Spoilers: WWE SmackDown Tapings – 12/31/2010
Watch WWE Monday Night RAW 29/11/2010-King of The Ring 2010
The Week In Wrestling Christmas 2010 Edition
This week in wrestling a lot went down. Most of which I've already forgotten, but there are a few stand out points you might want to recall from this week's wrestling offerings.
First and foremost, I DO NOT watch ROH on a regular basis. I want to. However, when you utilize the library as your main internet source, you can't really watch ROH and review them. Plus, I'm already reviewing a ton of shows so I guess ROH and other federations will have to wait until I get a job and get cable again, which doesn't seem likely any time soon.
Best Match of the Week
Sheamus vs John Morrison Ladder Match
This match was by far the best match I've seen in a long time. These two put on one heck of a ladder match in both impact and psychology. Sheamus worked the leg of Morrison, hoping to ground his high flying attack and Morrison by sheer will hit Sheamus with anything and everything that might slow down the beast. Sheamus took some sick bumps and Morrison dove through the air in such a spectacular way. I call it match of the year, but others will disagree. It really was special, and the best match of this week.
Best Show of the Week
Without a doubt WWE Raw was the best show of this week. Smackdown this week was also good, and the extended tribute to the troops wasn't half bad, but Raw hit a gear that was all too good. I loved Cena, I liked how there was NO Nexus, and things just ran well. Ziggler has main event written all over him, Cena is enjoying his role, which makes me enjoy his work in ring and on the mic. Raw was definitely a hot show and the crowd made it so much more memorable.
Worst Moment of the Week
TNA IMPACT ends without finishing the main event. I hate how the main event is cut off of Impact. I don't want to watch reaction and don't want to bleed into another show to watch what should be the main event of IMPACT. Tna keeps making terrible moves, and I for some odd reason keep watching. I'm not blaming Bischoff or Hogan, but there is something wrong over at TNA and it shouldn't take some random blogger to point that out.
That's it for this week, I hope you guys enjoy your Christmas!
Whether you hate John Cena or Love John Cena, you're going to probably want to check out The John Cena Experience 3 DISC DVD set or the BLU RAY High Definition John Cena Experience. The set contains 16 matches from all over Cena's career but most importantly goes behind the scenes of his life to show you just how much effort he puts into working for the WWE. The commercial was quite interesting and the set looks like something you'd want to pick up. If you're interested in the John Cena Experience click here to purchase it for cheap, it helps this blog continue and hopefully gets me an internet connection at home, because right now I'm using the old library in my town.

Kofi Kingston defeated Jack Swagger
Alberto Del Rio defeated The Big Show via countout
Drew McIntyre defeated MVP
Kelly Kelly defeated Michelle McCool
Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated Rey Mysterio
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/26/10 Review
The show started with the most boring man in professional wrestling, Kane. He cut a promo on Edge, and what not...I didn't care, you shouldn't care, the crowd wasn't really into it either. Edge came out and what not, and I didn't care...something about Kane getting on his knees...it was stupid. Kane vs Edge sucks, the beginning of this show was just terrible.
Kofi Kingston defeated Jack Swagger
Swagger and Kofi went into a back and forth battle for the King of the Ring qualification. This match was quite good, it had a lot of action, I thought there were some serious spots, and after Swagger hit his shoulder on the ring post, this thing was over. I didn't really care for the finish, but it was actually kind of good. Kofi moves onto the King of the Ring tournament.
Alberto Del Rio defeated The Big Show via countout
Del Rio couldn't get the big man down, and couldn't win the matchup by force, so he had his ring announcer get involved and that forced Big Show to lose via countout. That's right, a countout win for Del Rio and he moves on to. Not a great match, but it will have to do.
Drew McIntyre defeated MVP
This match was ok, MVP had a hurt arm or something and Drew wins. Drew sucks, but somehow, someway, this match was semi-interesting. I don't think Drew McIntyre will win this match, but we'll see. MVP continues to be hit or miss, and well, he's a far cry from his "MVP" gimmick that was good a few years back.
