Like the intimidation factor there with Khali. I hope you don't do Morrison/HBK at Mania as HBK can do better. Wonder where you are going with Kofi there. Wonder if Jericho will actually make it to Wrestlemania as champ because Orton/Jericho would be weird. Good win to get Cena & Rey on the show. Good point brought up by Jericho at the end, and you have me interested as to whether or not Orton/Jericho will actually go down.

Randy/Shane LMS is drool worthy. Can't wait for that match man. Ooh, HBK/Morrison at Mania? Maybe. I wouldn't mind seeing that match. Hopefully they have a couple of matches, maybe them winning both one a piece. Kingston beating Ziggler is pleasing as is a win for The Glamazon. Loving the re-formation of The Cabinet, and looking forward to seeing the two members. Legacy vs Cabinet? Sounds interesting. Kane losing again? Oh well, at least he didn't get pinned. Orton/Jericho at Mania tbh = meh. It's a good match and all, but both major heels at Mania for the World Title just isn't appealing. Unless you turn one face, but that wouldn't be wise as both are your top two heels.
Overall a very good Raw, but i'm really not liking the idea of Jericho/Orton at Mania.

Raw was good. Good way to keep up the McMahon feud by throwing Khali in there. Decent divas match, glad Candice jobbed. Really liked the HBK/Mizorrison segment. Hopefully Morrison benefits from this. Nice low card match. I hope you push Kofi back to Intercontinental Championship contention. Cabinet reunited will be interesting. I think I know who the members are going to be, but I don't want to say and sound stupid. Not sure about all the heel vs. heel stuff that your doing. Seems weird that Cena won't be main eventing Wrestlemania. Decent tag match and a good way to put Orton over going into next week. Great ending segment.

 February 17th 2009The ECW opening video package airs, and is followed by Todd Grisham and Matt Striker running down the events of No Way Out, as well as what you can expect to see tonight. The ECW Heavyweight champion, Jack Swagger, makes his way to the ring to kick off the show. Swagger requests a microphone, and talks about how at No Way Out he retained his title from that drunk Irishman Finlay. Swagger promises to keep hold of the title for the rest of his time in ECW, before Christian interrupts him, calling him a nobody and that he can’t even remember his name. Christian challenges Swagger to a match at WrestleMania, but ECW general manager Theodore Long interrupts, telling Christian that he will have his chance in a four way elimination match in a few weeks time, but only if he can win his qualifying match tonight. Long makes it clear that three more qualifying matches will take place in the upcoming weeks. Charlie Haas vs. Paul BurchillHaas makes his ECW debut here tonight, really impressing the live crowd. He’s no longer using his impersonator gimmick, but something close to his World’s Greatest Tag Team gimmick. Burchill came at Haas right from the start, completely underestimating him as Haas caught him off guard with a big dropkick, and just picked him apart from there, getting the pin following the Haas of Pain. Winner: Charlie HaasECW cuts to backstage, where Jack Swagger is attempting (and failing) to flirt with a female member of the backstage crew, when Finlay pushes him from behind. Swagger and Finlay go nose to nose, and Finlay warn Swagger that if anybody is leaving WrestleMania 25 with the ECW Championship, it will be the fighting Irishman. Tyson Kidd W/ Natayla vs. A Local CompetitorThis was simply a squash match, with Kidd dominating from start to finish. Its difficult to tell how good Kidd is, since he hasn’t had a real competitive match yet. Kidd finished his opponent off with the Code Blue. Winner: Tyson KiddFollowing the match Natayla passes Tyson Kidd a microphone, and Tyson Kidd proceeds to cut a promo on coming to ECW, and how “some people” tried to hold him back, but he got the last laugh on them. Kidd promises to make an impact here in ECW. John Morrison W/ The Miz vs. Tommy DreamerFollowing John Morrison and the Miz’s actions on RAW this was obviously a chance to prove their point that old timers should give it up. Dreamer wasn’t going to let that happen though, and he really went at Morrison from the start and controlled large portions of the match. The numbers game got to Dreamer though with Miz’s presence at ringside constantly distracting Dreamer, and it was this distraction that allowed Morrison to connect with a swinging neckbreaker for the victory. Winner: John MorrisonEvan Bourne comes out onto the stage with a microphone in hand getting a large pop from the crowd. Bourne talks about how he has been out of action for the past few months, but that earlier tonight he was giving the all clear to return to the ring. Bourne announces his in ring return will take place next week on ECW, much to the delight of the live crowd. Four Way Elimination Qualifying Match
Christian vs. Chavo GuerreroJack Swagger was on guest commentary for this match, but it was the in ring work that really grabbed everyone’s attention. Christian and Chavo really put on a great match, definitely one of Chavo’s best in recent months. Both men got in alot of offence, and either could have got the win at times. The ending stretch saw Chavo climb to the top rope only to miss a Frog Splash. Christian then connected with the Killswitch for the pinfall. Winner: ChristianECW came to an end with Christian standing tall, signalling to Jack Swagger that he is coming for the ECW Heavyweight Championship. |

