Rey and Jack take a swim.

This week saw a good SmackDown! Up until the very end when they ruined the last match with some bad editing.

At the start of the show we had another very well put together promo from Kane of him reviling who Undertakers attacker is.
In storyline Kane said that the Undertaker awoke and spoke only the name of his attacker before closing his eyes again.
The name the Undertake spoke was apparently Rey Mysterio but I can see there being some sort of twist in this path we are on.

The last match of the night was Jack Swagger vs. Rey Mysterio once again but this time it is no disqualification.
The two started out in the ring and fought into the crowd, once in the crowd we saw some of the worst editing I’ve ever seen during WWE programming.
As they were in the crowd we saw parts of the fight randomly skipped, and once saw a move shown twice just from another angle.
The two fought into the hallways and then out onto the street. Jack then was able to carry Rey over to the Gulf of Mexico. As he was about to throw Rey in, Rey was able to reverse into a head scissors and sent Jack head first into the cold water.
When all seemed over Kane appeared and Choke Slammed Rey in as well closing the show there.

Other matches included Drew vs. Christian in a very good opening contest; I must say it was the best I’ve seen from Christian since he made his return from TNA.
Christian won after rolling Drew up to get the pin.

Big Show beat Luke Gallows by DQ, all though Show won it was the S.E.S that stood tall as they banded together to try and break Big Shows right hand.

Dolph beat Kofi once again this time by disqualification as after Vicki slapped Kofi, Kofi went into a rage and started pounding on Dolph, when Kofi didn’t stop even when Dolph was in the ropes he was called on disqualification.
It was a new side to Kofi and one I quite like. As Dolph won the match he will be going for the Intercontinental Title next week. If he wins we should see the rematch at SummerSlam.

The self proclaimed co Women’s Champions LayCool had to defend against Tiffany. It was originally going to be Layla vs. Tiffany but Vicki Guerrero changed the match allowing Michelle McCool to defend in Layla’s place.
Michelle won after interference from Layla.
Once the match was done Teddy Long appeared on the big screen and said that there can only be one Women’s Champion and they have one week to decide who it will be or he will decide for them.
It’s a shame that they are going to move back to one title as I would have liked to of seen a tag Women’s championship. Also I don’t like that this could show cracks in the best Women’s Tag team that we have seen in a long time.

Overall it was good show other than the bad editing during the last match, there was also a moment in the Kofi, Dolph match that they focused on Vicki when there was action we would have liked to of seen.

Anyway that’s all for now Matty.D signing off.

Bye Bye Eli.

I am going to try and keep this blog short.

This weeks NXT saw the second poll of this season and the second elimination.

Before the poll was reviled we had an open mic challenge and a few matches.

The open mic challenge was a chance for the rookies to have one last say before the poll was reviled.
They had 60 seconds to talk about a subject of there choice. All the rookies did well in this challenge I believe they all was able to shine.

After the beginning segment we had our first match. “Showtime” Percy Watson vs. Zack Ryder.
The match was solid Percy Watson picked up the win and performed well.

Michael McGillicutty went up against Eli Cottonwood and took the win in an ok match.

The third match was Husky Harris vs. Kaval.
Another great match but any match with Kaval in is a great one. I can’t wait to see him with someone like Evan Bourn, or Rey Mysterio.
Unfortunately Kaval did not prevail in this match yet again, as Husky took the win.

Now it was time for the poll to be reviled.

1. Michael McGillicutty
2. Kaval
3. Alex Riley
4. Percy Watson
5. Lucky Cannon
6. Husky Harris
7. Eli Cottonwood

The immunity that Michael McGillicutty won last week, seemed to be unneeded as he took the top spot knocking Kaval down to number 2. I was shocked by this as I don’t see McGillicutty as that great, I agree with Miz he is mediocre.

As Eli was last he was eliminated, and he wasn’t happy about it, as he decided to take his anger out on the other rookies as he started attacking Husky and others.
He finally walked away pushing Morrison out of the way.
The rest of the rookies had a chance to have there say but during this Eli came back to the ring and continued to fight the rookies, the show closed there.

An ok NXT with an interesting poll, this should lead into some more interesting moments and I look forward to seeing more of these rookies shine.

Team Raw is falling apart.

Last night saw Raw and apparently taped straight after was next weeks Raw, there are spoilers out there but I have not read them as I don’t want to ruin it for myself.

Through out last nights Raw the team created to take on the Nexus was just falling apart.
The show started with Cena cutting a promo, he was interrupted by Jericho who wants to be recognized as the leader of Team Raw not Cena.
Cena quickly moved to say that if that’s what he wants that’s what he can be because all Cena wants is to beat the Nexus.
They had a bit of a tiff which leads to the GM forcing them to tag later in the night.

After this brilliant opening segment we lead into a brilliant opening match, as Randy Orton faced Jey Uso. Jimmy and Tamina were at ring side but didn’t make much effect, and Sheamus was sitting at the announcers table looking on.
Randy made short work of the Uso and won the match.
After the pin Jimmy started fighting Randy, Sheamus got in the ring and headed to do his big boot on Randy but Randy saw it coming and ducked down so the boot struck Jimmy. Sheamus then turned straight into an awesome looking RKO.
Miz saw an opportunity and came down to the ring with a ref to cash in his Money in the Bank.
As they was getting ready to go Orton jumped back in the ring and RKO’d the Miz as well before leavening them in the ring.

After an ad break we return to find Sheamus and Miz in the ring arguing when the GM makes them team to go against the earlier made team of Cena and Jericho.

Edge and Great Khali go head to head because Edge does not believe that Khali should be on the team, Edge said that if he beats Khali, Khali is off the team.
Edge ended up fleeing the ring as the Nexus came down and surrounded Khali.
The Nexus allowed Khali to leave.