Kelly Kelly defeated Michelle McCool
This was a fluke roll up win, and nothing too special to mention. The match was ok enough, but Laycool got beat up by Beth Phoenix after the match. Phoenix had a knee brace, and she still managed to hit her finisher on Michelled McCool.
Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated Rey Mysterio
This match was ok enough, it wasn't exactly a thrilling match up. It had a few good moments, and Mysterio works really well with a much lighter Cody Rhodes, then he would with larger men. Mysterio hit his spots nicely, and showed no sign of injury at all. Del Rio helped Cody Rhodes at one point, and Mysterio dove into Del Rio on the outside. That woke up an otherwise tired crowd, and the match went on to be a wortwhile main event for Smackdown. A ref bump caused this match to really kick into high gear, in which Del Rio took advantage and helped Dashing Cody Rhodes defeat the higher flyer with Cross Rhodes.
Judging purely by wrestling and the matches they had on this show, it was a great one. I actually liked a lot of the wrestling, and the finish of the main event was really done well. Dashing Cody Rhodes, Del Rio, Kofi Kingston and Drew McIntyre will be in the King of the Ring tournament, creating quite an appealing 3 hour show. I'm excited to see how it will all turn out, and of course, The Miz's first night on Raw as the WWE champion should be good too. Wrestling is actually good for a change, too bad TNA can't take note, and too bad KANE sucks. I liked the show...now back to sleep I go.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Edge ran over a fake Paul Bearer with a car. That's how the show ended...worst feud ever.

WWE Monday Night Raw 12/13/10 Review
Another 3 hour Raw? Are you serious? Come on!
David Arquette was the guest hot or something....former WCW champion!
The Slammy for the Shocker of the year went to:
Nexus
The show wasn't starting too well, at least in my book.
The Big Show defeated Wade Barrett via countout
This match was over after Wade got beat down and he quit. He walkd out after Big Show just beat the snot out of him, till Wade was black and blue all over, no joke. Big Show wins, but he got poked in the eye. Nothing major here.
The Slammy For Most Dispicable:
Cm Punk
I didn't care.
Kofi Kingston & Daniel Bryan defeated Ted Dibiase & Dolph Ziggler
This match wasn't that great, but it had a few good spots. Ted Dibiase was really trying to look more vicious, but it wasn't working out. Dolph got hit with some major offense, and in the end, Kofi and Bryan win and get to screw the Bella Twins...lucky guys. A short, fast, match with not a whole lot to speak of.
The Slammy For Guest Star Shining Moment Goes To:
Pee Wee Herman
I didn't care for this either.
Nexus was throwing a hissy fit against Barrett backstage. I've been sick of the Nexus since the stupid win at Summerslam.
Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated Mark Henry
This quick match had Mark Henry beating on Rhodes, but out of the blew, Cody Rhodes upset the big man, and it as over.
The Holy SH*#)@* Moment of the Year Slammy Goes to:
John Cena
I thought he was fired? Lame.
Wade Barrett rehired John Cena, and the two will fight in a chair match.
Nexus beat up John Cena...yep.
The Slammy For The Reaction of the Year Goes to:
Angry Miz Girl!
Hilarious.
THe Miz came out and interacted with the girl or whatever, it was ok...must be nice to get some love from WWE.
The Slammy for OH SNAP MELTDOWN Goes To:
Edge
John Morisson vs Sheamus double dq
The two basically brawled with each other, and nothing more. The match was thrown out, and the crowd was going nuts. The two redeemed themselves from last week's lame excuse for a feud builder.
The two will meet at TLC in a LADDER match.
The Slammy Award for Knucklehead Moment of the Year goes to:
Laycool
That's it...ugh.
Michelle McCool won a Slammy Battle ROyal
This was interesting, only because it lasted a few minutes. Yep, it didn't last very long at all.
Laycool will have to face Natlya & Beth Phoenix in a tables match
Edge defeated Jack Swagger
A squash match to say the least. Swagger was buried here, and I don't want to hear anyone say different. Edge sucks, but his music is awesome.
WWE Moment of the Year would give the Slammy To:
Shawn Michaels
I don't even remember anything about this year.
