Match #1- Sheamus vs Cesaro. This was for the United States Title. Sheamus managed to win and keep his title.
Match #2- Rhodes Brothers vs Axel/Ryback. Ryback pinned Cody for the win. Cody then walked off seeming like he was done with tag teaming.
Match #3- Rusev vs Big E. Rusev got this by making Big E tap
Match #4- Kofi vs Bo Dallas... not really. Kane came out and beat Kofi, I think before the bell even rang, keeping the match from actually happening. But not from Bo grabbing the mic.
Match #5- RVD vs Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship. Barrett won, keeping his title. I just wish he'd trim that beard just an inch.
Daniel Bryan came to the ring with his wife, and she refused to let him hand over the title, quitting before she could be fired.
Match #6- Cena vs Wyatt. This was the last man standing match. It had a decent length clocking in at 30 minutes. Cena got this one by trapping Bray Wyatt in an equipment box like a coffin.
Match#7- women's match - didn't watch. Like Wyatt, I had a coffin break.
Main Event- No Holds Barred Elimination match, Shield vs Evolution. This is the only reason I got the ppv. Chaos right off the bat, with Dean Ambrose ending up in the pit, where he instantly ran his fingers through his hair. Um dude, fixing it means from front to back smoothing down not back to front messing it up. Seth Rollins climbed to the top of the wide screen, and jumped onto everyone, which did trump his dive from last ppv, but did in deed nearly kill him. I was waiting for him to puke on everyone but he didn't. Roman Reigns had his shirt ripped off to the joy and cheers of all straight women and gay men over the world. Nice! Much better to see the welts and cuts on his body from the brutal hits by steel chairs, stairs and wooden sticks.
Batista was the first to be eliminated by Rollins,
Orton then was eliminated by Ambrose, and wait for it
Triple H was eliminated by Reigns.
Shield won standing tall, okay limping hunched over in pain, but you get the idea.
So for me, the main event was a highlight, it rang in at 45 minutes, going right to the last minute for the scheduled time. Have I mentioned yet this week how much I love the Shield...just let me say in case I forgot....I love the Shield!
till later

pre thoughts Payback
So this weekend, we have the ppv Payback. Which at this point in time, has a line up of... The Shield vs Evolution again, Barrett vs RVD again, Hornswaggle vs Torito again, Cena vs Wyatt again, Sheamus vs Cesaro... I get that this is called payback, but...
First off, let me talk about yesterday's Monday Night Raw. Very unhappy about the idea of Brad Maddox being "fired" as Raw GM.
So let's look at it from my point of view, and my point of view my lovely Spudguns! always has a bit of magic mirror quality to it. Let's say this is for real and not storyline. That would be a sad thing in deed, if Brad Maddox is no longer with the company, but my magic mirror has an alternate reality and I think it's a perfect launching pad for bringing Mr. Maddox into the ring or as a commentator full time. He's a wrestler, he's proven he's a good ref, and I've heard him do commentary on NXT...so my magic mirror says...at the ppv on Sunday Mr. Maddox will be given a chance to "win his job back" in a match with Kane. A ladder match with a contract hanging over it.
I have gone on record stating that I hate the Adam Rose gimmick. I loved him as Leo Kruger, a ruthless no-nonsense character. I'm really hoping that in the end, this bad rockstar crap turns out to be a split personality or something. But, in the mean time, this lemon-drop would like to see Rose vs Swagger in a hair vs mustache match at the ppv. If Rose wins, Zeb has to shave or at the very lest cut his mustache.
Speaking of someone who needs a haircut...Bo Dallas. I get the gimmick is meant to be both up lifting with the stay positive no matter what and totally annoying because he refuses to listen. I think he's an excellent wrestler, I just want to see him cut his hair soon. Those who didn't watch NXT for the last year, might not realize that they brought him up a year and a half ago for a short month long feud with Barrett and didn't seem to grab people's attention, and therefore was dumped back down to NXT where he suddenly became this...whatever he's suppose to be. I am mentioning him because I think he'll be tossed in as a surprise match.
Now, for the "official" listing...Cena will get the win this time around. He will be the last man standing, which I'm sure will put him firmly in the top three spots for the Number One contenders place behind Orton and...hhmmm not sure who the third would be now?
Sheamus will lose to Cesaro...this might be what the creative have planed, which would put Sheamus as the third in the running for Bryan's soon to be empty title. Though personally, I think a month long tournament should be the thing to do. Imagine Bryan's title on Seth Rollins...
Barrett vs RVD. Tough call. I'm a Barrett fan 100%, so of course I want the beautiful Brit to win.
Hornswaggle vs El Torito...I'm not even concerned with it, given it's only going to be available if you live in the United States and only on the Network. Being a Canadian, I'm little pissed off still that the pre-show is only available that way. You frealing call me when the Network becomes available in Canada then we'll talk.
And finally, the Shield vs Evolution. Shield will win. Why do I say that, because Orton can't and won't stay out of the title hunt much longer. That, and I just love the Shield.
A no holds barred match. This is asking for my magic mirror to look deep into the darkness and say firmly that I worship their shadows. (anyone else remember the tv show Lexx? and the line "I worship his shadow" ?)
The question is, how can they top Rollins' dive from the balcony from last ppv? I mean that in all seriousness. How can the Shield present any kind of new moves into the match that's that impressive without killing themselves in the process? I was beyond impressed and wondering if they were alive after that last ppv. Seth Rollins not only proved he should be in a title hunt, he's set the bar so high for himself now, that I don't even think he can sky dive over it?
And can I say how much I loved last week when Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns took over the announce booth on Raw. I do believe that the only time we the tv fans ever get proper moves called in a match anymore, is when Ambrose has the headset on. We need more of that.
So that's my thoughts this Tuesday evening before a ppv.
Catch you after Payback

