H̶E̶R̶E̶T̶I̶C̶S̶ Ø: NXT 10/29 and SD Live 10/30

TLC Review

Wow what a pay per view from start to finish, I was just in awe, in amazement and the opening contest, one of the best Ladder Matches I have seen in recent memory with so many high-flying spots and so many near finishes until Christian with that Spear from one ladder to the next in mid-air, what a spot, and Christian walks out the new WWE United States Champion, and now that Christian is WWE United States Champion the only things left for Christian to accomplish in his career are to win the Money in the Bank briefcase, the Royal Rumble Match, and the WWE Championship because if he can do those 3 things, then Christian is well on his way to being a WWE Hall of Famer but as for Evan Bourne he stole the show here and so did Christian, I wouldn't be surprised if this match is up for Match of the Year at the Slammys, this match comes as close to HBK/Razor Ramon SummerSlam 95 or even HBK/Razor Ramon WrestleMania 10

Miz/Sandow backstage moment with the WWE Champion and the NXT Champion, it was a great moment for sure but I know during that moment I couldn't help but laugh my ass off

Bray Wyatt getting a big win here beating Brodus Clay, Wyatt is destined for greatness here but after the match-up, where he was taking Clay too, I have no idea but knowing Wyatt and just how much of a crazed lunatic he is, I definitely don't want to know

Then talking about what happened on the pre-show with Sheamus facing Mason Ryan and then after the match, the new group of Rhodes, DiBiase and Mcgillicutty attacking Sheamus and putting him through a table to send a message to Orton and Jericho for tonight was a great way to send a message

Here's to hoping we get a Sheamus heel turn then, because if you plan on turning The Great White heel, then by all means please do it

But I honestly don't know how now Sheamus goes from being a main eventer competing for the World Heavyweight Championship all the way to a mid-carder now wrestling on a pre-show, when he should be in the main event, I am just baffled by how far you are making Sheamus fall here

Ryback beats Kane to keep his undefeated streak still in tact in what I thought was a great match especially with 2 monsters here their size, 2 powerhouses, and I honestly thought that during this match Ryback's undefeated streak was going to end but then surprisingly Ryback comes back during the match to pull off the victory and now that Ryback is done with Kane, I imagine who he will feud with next

Maddox has a performance review and so does Flair, but imagine if both of them get fired and Vince names a new GM, if he does, imagine if he names someone who we don't expect as GM, someone like Paul Heyman or even Eric Bischoff as GM of RAW or he names one of his children either Stephanie or Shane as GM, then that would be even better

Eve beats Natalya to retain her WWE Divas Championship in a great match but it just goes to show you that if Beth couldn't beat Eve or if any other diva couldn't beat her, it just makes me wonder just who can be the one to finally end Eve's reign as WWE Divas Champion? Either way it was a great match nonetheless

It seems Dean Ambrose is coming into his own as a face, he definitely makes a bad-ass face that is for sure and I loved his match-up with Daniel Bryan because it has the potential to be another Match of the Year candidate but I loved it because of the spots during that match especially the final spot with Ambrose giving Bryan a Vertebreaker on a seated steel chair, that was sickening but nonetheless it was effective and Ambrose coming out to a positive reaction and leaving to a positive reaction just goes to show you that he is here to stay as a face while Bryan I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up on the shelf injured

I still can't believe Rey is retiring but since he is, especially on a grand stage like SummerSlam, what better way for Rey to go out than to pass the torch to Sin Cara, Sin Cara taking Rey's spot as the new masked luchadore of the WWE, then Rey can go out in style, I expect Rey to get a 2013 WWE Hall of Fame induction in your diary since he is retiring

Kurt Angle is returning to the WWE as a Smackdown guy, this is going to be great, I can't wait until Angle finally returns because he can have so many feuds on Smackdown like feuding with Orton, Jericho, Sheamus, Rhodes, Ryback, Kane, Bryan, Ambrose, Cesaro, Del Rio, etc. but most important that Angle can go for the World Heavyweight Championship

Roman Reigns in his first pay per view match beats Zack Ryder in dominating fashion, just goes to show you that Reigns is destined for greatness being that he is a second-generation superstar the son of WWE Hall of Famer Sika of the Wild Samoans, coming from a great wrestling family the Anoai family, that Reigns is destined to be a star on the rise here in the WWE while Ryder if anything he has been on quite the decline as of late but here is hoping Ryder picks up momentum again

3MB formation, that I could really care less about, so I won't even get into all that

DiBiase and Mcgillicutty getting the biggest win of their careers retaining their WWE Tag Team Championships against the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and Chris Jericho, two bonafide future Hall of Famers all be it that they had help from Cody Rhodes, Orton's SummerSlam opponent but then Sheamus came out to even the odds but to no avail, but now that DiBiase and Mcgillicutty have both gotten big wins here, maybe they can branch out into singles competition soon becoming singles stars

