-Solid promo to kick things off. Happy to see Cena get the upper hand since I already know Cena won't win at Mania'. -Ted DiBiase, my fave to win the MITB winning is good for some momentum. -Mickie winning was fine for the big diva tag match. -Benjamin announcing three talk shows on the three shows is going to be real good for tonight.

March 23rd, 2010 HP Pavilion in San Jose, California Attendance: 17,317
ECW opens with a video package, showcasing Ezekiel Jackson’s dominance last week as he & Jack Swagger won the tag team main event. It then showed Bryan Danielson locking Swagger in the Cattle Mutilation, which left Swagger tapping out.
The announcers aren’t even allowed to introduce us to the show or anything, as we are quickly taken to the ring, which is set up for Carlito’s Cabana. He is in the ring with a microphone, along with the other nine Money in the Bank competitors. Carlito welcomes everybody to his Cabana and says that he brought it back for a special occasion tonight. He wanted to show the world what it looks like to have himself and nine losers in the ring at the same time as a preview before we see it again this Sunday. The other nine guys don’t take kindly to this, but Carlito tells them to relax as it’s all in fun. He wants to hear their thoughts on the match and he first goes to John Morrison. Morrison first says that it feels good to back in ECW, but goes on to say that ever since his debut in the WWE, people have said that he has World Champion written all over him and he’s going to make good on that saying this Sunday. Carlito calls Morrison’s words bland and boring, as he moves on to Sheamus. Sheamus snatches the microphone and says that nobody in this ring has made an impact the way he has so far. He retired his uncle, competed for the World Championship a mere eight months into his career and took The Undertaker to the limit. He claims that nobody stands a chance against him this Sunday. Carlito doesn’t comment on that as he seemed too scared to do so. Elijah Burke speaks next and steals the whole segment. He cuts a great promo about how he plans to hold the Intercontinental & WWE Titles at the same time and even though he was once pegged as the future of ECW, he is the future of the WWE. Before anyone else can speak, Drew McIntyre levels him with a big clothesline. That leads to a huge brawl between all ten superstars. It boils down to the faces going against the heels in the end. They tear apart the set of Carlito’s Cabana and in the end; the five heels are on the outside. Theodore Long appears on the titantron and announces that this Friday night on Smackdown, these ten men will meet in a five on five tag team match! The crowd pops for the announcement as we head to commercial.
Commercial Break [/color] When we return the announcers remind the audience that this Monday night on Raw, the WWE will present the 2010 Draft! Pair that with the WrestleMania fallout and we are in store for an enormous broadcast!Singles Match Ezekiel Jackson vs. Tommy Dreamer[/color] Since his return, Jackson has been on a dominating run and tonight was no different. Dreamer was his usual resilient self and he managed to kick out of some big moves. He did hit a few high impact moves of his own and even nailed the DDT, but Jackson kicked out. Dreamer must wonder what it’s going to take to put down Ezekiel for good. He went for another DDT, but Jackson lifted him into a bear hug. After a few moments in that, Jackson turned it into the Book of Ezekiel to gain victory. Winner: Ezekiel Jackson [8:22] **¾[/color] The cameras now cut to see Josh Matthews standing by with Television Champion Zack Ryder and Courtney. He asks Zack what’s next for him now that he’s thwarted the challenge of Jimmy Wang Yang. Ryder asks Josh “are you serious, bro?” He thinks that Josh shouldn’t ask about anything until Draft night on Monday. He says he doesn’t want to get drafted to Raw because he dislikes Monday nights, and he’d hate to go to Smackdown because he doesn’t want to work on Friday nights when he could be out partying. He tells Josh to come to him again next Tuesday.Commercial Break
Tag Team Match The New Hart Foundation w/ Natalya Neidhart vs. Perfectly Awesome w/ Alicia Fox[/color] These four guys had the two best Tag Team Title reigns of 2009 and this first time ever meeting stole tonight’s show. They once again showed why they are two of the best teams in wrestling. The match featured some very good back and forth action, but Perfectly Awesome picked apart TJ Wilson. He managed to make the hot tag to Harry Smith, who came in on fire, but Alicia Fox got involved, distracting him. Natalya came around and nailed Fox with a big body slam. That allowed Miz to sneak in and nailed Smith with the Skull Crushing Finale for the win. Winners: Perfectly Awesome [11:06] ***½[/color] We now cut to Ashley Valance, who is standing by with Jimmy Wang Yang. He is not dressed like he usually is though. Instead of the cowboy hat, tank top and jeans, he is wearing long black tights and is shirt and hat-less. She asks him what the attire change is all about. He says that for years he has been prancing around as Jimmy Wang Yang and losing last week just proved that it has gotten him nowhere. He knows that the WWE Universe has seen Superstars change their attitudes before, but he is not turning his back on the fans. He is simply going to turn his career around by going back to his roots. He has also dropped part of his name and is now known only as Jimmy Yang. He bows to Ashley and walks off.
Batista is shown walking down the halls, when he stops and enters Rey Mysterio’s locker room. The two hug and greet each other. Rey says that there are no hard feelings tonight and it’s all about competition between brands. Batista completely agrees and that continue to talk before the upcoming main event.Commercial Break[/color] The announcers remind us at home that the final two inductees into the 2010 Hall of Fame class are Ax and Smash of Demolition! They will be inducted by Mr. Fuji.Singles Match Batista vs. Rey Mysterio[/color] The crowd was heavily into this one as it featured two of the most popular guys on the roster. They went at it in a respect filled contest that featured some solid back and forth action. Rey nailed the 619, but it was only enough for a near fall on the big man. Batista figured he had the match won when he went for the Batista Bomb, but Rey reversed it into a sunset flip style roll up to earn the win. Winner: Rey Mysterio [9:01] **¾[/color] After the match, Batista was in shock, but still shook hands with Rey. He pointed to the WrestleMania sign as if to say “see you there.”Commercial Break[/color] We return from the final commercial to be joined by the ECW Champion Jack Swagger. He’s sporting a suit and has the ECW Title on his shoulder. He gets in the ring and gets on the microphone. He tells the audience that he wanted them to get a good look at this picture. Him, with the ECW Title and a big smile. He tells the crowd to get used to it because it’s going to the picture we see on ECW for a long time coming. He is ECW now, which he proved at No Way Out when he beat Tommy Dreamer. Not only is he ECW, but he might as well be WWE since he clearly is the best wrestler in the world. This brings out Bryan Danielson, who gets right into the ring and in Swagger’s face. Danielson tells Swagger that he has no right to call himself that. Danielson earned that nickname from the fans that saw him pour his blood, sweat and tears into this business. He’ll admit that Swagger is a great wrestler, but he’s not deserving of that nickname when he uses underhanded and shady tactics to win matches. Swagger doesn’t take kindly to that and he tries to nail Danielson with the ECW Title, but Danielson ducked. He kicks Swagger in the gut and levels him with some right hands. They continue to go at it until Danielson hooked him for the MMA style elbows. He hits a few, but Swagger manages to reach back and sweep up Danielson’s leg and hook in an Ankle Lock! Danielson would not tap out, but he was in severe pain. Officials finally made it to the ring to break it up, but as the show closed, Swagger still had it locked in. © WWE 2010 [/center][/font]

Kev, I'm waiting for WrestleMania to reply and I'm gonna do the week of build up and then the Mania reply, so here are my predictions: The Undertaker def. John Cena - Undertaker should never be defeated at WrestleMania. Jeff Hardy def. Randy Orton - The royal rumble winner lost last year and the year before, Hardy need to win Edge def. Christian - One World Champion has to retain. Shawn Michaels def. CM Punk - It would make Michaels look weak if he lost. Bryan Danielson def. Jack Swagger - I wouldn't be shocked. Batista def. Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio - Anyone of them can take this but my money's on Tista. Shelton Benjamin def. MVP - Needs it after his title loss. The Dudebusters win the tag team titles - Only team in the match to have not won the titles. John Morrison wins Money in the Bank - Only way I can see him getting to the main event in your diary. Maryse and Serena def. James and Kim - Someone has to retain.

