I have decided that I may stop writing these blogs. After 5 and a bit months and 76 blogs I have decided that I am just wasting my time. I am not aware if anyone is reading these, other than a couple of friends, I also did it in hope that someone would read it, like it, and decided to pass it on.
So let’s just say thanks to you have read but I am now calling it quits. If you do read and you want me to continue let me know and I may keep going but for now this is it.
I still love WWE and would love to be more involved in wrestling, heck I would love a job in it but its one of them dreams that could never come true.
Anyway this is for the final time, Matty.D signing off.

Night of the Viper!
Last night saw a great Night of Champions, 4 championships in total changed hands and a future legend left our screens once again.
The main event of the night was the six pack match. It was the number one match of the night and looked to be great and we weren’t disappointed.
The road to this match has been an interesting one and it came to a great end on this night.
The six men came to the ring and the announcer introduced them all one by one to add to the build up.
The match then kicked off and within 90 seconds the first elimination shocked us all. Jericho received an RKO and was pinned to be the first eliminated. A shocked audience looked on and the match came to a halt as Jericho made a slow exit. The crowd chanted Y2J in respect as Jericho made his final exit as his contract has now ended, and he moves on to focus on his music and TV career (or even TNA).
Once the moment had past Wade Barrett found himself on the opposite side of a beating once again as he is surrounded by the remaining competitors in this match. The match went on for a further 15 minuets before our next elimination. Edge was next fall after team work with Sheamus he fell to the hand of Cena.
The Nexus soon made themselves known distracting Cena and allowing Wade to eliminate him.
Wade looked to target Randy next but Cena attacked the Nexus with a chair and Randy took down the Brit leaving us with 2.
Orton and Sheamus were the last two left and it looked like Orton was done for as he received a kick to the head, but to a great ovation Orton was able to kick out of the pin, this lead to an RKO allowing Randy to pick up the win and to pick up the WWE Championship.
Now that may have been the best match of the night but it wasn’t the only one that was great.
Another one of my favourite matches of the night was the US Championship match between Miz and Bryan. It was a great bout that saw for the most Bryan on losing end of the match, but Bryan was able to fight the odds and Miz fell to Bryans LeBell lock. Bryan walks away holding the US Title.
Bryan has gone from an Indi star, to NXT, to being fired from WWE, to returning and now US Champion. It’s amazing how far he has come in such a short time.
The other match that impressed was Taker vs. Kane, even in the age of PG the two monsters were still able to put on a pretty stellar match. The two fought all over the arena as well as the ring. Kane was the superior competitor as Taker was still playing on a weakened state; Kane left the match still holding the World Title. We will most probably see this battle spill into Hell in a Cell in just two weeks time.
The Intercontinental championship stayed in the hands of Dolph Ziggler as he won in the opening contest.
The Divas and Women’s championships made a home with LayCool as Michelle won with help of Layla. The match wasn’t anything special.
For the Tag team contest WWE threw together a Tag Team Turmoil, basically a tag team gauntlet match. The Hart Dynasty first went against the Uso’s, The Harts were eliminated first guaranteeing new champions, next was Santino and Kozlov, the Uso’s made short work of them. Next was thrown together team of Mark Henry and Evan Bourn, they eliminated the Uso’s. Lastly was Drew and Cody and it was obvious that they was going to win which they did taking the Tag Titles to SmackDown!
Big Show did go against Punk in a short match that was very unimpressive. The storyline between these two has died and I think both Show and Punk need to move on to other stories.
Overall the PPV was damn good and I did enjoy it all the way through I give NOC 4 out 5 stars. The Sun also enjoyed the show giving it 8.5 out of 10.
Chris Jericho isn’t the only one to of left WWE screens as Matt Hardy seems to of also quit. He may be heading over to TNA with his brother Jeff to reunite the Hardy Boys tag team, those two together on TNA screens is actually very promising prospect and if it happens I may have to start watching some TNA.
I look forward to Raw tonight to find out what is next for Orton and Bryan as new champions. An interesting match I think will be Daniel Bryan in his first Hell in a Cell in 2 weeks time; unfortunately WWE can’t put on a good Hell in a Cell match in today’s era.
That’s all till tomorrow Matty.D signing off.

NOC This Sunday!
Fridays SmackDown! Was the last show before this Sundays PPV, and it was a good show again, another relief after another awful NXT. Even WWE must know that it is awful as they had Michael Cole leave the show at the end of it, and MVP recently spoke out about NXT being so awful.
Anyway let’s get onto SmackDown!
It was another good show with some great matches. We started off with Christians Peep Show, his guest being Alberto Del Rio. Christian challenged Del Rio to a match at NOC but Del Rio declined, even after receiving a slap round the face his answer was still no.
