I definitely loved RAW and I for one cannot wait until Smackdown but definitely can't wait until The Bash, that's for sure

Good promo from Chris Jericho to kick off the show, addressing his rematch against Edge at the Bash. Del Rio/Edge and Cena/Swagger sound like solid matches booked. Expected victory for Elijah Burke to gain contention to Dolph Ziggler's Intercontinental Championship. Carlito is probably on his way out of the company soon. Good victory for Team Laycool. I miss them. Million Dollar Man on RAW next week. Eating a Brogue Kick, I would assume. Liked the brawl with DiBiase and Sheamus. Looking forward to their match at the Bash. Fantastic first hour main event with John Cena getting the win over United States Champion Jack Swagger. Swagger getting a strong showing is awesome. Too soon for the Airbourne Angels to capture the WWE World Tag Team Championships. Hoping they do soon, though. Good victory for the Dudebusters. Decent win for Ted DiBiase Jr. over Matt Hardy. Much like Carlito, Matt is someone who I expect to be on their way out. Surprised there was no involvement from Sheamus. Lastly, great main event with Edge defeating Alberto Del Rio. The aftermath further established the dominance of Best in the World, which I love. A good edition of RAW overall.

Good opening promo from Chris Jericho and Best in the World. It really builds up Jericho's match with Edge at the Bash. But before that, we're getting two matches featuring elite Best in the World members in United States Champion Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio against John Cena and Edge respectively. Great match with Elijah Burke and Carlito. So now, Burke will get another chance against Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler. I'm not sure where Carlito goes from here though. Looks like Cena and Edge are ready for battle tonight. Nice tag team match featuring LayCool and Mickie James/Tiffany. The LayCool victory and post-match attack from them really adds fuel to the fire in the Michelle McCool/Mickie James feud, especially the comment about how the attack made James uglier. Loved the promo from Ted DiBiase to build up his confrontation with Sheamus. This feud can really help build both men up. Great match with Cena and Swagger. Especially loved how Tyler Black got involved. It seems that things aren't finished between him and Swagger. The WWE World Tag Team Champions, the Dudebusters continue their reign with a victory over the Airbourne Angels. It would've been too soon for the Angels to win the straps. But I'd like to see them get another chance. Like I said in a previous post, an Angels/Dudebusters/Londrick match would be epic. But it's your diary. Exciting announcement for next week's RAW with Best in the World taking on the team of Cena, Edge and Kofi Kingston. Not surprised to see DiBiase victorious over Matt Hardy as it certainly helps build momentum for him come the Bash. As for Hardy, it seems that the Black Cloud hasn't done much of anything lately. Great main event with Edge defeating Del Rio, but the Best in the World get the last laugh by beating down Cena, Edge and Kingston. Excellent RAW!

July 6th, 2010 | Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia
- Joey Styles and Byron Saxton welcome us to tonight's episode of ECW, live from Atlanta! They remind us of tonight's absolutely huge main event for the ECW Championship as Ezekiel Jackson defends against “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson! Also, Joe Hennig will be defending his Television Title against Alex Riley! They lastly inform us that we will hear from Wade Barrett after he defeated John Cena in last week's main event in one of the biggest upsets in recent memory.
Singles Match Drew McIntyre w/ Gail Kim vs. John Morrison
- Two of ECW's top stars opened tonight's broadcast with a bang as they put on a great match. Each man hit their signature moves and got multiple near falls. The crowd was eating into this as they wanted to see Morrison pick up a big win and put down a member of “The Best in the World”. He seemed poised for victory when he went for Starship Pain, but McIntyre moved out of the way and Morrison crashed. McIntyre quickly connected with the Scot Drop and got the 1-2-3.
Winner: Drew McIntyre [11:01] ***½
- After the match, McIntyre's celebration was cut short by the theme of Bryan Danielson. He comes out to the stage and congratulates McIntyre. He then gets to the real reason why he came out. Tonight, he goes for the ECW Title for just the second time in his career. Win or lose, he wants McIntyre and Teddy Long has made that happen. At The Bash, it will be Danielson vs. McIntyre in an Extreme Rules match and if Danielson is ECW Champion, the belt will be on the line! Tonight's main event will also be contested under Extreme Rules! The crowd goes insane at the announcements.
Commercial Break
- Wade Barrett's theme cues as he makes his way to the ring, sporting a huge grin. He gets in the ring and begins to talk about how he is untouchable. He says that he nailed the General Manager of ECW with a Wasteland and got away with it. He then says that he would've been suspended if John Cena would've done what he was supposed to and defeat him last week. Unfortunately for Teddy, Barrett did what he does best and that's get the victory. He stayed active on ECW and proved that nothing at all can stop him. Not anyone on the ECW roster, not anyone on any other roster and not even a General Manager. The “Barrett Barrage” is in full effect on ECW and will not stop until he at the top of the food chain. Barrett shows the video one last time of him beating Cena and he ends the promo by telling the WWE Universe to get used to that sight.
Commercial Break
Singles Match Chris Masters vs. Zack Ryder w/ Courtney
- Within just a week, Ryder seemed to have the crowd on his side. Masters has shown improvement since coming to ECW which helped make this a very good match. The match was a battle of strength against speed and Ryder seemed to enjoy working as a face. Masters used a big backbreaker to set up for the Masterlock. Before he could lock it on though, Ryder wriggled free and rolled up Masters for the victory.
Winner: Zack Ryder [3:52] **
- Ryder celebrated with Courtney and the crowd until he got to the top of the ramp. Once there he was met by his new found friend Primo. They high fived, fist pumped and celebrated.
- Ezekiel Jackson is now shown preparing for his Title defense tonight as Drew McIntyre amps him up. Drew tells him that when they're out there tonight, Danielson won't stand a chance. Jackson gives an animal like growl as he warms up.
Commercial Break
- Teddy Long is now shown in his office and he looks upset. Kaval enters and says that he wants his hands on Paul Burchill still. Long tells him he can have Burchill next week and then asks Kaval if he has any ideas about what to do with Wade Barrett. Kaval says that's not his issue but tells Long that as a General Manager he needs to come up with these things on his own. Long again looks depressed as Kaval leaves.
Television Championship Joe Hennig [c] vs. Alex Riley
- Joe Hennig has had a very good reign as Champion and has put on some very solid matches throughout his tenure and tonight was no different. Riley is pretty hated by the WWE Universe and that helped the match out a lot. They went back and forth throughout and in the end, a well timed Hennig-Plex allowed Hennig to retain his gold.
Winner and Still Television Champion: Joe Hennig [7:10] **¾
[/color] [/li][li] Josh Matthews is standing by with Bryan Danielson and he asks him how he feels going into the main event. Danielson responds by saying that everything he has worked for in his long career leads up to tonight. He admits to being a fan of ECW in its heyday and that he's always wanted to win the ECW Title. Tonight he will realize one of his dreams.[/li][li] We cut to a graphic showing a “Tale of the Tape” for tonight's ECW Title match. It shows how Danielson has the experience factor, but Jackson has the obvious size advantage.Commercial BreakECW Championship Extreme Rules Match Ezekiel Jackson [c] w/ Drew McIntyre vs. Bryan Danielson[/color] [/li][li]If you thought the crowd was invested in Morrison beating McIntyre earlier, it was nothing compared to this. They were 100% behind Danielson. The contest started with Danielson focusing on Jackson's legs. His goal was clearly to chop the big man down to size. This worked early on, but Jackson turned the tide with a huge powerslam. He then took control and wore down Danielson, even locking in a bearhug. Danielson managed to get out of it with some well timed elbows. Shortly after, Danielson climbed to the top and nailed a diving headbutt. Jackson attempted to roll out of the ring, but Danielson stopped him and covered. Before he could get the three, McIntyre placed Jackson's foot on the bottom rope. The crowd booed heavily until John Cena's theme hit! The crowd went ballistic as he rushed down to the ring and began to rumble with McIntyre until he bested him. Jackson is up now and knocked Danielson to the mat. He calls Cena into the ring. Cena obliges and we have a preview for The Bash! They trade shots until McIntyre enters the ring with a steel chair. Danielson is up and dropkicks the chair into McIntyre's face! He then turns Jackson around and nails him with it in the face. Two more shots followed by Danielson locking in the Cattle Mutilation have Jackson out cold and the referee calls for the bell! Winner and NEW ECW Champion: Bryan Danielson [14:55] ***¾[/li][li] The crowd goes crazy as Bryan Danielson is on his knees in the middle of the ring with his arms raised high. He is handed the ECW Title by John Cena and he jumps to his feet and celebrates with the WWE Universe. Cena tips his cap to Danielson and leaves him to live in his moment. The first big blow to the “Best in the World” is delivered as Danielson has done the impossible![/li][/ul] © WWE 2010[/font][/center]