Randy Orton defeated David Arquette & Alex Riley
This was just sad, David Arquette completely got buried here, straight through a table. Arquette is hilarious, I'm sure he's ok. The Miz and Orton at TLC? I dunno, I don't care. Orton wins here, and no one was surprised.
And the Slammy for The And I Quote Line of the Year Goes To:
Michael Cole
Lame. I hate the guy...ugh...what a jerk.
Superstar of the Year Slammy Goes To:
JOHN CENA!!!!!
I hated this. Dude is lame. Ugh..so tired of Cena.
Otunga was fed to John Cena.
John Cena defeated David Otunga
Cena buried Otunga. That was that, just completely squashed Otunga. I hated it, you hated it, we all hated it.
John Cena wins! John Cena wins!
This night of raw wasn't half bad, 3 hours it wasn't. It was only 2 hours and 12 minutes, but I guess they can still say 3 hours. I enjoyed Raw, I didn't hate it all, but I felt that there was just something missing....I couldn't put my hand on it. Maybe it was just a lack of overall wrestling.

WWE Smackdown 12/21/10 Results
Randy Orton defeated The Miz via DQ
Santino defeated Chavo Guerrero
Drew McIntyre defeated Kaval
Rey Mysterio & Kofi Kingston defeated Alberto Del Rio & Jack Swagger
John Cena defeated Dolph Ziggler & Vickie Guerrero
WWE Smackdown 12/21/10 Review
A special Tuesday night smackdown would be the start of something good, until I heard the worst Greenday track ever recorded. I hate the post "Warning" greenday sound, they went soft and sold out. I liked when they were punk...now they are? I don't know, pop.
Randy Orton defeated The Miz via DQ
The first match was The Miz facing off against Randy Orton in rematch from the ppv, although this was not a tables match. The Miz was running from Orton, and Orton was hitting Miz with heavy shots, and this thing looked like a burial job, if it weren't for The Miz constantly running out of the ring, scared.
Once Orton made a slight judgment error, The Miz started to mount a nice comeback with some rights and lefts, a suplex, some counters to Orton's signature turns, but Orton kept at it, and would eventually get the upper hand yet again. I'm not a big Orton fan, but he works really well with the Miz, and the two have a good timing, that really gets the crowd involved in their matches. I liked the pace the of this one. Alex Riley would help Miz regain the upper hand again, and this made Orton look all the more vulnerable, and Miz smarter for having Alex Riley helping him out.
Stryker stated that Orton was favoring his shoulder and neck, and the two other commentators disagreed, and after the men argued, Orton did exactly what Stryker said, he took a back drop and he favored his neck and looked injured. He would come back though, and hit a nice series of movies then his inside out DDT and was ready to deliver the RKO but Alex Riley interfered, only stopping the Viper the RKO was hit, giving Randy Orton the win via Disqualification after Riley ran in yet again! Yep. Riley saves the Miz.
Post match Randy Orton was all set to hit the punt but instead delivered a HUGE RKO to Alex Riley as Miz crawled his way out of the ring. Orton looked strong for once, and I like him 100 times better in this role than I did as the champion. This match was a quality encounter, even if there was a DQ finish, and I can only say that Miz has shocked me yet again, he's not a one trick pony, he has a lot of gusto and he proved it once again with a great match up here.
The Big Show once again was giving out cool stuff backstage as Santa Claus. Hornswoggle was also ther to give out presents. Eve joined them, and it looked interesting enough, but I knew what was coming. Dashing Cody Rhodes ran down and messed up the ring, beat up Hornswoggle, and made The Big Show very upset.
Edge cut a promo, and then Kane came out...I don't remember much of this encounter cause I was getting some more coffee.
Drew McIntyre defeated Kaval
Kaval was completely squashed here. Drew kicked him in the face which looked really sick, then hit the Future Shock DDT and this thing was over. Drew wins, Kaval gets buried, he needs to go back to TNA.
