ECW tried hard. They really wanted to sell us fans that Test was a true competitor for the title giving him three identical shots at it. What did we get out of the matchups? Lashley retaining, Test losing, and arguably the worst PPV ending ever. The seven minute match at the Royal Rumble failed us in every way possible but if that wasn’t enough we needed a third match last night.
Needless to say, Test lost again and Lashley retained. The match was same old same old but it got mildly interesting when Undertaker showed up but who really thinks he …read more

In another “why in the world?” move ECW has announced that tonight main event will be yet again Test v. Lashley for the ECW title. Why ECW set this up after TEst left the ring at the Rumble I have no idea but I just pray someone gets involved or that there is anoter stipulation added to this match.
Mr. McMahon will make his first appearance on the “New Breed” tonight in a apparent continuation of Fan Appreciation Night from last night’s Raw. Not sure what he will bring to ECW but I sure hope it’s some excitement.
Kelly Kelly is expected …read more

Raw last night was off the wall. They did a great job setting up some new storylines (finally) and I can’t look forward to the next few weeks as more and more becomes known about wrestlemania.
First of all lets get to the non-wrestling action of the show. As I said before hand last night was Mr. McMahon fan appreciation night and to commemorate to occasion he autographed his picture from the cover of Muscle and Fitness magazine. Donald Trump then appeared on the screen of the arena to declare that Vince wasn’t giving fans what they wanted, value in the form …read more

So what will be going down at the first Raw since the Rumble? Well since no one from Raw won the Royal Rumble and its accompanying spot in Wrestlemania nothing is set for WWE’s flagship show. As I expected Shawn Michaels was the runner-up in last nights Rumble and although he is not guaranteed a spot in the rumble I would expect to see him get involved for the WWE title.
Cena took down Umaga meaning their feud is over?!?! Whether it is over or not will play a big role in what goes down from here to Wrestlemania but I …read more

With Royal Rumble, arguably the most important WWE PPV since it sets up most of the years storylines takes place tonight in San Antonio. Here is your previews and predictions for all of the matches:
The Hardys v. MNM
This fight has been in the makings since before Armageddon when Nitro and Jeff Hardy were going back and forth for the IC title. Armageddon directly set this match up when a botched ladder move busted Mercurys face open and the rest is history. Expect a good match here with the Hardys being rather experienced and high flying wrestlers not to mention that …read more

Last nights SmackDown actually left an impression for once and went up a notch in my book. The writers of the show have been shifted in recent weeks and although I usually don’t follow the writers all that close whoever is behind to new SmackDown episodes started off pretty good.
Batista took on Gregory Helms in a non-title match with Batista coming out on top after hitting the Batista bomb. Later in the night Mr. Kennedy took to the mic to defend his skills and reiterate that he will win at the Rumble this weekend. Batista came to the ring to …read more

Tonight SmackDown will probably go a long way in setting up not only the potential winner at royal rumble but also to set up feuds that will last all the way to Wrestlemania in 2+ months.
Tonights main event will be the six man over the top challenge between MVP, Kane, Chris Benoit, Finlay, The Miz, and King Booker although spoilers indicate there will be a seventh participant in the match.
Other matches for tonight include an non-title match between Gregory Helms and Batista, Chris Benoit against Miz, and King Booker vs. Finlay. These matches are all made to hype the Royal …read more

Now I know there have been many moves in the past that the WWE has made that leave viewers thinking “What?!?!” but this may just take the cake. After announcing a flurry of competitors all at once and then slowly adding to the list as though they were hyping something the last and final competitor in the 30-man rumble is Super Crazy. I was bracing for it to be a real shocking announcement but Super Crazy, give me a break. Here are all 30 competitors for this Sunday’s Royal Rumble:
Shelton Benjamin
Chris Benoit
Carlito
Tommy Dreamer
Kenny Dykstra
Edge
Finlay
Ric Flair
Chavo Guerrero
Jeff Hardy
Matt Hardy
Gregory Helms
Hardcore Holly
Kane
King …read more

Bobby Lashley beat Test in last nights ECW main event in what was one of the most boring matches and pretty much takes everything away from the Royal Rumble match. I mean the match was expected after Test beat Lashley down after last weeks match but they could have at least waited to have the rematch at Royal Rumble.
Anyways, Test tried to use the turnbuckle on Lashley but he avoided it and eventually speared Test in return to get the win. I am not sure how Hardcore Holly fits into all of this but I guess he has reached main …read more