- Danielson is the new ECW Champion, this is great, it seems one belt is gone from The Best In The World with Danielson beating a Best In The World member Ezekiel Jackson for his belt, Ezekiel is no longer a champion and I wonder what that means for Big Zeke now especially now that he is no longer a champion in his stable, don't be surprised if The Best In The World stable turn on Big Zeke and leave him laying
- Now Danielson is going to defend his newly-won ECW Championship against another Best In The World member, this time against Drew McIntyre, I really hope Danielson retains at the Bash and he ends up having a lengthy reign with the ECW Championship
- Zack Ryder's face turn seems to be working especially now that the crowd seems to be into him and his face turn has proven to be a success by him beating Masters in what I thought was actually a great match
- Joe Hennig retains again by retaining his ECW Television Championship against Alex Riley, I really hope Joe is in line for a push soon, a push that will soon see him leave ECW to go to either RAW or Smackdown because he deserves the best, he is a third generation superstar, the son of WWE Hall of Famer the late Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig and the grandson of AWA/NWA legend Larry the Ax Hennig, so to see him become a star in his own right would be just as great if not more
Barrett's push begins and I for one am so happy that it is beginning here on ECW but honestly Barrett needs to be on RAW or Smackdown at this point because ECW to tell you the truth is beneath him, it is a brand that is beneath a superstar of his calibre because he is a future WWE Champion or a future World Heavyweight Champion, the first-ever English born World Heavyweight Champion or the first-ever English born WWE Champion has a nice ring to it because if he can beat Cena, then the sky's the limit for him
- Cena being the one to cost Zeke his ECW Championship, I love it, because it adds to Zeke and Cena's rivalry especially when it comes to their match at The Bash and Cena handing Danielson the ECW Championship was like one of those great moments you can replay over and over again, great display there but as for a dream match-up between Cena and Danielson, it could happen

Pretty good episode of ECW with a big moment in Danielson winning his first belt in the WWE. The match was fine and I have no problem with the title change since Ezekiel's pay-per-view match with Cena wasn't for the belt anyway. Can't help but wonder how Jericho will feel about one of his stablemates losing a title. Now I'm interested to see what Danielson will do as the new ECW kingpin. The rest of the show was fine. Hopefully Zack gets the face push he shuld have gotten in the real world. Overall a good job here.

