- Solid opening contest. Bourne going over was expected. - Good win for Braddock to give him creditability. - Low KI coming to RAW is something I disagree with. He would be better off on ECW. - Wasn’t expecting Victoria to walk away the champ, at all. - I would sure hope Legacy would beat the champs in a handicap match. - DQ finish to the main event makes sense. Don’t want to give away a clean finish on free TV, I suppose.

Nice way to open the show with the cabinet, hopefully the cabinet is a way to get a world title for JBL. Evan Bourne advancing is good as I don't like Kendrick and hopefully Bourne has a good run in the tournament. Kaval coming in is fine, hopefully you can make him fit in somewhere. Main event was the best part of the show, good stuff. Good way to push more feuds. Here's hoping Cena overcomes Kane at KOTR. One thing is I don't really dig your current champions, but maybe that's just me, don't like them and don't really think their the right people for the positions.
Anyway, you've got a good thing going keep it up.

ECW 5/26/09 Preview-Last week on ECW, Mr. Kennedy announced that Theodore Long granted him a rematch at Elijah Burke's ECW Championship at King of the Ring. Burke teamed with Kevin Thorn to beat Mr. Kennedy & Tommy Dreamer last week, but after the match, Thorn was seen eying the ECW Title. Tonight, Mr. Kennedy will go one on one with Kevin Thorn. What will happen when two top contenders for the ECW Title go at it? -Mark Henry & Ezekiel Jackson seemed to have formed some sort of alliance in recent weeks. Some people were surprised by this news as Ezekiel called ECW his place to shine alone. Regardless of his motives, these two together is a dangerous combination. What will go down when they team together for the first time? -Finally, ECW will feature a King of the Ring First Round match tonight. ECW alumni Kofi Kingston will visit from Smackdown to face the Television Champion, Jack Swagger! Can the "Jamaican Sensation" topple the "All-American American"? Find out all of this and so much more by tuning into Sci-Fi tonight at 9 PM!