-Solid way to kick off ECW with Carlito's Cabana. Looking forward to the big five-on-five. -Jackson over Dreamer is a good way to build him up. Hoping to see him in like Battle Royal pre-show Mania or something. -Perfectly Awesome winning was good. Hoping to see them win the Turmoil too. -Loving the new Yang gimmick. Don't dry him out. -Mysterio going over Batista was good considering he probably won't win the Triplel Threat. -Jack Swagger getting the better of Bryan Danielson is pretty good to end the show which means Danielson needs the win to avoid falling to Swagger like this twice. -Solid show; looking forward to Mania'.

ECW Good opening building up to the Money in the Bank, I love the build for this match because I could see anybody in the match realistically winning and taking a step towards the World Championship. The draft should be great. Jackson over Tommy Dreamer makes sense, love Ezekiel so I hope his push continues. Love the idea of Zack Ryder not wanting to work Friday nights because he could be out partying. Perfectly Awesome over the New Hart Foundation is fine by me. Tag team turmoil should be absolutely insane. LOVE the reinvention of Jimmy Yang, hope to see him pushed. Shocked that Rey would win, but I'm glad that he did. Hope Jericho wins at WM. I love the show ending with Swagger still having Dragon in the ankle lock. Interested in seeing what happens at WM.
Another enjoyable show on the RTWM. Get WM up ASAP!

- Great job on ECW, great way to open up ECW with Carlito's Cabana and all the MITB participants in the ring all at once, and yes anybody can win the MITB ladder match and use that briefcase to become WWE Champion, ECW Champion, or World Heavyweight Champion
- Big Zeke, my man, I hope his push continues and Ezekiel Jackson becomes a main eventer because he is just so dominating and has been since his return, hopefully he gets drafted over to Smackdown in my honest opinion because that is his best chance of becoming World Champion
- The ECW TV Champion Zack Ryder saying he doesn't want to get drafted over to Friday Nights when he could be out partying or saying he doesn't want to get drafted over to RAW because he doesn't like RAW, is almost an indication that he is going to get drafted to either show, it is just a matter of time
- Perfectly Awesome over the New Hart Foundation was a classic match in my opinion, they are a strong favorite to win Tag Team Turmoil at Mania, and I can see them winning but if not then this will be the end of Perfectly Awesome. I want Dolph Ziggler to turn on The Miz kind of like how a young Shawn Michaels turned on Marty Jannetty, I want Ziggler to do the same thing to The Miz.
- Jimmy Yang drops his gimmick, I never thought I would see the day, I am so happy about his reinvention and hopefully he gets pushed because of it.
- Rey Mysterio beating Batista, I am shocked at that, if anything I would have pegged Batista to beat Mysterio, and at Mania I hope Batista wins Brand Warfare.
- Swagger having The American Dragon Danielson in the Ankle Lock and not letting go, sets up their Mania match to be even more intense, this is an instant classic, probably could be the show stealer both submission style wrestlers
- GET MANIA UP ASAP, AS IN NOW, WE ALL WANNA READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

March 26th, 2010 HP Pavilion in San Jose, California Attendance: 17,317
This week’s Smackdown opens with a video package showing Jeff Hardy’s victory over Shelton Benjamin in last week’s main event. It then shows the brawl between Hardy and Randy Orton, which ended with Orton running off and Jeff hoisting the World Title high in the air.Jim Ross and Matt Striker welcome our viewers to tonight’s Friday night broadcast, the final show before WrestleMania XXVI! They hype up the huge show we have in store, including CM Punk going one on one with The Undertaker, a ten man tag team match, the VIP Lounge and Christian teaming with Jeff Hardy to take on Rated RKO!Ten Man Tag Team Match Carlito, Drew McIntyre, Kaval, Sheamus & Ted Dibiase Jr. vs. Intercontinental Champion Elijah Burke, Kofi Kingston, John Morrison, Mr. Kennedy, & United States Champion Tyler Black [/color] As with all tag matches involving this many superstars, this was rather cluttered. It featured plenty of tags and a lot of big moves. The finishing sequence was breath taking as everybody came in and nailed their finishers in succession. The end of it all came after Sheamus nailed Burke with the Brogue Kick only to turn right into Trouble in Paradise from Kofi. Kofi was then hit with the Scot Drop and the legal man, Kaval, climbed to the top and nailed the Warrior’s Way to get the three. Winners: Carlito, Drew McIntyre, Kaval, Sheamus & Ted Dibiase Jr. [11:01] ***¼[/color] The cameras now cut to the back where we see Shelton Benjamin walking towards the arena in a suit. It looks like the VIP Lounge is next!Commercial Break[/color] Before we officially return, the advertisement is shown, announcing that Ax and Smash of Demolition are the final two 2010 Hall of Fame inductees. They will be induced by none other than Mr. Fuji.The arena is now shown and the ring is set up for the VIP Lounge. Our special host, for one night only, Shelton Benjamin, makes his way down to the ring. He is sporting a huge grin as he gets inside. He begins by discussing his past with MVP. He shows us clips on the titantron to go along with this. He says that their issues date all the way back to WrestleMania XXV, when he knocked the Money in the Bank briefcase away from MVP and took it for himself. MVP couldn’t get over that so he started problems with him at Night of Champions and Survivor Series. But on December 13th, on the very same night that MVP lost his WWE Title, Shelton won the World Title. So at the Royal Rumble, he brought the smack talk back to MVP and evened the score. But, at No Way Out, MVP took it too far and got what he had coming. Then he returns and cost Shelton a spot at Money in the Bank, only to challenge him to an Extreme Rules match at WrestleMania. Shelton reminds MVP that he is a former member of the ECW brand so Extreme Rules is nothing new to him. At WrestleMania, he plans on ending MVP and showing the whole world, once and for all, who the superior athlete is. MVP’s theme hit and he began to make his way down to the ring. Shelton quickly drops the microphone and takes off his jacket. Once MVP enters though, he slides out of the ring. He walks towards the ramp and backs up it, while telling MVP to wait until Sunday. MVP is furious as Shelton smiles and heads off to the back. Commercial Break[/color] In the back, Women’s Champion Serena Mancini is shown walking with Divas Champion Maryse. They stop when they bump into the Straight Edge Society. Serena introduces herself to Punk and says that she really likes what Punk’s been doing here on Smackdown. She says that she has had drinking problems in the past and she agrees with Punk’s views. Punk kisses her hand and thanks her for her kind words. He tells her that he hopes to see her around very soon. Non-Title Match WWE Tag Team Champions Brian Kendrick & Paul London vs. The Dudebusters w/ Curt Hawkins[/color] The Dudebusters continue to improve since their debut a few months back. This wasn’t given as much time as the opener, but it still featured some good action. Sadly, Hawkins cheated the crowd out of a clean finish as he got involved by tripping up Kendrick. Kendrick turned towards him to argue, which allowed Trent Baretta to roll him up for the win. Winners: The Dudebusters [7:54] **¾[/color] We cut to the back where Gail Kim is shown talking with April Lee. Lee says that she wants to go out and beat Serena tonight for Kim. She wants to not only help soften Mancini up for WrestleMania, but to show Kim that she’s deserving of being her partner at WrestleMania. Kim tries to tell her that it’s nothing personal, but Lee talks over her and says that she’s going to go get ready.Commercial Break[/color] Stephanie McMahon and Vickie Guerrero are shown in the back discussing the upcoming Draft on Monday. Stephanie then says that she’s considering a vacation after the Draft and Vickie quickly seizes the opportunity to push her to go on it, so she’ll be fully in charge. Stephanie tells her to calm down because if she indeed goes on vacation, she’ll be leaving someone else in charge with Vickie.CM Punk makes his way down to the ring, along with Joey Matthews and Drew Gallows. They get in the ring and Punk is handed a microphone. He begins to talk about how in two days, he will finally get to extinguish the WWE’s original poison. He reminds everyone that he never believed that Shawn turned his life around all those years ago. He feels that Shawn will forever be a bad influence to all of the WWE fans. They boo him and Punk asks them why. He claims that they should be cheering for him as he represents a straight edge lifestyle, which everybody should follow. He wouldn’t be better than everyone else if they all lived the straight edge way. But sadly, so far, not everyone wants to follow in his footsteps. In just two nights, he will defeat Shawn Michaels and that will show the entire world that he is indeed better than him. After that, Punk feels that people will flock to be just like him. Tonight though, he will prove that he is better than The Undertaker and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop him. Singles Match CM Punk w/ Drew Gallows & Joey Matthews vs. The Undertaker[/color] These two have only met once in the past and that was on the tenth anniversary of Smackdown special. Sadly, just like their previous encounter, this one did not feature a decisive finish. After some very good back and forth action, in which Punk worked over ‘Taker’s leg for the entire match until he made the big comeback and set Punk up for the Tombstone, Gallows got in the ring and nailed ‘Taker in the back. Winner via Disqualification: The Undertaker [8:59] ***[/color] Gallows and Matthews both attacked The Undertaker, but being who he is, he fought them off. He finished them off with a big double clothesline. Punk then hit him with a low blow and ‘Taker fell and rolled to the outside. Suddenly, Shawn Michaels’ theme hit and the roof nearly blew off of the arena. The “Heart Break Kid” rushed down to the ring and traded fists with Punk until he ducked one from Punk and hit him with an atomic drop. Matthews got back in the ring and Michaels went for Sweet Chin Music. Punk ducked and Michaels instead hit Matthews. That allowed Punk to scurry out of the ring and halfway up the ramp. Michaels was begging for him to get back in the ring but it didn’t happen.Commercial Break[/color] Ashley Valance is standing by backstage with the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and the WWE Champion Edge. She asks them how it feels to reunite Rated RKO tonight. Edge speaks first saying that back when Rated RKO originally formed, they knew that they would both be World Champions again and it was only a matter of time. He says that teaming together helped both of their careers so reuniting tonight is pretty damn cool. Orton says that he and Edge are the Champions entering WrestleMania XXVI, just like they were at WrestleMania XXIV and they nearly both walked out of WrestleMania XXV as Champions. Rated RKO is a dynasty and nobody can touch them when it comes to dominating the WWE.Singles Match Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio[/color] As always, the battle between these two was great. They’ve always had great chemistry, dating back to their WCW days. This was similar to their Backlash 2009 match in the way that Rey seemed to be hell bent on revenge. Meanwhile, Jericho was once again trying to pick up a win in any possible way. That eventually paid off as he picked up a win after a roll up and a handful of tights. Winner: Chris Jericho [9:04] ***[/color] The announcers mention that Batista, Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho all successfully defended their home turfs over the past week, but it’ll be neutral ground this Sunday.Commercial Break
Non-Title Match April Lee w/ Gail Kim vs. Women’s Champion Serena Mancini w/ Divas Champion Maryse[/color] Lee continues to grow and impress as she hung tough with one of the best Divas on the roster. Every time Mancini tried to ground her, Lee found a way to break free and take to the air. She showed off an impressive missile drop kick and she followed by calling for the Shining Wizard. Mancini managed to dodge it, hoist Lee up and nail her with the Mancini Code. Winner: Women’s Champion Serena Mancini [5:03] **¼[/color] Maryse and Mancini celebrate the win in the ring as Kim enters to check on Lee. That was a mistake as Maryse grabbed her by the hair and prepared to do her worst. Mickie James rushed down to the ring and the four women began to brawl. Officials had to be called in to separate them and amongst the chaos, Lee rolled near both the Women’s and Divas Titles. She stared at them and looked over at the brawl and then back at the belt. A small smile came over her and she rolled out of the ring. The announcers say that maybe Lee has more interest in Gail Kim’s WrestleMania match than just the fact that her mentor is involved.Commercial Break
Tag Team Match Christian & Jeff Hardy vs. Rated RKO[/color] This almost has an old school feel to it as Christian, Edge and Jeff Hardy were in the same tag team match. Their chemistry together was superb and Orton managed to do well also. He had better chemistry with Jeff than with Christian though. Rated RKO showed their experience as a team as they cut the ring in half and really worked over Jeff. He hit an inverted enziguri and managed to make the hot tag to Christian. Captain Charisma came in firing and took out both of his opponents. He then had Edge set for the Unprettier but Orton nailed him from behind. Christian ended up having to tag Jeff back in, but he came very close to victory. Jeff managed to hook the Twist of Fate on Edge, but when he turned he was pushed forward, right into an RKO! Edge then covered and picked up the win. Winners: Rated RKO [10:14] ***¼[/color] Edge and Orton stand tall to end the final show before WrestleMania XXVI. Christian enters the ring and gets right into Edge’s face. He taps the belt, which is resting on Edge’s shoulder and says that it’ll be his soon. Before Edge can respond, Orton snaps off an RKO on Christian. Orton then slithers his way out of the ring while Edge is left smiling at his brother’s misfortunes.© WWE 2010 [/center][/font]