It's now time for ECW! Before I go into my review, I have to say that ECW is my favorite show in this diary.
We get right into the action this week with two young studs in Drew McIntyre and John Morrison. Could've gone either way but McIntyre winning was fine, especially with the post-match announcement from Bryan Danielson that it will be him and McIntyre at the Bash for the ECW Championship if he wins it. This feud between the American Dragon and the Sinister Scotsman is great and an Extreme Rules Match at the Bash would be excellent. Great promo by Wade Barrett. It certainly seems he's untouchable right now after his dealings with General Manager Teddy Long and John Cena. I've said it before and I'll say it again. ECW is the perfect place for Barrett right now as he can be built up as the brand's top heel. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes ECW Champion by the end of the year. Fresh off his recent face turn, Zack Ryder picks up a victory over "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters. It's great to see you build up Ryder and it seems that we might get a new tag team with him and Primo. Loved the interaction between Kaval and Long. The World Warrior certainly came across as an anti-hero who could care less about Long's problems with Barrett. Much like Ryder, I enjoy seeing Joe Hennig get built up, especially after successfully defending his Television Championship against a young stud in Alex Riley. If all goes well, great things are in store for both Ryder and Hennig. Finally, the main event between Jackson and Danielson. Figured McIntyre would interfere on the behalf of his Best in the World teammate. But John Cena shows up to even the odds and gives us a preview of his showdown with Jackson at the Bash. It helps Danielson to take out McIntyre before he finally finished Jackson off to become the new ECW Champion! Here's to the American Dragon having a nice, long reign as champion. It certainly strikes a blow to Best in the World. I wouldn't be surprised if Best in the World turns on Jackson and kicks him out. But judging from the roster on page 1, it seems you have enough faces for ECW. But I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. Anyway, awesome show!
BTW, love the new graphic!

Ohai sexy graphic. Fantastic opening contest with Drew McIntyre defeating John Morrison. Liked Danielson's post-match announcement for the match with McIntyre at the Bash, though it may have made it obvious that he'll be winning the ECW Championship tonight. Don't think a non title mid card ECW match would make the PPV, even with the Extreme Rules stipulation. Dat Barrage! Great promo from Wade. I honestly believe he'll be the face of ECW by the end of 2010. Nice victory for Zack Ryder, who appears to be a face now. Teaming with Primo is a bit odd, though I'll take it to help beef the division. Teddy asking Kaval for advice makes him seem pretty incompetent of doing his job. Great Television Championship defense for Joe Hennig. I love Joe and hope to continue to see him make a name for himself on ECW. As I kind of expected, John Cena aids Bryan Danielson in becoming the new ECW Champion. Despite the predictability, I loved it. Further builds the Cena/Jackson match for the Bash, and Danielson is now on top of the brand as the new champion. Overall, a good edition of ECW.

July 9th, 2010 | Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia
- Todd Grisham and Matt Striker introduce us to tonight's edition of Friday night Smackdown. They promise a great show and hype up our double main event which consists of a non-title match between WWE Champion CM Punk and Shelton Benjamin and a huge tag team match pitting Randy Orton and The Miz against Jeff Hardy and Christian!
- Surprisingly, the theme of Cody Rhodes hits to open Smackdown this week. He gets in the ring and grabs a microphone. He says that he does not lie when he calls himself the “Prince of Pro Wrestling”, yet he is laughed at because he cannot beat his brother. He says that a true prince is supposed to take over for their father and be even greater than him. He knows that he is better than his father and definitely better than his brother, yet Goldust keeps getting lucky. He guarantees that Goldust's luck will run out and it will happen next week. He lays down the gauntlet and says that he's been granted one more match with brother next week.
Singles Match Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio
- Cody Rhodes continues to be one of the WWE's biggest breakout stars in 2010. He continues to impress in the ring to go along with his excellent mic work. Cody and Rey showed great chemistry that should hopefully lead to a fun rivalry sometime in the future. Rey used his high flying to his advantage, only to have Rhodes counter with some ground work. In the end, Rhodes made a mistake by taking the sky as he missed his trademark Beautiful Disaster. This allowed Rey to connect with a drop toe hold, followed by a 619 to gain momentum heading into the Six Pack Challenge.
Winner: Rey Mysterio [10:26] ***½
Commercial Break
- We return to see Josh Matthews standing by with Tyler Black. They ask him about his match tonight with William Regal. Black says that last week, Regal cost him his match with Jack Swagger and if he beat Swagger, it would've put him on the road towards a United States Title shot. He wants his belt back more than anything and will be more than happy to take out Regal on the road back to the title.
Commercial Break
Non-Title Tag Team Match WWE World Tag Team Champions The Dudebusters w/ Trent Barreta vs. Brian Kendrick & Paul London
- Since they reunited last year, London and Kendrick have been a successful and welcome addition to the tag team scene in the WWE. Tonight, they had a chance to get right back into contention if they would defeat the reigning Champions. Unfortunately, having help on the outside once again allowed the Tag Team Champions to retain as Barreta tripped up Kendrick. That allowed Hawkins to hit an elbow off the top, which lead to Croft getting the pin.
Winners: WWE World Tag Team Champions The Dudebusters [7:00] **¾
- The cameras cut to show Jeff Hardy preparing for his big tag team match tonight. A knock is heard and in steps his partner for tonight, Christian. They shake hands and reminisce about the days when they wouldn't be caught dead teaming together and would only be opponents. They then get more serious and say that it's go time tonight.
Commercial Break
- The theme of the WWE Champion blares over the loudspeakers as CM Punk walks down to the ring, accompanied as always by the Straight Edge Society. He gets on the microphone and begins to cut a promo about his upcoming Six Pack Challenge. He admits that he's never been in one of these before and once again it looks like the establishment is trying to find a way to screw him out of the WWE Title because he is better than everyone. Upper management is jealous that they cannot be strong like him. People have been discussing who's going to be the Champion after The Bash and nobody is saying his name. They think its a forgone conclusion that he will walk out of St. Louis empty handed. He promises that will not happen. He will be the WWE Champion for a very long time and he guarantees that he will walk out of The Bash as the Champion. Everything that he preaches about the Straight Edge Society is true and he continues to prove it every night. He will prove it tonight when he defeats Shelton Benjamin yet again and it will ring truer than ever when he shows just how much better he is than his five opponents at The Bash.
Commercial Break
Tag Team Match Christian & Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton & The Miz
- Throughout this contest, The Miz did everything he could to avoid getting in the ring with Christian. At least not until they cut the ring in half on Christian. Then constant tags allowed to Miz to work over Christian. That was until he managed to make the hot tag to Jeff Hardy, who came in to take complete control of the contest. Eventually though, a well time low blow from Miz allowed Orton to nail Hardy with an RKO and get the win.
Winners: Randy Orton & The Miz [10:28] **½
[/color] Commercial Break[/li][li] Vickie Guerrero is shown watching the show on a monitor backstage when a knock is heard and in steps The Big Show. Vickie demands he leave instantly. Show smiles and says he doesn't want to stay for long, he just wanted to thank Vickie for making the retirement stipulation for him, only because it allowed Stephanie to make the “Vickie gets fired” stipulation. He promises that this will be the best WWE Title victory in his career as it will end her reign of terror on Friday nights.Number One Contender's Divas Match April Lee vs. Gail Kim[/color][/u] [/li][li]This one has been brewing for a long time, ever since Kim turned her back on her protege, April Lee, a few months back. Serena Mancini was at ringside during the contest, but it wasn't long before she got involved. She ruined what was a very good Divas' contest, by nailing both women just as Lee was going for Sliced Bread. No Contest [4:46] **[/li][li] Mancini left the ring raising her title high in the air as Lee and Kim looked on in rage. Stephanie McMahon's theme hit as the co-General Manager came out to the stage. She tells Serena that she's not going to get away with what she just did. She will now have to put her near six month title reign on the line at The Bash against both Gail Kim and April Lee! Serena was furious at this announcement as we cut to commercial.Commercial Break[/li][li] One more time, Josh Matthews is in the back, this time standing by with the “Gold Standard” Shelton Benjamin. He asks him about going one on one with CM Punk in a non-title match tonight. Shelton says that nothing will get him more momentum heading into The Bash than beating the Champion himself. He's had wars with Punk last year but they're in different places of their careers now and he feels like tonight is his night.Singles Match Tyler Black vs. William Regal[/color] [/li][li]This was easily one of the best seven minute matches in recent memory. Regal proved that he can still go with the best of them. He went move for move and hold for hold with Black and even took to the top rope. He delivered a well executed double axe handle. In the end though, Black climbed to the top to hit the Phoenix Splash, but Jack Swagger rushed to the ring and knocked him off of the top rope. That allowed Regal to roll him into a pin and pick up the win. Winner: William Regal [7:13] ***[/li][li] After the match, Jack Swagger immediately entered the ring and leveled Black with the United States Title. He then hit him with a gutwrench powerbomb followed by Regal locking Black in the Regal Stretch. As he's locked in the move, Swagger is prancing around the ring with his arms spread wide.Commercial BreakNon-Title Match WWE Champion CM Punk w/ The Straight Edge Society vs. Shelton Benjamin[/color] [/li][li]Considering all of the matches these two put on last year, including two on Pay-Per-View, one would expect a great main event. That's exactly what these two put on. They got a lot of time and put on a match that had multiple near falls. Benjamin came close with a belly-to-belly suplex, super kick and even an Exploder, while Punk got two counts with a knee strike/bulldog combo, double underhook back breaker and shining wizard. Finally, after more than ten minutes of action, Punk set up for the GTS only to have Benjamin wriggle free, turn him around and connect with Paydirt for the victory! Winner: Shelton Benjamin [13:53] ***¾[/li][li] Benjamin escaped out of the ring before the Straight Edge Society could enter the ring and do any damage. He headed up the ramp celebrating the huge amount of momentum he now has heading into The Bash.[/li][/ul] © WWE 2010[/font][/center]

