MONDAY, DECEMBER 14 | USA | 9/8 CTThe show begins with a highlights package from the action packed Tables, Ladders, and Chairs pay per view. The focus of the package is on the title changes that occured, specifically Sheamus's, before heading over to the usual opening video, which finished with a huge fireworks display that was followed up by gold lights over a slightly different stage, as Michael Cole put over that tonight was the 2009 Slammy Awards! He then puts over tonight's guest host, Dennis Miller, who welcomes the fans to the show and thanks them for being able to have the honour of being the host of the Slammy's tonight. He then cracks a few jokes which the audience isn't too receptive to, in fact recieving some boo's, before saying that tonight's first Slammy Award was for Tag Team Of The Year. He then introduced the hosts of the award, the Colon Brothers. The two make their way out seperately, the obvious tension from earlier in the year still obvious between the brothers. They manage to hold it together until the nominees (Cryme Tyme, D-Generation X, JeriShow, and The Legacy) are announced, at which point both brothers are throwing their arms in the air, obviously not imperessed that they were left off the nominees list despite being the men to unify the Tag Team Championships. They look at each other, deep in thought, before announcing the winner of the award, Chris Jericho and The Big Show! The Colon's stare down the losers of last night's main event, mouthing congratulations sarcastically. Jericho then says he and Big Show may have lost out in last night's main event against D-Generation X, but this is not the end of their run of dominance, that last night's loss was a mere blip and that they will only continue to be an unstoppable force in the WWE. He then takes the Slammy, and heads backstage, as a first commercial break comes in. Commercial BreakThe Slammy's return from a commercial break with the commentators Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler informing viewers who may have missed the previous night's Tables, Ladders and Chairs PPV that the WWE Universe was left in a state of shock by the huge upset Sheamus delivered to John Cena, where we saw Cena fly off the turnbuckle, through a table, and Sheamus be awarded the WWE Championship only six months into his WWE Career! The camera then cut by to Sheamus, who was backstage with Josh Matthews, who asked Sheamus how he felt, being the new WWE Champion. Sheamus said he knew it was his destiny to be the WWE Champion sooner rather than later, and promised to prove all the doubters wrong! At this point, Christian walked on the scene, ECW Championship clutched on his shoulder. He said that he had worked for his entire career to become a champion like he is now, 14 years now, but he had never been the WWE Champion, the top of the world. He says to Sheamus if he wants to prove he's a true champion, why doesn't he meet Christian out in the ring later tonight! Sheamus smiles smugly, saying Christian will not be a challenge for him, and that he should be glad he left ECW, because it may have been him and not John Cena who suffered at TLC last night! Christian laughs it off and walks away, as the action heads to the ring. United States Champion The Miz def. John Morrison in a non-title match. A solid contest to open the night, Miz took the win after ducking the Flying Chuck and nailing the Skull Crushing Finale.Commercial BreakThe commercials ended, and Dennis Miller was seen at the top of the stage again, introducing the hosts of the next award, Extreme Moment of the Year, which is hosted by Tommy Dreamer! Dreamer makes his way out to the podium to his usual pop, before announcing the nominees - Kofi Kingston’s Boom-drop on Randy Orton in Madison Square Garden, Big Show lights up John Cena at Backlash, R-Truth dumping cigarettes, drugs, whiskey and trash over CM Punk, and Triple H invading Randy Orton’s home. Dreamer then announced the winner was Kofi Kingston's Boom Drop, Kingston making his way out to the stage to collect the award. He thanks the fans for the votes, and looks to say more when he is ambushed by the Legacy! Legacy layed into Kofi with a lot of boots, until Tommy Dreamer threw them both off, telling them to back off, Dennis Miller then stepping in, making a tag team match for right now! A video package then plays hyping the Royal Rumble, before we head to a commercial break. Commercial BreakKofi Kingston and Tommy Dreamer defeated The Legacy.Despite The Legacy's assault, Kofi made a huge recovery and comeback, working with Tommy Dreamer well, connecting with Trouble in Paradise on Cody Rhodes to take the win.As Kingston and Dreamer celebrated the win, The Legacy rolled out, as Randy Orton was shown watching backstage on a monitor, keeping an eye on his rival Kingston. Then, D-Generation X appeared on screen, getting a huge pop as they changed attire colours on SmackDown! vs. RAW 2010, saying Big Show looks even bigger in yellow! Big Show and Jericho then walked in the room, saying that they may have had an off night last night, but tonight they'll get back on track, and a Unified Tag Team Championship win is the perfect way to do that, as they're cashing in their rematch clause! The two teams stared down, as the commentators hyped the 'Diva of the Year' being announced after the break! Commercial BreakThe Slammy's return with Dennis Miller at the podium, the host tonight not recieving the reception he expected, as he announced the next award would be the Diva of the Year as voted for by the WWE Universe! He then introduces the host for this award, record breaking diva Trish Stratus! Stratus gets a big pop as she makes her way out to the ring, thanking the fans for the good reception, before announcing the Diva of the Year as chosen by the WWE Universe was Maria! Maria makes her way out to the stage to a strong pop as usual, thanking the WWE Universe for the votes, only to be interrupted by Michelle McCool and Layla, SmackDown!'s resident 'Mean Girls' telling Maria that maybe she should concentrate on getting a decent meal down her instead of stealing awards from worthy winners such as themselves! Trish steps in, saying that McCool and Layla can't talk to people like that, saying all the divas are smart, sexy and powerful, and that they should treat each other as such! McCool laughs at Trish, saying she may have been any of those three at one point, but she's not powerful, she's not smart coming out here, and she's certainly NOT sexy any more! McCool then pushes Maria into Trish, knocking the two onto the floor before making a getaway! Backstage, The Colon's are seen talking, the two brothers both agreeing that they haven't had the best of luck since they fell out over the summer. Carlito says maybe he was wrong to blame Primo for all the title losses, Primo then asking his brother whether that's an apology, to which Carlito responds it is. The two brothers then hug, as it looks like The Colons are back together! WWE Champion Sheamus is then seen heading to the ring on a split screen with ECW Champion Christian, the commentators hyping a clash of the champions live at tonight's Slammy Awards after the break! Commercial BreakWWE Champion Sheamus def. ECW Champion ChristianIn possibly the best match up of Sheamus's WWE Career so far, the 'Celtic Warrior' got the win against the ECW Champion with a combination of the Brogue Kick and the Celtic Cross.Sheamus beat his chest before raising the WWE Championship high, putting a foot on