This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
So finally saw Mania 25:
MITB - A decent opener that shouldn't have been the opener. This is becoming an annual match, whose consequences have had far reaching effects in the WWE the last four years. It should seriously be done either before the world / wwe title matches or in between them. Anyway, maybe I missed it, but I am surprised Shelton didn't someone fall on a ladder again. It always seems he takes some sort of insane bump that you wonder how he is still walking a week later. Interestingly, the last three men were my picks, with Kane chokeslaming Christian only for Punk to knock Kane off and win the match. I knwo people really wanted Christian, but I can see now that the WWe may very well be pushing Punk as the first "new generation" grand slam champion. Diva's battle Royal - I'm sorry, but this just wasn't a real battle royal. Yes, they couldn't bring Moolah back, but they couldn't get Molly Holly, Trish Status, Lita, Wendi Ritcher, Jackie (although her TNA contract may stop that even if she isn't on T.V.), Debra, Chyna, Terri Runnels, and that one woman who was like Chyna (the one who for a short time had an angle with Val Venis). Granted, some of those names were unlikely as anything due to "issues" and some of them weren't THAT big, but not having Molly (who shaved her head at Mania years back), Trish (duh), Lita (duh), or Chyna (she retired as champ BEFORE Trish did. In fact, she handily defeated Trish and it was noly after she left that the Trish era started) at Mania 25 is just plain screwy. Worse, they didn't bother to announcer beforehand WHO was in there. Even the announcers during the match weren;'t sure until near the end. The ending was amusing with Santina's dance and all and in a lot of ways fitting because this truly wasn't anything representative of Mrs. Wrestlemania. No wonder Trish and Lita declined. Matt Vs Jeff: A decent brawl / crazy moves type of match. The "one risk too many" deal is ironically what started their first feud way back in 2001/2002. The Twist of Fate on the chair was neat. A good match all in all. JBL vs Mysterio: If anything, JBL sold him quitting (and being surprised by it) extremely well. HOF Thing: Fun to watch. I didn't see the ceremony but did Terry cut his hair? Anyway, a nice end of Austin, by far. Taker Vs HBK: An excellent match. THE match I wanted to see and it didn't disappoint. HBK is probably the only person aside from Kane to pick out of an immediate pin from a tombstone and Taker's expression was done well. taker's dive though was just sickening. It literally looks like he landed on top of his head on the ground / camera. An amazing, back and forth match, with an ending that you quite honestly didn't see happening (well, actually, I always envisioned Taker catching a wrestler from his moonsault and it interestingly enough was HBk, but this was like in 96 which HBK was doing it matchly, not thirteen years later. And yes...I realize that Taker did the same thing with marc Mero cept his tombstone was on the ground). Cena / Edge / Show - Not a bad match. I knwo people were disappointed Cena didn't FU both Show and Edge together at teh same time but considering Show is 500 pounds and Edge was under him, that is just asking for disaster. I think the very end seemed a bit off as you'd think Edge wouldn't walk right into it but eh. Neat part was where Edge / Cena teamed up on show. Orton / HHH - Trips entrance was not as bad as people made it seem. The match itself was...okay. I didn't hate it. The fact both men hit their finishers within the first minute was unique. The DDT by Orton was decent and they played the count out thing well (much better than HBK / Taker which hoenstly I felt put HBK out of character a bit). However, the end was um...anti-climatic. And it made Orton look stupid. Here is a guy they are suppose to make look like a cyborg, a cold, calculating individual, idiotically knock out the ref. Of course he can't win the match then. And then you see Trips punt him, hammer him, then after punching him a few times pull him up for a pedigree. Just felt off and made Orton look weak. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
How ya doing, buddy? |
The Diva Battle Royal should have been made to be the one that got filmed for the DVD instead of the Tag Team unification titles. It was nothing but a joke and as one guy said it best, you turned your head to sneeze and 75% of them were already "eliminated". I found the Taker vs HBK on Youtube before it was taken down and yeah that was a pretty awesome match. I even read where some people backstage said that that match should have been the last match as not even the Triple H/Orton match could top it. Also it was probably the only match worthy of seeing WM 25. I might buy the DVD next month for that match and the one with Jericho vs Steamboat, Piper and Snuka. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I think the Taker/HBK match took the top and then the Hardy/Hardy match should have gone for more than 15 minutes.
How ya doing, buddy? ![]() |
Taker / HBK is just awesome.