Smackdown Review
I loved Smackdown from start to finish and especially loved it when you had it open up with Cody Rhodes and yes he has gotten better as of late, better than his WWE Hall of Fame father the American Dream Dusty Rhodes and way better than his older brother Goldust but yet Goldust keeps finding ways to beat Cody but I expect Cody to beat Goldust at some point because Cody is destined for greatness and it all starts in 2010 when he becomes the youngest WWE Champion in history at the age of 24 breaking Brock Lesnar's record as the youngest WWE Champion in history since Randy Orton was the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history
Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio ending in a Mysterio win, I loved it, but Cody looked good in this match and honestly I felt Cody needed the win more but Rey in reality he needs all the momentum he can get especially since he is in the Six-Pack Challenge for the WWE Championship at the Bash
Loved Tyler Black's interview and I for one hope he beats Regal tonight
The WWE Tag Team Champions The Dudebusters beating Londrick, it just goes to show you that London and Kendrick should have never gotten back together as a team because they have lost their touch as a team and honestly who can beat The Dudebusters right now? No one can, and that is why I think they will have a lengthy title reign with the WWE Tag Team Championship
Jeff Hardy and Christian backstage, I loved it because I remember back in the days of the Attitude Era they were rivals because their tag teams The Hardy Boyz and E & C were opponents and now these 2 are a team tonight, I think it will be interesting
CM Punk at this point he doesn't need The Straight Edge Society anymore because lately I feel that all they have done is hold him back from greatness because CM Punk is The Best In The World and in order for him to prove it he needs to be on his own, and I hope CM Punk does his shoot soon where he just shoots about WWE and just changes his whole gimmick to become the Best In The World but nevertheless CM Punk I think he could retain his WWE Championship at The Bash or he has the potential to do so but since he has never been in a Six-Pack Challenge before, the odds are against him for sure but knowing Punk he will find a way to win and I know he will beat Benjamin tonight
Randy Orton & The Miz beating their respective rivals Jeff Hardy and Christian gives Orton and Miz much needed momentum heading into the Bash especially Orton, he is my pick to walk out the new WWE Champion in that Six Pack Challenge, the Age of Orton is upon us once again, it is only a matter of time but if he had punted Jeff Hardy in the skull, it would have taken him out of the Six-Pack Challenge and Vickie's chances of retaining her job would be in tact especially if Hardy were out of the equation but Orton can still attack Hardy or anyone else who gets in his way next week
Big Show he is another favorite for the Six-Pack Challenge but if he loses, he has to retire, so for Show it is a must-win match for him, it is a must-win in order to become WWE Champion and I know I do not want to see Big Show retire because he still has a lot left to do in this business but Vickie she has ran her course as assistant GM of Smackdown, better yet I just want Vickie gone
April Lee and Gail Kim's match ending in a No Contest and all because of the WWE Women's Champion Serena Mancini, and then the Smackdown General Manager Stephanie McMahon making the announcement that Serena has to defend her WWE Women's Championship in a Triple-Threat Match against Gail Kim and April Lee, then Serena has a 33% chance of retaining her title but she has been WWE Women's Champion for so long, so if her reign ends at The Bash, then it will only be a matter of time before she wins it back but if she retains her title, then she could perhaps be the best WWE Women's Champion since Trish Stratus
Loved Benjamin's interview but I can't see him beating Punk tonight because if anything Punk is the Best in the World and he continues to prove just why he is on Smackdown and just why Smackdown is his show, but Benjamin should he pick up a fluke victory over Punk, he won't win at the Bash
William Regal beating Tyler Black, I loved it, and then Regal's Best in the World teammate the WWE United States Champion Jack Swagger attacking Tyler Black from behind with the title and then laying him out with a Gutwrench Powerbomb and then Regal locking in the Regal Stretch on Black, just goes to show you just how dangerous The Best In The World stable truly is
Shelton Benjamin beating CM Punk in the main event, could he be WWE Champion at the Bash? Possibly but I don't think he will, and not to mention Punk has been champion for how long now
Great Smackdown episode!!!!!!!!!!!