This week’s opening video package highlights Mr. Kennedy’s announcement that he was granted a rematch against Elijah Burke for the ECW Championship at King of the Ring. Then it shows Elijah Burke pick up a win in tag team action and him laying out Mr. Kennedy with the ECW Title after that match.We then cut to the opening fireworks and Matt Striker and Todd Grisham welcoming us to the show. They hype up tonight’s scheduled main event featuring the leader of The Brood Kevin Thorn, going one on one with the number one contender for the ECW Title, Mr. Kennedy!Tag Team Match Ezekiel Jackson & Mark Henry w/ Tony Atlas vs. Hardcore Holly & Hurricane HelmsThis was basically a full scale squash match. Neither Holly, nor Helms got in any offense except for a few punches and kicks. Henry hit the World’s Strongest Slam on Holly, while Ezekiel nailed Helms with the back breaker rack. Winners: Mark Henry & Ezekiel Jackson (3:55) **After the match, Ezekiel, Henry & Atlas posed in the ring. Out of nowhere, Ezekiel grabbed Atlas and delivered the back breaker rack to him. Henry turned around to see this and got hit with a clothesline from Ezekiel. The big man tossed Henry to the outside and beat him down with a steel chair. After the vicious assault, Ezekiel screamed something about “being tired of being held back by somebody else” and “it’s his time to shine”.Commercial Break.We now see ECW Champion Elijah Burke enter Theodore Long’s office. He begins to complain about how now he has to beat Mr. Kennedy once again and that it’s not fair. Long says that he feels that ECW can benefit from Burke & Kennedy having a good rivalry and that Burke barely beat him, so Kenned deserves a second chance. Burke storms out, upset.Number One Contender for the Television Championship DJ Gabriel w/ Alicia Fox vs. Hade Vansen w/ Gangrel & Tyler Black vs. Gavin Spears vs. The MizThis actually turned out to be a good contest; despite is being a cluster at times. The main stars here were Spears and Vansen. Gabriel and Miz had problems of their own, after Miz cost Gabriel his match last week in the KOTR tournament. Vansen and Spears battled in the middle of the ring, while the other two were outside. After some rather awesome back and forth stuff, Spears pulled out the victory with a running Death Valley Driver. Winner: Gavin Spears (7:17) **½
Commercial Break.
King of the Ring First Round Kofi Kingston vs. Television Champion Jack SwaggerKofi made a return to his stomping grounds in the land of extreme. This was the match of the night as both men put on a great showing. Swagger dominated in the early portion by using his strength to overpower Kofi. Kofi fought back and hit a big monkey flip in the corner. After nailing his double leg drop, Kofi got a near fall. He went for Trouble in Paradise, but Swagger ducked it, kicked him in the stomach and nailed the gutwrench powerbomb. Winner: Television Champion Jack Swagger (8:24) ***½In the back, we see Matt Hardy talking with Tommy Dreamer, just like last week. Dreamer and Matt challenge Hade Vansen & Tyler Black to a tag team match next week on ECW. Not just any tag match, but an Extreme Rules tag team match.Commercial Break.Teddy Long comes on screen. He announces that next week on ECW, we will see a Second Round match in the King of the Ring Tournament. Surprisingly though, it won’t feature an ECW superstar. Raw’s William Regal will do battle with Smackdown’s CM Punk on neutral ground next week!Singles Match Kevin Thorn w/ The Brood vs. Mr. KennedyElijah Burke was on commentary for this match. This could’ve been a very good main event as both men tried their best, but they just didn’t really click. Kennedy was doing a bad job of selling Thorn’s work on the neck and towards the end of the match he took control. He went for the Mic Check, only to have Thorn elbow his way out of it and hit a crucifix bomb. He covered and the crowd was surprised to see Kennedy kick out. Thorn picked him up and set him up for the Original Sin, but Kennedy broke out of it and pushed him away. As Thorn came back, Kennedy caught him and dropped him with the Mic Check. At that point, The Brood ran in and attacked Kennedy causing the DQ. Winner by Disqualification: Mr. Kennedy (7:59) **That attack from The Brood led Tommy Dreamer, Matt Hardy & Rey Mysterio to run down and go toe to toe with them. Kennedy rolled out of the ring and Elijah Burke crept up on him. Kennedy saw this on the titantron and turned around in time to stop it and nail Burke with the Mic Check on the outside. © WWE 2009 [/center]

- Glad to see Holly on the losing side of a squash. Wish Helms got some offense in. - Wasn't expecting EZ to turn on Henry. I wonder if that makes him a face, now. - Spears as the number one contender is alright, i guess. - Good win for Swagger. - Finish to the main event makes sense. Though, Kennedy needs to get some wins before his next match with Burke.

- Big Zeke and Henry is an awesome pairing, to be honest. Though, I'd prefer them as singles stars, and for Helms not to become a jobber. - HA! Big Zeke attacks. That was a cool segment, and totally unexpected. Good job. - Burke becoming the whiney bitch? Sounds a lot like him. - Still dislike the idea of a TV Title. Would have liked to have seen The Miz win this, as he's the biggest star, but I guess heel vs. heel doesn't work, and Spears > Gabriel tbh. - Swagger beating Kingston is fine with me. - Dislike Hardy and Dreamer teaming. Just doesn't feel like they 'fit' together. - Main event was good, as was the finish. Would like to see how this develops further.

Zeke/Henry make for a solid team. Zeke for future ECW Champ plz. A little meh on Spears winning, probably becasue I have never seen him lol. Swagger would make for a good KOTR I think. Solid main event, the ending made sense to avoid hurting anyone.

Smackdown 5/29/09 Preview
-Last week on Smackdown, Randy Orton defended his World Title in a Judgment Day rematch against The Undertaker. This time around though, Chris Jericho served as Special Referee. Jericho screwed Undertaker out of his shot by disqualifying him. This week, these three will be in the ring at the same time when The Undertaker teams with Jeff Hardy to take on Chris Jericho and Randy Orton. What will happen if Undertaker gets his hands on Jericho? Or if either 'Taker or Jericho can get their hands on the World Champion? And where does Jeff Hardy fit into all of this?
-Plus, Edge & Shane McMahon will once again be under the same roof, just one week after announcing that they will meet for the last time at King of the Ring in an I Quit Match! What will happen next in their saga?
-One final first round match in the King of the Ring tournament will take place tonight, as Raw's MVP will go up against Smackdown's Umaga! Plus, we'll see a preview of the second round, when Shelton Benjamin teams with William Regal to take on CM Punk and Evan Bourne!
See all this and so much more by tuning into MyNetwork TV at 8pm!