Christian's chest as he did. Dennis Miller then announced it was time for the next award, the Breakout Star of the Year. He said that due to the fights that have broken out in the last two awards, he'll announce the nominees and winner himself. He announces the nominees first - Drew McIntyre, Eric Escobar, Sheamus, and Yoshi Tatsu - before announcing the winner to be the 'Celtic Warrior' Sheamus! Sheamus grabs the award, and despite being tired by his match, makes a speech, saying that unsurprisingly to him he is the winner, because he has done what he set out to do, change the landscape of the WWE by becoming WWE Champion! He then raises the Slammy and the WWE Championship up high, as the commentators hype the award for Shocker of the Year will be announced after the break! Commercial BreakMr. McMahon makes his way out after the break, the Chairman of the WWE here to present an award at the prestigious Slammy's! He hypes up how big the Slammy's are in the WWE Universe, saying that the Slammy's are to WWE Superstars and Divas what the Academy Awards are to the world of acting, and Grammy's are to musician's. He then announces the nominees for Shocker of the Year - Jeff Hardy's shocking exit from the WWE, Batista turning on Rey Mysterio, Edge's injury while one half of the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions, and JBL quitting the WWE at the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania. He then says the winner is Edge's injury while one half of the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions, to which Chris Jericho comes out to accept, saying that he's glad that Edge got injured, because it got that 'pathetic sap' out of the way, and allowed he and The Big Show to become the most dominant tag team in the WWE. McMahon then congratulates Jericho on his earlier Slammy win, and wishes him luck tonight. McMahon stays on stage however, saying that he has something to announce that could well be an early nomination for next year's Slammy Award for Shocker of the Year, because on the first Monday Night RAW in 2010, the WWE Universe will witness the return of Bret 'The Hitman' Hart after a twelve year absence! The crowd explodes at this announcement, Cole and 'King' speechless at the announce desk, as a 'Don't Try This At Home' advert plays, before commercials come in. Commercial BreakD-Generation X's theme plays as the Slammy's return from the break, with Dennis Miller annoucning that Triple H was coming out to announce the winner of the next award, Match of the Year. Triple H thanks Miller for the introduction, before running down the nominees - Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker from the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania, Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio at The Bash, CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy in a TLC Match at Summerslam and John Cena vs. Randy Orton in an Ironman Match at Braging Rights. Triple H then happily announces that the winner of the award is Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker at the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania! Shawn Michaels then comes out to accept the award, saying he and 'Taker stole the show this year, and he thanks the WWE Universe for recognising this! He then says he is looking forward to seeing Bret Hart in two weeks on Monday Night RAW, and begins to walk away from the podium, but he then oes back to the podium, saying that if The Undertaker was willing, he'd love to try and steal the show again! The crowd pops at this idea, as Triple H drags Shawn backstage! Then, on a split screen, Randy Orton and John Cena were shown walking down corridors towards the ring, the 'first round' of the Superstar of the Year tournament beginning after the break! Commercial BreakJohn Cena def. Randy Orton to advance in the Superstar of the Year tournament.The most heated rivalry of the year was reborn here as Cena and Orton clashed once more, with Cena once again coming out on top after connecting with the AA.Cena celebrates the win, shouting he would be Superstar of the Year, as the camera heads backstage, where CM Punk with his 'Soldier of Straight Edge' Luke Gallows is preparing for his match in the Superstar of the Year tournament, as he'll be facing past rival The Undertaker after the break. Also backstage, Chris Jericho is stretching with The Big Show, as a banged up Christian walks into the room sipping water and wiping his face with a towel, holding his neck. Christian says Jericho was out of order speakin about Edge like that earlier tonight, and if he hears him behave like that again where Edge is concerned, he'll make it his duty to kick his ass. Jericho laughs off Christian's threat, saying he's even more of a joke than Edge! Christian looks ready to lay into Jericho with his fists, but he looks at Big Show and walks away, as commercials come in. Commercial BreakCM Punk def. World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker to advance in the Superstar of the Year tournament.CM Punk was losing this one, but Batista charged down to the ring, taking out the 'Phenom' with a Spinebuster while the referee's back was turned, allowing Punk to regroup and nail the GTS for the win.Punk rolled out of the ring, celebrating as if he had won the tournament and not just one of the two matches needed, as Batista knelt over The Undertaker who was writhing in pain, Batista shouting in his face that he was screwed last night! Backstage, Randy Orton was in a fit of rage, Legacy trying to calm him down but Orton striking out at them, saying he should have beaten Cena tonight! Kofi Kingston then walked into the locker room, saying that he feels Randy's pain, because he lost a match he should've won last night against Orton! Orton says Kofi isn't on his level and he'll prove it again next week in a one on one encounter! Kingston smiles, saying that's just what he wanted to hear, as the commentators hyped John Cena would battle CM Punk at the end of the end of the night for the right to be Superstar of the Year, but after the break, D-Generation X battle Chris Jericho and The Big Show with the Unified WWE Tag Team Championships on the line! Commercial BreakD-Generation X def. Chris Jericho & The Big Show to retain the Unified Tag Team Championships.A combination of Sweet Chin Music and the Pedigree on Chris Jericho kept the titles for D-Generation X.Big Show comically dragged a KO'd Jericho out of the ring before slinging him over his shoulder, shaking his head the entire time, as DX crotch chop'd in their direction, raising the Unified WWE Tag Team Championships high after doing so, the commentators hyping the Superstar of the Year being announced after the break! Commercial BreakCM Punk def. John Cena to become Superstar of the Year.CM Punk was again looking like losing out, but another assault on his opponent, this time a Brogue Kick from Sheamus to Cena, allowed Punk to pin and take the WWE's most prestigious Slammy award.Punk quickly rolled out of the ring, bouncing up and down as Dennis Miller handed him the Slammy, Gallows high fiving Punk and congratulating him! Sheamus stood in the center of the ring, as John Cena clutched his head, as Sheamus raised up the WWE Championship, the newest star in the WWE having made his mark over two of the WWE's biggest stars tonight, the camera panning in on CM Punk after focusing on Sheamus, Punk raising up his Slammy while on the shoulders of Gallows to close the 2009 edition of the Slammy Award's.