Another good episode of Smackdown this time around. It's nice to see Shelton get a win (albeit non-title) over CM Punk to give him some momentum. When I read that Shelton and MVP both managed to be world champions in your universe, one concern I had was when their title reigns ended, whether they would drop back to the midcard or not. But at least you've kept Shelton in the main event level.
Solid match between Black and Regal. The interference from Swagger wasn't totally unexpected and it helps build heat to their eventually confrontation.
Good tag team match between Christian/Jeff and Orton/Miz and I've enjoyed how you kept Orton as a heel in your timelime. He just doesn't seem like a babyface, expecially after all the acts he performed in the past. Also liked the Dudebusters vs. London/Kindrick match, though once you lose a non-title match to the champs, where do they go from here?
Once again another solid job and I'm looking forward to seeing the pay-per-view once it finally rolls around.
BTW who does the graphics for your pay-per-views? They're always well done and I was hoping he could help me out sinc eI have a pay-per-view coming up soon in my diary.

Different to open the show with a Cody Rhodes. Hoping he can defeat Goldust next week. Rey Mysterio then defeating Cody has its ups and downs. On one hand, it does provide Rey with some momentum heading into the Six Pack Challenge. On the other, it takes some away from Cody, especially after kicking off the show. Decent win for the Dudebusters. Keep their momentum rolling until the Airbourne Angels capture the titles, I would hope. Good promo from the WWE Champion CM Punk. Could've happened prior to the main event match with Shelton Benjamin instead. Probably should have, honestly. Great tag team match with Randy Orton and Miz getting the victory. A bit surprised they went over. Women's Champion Serena Mancini getting involved was fine to set up the Triple Threat Match at the Bash. I would expect either Gail or April to grab the title to continue their feud. Regal getting the victory over Tyler Black, not completely sold on that. I feel it hurts Black as a young star on the roster losing to a veteran who doesn't need to be picking up victories any more. I think a DQ finish would've done the job of progressing the feud between Tyler Black and United States Champion Jack Swagger. And finally, great main event here. Rematch from the Royal Rumble, if I'm not mistaken. But holy crap, was not expecting Benjamin to leave with the victory. Pretty much guarantees he won't be leaving the Bash as the WWE Champion, if that wasn't already obvious just from the look of the talent pool in the match. Overall, a solid episode of SmackDown. Looking forward to the go home week for the Bash.

Time for Friday Night SmackDown!
Interesting to have "The Prince of Pro Wrestling" Cody Rhodes open the show this week. Even though it sounds like his feud with Goldust may be coming to an end soon, it does seem like something that should be blown off at a major pay-per-view. But that's just me. Despite his boast, Rhodes couldn't pull off a win against Rey Mysterio, who needed the boost going into the Six-Pack Challenge for the WWE Championship. Tyler Black is determined to once again become the United States Champion, but he has to deal with William Regal before he can go after reigning champion Jack Swagger. Once again, the WWE World Tag Team Champion Dudebusters prove their dominance by defeating Londrick in a non-title match. I'd like to see Londrick bounce back and try again though. Great promo from the WWE Champion CM Punk. I can't see him losing the title come the Bash. Great tag team match involving Christian and Jeff Hardy against their bitter rivals in the Miz and Randy Orton. The heels get the victory in this one and it certainly builds up momentum for them in their respective matches at the Bash. Nice segment between the Big Show and Vickie Guerrero, but I can't see Show walk out of the Bash as WWE Champion and Guerrero leaving as SmackDown General Manager. I'll be interested to see what happens with that, especially since it also involves Hardy as well. Women's Champion Serena Mancini may have shot herself in the foot by interfering in a great diva's match featuring Gail Kim and former protege April Lee. Now, the Straight Edge Diva will have to defend her title against both Kim and Lee at the Bash. I wouldn't be surprised to see her lose it. Love the promo from Shelton Benjamin and also how he's still being featured as a main eventer. He deserves it. Regal defeating Black does serve a purpose as it now makes the latter more determined to try again against Swagger. Last but not least, the main event between Punk and Benjami, reigniting their rivalry from last year. It's great to see the Gold Standard pick up the win, but I still see Punk walking out of the Bash as WWE Champion. Another great show!