Extreme Rules loves and hates
Let me once again complain about the fact that if you are outside of the United States, like I am, you miss out on the Pre-Show now. The pre-show tonight was listed as having the WeeLC match between Hornswaggle and El Torito.
Not getting to see the pre-show anymore since it was taken to the Network is a hate.
Match #1- RVD vs Cesaro Vs Swagger. This was a triple threat elimination match.
RVD eliminated Swagger with a pinfall.
Cesaro eliminated RVD with a pinfall, winning the match.
Match#2- Rusev vs Woods/Truth.
Woods was taken out of the match right off the bat before the bell, leaving this to be a singles match. Rusev then got the win by a tap out.
Match#3- Barrett vs Big E. This was for the Intercontinental Championship.
Barrett had to survive a tournament over the last few weeks to get to this match, and he got the pin becoming the I.C. champ once more.
Match#4- Evolution vs Shield.
Roman Reigns got the win over Batista with a spear, giving this to the Shield. But, the cost was both Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose getting crushed from a very ECW like move, when Rollins dove off the balcony onto Triple H, Orton and his own partner Ambrose. (wasn't that something New Jack did way back in the day?)
This was a great length match, at roughly 25 minutes, with a lot of suicide dives from Rollins, and more then a few times it looked like Ambrose was about to pass out, while Reigns had a few moments of his own where it seemed he was toaster caked. There was an impressive run on the table tops by Ambrose, which I honestly thought he was going to trip as he ran from the one announce booth to the second one and then leaped over the guard rail into the pit.
Match #5- Cena vs Bray Wyatt in a steel cage.
After many attempts to get out of the cage, it looked like Cena was about to make it out, when the lights went off and a creepy little kid appeared lip syncing into a microphone a slowed down version of Wyatt's song. Children are creepy by default.... This gave Wyatt the chance to knock out Cena and escape the cage himself for the win.
Match #6- women's match. I didn't pay attention.
Match #7- The Main Event, Daniel Bryan vs Kane for the Heavyweight title.
This was an Extreme Rules match.
At one point, Bryan had Kane out in the back of the building, and used a forklift to bring him back in to the ring. Impressive.
Kane brought out the tables and fire cans, but he himself ended up going through it. This gave Bryan a chance to get the win and keep his title.
You would think by this point, the announce team would just come out and sit hunched over a small bon fire or something instead of using the booth on a ppv, given every single time their booth get's flattened.
And by now, you know with me It's All About The Shield! So their win was a loved moment.
Till later