Decent opening contest to kick off ECW on Sci-Fi, but nothing too fantastic. Don't like that Hardcore Holly is still in the WWE. And that Hurricane Helms teamed with Holly, seems so thrown together. Whatever happened to Hurricane Helms? Wish he was more than a jobber, to be honest. Mark Henry and Ezekiel Jackson is a boring team, don't really like their blend. Nothing too special for a contenders fatal-4-way match, but I'm unsure about Gavin Spears winning unexpectedly. Wish you'd of had The Miz go over, to be honest. Would a forty-minute show like ECW fit in four matches? Unsure about that, but good match between Jack Swagger and Kofi Kingston. Swagger advancing into the King of the Ring tournament is superb. Bland main event, was really nothing but a way to continue the Brood Version 2.0 vs ECW feud.

Interesting team of Holly and Helms. Happy Jackson and Henry got the win, I really enjoy this tag team. Well, there goes my tag team haha. I am interested to see what you do with Jackson now running solo.
I was really pulling for Hade or Miz to win. I am not going to lie, I am a little disappointed that Gavin won, but it is nice to see you building up someone new.
Very good decision with Jack Swagger going over. I would love Kofi to become a future main eventer on ECW, I feel he could do big things for the show.
Nice way to set up next week’s Extreme Rules tag match.
I love Kevin Thorn being in the main event. Good decision on the ending as it allows both men to come out looking strong. I love that the faces made the save. I like Kennedy laying out Burke.

ECW was good, like that Zeke and Henry are a team, they sure will be unstoppable. Nice to see Gavin Spears win the #1 contenders match, een though i would have liked to see Hade get in there and win it. Nice to see Swagger advance in the KOTR, even though Kofi would have been cool too, but Swagger's the champ, so i dont blame you for putting him over in this one. Nice Main Event, good ending, hopefully Kennedy can get out of ECW soon and get to the big time of RAW and be a big Main Event player.

I think the team of Zeke & Henry was realistic. I wouldn't mind a team of that as long as they don't win every single match. Sucks that Helms lost. I hope he wins the title soon. When I say I like the team, this happens. Well, Zeke was winning majority of his matches. Whenever I read, "ECW Champion Elijah Burke" it brings a smile on my face. That match was clustered. Not to sure with Gavin Spears winning. Dang, sucks Kofi Kingston lost. I don't mind Swagger that much, but I was hoping Kingston would have won. Kennedy winning by DQ was realistic. I loved the ending. Awesome show as always. This diary seems to becoming better and better.

Great opening segment with Henry/Jackson. It will be interesting what you do with Ezekiel now that he is by himself. Surprised to see Spears still around in a 30+ page diary, and it appears that you are pushing him. That's pretty cool. I like the Brood coming back but I highly doubt that Tyler Black would be in it. Good win for Swagger over Kofi, but I hope he recovers. Nice main event with no clear winner. Hopefully Thorn will be in line for a title shot sooner or later. Nice job.