July 12th, 2010 | Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky
- The opening pyrotechnics fire off, signaling the start of our program. Jerry “The King” Lawler and Michael Cole introduce us to tonight's broadcast and remind us of our gigantic main event tonight. World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, Ezekiel Jackson and Alberto Del Rio will take on Edge, John Cena and Kofi Kingston in six man tag team action! Plus, Ted Dibiase Sr. will be our special guest host and his legendary theme hits as the Hall of Famer joins us!
- Ted Dibiase enters the ring, does his trademark laugh and then goes into a promo. He first talks about how honored he is to be hosting Raw tonight and announces that with JBL having the night off, he's in charge and has full control. He announces that tonight not only will we see the huge six man tag main event, but we will also see Michelle McCool defend her Divas Championship against Mickie James! He also knows that his son has a big match coming up with Sheamus so tonight both Sheamus and Ted get to choose each others poison! At this point, Ted Dibiase Jr.'s theme hits and he makes his way down to the ring. He hugs his dad and says that he feels like the Pick Your Poison idea is a great one. He says that both he and Sheamus were informed of this ahead of time which gave them time to choose opponents so he wants to introduce Sheamus' opponent right now...The Big Show! Big Show comes out to the crowd's approval and he shakes hands with the Dibiases.
Commercial Break
Singles Match Big Show vs. Sheamus
- There was an interesting dynamic in this contest as Sheamus was at a rare power disadvantage. They went back and forth throughout and Show continued his string of good performances. He nailed Sheamus with some huge chops in the corner that turned the Irishmen's chest beat red. Sheamus went for the Brogue Kick near the end but Show caught it. He geared up for the Knockout Punch, but Sheamus broke free and nailed the referee, causing the disqualification.
Winner via Disqualification: Big Show [10:19] **¾
- Sheamus stares down at the referee before turning to Show, only to be met with a huge right hand. Sheamus was laid out in the center of the ring as Big Show checked on the referee.
Commercial Break
- We return to see Ted Dibiase in his office for the night along with his son. Ted Dibiase Jr. says that he really enjoyed the aftermath of the previous match. His father tells him to enjoy it for now because his Pick Your Poison match is coming up later tonight and he still needs to make sure he's ready for Sheamus this Sunday.
Divas Championship Michelle McCool [c] w/ Layla vs. Mickie James
- James finally gets the title shot she's coveted for almost two months now and she seemed to be making good on her desire for the match. She was in the driver's seat after a hot start by McCool until she set up for the Mick Kick. Layla hopped on the apron, which distracted James. That allowed McCool to connect with a big boot once she turned back towards her, followed by the Faith Breaker which got her the win.
Winner and Still Women's Champion: Michelle McCool [5:09] **
Commercial Break
- Dolph Ziggler is shown with Josh Matthews. Josh asks him why he wanted this time. Dolph says that it's simple really. Since he won the Intercontinental Title just less than two months ago, nobody has been able to touch him in the ring. He says that he is the very best and he continues to steal the show every single night. He knows that Elijah Burke is next in line for a title shot, but once he disposes of him, he promises to defeat whoever is in his way and he will go down in history as the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.
Non-Title Tag Team Match WWE World Tag Team Champions The Dudebusters w/ Caylen Croft vs. The Hart Trilogy w/ Natalya Neidhart
- Despite not being the focal point of the tag team division like they were last year, the Hart Trilogy are still amongst the best in-ring teams in the WWE and they showed it once again tonight. They fought back from The Dudebusters cutting the ring in half and nailed the springboard Hart Attack on Hawkins. They went for the cover, but Croft pulled Wilson off of Hawkins. Smith nailed Croft, but that allowed Hawkins to roll up Wilson from behind with what little strength he had to seal the deal.
Winner: Winners: WWE World Tag Team Champions The Dudebusters [7:39] **½
[/color] [/li][li]The announcers put over how The Dudebusters have won another match due to having the third man on their side. Suddenly, the theme of our guest host, Ted Dibiase plays. He comes to the stage and says that he's watched The Dudebusters over the past few weeks and have noticed how they seem to use their man advantage to help win their matches. He called Stephanie McMahon during this match and they came up with an idea for this Friday on Smackdown. The Dudebusters will be defending their Tag Team Titles against all of the teams they've wronged this week. It will be the Dudebusters taking on the Hart Trilogy, the Airbourne Angels and Paul London & Brian Kendrick! Not only that, but it will be contested under Tables, Ladders & Chairs rules! The Dudebusters are livid at this announcement but the crowd seems to love it. Commercial BreakSingles Match Randy Orton vs. Ted Dibiase Jr.[/u] [/li][li]As we returned from commercial, we learned who Sheamus chose as Ted Dibiase's poison and it was none other than the Viper himself, Randy Orton. This turned out to be a first time contest between two former Legacy teammates, and they showed some great chemistry. Orton put together a few near falls, and so did Dibiase. After about ten minutes of grueling action, Dibiase hooked Orton into the Million Dollar Dream. Sheamus' theme hit and Dibiase instantly dropped Orton, ready for a fight. Dibiase was ready, but Sheamus never showed. The theme stopped and he turned to Orton, only to be hit with a devastating RKO! Winner: Randy Orton [11:21] ***¼[/li][li] As Orton left up the ramp, the cameras once again caught Dibiase in the ring and he was slowly getting up. Suddenly, we hear Sheamus' voice shouting for Ted. We see Sheamus on screen, telling Ted that getting knocked out by Big Show earlier left him embarrassed and he can't let that sit. He wants to hurt Ted in every way possible and he knows the best way to do so. The camera pans out to show Ted Dibiase Sr. in a lot of pain and hunched over. Sheamus steps back and nails him with a huge Brogue Kick! Ted Dibiase Jr. heads up the ramp as quickly as his injured body will allow. Sheamus does a mockery of Ted Dibiase's legendary laugh as we cut away.Commercial Break[/li][li] Josh Matthews is now standing by with three of the men in tonight's main event; Edge, Kofi Kingston & John Cena. They all look fired up and Josh asks how they feel about teaming together tonight. Kofi answers first and says it's an honor to team with two first ballot Hall of Famers tonight and that it will be satisfying to finally get his hands on Alberto Del Rio. John Cena goes next and says that he can tell that the fight with the Best in the World is just getting started, but he's ready to go to war with them for as long as it takes. Edge ends the promo by saying that tonight we get a preview of The Bash where all three of them will stop the Best in the World in their tracks. A preview of him regaining his World Heavyweight Title, and a preview of him taking Chris Jericho out.Tag Team Match Carlito & Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Elijah Burke & Mr. Kennedy[/li][li]This turned out to be your basic tag team match as the heels cut the ring in half and really worked over Burke. Kennedy seemed to be getting frustrated on the apron during this time period. Burke began to rally and looked to be on the verge of a big comeback. The crowd got behind him and made the hot tag to Kennedy who came in on fire. Shortly after his hot streak though, it was stopped cold by a Zig Zag which ended the match. Winners: Carlito & Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler [8:21] **¼[/color] [/li][li] After the match, Ziggler left up the ramp raising his Intercontinental Title as Burke stared him down from in the ring. Kennedy got up and turned Burke towards him and nailed him with the Mic Check! The crowd booed as Kennedy stared down at his partner in disgust before leaving.[/li][li] We cut to the back one final time tonight as we see the Best in the World in their locker room. Chris Jericho is giving them a pep talk before the main event. He says that even though they've had a recent setback with the ECW Title, Drew McIntyre is going to get it back for them at The Bash and Jackson will dominate John Cena once again this Sunday. He tells them that tonight is a big test as three of them get to show at once that they are indeed the Best in the World. They all seem pumped by this speech.Commercial BreakSix Man Tag Team Match Alberto Del Rio, World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho & Ezekiel Jackson vs. Edge, John Cena & Kofi Kingston[/color] [/li][li]The crowd was completely into our main event as they got a huge preview for this Sunday's Pay-Per-View extravaganza. This contest got a lot of time and featured some intense back and forth action. Del Rio, Jericho and Jackson cut the ring in half after some time and really worked over Kofi. He managed to make the hero's comeback and rally behind the crowd's enthusiasm. He made the hot tag to Cena, who came in on fire and hit the Best in the World with everything he's got. Unfortunately, a well timed low blow from Jericho allowed Jackson to hit Cena with the Book of Ezekiel and pick up another pinfall over John Cena! Winners: Alberto Del Rio, World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho & Ezekiel Jackson [16:09] ***¼[/li][li] The Best in the World continued to clean house and took out both Kingston and Edge. They stood tall in the middle of the ring as Raw closed, with Jericho front and center clutching his World Heavyweight Championship.[/li][/ul] © WWE 2010[/font][/center]