Santino defeated Chavo Guerrero
Despite Chavo's continual play up of his "Latino" heat gimmick, or rather the late Great Eddie Guerrero's gimmick, he just can't manage to get away from jobber status. Santino got a beating throughout this match but was able to deliver The Cobra to pin Chavo yet again. Chavo needs to just quit and join TNA or something, he hasn't been over in such a long time.
Rey Mysterio & Kofi Kingston defeated Alberto Del Rio & Jack Swagger
This match was a good fast paced match with lots of room to breathe. I'm surprised Del Rio was in this match as much as he was, while Swagger took most of the bumps here. Kofi and Rey are a good fast paced team and never let up on the offense. They hit all your crowd pleasing spots, and then with the 619 and Trouble In Paradise knocking out the bad guys, Kofi and Rey won. The two did a nice double High Cross body off the top rope, and boy, the 12 year old inside of me was going completely nuts for this match. This match was nothing more than a crowd pleaser, and a quality match up after the squash match before it.
John Cena defeated Dolph Ziggler & Vickie Guerrero
John Cena started this match up fast and I liked it. John was completely in control and Ziggler was bumping great like he was on Raw. Eventually Ziggler was able to capitalize on a Cena quick overlook and would work him over, and at one point Vickie Guerrero got in and got a couple of shots in against Cena. This once again is a testament to how good Ziggler is in ring, as he is one of the most competant workers that the WWE has. I can see Ziggler getting a world title run or at least getting over enough to get title shots because he was looking great against a much more experienced John Cena.
One of the best points of the match was a nice reversal on an Irish Whip from Ziggler in which he sent Cena into the ropes and Cena went for the shoulder block only to miss by a split second when Ziggler dropped and let Cena roll through the ropes onto the floor. It was such a well timed spot that I was marking out alongside the San Antonio crowd. I was going nuts, becuase this match, once again, was one of the best matches I've seen all year, and that's saying a lot.
Vickie Guerrero tagged in towards the end of the match and completely fell on her face as she tried to deliver a splash on Cena. Ziggler would eventually get back in and started to lose his cool as Cena was hitting his five moves of doom, and despite my hatred for him all year, I was marking out huge for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle! Ziggler countered the Attitude Adjustment and hit the Leg Drop (I forget what it's called) but wasn't able to win the match. Cena hit the STF and Vickie came in to argue with Cena and break up the submission attempt. CENA then kissed Vickie Guerrero and then hit the Attitude Adjustment on Ziggler and pinned the Intercontinental Champion two nights in a row!
This match was incredible fun and the kiss on Cena was awesome to see. Better yet was the attempt at an Attitude Adjustment on Vickie Guerrero! He was stopped by none other than CM PUNK! That's right CM PUNK jumped in with a chair and full wrestling gear and knocked out John Cena with a CHAIR!
A CM PUNK JOHN CENA FEUD?!?!?! I'm all in folks, I'm all freakin in if this is how they are going to build to that feud. Oh man, I love it. Smackdown, for once, was a great show, no filler all killer, I liked it a lot, and you should've liked it too. What a great couple of nights of wrestling.
Whether you hate John Cena or Love John Cena, you're going to probably want to check out The John Cena Experience 3 DISC DVD set or the BLU RAY High Definition John Cena Experience. The set contains 16 matches from all over Cena's career but most importantly goes behind the scenes of his life to show you just how much effort he puts into working for the WWE.

Jay Lethal defeated Robbie E to win the X-Division Title
Erik Young & Orlando Jordan defeated Generation Me
Tara & Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James & Miss Testmaker
RVD defeated Rob Terry
Bubba Ray Dudley defeated Amazing Red
Jeff Hardy & Kaz defeated Ken Anderson & Matt Morgan
TNA Impact 12/16/10 Review
Matt Morgan and Ken Anderson had some altercation...it was stupid. Jeff Hardy came out and cut a stupid promo and he sounded like he was on drugs. He kept rambling or something, I don't know, I was just tired, and sleepy, so I went to make a sandwich. I later came back and the 3 idiots were still having their opening, and that was that.
The first match on card was none other than the X Division title match.
