Sunday night. Interior, mother's, situation - tried to order ppv and three times message flashed on the screen telling me that the other shows in the dvr had to be removed. They were mom's shows, I took them out and ordered the ppv. Mom's not happy. But oh well on with the blog post...
The pre-show.... First of all, good to see Vickie as part of the announce group. Usos vs Shield members Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. This is for the tag team belts. They went to a commercial in the middle of the match. Dude really? The Shield won and kept their titles. Yes, very happy. Love that!
World Heavyweight ladder match... Shield member Dean Ambrose got a large cheer from the crowd when he was introduced. Fandango, Swagger, Cesaro, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, and Wade Barrett where then introduced. Wade wore the blue, never a good sign. Ambrose ended up between the ladder more then once, using it to his advantage with skill, and put a wicked DDT from the middle of the ladder on Swagger. The other members of the Shield came out to help Ambrose, then the Usos came out to get revenge, stupid letting Sandow get the sneak in there. NOT happy. Damn it! I wanted Ambrose to get the case. Now I'm pissed off.
Brad Maddox made an appearance... I like the Brad Maddox.
the Miz vs Curtis Axel for the Intercontinental Championship. Heyman was sent to the back, but the crowd right off started to chant that they want Heyman. Well, our household was split on this one, I was cheering for Axel, mom was cheering for Miz. Axel got the win and kept his title.
Jericho vs Ryback... I really thought that Vickie was going to make her return by being his manager, but with her on announce team, seems I was wrong...for now. Ryback won.
I'm still pissed about Ambrose not getting the case. Will be for a very long time.
Dolph Ziggler vs Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight title...and it went to Del Rio by dq and he keeps the belt.
Cena vs Mark Henry for the WWE championship... Cena came out to nearly a full house of boos. Haha! And after countless tries, Cena was able to get Henry up for his trademark slam, but Henry kicked out. Cena managed to get him in a submissions in the middle of the ring, and Henry had to tap. He TAPPED!.
Where are the Wyatts in all this? Okay, no sooner did I type that sentence then they did a promo of the Wyatts...
The all star ladder match... RVD, Christian, Daniel Bryan, Orton, Sheamus, CM Punk. There was one point where it looked like Orton had frealed up his knee, after having landed funny from falling off the ladder. Sheamus took a horrible fall hurting himself, looked like his arm. Curtis Axel came running in, demolishing Bryan until Punk gave Axel a GTS. Heyman came out yelling at Axel. And the crowd screaming full on we want Heyman. Then Heyman beat up Punk with a ladder...Orton RKO'ed RVD thank god! Orton got the case. Thank frealing god it was not RVD.
Still pissed off about Ambrose not getting the case. Still!
Okay, so half the show didn't turn out like I wanted, but things will be shaken up a little, and we can look forward to new storylines and feuds over the next few months...and yes still unhappy about Ambrose not getting the case.
Love Ardeth Blood.

What do I think the fallout of Money in the Bank will be?
So yet another ppv this weekend, and as always, I've got thoughts on it. I know I said few weeks ago, that it was already ruined for me with the fact RVD is returning via the ppv. I do not like RVD. I think he's part of what was the downfall for TNA... but anyways, here's what I think will happen this weekend at the ppv.
Pre-show: I want the Shield members Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns to keep their titles. I think they will end up loosing to the Usos. I want Rollins/Reigns to stay on top no matter what it takes, any means necessary.
Jerico vs Ryback : I think Vickie will make a big return by being Ryback's manager.
Miz vs Curtis Axel : I think Axel will keep his Intercontinental Championship.
World Heavyweight contract money in the bank match: I want and think Shield member Dean Ambrose is going to have this one.
All Stars Money in the Bank match: I want CM Punk to win, I think RVD is going to be handed the damn thing.
Dolph Ziggler vs Del Rio: World Heavyweight Championship, I think it's going to go to Ziggler.
Cena vs Mark Henry: I think Cena is going to win, and keep the belt.
Why I think all this, let's start with the obvious feuds that will come out after the weekend.
1) RVD or Punk getting the All Star briefcase, will lead to a typical feud with Cena. Makes sense, could lead to some interesting back and forth over the next two months. Not too mention, a great three way storyline- Cena/Punk/RVD- with Heyman dead center.
2) There is already a decent feud started between Ambrose and Christian. I can see Ambrose holding on to his title with Christian challenging him for either the U.S. belt or his briefcase for a shot at ...
3) Ziggler. Christian vs Ziggler for the title or Ambrose vs Ziggler for the title at say Survivor Series would make for a great match. And yeah, I'm still begging for the Shield to some how at some point be in a six man 2/3 falls submission match. I'll keep nagging and begging till I see it.
4) Wyatt Family. I've gone on record on GetGlue saying that I think the Wyatt's are either going to be connected to Brad Maddox or the Shield. I'm really leaning now to a story where Brad Maddox is a member of the Wyatt Family all this time, and would love love love to see a big feud form for the tag belts between the Shield and the Wyatt's.
Okay, that's how I see this weekend's ppv turning out, and the next few months.