Nice ECW Rated R. I like how your going to wait a few weeks before we find out who faces Swagger at Wrestlemania. Good to see Haas get a victory, hopefully Burchill will also get some wins too. Good Swagger/Finlay promo. Can't wait to see what you do with Tyson Kidd, as I'm really impressed by his first two matches on ECW. Good to see Morrison go over Dreamer. Please don't give Dreamer the title because he's retiring. Glad to see Evan Bourne coming back. Hopefully he doesn't get lost as the third top babyface behind Christian and Finlay. Good that Christian won, I hope either him or Bourne win the Fatal Fourway.

Well plaid with Dreamer/Morrison, playing off of RAW there, well done. Christian/Swagger segment was another good tease, and the main event was solid. Kidd getting another win is expected, his ifrst real feud will be interesting to see. Haas being serious again is a good addition to ECW.

My thoughts on RAW:
A last man standing match to settle the Orton/ McMahon feud sounds like a good move, and hopefully it will settle things and allow Orton to focus on the Mania feud. I'm not a big fan of Candice, so its good to see Phoenix get the win. I'm a big fan of a Michaels/ Morrison feud, so if its done well then it could be a highlight on RAW. Good to see Kingston get the win, Ziggler is currently just a joke. A stable feud could be interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing who JBL brings in. The tag match was solid, but I'm a little confused where your taking Cena. He's just lost the world title, if you dont give him a good feud he could get lost in the shuffle heading into Mania. Good to see Priceless helping out Orton, the ending was good and Orton/ Jericho could be an incredible match.

Like how you aren't pulling the trigger automatically on Christian/Swagger. I assume that's the match you will go with anyway. Decent opening match. Haven't seen Kidd so can't comment on that. Morrison winning made sense since there's nothing to do with Dreamer. Glad Bourne is coming back. Christian winning was obviously the right call.

RAW
The Good: Beth winning. I like Morrison feud perhaps with HBK. Knox eating the pin. Jericho/Orton feud could be fun.
The Bad: Continuing Shane/Orton. No Holds Barred should have been it. I prefer Ziggler to Kofi. Not sure about two top heel stables on RAW.
The Ugly: Khali in the main event.
ECW
The Good: Charlie Haas is on ECW television. The funny, failed attempt by Lispy (Swagger) flirting. Tyson Kidd. Bourne returning is awesome. Main even seemed like a solid match.
The Bad: Burchill had to be the man to lose to Haas. Finlay believes he can beat Swagger, when he already lost to him. Playing the whole “keep me down” card with Kidd doesn’t make sense to me. Considering he has only been in the company, as a known name, for a few weeks and not years.
The Ugly: Natayla, she looks way too much like Anvil!