Jay Lethal defeated Robbie E to win the X-Division Title
Despite Robbie E being a heel, the announcers were positive on him for some weird reason. It was stupid to have the commentators high on Robbie E one minute, and then immediately goes into stupidity.
The match started and Cookie was interfering from the start, but out ran Christy Hemme and handcuffed herself to Cookie! Yep! So now the match would just be the two wrestlers and not the manager and the wrestler, which is a great thing. Lethal's combinations and elbow drop from the top rope was great, even if RObbie kicked out. Robbie took to the top rope at one point and was caught by Lethal and he hit a very very nice superplex. This match was actually starting to gain steam and for once in recent times, I loved it. Cookie tried to hand some spray into the ring, but Hemme stopped her, and Lethal hit the Lethal Injection and Robbie E loses the belt to Lethal! Not a four star classic, but one of the best matches I've seen in a long time. Letal and Hemme look cute together, and dare I say, Hemme is hot.
There was a great deal of backstage segments between matches. There was some interview segments, some interesting different points of interest, nothing too fascinating, and then Douglas Williams got beat up by Aj Styles in the women's locker room. It looked bad. Williams was knocked out cold, and he eventually left. Erik Young and Orlando Jordan did a bunch of weird segments too, it was gross.
Erik Young & Orlando Jordan defeated Generation Me
Any momentum that Tna Impact had going into this tag team match up, was lost when this match happened. This match was lopsided and was terrible. Orlando Jordan won the match with a submission and he was dressed up as a hooters girl, I kid you not. Generation Me is buried here, and just jobbed out for no apparent reason. It was terrible.
Tara & Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James & Miss Testmaker
This was a terrible match, but it had an interesting continuation of the Tara and Mickie feud. Mickie James was knocked out cold, and eventually lost the match. It was terrible.
Rob Terry is back, and he said screw you to Kaz. It was interesting, as they might be able to build up into a feud.
Bubba Ray Dudley defeated Amazing Red
Amazing Red was completely buried here, or not completely. Red was able to get in a little bit of offense, but he's being wasted here. He got obliterated by Bubba then afterwards he was getting beat up too.
Notice that there is no follow up with Shark Boy, even though he was at the ppv.
Devon came out and saved Amazing Red.
RVD defeated Rob Terry
Despite having a nice back and forth match, and despite my love for RVD in the past, this match wasn't his best. Rob Terry returning didn't get the job done as RVD put on his four moves of doom and hit the frog splash and won this match. Rob Terry got in a lot of great moves, but RVD no sold a lot of it, which was stupid to me. Oh well.
I liked Rob Terry and Orlando Jordans feud set up earlier this year, but they dropped the ball on all levels, and this match was just a throwaway. Let's hope they go back to that earlier feud or else, I'm going back to sleep.
Jeff Jarrett beat up some random idiot from the crowd. It was sad. Jarrett needs to get completely killed by someone.
Jeff Hardy & Kaz defeated Ken Anderson & Matt Morgan
This match actually had some good points to it. Anderson, despite playing up his injury, was in there like a house on fire. He was able to throw in some great offense, and Matt Morgan also had a lot of great points. He hit a huge leg drop towards the end of the match, and was able to help Anderson carry this match. Hardy looked drunk, Kaz was a sidenote. A ref bump set up Anderson going to the top rope, but he was thrown off by Rob Terry! Terry turns heel?!? The twist of Hate was hit and the ref counted 3! The bad guys win again.
This match sucked, this match was stupid, but no, there was a swerve heel turn and Rob Terry turned heel!
TNA Impact wasn't as bad as past weeks. I liked the opening match a lot, the end was ok too. I don't agree with Anderson needing to be busted open, but he looked good in this match and so was Morgan. I finally enjoyed watching TNA, even if it wasn't their best offering.
Lastly, I ask any reader out there that uses amazon online to utilize the links on the site to purchase TNA or WWE goods. Thank You.

Rare Wrestling Finds: WCW Starrcade 1997 VHS

You might not know that there are rare pro wrestling vhs tapes found on amazon and ebay, but there are a lot. Some of them are not too expensive while others can be really high in price. Here's one of the tapes that you'll want to add to your collection that is available today on amazon online, and it's relatively rare, the tape is WCW Starrcade 1997, without a doubt the biggest Starrcade ever.