Let's talk a bit about Seth Rollins
By now, you've heard me talk about how I chat with other fans on GetGlue.
Some of it's good, some not so much. Always interesting. Someone asked me earlier what it is that I like about Seth Rollins ? (aka Tyler Black) The guy in question was ranting about the whole Shield in general...and well you know me by now.
So my answer to him was that Seth Rollins could have a match against a sofa pillow and still make it seem like the greatest thing in decades, he's that damned good. That talented.
I've commented before countless of times, how I'm always in awe when I watch his matches, with the way he flies around the ring, the heights he manages, the skill he shows at submission matches.
I could go on like that for awhile. I can't say enough good stuff about him. (yeah bit of a fang-girlfan-girl) He needs more gold.
I like this dude, and was fairly pissed off when he lost the NXT title few months back. I like that currently, he's part of the tag champs (at the time of this posting) and that he's got a fairly large storyline. I just wish he'd do something about that hair. (yeah, the only bad thing I have to say about him is that I hate that half blonde half dark thing)
So, as I'm sitting here tonight chatting with people about wrestling, I just thought I would post about the hot topic.
I want to see Seth Rollins take over the show.
Love Ardeth Blood.

What I loved and hated about Payback 2013
In the plus side- the Preshow...it started right off with the match between Sheamus and Sandow. Really great back and forth for over 15 minutes, with a beauty of a move by Sandow putting Sheamus into the corner in a combo of a reverse neck-breaker-tree of woe. Both men got a few near falls, but the win went to Sheamus. I like that fact. If you've read some of my previous ppv recaps, you know in the past they have wasted way too much time with talk and crap with little to no time for a proper match.
The first match of the main ppv- was the Intercontinental Championship between Wade Barrett, Miz, and Curtis Axel. This was an obvious triple threat match. Barrett wore the blue and not the red like I had asked in the last post. Axel pinned Barrett's shoulders, but Miz had Barrett in the figure four at the same time. Interesting. Does that mean Axel actually beat both men? I'm not too happy about this outcome. I wanted Barrett to keep for another few months. Damn it! Barrett shouldn't have worn the blue all I'm saying.
Second- women's match. I didn't bother to watch this match. Someone I was chatting with on GetGlue told me that Dolph's manager won the belt.
I lost about 4 minutes here, as we had a thunder storm and the power went out.
Third- Shield member Dean Ambrose vs Kane for the U.S. title. And Ambrose kept the title, by a count out. You know I love that. That was beauty.
Fourth- Del Rio vs Dolph Ziggler. for the Heavyweight title. Damn, Ziggler took a bunch of strikes to the skull. The match should have been stopped at lest twice but never was. Del Rio got the win and the belt. But, you know, this was a sour win for me. I really hope Ziggler hasn't done real damage to himself with this match. It should never have gone on as long as it did.
Fifth- Jericho vs CM Punk. Punk looked like Wolverine. Not sure I like it on him, but it does make him look about ten years younger. And with two GTS Punk won. Seriously, did anyone have any doubts? No. I mean, how often do you see someone loose in their big return? or at their hometown for that matter? Never.
Sixth- Shield members Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs Bryan and Orton for the Tag Team belts. One move that Seth Rollins does that I love is that second-shelf-sudden-stop. I love watching Rollins do just about anything. And Rollins got the pin to win and kept the belts. I'm very happy. Very happy very happy, very. I've said it a few times before that I think Rollins has some bat in him, the way he just seems to fly around the ring, and the heights he gets when he does anything. Love it!
So yes, very happy all three members of the Shield won their matches and kept their belts!
Main event - Cena vs Ryback in a 3 stages of hell match. First part, a lumberjack match. And as the lumberjacks were coming out to the ring, I was thinking, half of those guys would have made a much better filler match then having wasted time on the women.
So round one went to Ryback.
Round two went to Cena. The tables round.
And winner is Cena. He managed to get Ryback into the ambulance. Giving him two wins out of three and managed to keep his belt.
So I spent my evening, chatting with other wrestling fans on GetGlue, and to say that many of the topics were divided is an understatement. Just the main event alone caused so much heat and havoc, that you would think it was life and death for some people.
Obviously, for me, the highlights of the night were the Shield matches. The low point, finding out that RVD is returning to WWE at the next ppv Money In The Bank. That news just right off ruined next month's ppv for me. Ruined!
But that's another rant for another ppv.