 20th December 2009A video package plays highlighting WWE No Way Out, focusing on Edge retaining the WWE Championship. This is followed by the SmackDown opening video. Jim Ross and Tazz then run down tonight’s show. Reigning WWE Champion Edge kicks off the show, making his way to the ring and showing off the championship. Edge talks about how at No Way Out he proved himself as the only man deserving of the title. Mr. Kennedy interrupts and makes his way to the ring, telling Edge that he needs to remember what happened Sunday, that he was laid out at the hands of Mr. Kennedy. The two argue until they are interrupted by Triple H, who tells the two to shut up since Edge still has his WWE Championship. The three nearly come to blows before SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero announces that starting tonight an eight man tournament will take place, with the winner facing Edge at WrestleMania 25. Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins vs. Cryme TimeA great tag team match, which saw the debut of Cryme Time on the SmackDown brand. Curt Hawkins wasn’t really impressive here, and Zack Ryder could probably benefit from a singles run. Cryme Time controlled alot of the match, and picked up the win after hitting Hawkins with the G9. Winners: Cryme TimeWilliam Regal is shown backstage talking with Michelle McCool. Shelton Benjamin walks up to him, and tells him that he better be ready for their tag team match later tonight. Regal looks at him and tells Benjamin to keep out of his way. Regal walks off, leaving Benjamin confused. Maryse vs. MariaMaryse returned to the ring here, and it doesn’t look like her injury has done any long term damage. Maryse really went for Maria, who is becoming less and less convincing as a possible threat to the Diva’s champion. Maria got in some offence, but it wasn’t really anything special, and Maryse got the win following a big hurricane DDT. Winner: MaryseSmackDown cuts to WWE Champion Edge and GM Vickie Guerrero backstage in her office. Edge tells Vickie that the tournament is a great idea, that it doesn’t matter who wins, since they’ll be worn down by wrestling three matches to get there. Vickie tells Edge that it doesn’t matter who wins if Edge cant retain the title at the event. There’s an awkward tension as SmackDown cuts back to the ring. William Regal & Shelton Benjamin vs. Montel Vontavious Porter & Chavo GuerreroA solid tag team match that comprised of the main players in the United States Championship division. Regal really impressed as he returned to the SmackDown brand, and could be something big if given the chance. Chavo and Benjamin were involved in a cool spot, where Shelton hit a T-Bone Suplex for the top rope on Chavo. Regal came out of nowhere with a brutal knee to the skull of Chavo following this, and stole the win. Winners: William Regal & Shelton BenjaminFollowing the match William Regal and Shelton Benjamin argue over who should have got the pinfall. MVP comes in from behind and sends both to the outside with a double clothesline. MVP raises his United States Championship, and shouted that nobody is taking it away from him. A lengthy Money in the Bank video airs, promoting that this year’s match will feature six wrestlers, and that qualifying matches will take place in the weeks preceeding WrestleMania 25. This is followed by Jim Ross running down the Road to WrestleMania Tournament. Road to WrestleMania Tournament Quarter Final Match
The Undertaker vs. Vladamir KozlovNot the best match of the night, but the fans were into it. Undertaker really took it too Kozlov, who gave as good as he got. The match didn’t feature very much in the way of technical wrestling, but was focused on brawling. Kozlov nearly knocked Taker out with what looked to be a botched belly to belly suplex where Undertaker landed clean on his head. Kozlov delivered some big head butts, only for Undertaker to nail him with a chokeslam. Undertaker followed up with the Tombstone and got the pinfall, giving Kozlov his first pinfall loss. Winner: The UndertakerBackstage Eve Torres attempts to get an interview with Jeff Hardy about his brother, but Jeff ignores her, pushing her out of the way and walks off in the direction of the ring. Edge & Matt Hardy vs. Triple H & Jeff HardyA superb main event which saw two teams who hate each other clash. Edge and Jeff went at it early on in the match and really got the crowd on the edge of their seats with some early near falls. However the best parts of the match were easily the fights between the two Hardy brothers. Triple H nearly ended the match, connecting with a Pedigree on Matt Hardy only for Edge to make the save. Edge and Matt made a surprisingly solid team throughout. The ending stretch saw Jeff and Matt brawl outside the ring, distracting Triple H long enough for Edge to set up, and nail the spear for the win. Winners: Edge & Matt HardyAs SmackDown comes to an end Edge escaped through the crowd with the WWE Championship while security separated Matt and Jeff Hardy. |

Like how an eight man tourney is going on so someone isn't randomly given a Mania title shot. Glad Maryse won, and hope she keeps her title for a while. Hope Shelton gets a big push at some point. Wasn't a fan of Kozlov getting his first loss here, it was sort of a waste, especially since it wasn't even the main event. Like how Jeff doesn't want to talk about Matt. Good main event/ending to the show, and I see Edge/HHH happening at Mania.

Good Smackdown. I like the eight man tourney idea. Cryme Tyme winning is alright. A Ryder singles run sounds interesting. Good Benjamin/Regal segment. Decent divas match. Kind of a funny awkward moment there with Edge/Vickie. Surprised Koslov got paired with Taker in the first round. Koslov probably should have gotten his first loss on a ppv or at least a main event on Smackdown. Its okay though as Koslov really isn't that great anyways. Great main event with 2 interesting teams. Can't wait to see what you do with the Hardys.