WCW Starrcade 1997
The event was held on December 28, 1997 and was completely sold out at the MCI Center in Washington D.C. with 17,500 fans cramming into the arena for what was building for several years.
WCW STARRCADE 1997 Card
Eddie Guerrero defeated Dean Malenko (Cruiserweight Title Match)
Scott Norton, Vincent, and Randy Savage W/ Miss Elizabeth defeated The Steiner Brothers, and Ray Traylor w/ Ted Dibiase Sr.
Bill Goldberg defeated Steve "Mongo" McMichael
Saturn defeated Chris Benoit in a Raven's Rules Match
Buff Bagwell defeated Lex Luger
Diamond Dallas Page defeated Curt Henning (United States Title Match)
Larry Zbysko defeated Eric Bischoff by Disqualification
Sting defeated Hollywood Hulk Hogan w/ Bret Hart as special guest Referee (world title match)
Where to Buy the VHS Tape
There are only a few ways to obtain a real edition of the Time Warner Released video tape. I originally bought mine on ebay for around $9.99 when it first came out and WCW vhs tapes were readily available at Suncoast Video. If you're lucky you can find one with the original event without edits. The WWE has not released this on dvd, and any dvd you find is a pirated version.
If you want the real thing you can find it online here. Yes, you can buy Starrcade 1999 VHS tape on amazon. The going rate is as high as $69.99 last I checked, but it's well worth the money. The title match alone was epic, but the DDP vs Henning match is a rare gem of a match.

WWE Superstars 12/23/10 Results
DH Smith defeated Zack Ryder
The USO Brothers defeated Yoshi Tatsu & Darren Young
Kelly Kelly & Beth Phoenix defeated Laycool
WWE Superstars 12/23/10 Review
This has been one hell of a week for wrestling fans, and today we'll have 2 reviews one of this show and one of Impact, followed by a Christmas edition of this week in Wrestling. I was excited to have something to do as everyone else was working or asleep on Christmas eve. I for one haven't had a job in 16 months, and don't have a Christmas tree or presents, nevermind.
Zack Ryder came out to a chorus of boos and it was hilarious. Scott Stanford and Jerry Lawler were on commentary, and aren't half bad.
DH Smith defeated Zack Ryder
DH Smith sucks. I'm just going to say it here, he has NO major charisma at this point and neither does Tyson Kidd. He might be a legacy but he's no British Bulldog. This match could've been a four star classic, but only because Zack Ryder has an over the top character. This was a very solid match up, evenly matched and not half bad. However, it wasn't until the end did I get impressed. DH Smith hit a nice Saito Suplex to put DH Smith out, and it was picture perfect. Zack needs to be on the main roster, his character draws so much heat, oh well. DH Smith wins, I think he sucks, this match wasn't terrible.
Is anyone watching NXT? I'm not.
The USO Brothers defeated Yoshi Tatsu & Darren Young
This was probably one of the worst tag team matches I've seen in a long time. The USOS worked very well as a team and Young & Tatsu just weren't very good in ring. The match wasn't too long and it was just a job match. I still think Darren Young's "I'm the missing link" was awesome, but it's been a long time since then.
Kelly Kelly & Beth Phoenix defeated Laycool
The divas main evented this night of wrestling and it wasn't too terrible. I didn't think it was as good as this past weekend's match, but the women put on a good show for the live crowd and us at home. There was a lot of back and forth action, and it wasn't until Beth Phoenix took control towards the end where this match really got good. Phoenix is so good, and she was able to get a lot of good offense in before Michelle McCool stormed the ring to save Layla. Layla got hit by McCool on accident and Phoenix hit her GlamSlam and won the match up for her team. Laycool was put to rest in this one, and it was very impressive. The divas can really put on a good wrestling show when they are given time. Even the crowd agreed.