Smackdown kicks off with a video package showing Chris Jericho, as special referee, cost The Undertaker his World Heavyweight Title match last week against Randy Orton.
Vickie Gurerrero and Shane McMahon are already in the ring after the opening Smackdown video. They have a big announcement to make right here tonight. Before Shane can continue, “Coming Home” blasts on the loudspeakers and Edge makes his way to the ring, with a chair in hand. That immediately gets Shane’s attention as he leaves the ring and goes to meet up with Edge. Security rushes to break up the action though. Shane breaks free and attacks Edge through the crowd. Security breaks it up officially after that. Despite looking on worried for Edge, Vickie tells the audience that the co-General Managers of Smackdown have agreed that the World Heavyweight Championship match at King of the Ring, will be a Triple Threat match between Randy Orton, Chris Jericho & The Undertaker.
Commercial Break.
We return to see Randy Orton arrive at the arena. He is immediately told of his World Title match at King of the Ring and he flips out and gets upset.
Divas Match Maria vs. Maryse
Reigning Divas Champion, Natalya Neidhart was on commentary during the match. She kept mentioning how she was easily the best women’s wrestler on the planet and how she’s making her dad proud. The match itself wasn’t much and shouldn’t have opened the show. Maryse picked up the pinfall win in the six divas tag last week, but that didn’t help her much here as Maria got a surprising win after hitting the Beautiful Bulldog.
Winner: Maria (4:13) **
In the back, Randy Orton barges into Vickie Guerrero’s office and demands to know the deal with his World Title match. She said that while she doesn’t find The Undertaker to be very deserving of a third title shot, it was Shane McMahon’s input on the match. Orton still doesn’t seem happy, but he leaves without another word.
Commercial Break.
Tag Team Match Jesse & Festus vs. The Second City Saints
This turned out to be nothing more than a way to get the Saints another victory under their belts. As rumors have already stated, Jesse & Festus could be on their way out, and it showed here as they didn’t get much offense in during the match. Goldman finished the match by forcing Jesse to submit to the Chicago Crab.
Winners: The Second City Saints (5:23) **¼
After the match, we cut to the back where Shelton Benjamin is interviewed. He basically said that the winner of the King of the Ring tournament will receive a World or WWE Title shot in the future. He says that when he goes on to win the tournament, he will get his title match and he’ll still have his Money in the Bank shot in his back pocket, just in case.
Commercial Break.
King of the Ring First Round Montel Vontavious Porter w/ Eve Torres vs. Umaga
So far, this was the match of the night. Both men did their best and worked a good match. As expected, Umaga dominated for a while, but MVP made a strong comeback. He fired away at the big Samoan and hit his Player’s boot in the corner, followed by the Ballin’ elbow drop. He covered by Umaga kicked out. After a few more minutes, Umaga began to argue with the referee’s slow count. He got mad and pushed the referee to the ground. Out came Jeff Hardy who nailed Umaga with the Whisper in the Winds. He went and woke up the referee. MVP nailed the Drive-By to pick up the win.
Winner: Montel Vontavious Porter (9:52) ***
Commercial Break.
In the back, we see Chris Jericho enter Randy Orton’s locker room. He tells Orton that he better be ready out there. And that at King of the Ring, he will complete his two goals on Smackdown. He will win the World Championship and he will defeat The Undertaker. He walks out and again, Orton doesn’t say a word.
Tag Team Match CM Punk & Evan Bourne vs. Shelton Benjamin & William Regal w/ Layla
With this being a preview of the next round, it was mostly Regal & Punk interacting, and Bourne & Benjamin. Ironically, the winners of those two second round matches will meet in the semi-finals at the King of the Ring pay-per-view itself. Bourne and Benjamin stole the show and it looked as if Benjamin had it won after the Shell Bomb onto Punk, but he got his foot on the bottom rope. The match came to an end after Benjamin was nailed with the GTS, followed by the Shooting Star Press.
Winners: CM Punk & Evan Bourne (8:33) ***
We now cut to the back, where we see The Brian Kendrick walking with Lawrence Knight. He defends his United States Title, next.
Commercial Break.
We return to see the Second City Saints talking about their victory earlier. The Bella Twins come up to them and both of them start to hit on Scotty Goldman. He’s really into it and likes it even more when the girls start to argue over him. He leaves with them, while Steel looks on, shakes his head and laughs.
Next, we cut to the New Hart Foundation, who is in the back and watching what just occurred between the Saints and the Bellas. Natalya calls the Bellas sluts, while Wilson and Smith sarcastically ask if that’s the best the WWE can offer for them as competition.
United States Championship]The Brian Kendrick (c) w/ Lawrence Knight vs. Carlito w/ Primo [/color] Carlito showed flashes of why he was considered to be a potential future World Champion in this match. He got the crowd behind him during his comeback in this one. He had to comeback because Kendrick started hot and even hit his signature turning frog splash. Carlito had the match in control, until he was distracted by Knight tossing Primo into the guardrail. That distraction allowed Kendrick to hit The Kendrick to end it. Winner and Still United States Champion: The Brian Kendrick (8:11) ***¼We cut to see Jeff Hardy walking towards the arena because our main event is next!Commercial Break.
Tag Team Match Chris Jericho & World Champion Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy & The UndertakerAs expected, this was a fantastic main event. All four men are great workers and it showed here. Also as expected, Orton and Jericho worked over Jeff and kept him from tagging in The Undertaker. Despite this good team strategy, Orton and Jericho either argued with each other or shot each other dirty looks. Eventually, Jeff managed to make the tag and ‘Taker cleaned house. He took out both of his King of the Ring opponents and then locked Orton in the Hell’s Gates submission. Jericho broke it up and Jeff blind tagged himself in. Orton pulled the referee close to him and Jeff set up Jericho for the Twist of Fate. Jericho dropped down and hit a low blow behind the ref’s back and then nailed a Codebreaker to end it. Winners: Chris Jericho & World Champion Randy Orton (12:13) ***¼After the match, Jericho celebrated his victory only to have Orton creep up behind him. When Jericho turned around, he was greeted with an RKO. Orton was then run out of the ring by The Undertaker, who stared him down as the show cut off.© WWE 2009[/font][/center]