We then head into our first match of the night and it was a good one. The WWE tag champs The Hart Dynasty came across from Raw to take on the team of Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes.
The match was good and was tight, it came down to witch team worked best together and this time around it was Drew and Cody that worked well and won the match.
The tag champs will be defending at NOC but we do not know who it will be against yet, but after that match it’s looking like Drew and Cody will be taking that spot.
Kofi Kingston then went up against Jack Swagger in the best match of the night. It was the longest match of the show, Kofi used his high flying and Jack used his ground game to make a very good contest. It was another tight match but Kofi picked up the win.
At NOC Kofi will be taking on Dolph Ziggler once again for the IC Title.
Next was a small segment to continue the quest for Hornswoggle to speak. Funny but unneeded.
We then had the Co-Women’s Champs go up against Kelly Kelly and Rosa Mendes.
Better than the last Divas match I spoke about but not that great either, LayCool took the win.
Later backstage LayCool decided who will go on to face Melina by pulling a name out of a hat. Michelle’s name was pulled out so it seems that she will be going to face Melina. After Michelle had left Kaval and Layla realise that all the paper in the hat said Michelle. Looks like Layla may be leaving McCool high and dry.
CM Punk then went up against Christian, and Del Rio sat at ringside. The match was another good performance. Nearing the end Del Rio got up and spoke to Christian via microphone causing a distraction allowing Punk to nail the GTS and winning the match. Del Rio then took a chair and sat over Christian and said that his answer is still no.
Big Show soon came to the ring beating on Punk as Del Rio made his escape.
Last thing of the night was Kane’s response to Taker.
Kane came to the ring and spoke to the crowd and accepted Takers offer to make the match at NOC No Holds Bard.
If this was about 1 or 2 years ago I would be pumped for this match, two of the biggest names taking it to the limit with all they have got, around the arena, weapons involved making it one hell of a match, but in today’s PG rated WWE it will be nothing special, nothing that we haven’t seen before.
After Kane accepted Taker made his way to the ring but before he got there lights went out, when they raised again Kane was behind Taker. Kane and Taker fought but it was Kane who stood tall. After using the moves that Taker would use to finish his opponent Kane bowed the Undertaker Bow and flames shot from the ring posts and ending the show.
This show really got me pumped up for Sunday and I am looking forward to most of the matches that will be shown.
Now let’s have a look at that final match card:
Divas and Women’s Championship Unification Lumberjill match
Melina vs. LayCool (most likely to be Michelle)
WWE Tag Team Championship Match
The Hart Dynasty vs. TBD
Big Show vs. CM Punk
Intercontinental Championship
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston
US Championship
Miz vs. Daniel Bryan
World Heavyweight Championship No Holds Bard
Kane vs. Undertaker
WWE Championship Six Pack Elimination Match
Sheamus vs. Chris Jericho vs. John Cena vs. Edge vs. Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett
Out that lot I am look forward to the US Championship match, the Six Pack match and the Tag team match should be quite interesting.
NOC will be on SkySports1 and SkySports1HD this Sunday/Monday at 1am.
In other news Matt Hardy has been having a lot of issues across the internet regarding many different things and it looks like he may be leaving WWE and possibly following in the footsteps of his brother Jeff. Instead of me trying to explain it all on here head over to the Sun website and have a read of there article.

No More NXT Blogs
This is my last NXT blog. Due to the s*tnes of this new season of NXT I do not see no more reason to write about it. When NXT improves or in a new season I will gladly write about it. But I refuse to write about something that is such a fail. So from now on I will only be writing about SmackDown!, Raw, and PPVs.
Sorry NXT Divas you may be hot, but is that show you’re on any good?
Like hell it is!
Matty.D Singing off.

Raw Smashes Tables!
Well where do I start? A lot happened on Raw in a very good show, one of the best shows I’ve seen in weeks, so let’s just go from beginning to end.
It saw the return of Raw roulette, unfortunately it was pretty obvious that the wheel was rigged to bring up particular matches for each spin, and for some we didn’t see the wheels result, we was just told what it apparently said.
Even with this the show was still good, it gave the WWE a chance to step out of the box, and put on more exciting matches. I hope they take the hint from the crowd’s reactions and the fans at home, on what sort of shows they should be putting on.
The first spin of the wheel was to decide what match John Cena and Randy Orton would have in the main event later in the night.
The wheel stopped on Tables match, creating a contest that is out of Raw’s recent style.