This night of Superstars wasn't terrible, it was a good overall match up and something that I enjoyed. Hopefully you liked it if you saw it, and if not, check it out sometime, there's actually good wrestling on the show from time to time.
Whether you hate John Cena or Love John Cena, you're going to probably want to check out The John Cena Experience 3 DISC DVD set or the BLU RAY High Definition John Cena Experience. The set contains 16 matches from all over Cena's career but most importantly goes behind the scenes of his life to show you just how much effort he puts into working for the WWE. The commercial was quite interesting and the set looks like something you'd want to pick up.

JTG defeated Curt Hawkins
Zack Ryder defeated Darren Young
Drew McIntyre defeated Yoshi Tatsu
WWE Superstars 12/16/10 Review
Before I get into the review, I'd like to ask any reader out there to utilize the amazon.com links on this site to purchase items from them. I could use any help I can get in terms of making extra money, as I have no job, and there's no presents or even a tree at my house this year. We just have no money to spare. I get internet access from the library, so these reviews and shows are thanks to my local public library. If they close down, I wouldn't have a blog anymore.
And now, the review:
JTG defeated Curt Hawkins
JTG needs to get back with Shad and they need to reform their tag team. This match wasn't half bad, but the commentary and the "piped" in sounds were terrible. The match started slowly, but eventually went forward and started to pick up steam after Hawkins made this into a snooze fest. JTG has some good offense, and after hitting The Shout Out, Hawkins was put away.
This match wasn't that great, but JTG could be finally getting a push. He can talk on the mic, he has a persona, and maybe people like him enough to see him as a contender for one of the mid-card titles, maybe.
NXT looks ok this season, but I never watch, cause I can't stand internet shows.
Zack Ryder defeated Darren Young
Darren Young is really making a name for himself, and I really like him. I could see him showing up to help thwart NXT and I loved when he returned and said that he wasn't the weak link, he was the missing link, and BOOOM got taken out. I'd love to see him comeback and mop up. He's got a new hairstyle. I wanted to note that Superstars, during this match, had a different camera and it was really stupid, it was too close, and the cuts were odd, it was a weird looking thing.
The match was fast moving, and wasn't half bad. Zack Ryder hit a nice stand up neck breaker, and he continued to be his persona through out his offense. Darren Young can really take a beating, which is interesting. Ryder hit the Rough Ryder (leaping leg drop) and Darren Young once again loses. I liked the match enough, but Ryder deserves more. He should be fighting for a midcard belt too.
Drew McIntyre defeated Yoshi Tatsu
Drew McIntyre and Yoshi Tatsu were given a good amount of time, and it wasn't half bad, it was interesting and went back and forth. Drew eventually won, but it was just didn't matter, he sucks. I think he sucks, and well, Tatsu's gimmick can only get him so far. The match eventually finished and that was that, just another win.
Overall Superstars wasn't that good, it had a couple of good moments, but overall it just wasn't worth watching. I could've done without it. I wish the WWE would tie in more stories from Raw and Smackdown on to the show, and then maybe I could care more for it. As a pure wrestling show, it's not half bad, so I guess they have that going for it.
I would please ask anyone that shops on amazon.com, to use the links in the sidebar, and support this site.

WWE Tribute To The Troops 12/18/10 Review
The show started with Diddy Dirty Money doing their single...terrible.
Kofi Kingston & The Big Show defeated Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler
It's amazing to see the WWE outdoors, and more importantly to have a crowd that is so loud and appreciative of the WWE superstars. Every move was completely over with the crowd. Big Show slapped Ziggler and the crowd was louder than any arena. The bad guys tried to fight off the onslaught of Kofi and Big Show, but they were getting thrown around, to the crowd's delight, and eventually lost the battle and the match.
Trace Adkins did a "hardcore country" song, haha, he sucks.
Cedric The Entertainer did some stand up. It got a couple of laughs.