RAW Review
- Ted DiBiase Sr. WWE Hall of Famer, the Million Dollar Man and Ted's dad is the special guest host for tonight, this is going to be great because everybody everybody's gotta a price for the Million Dollar Man and you know Sheamus has a price especially when it comes to messing with Ted Sr.'s son Ted Jr. and Ted Sr. already making big matches for tonight with his son Ted Jr. and Sheamus having Pick Your Poison matches for tonight, and the main event being Edge, Kofi, and Cena taking on the Best In The World members Jericho, Del Rio, and Big Zeke, this is going to be great
- Sheamus' Pick Your Poison opponent turns out to be Big Show The World's Largest Athlete, this is going to be great because we all know Sheamus is going to get knocked out but Sheamus being the coward he is gets himself DQ'ed because he was getting dominated by the Giant, and then it all ending with Big Show leaving Sheamus laying by hitting him with the Knockout Punch, this is great, it seems Sheamus has his price now HAAAAAAAAAAA
- Loved the DiBiases backstage but then Ted Sr. telling Ted Jr. that his match is coming up next, but knowing Ted Sr. he probably has a plan where his son's match is concerned
- Michelle McCool beating Mickie James to retain her Divas Championship, it just goes to show you that with Layla in her corner that no one can beat Michelle McCool, no one and that she is going to be Divas Champion for a long long time but I really hope Laycool breaks up and they break up soon because personally I think Layla holds Michelle back
- Loved Dolph Ziggler's promo and why? Because it just shows why he is The Show Off and it is not showing off when you can back it up and so far Dolph has done nothing but back it up by being the WWE Intercontinental Champion and he does what he always does by stealing the show and that Elijah Burke is not even in his league because he is just that damn good, but Burke I doubt he could even beat Ziggler, but personally I think Ziggler is prime for main event status
- Dudebusters coming away with another W by beating The Hart Trilogy to retain their WWE Unified Tag Team Championship in a great match but then Ted Sr. making the announcement that the Dudebusters will defend their WWE Unified Tag Team Championships against The Hart Trilogy, London & Kendrick and the Airbourne Angels in a Fatal 4-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match, this is going to be awesome but I personally feel that the TLC match should be at The Bash and not on an episode of Smackdown
- Randy Orton my man does it again by beating his former Legacy teammate and pupil Ted DiBiase Jr. in Ted Jr.'s Pick Your Poison match and it was a great match because of the chemistry Randy and Ted have out there in that ring, because Orton picks up momentum heading into The Bash for the Six-Pack Challenge for the WWE Championship while Ted Jr. having to watch his dad Ted Sr. get Brogue Kicked by Sheamus, that was heinous, despicable even and Sheamus then mocking Ted Sr.'s laugh afterwards, even more sickening and I hope Ted Jr. beats the hell out of Sheamus at The Bash but at the same time Sheamus did get his revenge after being knocked out earlier in the night by Show
- Edge, Kofi and Cena's backstage interview I loved that whole segment because it builds up nicely towards your main event and also because of the way your rivalries all intertwine with one another in this match
- Mr. Kennedy turning heel on Elijah Burke, I loved it, Kennedy's heel turn in my opinion just needed to happen because he has been rather stale as a face anyways so I am happy about that because Kennedy needs to be in the main event as a main eventer not having to be saddled as a mid-carder teaming with the likes of Burke, and I love how Carlito and Ziggler won the match because Ziggler gets another win, because it just goes to show you that Ziggler is just that damn good and that no one can beat him for that IC Title
- Chris Jericho backstage with his Best In The World teammates giving them a pep talk to motivate them, I love it, and I personally feel Jericho has always needed to have a stable but now that he has one he has shown that he has what it takes to be a great leader
- RAW ending with The Best In The World standing tall, love it because it gives them momentum heading into The Bash, but what The Best In The World stable needs is their own theme song to come out to as a group

