Smackdown Highlights for May 28th 2010

I am doing a marked down version today of the show for simple fact that I am short on time this week.

We open with a promo saying the Undertaker is returning to Smackdown... I was unaware he had even left.

Drew McIntyre came out with yet another note from Mr. MacMann. Dude, that story line is getting old come up with something new already. He was in a tag match with Swagger against Kofi Kingston and Big Show. This was a return match from the ppv last week. Kofi and Swagger are both champs at this time. Big Show got the win over McIntyre.

CM Punk who had lost his icky hair at the ppv came out for a match in a mask. BOO He still had the icky beard thought, I thought that was part of the hair match too... he went against Kane in a qualifying match for the next ppv. Punk got the win and now goes to the Fatal Fourway .

Christian/Hornswaggle vs Dolph Ziggler/Chavo. Christian got the win over Chavo with his killswitch. Ziggler then slapped on his sleeper on Christian after the match.

Luke Gallows vs MVP. Gallows got the win with a cheat.

Rey Mysterio vs Undertaker. Undertaker won with his tombstone and goes on to the Fatal Fourway.

I used screen capture for this post

iTunes Canada had it this morning, and as you know if you read my post at that time, I'm late because I went to see Sex and the City 2

Team 3D vs Ink Inc vs Nash/Young. Non title. Moore and Young started with a collar tie up, Young then working on the shoulder of Moore. Young went off the ropes with a shoulder block sending Moore to the mat. Back to their feet and Moore with two very deep arm drags which he followed with an inverted atomic drop. Moore then with a double leg drop going for the cover but only got a two count. Young then sent him into the corner, but Moore delivered a back elbow rocking Young. Moore then off the top turnbuckle with a flying bulldog going for a cover but only got a near fall. Jesse Neal then tagged in, and they used a double team move on Young, before getting shoved into the corner. But Neal got a boot up on Young hitting him in the jaw. Neal then with a cross body for a cover but still only got a two count. Young with a rake to the eyes then planted Neal face first into the top turnbuckle. Young then had a large slam for Neal, at which point Brother Ray blindtagged himself in. Ray went for a large elbow but missed as Neal rolled out of the way. Neal then fought back with a series of forearms to the face. Ray got things back in his favour with a nasty looking clothesline, before laying in a few loud chops to the upper body of Neal. Ray then had Neal in the middle of the ring delivering cross faces, and Nash was in the far corner trying to climb it for I have no idea what but Young talked him down, Devon then blindtagged himself in. Devon tossed Neal into his corner letting Moore tag back in. Devon and Moore then with a collar tie up which lead to Moore getting a few punches in before trying a sunset flip. Moore then with a flying kick stumbling Devon. Neal tagged back in, as did Ray who used a double clothesline to knock down both Ink Inc. Neal in the corner again with Ray stomping on him, yelling that he's just not going to pin him yet. Neal managed to get a gore on Ray for the win. Nash and Young had started to leave the ring area, then for whatever reason Nash jumped back up with the tag belt held high. Weird.

Kaz vs Jay Lethal. I'm still giddy over Lethal being just Lethal, still doing a happy dance.
They started with a collar tie up. Kaz then started to just lay down punches on Lethal getting him against the ropes for a moment. Lethal used a nice kick, followed by a standing drop kick knocking Kaz down. Lethal then on the apron with a shoulder block to Kaz through the ropes. He slingshot back into the ring right into a leg scissors which tossed Kaz out of the ring. Lethal then used a suicide dive nailing Kaz against the rails. And he screamed that he's so glad to be back. Back in the ring and Lethal goes for a cover but only gets a two count. Kaz then in the corner and Lethal with another drop kick sending him hard into the turnbuckles. Kaz then with a running leap and a knee to the back of the neck of Lethal, getting him off guard following it up with a few forearms to the face. Kaz then with a hard slam on Lethal and a springing leg drop, but Lethal used a few punches and a spring off the ropes into a flying forearm knocking Kaz down. Lethal followed this up with a running moonsault into a crossbody but only got a two count. Kaz then with a jawbreaker but Lethal quickly came back at him with a running kick to the back of the skull turning Kaz inside out. Lethal then slapped in a figure four leg lock but Kaz got to the ropes breaking the hold. Kaz used a roll up for the win.