We then moved to the ring to see our guest host of the night, Cincinnati Bengals Wide Receiver, Chad Ochocinco. He came to the ring to promote his team, the NFL, and his own reality TV show. He was interrupted by the Miz who compared himself to Ochocinco, he then moved to insulting him.
The wheel was then span to decide Miz’s match. The wheel spin landed on Submission match. The Raw GM then said that Chad can pick Miz’s opponent, we obviously knew that he would pick Daniel Bryan, which he did.
After an Ad break we jumped straight into the action as Bryan and Miz fought, interestingly as well Miz had his “Apprentice” Alex Riley at ring side. (Looks like the former NXT Rookie will still be making his way into the WWE mainstream.)
During the match after Miz was able to break free of Bryans LeBell Lock via a rope break, Miz acted as if he was in pain, he took a microphone and claimed that he may have a hernia and that he can no longer compete to make sure he is able to compete at NOC. As the ring announcer was about to announce that Miz has forfeited, Miz halted him. He said that he wasn’t forfeiting, he then asked for Riley to take his place.
Riley jumped in the ring and continued the match, he didn’t last long though as Bryan locked in the LeBell Lock once again causing Riley to tap. Miz took his chance to try and beat on Bryan but was soon locked in to the LeBell Lock also and was tapping lick crazy. Bryan kept hold of his lock smiling out into the crowd until the refs came down and forced him off. A great segment and a great bit of story telling.
Before an ad break Edge was shown spinning the wheel to decide his match but we never saw what it landed on as the ads commenced before it stopped.
When we returned Edge was in the ring and his opponent Evan Bourn came to the ring, it was then announced that there match will be a body slam contest.
The match was short but good; there was a moment where Evan struck Edge cleanly in the side of the head with well placed kick. Edge picked up the win, even with his win though he was still not done as he speared Evan.
The Raw GM was not pleased with that spear and decided to make Edge compete in a second body slam contest with the Worlds Strongest Man Mark Henry, (who if I am honest looks like he may have put on a few pounds). The match didn’t last long and Mark took the easy win.
R-Truth with Eve and Ted DiBiase with Maryse went head to head in a song and dance contest apparently chosen by the Roulette wheel. This was a chance for R-Truth to debut his new rock/rap track called “Krunk”.
Ted then did his own rendition of “My Way”. Truth and Eve were declared the winners but all broke into a fight.
The wheel then chose the next match between Sheamus and Morrison to be a falls count anywhere match.
Before the match we saw Morrison training backstage, he showed his skills in Parkour also known as Free Running making it obvious that he may use it in his match.
The match was great and Morrison did use some of his Parkour abilities. The match led all the way up to the titantron which Morrison ended up climbing and jumping off of. Morrison was fighting for a spot in the Six Pack match replacing Jericho. After that jump though Jericho appeared with a steel chair and used it on Morrison allowing Sheamus to pick up the win.
After the Ad break we returned to Jericho sitting in the ring, he said he wasn’t going to move until he got what he wants which is to be put back in the match at NOC. He also said that if he didn’t get what he wanted he would quit and also track down the GM. The GM finally mailed in to try and throw Jericho off sent by acting like Vince McMahon. Jericho didn’t fall for it. The GM then mailed in again and Cole was only able to read the first line which was saying that he will put Jericho back in the match before Jericho interrupted.
He then mailed again to say “never interrupt me again”, he then finished off. He said that Jericho is back in if he can beat the Hart Dynasty in a Handicap match, in the steel cage that is hanging above the ring, and that match was to happen next. Jericho of cores protested and complained mainly because he was wearing a suit and he also badgered Cole for the identity of the GM. I am guessing soon we will have the GM reviled.
Another Ad break and we return to Jericho in the cage getting beaten on by the Harts. They did there double team move and then started to scale the cage. Jericho was able to chase after Tyson stopping his escape while on the other side Smith left the cage. This of cores means that the match is only half won, as both Tyson and Smith have to escape, or one has to make Jericho submit or pin him to win, so this meant that the match had to continue.
Tyson and Jericho put on a great one on one contest; it may have been (in my eyes) the best match Tyson has had on WWE TV. Now the result of this match was obvious but the rout to that result was a great one. The ending move was Jericho Jumping from the Turnbuckle holding Tyson Kid and going into the Walls to force the tap. When this move happened I cringe as it was almost a Pile Driver.
So as I motioned last week Jericho has wormed his way back into the Six Pack which was also announced to now be an Elimination style match.
Earlier in the night Regal spun the wheel to decide his match against Goldust. The match was reviled to be a trading places match where the two superstars swap outfits. The match was short but was slightly humorous. Goldust won by using the brass knuckles like Regal has used in the past.