-Good opening with the MITB preview and the heels winning. Expecting a face to win MITB now. -MVP and Shelton Benjamin is now getting some pretty good hype. Can't wait for that match and hoping MVP wins. -Dudebusters winning the preview is pretty good. Wished Londrick would've own since they've always been a favorite for me. -Good promo for CM Punk as well as the DQ finish in his match against Undertaker. Great to see Shawn Michaels come to SmackDown and hype what is guaranteed to be MOTN. Alongside Taker/Cena. -Woah......Rated RKO returning after Mania? Lovin' that. -Jericho winning on his home turf was expected and now, I may just go with Mysterio for Mania'. -Rated RKO over Jeff and Christian was expected just for their return. Great main event and I think you know what I'm gonna say. -Great show; I can't wait for WrestleMania! Wooooooooo!!!!

Good opening with Carlito, Drew McIntyre, Kaval, Sheamus & Ted Dibiase Jr. getting the win over their MITB opponents. That match should be absolutely insane. Love the idea of Benjamin talking trash to MVP and then sliding out of the ring when there's about to be a brawl. Like the tease with Serena & Punk. Didn't expect The Dudebusters to beat London & Kendrick, but it all adds to the WM match. Punk's promo sounded awesome, him running away from HBK adds to the match. Glad to see Jericho beat Punk, you've built up that 3-way really well. Women's match seemed okay, should be a good match at WM. Hardy and Christian vs. Edge & Orton would have been amazing match to end the show, glad to see the champions prevail. Makes me think they'll both be losing at Wrestlemania though.

- Great job on Smackdown, really good job, I really enjoyed reading Smackdown
- The 5-on-5 tag team preview match for MITB I loved it, especially loved it when all 10 participants nailed their respective finishers on each other, with the heel team winning, but MITB I predict a heel superstar will win the briefcase this Sunday for Mania, my odds-on favorite is Sheamus.
- Loved that back & forth between Shelton & MVP, in the VIP Lounge showcasing their history with one another and how it has brought them to this point where they have to face off at Mania in Extreme Rules, I am predicting Shelton wins at Mania.
- Serena/Punk interaction, I loved it, especially since it was out of nowhere, if anything I predict Serena will eventually join the Straight Edge Society
- Dudebusters being Londrick, that I also was not expecting to happen, but it gives them momentum coming into Tag Team Turmoil
- Punk's promo about HBK looked really great and especially when HBK came out, the roof came off the place, that is awesome, their match has Match Of The Year written all over it
- Jericho beating Rey on Smackdown, that was to be expected since all 3 superstars in the Brand Warfare Match have successfully defended their brand's turf, Mania I am predicting Batista wins Brand Warfare. If not, I think this is what will be the catalyst for Batista's heel turn only if he loses at Mania.
- Rated RKO my favorite tag-team reuniting for one night only, and them beating Christian & Jeff Hardy, that I loved even more, I am predicting it Edge will retain the WWE Title and Orton retaining the World Title