WWE RAW: Monday 14th December 2009...Ah, the Slammy Awards. I hated this show/series because it made RAW so clustered and uninteresting/unwatchable for three hours a year. The Tag Team of the Year award opening is so bizarre, and plain promo from Chris Jericho and Big Show, not sure how long or how much more you will get out of Jerishow. They're nearly up there with teams that have done it all and have no purpose but are holding back talents. Why don't Jerishow just cash in their rematch clause anyway? The Miz beating John Morrison was a good match, not too bad at all I found it. I wish Morrison had the win though, I get that Miz is WWE United States Champion and all, but Morrison should look more even to Miz. I don't understand why R-Truth and CM Punk were involved in the Extreme Moment of the Year moment. Kofi Kingston and Matt Hardy beating the Legacy didn't do a lot. The Legacy need to look stronger really, if they are to disband and feud [if you go that way in 2010]. Didn't quite need Tommy Dreamer's help. I wonder if you choose to 'retire' Dreamer. Would be of best interest really. Liked the SmackDown vs RAW 2010 promotion skit with DX and Jerishow. Good use of the rematch clause. Maria does NOT deserve the Diva of the Year award. Bad call, should have been changed. Glad that Laycool interrupted them. Liked Trish Stratus' cameo. Michelle McCool and Stratus at WrestleMania XXVI would be brilliant. Primo and Carlito's promo was odd. Don't like them returning to being a team so quickly. Lower midcard at best at this point really. Sheamus beating Christian is fair, makes Sheamus look stronger but should have featured some ECW storyline. Made Christian look weak at the same time. I hope Sheamus as WWE Champion leads to him actually main eventing RAW in a singles match. He was never given a chance. Sheamus then winning the Breakout Star award is fine. Really should have had John Cena involved. Lack of build after the controversial finish at TLC the night before. Edge's injury whilst WWE Unified Tag Team Champion won? That's dire. These award decisions are awful. Didn't need another Jericho appearance. Bret Hart returning as announced here is brilliant. Predicted that Shawn Michaels and Undertaker would win Match of the Year. Glad you hinted a rematch. Don't go for DX vs Bret Hart and the Hart Dynasty headed into WrestleMania: that would suck on many levels. I hate how John Cena and Randy Orton fought on this actual show after their 'Final Encounter' match they had at Bragging Rights. It really didn't need to happen. No mention of Cena losing the WWE title last night annoys me. Why is the Superstar of the Year award more important all of a sudden? You should have moved the Slammys for a week after this show. There is zero continuity after last night and I hate it. CM Punk and Undertaker & Orton and Cena should have definitely been more split apart throughout the THREE hours. Not back to back. Especially when the winners have to fight again after a heated semi-final match. And with DX and Jerishow in between. Bad ordering and booking on the show. CM Punk winning the Superstar of the Year award is great, attack by Sheamus wasn't needed. Cena should have provoked Sheamus first, really. Overall, decent show, but A LOT of problems. It's hard to book a Slammys show, because they utterly suck, but I expected so much better if I'm honest. More references to last night's TLC pay-per-view would have been nice. Also more emphasis on superstars that didn't do much at all on the show. I hope you write WWE Superstars shows like this, rather than tiny list results before RAW/ECW/SmackDown. This still has a lot of potential.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15 | SYFY | 9/8 CTECW opens with a video package highlighting the epic clash between Shelton Benjamin and Christian at WWE:TLC in a Ladder Match for the ECW Championship. The package ends with Christian retrieving the Championship, before fading into the opening package of ECW on SyFy. The show then opens with the commentary team of Josh Matthews and Byron Saxton welcoming the fans to another exciting edition of ECW on SyFy, saying that they have no idea what could possibly be in store after ECW's Superstars arguably stole the show Sunday night! Christian's theme song then plays, and he makes his way out, the longest reigning champion in the WWE getting a great reaction from the crowd. Christian starts by saying he feels very banged up from the last two night's of action, but he's ready to keep on doing what he does he best, defend the ECW Championship! This brings out long time rival William Regal, who brings out his monsters who can't get along, Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov with him. He says Shelton Benjamin had his chance, so now it's his turn to challenge Christian again. Christian says it's exactly that, him challenging again, so he doesn't deserve another chance! Kozlov and Jackson then look at each other, before arguing, saying they both deserve a chance at the ECW Championship! ECW General Manager Tiffany then makes her way out, and says that if these two men all want a chance at the ECW Championship, they can fight for it later tonight! The fans pop at the announcement, as Christian looks intrigued, the first part of ECW coming to an end. Commercial Break'The Ripper' (w/ 'The Beautiful Nightmare') def. The Hurricane to earn an ECW Contract.In a match arranged last week, now with the addition of an ECW contract, 'The Ripper' came out on top with a Curb Stomp.'The Ripper' then celebrated with 'The Beautiful Nightmare', before ripping off his mask, revealing himself to unsurprisingly be Paul Burchill. He then pulled off the mask of the 'Beautiful Nightmare' to reveal her to be Katie Lea, and then said that there was one more mask that needed to be revealed, before pulling at Hurricane's mask ready to pull it off. However, then Goldust ran down to the ring, and assaulted Burchill, taking him out of the ring, the veteran of the ECW protecting the identity of his friend, The Hurricane! The camera then went backstage, where Zack Ryder was talking to his girlfriend Rosa Mendes, 'Long Island Iced Z' bragging about how he would take out Tommy Dreamer after the break! Commercial BreakCaylen Croft and Trent Baretta def. Local CompetitorsAnother impressive victory for the newcomers to ECW here as they came out on top with a inverted atomic drop and running high knee double team move.As the newest Superstars on ECW celebrated the victory, the camera went backstage where Dreamer was finishing taping his wrists, moving his neck back and forth as he was ready for his next match up, the 'Heart and Soul of ECW' taking on Zack Ryder in a one on one next! This fades into a 'Don't Try This At Home' package, before ECW returns. Tommy Dreamer def. Zack Ryder (w/ Rosa Mendes)Dreamer and Ryder went back and forth in an decent bout here but Dreamer snuck out a win with the Dreamer DDT.Commercial BreakEzekiel Jackson def. Vladimir Kozlov to earn #1 Contendership to the ECW Championship.Kozlov had been spoiling for this fight for a long time, but Jackson proved too much for him, and the Guayanese Goliath beat Kozlov with the Book of Ezekiel. Christian stood up from the announce desk where he had been sat, the reigning ECW Champion showing he would not be backing down from the fight! William Regal then made his way out to the ring, climbing in the ring and booting Kozlov in the ribs, Jackson joining in the beat down until Christian came in the ring, at which point Jackson and Regal directed their attention to him, Christian not quite managing against the odds! However, help was on the way, as Shelton Benjamin, steel chair in hand, rushed down to the ring, and chased off Jackson and Regal, and helped up Kozlov and Christian, standing by the two's side to stare down Regal and the new #1 contender to the ECW Championship to close the show. WWE2009.