Jericho Vs the legends was OK at best until Steamboat got in. When I looked at Snuka, I had to think back to the images of him twenty-five years ago and how things have changed. Piper did OK but you could see some of the ring rust on Hot Rod. Steamboat smoehow managed to step out of a time machine from the past to put on a spectular performance, even better when you consider the fact that his last match was FIFTEEN YEARS AGO (against a not so Stone Cold but yet Stunning Steve Austin). I hope that Vince, his kids, and heck, they show his grand kids this, to show them a sample of what they could have had TWENTY YEARS AGO if Vince got over his pettiness regarding WCW to such a point that he buried any talent that was world championship material from that side. My bad, I don't know why I put in Molly Holly. However, Jackie was in Jacquline, not Gayda. She was a part of the attitude era, and a former two time champion. Nicole Bass was correct as well. I think what I am getting at is they should have had Chyna, Trish, Sable, Ritcher, and Lita for obvious reasons. All five were very, VERY instrumental in the woman's division. And heck, look WWE, if you want hilarity, have Mae Young win it. If you could put the title on Moolah at age 80 (speaking of which, Ivory was missing too whom was fairly instrument with RTC), and if you are going to make the battle royal a joke, you certainly could have HER win it. Heck, have her eliminate Santina. Oh, and I don;'t blame Trish for not showing up after the result. After all she did for the division.....nevermind. Additional Spam: So, draft is upon us. Picks anyone? 1.) C.M. Punk - They really seem to be pushing Punk as the new gen grand slam winner. I forsee Punk going to Smackdown! to collect the last three titles. He'll probably win the tag titles, the US title, then use his MITB title shot for the world title come November or December. Punk -> Smackdown! 2.) Koji - He had an OK stay on Raw, but he really has nowhere to go right now. Smackdown! would be a nice change for him. Koji -> Smackdown 3.) Undertaker - The man has been on Smackdown! since 02. He was on the Raw brand for maybe at most three months. A rematch between him and HBK could do decent. Oh, and word has it they want a lot of big players on Raw. Undertaker -> Raw 4.) MVP - MVP has been a mainstay on Smackdown! for two or three years now. If it wasn't that he is the US champ, I'd say he was going to ECW (which could happen as that is exactly what Matt did, but it really wouldn't help his career unless it's to be a launch to a real world title). I see WWE doing a switch with the US / IC titles. MVP -> Raw 5.) Rey mysterio - Mysterio has been on Raw but really hasn't done much. He beat Kane in his feud, then lost to Edge at the end of the EC. He then won the IC title. Honestly, haviing Rey on raw with so many "big hitters" already on Raw really puts him out of the spotlight. I see him going back to Smackdown! or even more likely, ECW (which is Smackdown virtually). Rey Mysterio -> ECW 6.) John Morrison - As I said, it seems they are splitting Miz / Morrison up. Looks like there won't be a feud though. Question is, who goes where? I see Morrison going toRaw to feud with MVP for the US title. Morrison -> Raw 7.) The Miz - See above The Miz -> Smackdown! 8.) The Great Khali - He hasn't really done much on Smackdown! Watch for him to return to ECW and his old roots Khali -> ECW 9.) Triple H - This one is definitely one in question. Many few it's a lock, but that's just it, if it's a lock, why not NOT do it? this would also effectively end the Orton / HHH feud. However, given the match-up they are having at Backlash!, watch for Trips to go back to raw. Triple H -> Raw 10.) Cena - Cena has been on Raw since 05 I believe. Time for a switch. Cena -> Smackdown! 11.) Colon's - ECW has virtually nothing right now. While I do think they will get the IC title, I think the tag titles will become a mainstay for the brand. Colons -> ECW 12.) Edge - Edge has been on Smackdown! for two years now. It's kinda hard to determine if Vickie will stay on Raw or Edge on Smackdown! It would seem odd, but be shcoking if Vickie got drafted to Smackdown! However, after the shock got over, people would realize that is really old. Watch for Edge to make his return to Raw. Furthermore, part of me would not be surprised if he defeats Cena for the title, only for Punk to repeat last year and use his title shot to win it from Edge the next night (so the title stays on Smackdown!). Edge -> Raw 13.) Beth Phoenix - It is obvious the Phoenix / Santino thing is at it's end. A feud between the two would not help. Watch for Phoenix to go to Smackdown! and gofor the title. Beth Phoenix -> Smackdown! 14.) McCool - Watch for McCool to go to Raw to go for the woman's title. Michelle McCool -> Raw 15.) Candice - Word has it she wants to go to Smackdown! It wold be fresh and a restart of her career which has stalled since her return. Candice -> Smackdown! 16.) HBK - This is the toughest one. Part of me feels he is going to finish out his career on Raw. however, part of me also feels that he could go on Smackdown! just to have something new and fresh for the last year of his career. It would also be easier on HBK who is reaching the point wher ehe wants to spend more time at home, as he can do two or three weeks worth of tapings and then spend weeks at home with his family. If HBK though doesn't do it this year, I'm almost positive that if he doesn't disappear altogether at Mania next year, he'll jump to Smackdown! then. However, given that Raw has virtually all of Smackdown!'s major stars now.... HBK -> Smackdown! 17.) Koslov - This guy was doing awesome, even geting a clean win over Undertaker/ However, after his loss to HBK, he has lost major steam. Hard to believe he was actually in a main event this past Survivor Series. At any rate, watch for him to go to ECW to get things on the right track, then back to Smackdown! or Raw afgter a year or two. Koslov -> ECW 18.) Jericho - This one is doubtful, but Jericho could make a move too. If HBK doesn't make a move to Smackdown!, don't be surprised if Y2J does. If not, well, Jericho is at teh stage where he can only help a brand with his excellent mic and mat skills. Him going to ECW would IMMEDIATELY bring a lot to the brand. And he can work Smackdown! as well so it's not like he's stranded there. JEricho -> ECW What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm hoping they'll keep HBK on Raw and do a repeat of what they did with Kurt Angle. Angle beat HBK at Mania, got switched to Raw during the draft, then HBK confronted him with a rematch. Undertaker to Raw would be awesome and so would HHH, but I thought they didn't work well together or something of that extent.