We are now taken to the arena, where special guest Rihanna opens with a rendition of “America The Beautiful”. The opening pyrotechnics fire off and we are taken to the announce team of Jim Ross, Jerry “The King” Lawler and Matt Striker. Jim Ross informs everyone at home that tonight will be his final night of broadcasting for the WWE as he will be retiring. He doesn’t want that to take away from the show though, so he says that we’re going straight to our opening contest.Money in the Bank Sheamus vs. United States Champion Tyler Black vs. John Morrison vs. Intercontinental Champion Elijah Burke vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Ted Dibiase Jr. vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Kaval vs. CarlitoThe crowd went crazy as Kofi Kingston made his way to the ring first, sporting new red and yellow attire. Sheamus, Black, Dibiase Jr., Morrison, Kaval, Kennedy, McIntyre, Burke and Carlito followed in that order. Once the bell rang, a giant brawl ensued. Nobody went for the ladder right out of the gate, so everyone brawled for about two minutes. Some of the action spilled to the outside and we got our first use of ladder when Kennedy closed one and nailed Sheamus in the gut with it. The high spots began shortly after when Morrison placed a ladder on top of Kaval. He then hit the Starship Pain, which obviously caused him a lot of pain. Sheamus and McIntyre began to work together, ramming a ladder into Kingston, Burke and Kennedy. Black jumped off the top and missile drop kicked the ladder into them. He began to climb up a ladder, but midway up; he was stopped by Carlito, who drilled him with a Back Cracker off of it. On the outside, Sheamus set up a ladder from the ring apron to the guardrail. In the ring, Carlito picked up the ladder but was hit with Trouble in Paradise from Kofi. Kofi began to climb, but Dibiase snuck in and hit him with a low blow. He followed it with the Dream Street off of the ladder. He got up, only to be hit with a rolling kick from Kaval. Meanwhile in the corner, Sheamus charged at Burke in the corner, but Burke moved. He then hit Sheamus with the ladder and left him in the corner. With the ladder in front of him, Burke ran and hit the Elijah Express right into it. He was met with the Scot Drop from McIntyre. McIntyre then turned to Kaval, who tried to hit him with kicks, but Drew kept blocking them. Morrison then hit his springboard kick to the back of McIntyre’s head. Kaval took advantage and went after Morrison. He hit a suplex and placed a ladder on his fallen body. Kaval climbed to the top and nailed the Warrior’s Way onto the ladder and Morrison. He then began to climb up and managed to get his fingertips on the briefcase. Kennedy climbed up on the opposite side and stopped him. Carlito was now up and he tilted the ladder over, sending them to the outside. Kennedy only hit the mat, but Kaval went through the ladder Sheamus set up earlier. Carlito now began to climb but Burke set up a ladder next to him and climbed as well. They traded punches at the top until Black and McIntyre each climbed up a side. The four men battled up there until Black took out Carlito with God’s Last Gift off of the ladder. Burke and McIntyre continued to battle until McIntyre raked him in the eyes, knocking him off. Burke fell and bounced off the ropes back into the ladder, sending McIntyre crashing hard to the outside. Burke then turned into Black, who delivered a sick Buckle Bomb into a ladder set up in the corner. He then started to slowly climb but was stopped by the Brogue Kick from Sheamus. The “Celtic Warrior” started his climb but Dibiase stopped him with a hard steel chair shot. He then connected with a second one and was now the only man standing. He began to climb and got really close to the briefcase. Suddenly, Kofi Kingston got back in the ring and jumped straight up to about the fourth or fifth rung in a very impressive display. That allowed him to nail Ted in the stomach. The two traded shots until a stiff kick sent Dibiase off the ladder. Kennedy was back in the ring and he quickly toppled Kofi’s ladder over. Kofi managed to latch onto the briefcase, so when the ladder fell, he was still hanging on. Kennedy began to panic as he couldn’t find a way to get Kofi down. He reached up but couldn’t grip his swinging legs and Kofi carefully unhooked the briefcase, falling hard to the mat. Winner: Kofi Kingston [16:54] ****Officials tend to Kofi who seems to be in a lot of pain. They help him up and he raises the briefcase high to a great pop from the audience.
We now go to the back, where Shawn Michaels is shown in his locker room. A knock is heard and in steps John Cena. The two superstars hug and greet each other. They both say that they have huge matches tonight and wish each other good luck. Before he leaves though, Cena mentions that he’s seen what CM Punk has done to him and he wishes that Shawn not only beats Punk, but hurts him. Shawn says that’s the plan and John heads out.ECW Championship: Jack Swagger [c] vs. Bryan DanielsonDanielson was out first and he got a pretty big pop from the sold out crowd tonight. Swagger followed and received some awesome heat. He was sporting new red, white & blue attire and had a nice entrance complete with pushups and pyro. The story of this match was exactly the same story that has been consistent throughout their rivalry, which was determining who exactly is the “best in the world”. They began with a collar and elbow tie up and Swagger shoved Danielson down. They locked up again but this time Danielson swept Swagger’s legs and worked him over on the mat. Swagger’s no slouch though and he managed to stay hold for hold with Danielson. This ended after Swagger reached the ropes when Danielson had him in a front face lock. Danielson bounced off of the ropes and nailed a big roaring elbow, sending Swagger to the outside. Just as Swagger got up, he was met with a suicide dive from Danielson. Danielson rolled him back in the ring and covered for a near fall. Danielson picked up Swagger and hit him with a European uppercut, followed by a tiger suplex for another near fall. He went to pick Swagger up again, but he was hit with a fireman’s carry. That led to Swagger taking control of the contest for a while. He hit Danielson with a vertical suplex, running knee lift and the Oklahoma Stampede for near falls. Once Danielson kicked out of the Stampede, Swagger hit his slingshot splash in the corner and got another near fall. Swagger then locked in the abdominal stretch and he used the ropes for leverage until the referee saw. He forced Swagger to break the hold, so Swagger began to argue with him. That gave Danielson the time to recuperate and when Swagger turned back to him, he was pulled into a small package for a very close two. They got up at the same time and Swagger quickly hit him with a knee to the gut. He then set up for the Gutwrench Powerbomb, but Danielson swept up his legs and locked in the Indian Deathlock. Swagger managed to reach the ropes though. He slowly got up and Danielson stalked him. He then nailed a German suplex and bridged it for a near fall. He held on throughout the kick out though and began to hit Swagger with MMA style elbows. He then went to turn over into the Cattle Mutilation, but Swagger’s foot was too close to the ropes and he placed it there. Danielson broke the hold and dragged him towards the middle of the ring, and went to lock it in again. Swagger wriggled out of it and hit him with a snapmare. Danielson tried to quickly get up, but Swagger nailed him with a double axe handle in the back and followed it with the Gutwrench Powerbomb for the win. Winner and Still ECW Champion: Jack Swagger [11:39] ****The crowd booed loudly as Swagger held up his ECW Title. He retained tonight and put a stamp on his claim of being the “best in the world.”
Ashley Valance is now shown in the back, standing by with Christian. She asks him how he feels heading into the biggest match of his career. Christian admits that it’s the biggest match of his career, but he isn’t that nervous because he’s faced Edge before and he’s beaten him. He also feels like he’s better than any other point in his career, which he feels will lead him to the WWE Title tonight. He says that it’s his destiny and he will walk out of Phoenix with the belt tonight.Divas & Women’s Championship Tag Team Match Maryse [c] & Serena Mancini [c] vs. Mickie James & Gail Kim w/ April LeeThe challengers came to the ring first to a very good crowd reaction. The Champions followed to some great heat. The match began with a tie up between James and Mancini. Mancini overpowered her, but that did not stop James, who kept charging at her. It failed twice, but on the third try, James took her down with a Lou Thez Press. She then hit Mancini with a snapmare and followed it with a drop kick for a near fall. She made the tag to Kim, who climbed to the top and hit a missile dropkick. She covered but Maryse broke up the count. Kim continued to work on Mancini until Serena caught her with two arm drags. She then hit a big belly to belly suplex for a near fall. Serena tagged Maryse in and she quickly raked Kim in the eyes. She sent Kim off the ropes and hit a spinning back breaker. Maryse followed that up with a camel clutch but Kim began to power out of it. Maryse sat down hard on Kim’s back to stop her. She then waited for her to get up and hit the French TKO but Kim ducked it and hit a tilt a whirl head scissors. She managed to make the tag to James, who stomped on Maryse. She lifted her up and nailed the Mick Kick but couldn’t get the three because Mancini broke up the count. James quickly got up and hit Mancini with the Mick Kick as well. She then turned and tagged Kim back in. Kim picked up Maryse and went to send her off the ropes, but Maryse reversed it and Kim got tripped up by April Lee. Maryse lifted Kim and drilled her with the French Kiss to end it. Winners and Still Divas & Women’s Champions: Maryse & Serena Mancini [6:08] **½Maryse helped Serena up on the outside and they headed up the ramp celebrating to the crowd’s dismay. James checked on Kim as Lee entered the ring. She was apologizing profusely and saying that she thought it was going to Maryse coming off the ropes. Kim and James don’t seem to want to hear the apology and they leave without Lee.
We cut to a video of last night’s Hall of Fame Ceremony and we see the legends get inducted. This is followed by Howard Finkle being shown in the ring and he’s here to introduce all of the 2010 inductees. The Rock, Lita, Animal, Paul Ellering [as Hawk’s representative], Ted Dibiase, Antonio Inoki and Demolition come to the stage to the loud cheers of the crowd.