We now headed into the final contest, Randy Orton vs. John Cena in one of my personal favourite styled matches, the Table match.
The match was great and the two fought hard for a while before the Nexus finely emerged (minus Skip Sheffield who is still out on injury). Once to the ring the Nexus took control but was unable to get either Cena or Orton threw a table, in fact the first to land on a table was Heath Slater who flew from the ring onto a table on the outside and landed well making it look great, Tarver and Otunga had already been sorted with an AA and a RKO. Next up to go threw a table was Justin Gabriel, he climbed the top rope and was getting ready to 450 splash Cena threw a table who had just received Wade Barrett’s Wasteland, Gabriel was then pushed off by Orton sending him into another table that was sitting on the outside.
Orton was then able to wiggle out of Wades finisher and pushing from the apron was able to send him threw a table as well leaving Orton to stand tall. Orton then moved to continue the match but was soon attacked by Edge and Jericho. Orton was able to get the upper hand and redirected a Spear meant for him and sent into Jericho and into table that was perched in the corner.
Sheamus then came to the ring and booted Cena from the apron he then went outside but ended up receiving an AA to the mats. It was now back to just Orton and Cena, the two tussled until Cena had Orton on his shoulders and was going to send him threw a table but as Cena threw him over Orton was able to grab Cena turning it into an RKO instead and winning the match as it caused Cena to go threw the table.
This left Orton as the last man standing once again, the Viper is on a rampage and is there anyway to stop him?
After the match I described Orton as a tough warrior, the man at the front of the army ready to go, and when the dust is cleared its Orton who is left standing.
Well overall I thought this was a great show, not a bad match for the whole night, I can’t even say that the Regal, Goldust match was bad, it was just silly.
This show has got me pumped for NOC this Sunday, and I am looking forward to the Six Pack Elimination match.
Now that’s two good shows in a row, can they go three for three? Or will NXT be another fail? To find out give it a watch this week or just read my blog this Friday.
Till then this is Matty.D signing off.

Orton was able to get the upper hand and redirected a Spear meant for him and sent into Jericho and into table that was perched in the corner.
Sheamus then came to the ring and booted Cena from the apron he then went outside but ended up receiving an AA to the mats. It was now back to just Orton and Cena, the two tussled until Cena had Orton on his shoulders and was going to send him threw a table but as Cena threw him over Orton was able to grab Cena turning it into an RKO instead and winning the match as it caused Cena to go threw the table.
This left Orton as the last man standing once again, the Viper is on a rampage and is there anyway to stop him?
After the match I described Orton as a tough warrior, the man at the front of the army ready to go, and when the dust is cleared its Orton who is left standing.
Well overall I thought this was a great show, not a bad match for the whole night, I can’t even say that the Regal, Goldust match was bad, it was just silly.
This show has got me pumped for NOC this Sunday, and I am looking forward to the Six Pack Elimination match.
Now that’s two good shows in a row, can they go three for three? Or will NXT be another fail? To find out give it a watch this week or just read my blog this Friday.
Till then this is Matty.D signing off.

Kaval Debuts!
After that awful NXT show earlier in the week I needed something to put some faith back in the company I have stood by for years even in its lows and through its highs.
Well I am happy to say that SmackDown! Done the job.
This weeks SmackDown! Didn’t see a bad match or promo as each one fit there stories, or worked on there characters and all of it kept us entertained.
We started off with a good promo form the Undertaker and CM Punk as the two were booked to go head to head later in the night.
Taker spoke about his match at NOC with Kane to help promote the match and the PPV. He also moved to suggest that the match be a No Holds Bard match. After that announcement CM Punk came out to talk about the Undertakers current downward spiral, Taker just described Punk as his next victim.
In-between that opening Promo and the main event between Punk and Taker we had a series of great matches.
We had Jack Swagger vs. MVP in a standard match, much better than the match they had couple weeks back.
Jack Swagger took the match by making MVP Tap to the Ankle Lock.
Alberto Del Rio took on Matt Hardy in a very good contest. Del Rio is starting to grow on me, I am not a big fan of his Character but his in ring abilities are great and his finishing manoeuvre is impressive.
Del Rio won the match with his Arm Bar. After the win though he continued to try and punish Hardy, Christian soon came to his aid and was able to make Del Rio flee the ring.
Earlier in the show we had a great backstage promo from LayCool and Kaval, LayCool argued about who would be facing Melina at NOC and Kaval attempted to be the voice of reason. The promo was funny and well performed.