The 8 man tournament idea is solid, and I look forward to seeing how things go. I'm also really going to enjoy seeing how the US Title picture plays out. Not too happy with Kozlov getting his first loss here, it just seemed like it was a bit wasted. It would have been much better served in the finals of the tournament. But other than that, a really well doen Smackdown

 February 23, 2009 Money in the Bank Qualifier
Kane vs Mike KnoxTwo big men going at it for the chance to earn a championship shot at Wrestlemania, this was an entertaining opener. Knox almost stole it early on with a big bicycle kick to the head of Kane, but Kane recovered, and hit two chokeslams in a row to down his large opponent, and qualify for MITB. Winner: KaneA video recapping Legacy challenging JBL's new Cabinet to a tag match from last week's RAW played.Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase vs DJ Gabriel & Ezekial JacksonJBL's Cabinet turned out to be two new superstars to Smackdown, the cocky, talented Gabriel and the bigger, dominant Jackson, of course, with Alicia Fox on their side. Rhodes and Dibiase had the early advantage, as their chemistry as a team was better, but Gabriel managed to reverse a DDT attempt from Rhodes into a rollup, and get the win. Winners: JBL's CabinetStephanie McMahon was walking backstage, when John Cena walked into view and stopped her. Cena said that he still has a rematch clause for losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Chris Jericho at No Way Out, and he asked if he could use it next week on RAW, and face Jericho for the belt. Stephanie told him it was done, and Cena thanked her.CM Punk & Kofi Kingston vs Miz & MorrisonGood non title match here, as Miz and Morrison seemed to dominate at first, but Punk hit a GTS out of nowhere on Miz, and Kofi took Morrison out f the ring. However, only a 2 count was made. Eventually, Miz and Morrison got fed up, and Miz delivered a low blow to Punk. Winners Via DQ: Punk & KingstonAfter the match, Miz and Morrison began to viciously beat down Punk and Kingston, but Shawn Michaels came running down the ramp to assist them. HBK got the jump on Morrison, but it seemed to be a trap, and Miz got HBK from behind, and another beatdown of HBK occurred at the hands of Morrison and Miz. Afterward, Miz announced that he would be taking on HBK next week on RAW.Melina, Mickie James & Candice vs Beth Phoenix, Jillian & Rose MendezRose Mendez made her debut here, on Beth's team ,and she looked impressive, as the match featured really good back and forth action. Mickie almost got the win, going for her spinning DDT on Beth, but Beth countered by throwing James to the mat, and then hitting the Glamaslam for the win. Winners: Beth, Rose & JillianAfter the match, Beth Phoenix challenged Melina to a Women's Championship match next week on RAW. Melina accepted. However, General Manager Stephanie McMahon came down to the ring, and said that interference from Santino and Rose Mendez was too large a risk, and as a result, she would not allow it to happen. Stephanie said the title match would take place on March 21, in the return of Saturday Night's Main Event, and that just to prevent interference, and change things up, it would be in a Steel Cage Match! Chris Jericho came down to the ring, World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder, a mic in his hand. Jericho started putting himself over, and then talked about Cena facing him for the title next week. Jericho said that Cena has no chance,and will fade into obscurity after he loses next week. This brought out Cena, who got into the ring, and the two began to have a verbal battle, but Jericho broke that, trying to nail Cena hit the belt, but Cena got the drop toe hold, and locked in the STFU, and Jericho tapped out. If Jericho does that next week, we'll have a new champion! Last Man Standing Match
Randy Orton vs Shane McMahonThis one was brutal, with both men taking a lot of punishment and dishing out just as much. Orton actually moved from a coast to coast attempt, and from there, it was almost all Orton. He slammed Shane through the announce table, and prepared for a punt, but Shane moved. Shane ended up getting the thumbtacks out, but Orton delivered an RKO onto them, and then a punt, to win the match. Winner: Randy OrtonAfter the match, Shane McMahon was being carried out by EMT's, as he was severely hurt. Orton looked pleased with himself, but it turned to shock, as a video played on the titantron, announcing that Vince McMahon would be coming to RAW next week. Stephanie made her way out to the stage, and told Orton that next week, things would be finished once and for all. |

My thoughts on RAW:
Kane being in the Money in the Bank match is interesting, I'm a big fan of Kane, so I'm really hoping you return him to his old monster ways. JBL's new cabinet is great, and a good way to build up two upcoming talents. I loved the end to the tag match, with Morrison N' Miz ending the match on their terms. I'm pumped for the Michaels vs. Miz match next week, I'm a big Morrison N' Miz fan, so them being involved in a feud with Michaels is great. I've never been a big fan of WWE's women's scene, but the six diva tag was good, and a steel cage match for the women's title is certainly interesting. The Jericho/ Cena rematch should be solid as long as Jericho doesn't lose the title so soon after winning it. I liked the last man standing match, and with Vince coming back next week I'm expecting something big to be announced. Solid show man, next week's RAW looks huge.