pre-thoughts of Extreme Rules
We've got another WWE ppv this weekend. So that means, it's time for me to come in and blah blah blah some bat droppings into your ear, on your shoulder and let it all splat on the tip of your shoe.
At the time of this posting (8:30 pm on Monday, Raw just started) this is what's right now on the schedule.
Cena vs Bray Wyatt, Shield vs Evolution, Bryan vs Kane, Big E vs either Barrett or RVD, and R-Truth/Woods vs Rusev,
Okay, so I had enough to say, none of which was nice, last month for the whole Wrestlemaina 30 situation pre-and post. And I'm not going to apologize for it either. It just didn't feel like it lived up to what it was designed to be.
Extreme Rules now is the beginning of the "new season" so to speak, and will pretty much pave the way for the storylines for the next five months.
What do I think will happen? I think Cena will get the win, Bryan will keep the title, RVD will loose to Big E, and Rusev will smash.
What do I want to happen? I want Bray Wyatt to clean house, for Bryan to dig something up to overcome Kane, for Bad News Barrett to win the I.C. championship, and for Woods to not only get the pin over Rusev but to dump Truth.
Notice I didn't even deal with the Shield match yet...okay, so this can go either way. Really depends on how far they want to take the story and if it's just a stop gap for Orton before putting him back in the title run?
If this is just a stop gap for Orton, then yes the Shield will mop the floor with Evolution, giving them the boost they deserve. If it's a storyline they plan on turning into something for the summer, then Evolution will leave my favourites fangless.
Obviously, I want the Shield to win. Last month I said the match they had them in was a waste of the Shield's time, and I still feel this to be true having them against Evolution. Mostly because I don't care for anyone in Evolution. Though I am dripping with coffee flavoured anticipation on the idea of Roman Reigns pulverizing Batista.
Granted, this is still the same storyline, as it's my favourite demonic superheroes (like a demonic version of Spider Man, Superman and Batman) against yet more members of Triple H's background noise.
I have said more then once that I love the Shield like this, against everyone else. Biting, clawing and snarling their way through everyone.
Okay, till later

Loved and Hated WM30
Pre-show: The first hour sucked, just blew dog backwards...er...goat backwards...er my usual examples just won't work tonight for that comment...it just was ugh.
The 2nd hour...I have no idea given I live in Canada, and we didn't get the second hour. How rude. However, there was a pretty purple logo flashing at me for ten minutes on the WWE website before it was shut off, music sucked....I really frealing hate Eminem...
Anyways, this is a major HATED IT, simply because those of us outside of the U.S.A., did NOT get to see the Fatal Four Way match for the Tag Team Titles. Which sort of pisses me off, given this was one of two matches that I had wanted to see.
Have I mentioned yet this week how much I really hate Hogan? He was the reason I stopped watching TNA for a while there, but I digress...
For me, this opening 20 minutes was a waste. I would have liked to have seen the tag match here instead of all that talking.
Match #1- Triple H vs Daniel Bryan for the #1 contenders spot later in the night. Oh my god, what the hell was Stephanie wearing? Did she raid Vickie's closet? Lest her hair was out of her face. Daniel Bryan got the win. This was a decent length match, at about 40 minutes. Then Triple H smashed Bryan's shoulder with a chair against the post.
Match #2- Shield vs New Age Outlaws/Kane. This was less then four minutes...dude, really? The Shield came out with a semi-new look, masks and no shirts under their vests...nice! Shield won, just wish they had had more air time, given this was the main reason I ordered the ppv. I loved that they won, I hated that it was a blink of an eye match. That was like a tease more then a match.
Match #3- Battle Royal- Brad Maddox was in there...dude, didn't even see him in there till he was tossed out. I couldn't tell who was in this one, there was just too many bodies crammed into the space. Cesaro got Big Show up by himself over the ropes and won the first Andre the Giant battle royal. I'm uber impressed.
Match #4- Cena vs Bray Wyatt- The Wyatts came out to the live band that sings their theme...cool. It was interesting to see the crowd swaying and singing for Bray. I guess, if Bray Wyatt ever decides to stop being a wrestler, he could teach horr-oga (horror film yoga) Cena got this one.
Match #5- Undertaker vs Brock. Brock won. I don't care for either of them, but it was about time to see someone beat Undertaker.
Match #6- womens match...didn't watch.
Main Event- Orton vs Batista vs Bryan. Orton came out to a live band who sings his theme. Bryan got the win with a tap out, and got the belt.
Honestly, I thought they were going to continue with the "Tommy Dreamer" storyline for god knows how long. Sort of glad they decided to just give him the win.
So, for me this wasn't half as good as it should have been. Lots of wasted time, and slightly pissed off that the tag team match wasn't aired in Canada, and that the Shield match was so damned short. Loved the skeleton-wolf masks though.
Till next time
love Ardeth Blood.