After the Del Rio match Kaval had his debuting match against Drew McIntyre. The match was my favourite of the show. Kaval shined through out the match showing why he won NXT, both Drew and Kaval performed well. Kaval looked to be the one to win this until Drew turned the tables on Kaval turning a huracanrana into a Power Bomb on the outside of the ring, Kaval hit the mats hard and banged his head on the barrier. Drew was then able to get Kaval to the ring and nail his DDT to end the match.
It was unfortunate to see Kaval lose on his first match official match but at least he put on a great performance. Once he starts getting some wins under his belt, building up a good storyline and developing his character we should see him cash in his Title shot at a PPV.
Kofi Kingston tagged up with Chris Masters to take on Dolph Ziggler and Chavo. Before the Superstars came to the ring Vicki had her NXT rookie make an introduction but once again Vicki just shouted at her. I am hoping that Kaitlin will rebel against Vicki; it seems like her style of character as she described herself as a bit of a rebel child.
The match was good it saw Masters and Kofi take the win.
Big Show cut a promo backstage pushing on his latest personality. He has taken the roll of a more comical face character most probably matching the character he is playing in his film Knuckle head. In the promo he acted out Josh Matthews in a way of interviewing himself. It was rather humorous and made me chuckle.
We then headed in to the last match of the night as Taker took on Punk. The match was brilliant even with Taker still acting ill. The match was a close one, Taker nailed a Choke Slam on Punk and looked to be over but Punk kicked out, Punk was then able to get the GTS. He collapsed from weakness and slowly crawled to the cover but as soon as he got to Taker the Devils Gate closed on Punk and he tapped out giving Taker the win. After the match taker did his usual bow and the lights went purple but then the lights went red and flames blew out the corners, we then just heard Kane’s demotic laugh to end the show.
A great show that made me feel better after NXT. Great matches and Promos I don’t think I can find a bad thing to say about this which is always a good thing. I want to see more from Kaval and some further development in the Dolph Ziggler storyline and more from Del Rio.
Raw this week will hopefully see who will be added to the Six Pack match at NOC and we may see what will be happening with Jericho. There has been a lot of talk and articles around the web about Jericho’s future with the company which may still be undecided.
Don’t forget to watch 2am Monday night.

NXT3… FAIL!!
Well I think the title of this blog says it all really. I was actually looking forward to getting home from my nightshift; sitting back and watching some good female wrestlers get in the ring and fight.
Unfortunately I was bitterly disappointed. After the opening intros which took way to long we ended up with a lame dance challenge, which Naomi won. We then had the first match from these rookies as Naomi and Kelly Kelly went against Maxine and Alicia Fox. Match was reasonable but I have seen better from female wrestlers in the past. The end of the match was a mess; Naomi got a 3 count but it wasn’t the moment that the match was meant to end. After the bell had rung Naomi and Maxine continued to do the ending that was meant to finish the match. Naomi did a Suplex (must be her finisher) and rolled into a pin but of cores the match was already finished.
We then had another challenge this time being capture the flag. Naomi also won that making her 3 for 3.
We then had our second match which was AJ and Primo vs. Goldust and Aksana. Once again this match had a failed ending, AJ came in to do her finisher but neither her or Aksana was able to complete it, they ended up in just a tangled mess. AJ decided to go for the move again this time nailing it and finishing the match.
At the beginning of the show Vicki reviled her new rookie to be a girl called Kaitlin. She stood out to me but not because she looks like a wrestler I think it’s just because she looks very attractive to me. Vicki bosses her around like a small child or a dog. Vicki also didn’t like the way Kaitlin introduced herself at the beginning of the show, and had asked her to do it again. After the last match she dragged Kaitlin to the ring and was going to make her do the intro one more time. Not happy about Vicki raining on AJ’s celebration AJ insulted Vicki, Vicki then asked Kaitlin to “sickum” as if she was a dog. Kaitlin was then shoved onto Vicki who just screamed in a very crazy manner. This odd segment ended the show.
My thoughts are that this is going to be a stupid and rubbish season, and after watching it I could only find one word to describe it, FAIL!

Jericho out of the Six Pack
Raw this week was an improvement to recent weeks but still could have been better.
The main subject is the fact that Jericho is now out of the six pack challenge. As Jericho and Edge walked away from the Tag Team match last week, the GM thought to punish them.
Both would go into one on one matches against an opponents of the GM’s choice, (although Edge tried his best to convince the GM to choose Zack Ryder to be his opponent he still got Khali.) and if Jericho or Edge lost they would be out of the Six Pack Match at NOC.
Jericho was first up and he went against John Morrison in a very good match, it ended in star ship pain to Jericho which leads to the 1-2-3, which took Jericho out of the WWE Championship match at NOC.