Orlando Jordan vs Abyss. Jordan went right for the injured arm of Abyss, but Abyss managed to back away a few steps. they then went into a collar tie up which quickly led to Abyss getting a wrist lock on Jordan. Jordan turned it around in his favour by using a roll through then went right back to the injured arm Abyss did however, get a clothesline on Jordan knocking him to the mat for a moment. Abyss then with a large high backdrop on Jordan sending him clear across the ring. Abyss then charged after him, but Jordan moved and Abyss went shoulder first into the steel. Jordan then went back to working on the injured arm by ripping off the bandages and picking at the stitches. Jordan then went to the top rope coming down hard with an elbow to the arm of Abyss. Abyss then was able to fight back with a simple boot to the face of Jordan which he followed up with a splash in the corner. Jordan then went for a float over in the far corner, but Abyss caught him in midair and slammed him hard in the middle of the ring. Both men out of the ring suddenly and Jordan going face first into the ring post. Desmond Wolfe then came out and the match was called by a dq.

Knock Out tag match... Beautiful People vs Serina/Wilde. BP win and keep their titles.

Wolfe vs Hardy...I debated if I was going to cover this one as I really don't like Hardy but I do like Wolfe so.... Wolfe started with a shoulder block, followed by an upper cut causing Hardy to stagger to the ropes. Wolfe with a snap take over then off the ropes with another shoulder block, and a cartwheel getting out of the way of Hardy. Nice. Wolfe then with a leap frog over Hardy, but Hardy grabbed him for his sit down pin, only got a two count. Wolfe with a kick from the corner then an upper cut sending Hardy once again to the ropes. Hardy then charged at Wolfe, who moved out of the way and planted Hardy face first into the top turnbuckle before going for kick/chop combo to the neck of Hardy while having him in a modified hangman. This is why I like Wolfe, he's quick thinking. Wolfe then going for his second rope speed bump, but was cut short by Hardy with a spinning kick. BOO. Hardy then with his running drop kick in the corner. Double Boo. Wolfe rolled out of the ring, Hardy then with a second rope slide and a cross body onto the floor. Wolfe then elbowed him sending Hardy into the rails. Back in the ring and Wolfe goes for a cover but only got a two count. Hardy going for his twist of fate but it was blocked and countered by Wolfe with a wicked looking arm-wringer snap. Nice. Wolfe went for a cover but again, only a two. He was going for his trademark tower of London, but Hardy blocked it. Hardy then went for another twist of fate but once again, Wolfe blocked it and countered with his hammerlock. Hardy in the corner with a scissors move rolling Wolfe across the ring. Hardy off the top rope with a corkscrew move that slammed into the ref, then he put his twist of fate on Wolfe, but the ref was down. Wolfe with a cheat move with a loaded weapon for the win.

A.J. Styles vs Mr. Anderson. Yay! Styles got rid of the cuff links. He finally listened to me. I think Styles should be the number one contender to the belt. They started with a collar tie up, Styles landing in the corner. He then got a side head lock on Anderson before Anderson reversed it slapping one on him. This went on for a few minutes, each trying to counter and ending up with Styles still in a side headlock on the mat. Styles did finally break the hold with a head scissors on Anderson. He broke out of this move, and Styles slapped another side headlock on him. Finally, back to their feet and they traded forearms/chops for a moment. Styles then with a leap frog over Anderson, and a drop kick. Anderson then with a few punches, and Styles going for another leap frog, but was caught by Anderson who used a roll through going for a cover. Only a two count. Styles with a kick to the skull from the mat, and started to step on Anderson's throat. Styles then with a snapmare, and working on the shoulders and neck of Anderson. Anderson battled out with a series of punches then a flying forearm/crossbody combo. But Styles used a roll up for the win.

