous time on Raw in a tag team match?

So since Superstars we got Santino Vs Michael McGillicutty who is one half of the tag team champions. Very much a normal match from Santio who won via the Cobra. Upsetting that they lost on Superstars to the champs yet only one of them beat one half of the champs on Raw.

Kelly Kelly is in action next teaming with Beth Phoenix. They will be facing The Bella Twins. Nice work from Kelly Kelly to start the match off. I've noticed a lot of diva tag matches recently as well. The match hasn't lasted long enough yet in my opinion and Beth Phoenix wants to tag in. Nice for Beth Phoenix to win the match with the Glam Slam.

So Swagger set up a match against Booker T by saying he doesn't have it any more.

CM Punk is facing Rey Mysterio, yet again. Mysterio gets the victory this time in what I will be calling a pay per view quality match. It had the fans from start to finish and wanted something to happen to Mason Ryan so Rey can get the victory, and that did happen when Rey used a spinning DDT to take out Ryan with his feet. Rey then went to the top to hit a spash (which I always thought was a diving/dropping headbutt).

We got a new Capitol Punishment preview where R-Truth was part of the interviewers with Barack Obama. That press conference was better than previous ones. Cena is talking to A-Ri backstage. Next Monday is going to be a 3 hour All Star episode of Raw. Does that mean everyone is going to be massive and smashing each other out of the ring, or does it mean former stars come back for one night?

Alberto Del Rio comes out now. He brings up what happened 2 weeks ago to The Big Show and says it was an accident. Trust Del Rio to poke fun at The Big Show even more while he is at home injured. Ricardo Rodriguez came out dressed as The Big Show to allow Del Rio to say what he wanted to The Big Show and end with how he isn't threatening The Big Show he is making a promise to him.

Zack Ryder is on Raw now due to the internet revolution. Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero are on commentary for the match as Ryder faces Kofi Kingston. Ziggler is just awesome on commentary and tweeting while doing commentary as well, way to multi-task. Such a decent match from Ryder and Kingston and from this i'm hoping Ryder gets more time on Raw.

R-Truth and Miz are backstage just talking without us being able to hear. It will bascially be about them teaming together. Booker T is seen walking backstage in his gear to face Jack Swagger. Swagger got counted out the match making Booker T the winner and then Evan Bourne came to attack him from behind.

Main Event time and what a special guest referee as he isn't wearing the black and white stripes. So just like how Bret Hart screwed CM Punk; Austin now screws The Miz out of the match as he allows Riley to use the breifcase, hits Miz with a Stone Cold Stunner and then gives the three count after an Attitude Adjustment from Cena. John Cena and Alex Riley get disqualifed due to the order of the Raw GM. Austin is Special Guest GM on next weeks Raw and Stone Cold then trashed the poduium of the anonymous Raw GM.

Raw Rating = 5/5

This is my first rating of 5 for the weekly episodes. This is due to how Raw had me watching from start to finish and was just gripping. Even the divas match was decent. PPV's are rated out of 10.

Laying The Smackdown!

Smackdown!

To kick off Smackdown there is a video package about how it took Christian 17 years and he had his dream crushed but tonight is the night of Sheamus. Proves how much the WWE haven't got over the fact Christian lost now.

Oh and Christian is kicking off the show against Mark Henry... quite a weird show opener in my opinion. The match just was not as good as it could have been. It was very slow and I know Mark Henry is a big guy but hell The Big Show can run. But to me Christian seemed slow and it seemed a bit of a sloppy match. Christian cuts a promo after the match in which right now it looks like he will soon be turning back into his temper tantrum character. Teddy Long cuts Christian off and puts him into the title match later on in the night as the special guest referee.

6 Divas tag team match now Rosa Mendes, Alicia Fox and Tamina (how did she turn heel?) and their opponents are Natalya, AJ and Kaitlyn... or should I say the Chick Busters? Ok so even though we had Rosa Mendes in the ring it is Alicia Fox and Tamina against AJ and Kaitlyn again. Why is Rosa Mendes there... what is she giving Alicia and Tamina... is she their cheerleader? Quite a right time to bring it up, i'm kind of getting annoyed right now with being able to hear the referees... if it was a count out yeah that is fine or the pinfall, but right now when they are saying stuff like watch the hair and basic stuff I don't want to hear it. What a nice Samoan Drop from Tamina to end the match.

Bit funny how we got a promo for Sin Cara during the show. I find it funny due to the fact he is on the roster and has already had his few matches. Will they be sending him down to FCW for a while? I don't think so. Will Averno (WWE's latest signing) be on Smackdown A.S.A.P.? I don't know. What I do know is that Sin Cara shouldn't have been pushed so early on. Even if it is to get those Mexican fans into watching the WWE.

Cody Rhodes comes out right now with his baggers. Such another great promo from Cody Rhodes again and i'm glad he can talk because it has made his character develop well.

Khali has a backstage segment in which Jinder Mahal has replaced Ranjin Singh at his side. Jinder Mahal talks for The Great Khali leaving the giant as he was before, a monster.