His replacement is looking to possibly be John Morrison that’s if Jericho doesn’t worm his way back in. We also do not know if Jericho will be sticking around as he had already vowed that if he didn’t win the WWE Title, he would leave WWE. When back stage Josh Matthews asked Jericho what would be next for him, he just sat in silence but the crowd may have answered on his behalf as someone chanted TNA in response, which is a very strong possibility.
Edge took on the Great Khali and won via count out, the GM was not pleased by this win and restarted the match making it a No DQ over the top rope challenge.
The match was lame and badly performed, there was a moment where Edge left the ring via going through the ropes and Khali went in pursuit by stepping over the top rope. Michael Cole did the best work on commentary at that moment, as he pointed out the fact that Khali should now be eliminated yet the ref had not called it. The second time he went to do the step over Edge grabbed his leg and pulled him down; it was then that the Ref called it.
We had two other matches in relation to the WWE Title storyline as John Cena took on Justin Gabriel and Wade Barrett faced Randy Orton.
Cena and Gabriel put on a great contest. Gabriel was the one I wanted to win NXT1 and in this match he was showing why I wanted him to win.
Gabriel did lose after receiving an AA from the top rope.
Wade and Randy’s match had a special stipulation; the winner will face John Cena next week.
For this match Edge, Cena and Sheamus sat at ringside with Cole and Jerry.
Another good match with an interesting ending, as Wade was taking some control some unfamiliar entrance music played, we looked to see Darren Young come out, his music stopped and he spoke to Wade about being kicked out of Nexus. This was the distraction that Orton needed, Wade turned around to just see the Fangs of an RKO. Once Orton had the win he ushered Young to the ring with a smile as if he was going to congratulate the man. Young happily entered the ring, Orton then proceeded to thank Young by giving him an RKO as well. Sheamus then took a chance but also received the Vipers sting, Edge soon followed. Cena entered the ring but the two did not butt heads as they stared each other down to end the show.
During the night we also had the creation of another highly anticipated match for NOC.
The Miz cut a promo to revile his first ever WWE Magazine cover, we also had a look back at his career from a reality TV star all the way to now being US Champ and Mr. Money in the Bank, as well as being on the front cover of a WWE Mag.
Daniel Bryan then came to the ring making the Promo even more interesting, he told us some stuff about his career and challenged Miz to a US championship match at NOC, Miz accepted and then went on the attack but Bryan was able to take advantage and lock in his Submission. We then had former NXT Rookie Alex Riley come flying through the crowd and attack Bryan allowing Miz to escape, Bryan then locked in the Submission on Riley and smiled at Miz as Riley tapped constantly.
This will be a match I am really looking forward to.
The only other match of the night was a Diva match between Melina and Alicia Fox which Melina won with ease.
Recently I’ve been seeing these Divas matches as a Deleted scene. When making a movie or a TV show you have got to consider weather or not the Scenes move the story forward, if it doesn’t then there is no need for it and it becomes a deleted scene. I learnt that from a YouTuber called Freddie Wong, maybe WWE should take the hint also, and not waste our time with unneeded matches.
Overall a good show and better than previous weeks but they still need improving. More and more people are switching off WWE and making there way to TNA, or not watching wrestling at all. If I ask someone about Wrestling they will either say that they watch TNA, because WWE has gone down hill or that they stopped watching after the Attitude Era ended. Yes WWE may have a strong following from there younger audience but since when was Wrestling aimed at the younger crowd. But this is something that has been covered on numerous occasions and I don’t think I should repeat myself.
Anyway that’s all for now.

NXT Diva already dropped and SmackDown! rundown.
Before I get into SmackDown! I would like to inform you all of the recent drop of one of the new NXT Divas.
The most stand out diva of the lot, the 6’9 Amazon of a woman has already been fired from NXT.
WWE’s website posted that Vicki fired Aloisia over disagreements they were having. Of cores I doubt this is the true reason to why this diva has been dropped from the show before it’s even started, but nothing else has been posted on the matter.
Also Kaval and LayCool are booked to appear on Raw, Kaval may be joining the Bryan, Miz storyline. Will we see Kaval go for US gold or maybe even Tag with Bryan for Tag Team gold?
Anyway now to SmackDown! Which wasn’t to amazing yet again. Both Raw and SmackDown! Have fallen over the last few weeks, storylines are getting stale and boring.
We started the show with Mexican JBL, Alberto Del Rio. He had the ring all set out like he was having a party. This is his way of him celebrating the beat down he gave Rey the week before.
He was interrupted by Christian who came to mock Del Rio even comparing him to JBL.
Christian challenged Del Rio even though Christian had a match already scheduled. Del Rio refused and made his exit. It was then that Drew McIntyre attacked Christian from behind to get kicked off for our first match of the night.