Rey Mysterio Jr, Randy Orton, and John Cena defeated Alberto Del Rio, The Miz, and Wade Barrett
Cena and the Miz started this match up and got the crowd going early. This match was really standard, but with such a strong crowd, it made it so cool to watch. I can not put into words how over John Cena is, and how much this crowd was into every single step of the match, even when tags were made and new guys went in. That being said, Orton and Mysterio were also completely over and the crowd was just amazing, it made me completely forget about all story lines and politics, and just absolutely marked out huge for everything. When Mysterio got tagged in, he was completely on, solid, and didn't miss a step at all, which was amazing, because he's not always so on point with his move set. Alex Riley got involved and helped Miz and his team get the upper hand.
Towards the end of the match the 50,000 plus crowd on hand was just completely chanting for Cena to get in the match, and when he finally made it, it was just pandamonium. Mysterio hit a double 619 on Del Rio and Barrett and an RKO and an Attitude Adjustment hit side by side caused the bad guys to go home with a loss, and the troops went nuts.

This Week In Pro Wrestling 12/18/10
This is my first and new commentary post that I will be doing each week as a way to not only add content to this blog but also run down what were the highlights in professional wrestling this week.
Memorable Moments
Raw
This week started out with the Slammy Awards edition of Raw. They said it was 3 hours, but it was really only about 2 hours and 10 minutes or so. The most memorable thing from Raw had to be John Cena and David Otunga.
John Cena defeated David Otunga in a major beat down match, and although I've seen this match before, I found that the dynamic between Nexus and Otunga seems to be the better story than just Cena getting rehired. I would love to see Wade Barrett get ousted as the leader much like NWO got split, and Nexus beat up Wade Barrett, turning him into the ultimate good guy along Cena...the unlikely team. A swerve angle might work there too, but Cena not trusting the new Wade would be interesting to say the least.
David Arquette coming back was interesting for me, although many people didn't see the point. It was a nice throwback, if you ask me, and from what I read about the backstage reaction, many people liked him.
Superstars
Zack Ryder defeated Darren Young in an interesting match. If you missed it, than you are not in the minority at else. Supserstars is not exactly the A list show and the ratings for it are terrible. I managed to see it, and out of all the wrestling this week, I think I enjoyed this match too much for my own good.
TNA Impact
Jay Lethal and Robbie E put on one hell of a match. I actually loved it so much and what made it better than their ppv match was the fact that Christy Hemme ran down to help Jay Lethal. Hemme is hot, I'd love to meet her and she seems like she would have a lot of energy and would chat my ear off. Jay Lethal recapturing the X-Division title was a good thing, but where TNA will go with the title and whether there will be a follow up to the Shark Boy thing at the ppv, time will only tell.
WWE Smackdown
The Miz and Rey Mysterio really put on a show in the middle of the card. I enjoyed that match greatly and they booked it to make Miz seem a lot smarter than his "vulnerable" champion gimmick that he said the WWE was trying to push him. Mysterio is still very popular with the whole crowd, and despite losing, he came out on top, especially later on in the night.
I'm glad to see the WWE finishing the Edge and Kane angle, and hopefully their feud is done, because it has been terrible.
Best Match of the Week
The best match of this week was definitely Robbie E vs. Jay Lethal for the X-Division title. It wasn't a four star classic, but I think it had some good overall wrestling, a great superplex, and controlling cookie was rad. I think the feud could have a little more to it, but time will tell.
The rest of the week in wrestling wasn't that memorable to me, and while there was some solid wrestling, it's forgettable.
Old School Thoughts
For some reason, I was thinking about Kevin Sullivan. Remember him? I remember he had this awesome match at Bash at the Beach 1997 in which he fought Chris Benoit. Benoit and Him transformed real heat backstage into a great retirement match in which Kevin Sullivan truly left wrestling. It's one of my all time favorite matches, and props to Kevin Sullivan for staying away from the wrestling world after he lost the match.
Just look at the promo package between the two, holy crap...the two went fist to fist at one point at Nitro and one can only assume there was real anger for those strikes.
Wrestling Shop
For those of you that have extra change and would like to find something cool to buy that's wrestling related, consider purchasing The Rise and Fall of WCW on Dvd. It features a full documentary of WCW good and bad and some great matches from the WCW era past and present. It's an interesting one, and worth your time. You can buy it here.
