Do you think maybe they regret it, since Edge got injured? I mean, they could just pretend it didn't happen, which I recall them doing before...

Personally, with the Edge situation, I like the idea of Jericho choosing another partner to replace Edge. Could give someone lower down a bit of a push, and would allow for Jericho to bring back the belts' credibility either way.

Ahhhhh, THAT'S why Edge was still on tonight - I wasn't even thinking about that.

Considering DiBiase Sr. was before my time, it was interesting to see him 'in action' - I see what everyone means with the laugh. :P I'm beginning to like this 'different host every night' deal; it gives a SLIGHT feeling of unpredictability - which says a lot nowadays.

DiBiase Jr. didn't do too badly tonight, either. I was actually hoping for a win, just for the hell of it.

Smells like an MVP / Swagger feud. Didn't know MVP was in jail for a decade, either. o_O

Gail Kim proves again why she carried the Knockouts Division on her shoulders for so long. I know fewer people are paying attention to the Divas anymore, but she's still worth watching.

The Superman vs. Superman match wasn't as bad as I thought........although it was ruined by bullshit in order to make ANOTHER match between all 3 - HOW MANY OF THOSE HAVE WE HAD IN THE PAST FEW YEARS!?

Yup, pretty much - although we all know that Carlito is most comfortable in Heelsville anyway.

yeh.. sucks tremendously that he's gonna be out for a while.. especially just right after he makes the dream team with jericho!.. if jericho gets injured too i'm gonna be very upset, but luckily jerichos not so injury proned

I like it too, i hope they bring back some old personalities for this storyline, maybe have some one night appearances from the likes of Mean Gene Okerland, Trish Stratus, Roddy Piper, hell maybe even RVD.. you know.. the guys who aren't with WWE anymore, but still are in the good books with them.

same, the guy deserves it

I did, his mugshot is online somewhere.. i wouldn't mind seeing this fued for a while, 2 good wrestlers.. but it would be better if a title was involved for some reason.

Yeah I knew moving her to RAW was a good move, but still i'd rather see her as womens champ than divas champ.. but then again, she could also join McCool in the whole "only divas to hold both the womens title and divas title" accomplishment

Honestly, I couldn't wait for Carlito to turn heel again, I knew he would as soon as they lost the tag titles.. but i have a feeling that Primo's singles run will be a lot brighter than his older brother's.. mainly coz I hear Primo seems to be more motivated backstage than Carlito.

So, is ECW not on till Thursday this week? Stupid Raw taping/shooting schedule.

Yeah, apparently with the name change to SciFi (now SyFy right? Yeah...so much better *eye roll*) they decided to run the primier of a new show, and push their top rated show off to Thursday night, cause they're just so gosh darn proud of it. I think Dave Scherer has a point in thinking that ya know, maybe WWE gutted ECW and puts so little effort into it because it's very obvious SyFy isn't very enthusiastic about having it.

Still, if its their highest rated show you'd think they would want to keep it around.

From wrestlezone.com:
WWE.com has posted an article detailing the surgery that Smackdown star Matt Hardy recently underwent to repair a badly injured abdomen. Hardy commented on the procedure by saying "I want to sincerely thank the WWE and everyone who had a hand in blazing my path back to being a 100 percent healthy Matt Hardy. Everyone at the WWE has been great to me in helping and supporting me through this tough procedure. I also want to thank Dr. Pappas and Duke Medical Center for doing an awesome job of putting my abdomen back together again." WWE.com has also posted a pretty graphic photo of Hardy's surgery.

I wish him a speedy recovery. He wrote in great detail about the injury and said it had been nagging him as early as his fued with MVP.

Also:

CommercialAppeal.com is reporting that Jerry "The King" Lawler has decided to officially run for Mayor in the city of Memphis. Lawler made the announcement himself during a radio
appearance on WGKS-FX this morning. This will be the second time Lawler has run for the office of the Mayor, having run and lost to Memphis' current Mayor back in 1999.

Wouldn't it be weird if he won?

Apparently CyberSunday is back on and they changed it back to that. Thats vince for you, allways changing his mind.