Drew and Christian went on in a solid bout but nothing to amazing. Christian won with a quick roll up.
We then had a short match between McCool and Kelly. McCool won after the faith breaker.
Dolph Ziggler went up against Chris Masters. Dolph won it easy giving him some momentum. It is a shame to have someone like Masters used to boost others, I feel that with a good storyline he could be a great superstar and future champ, but like some many others he is put on the back burner.
Big Show took on the S.E.S yet again. The match was just like any other they have had. Show won pinning Gallows. Punk was not pleased with Gallows performance in the match so he decided to plant a GTS on him. Does this mean that he is out of the S.E.S or is it just some hard discipline?
Jack Swagger then hosted MVP’s VIP lounge. His guest was his “dad”. Swagger used this segment to brag about the usual things but MVP soon came in and closed the lounge for renovations. He cleared some space and got ready to fight but Swagger used his dad as a human shield (his dad was in a wheelchair).
Swagger escaped and left his dad in the ring to receive the moves that were meant for him.
Cody Rhodes beat Matt Hardy. Apparently Hardy lashed out on twitter this week; we may see him leave WWE and head towards TNA in the not so distant future.
Through out the night we were getting pumped for a major announcement from Kane. This wasn’t necessary as the announcement was predictable. In a very flashy and fancy way he announced that he will take on the Undertaker at NOC and “End Undertakers existence.” They are going back to the time when Kane first appeared on our screens by using a lot of Special Effects, and playing on there characters Super Natural abilities, this time round though Kane is more empowered than Taker.
There segment ended the show.
Nothing stood out for me in this show and I am not feeling any hype for NOC. I am acutely glad that NOC is going to be on SkySports1 and not on BoxOffice, because I would rather not pay out for a show that is just not hitting its target.
Anyway I am going to watch some of the US Open so this is Matty.D signing off.

Kaval wins and NXT3 will be divas!
I’ve been quite looking forward to writing this blog since I watched NXT, main reason being, Kaval won! And I am very pleased.
Also they announced NXT season 3, but this season is going to be different from all others as this time it will be a completely Divas competition, as all the Rookies are Divas. Basically this will be a Diva search.
Before we get onto the new season lets look at the final episode of NXT2.
We had, as predicted, a Triple Threat Match between the remaining rookies. A good and reasonably lengthy match. Best performer of the match by far was Kaval, but Riley was the one to steal the win.
After the match Matt Stryker asked the eliminated rookies, who were sitting in the front row, who should win. None of them said Kaval most said Riley.
Riley was then eliminated first.
We then had Kaval and McGillicutty show there promo skills telling us why they are going to be the winner. Both did well on the microphone.
Matt then announced that Kaval was the winner. McGillicutty had some final words, saying he will still get into the WWE and that this is the beginning of the Genesis of McGillicutty.
As Kaval celebrated he was attacked by all the rookies from the season, the pros came to there aid but ended up being cleared from the ring. Alex Riley and McGillicutty joined the fight as the rookies focused on Kaval.
This segment was a bit of a mess. The pros ended up leaving the ring but not because of the rookies kicking them out of the ring, but because the refs came down and held them back. Also Alex Riley must have got confused on who he is meant to be attacking as he threw some moves on Percy Watson and chucked him from the ring.
Once the pros were out the way the rookies did some finishers to Kaval and left him down in the ring.
An interesting ending to the season, does this mean that the rookies are joining the Nexus? Or is this going to be a repeat storyline, will all the rookies team up as a team called Genesis being lead by McGillicutty? We will just have to wait and see but at the moment in my eyes it doesn’t look to promising.
Now threw out the night the Diva rookies and there pros were announced for NXT3, and we do have some very interesting and good looking rookie Divas, they all look like the type that’s going to be tough in the ring.
Here are our Diva rookies and there pros:
1. Pro: Kelly Kelly Rookie: Naomi
2. Pro: Alicia Fox Rookie: Maxine
3. Pro: Goldust Rookie: Aksana
4. Pro: The Bella Twins Rookie: Jamie
5. Pro: Primo Rookie: A.J Lee
6. Pro: Vickie Guerrero Rookie: Aloisia
Now all of these Rookies look like women that will be able to actually wrestle, all of them are well built and muscled up, in fact most of them look like they will be better in the ring than the Pros that will be “Coaching” them.
Now lets take a deeper look at these Diva Rookies.
First up is a woman called Naomi, a Black women with flexible skills and a muscle body yet of cores still looking like a lady. Her Pro is Kelly Kelly who is the most experienced Diva in this collection of Pros that they have selected but already Naomi is looking better than Kelly.