Raw May 24th 2010 - Sort of

Hey guys, I had some issues getting to see the whole show this week so there isn't an actual review of this past Monday's Raw.

But, I will give a small run down of my thoughts on the parts I did get to see.

Batista quitting. We should be so lucky. I don't know if his contract is up, or if he's really injured or what the case is, but it's time for him to just go away. I like the idea of Bret Hart now being in charge and firing Batista. Works for me.

Bret Hart being the new general manager. You would think that this would eliminate the crappy guest host, but it seems they still want to suck the life out of us on that. Stupid.

The next ppv having a 4 way for the belt. Randy Orton, Sheamus, Edge and Cena. I actually like this idea. The feuds here could turn out to be wicked if they do them right. I'm not a fan of Cena so seeing him loose the title soon to anyone would be nice. But you know I have a soft spot for Sheamus.

Speaking of the white knight, he was looking alittle vampy this week from the bit I saw. As in wearing vampire movie body make up. Normally, you can see every red mark on him from the other guys hitting him with chops and such and from where he gets tossed into the ring post and what not, but this week you didn't see any red marks or bruises. It was almost too perfect his skin. Not that I'm complaining as you know I love a pale Irish guy.

I promise to have things back on schedule next week. Baring of course another power outage.

My Thoughts on TNA Impact for May 20th 2010

iTunes Canada is once again late, I had to go looking on the Spike Tv official website
And we open with Bishoff and Miss-Tes-Mocker.... um wasn't that the same name you guys gave Stacey Kibler when she first started back in WCW as part of censor board group thingie you had her in? Standards and Practices?

So we were given the top ten contenders for the belt.
10- Samoa Joe
9- Rob Terry
8- Desmond Wolfe
7- Pope
6- Abyss
5-Mr. Anderson
4-Hardy
3-A.J. Styles
2-Kurt Angle
1-Sting
Wow, what a very crappy and predictable line up. I would have had Samoa Joe, Desmond Wolfe, A.J. Styles and who I have been cheering for on this for months that was overlooked Eric Young. as the list. Yes, I feel this list is total bulldren. Then Angle removed himself, opening up the number 10 spot as everyone moved up one. Kaz would later in the night win a 8 man X-Division battle royal for the spot. Now Kaz I can get behind.

Knock Outs match... Roxxi vs Madison Rayne. Roxxi won with her trademark Voodoo Drop.

Orlando Jordan vs Rob Terry. this is a sugarcoated waste of time. Jordan went right for the injured leg of Terry, but was tossed across the ring. Terry then started in with a hiptoss and a series of clotheslines. He pushed Jordan into the corner, before Terry used a massive backdrop on him, then followed it up with a short clothesline. Jordan then went after the knee again. He slapped on a leg lock submission move, and the ref called the bell.

Beer Money Inc vs Jay Lethal/RVD. damn this was shaping up to be a wicked match till you put RVD in there now ... But it's Jay Lethal as Jay Lethal... I'm doing a happy dance. Roode jumped Leathal as the bell was ringing. Pushed him into the corner with a series of punches. Lethal fought back with a few chops, but was put into a headlock. Lethal did get out of it, using a hip toss with his cartwheel drop kick on Roode. Beauty! I'm still giddy about him being just Jay Lethal. Lethal charged at Roode, but ended up on the outside of the ring apron, and used a shoulder block on Roode sending him back a few feet. Lethal went up to the ropes, but was tossed off by Storm, giving Roode the chance to stomp on him. Storm tagged in, and they used a double team move on him in the corner. Storm then followed this up with a couple of stomps to the thighs of Lethal and a clothesline that turned him inside out. Roode then tagged in, and they used a double team on Lethal sending him flying to the rafters with a hard back body drop. Storm tagged back in, and again they double teamed him. Storm laying in some hard looking punches. Lethal off the ropes with his handspring back elbow. Both Roode and RVD have now tagged in. RVD with clotheslines on both members of BMI, then a spinning kick to Storm in the corner. He then went for his trademark roundhouse, but Roode blocked it. RVD then to the top turn buckle with his flying single leg drop kick and into a cover but only a two count. Storm back into the ring and they used another double team move on him, then Lethal blindtagged himself in, going for a missile drop kick on Roode and followed it with his lethal combination backbreaker Then RVD used his rolling thunder on Roode, before Lethal slapped on a figure four leg lock on Roode for the win.

