Tonight is the WWE 2008 Draft (see photo of Draft Horses) and it couldn’t have come at a better time. RAW and SmackDown have descended into a long period of stagnation. Every week we get the same matches, the same winners, and the same losers. Things are changing tonight with a special three hour RAW. There have been no telling spoilers regarding the event and it seems not even the wrestlers themselves no if they are changing brands or not.
We’re not going to make any predictions but we are going to make a list of ten changes we would …read more

Don’t get me wrong, I actually enjoyed last night’s RAW. However, this month’s community blog post here at b5 media is “The Worst” so I’ll be scouring each match and segment on RAW to determine what was “The Worst”. I’ll also balance it with “The Best”.
Segment winners in italics. At the end of the article we’ll crown our definitive Worst and Best of the June 2 WWE Monday Night RAW.
SEGMENT #1
Triple H, John Cena, Jeff Hardy and Vince McMahon discuss who will face HHH at the Night of Champions.
The Worst Nominees: HHH’s theme music (always bad); HHH making fun …read more

Yesterday I made some bold predictions. Let’s see how I did.
PREDICTIONS:
MATCH #1
Falls Count Anywhere
Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga
my choice: Jeff Hardy
my odds: Umaga 2 to 1 favorite
how did I do: Most predictors around the world wide web had Umaga winning this one but I wasn’t so sure. I thought the anything goes style favored the quick and unpredictable Hardy rather than the brutish plodding force of Umaga. As it turned out I was right. The match seemed more like a Bam Margera video than a wrestling match and spent very little time in the ring itself. The out-of-shape Umaga must have …read more

MATCH #6
Last Man Standing Match For The WWE Championship
Triple H vs. Randy Orton
Result: Triple H wins with a sledgehammer (yes) hit.
Match Grade: B+. Good match which ended early presumably because of a real injury to Orton. The announcing team is saying a broken collarbone and we have no reason to disagree.
Commentary:
Is this match ever going to start? Finally, after an eternity of intros the bell has rung and HHH gets to work quickly slamming Orton into seemingly everything …read more

PREDICTIONS:
TLC Match For The WWE World Heavyweight Championship

my choice: Undertaker
my odds: Taker 1000 to 1 favorite
Last Man Standing Match For The WWE Championship
Triple H vs. Randy Orton
my choice: Triple H but I’m really rooting for Orton here.
my odds: HHH 3 to 1 favorite
First Blood Match
John Cena vs. John “Bradshaw” Layfield
my choice: John Cena
my odds: Cena 5 to 2 favorite
Stretcher Match
Shawn Michaels vs. Batista
my choice: Shawn Michaels
my odds: Michaels 5 to 2 favorite
Falls Count Anywhere
Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga
my choice: Jeff Hardy
my odds: Umaga 2 to 1 favorite
Singapore Cane Match
Big Show vs. …read more

We at www.jabandgrapple.com enjoy the WWE character Santino Marella a great deal. Often his comedic talent and hilarious malaprops overshadow his ample wrestling skills. We’re not thrilled about his feud with Jimmy Kimmel’s Cousin Sal but assured that that side story only has about two more weeks of life.
So when we saw he was the subject of the Baltimore Sun’s Ring Posts blog’s most recent Q&A we were ecstatic and eager to find out what Santino’s like outside of the WWE. No such luck there. Santino does the whole interview IN CHARACTER! Considering Beth Phoenix’s recent in-character interview to …read more

Live Blogging Memorial Day Monday Night Raw

Match One
Melina def. Jillian Hall
Melina enters the ring doing her signature full split under the bottom rope and makes Hall submit with a indescribably flexible reverse camel clutch-type thing. Oh. My. Heavens. Beth Phoenix, who was interviewed in character today in the Miami Herald sits at ringside with JR and contributes little.
After the match Y2J and Vince McMahon agree on another Y2J – Shawn Michaels match tonight which puts a huge smile on our face. Then they engage in assorted non sequiturs while Cryme Tyme steals a cheap portrait of Queen Elizabeth II off …read more

Monday Night Raw Match Two:
Beth Phoenix vs. Maria
Diva Melina has already stolen the show. How so. Let us count the ways:
1) She’s done an astounding split in front of JR and Jerry Lawler and then joins them in the announcing booth.
2) Quote: “I will not do Playboy, I’m not that type of girl.”
3) Quote: “I made it through a three way at Judgment Day and I’m still here.”
4) Quote: “Beth Phoenix blows up my phone every time she needs a partner.”
5) Quote: “She knows I’m great at …read more

Match Seven:
Randy Orton vs. Triple H
Cage coming down! Both men climb to the top of the cage and pose. The match starts. Stomp stomp choke hold choke hold headlock headlock punch punch.
Result: Triple H pins Orton and keeps the title.
Match Six:
MVP vs. Jeff Hardy
Surprise match. Big Show vs. Mark Henry evidently isn’t happening.
Result: Jeff Hardy pins MVP.
Match Five:
The Undertaker vs. Edge
Lots of outside the ring action here. Can he legally choke slam Edge if it’s not in technically done “in the ring”? Probably not. Turnbuckle exposed. Can George “The Animal” Steele be far away? Oh no he didn’t! Oh …read more