Sorry for my not posting, but i'm so tired after my counseling at a summer camp at my highschool.

I don't think it's in danger of cancellation or anything like that, but a lot of networks are usually not happy to have "low brow wrestling" on it. They like the ratings it brings, but usually it doesn't bring much in the way of premium ad partners. I'm sure they're hoping to build up other shows around it, and it's always going to be a red headed step-child to them.

Yeah, Matt Hardy is absolutely insanely hardcore from what I read about the situation. Get well soon and thankfully he's on a brand again that should reward that kind of dedication.

It would, he did run before in 1999 and got 12% of the vote. I tend to think this is more or less another thing for Lawler to keep his name out there and something fun for the local press and WWE to play off of.

ECW was on at it's normal time in Australia and can I just say that I find it hard to believe they brought back that abraham washington show over giving Shamus or reks another match.
What is up with that?
Does the guy even wrestle? The segment was terrible.

Apparently Shamus is pretty decent, or at least I've heard he was in FCW. I'll agree with you on Washington though, last weeks segment was just painful to watch. Cryme Times word up bit is gold compared to it.

This weeks was even worse.
There in the ring you have Tommy Dreamer and some n00b is spouting fat jokes to him!?
They weren't even good or original fat jokes, they were lame.
Tommy dreamer isn't fat.
I don't understand why they have a general manager is seldom seen who could be and should be filling that role as to generate, control and move feuds on.
I don't see why they brought Washington to the show at all, what does it achieve?

I have a theory.

What is up with that?

Here's my theory: It's popping Vince. Vince thinks this kind of dumb "comedy" is actually funny and he likes it so creative will put this sort of slop out there to make the boss happy. Or it's just down to people on ECW creative having lost their goddamn minds and with so much talent depletion they're just trying anything to fill time. But I think the first is more likely.

Does the guy even wrestle? The segment was terrible.

I'm sure in their mind they're building up to that and putting heat on him ahead of time.

just watched ECW

That Shelton/Yoshi match was pretty damn good!.. if they keep this fued up, i might actually go out of my way to watch ECW, it was also good to see shelton get a clean win over Yoshi to bring his rep back up after his embarrassing loss last week.

Finally Ezekiel Jackson makes his debut on ECW, something that bothered me though is that they kept saying that he was part of the new talent initiative thing when clearly he was drafted from SD! to ECW months ago.. anyways very nice showing from ezekiel, i really liked that move where he threw his opponent up in the air and caught him on his shoulder, also that clothesline was pretty powerful.. he really has improved alot since teaming with the brian kendrick, though his mic skills probably still need some work.

Damn man that Abraham Washington guy sucks ass.. apparently he had a president inspired name as well as a presidental gimmick back in FCW coz they thought he resembled Barack Obama.. he doesn't look anything like Obama at all.. anyway seems like he's a heel now coz he made a lot of shots at Dreamer about his weight... cause he's SOOOOOOO FAT! yeeeah.. i gotta admit Dreamer made me laugh when he made cracks about Washingtons Hair.. seriously it looks like its made of rubber or plastic, its very shiny too.. anyway it brings out kozlov who seems to be smiling a lot more lately.. and he has a new and very red attire

i'm glad christian won the match.. i actually did think kozlov was going to win.. but im glad christian won..

The WWE seems to think we all have very short memories, all the wrestlers who have moved from ECW to Smackdown all seem to have wiped their pasts.
What we've seen before is all brand new again apparently.

Matt is hardcore dude. You can say what you want about him but its hard to question his dedication to the industry.

I'm looking forward to SD tonight. It will be the last time we see Edge for a while. That really is a shame. It will be tough going without him since he is such an entertaining person to watch. I think Jericho and Punk will have to fill in as the top heels for a while.

*****SPOILERS******.... well sorta..

just finished watching smackdown.. what the hell was with R-Truth's promo?.. confused the shit out of me lol

Agreed. I have no idea what that was about. I will say I loved Punk's promo on Jeff prior to his match with Khali. And then there was the main event... WOW! Best TV match this year, easily. SD is worth watching just for Rey vs Jericho.