The General Managers’ office is shown, being shared by JBL, Vickie Guerrero, Stephanie McMahon and Theodore Long. They all seem to be enjoying the show when a knock on the door is heard. In steps Mr. McMahon to a big pop, as we haven’t seen him in months. Stephanie gives him a big hug and asks what he’s doing here. He says that he’s here to enjoy WrestleMania and he’ll be a part of tomorrow night’s Draft. All the General Managers seem to like this idea and Mr. McMahon sits down next to his daughter.Extreme Rules: MVP vs. Shelton BenjaminMVP came to the ring first to a loud ovation from the Phoenix crowd. Shelton Benjamin followed to some major heat as the two former Heavyweight Champions were now set to finish off a long rivalry. Just as MVP did his “ballin” taunt before the match, Benjamin chop blocked him. The bell rang after that and Benjamin had a clear early upper hand. He used that time to really work on MVP’s right leg. He stomped on it multiple times and banged it against the turnbuckle post a few times. Shelton was in complete control by the time he went outside and brought a steel chair in the ring. MVP had just gotten up to his feet, but Shelton nailed him in the right leg with the chair. He then hit him on the ground twice with the chair in the leg. Shelton then placed MVP’s leg in the chair, like Steve Austin did to Brian Pillman all those years ago. He climbed to the second rope and jumped down to stomp on it, but MVP got his leg out of the way. It was now his time to take over as once Shelton landed, MVP cracked him with the very same chair. He didn’t bother to go for a cover as he sent Shelton into the; corner ran in and connected with the Player’s Boot. Shelton fell and rolled out of the ring. MVP followed him out there and the action spilled all the way up the ramp. MVP connected with a suplex on the ramp and then hit the Ballin’ elbow. He then picked up Shelton and Irish whipped him straight into the ring apron. He then took the steel steps and placed them inside the ring. When he went back to Shelton, he was met with a Dragon Whip. Shelton tossed him in the ring and went to get the ring bell. He got inside with it and waited for MVP to get up. When he did, Shelton ran at him with the bell, but MVP ducked it. He kicked Shelton in the gut and hit the Playmaker, but only managed a near fall. MVP then looked at the steel steps and set up Shelton for the Playmaker onto them. Shelton wriggled free and hit MVP with a low blow. He then quickly hit the Paydirt onto the steps, but he made sure his body didn’t hit the steps. Shelton placed an arm over MVP and got the victory. Winner: Shelton Benjamin [13:03] ***½Shelton Benjamin slowly rolls out of the ring to a chorus of boos from the crowd. Regardless of their liking, Shelton certainly earned tonight’s big WrestleMania victory in a hard-fought battle.
Josh Matthews is now shown in the back as he is standing by with John Cena. He asks John about his final thoughts before tonight’s mega-match with The Undertaker. Cena cuts a passionate promo about how tonight’s show down has huge implications and will be the biggest match of either man’s career. He says that he’s going to bring more than he ever has to be the one man to beat The Undertaker. Tonight, it’s either make history…or die trying.
We now go to the arena where Three Days Grace is announced. They perform one of the WrestleMania themes, “Break”, live for the crowd.WWE & World Tag Team Title Unification Turmoil Match Brian Kendrick & Paul London [c] vs. LegacyThe WWE Tag Team Champions came out first, to a very good pop from the crowd, but they’re in for a rough night if they want to be Unified Champions. The same goes for Legacy, who gets booed as they come to the ring. The match went as you’d expect it to, with London and Kendrick starting hot, but Legacy taking control. This was obviously not given that much time as they have many other tags matches to get through. Hennig and Rhodes managed to work over Kendrick for a short while, using a few double team moves. Rhodes hooked him for a suplex, but he blocked it and rolled him into a small package but managed to just get a near fall. Both men quickly made the tag to their partners. London came in really hot, but Hennig weathered the storm and snapped off a DDT for a near fall. He picked up London for the Hennig-Plex, but London reversed it into a Northern lights suplex. He then knocked Rhodes off the apron just as Kendrick hit Hennig with his turning frog splash. London covered Hennig and picked up the first Turmoil victory. Winners of Match #1: Brian Kendrick & Paul London [4:21] WWE & World Tag Team Title Unification Turmoil Match Brian Kendrick & Paul London [c] vs. The Dudebusters w/ Curt HawkinsThe crowd booed as the theme of the Dudebusters hit. They rushed down to the ring and quickly went to work, trading shots with the WWE Tag Team Champions, who they defeated two nights ago. Eventually, the brawl calmed down and we got a regular tag match. The Dudebusters were on their game with quick tags and crisp double team maneuvers. They nailed a very nice atomic drop/running knee combination but London managed to kick out at the last second. They called for the Dudebuster, but London reversed the power bomb part into a hurricanrana. He then hit a big spinning heel kick on Baretta and rushed to tag in Kendrick. He climbed to the top and hit Croft, the legal man, with a missile dropkick. He then sent Croft into the corner and hit a running back flip kick. Kendrick set up for The Kendrick, but Croft pushed him into the corner. He rolled him up and put his feet on the ropes. He nearly got the three count but the referee saw his feet and forced him to break the pin. Croft now argued with the referee, which allowed Kendrick to school boy him cleanly for a second win in this Turmoil. Winners of Match #2: Brian Kendrick & Paul London [6:39]WWE & World Tag Team Title Unification Turmoil Match Brian Kendrick & Paul London [c] vs. The British Alliance [c] w/ Layla London & Katie Lea BurchillThe British Alliance obviously got booed, but the announcers point out that one of the current Tag Team Champions will be eliminated after this round. The Alliance showed no mercy as they entered and completely took it to the worn down WWE Tag Team Champions. This was a merciless beating throughout as the British Alliance used their superior power to overwhelm London and Kendrick. Of course, being the spirited fighters that they are, they made a comeback attempt. Both London and Kendrick reversed moves at the same time and London hit Burchill with a standing shooting star press. Kendrick failed to deliver The Kendrick again though as Regal pushed him off and to the outside. He then hit London with the Regal-Plex and allowed Burchill to cover for the three. Winners of Match #3: The British Alliance [3:41]WWE & World Tag Team Title Unification Turmoil Match The British Alliance [c] w/ Layla London & Katie Lea Burchill vs. The New Hart Foundation w/ Natalya NeidhartOnce the theme of the New Hart Foundation hit, the crowd erupted and they ran down to the ring. It was obvious that they meant business as they took it straight to the World Tag Team Champions. The usual brawl to open a new contest calmed down and we got your basic tag match. Smith did a lot of work here as he matched Burchill in the power department. Burchill eventually had him set for the Curb Stomp, but TJ Wilson spring boarded in with a spinning heel kick to stop it. Smith then picked Burchill up for a running power slam, but Layla grabbed his leg from the outside, which allowed Burchill to break free and nail him. Natalya rushed around the ring and Speared Layla down. She then began to trade shots with Katie Lea on the outside. Regal was tagged in and he tried to apply the Regal Stretch, but Smith quickly reached the ropes. Regal dragged him back to the middle, but he kicked him off and made the tag to Wilson. Wilson came in and hit Regal with a spinning heel kick, followed by a big roundhouse kick. He then lifted Regal onto his shoulders and hit the Rolling Stampede. He covered but Burchill broke it up. Smith entered and evened the odds with Burchill, eventually hitting him with a clothesline, taking him to the outside. Wilson drop kicked Regal, who fell towards Smith. The Foundation nailed the Springboard Hart Attack and picked up a very important win. Winners of Match #4: The New Hart Foundation [5:19]WWE & World Tag Team Title Unification Turmoil Match The New Hart Foundation w/ Natalya Neidhart vs. Perfectly Awesome w/ Alicia FoxPerfectly Awesome, the former World Tag Team Champions, were the final team in Tag Team Turmoil. The brash and cocky team had no time to go for a sneak attack as the Foundation was anxiously awaiting them. Ziggler and Wilson began and worked very well together. They showed off their mat wrestling skills and wowed the crowd. Ziggler managed to get in the driver’s seat when he hit a big German suplex. He and The Miz now cut the ring in half and prevented Wilson from tagging out to his stronger partner. Miz hit his trademark clothesline and the Reality Check for near falls, while Dolph got close calls after an elbow drop and when he locked in the sleeper hold. Wilson looked like he was fading, so the referee lifted him arm. It dropped twice, but he managed to keep it up on the third try. He rallied behind the crowd and broke free by hitting a jaw breaker. That freed him to tag in Smith, while Ziggler tagged out to Miz. Smith shoulder blocked both members of Perfectly Awesome. He then hit each of them with a gorilla press slam, before picking up Ziggler for a stalling vertical suplex. As he held Ziggler high up, Miz came from behind and leveled him in the back. He then sent Smith off the ropes and kicked him in the gut. He followed that with the Skull Crushing Finale, but he didn’t realize that Wilson blind tagged in. Miz covered but Wilson broke it up by grabbing his leg and locking in the Sharpshooter. Miz had nowhere to go as he was in the middle of the ring, Ziggler was still down from the gorilla press slam and the blood rushing to his head from the stalling suplex, and Alicia Fox was being held back by Natalya. Miz had no choice but to tap out. Winners of Match #5: The New Hart Foundation [7:16] Winners of Tag Team Turmoil and NEW Unified Tag Team Champions: The New Hart Foundation [27:16] ***¼The crowd popped loudly as the New Hart Foundation was announced as the first Unified Tag Team Champions.