Was a big fan of ECW at this time. I hope you do something with Paul Burchill now that he's back ont he roster. A Christian/Burchill feud down the line would be great. the Ryder/Dreamer series of matches entertained me when they were on TV, hope their series of matches continue Shame Dudebusters arn't still around together today, both of them are good workers. Zeke/Christian was good at the rumble, in real life so I'm glad you're going down the same route.

ECW on SyFy: Tuesday 15th December 2009...Would be nice to see ECW continue after February if I'm honest. Christian's promo was quite nice, like how we now have the Ruthless Roundtable seemingly disbanding as Ezekiel Jackson faces Vladimir Kozlov for an ECW Championship opportunity. Really hope that Zeke has the win. The Ripper beating the Hurricane is a pretty fair opening contest to the show, would have had a Regal or Christian match though, perfect nature for ECW at this time to have the opening contest feature a main eventing ECW star involved in the opening promo to have the first match. Would have preferred Hurricane though, why does Paul Burchill and the Beautiful Nightmare need contracts? Goldust making the save for Hurricane does make sense. Where is Yoshi Tatsu in this? Those two were seperated at the hip in this area of time. Trent Barreta and Caylen Croft with a win is fine. Wish you would have named the Local Competitors. Love how you note that they aren't the Dudebusters yet. Tommy Dreamer beating Zack Ryder would have been more worthy opening really, glad Dreamer got the win. Assuming you aren't aiming for Dreamer retiring then. Ezekiel Jackson with the win is for the best. Shocked by William Regal turning on Kozlov. Just keep Kozlov relevant. Shelton Benjamin making the save is nice. I hope we see Zeke and Christian face off at the final ECW of 2009. Would be a good idea, something big to close out the year if not Dreamer's retirement. A decent episode overall, few corrections I'd have made. Dislike you using red for ECW though, considering that red is already RAW's trademark colour. You tried using the HEX Coding system? That could help you out a lot.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18 | MYNETWORKTV | 8/7 CTThe show begins with a highlights package from the action packed Tables, Ladders, and Chairs pay per view. The focus of the package is on the title matches of SmackDown!, with Drew McIntyre's Intercontinental Championship win being put over as a big deal, and the 'screwing' of Batista being mentioned over highlights of the match, and then over the recap of the Slammy's where he assaulted The Undertaker! This package ends and the camera fades into the usual opening video for SmackDown!, before Todd Grisham and Matt Striker welcome the fans to the show. They mention the controversy over the end of WWE:TLC's World Heavyweight Championship match, the beginning of Drew McIntyre's Intercontinental Championship reign, and Rey Mysterio being out of action once more thanks to Batista's vicious assault in a street fight last week. Batista then makes his way out to the ring to a strong chorus of boo's from the crowd. Batista says that WWE:TLC was the site of yet another screwjob in the reign of Theodore Long as the General Manager of SmackDown!, and thanks to his interfering in a match, the single best talent on any of the WWE's brands, Batista, was cost another World Heavyweight Championship reign that would've been good for both his resume, and the ratings! He says that if Long had any sense, he'd come out here right now and right his wrong, and award him the World Heavyweight Championship! Theodore Long then makes his way out, and says there was no screwjob on Sunday, and there'll be no rematches for Batista! The Chairman of the WWE, Mr. McMahon, then makes his way out, and reminds Long that he IS on probation. Long then looks around nervously, and takes back his decision, however, he says there is a stipulation. Batista MUST defeat The Undertaker's brother Kane to earn a shot at the gold, and should he win, the match will be a Last Man Standing match! The crowd pops, Batista infuriated that he has to earn his shot, as SmackDown!'s first break comes in! Commercial BreakR-Truth def. Luke Gallows (w/ CM Punk). Good way to open up tonight's show, with Truth taking the win with the Lie Detector.Punk threw a fit at ringside as R-Truth celebrated the victory with the fans, who were clearly pleased to see Gallows felled by the rapping Superstar! Punk was just the opposite however, throwing a fit about Gallows loss, berating him as he climbed into the ring. Backstage, Mr. McMahon bumps into the Hart Dynasty; the tension between him and the team of Hart Dungeon graduates evident. McMahon says he invited their uncle Bret Hart to RAW on January the 4th to try and bury the hatchet, and he hopes that Bret accepts! He then says he's going to make another step towards making amends by giving the Hart Dynasty a shot at the Unified WWE Tag Team Championships on next week's SmackDown! The Hart Dynasty smiles at each other, and thanks McMahon for the chance; McMahon then walks away, wishing the threesome luck tonight and next week, the Hart Dynasty look at each other puzzled as to whether McMahon was being sincere or not as a commercials begin. Commercial BreakBackstage, Matt Hardy is seen walking alone towards the coffee machine, and upon reaching it, begins to make himself a coffee. Chris Jericho then walks up to him alone, The Big Show no longer allowed to visit SmackDown! as he isn't a Tag Team Champion, saying that there was once a time when Matt was a respected competitor of the tag team division, much like Chris Jericho is now. Matt nods his head, saying the impact the Hardys made on Tag Team wrestling has gone down in history for sure. Jericho laughs, saying Matt is mis-guided if that's what he thinks! Matt crushes his coffee cup, and says that if Jericho thinks one slammy makes him a better tag team wrestler than him, he's the one who is sorely mistaken. Matt then says that if Jericho wants a real tag team test, he can meet him in the ring with a partner later tonight! Jericho smiles, looking forward to the challenge as the camera returns to the arena. The Hart Dynasty (w/ Natalya) def. Cryme Tyme.The Hart Dynasty used the Hart Attack to take the win over frequent rivals Cryme Tyme; pinning JTG following the move.Commercial BreakThe theme of Michelle McCool plays as SmackDown! returns from a break, the Womens Champion making her way out to the ring with her friend Layla. Michelle says on Sunday, she proved she was the most dominant diva in the WWE today, to which Layla pipes in she means herself and Layla, which Michelle agrees with. Michelle then continues, saying Piggie went to market, but forgot her purse, meaning she had to go all the way home, crying the entire time. She continues to mock Mickie James, saying that she feels slightly bad that she had to beat so mean and crush her hopes and dreams, so she bought her a nice present. Layla then leaves the ring and