I understand the idea of having Eric Young team up with Nash and Hall, I do really, just promise me one thing You will keep the bald look going, cause damn you look good bald Mr. Young.

He went up against Shanon Moore. Young jumped Moore attacking his shoulders. He sent Moore into the corner, but Moore used a float over then a arm drag on Young. He followed this with a drop kick and an inverted atomic drop. Moore then used a double leg drop going for a cover but only got a near fall. Moore back to the corner, this time with a flying cross body on Young, another cover but only a near fall. Moore was going off the ropes but Young cut him short with a running clothesline. Young then with a drop elbow and cover but only got him a two count. Young followed this up with a scoop slam and a flying elbow off the top rope. He then had Moore on the second rope, choking him out before using a snap take over into a submission move. ...then the website crashed and the segment skipped. Dude! Moore battled out, and went off the ropes again, Young catching him in mid move, but Moore pulled a bulldog on him then backed it up with a series of drop kicks. Moore then off the top rope with a corkscrew move, but only got a near fall. Young used a piledriver on him for the win.

Hardy vs Sting... I don't care.

And the MotorCityMachine Guns! this is one of those matches I hate to even try to call cause it's total chaos. MMG, vs Kaz vs Generation Me vs Amazing Red vs Homicide. In a battle royal. Dude, I can't even keep up with who's in this there is no way I can call it proper. Totally sucks. Amazing Red was eliminated. Max Buck was eliminated Alex Shelley was eliminated what! Mr. Shelley how could you (I suddenly want to say the line from Lost Boys when Sam finds out Micheal is a vampire and says "you just wait till mom finds out" but that would be so wrong to be saying right now. Well, you know I just needed to find away to get a vampire reference in) Jeremy Buck was eliminated Chris Sabin was eliminated is he okay? He fell funny on the apron. Homicide was eliminated by Kendrick who by the by was hiding under the ring the whole time, I didn't even know he was in this match. Kendrick was eliminated Kaz wins he now moves into the number 10 spot

I used screen capture for this post

We opened with Bret Hart as we were in Toronto. Finally, Canada is getting some respect from the WWE. oh don't even get me started on the episode from last summer that Sargent Slaughter hosted. And Jericho, the two biggest names from Canada at the moment in the business. Good call. Hey, thought this was suppose to be commercial free? Seems someone forgot to tell the SCORE here in Canada, as there were commercials (mind you this was a replay)

Edge vs Christian. Beauty! Nice! Wicked! they started with a collar tie up, Edge in the corner. Another collar tie up with a go behind by Edge that was quickly countered by Christian who used a take down to get Edge on the mat.

Christian went once more for his killswitch but was unable to lock it on. Edge shoved him into the ringpost and speared him for the win.

Then the Undertaker came out... yeah I get you're the star attraction and the company is hinged on you, but dude why the hell does it take you so frealing long to get your ass to the ring? I mean, man they made fun of Trent Acid taking forever on JCW, but you take just as long. This is round two for Edge. Edge spent time hanging out on the apron letting the count out happen. Christian was still hanging out few feet away and tossed Edge back in the ring where he promptly got choke slammed.

DiBiase with Virgil .... dude no! That's just so wrong! vs Yoshi Tatsu. DiBiase started with a go behind, slithering around to put on a headlock then an armbar.

The beginning of this match Regal and Kozlov came out to tangle with the Hart Dynasty. Nice way to set up a feud between those two teams.