Can we see this at Payback?
Spudguns! (you haven't been called that in a long time on this blog eh? I know, I'm pulling out all the old catch phrases this week) I'm thinking, and I'm chatting with the morons...er um other so called wrestling fans, and I'm thinking some more, cause that's what I do most.
I think. And then I over think, then I have a coffee and over think some more.
What I would like to see happen at WWE Payback next week... uh huh. To be honest, not sure. But, I thought I'd come in here and slatter on a bit.
Well, I know that Wade Barrett has a match for his Intercontinental Championship in a three way vs Miz and Fandango. Notice I highlighted Mr. Barrett, that's cause he's the only important one in this match. I hope he hangs on to this belt till Summer Slam. Just cause. And wears the red.
The Tag Team belts currently held by part of the Shield Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. We know they are setting up to have them defend their titles, the question is, will it be against the members of Team Hell No- Bryan and Kane, or will it be against Bryan and someone new? That's a tough one? They are starting to show us that there are more tag teams in the company then we original were aware of. The Usos, Prime Time Players, Wyatt Family... personally, I'd like to see Shield in a six man with Dean Ambrose who is the current United States champion, against Hell No and Orton. And let the other listed tag teams battle it out in a Number #1 contenders match. I know that the Usos are looking to be the next in line, but really I'm loving Husky Harris...er um I mean Bray Wyatt and his Wyatt Family. (if you haven't been watching NXT, you'll understand when they jump over) But, getting back to the Shield, can we make that a six man 2/3 falls submissions match....PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! I keep begging every ppv I keep begging.
And just keeping inline with my desire to see NXT guys get a better push, would love to see Brad Maddox calling some of the matches at the ppv. Or whomever the current NXT Tag Champs are by then maybe sitting at ringside just observing the Shield...that's what I want.
Till Later, Love Ardeth Blood

They need a little push
Who would I like to see get a push in the course of the next few months in WWE?
Honestly, it's time to let Seth Rollins back on top for awhile. Yes, he's got some gold as half the Tag Team champs right now, and he's in the Shield, but he's sort of been hiding in the background the last while behind his curtain of hair. Let him take some of the lead for a bit. And you know maybe pick one colour and stick with it, still hoping to see him go back to full on dark side.
Brad Maddox, he has been holding his own on NXT but that's about it. He needs more air time in general.
Leo Kruger and Kassius Ohno. Damn it! They need to be given a big push onto Smackdown! Imagine what they could do if actually given a proper storyline. As a tag team, or as singles they could be good for the summer feud with anyone from Wade Barrett to even the Shield.
Think of the technical submission matches we could see if Ohno were allowed to dip into Smackdown against Rollins... sorry drooling now.
Well, that's what's on my mind on this Saturday morning.
Love Ardeth Blood

What I loved and hated about ...
Extreme Rules
pre-show... Miz won just as predicted. CRAP! The length of the match was okay but it could have been longer in my mind. I like that Wade Barrett was part of the pre-show, but would have liked to have more of him. I still think that pre-shows are not handled as well as they could be.
First up was Jericho vs Fandango... Well, Fandango's pants looked like someone melted crayons and smeared them all over him. Dude why? Jericho got the win clean with a codebreaker and a pin. I'm liking that Fandango was beat.
Shield match -Dean Ambrose vs Kofi Kingston.... Ambrose wore white. Nice! And get this, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns did not stick around. And you know what happened then...Ambrose cleaned house! The U. S. title is now on the waist of Shield. Match was a bit short for my tastes, but most matches these days are too short for my tastes.
Mark Henry vs Sheamus in a strap match. Sheamus got this. I have to say, I was wrong on my predictions here, and for once glad I was wrong.
Swagger vs Del Rio in an I Quit match for the number one contender spot. Del Rio got this with his armbreaker. This had some issues, because Zeb threw Del Rio's towel and the ref called the match giving it to Swagger, until he saw the replay and then restarted the match. Del Rio then won within seconds making Swagger scream I Quit.
Shield match- Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs Kane and Bryan. Tornado rules and it was the Tag Team belts on the line. Shield got the win. Love it! Love it! Match was decent length. And you have to love the fact that they did it clean.
Big Show vs Orton. This was a typical back and forth match. And Orton won. There wasn't any doubt.
Cena vs Ryback. Last Man Standing. Feel sorry for the "pit crew" who had to jump out of the way when they both went through the gates at the time keepers seats. This was a seemingly nasty, brutal finish. I have to admit, that they do so many fake injuries that I've long given up trying to tell when it's a scripted injury and when it's the real deal. No winner.
Brock vs Triple H. Brock had his knee messed up, midway through the match, which made me cringe and will no doubt set off nightmares of my own knee injury tonight, and Heyman ran into the cage getting jammed up by Triple H. And delivered a low blow on Triple H. Brock got the win. and there was no blood shed that I saw.
Okay, obviously, I loved the wins by the Shield. That was something I blogged about a month ago so seeing it come about made my week.
As I said earlier in the post, I love longer matches.