CM Punk defeating The Miz in TLC to become the new WWE Champion, finally putting an end to Miz's title reign because I was really starting to hate Miz as WWE Champion, so glad that that's over and done with, thank the Lord but this match-up had so many spots in this match in which I loved

But then after the match Punk gets attacked by Maddox and Reigns and Miz only for Wade Barrett of all people to come out and even the odds, now that I was definitely not expecting was Barrett to come out, but Barrett it seems he wants to get his hands on Maddox and I for one don't blame him either especially after what Maddox did to him, who knows maybe a face turn is in Barrett's future but I can't even see Barrett as a face, I could see him as more a tweener than anything else but then Barrett giving chase to Maddox, Reigns and Miz who all get out of there and then Dolph Ziggler comes dashing to the ring with MITB briefcase in tow and Dolph doing the smart thing cashing in his briefcase which he won at WrestleMania 28 to cash in on the new WWE Champion CM Punk

Dolph ultimately winning the WWE Championship on his cash-in, I for one was in shock after that, but in a good way because I loved every second of it and now that Dolph is WWE Champion, I imagine Punk is going to want his re-match since he was the champion, but Miz also being champion too is going to want his re-match and Barrett since he never really lost the title but had to relinquish it, he is also going to want his rematch for the title, so you have quite the dilemma here on your hands

Either way it was a great PPV and I can't wait until the road to SummerSlam begins

Punk vs Ziggler at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship would make for a great RAW main event for SummerSlam especially since Ziggler just won the title by cashing in his briefcase on Punk and Punk I am sure he is going to want his re-match for the title at SummerSlam but then Miz he also has a valid rematch too and so does Barrett, so the only solution to our problem here would be a Fatal 4-Way Match for the WWE Championship with Ziggler defending his WWE Championship against Punk, Miz, and Barrett, it is pretty much the only thing that makes sense at the moment

As for John Cena, I wonder what you have planned for him when it comes to SummerSlam

Because for SummerSlam you already have 2 matches set in stone with Randy Orton defending his World Heavyweight Championship against the 2012 WWE King of the Ring Cody Rhodes who also happens to be Randy Orton's former Legacy teammate who got here by winning the KOTR tournament to earn a title shot

And the other match being Rey Mysterio's Last Match that being Rey Mysterio vs Sin Cara for SummerSlam

But other matches I could see happening for SummerSlam are Antonio Cesaro defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Alberto Del Rio, Christian defending the WWE United States Championship against a new #1 Contender maybe but if not then I can definitely see him defending against Bourne again

DiBiase and Mcgillicutty will most likely defend their WWE Tag Team Championships here at SummerSlam but against which team? Probably The Usos or Epico & Primo or The Prime Time Players or probably against all 3 teams in a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Turmoil Match

But Ryder I hope he gets a chance to compete at SummerSlam, and same goes for Ryback too as well as Sheamus

And Mark Henry I hope he makes a return here in your diary soon, just so we can see The Hall of Pain make a comeback and he can induct new victims into his Hall of Pain

But I wonder where Big Show is, because I don't think anyone has seen him since No Way Out or where is Brock Lesnar? Or even Triple H for that matter?

But I would honestly love to see Dolph Ziggler use the Super Kick a lot more in your diary because it is just such a sweet finisher for Dolph to use, and not to mention he has been using it a lot lately in real life, so here is hoping he uses it from now on as a secondary finisher but I would hope Dolph dumps Vickie as his manager, and you end up bringing in someone like Big E. Langston to be Dolph's bodyguard, if Big E. doesn't work, how about Leo Kruger, but hey it's just an idea

Just a graphical comment - ease up on the sharpening on some of the renders, some of them are looking a bit choppy. A bit like your face, but still...

A great way to kick off the event, and as expected, Christian takes the United States Championship. Evan Bourne had a great run, and your unique heel turn definitely helped him out there, because as a babyface he'd have been a terrible Champion, so kudos for that. I can't imagine Brodus Clay versus Bray Wyatt being a technical masterpiece, but it's a good monster mash and very pleased to see Wyatt on top, I see a big push for him in the near future. Kane and Ryback are another interesting pairing, and I'm not sure on the decision to have it go on after a very similar clash, but that's just my opinion. I'm glad Ryback walked away with the victory, being a big fan of his, I'd like to see him given the Main Event run down the line, he's proved he's more than capable of hanging up there. Divas Match, for what it was, was good. Eve retaining and the closing line of "who can stop Eve" really leads me to believe you could be bringing in another dominant diva. Was Kharma released before you started your diary? I can't remember. A huge victory for Dean Ambrose over Daniel Bryan, I can only imagine how amazing that match would be. I'm glad Roman Reigns finally got a victory, he seemed to be on the back end of a few matches lately and needed this victory. A huge win for the WWE Tag Team Champions over the World Heavyweight Champion and a former World Champion at that. Albeit, there was the interference of Cody Rhodes and an appearance from Sheamus, but it's still a huge win, assist or not. I was incredibly shocked to see CM Punk become the new WWE Champion as it cut The Miz's reign short, but then I was even more surprised to see Dolph Ziggler cash in and become the WWE Champion. My only concern is that this time last year we saw a CM Punk/Dolph Ziggler feud at the Royal Rumble and you seem to be going for it again. Obviously the tables have turned though and you could play that into it. I'll see what you have in store. A great event overall.