Another ad break, then we lead into the Nexus vs. a different 7 man Raw team.
Evan Bourn, The Hart Dynasty, Yoshi Tatsu, Mark Henry, Jerry “The King” Lawler and Goldust.
The match was of elimination style and Team Raw ended up being whitewashed by the Nexus.
The match was good other than the lower down members of the Raw team.

After a lame Divas contest we saw John Morrison up against Ted DiBiase. R-Truth was at ring side and attempted to help Morrison but ended up costing him the match. Morrison then verbally lashed out at Truth showing more of the Raw teams current down fall.

We then had the last match of the night where Jericho and Cena went against Sheamus and Miz.
The match saw Jericho and Cena argue through out, Jericho ended up nailing a Code Breaker on Cena and leaving him to be pinned. After the match Jericho went for the Walls of Jericho but it was reversed into an STF.
The rest of the team came down but everything just fell apart as Edge speared Khali making it just go downhill from there.

Will the Raw team hold together before SummerSlam? Or will Cena have to find some new recruits?

You can look it up in spoilers or do what I will do and hold out till next week.

On other news my phone has been delayed in its repairs so I will be attempting to make SummerSlam BBQ plans via my old phone so if I miss you out its because I do not have your number. Text messages out soon.

50th BLOG!! Rey vs. Kane for SummerSlam.

Sorry about the lateness of this blog, been out in Harlow today but I am here now.

Well to start off, this is my 50th Blog!! So I just want to say thanks to my readers, epically my number one reader Tommy Clee, so thanks to you all.

Now let’s get on to SmackDown!

This week opened with a brilliant promo from our new World Heavyweight Champion Kane.
It was well edited and put together with background music and cuts to past events.
He basically justified himself on cashing in the money in the bank, and saying that he did what he did for his fallen brother.

At the end of the show we had Rey vs. Jack in a 2 out of 3 falls match to decide the No.1 contender for Kane’s title. Now I didn’t really understand why they did this match as Rey should have his rematch clause to use.
The first fall went to Rey when Jack got disqualified for holding his ankle lock although Rey was on the ropes.
Jack got the second when he was able to get Rey to tap to the lock in the centre of the ring.
And the third fall went to Rey after he did a reversal to Jacks power bomb into a pin. The match was good up until that final moment as the reversal of the power bomb was sloppy.
After the match Jack went to try and injure Rey further but was stopped by the big red monster who had come to the rescue.
After clearing Jack from the ring Kane approached Rey, Kane helped Rey up and raised his hand. It all seemed to be over, Rey got out the ring and was going to leave when Kane came running back; he caught Rey back in the ring and gave him a choke slam.

As Rey won the 2 out of 3 falls match he will be heading to SummerSlam to take on Kane, but things can still change between now and SummerSlam.

During the night S.E.S member Luke Gallows was meant to go up against the Big Show.
Once the S.E.S got to the ring, Punk called Gallows back out the ring and pointed for the mystery man to get in the ring as his replacement.
The match started but didn’t last long as the Big Show got control and proceeded to remove the mask.
Once the mask was removed we could all see it was Joey Mercury. The crowd didn’t seem shocked or surprised and neither was I. The fact that we had figured out that the masked man was Joey ages ago, the moment lost its impact.
Since they kept him masked for so long they shouldn’t of unmasked him, it would have been better to keep him as a masked aslant.

We also saw “Dashing” Cody Rhodes tagged with Drew McIntyre to face Matt Hardy and Christian. Good match overall ended with Matt inadvertently hitting Christian, then Drew took advantage to pick up the win.

We also saw seeds being planted for a possible Intercontinental Title match at SummerSlam, as Doplh Ziggler beat Kofi Kingston in a non title match.

We are now on the road to SummerSlam, and I am looking forward to the event regardless of the show, but because of my BBQ. I do hope the invited can make it. And just FYI it will be Robbie’s Birthday bash as well as he turns 17 the next day.

Anyway that’s all for now Matty.D signing off for the 50th time.

NXT Run into Obstacles.

This weeks NXT was better than last week and I enjoyed this weeks NXT challenge, the Obstacle course.

The night started with MVP’s VIP Lounge, with his guest Percy Watson.
The segment started serious as MVP spoke about last weeks actions by Percy. After they settled that they went on to more cheery subjects.
Matt Stryker came out and asked MVP and Percy, why Percy is the next break out star.
It was a great opening promo to kick start the show.

After there promo Cody and Husky came out, Matt Stryker posted the same question to them.
This lead into Percy and MVP tagging against Rhodes, and Harris.
A good match well performed and no faults to be seen. Husky and Cody took the win.

Alex Riley went up against Lucky Cannon. Riley won very quickly dominating the match all the way through, it made Lucky look bad but may have boosted Alex’s persona.
After the match Miz did the Skull Crushing Finale to Lucky on to the MITB brief case.

To end the show we had the Obstacle course.
Now this Obstacle course was a great improvement on last season’s course. Before the rookies tackled the course, the ones that hadn’t already had the chance to tell us why they should be number 1 got the chance to do so.
Then the Rookies went to the course. Each one of them looked good (other than Eli, Morrison was not impressed more embarrassed)
McGillicutty set the bar and no one could beat it, Kaval came close but the crate push at the end slowed him down.

With McGillicutty winning he has won immunity and won’t be eliminated next week.

The next NXT poll will be reviled next week so get over to wwe.com and cast your vote now.

Matty.D’s NXT poll:

1. Kaval
2. Alex Riley
3. “Showtime” Percy Watson
4. Husky Harris
5. Lucky Cannon
6. Michael McGillicutty
7. Eli Cottenwood