As for Abraham Washington, there's a reason why he hasn't wrestled yet. The guy is pretty damn awful in the ring.

Right, let's get this straight:
Awful, awful talk show segment? Check.
Flat mic skills? Check.
Shit in the ring? Check, supposedly.

So, countdown to future endeavours?

Oh, and ECW had a distinct lack of Sheamus this week. I really think he's going to go places.

Did anyone happen to catch last night's Superstars? If you didn't, good for you. The show had Chavo vs Hornswoggle as the main event (With the stipulation being that Chavo had to wrestle on his knees), and included a Ricky Ortiz match that lasted more than 10 minutes, and was just as terrible as it sounds, AND a Zach Ryder match that went 15 minutes.. I'm not even making this stuff up.

On a random note, I came across a fed called PWU. The only thing I know about the fed is this...

They booked a match between Raven and "Twisted Sand" Tyler Fullington, for those that may not know, Twisted Sand is the son of The Sandman (Yup, the same son from the old ECW). Kinda makes me feel old.

i think you guys should watch this.
Tell-All Book Reveals That Wrestling Fans Are Fake

Just got this from PWI:

WWE has announced that the "guest host" for this Monday's Raw will be actor and producer Seth Green. Green is one of the producers and creators of Robot Chicken on the Cartoon Network, and his best known movie role is probably playing the son of Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers movies.

You can read WWE's announcement at this link.

This marks the first time a "non-wrestling personality" will be the guest host, as Batista and "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase were the previous hosts.

That's a pretty cool move by WWE and it fits right into the demographic they want to go after as I think it'll be worth watching to some savvy fans of RC (which is a very funny show if you've never seen it).

seth green?.... seth green?!
i mean i like the guy and all, and robot chicken's a great show.. but.... wow... i don't know what to say..

hmm it'll be worth watching, i wanna see where this is going..
though he is tiny.. so i'm expecting that he'll get laid out by someone like swagger or miz.. coz special guest celebs seem to get a bit of an ass whooping most times

Guess this means Mr. Ziggy might possibly fill Edge's void for Jericho. Good-yet-interesting timing.

The Jericho/Mysterio match delivered on all fronts; Jericho once again shows that he doesn't follow the Four Moves of Doom formula (why the fuck don't other wrestlers follow his example is a shame), and he didn't come out looking weak - he rarely does. The guy can sure put on one hell of a match.

The Kane/Khali feud MIGHT be better than expected, as this could make Khali look dominant again - something he needs after him putting Ziggy over.........although Punk nearly beating him tonight didn't do him any favors, either.

NOW Long gives Morrison the 'I'll take that under consideration.' speech. Guess it had to be delayed. Just a matter of time now. ^_^

The Hardy/Punk feud just keeps getting better & better - almost as if Creative is channeling Russo to a degree.

I dunno, I'd say Dolph was going to go into a singles feud with Rey, and this was just the transition into that, because SD! was obviously filmed before Edge's injury.

Now things have changed though, I could easily see them give Ziggler the rub of being with someone as awesome as Jericho.

SD was really good last night. The Rey/Jericho match blew everything away and I would consider it the best TV match of the year so far. Lots of really cool spots and both guys came off looking great. This also plants the seeds for a Ziggler/Rey fued for the IC title. This could also meanthat the WWE has an option to let Ziggler fill in for Edge as Jericho's tag team partner.

wtf was wrong with R-Truth? Is this supposed ot be funny? Because it wasn't.

The fued between Punk and Hardy is really turing out to be a very interesting and compelling story. SD is kicking ass!

I'm glad things are getting better for Dolph Ziggler, i have a feeling Ziggler's gonna vs Mysterio at NOC, I'd really like to see him leave as the IC champ.. there were also rumours that he was going to take edge's place as tag team champ, but it doesn't seem the case now..

Also why the hell are they making the Hart Dynasty look so weak against Cryme Tyme?! they trained in the fucking Dungeon and they make it look like theyre win against Cryme Tyme was a miricle!