Edge struck first, and then the bell rang. They traded right hands to open, but Christian blocked one of Edge’s and took the upper hand. He kept hitting Edge until he was backed into the corner.

Edge covered but could only get a near fall. Edge called for the end as he locked his brother in the Edgecator. Christian looked helpless as he was stuck in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go. He somehow mustered up the strength and powered his way to the ropes, breaking the hold. Edge was furious and he began to stalk Christian for the Spear again. He charged at him, but Christian kicked him in the shoulder. He then hooked Edge for the Unprettier once again, but Edge shoved him off and nailed him with a Spear as he came back off the ropes.

Rey and Batista received huge pops tonight and Rey was sporting attire inspired by the hit film Avatar. Jericho got the same major heat that he always gets. Due to his general nature and recent actions, Jericho had a target on his back against the two best friends. They started this contest off by attacking him. They basically played a game of “anything you can do, I can do better” with Jericho. Rey hit a dropkick and Batista hit a big clothesline. Rey would snap off a hurricanrana and Batista would hit a fall away slam. Jericho rolled out of the ring after that, which left Batista and Rey to face off, but they didn’t mind. The two friends quickly went after each other, with Rey trying to use his speed for the upper hand and Batista attempting to overpower him. After some solid back and forth work between them, Rey shot off the ropes but was caught in a huge power slam. Batista covered but Jericho was back in the ring and he broke up the count.

Punk was sporting some Cobra [from GI Joe] themed trunks. Shawn Michaels received the biggest pop of the night as he made his long awaited return to a WWE ring. The bell rang and Punk started to walk towards Michaels and he was mouthing off already. Michaels charged at him and tackled him to the ground, following up with right hands. The crowd was fired up at Michaels’ aggression to open this match. He got off of Punk and placed him in the corner. Michaels fired away with multiple chops in succession, followed by sending him off the ropes and hitting a back body drop. Punk tried to get up quickly, but walked right into an inverted atomic drop from Michaels, followed by a big chop. Punk rolled to the outside to regroup with Gallows and Matthews. As they were talking, Michaels delivered a baseball slide, but Punk moved out of the way and Matthews caught the brunt of it. Punk took advantage of that and really took it to Michaels.

He then went to send Orton into the corner, but Orton reversed the Irish whip and Jeff hopped up to the top rope and hit Whisper in the Winds for a count of two. Jeff picked up Orton and nailed the Twist of Fate but Orton kicked out of the cover. Jeff climbed to the top and called for the Swanton Bomb, but Orton got his knees up. Both men were down and the referee’s count got to six before Orton was up. Jeff slowly followed and Orton went for the RKO, but Jeff shoved him off and he hit the turnbuckle face first. He turned to walk back to Jeff but was met with a dropkick. Orton fell down into the corner and Jeff hit the Hardyac Arrest. He then dragged Orton into position and climbed up for the Swanton Bomb again. This time, he nailed it perfectly and covered for the three! Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion: Jeff Hardy [16:37] ***½The crowd went ballistic as Jeff Hardy was announced the new World Heavyweight Champion. He was handed the gold by the referee and he raised it high in the air. He climbed the turnbuckle and celebrated with the WWE Universe. Orton rolled out of the ring, still dazed, but looking furious.
We are now taken to a video package, showing the highlights of the careers of The Undertaker and John Cena. It then shows Cena eliminate Undertaker from the Royal Rumble, Undertaker cost Cena the Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out and the build up to this epic encounter.John Cena vs. The Undertaker“Basic Thuganomics” played over the loudspeaker as John Cena made his way to the ring sporting an Arizona Cardinals jersey. For tonight at least, the Cena of old was back in style. He obviously received a loud ovation. The Undertaker followed, with his “Ministry of Darkness” theme and attire. ‘Taker got even louder cheers as both superstars paid homage to their old gimmicks. The bell rang and ‘Taker was the aggressor from the get go as he backed Cena into a corner and delivered lefts and rights to his rib cage. Cena did his best to block them, but ‘Taker downed him in the corner. He picked him up and surprisingly went for Old School this early. Cena reversed it though by pulling ‘Taker down to the mat. Cena lifted ‘Taker and sent him off the ropes, nailing him with a big shoulder block. Cena then mounted ‘Taker and hit him with some right hands. He got off and attempted to lock on the STFU early, but ‘Taker kicked him away. Cena charged back at ‘Taker, but was hit with a big boot. ‘Taker picked Cena up and hit a sidewalk slam for a near fall. He then sent Cena into the corner and ran in with a clothesline, which he quickly turned into a surprise armbar. Cena struggled, but managed to reach the bottom rope. ‘Taker broke the hold and Cena rolled to the outside. His arm really seemed to be bothering him but when he turned to get back into the ring, ‘Taker flew over the top rope and hit him with his awesome suicide dive. Both men were down for a while, but managed to get inside before the count of ten. ‘Taker ran at Cena and hit him with a running DDT. He then dragged him until his head was resting on the apron and ‘Taker went for a guillotine leg drop, but Cena moved and ‘Taker crashed hard. He was hurt on the outside but when he got back in, Cena was on the attack. He sent ‘Taker off the ropes and connected with a sit out hip toss, then a one handed bulldog and finished off the rally with a fisherman suplex. He only got a near fall for this, so he climbed to the top rope. ‘Taker was halfway up and Cena leapt off, hitting a leg drop bulldog for another count of two. Cena now called for the Five Knuckle Shuffle, but right before he could hit it, ‘Taker sat up and grabbed him by the throat. He got to his feet and drilled Cena with a Choke Slam for a near fall. ‘Taker did the throat cut signal and set Cena up for the Last Ride, which he connected with. He covered and Cena just barely got his shoulder up at the last second. ‘Taker was in shock but he got up and set up for the Tombstone. Cena wriggled free and got behind ‘Taker. He turned him around and connected with the FU! He covered but ‘Taker just barely got his shoulder up. Cena picked him up and went for it again, but this time ‘Taker got free by elbowing him in the head. He then hit the Tombstone and covered, but Cena placed his foot on the bottom rope as the last possible millisecond. ‘Taker and the crowd were in utter shock. ‘Taker now surprisingly climbed to the top. He went for a big flying clothesline, but Cena moved out of the way. Cena went over to the fallen Undertaker and grabbed his leg for the STFU. ‘Taker surprised everyone though, when he grabbed hold of Cena and locked in the Hell’s Gates submission. Cena tried with all his might to break the hold. He showed off some amazing strength by lifting ‘Taker up into a power bomb position, but he couldn’t get him high enough, so when he slammed him down, ‘Taker still had the move latched on. Slowly but surely, Cena faded and when he passed out, it was all over. Winner: The Undertaker [22:29] ****¼The crowd applauded the great efforts by these two uber stars. The Undertaker looked more worn out than he ever has been after a WrestleMania match. He stayed down on the mat for a short while and Cena began to stir. Undertaker helped him up and the two stars shook hands in a show of respect. Cena then left up the ramp as ‘Taker did his trademark pose in the ring and Jim Ross signs off for the final time.© WWE 2010

-Oh man, I'm pumped for this. Kofi Kingston winning MITB was great to rise him up as star. -Swagger winning was good and nice for my prediction. He said he was the epitomy of ECW and a good way to prove. -Maryse and Mancini winning was good either way but I like the call better. -Benjamin winning the Extreme Rules Match was great either way. As much as I would've liked MVP to win, they both were coming off World Title losses so they both needed it. -Hart Foundation winning the Turmoil was expected. Should be nice to see their reign. -Edge retaining came to me as a heartbreaker, shocker, great match, alot of things. Christian looks to be like Jeff Hardy from 2008 on a long road to become champion. -Jericho winning the Brand Supremacy was great! I predicted that and I really like it. Wonder where this leads Batista and Rey. -HBK over Punk was an amazing match! HBK winning was good to make him not look like a punk and all. (No pun intended). -Hardy winning the WHC is epic! I'm so happy to see Hardy win the WHC after having a great 2009, hope he gets a solid reign. -Undertaker winning was expected. Great main event and Cena's WM Record is falling apart. But still, great to see my fave wrestler headline the show. -Great PPV; I loved just about every second of it. Outstanding WM, Kev. Keep it up.