Time for Monday Night RAW, the last one before the Bash!
We open up the show with the "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase promising a great card for the evening. This leads to his son, Ted DiBiase Jr., coming out to choose Sheamus' pick-your-poison opponent for the evening, which is the Big Show. This lead to an interesting match between the Celtic Warrior and the World's Largest Athlete, which ended in a disqualification. But the Big Show and DiBiase get the last laugh as Sheamus gets laid out following the match. Figured Michelle McCool would retain her Diva's Championship against Mickie James, thanks to Layla. I'm interested to see what happens next, whether James gets another chance somewhere down the road or a new challenger for McCool steps up. I say this because there are eight divas on RAW, three of which are faces. Loved the promo from the Intercontinental Champion, Dolph Ziggler. Seems like you're building him up real well. The Dudebusters run through their third consecutive tag team in a week with the Hart Trilogy thanks to their Freebird-style advantage. But now, they face a real challenge. In this case, a TLC match against the Hart Trilogy, the Airbourne Angels and Paul London and Brian Kendrick on SmackDown. I thought the idea of a Dudebusters/Angels/Londrick match would be epic. But I was wrong as it now involves the Trilogy. Although I'm not sure what to think about it being on free TV. It sounds like a match that should be saved for a big pay-per-view. Not the Bash since you have a stacked card already set, but maybe for SummerSlam. At the same time though, the match would be something that would make people want to tune into SmackDown that week. But I'm sure you know what you're doing. With that out of the way, back to the show. Looks like Sheamus got some revenge against DiBiase going into their match at the Bash. First, DiBiase loses to his pick-your-poison opponent, Randy Orton, and then witnesses his father get beat down by Sheamus. I figured the elder DiBiase's appearance on RAW would serve some purpose as it really heats up the DiBiase/Sheamus feud. John Cena, Edge and Kofi Kingston are amped up for their six-man tag team match tonight. Sounds like a dream team right there. Ziggler proves once again that he's legit after he and Carlito defeated Elijah Burke and Mr. Kennedy. But the real story here is what happened after the match in which we saw Kennedy turn on Burke. Kennedy's heel turn was desperately needed as he had been stale for some time now. Maybe this can lead him to leaving the midcard and enter the main event scene, where he should've been years ago. Much like Cena, Edge and Kingston were earlier, Chris Jericho, Alberto Del Rio and Ezekiel Jackson are equally pumped for the main event. In the main event, Best in the World proved to be superior over Cena, Edge and Kingston. It certainly builds up for the Bash. Another great show!
BTW, I noticed on your roster page that Jericho wasn't listed under the heel column for RAW between Carlito and Ziggler. I'm not sure if you were aware of that but I thought I should bring it to your attention.

Sorry for not following this much recently, Kev. Hopefully going to get back on track with it now.
A good way to open up the show. Pick Your Poison stipulations are always good feud advancers. Big Show is an interesting choice, and the disqualification finish makes sense as to not make Sheamus look weak, but also keep him from looking too unstoppable by defeating the giant. However, a Knockout Punch post-match knocked Sheamus down a peg or two. Michelle McCool retaining the Women's Championship is always a good thing, as she was one of the better Champions in recent years. Totally forgot how prominent The Dudebusters were in your diary, pleased to see them still the WWE Tag Team Champions and with a victory over The Hart Trilogy. A Fatal 4-Way TLC Match is a great throwback to the good old days with the Hardy Boys/Dudley Boys/E&C matches. A huge loss for Ted DiBiase at the hands of Randy Orton, but with the involvement of Sheamus, it goes down well. An interesting tag team match to say the least, but a good win for Carlito and Dolph Ziggler. Intriguing to see Mr. Kennedy lay out Elijah Burke after the match. A huge close to the show with the Six-Man Tag Team Match and a great victory for the Best in the World. I still love that team, it's certainly something unique for this time period. A good show and it's good to see you back.

Go home show for The Bash. Should be a good one. Good appearance from the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase, to set up tonight's show. Sheamus and DiBiase Jr. in Pink Your Poison sounds good. Sheamus vs. Big Show is a massive opener. The DQ finish was fine to keep both men strong for their big matches on Sunday. Glad Michelle McCool managed to hold on to the Women's Championship. I'm a bit stumbled on which Divas are on RAW or SmackDown, so I can't really imagine who will take the title from McCool. You're gonna push Ziggler into the main event picture by the end of the year, okay? Good victory for the Dudebusters here. A TLC Match?!? Holy hell, what a match. So much awesomeness in there for me to wrap my head around. Orton and DiBiase is a great first hour main event, especially with their history. Orton with the win is a bit damaging to DiBiase I think, especially since Sheamus' match finished with a DQ. Great angle with DiBiase Sr. taking a Brogue Kick. Glad that Dolph Ziggler and Carlito got the victory, but mostly Ziggler. Aside from him, the other three seem completely lost in this time period. Lastly, massive Six Man Tag match. Best In The World getting the win is fine, makes me believe either all of them or a majority of them will lose their matches at the Bash. A good show overall.