Unfortunately realistic opening contest to WWE RAW, I hate that Kane or Mike Knox were given a chance into Money in the Bank when Knox isn't deserving and Kane is too deserving to be in this match. Depush Knox, please. I hate both members of JBL's Cabinet, if you gave DJ Gabriel and Ezekiel Jackson gimmicks with a backstory to, I may actually begin to care about them. I hate how you fed Ted Dibiase Jr and Cody Rhodes to them. CM Punk and Kofi Kingston had some good matches with John Morrison and The Miz, seemed like a solid match. Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendez and Jillian Hall beating Melina, Mickie James and Candice is fine. I love where you're going for a steel cage match between two women, that's so awesomely unique. Great promo with Chris Jericho. I think Randy Orton vs Shane McMahon ran its course, so thank god it ended here.

Weird opening to Raw since I thought both were heels, but glad Kane won. I was hoping Zeke would get the pin but oh well. DQ finish in the tag match was fine, still meh on the idea of Morrison/HBK if it happens at Mania. Steel cage match for the women? Great idea there, usually never happens. Glad ORton won to end that mess with Shane. Good show overall. My only complaint is that it seemed a little too short for a two-hour show.

Raw was okay. Kane beating Knox is okay, but I don't think either man should be in MITB. The Cabinet team was kind of random if you ask me, and I would rather have Legacy win there. Good tag match with a decent ending. Interesting HBK/Morrison feud, can't wait to see where that goes. Decent woman's match, like the cage match idea. I hope Beth wins. Good Cena/Jericho segment. Glad Orton beat Shane, and I wonder what Vince's announcement will be. Good job.

24th February 2009The ECW opening video package airs, followed by Todd Grisham and Matt Striker running down tonight’s card. Christian kicks off the show, talking about his victory last week in the Four Way Elimination Qualifying Match. Christian promises that last week was only the beginning, and that from here on, Christian’s domination of ECW has officially begun. Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Charlie Haas vs. The BoogeymanA surprisingly solid match, and one in which the Boogeyman actually put on a decent performance, which is rare. Nobody really expected the Boogeyman to get the win, so the result wasn’t a big surprise when Haas connected with a big crossbody for the win. Winner: Charlie HaasWorld Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz are out next. Morrison talks about how Shawn Michaels has lost his edge, and that he hasn’t got long left. The Miz promises that when the two face off on RAW, Michaels will get a reality check. The Miz W/ John Morrison vs. A Local CompetitorNothing special, just something to back up Miz N’ Morrison’s words. Miz dominated, and got the pin following the Reality Check. Winner: The MizA video package airs promoting this week’s edition of SmackDown, which will feature a very big announcement by Mr. Kennedy. Four Way Elimination Qualifying Match
Finlay vs. Paul BurchillA superb match, and definitely the sleeper match of the night. Nobody was sure what to expect from these two, but they put on one of the best brawls in recent months. Both men went all out, at the match was full of stiff shots. Burchill attempted to hit his old finisher, the C-4, but Finlay countered with a brutal elbow, followed by multiple elbows which split Burchill open, and left him vulnerable for the Celtic Cross, giving Finlay the win. Winner: FinlayECW cuts backstage where the returning Evan Bourne is getting ready for his in ring return. His partner for tonight, Christian, walks up to him and welcomes him back. Bourne thanks him, and tells him that Evan Bourne & Christian vs. Jack Swagger & Mark HenryA great main event, and it was great seeing Bourne back in the ring again, he hasn’t lost a beat. The only real problem in this match was Henry, who while not doing much what he did do wasn’t that great. Christian really went for Swagger right from the start, and Swagger was too arrogant to realize he was about to get a beating. The match went back and forth, with the end coming when Swagger bailed out of the ring. Christian hit Henry with the Killswitch, and Bourne connected with the shooting star press for the win. Winners: Evan Bourne & ChristianECW comes to an with Christian raising Bourne’s arm in victory, and grinning at Swagger who backed up the ramp. |

-I like Christian opening the show with a promo -Decent opener and I'm so glad you went with Haas for MITB -Miz/HBK should be ok -I figured Finlay would win, but I hope Burchill does some good in this diary -Glad the faces won the main event and glad Swagger didn't get pinned Very good by ECW standards, wish I would've seen some Tyson Kidd though  |