So excited that you finally made it to your second WrestleMania but as promised, I'll do the WM week before I get to the show.
RAW: The Undertaker opening the show is just fantastic. Cena coming out straight off is cool but would've liked Taker to say something first. Wow, FU to Undertaker? Great way to finish off the segment. Can't wait for The Draft, it's gonna be awesome. DiBiase winning the four way is good for him. Demolition in the Hall of Fame is nice, a very talented HOF this year. Random match but it made sense for Mickie to pick up the win. Nice run in by Serena. Shelton's hosting the VIP Lounge? Cool, MVP wont like that. Shame that Bourne isn't on the Mania card to be honest but MVP winning was right. I don't think I replied to last week show but Rhyno's shock return for one night was awesome. Nice idea for the tag team match, The Heel's winning is good. Legacy looking strong is great, they are definitely candidates. Batista over Jericho is cool, I don't know whose gonna win at Mania. I liked Christian changing the Cutting Edge to the Peep Show. Good ending segment but not alo of talking, glad Christian came out standing tall.
ECW: Good way to open the show with Carlito's cabana. Nice and long. The brawl leading to a five on five tag match which will be great is awesome. Jackson over Dreamer is cool. I think Ryder will get drafted, Perfectly Awesome winning is Perfectly Awesome. I like heel Yang. Batista vs. Mysterio is maybe too big for ECW but who cares, good match, I expect Jericho to beat Mysterio on Friday. Good closing segment, glad Danielson didn'y tap out. Good ECW.
SmackDown: Wow, ama\zing way to open SmackDown, I love all the pretty colors. The heels winning is fine but I think a face will win at WM. Excellent promo from Benjamin a good read. MVP teasing an attack is nice. Serena entering the society sounds good, I liked the confrontation. A HUGE win for the Dudbusters against the champs. Undertaker vs. CM Punk!? It's early in the show too. 'Taker getting the DQ win was the right finish. Happy that Michaels hit Matthews with a Sweet chin, another teaser for WrestleMania. Rated RKO as World Champions is pretty cool. Jericho over Mysterio, told you so, it made sense for eah man to get a win in the build up to WrestleMania, and on their own shows too for that matter. Serena over Lee is good build up. Great main event, shocked to see Rated RKO win actually but I like it especially with the double team at the end.
WRRSTLEMANIA26: Oh Em Gee, it's finally here. I love this diary. Jackson winning a pre-show battle royal is good. The card is stacked for this show. Nice graphic from AJ. <3 MITB. Starship Pain onto the ladder is good. Dream Street off the ladder is another good spot. Good finish in the end, Kofi winning is awesome. Kingston as a world champion would be just sick. Kinda surprised that Swagger retained but Danielson getting on the card just show's how well you've pushed him, I'm expecting him to move on RAW. Swagger should drop the title soon to someone who needs it more. Swagger retaining makes me wonder the outcomes of the other title matches as I'm expecting a couple to change hands. Glad the Champions retained since Serena hasn't be champion for that long. April Lee getting left alone could result in a heel turn of some sort, which I'd love. The OF's this year are all deserving. Mr. McMahon!? Awesome. Nice to here that McMahon will be a part of the draft, I wonder what will come of it. Benjamin going over in the Extreme Rules match was needed after his title losss at No Way Out, I liked the Paydirt onto the steps too. 'Taker is for sure winning tonight. Londrick vs. Legacy is a big start to the turmoil. Wow, shocked Londrick picked up the first win. I was expecting Legacy to win the whole thing. Glad Londrick went over in that one against the Dudebusters, no shock. Londrick are on a roll. The British Alliance winning is cool against a tired Londrick, it makes sense. Awesome! The New Hart Foundation with the victory meas that we wil have new champions. Shocked to see The New Hart Foundation ultimatley reclaim the Tag Titles although it was a good choice. Nice graphic for Edge vs. Christian by the way. Edge retaining was probably for the best and makes me think that Hardy will win in the main event, he should. However I'm not sure on the roll-up victory at WrestleMania. Mysterio looks terifying in the graphic. Great to see Jericho win, any of them could've but maybe Batista or Mysterio winning would'nt have been as good. Backlash should see Christian taking the WwE Championship. Shawn Michaels losing will be a travesty. I loved the ending with Punk attempting Sweet Chin Music ponly too be met with Sweet Chin Music. HBK winning was best as it was for oine night (I think) and it would've been bad for him to lose. Been waiting for this, Hardy vs. Orton. Jeff should really win as he was rumble winner. Swanton Bomb! Jeff as World Heavyweigth Champion is perfect and the Rumble winner curse is broken. The Underaker/Cena graphic is pretty sick with the purple. Really cool way for Undertaker to win and it makes Cena look strong in the main event. Brilliant to end the show with a handshake between the former rivals and it's sad to hear that Jim Ross is officially done. Amazing show, extremely realistic and unpredictable. Can't wait to read the fallout.

WWE WrestleMania XXVI: Sunday 28th March 2010...Alright, missed the last two weeks of programming, but hoorah, the big one! I can tell this show will be much better than last year's which was extremely overbooked with big matches and clustered with gimmick bouts. You're much a wiser booker now, should be good. Ezekiel Jackson winning the Pre-WrestleMania battle royal is something I'm very happy about; Zeke should have a good push in the future, very good performer worth perhaps of a big title reign. Kofi Kingston winning Money in the Bank is nice, but I am sort of wishing that a heel had won the briefcase; Shelton Benjamin won it as a babyface last year I think? I'm not too sure. Sheamus and maybe Ted Dibiase were also worthy of the win, as well as John Morrison, but really this was a pure filler Money in the Bank match, Kaval, Carlito, Mr Kennedy [he just wouldn't fit the mold in my mind], Elijah Burke and Tyler Black aren't that ready in my mind. Some, like Carlito and Burke may never will. Up next, another good match but best for Jack Swagger to retain the ECW Championship against Bryan Danielson; maybe in a few months Danielson could have ECW Championship potential. Next, a decent filler to calm the audience down with Maryse and Serena Mancini retaining their WWE Divas and Womens Championship belts against Mickie James and Gail Kim. Quite enjoyable. Next up, great battle between 2009's most improved and pushed superstars in Extreme Rules: MVP and Shelton Benjamin. Not that sure on them deserving Extreme Rules as a stipulation [considering Extreme Rules is/may next month, could be worth a sequel match there]. Shelton winning was perhaps for the best, quite nice. I've never really spoken of it before this, but The Brian Kendrick and Paul London in London and Kendrick attire...odd I think. London and Kendrick beating Legacy doesn't surprise me, just wish that Joe Hennig and Cody Rhodes had progressed somewhere. Suprised that The Dudebusters got more length than much more established Legacy against London and Kendrick; would have chosen this as the opener to this Turmoil though. Surprised about the British Alliance beating Paul London and Brian Kendrick next, think that it should have been a cheap finish to get London and Kendrick out though. The New Hart Foundation then taking Paul Burchill and William Regal out is good. A potential feud here. Wow, New Hart Foundation [wish that they would establish from the dreaded 'New Hart Foundation' name] winning the WWE Unified Tag Team Championships was shocking, especially beating Dolph Ziggler and The Miz. Great series, but maybe gone too long. Edge retaining the WWE Championship was for the best. Maybe next month if they get a sequel match in that'd be great for Christian to win, but here he would be overshadowed. Chris Jericho beating Rey Mysterio and Batista sounds about right; good calm down match before the other uppercard match. I hope Jericho has a WrestleMania main event moment next year. Ah, Backlash retaining is alright I suppose. Amazing win for Shawn Michaels against CM Punk, a great way to let Shawn leave. And involved Punk in a WrestleMania moment. Solid World Heavyweight Championship win for Jeff Hardy against Randy Orton but they were easily overshadowed by the great main event. Great main event win for The Undertaker as expected against John Cena, the build was great, but didn't convince me Cena MIGHT win. But nonetheless, a great finale. A fantastic show, much enjoyed and superior to WrestleMania XXV. Where storylines go from here should be a treat to discover.