RAW Review

I loved how you opened up the show with Punk and it appears he isn't a happy camper especially after losing the WWE Championship after having Money in the Bank cashed in on him twice by Ziggler cashing in and how if anyone deserves a championship match, it's him, only to be interrupted by The Miz who says that he was the WWE Champion going into TLC and that Punk may have beaten him but as former champion he too is entitled to a rematch only for Barrett to interrupt and claim that he should get a shot before anybody because he was wrongfully stripped of the WWE Championship only for Mr. McMahon to make a shocking appearance on RAW clarifying the situation in which the main event will be a Triple-Threat Match with Punk, Miz and Barrett and the winner of that getting a WWE Championship match at RAW 1000, if anything the winner should get their shot at SummerSlam and not on RAW 1000 but hey that is just my personal preference

Roman Reigns wins another match on RAW this time beating Kofi Kingston especially fresh off of his victory at TLC by beating Ryder in his first PPV match, and then just when Reigns is about to attack Kofi some more after the match, Ryder comes to Kofi's aid, and the 2 of them take Roman out, that was a great moment

R-Truth is just getting more and more nuts by the day, he is becoming a complete joke, an afterthought, and here's hoping Hawkins and Reks get R-Truth to snap out of this Lil' Jimmy thing, about time R-Truth got serious and stopped being the butt-end of all the jokes

AJ wins the 10-Diva Battle Royal to get a shot at Eve's WWE Divas Championship on RAW 1000, I for one think Eve will have the easiest match-up of her life, no way is AJ in the same league as a dominant champion like Eve nor can she hang with Eve

Brad Maddox just got caught once again

Ziggler's promo I loved it

Everything else about RAW, I loved too

Time for a follow up after a great iPPV. Sandow starts a good promo til Rollins comes out. Rollins sounded like a baby in that. Whine and whine. I hate absolulty hate Trent as a heel. Sickens me. Riley should be back to his Varsity Villian and Trent stays a face. Filth Parade love that name but I think that segment could have been perfect for a announcement of NXT tag titles. At least you debuted Oliver Grey. Paige is like a cheered Heel and that's a perfect fit. Random-Where's the Ascension? I would love to see that Main Event in real life. I think it would be superb.

Wrestling Royalty, what a stable name and it works too because Cody being the son of the American Dream Dusty Rhodes being a 2nd generation superstar, DiBiase being the son of the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, Sr. and the grandson of Iron Mike DiBiase being a 3rd generation superstar and Mcgillicutty being a 3rd generation superstar also being the son of Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig and the grandson of Larry the Ax Hennig, it is in their blood, and with all that pedigree they are the new Legacy of the WWE but I feel what they need in order to be an elite stable is if they end up having a 4th member but who??? I would have said Roman Reigns because he is a 2nd generation superstar being the son of Sika of the Wild Samoans being from the Anoai family which is wrestling royalty in that of itself but Roman has aligned himself with Miz and Maddox unfortunately, so who could join their stable?

I love the main event of DiBiase and Mcgillicutty having to face the team of the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton and the Great White Sheamus, but as for Cody Rhodes he has to face Dean Ambrose, that will be a great match

Love that Kurt Angle is returning but also that he is going to have his grand return on RAW 1000, this is great, I wonder who Angle faces in his return but also Angle is a part of RAW's 1000 episode history, one of the centerpieces of the Attitude Era and he is coming back because Kurt is the last of his breed of Attitude Era guys because there's himself, Rock, Taker, Kane, Big Show, Christian and Jericho

Ryback beats Tensai only to be assaulted by Kane right after the match, loved it because it made Ryback vulnerable for the first time but I see Ryback taking Kane out of action soon enough

So is Kaitlyn face or heel now? Because it came to me that she was coming off as being heel here but AJ to me if anything she screams heel especially because AJ is psycho unlike Kaitlyn who has all of her faculties there and I feel Kaitlyn could beat Eve and not AJ because let's face it AJ can't even handle herself in that ring but Kaitlyn can