- I saw the triple Threat coming, expecting it too be a good match. - I don't really like Maria going over Maryse but Its fine as Maryse won last week. - Jesse and Festus should really be released Good that SCS went over. - I sure hope Benjamin doesnt win KOTR aswell might ruin it a bit. - Jeff vs Umaga at KOTR? Nice Match there, Glad MVP went over without Umaga being made to look the weaker man. - I'm liking these little segments with Orton. - Solid Tag Match here, Good how the faces won, predicting that Punk and Benjamin advance to the PPV. - Nice segment there to keep the Bellas on the show, They should be out the door soon. - Nice way to put TBK over there without Carlito seeming weak. - Great Main Event there. Heels going over is fine. Nice ending with the RKO to Jericho.
Very nice Show Man keep it up can't wait for KOTR.

5/30/09 Edition-As rumored last week, the WWE went through with some releases. The Superstars released are listed below and the WWE wished them the best in their future endeavors. Manu Mike Knox Ricky Ortiz Ron Simmons The Boogeyman Kung Fu Naki Jesse Festus-Also as rumored last week, the WWE will be bringing up Sheamus to team with Finlay. The feeling is that they will get over as a team due to being managed by Hornswoggle. Also, Kaval is expected to debut on Raw between King of the Ring and Night of Champions. -Word has leaked that there will in fact be an Ironman match coming up within the next few months. Most likely at The Great American Bash, because SummerSlam & Night of Champions are scheduled to feature 9-10 matches and there won't be enough time for an Ironman match. -The WWE is very high on the good crowd reactions that Tyler Black has gotten as he has put on great matches with CM Punk and Rey Mysterio so far, and he stole the show in The Brood's match at Judgment Day. It's very possible that his popularity may cause some friction in the group and could lead to a break up.

Hehe, sorry I just can't keep attached to this, no reason, but I just sort of lost track with it. Don't seem to of missed alot, however. Good opening promo to kick off WWE SmackDown, it seemed like a decent promo, looking forward to the World Heavyweight Championship triple threat match at King of the Ring. Maria beating Maryse is okay I guess. Don't like either women performers. Jesse and Festus seem to of turned into jobbers-to-the-stars. The Second City Saints winning is fine. Montel Vontavious Porter beating Umaga is suprising. Aren't both men heels? Nontheless, good bout. CM Punk and Evan Bourne beating Shelton Benjamin and William Regal is fine, nice tag team match, there. The Brian Kendrick retaining the WWE United States Championship from Carlito is fine, no big deal. Chris Jericho and Randy Orton beating Jeff Hardy and The Undertaker is fine, seemed like a solid main event. King of the Ring is looking good, but nine matches? Don't like the idea of that.