First off congrats on getting to Mania, this is such a great diary and is worthy of its HOF spot, sorry about not replying as often as I'd like, onto Mania, lol at all the graphic guys, nice touch with the dark match although I would have prefered to see Bourne win over Zeke, lol Rhinana like she would actually do this, oh no JR but I understand why you are doing it hopefully you do something on Raw for him, awesome way to kick off with the MITB I think you did a good job of including everyone in the write up, some sick spots in there as well like the Warrirors way and such can't help thinking that Bourne should have been in the match, Kofi winning is good although I hope he doesn't win the title, Cena/Shawn was a good backstage moment I'm hoping Punk wins that way he gets put over huge and it should steal the show, Swagger over AmDrag is a shocker but a shocker I like cause you didn't just super push Dragon to a title, scratch what I said before about Punk/HBK cause Edge/Christian is also a massive match, yeah just one divas match, great picks to go into the HOF, nice Vince segment now you've made me want to read the draft show you got me hooked, MVP/Shelton makes perfect sense in this diary as you've built both up well however to me the match write up was a little disapointing, what was missing is a big hardcore spot which usually deliviers at Mania like the flaming table with Edge/Foley or the Hardys match or Shawn's ladder dive onto Vince because it just seemed like a match that could have been on television otherwise, nice Cena promo written exactly like he is when he's serious, really happy that Londrick won two matches in a row would have liked them to win but it could never happen, really happy to see the Harts win the match I'd mark for a match against Londrick, great Edge/Christian match with lots of back and forth action although I can't see Christian using the Spear, I'm happy that Edge pulled out a shocker and won winning at Mania is a bit too early for Christian yet I see him winning it on one of the PPV's following Mania, would have prefered if the brand warefare match and Edge/Christian swapped, i can see why you didn't want two title matches after each other but you had HBK/Punk to break it up, happy to see Y2J win maybe this means a future title shot?, hopefully by the next PPV video focusing on Punk we see Punk on the poster looking foward to it, would have made pefect sense for Punk to cut a promo before the match but I can see why you didn't, nice write up between Punk and HBK, the SCM to both Drew and Joey was cool, would have liked Punk to win though as I said earlier maybe a rematch at the next PPV with Punk getting the win?, Orton/Hardy is a great match maybe could have swapped with Edge/Christian? glad Hardy won gives a big title swap at mania which is needed, I love the different graphic for the main event, I'm unsure about both men going back to old gimmicks/attires/music, I love the agression and the speed at the start of the maine event amazing write up, is Takers dive a suicide dive? thats a dive through the midde rope right? Five Knuckle Shuffle into the choke is great, loving that Cena kicked out of both the Chokeslam and the Last Ride, amazing ending with both men's finishers not enough then not only locking in the hells gate but hitting the powerbomb counter but Taker not letting go, would have been an amazing ending to Wrestlemania. Great job Kevin I know you'll keep this up.

- WrestleMania XXVI, best pay-per-view by far in my book, I loved every second of it, every match was a genuine classic in my opinion
- Kofi winning Money In The Bank, I loved that move not only is Kofi Ghanaian so am I, so I am so very proud of Kofi winning the Money In The Bank Ladder Match meaning Kofi can cash in his briefcase anytime anywhere to become WWE Champion, World Heavyweight Champion, or even ECW Champion, kind of was expecting Sheamus to win MITB since Sheamus is a main eventer and is the WWE Champion in real-life, a 2-time champion at that, but hey Kofi winning I am cool with that too. Kofi I think he will get drafted over to RAW, my honest prediction.
- Swagger vs Danielson also an instant classic betweeen 2 submission-style wrestlers to determine who was the best in the world, I loved the match, honestly thought that Danielson was going to win the ECW Championship, but wasn't meant to be. Hopefully Danielson wins the ECW Championship at the next PPV Backlash but I think Danielson will get drafted over either to RAW or Smackdown.
- Maryse & Serena retaining their Divas and WWE Women's Championship respectively, I was expecting that to happen, but still a very good match in my opinion. AJ Lee heel turn now is what I am predicting especially since she was stating she was trying to win the match for her team, and Gail & Mickie didn't want to hear it, means AJ will turn on Gail soon.
- The New Hart Foundation winning the WWE Unified Tag Team Titles in Tag-Team Turmoil, loved the match overall, especially with the set of 5 matches to determine it all, awesome, meaning if the New Hart Foundation does get drafted over to RAW or ECW, it won't really matter because they can still be on Smackdown because if they have those titles, they can go on any show they choose.
- Shelton Benjamin beating MVP in Extreme Rules, such a hardcore match in my opinion, Shelton now that he has beaten MVP, Shelton can finally regain that World Heavyweight Championship that he lost back at Elimination Chamber, but I have a feeling that Shelton Benjamin will get drafted over to RAW to continue his feud with MVP, or that MVP will get drafted over to Smackdown to continue this feud with Shelton Benjamin.
- Edge retaining the WWE Championship against Christian, now that was even surprising to me, I honestly thought that Christian was going to win the WWE Title off of his brother Edge, but Edge retaining wow I can't believe it but I am shocked. Christian if anything I see him winning the title sometime in 2010, starting a long road to that WWE Title, but Christian I think he will get drafted over to Smackdown and Edge getting drafted over to RAW but Kofi cashing in on Edge, and Kofi staying on Smackdown with the WWE Title having Edge lose the WWE Title the very next night at the Draft, and Edge now going for the World Title. My honest predictions of what I see happening at the WWE Draft tomorrow night.
- Brand Warfare, Jericho winning another shocker to me in my opinion, as I wasn't expecting Jericho to beat Batista and Rey, but now that Jericho has, I see this as being the reason why Batista eventually turns heel on Rey because Rey cost him the chance to win Brand Warfare by hitting him with that 619, and Jericho hitting that Codebreaker on Batista to win the match. One of these men Jericho, Batista, or Rey in my opinion will get drafted tomorrow night.
- HBK/Punk also another match of the year candidate as I really loved this match as it stood out to me as it was so personal for both men, and HBK beating Punk was so needed as HBK that in my opinion was his good-bye match to the fans so he needed to go out in style, and he did by beating Punk.
- Cena/Taker now this match is another one that stood out to me probably more than any other match at WrestleMania 26, with both men paying homage to their old gimmicks with Cena Basic Thuganomics, and Undertaker Ministry of Darkness. But still the match was awesome with near fall after near fall, probably this match was better than Taker/HBK as this is the biggest match in Mania history in my opinion Superman vs The Streak, and Cena was as close as any other man to ending the streak. Taker at the end of the match being so worn out because Cena took him to the limit probably more than any other man that Taker has faced at Mania, overall this is Match Of The Year if you ask me.
- Something tells me that Cena or Taker will get drafted tomorrow night in what will be the shocker of Draft Night tomorrow, as no one will see it coming, setting up a Cena/Taker feud whether it be on RAW or on Smackdown I see it happening one way or another.
Overall great show, Kevin, really my honest opinion, 5 stars, YOU'RE AN ACE IN MY BOOK!!!!!!!!
Good luck on RAW DRAFT NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOPEFULLY BIG MOVES TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!!!

- Also Orton vs Jeff Hardy, forgot to include this in my post, but Orton losing the World Title to Jeff is only a minor setback, The Age of Orton will happen once again even if they don't end up in the same ring and if Jeff does get drafted tomorrow night to RAW, then you almost know that Orton my man will get drafted right along with him