Pre-thoughts on WM30
Again, I ask, give me a reason to care about the big ppv this weekend. I am sure it's not just me, but since there is a ppv every month pretty much, Wrestlemaina just doesn't have that glowing warmth it used to. And given I'm in Canada, and we still don't have the WWE Network available to us (as of this posting) we -fans outside of the United States- still have to pay close to $75 (Canadian) for this ppv.
This year's card has so far at the time of this posting ... The 30 man Andre the Giant battle royal, a women's battle royal, Triple H vs Daniel Bryan, Batista vs Orton vs the winner of the Bryan vs Triple H, Cena vs Bray Wyatt, Undertaker vs Brock, a tag team titles 4 way, and Shield vs Kane/Outlaws.
Normally, anything with the Shield has me ordering the show, but right now, that match up is leaving a dirty taste in my mouth.
Half this line up of matches just feels like re-used scripts. Do we really need to see someone trying to break the Undertaker's streak yet again? Not really. Do we really need to have Brock show up for a few weeks and take off till next year? No not at all. And what on earth were they thinking even bringing Batista back for? I guess someone had to fill the empty spot CM Punk left.
Even the Andre the Giant battle royal is looking lack luster. Just seems like a really poor reason to A) add his name to something and B) give everyone screen time who we might have forgotten even works for the company.
How would this be better for me personally? If the Shield run in and disrupt everything, and if NXT stars like Corey Graves, Tyler Breeze and Sami Zayn were to have a three way match. Now, there's someone you could have had against the Shield...that would be interesting.
While I'm at the NXT part of things...would someone please give Mason Ryan a shave and haircut, he looks filthy.
Till Later

March 22nd 2014
I loved the Leo Kruger character on NXT, I hate to the point of wanting to throw the tv out the window, the Adam Rose character the wrestler is now doing.
"Leo Kruger" was one of the main reasons I watched NXT. Now, this rock star Russell Brand wanna be gimmick is vomit worthy. There was nothing wrong with the character before, I don't understand why WWE felt the need to change it? Were they not making their quota with the silly three ring circus acts? Cause that's all I can think of for them stooping so low.
If by chance, the wrestler himself choose this direction, then dude, that feels like a desperate move. Sorry, but I just don't understand why - and I'm saying this as a fan- why you would want to go from an unstoppable force to a hip swinging hair flicker?
Wrestlemaina 30...I'm waiting to be interested. So far, nothing on the short list of matches has any value to me.
And if they end up putting the Shield in a 6 man tag against Kane and the New Age Outlaws, which is where it looks like it's headed, then I will throw the tv out the window. That would be such a waste of the Shield. Waste! The Shield deserve better.
Yes, this is a rant.
Shield as ultimate untouchables = glued to the tv, Shield having vulnerabilities = not happy me.
Yes, totally get that not everyone can win all the time, and all the characters have to swing from heel to face and back every so often, but after having them just begin to feud with the Wyatts, then downgrade them like that...dude, why? The Shield vs the Wyatts has so much more potential.
I also get that the Shield are being put in a position to be the good guys, which on one level is great. Fans love them, I frealing love them to the point I want to see them on Smackdown for the whole 2 hours every week. Hell, they could stand there with nothing but the announce booth headsets reading the scripts, flipping the pages and it would still be killer. But I was liking their return to destroying everyone. I fully expected to start seeing them digging graves and building coffins or something for their opponents.
Moral of this story, fix Leo Kruger, and give the Shield someone worthy to destroy. And maybe get Seth Rollins to dye his hair one colour....

There was nothing wrong with the character before, I don't understand why WWE felt the need to change it? Were they not making their quota with the silly three ring circus acts? Cause that's all I can think of for them stooping so low.
If by chance, the wrestler himself choose this direction, then dude, that feels like a desperate move. Sorry, but I just don't understand why - and I'm saying this as a fan- why you would want to go from an unstoppable force to a hip swinging hair flicker?
Wrestlemaina 30...I'm waiting to be interested. So far, nothing on the short list of matches has any value to me.
And if they end up putting the Shield in a 6 man tag against Kane and the New Age Outlaws, which is where it looks like it's headed, then I will throw the tv out the window. That would be such a waste of the Shield. Waste! The Shield deserve better.
Yes, this is a rant.
Shield as ultimate untouchables = glued to the tv, Shield having vulnerabilities = not happy me.
Yes, totally get that not everyone can win all the time, and all the characters have to swing from heel to face and back every so often, but after having them just begin to feud with the Wyatts, then downgrade them like that...dude, why? The Shield vs the Wyatts has so much more potential.
I also get that the Shield are being put in a position to be the good guys, which on one level is great. Fans love them, I frealing love them to the point I want to see them on Smackdown for the whole 2 hours every week. Hell, they could stand there with nothing but the announce booth headsets reading the scripts, flipping the pages and it would still be killer. But I was liking their return to destroying everyone. I fully expected to start seeing them digging graves and building coffins or something for their opponents.
Moral of this story, fix Leo Kruger, and give the Shield someone worthy to destroy. And maybe get Seth Rollins to dye his hair one colour....