heads backstage, before wheeling out a huge Cake in the shape of a pig with Mickie James face stuck to it. Michelle says that it's a really yummy cake, and that she would have some, but she knows Piggie doesn't like to share, so she won't have any! Mickie James then makes her way out to the ring, looking quite emotional, grabbing a microphone of her own, saying that LayCool better apologise for this now, or they'll live to regret it. LayCool laugh, with Michelle saying what is Mickie going to do about it, because she proved on Sunday that she wasn't as good as as her, Layla piping in that Mickie couldn't beat her either. Mickie says that they got lucky on Sunday, and says if she got another chance, she could prove she could be Womens Champion, but LayCool just laugh at her, telling her to keep dreaming, this pushing Mickie over the edge as she divas at Layla, Thesz Press'ing her to the ground! Michelle McCool pulls Mickie off, and the two divas stomp on Mickie, before Layla asks Mickie if she wants a slice of cake, before throwing the entire cake on her to a shocked gasp from the crowd! LayCool then make a quick getaway from the ring, leaving ringside and heading backstage, as Mickie sits up in the ring, crying as she is covered in cake. Chris Jericho is then seen backstage, saying it's good to have such a strong partner for tonight's tag team match! Mike Knox is then seen on screen, making a small smile, these two calculating individuals obviously partners for tonight's match which is up next! Commercial BreakMatt Hardy and The Great Khali def. Chris Jericho and Mike Knox.Hardy took what some would call a shocking win over Jericho here when Jericho was pinned after Khali's powerful Punjabi Plunge was followed up with the Twist of Fate!Hardy and Khali danced to Khali's theme which they requested be played following the win as the camera went backstage, where a downtrodden Mickie James was being comforted and cleaned up by Maria. Maria says LayCool are just bullies, and that Mickie shouldn't listen to them, she should keep her chin up, because all the divas are as sexy, smart and powerful as each other! Mickie thanks Maria for the support, but says that LayCool are really getting her down. Beth Phoenix then walks in the room and laughs at Mickie, telling her to find the heart she had when they battled in 2008, saying she never gave up her quest to be Womens Champion then, so why is she now! Mickie smiles, and says Beth is right, vowing to go after the Womens Championship once more as a commercial comes in. Commercial Break As SmackDown! returns, Punk is still continuing his verbal tirade against Gallows in the locker room, running him down for his loss, saying a Straight Edge Superstar should be able to beat the 'R-Truth's of this world' with no trouble. Punk continues, saying if Gallows ever wants to dream of being Superstar of the Year like CM Punk is, he better get his act together! Truth walked in at this moment, saying if Punk is such a great success and a true winner of the 'Superstar of the Year' award, he won't mind a rubber match next week on SmackDown! to settle their feud. Punk says that match will be 'no bother' for him, and says Truth better get ready the entire week if he wants a chance of winning! Truth laughs at Punk, saying whatever, leaving the locker room as the camera heads back to the arena. In the arena, Drew McIntyre is making his way to the ring, looking very smug in a sharp suit with the Intercontinental Championship tucked under his arm. He grabs a microphone, and says that he told everyone that he was the 'Chosen One', and that he is on the way to fufilling his destiny, to become the next World Heavyweight Champion. He says John Morrison was just what he expected him to be, a stepping stone on his way to greatness, and that now he's proved himself to be a championship contender, anyone who dares to step in his way will be crushed by him! Morrison then makes his way out to the ring, saying that McIntyre ot very lucky at WWE:TLC, and that had Drew not cheated with a rake to the eyes, he wouldn't be the Intercontinental Champion! Morrison continues, saying that he wants to cash in his rematch clause, but McIntyre blindsides him before he can say when! Morrison, downed by a shot from the microphone, holds his head in pain, before being dragged to his feet by his hair, and nailed with the Scot Drop! McIntyre then walked away, heading backstage after shocking the WWE Universe with this vicious assault, the new Intercontinental Champion's mean streak very evident! The camera then heads backstage, where it is following the couple of Eric Escobar and Vickie Guerrero, the relationship between these two souring very quickly! The commentators hype that Escobar is in action next! Commercial BreakDolph Ziggler def. Eric EscobarZiggler nailed the Zig-Zag after Vickie Guerrero distracted Escobar by complaining about his performance, leaving him prone to Ziggler's finisher.After the match, Vickie shakes her head at Escobar again, before looking at Ziggler, raising his hand up as the winner, Ziggler looking confused and interested by this move, as the commentators hype the main event of Kane vs. Batista after the break! Commercial BreakBatista def. Kane to earn #1 Contendership to the World Heavyweight Championship.Despite Undertaker trying to will his brother to win before the break, Kane was unable to win out against Batista's new aggressive attitude, Batista managing to lift Kane for a Batista Bomb to end the contest.Batista celebrated smugly over Kane as the night ended, having earned the right to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Last Man Standing match! As he was raising the fists up, the lights dimmed, the GONG! sounded out, and Kane dissapeared, but The Undertaker appeared! Taker grabbed Batista by the neck, and went for a chokeslam, but Batista fought back, booting Taker in the ribs before nailing a spinebuster! Batista then rolled out the ring and grabbed a chair, striking Undertaker with it several times across his back, till the Phenom was down! Batista then counted to 10, before shouting he'd be the new World Heavyweight Champion to close the show! WWE2009.

WWE Superstars: Thursday 17th December 2009...Love how you're doing the show individually. I'd have still noted of the segments seen in between matches if I'm honest, would have made the show look a little lengthier, but not too much. Jack Swagger beating MVP was a solid opening contest, would have rather it main evented after their summer feud. Vance Archer beating Yoshi Tatsu is cool I suppose, don't see Vance going anywhere major with that look/finisher. Charlie Haas returning to television is cool, nice win against Jimmy Wang Yang. The World's Greatest Wrestler sounds like a good gimmick name, but I highly doubt it will go far. The gimmick in real life would poor the sh*t out of me. Mark Henry and Chris Masters had a decent main event, would have switched the match positions of Henry/Masters and Swagger/MVP though. Pretty solid week for Superstars.