Maxine doesn’t stick out for me and I haven’t seen anything of her but she does already look an improvement on today’s Diva talent.
Aksana is a very attractive Lithuanian fitness model and body builder. Now she may look like a Barbie doll but she also looks like she could break your neck with her legs. Why she is being couched by Goldust is a mystery to me.
Jamie is the current ring announcer on NXT she is once again very attractive girl but not as Barbie doll as Aksana. She is also very well built but her two silicone fun bags look in disproportion to the rest of body. Once again she looks more like a wrestler than her low level pros the Bella Twins.
A.J Lee is a high level Diva from the FCW, WWE’s development programme. She was meant to be a new Diva on SmackDown! But it looks like they have knocked that idea on the head. She has the Pro of Primo. If you ask me Primo has just hit a new low in his career, from Unified Tag Champ all the way down to being a Pro for a Diva on NXT. Is he not good enough for a male rookie?
Lastly is an Amazon women. Aloisia is a 6’9 giant of a woman. As Chyna was the 9th wonder of the world this lady must be the 10th.
If you are reading this on my Blogger check out the picture I have provided, you can see the height of this woman compared to the other Diva rookies and although she is huge she still looks like a lady.
Her Pro is Vicki Guerrero. Now Vicki may not be a wrestler but she has shown great skill in managing superstars, such as Dolph, and Edge and even current co women’s Champs LayCool. This may be a strong plus to Aloisia.
Now is this going to be a good season focused on the wrestling ability of these girls or is it going to be one giant fashion contest where we just judge it on who looks the best? I am hoping for some actual wrestling but I am not going to get my hopes up.
Well that’s all for now Matty.D singing off.
Also they announced NXT season 3, but this season is going to be different from all others as this time it will be a completely Divas competition, as all the Rookies are Divas. Basically this will be a Diva search.
Before we get onto the new season lets look at the final episode of NXT2.
We had, as predicted, a Triple Threat Match between the remaining rookies. A good and reasonably lengthy match. Best performer of the match by far was Kaval, but Riley was the one to steal the win.
After the match Matt Stryker asked the eliminated rookies, who were sitting in the front row, who should win. None of them said Kaval most said Riley.
Riley was then eliminated first.
We then had Kaval and McGillicutty show there promo skills telling us why they are going to be the winner. Both did well on the microphone.
Matt then announced that Kaval was the winner. McGillicutty had some final words, saying he will still get into the WWE and that this is the beginning of the Genesis of McGillicutty.
As Kaval celebrated he was attacked by all the rookies from the season, the pros came to there aid but ended up being cleared from the ring. Alex Riley and McGillicutty joined the fight as the rookies focused on Kaval.
This segment was a bit of a mess. The pros ended up leaving the ring but not because of the rookies kicking them out of the ring, but because the refs came down and held them back. Also Alex Riley must have got confused on who he is meant to be attacking as he threw some moves on Percy Watson and chucked him from the ring.
Once the pros were out the way the rookies did some finishers to Kaval and left him down in the ring.
An interesting ending to the season, does this mean that the rookies are joining the Nexus? Or is this going to be a repeat storyline, will all the rookies team up as a team called Genesis being lead by McGillicutty? We will just have to wait and see but at the moment in my eyes it doesn’t look to promising.
Now threw out the night the Diva rookies and there pros were announced for NXT3, and we do have some very interesting and good looking rookie Divas, they all look like the type that’s going to be tough in the ring.
Here are our Diva rookies and there pros:
1. Pro: Kelly Kelly Rookie: Naomi
2. Pro: Alicia Fox Rookie: Maxine
3. Pro: Goldust Rookie: Aksana
4. Pro: The Bella Twins Rookie: Jamie
5. Pro: Primo Rookie: A.J Lee
6. Pro: Vickie Guerrero Rookie: Aloisia
Now all of these Rookies look like women that will be able to actually wrestle, all of them are well built and muscled up, in fact most of them look like they will be better in the ring than the Pros that will be “Coaching” them.
Now lets take a deeper look at these Diva Rookies.
First up is a woman called Naomi, a Black women with flexible skills and a muscle body yet of cores still looking like a lady. Her Pro is Kelly Kelly who is the most experienced Diva in this collection of Pros that they have selected but already Naomi is looking better than Kelly.
Maxine doesn’t stick out for me and I haven’t seen anything of her but she does already look an improvement on today’s Diva talent.
Aksana is a very attractive Lithuanian fitness model and body builder. Now she may look like a Barbie doll but she also looks like she could break your neck with her legs. Why she is being couched by Goldust is a mystery to me.