AJ proves me wrong by beating Kaitlyn all be it by fluke, because that is what AJ is, a fluke, a one-hit wonder and I can't wait to see Eve beat her to retain her WWE Divas Championship and Kaitlyn can be the one to save us from Eve as champion

Dean Ambrose beats Cody all be it by DQ because of Bryan getting involved assaulting Ambrose and then Cody joining in on it, and Bryan taking all the credit all the glory, I knew Bryan just wouldn't let go after losing to Ambrose at TLC but I see this rivalry ending by RAW 1000 if not at SummerSlam

3MB being formed, I thought that I would never see the day but I am glad they are in existence

Loved Rhodes being backstage with his stable-mates DiBiase and Mcgillicutty giving them a pep talk before their match and loved Orton and Sheamus' banter with each other, perhaps teasing a feud between Orton and Sheamus, if that is the case, I would love to see Sheamus turn heel

Please turn Sheamus heel, because Sheamus at this point he is starting to grow stale and equally just annoying as a face, make him like the badass he was before when he was heel when he took HHH out at Extreme Rules 2010

Mysterio's segment with the Intercontinental Champion Cesaro, loved it, and what I found even more unexpected was Del Rio coming to Rey's rescue, and the 2 former rivals shaking hands considering the stuff Del Rio has done to Rey in the past

Loved the RAW 1000 card rundown

Orton and Sheamus beating DiBiase and Mcgillicutty, I loved it

Overall great Smackdown and I can't wait until RAW 1000 and I hope we get to see such people as Austin, Bret, HBK, X-Pac, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, Trish, Lita, Kevin Nash hopefully, Taker, and even more legends from the past

What a return from Brock Lesnar planting Cena with an enormous F-5, Brock Lesnar, the Beast is back in the WWE and what better way for Lesnar to come back by attacking Cena, and hopefully it leads to Cena vs Lesnar at SummerSlam and if it does, it is obvious it will be Lesnar vs Cena in the main event and that it will close out the show

Kurt Angle also returning to the WWE and he is back in a WWE ring for the first time since 2006 and he interacts with both Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose, so you know Angle he will eventually feud with both of these superstars but now that Kurt is back, I want to see him turn his attention to the World Heavyweight Championship but for right now, who can Kurt Angle feud with?

Team Maddox vs Team Flair at SummerSlam, 5 on 5 match up, I can't wait, personally I want Flair's team to win at SummerSlam because that is how much I want Maddox gone

The Rock making his announcement that at the 2013 WWE Royal Rumble, that Rock is going to be one of the 30 entrants in the 2013 Royal Rumble Match, then Rock is obviously the favorite to win it all and headline WrestleMania 29

Loved Edge returning on RAW 1000 and him spearing Evan Bourne after Bourne attacked Christian, and Christian and Edge giving Bourne a Conchairto, loved it, but what was an OMG moment was them running into their former mentor Gangrel

DX Reunion, gotta love those and them attacking Brad Maddox, he deserved it

Liking the opening to Raw 1000 with D-Generation X as in real life, glad you used Maddox here (since you haven't called up Sandow to the main roster yet). Christian getting the win over Evan Bourne makes sense. I really don't care for Bourne honestly. He is just so bland no matter how you twist him character wise. Nice appearance from Edge afterward for the nostalgia. Good win for The Miz and Reigns here. Good to have AW Promotions win the match and still keep the good touch afterward with Too Cool getting their bit in. Doesn't harm them at all. The Rock interrupting Big Johnny and getting his revenge on him is sweet, glad you decided to put him in the Royal Rumble match as well instead of a match. Makes it much more questionable to if he wins or not. Blah, divas stuff and interferences and divas stuff. I'm guessing we'll have a big divas match at Summerslam. I don't know. Good attack by Ryback on Kane, getting the mask is huge too. Well. I guess it is, seeing as how he put it back on less than a year ago. Oh well. Still makes a big statement. Good Piper's Pit with an appearance from Black Reign, looking forward to the match between Orton and Rhodes and maybe you'll slap the belt on Rhodes. I'm not sure though. JBL is back! Woo! Bray Wyatt winning is obvious. Good promo to announce the settling of a 5-on-5 match at Summerslam. I would complain about it being too close to Survivor Series, but I did it before and found no problem with it! So, whatever I suppose. Like the captains too. Awesome to see Kurt Angle back, and I hope he has a good run. Ziggler getting Punk to get himself disqualified is great, gives some heat for Dolph and makes Punk look a bit inferior too him. BORK LAZOR! BORK LAZOR! BORK LAZOR IS BACK AND HE IS GOING TO MURDER JOHN CENA! Great show.