Jinder Mahal comes out for his wrestling debut on WWE Television rather than his overall WWE debut. His match is against Yoshi Tatsu quite a great wrestler. Jinder has the look of a heel and more than that a WWE heel. With Great Khali at his side and him at Khali's side this will be a dominant force. Hopefully it works better than when they had Daivari and Muhammad Hassan as heels on Smackdown. Quite a job match there but a nice in ring debut for Jinder Mahal and that finisher, the full nelson side slam was just impactful. Hope to see more from Mahal and a future push down the line. Maybe Del Rio style but he actually wins a title and that being the Intercontinental at first. Khali applied the Vice Grip after the match attacking Yoshi Tatsu.

Ezekiel Jackson gets another shot at the Intercontinental Championship against the champion, Wade Barrett. Quite a decent short match, Wade Barrett got the spinning side slam on Big Zeke again. Barrett got counted out and Big Zeke won the match but not the title and finally he let Gabriel and Slater of The Corre go into the ring alone against Big Zeke after the match as he walked off backstage. Looks like The Corre is falling apart.

Sheamus has an interview backstage he has a quick talk about how Christian shouldn't be annoyed about Sheamus being the number 1 contender. He then talks to Christian backstage and says that wouldn't mind a triple threat match. Christian responds saying that he knows Sheamus is lying and will call the match down the middle, like most special guest referees say.

Daniel Bryan is in action next and he is against Ted DiBiase Jr. Is it me or does the logo on Ted's trunks look like an old Taker logo? Quite a decent match and some great counters by Ted such as the powerful lariat and the dropkick instead of the missile dropkick from Bryan. Daniel Bryan got the victory with the LeBell Lock and then was attacked by Rhodes and DiBiase. Sin Cara came out for the save and slightly botched the first head scissors take down but it actually looked well. Next week should see Sin Cara and Daniel Bryan Vs Cody and Ted (not calling them Priceless again as Cody is the leader).

From the Vault match is something I skipped but it was a great match from Edge and Rey Mysterio. We also got a Raw recap about R-Truth and John Cena's parts. Johnny Curtis backstage was watching the recap of Raw in which he explains after winning NXT Season 4 he should have got a tag team title shot... but because Truth is on Raw and going for the big one that isn't going to happen he then said he is going to do what any other superstar would do and acted out the phrase "crying over spilt milk."

Michael Cole explained that at Capitol Punishment R-Truth will face John Cena for the WWE Championship and a graphic appears for the match, but R-Truth has to apologize tonight/tomorrow morning to get the match at Capitol Punishment. So why was there a graphic for that exact match if it isn't happening unless Truth says he is sorry?

Main event time and Christian as the referee comes out first. Orton is next and then the challenger, Sheamus. Great match and certainly main event quality, maybe even pay per view quality. Sheamus got cost the title by bumping into Christian, Christian went to give Sheamus the three count but stopped after two. A little bit of a push and a shove then Randy Orton hits an RKO to set up the victory. Christian laid out Randy with the title after the match and then began to walk to the back with it over his shoulder. Is he a face? Is he a heel? All I can say is right now, Christian is a tweener.

Smackdown Rating= 4/5

ICW Monday Night BRAW! Review

ICW Monday Night BRAW Episode #3.

First off because it is easier to review ICW Monday Night BRAW. We are into the 3rd episode which can be watched at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OXe4_tB-6g&feature=player_embedded. Noam Dar defended his ICW Zero-G Championship against 5 other men in a 10 minute scramble match. Christopher, Joe Coffey, Dickie Divers, Johnny Starr and Andy Anderson all put on a great match along with the champion, just an exciting match from the first bell to the last. We also saw The Gold Label arrive and just destroy Andy Anderson, Christopher and Johnny Starr after the match and then start mocking the fans and the wrestlers in the back. The Gold Label consists of Wolfgang, James Scott, Red Lightning and Lionheart. Their main opposition are Chris Renfew, Kid Fite, Jack Jester and BT Gunn.

Sunday Night Superstars!

Due to the lack of a blog yesterday there will be quite a few today. If anything yesterday was a busy day for me (even though most days are). I will be kicking off today with a review of Superstars.

First match of the night is Tyson Kidd with new manager, Matt Striker who is resembling Paul E. Dangerously with the whole "on the phone" managing. Yet again Tyson's opponent is Trent Baretta and Booker T takes over commentary for Matt Striker. Usual match from these two and by that Imean a great match from the start. So apparently to begin with Striker wasn't his manager and has just signed a deal with Tyson Kidd to be his agent because he can get his face plastered over WWE.com.

Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel are now up against The Uso's (Jimmy and Jey Uso). Gabriel and Slater were the victors in this match but weirdly enough last time i remember the Uso's they were heels, this time i was cheering them both on and wanted them to get the victory. Such a great encounter between the two teams and i hope to see more from them in the future. Right now though i've just realized the lack of Zack on Superstars.

Divas match and because i'm not a big fan of WWE's women wrestling i've decided to play through this match fast... but now i found out it is Melina Vs Gail Kim i just might watch. I'm glad i watched it as it was quite a match and Gail Kim winning made me happy. Not much i can say really other than Gail Kim's finisher is quite something different to usual finishers.

We got to see that god awful Capitol Punishment promo before a few other things such as the Raw Rewind.

Marella and Kozlov are against the new tag team champions, The New Nexus', David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty. Great thing to see new champions in the main event of Superstars instead of on the actual brand shows, Raw or Smackdown. New Nexus win the match which is great because of the fact they are the tag team champions. Good match to end on and not much comedy from Santino in ring mainly the cobra.

Rating = 4/5