WWE SmackDown: Friday 18th December 2009...Batista opening the show is cool, pretty good promo from him and mentioning the screwjob by Theodore Long. That match at Tables, Ladders and Chairs was awful, and that finish made things worse. I love that you are making sure that SmackDown is still very watchable and interesting over Christmas and New Years, but I think you made it obvious that Kane would lose to Batista tonight, leading to the epic Last Man Standing match for the World Heavyweight Championship next week. I wouldn't mind at all if Batista won the belt, Undertaker's served his purpose as champ, for the shock factor, I'd love to see Batista as World Champion. He's basically THE guy to build around in this time period too, please impress me and do it. R-Truth and Luke Gallows is a slightly weak way to kick off the show, but it's a fine one I suppose. Wish Gallows won with help from CM Punk though. The Straight Edge Society to me currently isn't looking impressive. I'd like you to bring in a third male member if I'm honest, to perhaps team with Gallows (that isn't Joey Mercury) but I wouldn't mind if you didn't and kept Serena. Looks good how you're giving hype to Mr McMahon burying the hatchet with Bret Hart, but I see McMahon turning on Bret being a lot more obvious then. Not sure about how DX and Hart Dynasty's match next week, Triple H and Shawn Michaels better retain...if you go down the Hart Dynasty vs DX with McMaon and Bret involved headed into WrestleMania, I will not be happy. Chris Jericho going off on a solo run from Big Show could be nice, saying this because if Show can't visit SmackDown, Jericho can't visit RAW. Matt Hardy calling him out to a tag match? Unsure how this will work. Who has Matt got exactly? The Hart Dynasty needed momentum before facing DX next week, good win against Cryme Tyme in their 103rd match since the Draft last Spring. Laycool having a promo is great, build for Mickie James' feud with them. Insert Beth Phoenix in there at some point and it's golden. Hands down the best divas feud I've seen in years. Hardy and Great Khali...oh yeah, I remember they had a mini-team going around this time. Hate Jericho and Mike Knox...bad utility with Knox as a partner. Also wish that Knox had been destroyed and pinned before Jericho's own eyes, but I guess it keeps Knox relevant. Maria and Mickie's segment was cool. Phoenix there as well is nice. Hope Punk wins against R-Truth. The SES needs all the moment they can get right now. Drew McIntyre's promo was nicely done, looking forward to a rematch between John Morrison and McIntyre for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, but it looks like you're building too many superking matches for next week's episode. Save this match for the New Year episode of SmackDown. Dolph Ziggler with a win I'm glad about. I think Eric Escobar had been released for like a month prior to this though. If I recall correctly. If not, release Escobar. What an awful disappointment of a developmental star that had been in FCW for years. Batista winning was so predictable a main event. 'Taker and Batista brawl is a nice way to close the show, pretty good episode, a few good things prepared for next week.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 21 | USA NETWORK | 9/8 CTRAW opened this week with a highlights package reminding us of the winners of each Slammy Award, focusing especially on the events that occured during the 'Superstar of the Year', with Randy Orton failing to beat John Cena, and the resulting match made afterwards between himself and Kofi Kingston for tonight, and WWE Champion Sheamus costing John Cena the 'Superstar of the Year' award in a match against CM Punk by nailing him with the Brogue Kick. The usual RAW opening package then played followed by the usual pyrotechnics display, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler's voices welcoming the WWE Universe to the show! John Cena's theme then hits, Cena coming out as usual to a huge reaction; albeit mixed. Coming down to the ring clad in orange, Cena grabs a microphone, and immediately says that he's here to talk about Sheamus, because 'love him or hate him, he knows how to make an impact'. He runs down how Sheamus, in just two nights last week, managed to take from Cena of two things he had worked so hard for: the WWE Championship, and the Superstar of the Year Slammy award. Cena is about to carry on when Sheamus emerges, getting his biggest heat yet, with the 'Celtic Warrior' saying that John Cena isn't half the Superstar he is, and that he will prove it during his reign as WWE Champion. Cena says that he's been on top as long as some of the all time greats of the WWE were, like Steve Austin and Bret Hart, and he's not going to be knocked off by some chump who looks like a jar of mayonnaise! Sheamus is annoyed by Cena's comments, and says that he can throw as many insults as he can at him, but it doesn't change the fact that he is the WWE Champion and Cena, Cena is nothing anymore. Cena says he is something, the former WWE Champion, and he's going to give these fans a holiday season treat, because he's cashing in his rematch clause tonight! Sheamus looks outraged, saying he's not prepared for this, but Cena says that Sheamus 'won't be prepared for this either' and picks up the reigning WWE Champion and drops him with an Attitude Adjustment; Cena standing tall to start this edition of Monday Night RAW! Commercial BreakThe Colons def. The LegacyThe Colon brothers seem to be back together on Monday nights after hugging it out last week. Carlito hit the Backstabber on Ted DiBiase to take the win in this one.The Colon Brothers, completely on the same page once more, as backstage in the interview area, Kofi Kingston is standing by with Josh Matthews. Matthews asks Kingston how he feels about his match later tonight with Randy Orton, with Kingston responding that tonight, he will take home one of the biggest victories of his career when he devenoms 'The Viper' Randy Orton, and sets himself on course to his dream in 2010 - winning the WWE Championship! The crowd pop at Kofi's revelation, as the commentators hype an exciting Fatal Four Way to name the new #1 Contender to the United States Championship after the break. Commercial BreakSantino Marella def. Chris Masters, Jack Swagger and MVP to become the new #1 Contender to the United States Championship. As MVP and Jack Swagger were brawling on the outside, Santino caught a distracted and wanting in on the action Chris Masters with a roll up to take the shocking three count!United States Champion The Miz laughed off Santino's shock win, saying that he would need another 'miracle' if he wanted to beat him next week for the title, saying it'll be like a late Christmas present being able to beat Santino so easily. Santino did his trademark trumpet celebration, the fans behind him, as the commentators hyped Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton's battle after the break! Commercial BreakKofi Kingston def. Randy OrtonAn excellent back and forth bout that really made Kofi look good, with Kingston managing to come out on top after blocking the RKO attempt and hitting Trouble in Paradise.Kofi celebrated, bouncing up and down, before resting over a fallen Orton, and slowly making his 'Boom, Boom, Boom!' Thunderclap gesture over him. He then heads to the back, as the commentators put over his win huge, as well as mention Sheamus and John Cena should keep an eye on Kofi Kingston as he's one of the faster rising stars in the WWE. Cole and King also hype an appearance from RAW Guest Host Johnny Damon after the break! Commercial BreakRAW returns with Guest Host Johnny Damon being introduced, the Baseball star making his way out to the ring with a microphone in hand. Before he can speak, a man in a tiger suit charges past, followed by a blonde haired woman. Damon cracks a joke, saying that's why he's glad he plays