I really don't want to see Rey go to ECW, and if he does then keep Morrison there. That's the next IC title match I want to see, because Morrison is IC title material. Vickie is just annoying with her gimmick, much like Jillian and her Britney gimmick. I really REALLY hope Vickie gets drafted to Smackdown or ECW. I'm sorry, but one of the reasons I don't watch Smackdown is so I don't have to put up with her crap. Who am I kidding, I miss Smackdown every night because I keep forgetting it's on Friday nights. You'd think after all these years I'd figure it out by now. Also, Legacy needs to recruit more members to make a faction much like the nWo because this three person deal is getting boring. Seriously, what do Rhodes and Dibiase do anymore? They have a match every two weeks, while most of the time they're guarding Orton's ass. I get the feeling they'll add at least a fourth member by the end of the Backlash. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Actually, they already have Harry Smith penciled in as the fourth guy.
Truth be told, they should have a 2nd / 3rd generation stable for Legacy. They would have Orton as the leader, Shane McMahon as the financial backer. Rhodes and Sim Snuka (how sad his dad got a angle on Mania with only being there a few weeks while he nothing) as the tag team contenders, DiBiase as the IC contender, Natalye (?) Neidhart going for the woman's title, Chavo going for the US title or ECW title, Harry Smith for the title Chavo isn't going for, and one other (not sure on who though) for the World / WWE title on Smackdown!. Yes, Legacy wouldn;t be Raw exclusive but a stable that causes havoc and wants to dominate the entire WWE. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Well the draft pick is finally upon us and so far it's been alright. I mean the first pick was alright but the next two were a little boring.

Well, looks like I wasn't too far off regarding the draft.
I think it;s fairly obvious Punk will be going on to win all the titles now. I do wonder about Edge though. Basically, the Supplemental Draft will be the telltale sign of what will happen in Backlash! Then again, I have a hard time seeing Edge beat Cena cleanly in a last man standing match. I mean, it's not that a heel doesn't win these things, but usually if a heel does, it's either because he is beyond the face (Triple H Vs Jericho) or there is some kind of screw job (Vader - Cactus Jack, Triple H - Orton). My guess is Edge will lose at Backlash! but since Cena is a Raw star and she is the GM of Raw, you'll see her put him in an immeidate rematch in which Cena loses. The Punk beats Edge. Or...OR.... Cena beats Edge. Orton beats Triple H's team. The next night, Triple H, enraged, beats the crap out of Orton. Heck, Triple H, Batista, and Shane McMahon ALL beat the crap out of Orton and Legacy (or they hold them at bay after Triple H pedigree's Orton). Suddenly, Punk's music plays and he uses his MITB title shot. They could even say he is "avenging" his loss back in Sept when Orton cost him the title. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
That would be cool mortis...but I think that if they do that, it'll feel like they are over using the "I WANT REVENGE" thing with WWE. I mean...You have Batista/Shane/Vince/HHH vs Orton and Co. Hardy and Hardy
FELIPE NO ![]() |
Oh yeah wednesday. I have this strange feeling that its wednesday already.

4:07 pm - They're still updating...no clue when this thing ends. 4:24 pm - Final move of the draft confirmed. It's ended. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Questions:
There's nowhere I can't reach. ![]() |
the one crappy thing (that I just realized) is Punk definitely can NOt become a grand slam winner. I realized last night the US title switched brands as he switched so he can't get that title. And now the tag titles switched as well.
Wow, talk about getting punked. Right now, the leading characters on Smackdown! are Mysterio and marysee as they are the only ones who have titles. Well, at least there's ring of honor. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