baseball, before saying as it's Christmas week, he has a nice surprise for the WWE Universe, an appearance from Santa later tonight! He then introduces the 'sexy, smart and powerful' WWE Divas, who are dressed for a special 'Santa's little helpers' tag team match! Eve, Kelly Kelly and Divas Champion Melina def. Alicia Fox, Jillian and MaryseMelina pinned Jillian here with following the Last Call to take the win for her team.The action then heads backstage, where Josh Matthews is seen running after Santino Marella, the new #1 Contender to the United States Championship. Matthews is just catching up with him when Santino is blindsided by The Miz with a shot to the head from the United States Championship belt. Santino is out cold on the concrete, and Miz is seen smiling sadistically, before demanding the microphone from Josh Matthews, saying that if Santino even thinks he has a chance of winning the United States Championship from him next week, he's got another thing coming! He then heads off, as commercials come in. Commercial BreakRAW returns, with some Christmas Music and faux snow falling from the ceiling, as Santa Claus has made an appearance on Monday Night RAW! He hands out presents to all the fans in the front row, all of which are wrapped up, before climbing into the ring and grabbing a microphone. He says he is here to speak to some lucky WWE Superstars who he will judge as to whether they have been naughty or nice. He brings out a number of Superstars, such as Chavo Guerrero and Yoshi Tatsu for comedic value, before The Big Show makes an appearance. He says he's tried to be good this year, and he knows he's done some naughty things, like getting with Vickie Guerrero, and throwing John Cena into a spotlight, but all he wants now for Christmas is his friend Chris Jericho back on RAW. Just then, D-Generation X's theme plays, and the two made their way out with Hornswoggle, their personal mascot. Triple H starts, by saying that he thought something wasn't quite right, but he wasn't sure til The Big Show came out. Shawn Michaels said he knows for sure that Santa isn't a Canadian! Then, Santa stands up, throwing a fit and saying that DX are the naughtiest people of all, but as he is about to get physical with them, Hornswoggle low blows him! Then, Big Show swings at Hornswoggle, taking him down, as DX begin to brawl with the World's Largest Athlete, 'Santa' pulling off his beard to reveal himself as Chris Jericho! The 2009 Tag Team of the Year battle with the reigning Unified Tag Teams Champions, who manage to come out on top when Shawn Michaels knocks Jericho out with Sweet Chin Music! Big Show pulls out his tag team partner and heads backstage, holding him up as Jericho spouts off about how this isn't the end of their battles with DX as commercials come in. Commercial BreakAs RAW returns from commercials, Jericho is backstage with Big Show in the locker room area, throwing a fit about how he, along with Big Show, is the WWE's most valuable asset, and he should be allowed to compete on any show he pleases. Jericho admits he tried to move on without Show, but the chemistry they have as a team is just undeniable, and that he is being held back from being the Hall of Fame standard Superstar he is. Show agrees, saying that if there was a General Manager on RAW, this wouldn't happen, but instead there is these Guest Host's who just come and go as they please, potentially ruining superstars careers with their judgments! Jericho agrees, and says he's going to talk to Vince McMahon next week about this, Show nodding his head and saying he'll be there with him! Then, the camera returns to the arena, and John Cena makes his way out to the ring, the orange clad superstar grabbing a microphone and saying Sheamus' shock factor has worn off, and it's time for the snowflake to melt, and Cena take back what's his, the WWE Championship! The WWE Champion, The Celtic Warrior, Sheamus then makes his way out to the ring for the main event title match! WWE Champion Sheamus def. John Cena to retain the WWE ChampionshipSheamus finally silenced his critics in this two part contest, as he convincingly put away John Cena following two Brogue Kick's and the Celtic Cross.Sheamus was handed his WWE Championship, the Celtic Warrior raising it up above his head having convinced many non-believers here that he is the real deal, putting a foot on the chest of John Cena just like at WWE:TLC, with this being the picture to end the Christmas week edition of Monday Night RAW. WWE2009.

RAW: Been looking forward to reading this, as you are one of the more underrated writers on the board Shifty. Here goes nothing...Cena/Sheamus segment definitely gets me fired up for the episode. Don't put the belt back on Cena...please don't. Colons push? Alright. Kofi as World Champ? Eh, I don't buy it. SANTINO? What a shocker! Definitely enjoy a shake up. Why do I see Santino taking the gold for some reason? Holy moly! Kofi over Orton cleanly is huge and surprising. Santa better be Goldust. Faces over heels in the divas match...never cared for women's wrestling but it does the job. Nice heel tactics by Miz and unsuspecting. I dig it definitely. Nice segment with Jericho as Santa. I'm sure something similar happened, but it was still a nice read. Wow. Sheamus over clean? Now this I like for two reasons. 1) Sheamus is definitely over now. 2) Cena has a major obstacle to climb and to finally beat Sheamus. Looking forward to see where you go from here.

WWE RAW: Monday 21st December 2009...John Cena opening up the show is good, nice challenge to Sheamus, but it seems very likely that Sheamus will retain the WWE Championship. Packed week this week, with the World Heavyweight Championship also at stake this week. Primo and Carlito beating The Legacy...don't like it. Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes have lost twice in two weeks, and are looking very weak for the protegés of main eventer Randy Orton. I guess it put over the Colóns though. Santino Marella with the win is an interesting one. Logically if this was a fatal four-way to determine a number one contender to the WWE United States Championship, it would definitely open up, with two entrances during the commercial break. Four way matches are rare these days. Like Marella with the win, but he isn't going to beat the Miz. Masters would be a good threat to Miz's title though. Kofi Kingston beating Randy Orton was a surprise, I feel it should have been built more. I feel Orton needs to win the feud to retain his overness though. Using the Guest Host, Johnny Damon to prepare a divas Santa's Little Helper match is pretty wise. The Guest Host concept is pointless now. Eve, Kelly Kelly and Melina winning was the right call against Alicia Fox, Jillian and Maryse. DX and Santa Claus was pretty cool. Did like Jerishow's involvement too. Well written segment too. Don't like you considering the removal of Guest Hosts at all. It'd be better to fade the role out rather than make storyline notice. Sheamus with the win against Cena gains overness, and Sheamus now looks a little more powerful. Expected someone to confront Sheamus after the match though honestly. Overall a pretty decent episode.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22 | SYFY | 9/8 CTThis week's edition of ECW kicked off with the usual video package followed by a huge pyrotechnics display, Josh Matthews and Byron Saxton welcoming all the WWE Universe to ECW on SyFy! Matthews hyped up the new #1 Contender Ezekiel Jackson would be in action tonight against Shelton Benjamin in ECW's Main Event, but now, we kick off with the ECW Champion Christian in action! ECW Champion Christian def. Vance Archer in a non-title match.The commentators put this over as Christan getting in some practice against bigger opponents, with the ECW Champion getting the three with the Killswitch.Commercial BreakECW returns with Paul Burchill backstage with William Regal, Burchill saying to Regal how good it is to be back on ECW. At this moment, General Manager Tiffany enters the room, and says that she didn't appreciate Burchill's deceptive way of worming his way back onto ECW, but she has no choice but to allow him to stay. She warns Burchill that just because he's back on ECW, it doesn't mean he's going to have it easy, and tells him he'll be in action up next against ECW's Heart and Soul: Tommy Dreamer! Burchill and Katie Lea throw a fit about the decision, as Regal tells them to relax the camera heading elsewhere backstage. In Tiffany's office, Abraham Washington is waiting for Tiffany to return. Upon her return, Tiffany informs Washington that she has bad news; the Abraham Washington show has been cancelled. Washington protests, saying his show was the highlight of every edition of ECW, but Tiffany says his protests are in vain, and that it's not her decision, it's the Board of Directors. Washington asks if he still has a contract on ECW, to which Tiffany replies he does, but he is no longer the host of a talk show, so he better find something else to do with himself! Washington then leaves the room, as the action heads to ringside. Tommy Dreamer def. Paul Burchill (w/ Katie Lea)Dreamer was struggling against a reinvigorated Burchill until The Hurricane made an appearance and helped the veteran out with a distraction, allowing Dreamer to turn Burchill round for the DDT.Commercial BreakBackstage in the locker room, Tommy Dreamer is cooling down after a difficult bout against Paul Burchill before the break. William Regal walks in with Ezekiel Jackson, telling Dreamer that Jackson has something to say. Dreamer gets to his feet, as Jackson says it's time for an out of shape, past his peak, living off the letters ECW Tommy Dreamer to step aside, and let a physical phenomena like Ezekiel Jackson take over, and lead ECW into a new era, an era dominated by Superstars like himself. Dreamer shakes his head, and says that if Jackson wants him to step aside, he's going to have to make him. Jackson then smiles, and says he's glad Dreamer's said that, because that was what he intended on doing. Jackson and Regal then left the locker room, Dreamer staring at them as they do, the action then returning to ringside. Zack Ryder, along with Rosa Mendez (who is dressed like an elf) makes, are making their way out to the ring as ECW returns to the arena. Zack says at Christmas time, a man should just be able to chill out with his bro's, and recently, he found himself a new 'Zack Pack', a new bunch of broski's, The Dudebusters! Zack then brings them out, and says as he is a former WWE Tag Team Champion, he's decided it would only be right for someone like him to mentor them to their goal; becoming the new Unified Tag Team Champions! Yoshi Tatsu then makes his way out, as he is Ryder's opponent tonight. Zack Ryder (w/ The Dudebusters) def. Yoshi TatsuRyder nailed Tatsu with the Zack Attack to take the W in this great back and forth bout.Commercial BreakEzekiel Jackson (w/ William Regal) def. Shelton Benjamin.A great battle of skill vs. power to close this week's edition of ECW, as Jackson came out on top against one of ECW's top stars with the Book of Ezekiel closing the bout.Following the contest, Jackson picks up the limp body of Benjamin, and locks him in the torture rack! Jackson holds Benjamin in the hold until the ECW Champion Christian, and Tommy Dreamer, emerge from the back, and make the save! Dreamer and Christian manager to get Jackson and Regal to back off, saving Benjamin from further pain, Christian holding up his ECW Championship as another edition of ECW ends. WWE2009.

ECW I noticed a few things off the bat that bothered me. The color shouldn't be red. I'd go with purple for ECW, and black (or bold) for Superstars. Next, the (w/ Katie Lea) with the space in between the slash and the K bothers me. I know it's minor, but still. Now on to the real show. Good to see Christin win the opener. I just hope that he retains the title against Zeke. I hope Abraham Washington becomes a manager now. Paul losing hurts him. Would have preferred him to win and beatdown on Tommy after the match, only for Hurricane to make the save. Great to see a Ryder/Dudebusters stable. They could probably have some good backstage segments with the right people. Ryder going over Yoshi Tatsu in what would have been a decent match is good. Love that Zeke and Christian both won their matches. Some old school build there. Not a bad ending with Dreamer and Christian running Regal and Zeke off. Good show, Shifty. Hopefully you stick with this one.

ECW on SyFy: Tuesday 22nd December 2009...Yep, the red colored headers are definitely awkward considering that RAW has the same shade of color. Use the HEX coding please. Christian beating Vance Archer is pretty good, should have had the ECW Champion cutting a promo though, there's not so much to work with this episode. Archer had a decent opportunity, the right man won though. I'd like it if you kept pushing Archer though. William Regal and Paul Burchill's segment was interesting, but don't have them team considering Regal's tied to the Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov/Christian situation. Decent tag team opportunity there; that's what this match should have been based on. At least that boring feud with Burchill and the Hurricane is over. Abraham Washington's show being cancelled? Awful decision, really is. Have him protest until he gets it back; the Abraham Washington Show was the ideal way to set up so many big feuds on this show. I hate that decision, it was very popular for the tertiary brand. Tommy Dreamer beating Burchill is the right decision. Oh...Hurricane's still here. Meh. Made their match and aftermath last week pointless. Dreamer and Ezekiel Jackson's promo was interesting, made him seem credible, possible Regal and Dreamer feud would be very cool to do. Zack Ryder's segment was pretty nifty, very good and well written. Ryder beating Yoshi Tatsu is fine, but please give Tatsu a decent push. Where is Goldust? No no no, please don't have Caylen Croft and Trent Barreta with Ryder. I guess it gets them noticed I guess. And we give Croft and Barreta their first feud against Yoshi and Goldust...I hope. Please give Yoshi and Goldust some credibility and momentum though, as opposed to the Dudebusters dominating. Ezekiel Jackson beating Shelton Benjamin was a pretty good decision, good main event, and a decent show I suppose. Failed to follow up on Vladimir Kozlov getting turned on by Regal and Zeke last week though: he really should be a face on the side of Christian, Dreamer and Benjamin against Regal and Dreamer. Some bad decisions here and there. And for God's sake, change the header color, it's bugging me.
WWE Superstars: Thursday 24th December 2009..Merry Christmas Eve. Wish you had the list results ordered or in the opposite direction, it's confusing when the main event's at the top. Luke Gallows with a win against Jimmy Wang Yang is fine, pretty cool opening contest. Wang Yang needs a win or two though. Get him to team with Slam Master J, they were a pretty decent combination for a lower card team. Charlie Haas with another win is fine, again, team Slam Master J and Wang Yang and make them look presentable. What I see you're failing to do is booking some of the undercard that we all know aren't going to go far. Like with the Hurricane and Goldust to the Dudebusters: you're making their pushes far too obvious. Give the aforementioned guys a little credibility and momentum, maybe an odd win or two against the group of guys you're pushing. Otherwise it gets too predictable and makes the guys that always lose look utterly useless. Evan Bourne with the win in the main event is decent, but the match with Chavo Guerrero makes it seem like ECW 2008. Decent episode, complete the points I just made in future for a more realistic/decent diary.
