My first Wrestling Wednesday is here!! Here I am going to review last week's Smackdown, the TLC pay-per-view and the latest Monday night Raw!! (no Tribute To The Troops and Superstars, sorry) And by the way, I will only review the matches.. So if you're not down with that, sorry..
Friday Night Smackdown
Watch while this vid is not taken down..
#1 - Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger vs Kaval and Kofi Kingston, Tag Team match. Sweet! Kaval's second victory on Smackdown! Kaval deserves a huge push.. Seriously.. Beautiful double suicide dive (or tope, whatever) by Kaval and Kofi.. Awesome counter by Kaval, from a roll up to a standing Warrior's Way.. A great back and forth match, where Kofi pinned Dolph after the Trouble In Paradise.. After the match, Jack dropped Dolph with a stiff punch.. **** match. Winner: Kofi Kingston and Kaval
#2 - Chris Masters vs Cody Rhodes, Singles match. A quick, short match booked to push Cody.. It's kinda awesome to see Cody getting the push that he deserves, but burying Chris is not.. I would not condone a slap in a wrestling match, but that slap Chris gave Cody was sick!! Listen to the shot!! Chris doing a knife edge chop.. I thought it was banned?? Whatever.. Cody pinned Chris after the Cross Rhodes.. **1/2 match. Winner: Cody Rhodes
#3 - Miz vs Rey Mysterio, Singles match. An above average match.. It's good to see matches like this on a WWE televised show.. Alex Riley continued to show his 'loyalty' (some would call it s*cking up) to the Miz.. And then we have Alberto Del Rio interfering.. Epic interference there!! Look at the way he tripped Rey while Rey was trying for a 619.. That was awesome!! Alberto is golden (except for his mic skills, of course).. Miz got the pin after countering a springboard splash by Rey.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Miz
#4 - Chavo Guerrero and Tyler Reks vs Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, Tag Team match. Again, a push/bury match.. Santino and Vladimir gets pushed while Chavo's career is running straight to the ground.. Why the hell is Tyler joining Chavo's ride to flop?? Santino and Vlad was awesome, as always.. Now that's pure entertainment.. Santino won via a school boy after hitting the Cobra.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov
#5 - Alberto Del Rio and Miz vs Edge and Rey Mysterio, Tag Team match. I hate it when a superstar wrestles in 2 match at the same night.. Except for a case of tournament.. Another tag match?? Wow.. Let me keep this short and sweet.. Kane comes in and smacks Edge down.. DQ victory, I guess.. And they went for a brawl, as the whole roster tried to split them up.. Boom!! Chokeslam to Trent Baretta.. Bam!! Spear to kane.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Edge and Rey Mysterio
Overall, a great episode of Smackdown.. Good times: Kaval won, Dashing tips from Cody Rhodes, Kaitlyn backstage, Santino and Vladimir Kozlov..
Sunday Night TLC

#2 - Beth Phoenix and Natalya Neidhart vs Laycool, Tag Team Tables match. A flawless match, except for the way Beth bumped her neck when being thrown by Michelle McCool.. The finish is quite awesome too.. Natalya with a diving cross body onto Laycool through a pink table.. One of the best diva matches of the year.. **** match. Winner: Natalya and Beth Phoenix.
#3 - Nexus vs Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, for the Tag Team Championship, Tag Team match. Totally Lethal Cobra!! Yet another failed ending to an entertaining match.. Duh.. On behalf oh Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel, Michael McGillicutty interfered thus resulting to a DQ.. After the match, the Nexus strikes again.. Wade Barrett joins in and smacks Santino and Vladimir with a chair.. *** match. Winner: Santino Marella and Vladimri Kozlov
#4 - John Morrison vs Sheamus O'Shaunessy for the WWE Champion #1 Contendership, Ladder match. Back and forth and back and forth and back yet still going further.. Cool match.. John + ladder = awesomeness.. Sheamus went through hell, yet is still fighting back.. Crazy.. John grabs the contract after knocking Sheamus down long enough with a Flash Kick-like move.. **** match. Winner: John Morrison
#5 - Miz vs Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, Tables match. Not really what I was expecting, but cool.. Randy powerbombs the loyal Alex Riley through the table, just to be Skull Crushing Finaled by the Miz.. Miz moves Alex from the broken table and puts Randy in that place.. The ref wakes up and thought that it was over, hence the bell is rang.. But that ref catches the replay, and restarts the match.. Miz launches Alex onto Randy who falls from the apron through a table.. Bam.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Miz
#6 - Alberto Del Rio vs Edge vs Kane vs Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship, TLC match. When Edge is in a TLC match, it's a great match.. Nuff said.. Edge Spears Kane from the apron onto a table, climbed a ladder and unhooks the title.. **** match. Winner: Edge
#7 - John Cena vs Wade Barrett, Chairs match. Of all the glorified titles in the company, none of it is on the line in the main event.. What match would've end this night?? John Cena's match.. Boo hoo.. Yes, I'm not a Cena fan.. Attitude Adjustment on Wade onto heaps of chairs, and Supercena did it again.. The ending failed.. Wade saved the rating of the match.. *** match. Winner: John Cena
Overall, a good pay-per-view.. It's not great, thanks to the main event winner.. Good times: epic matches, Beth Phoenix's supremacy, Santino and Vladimir Kozlov's slot, Nexus attack, twisty ending in several matches, Laycool through a pink table, Edge in a TLC match, CM Punk commentating the main event..
Monday Night Raw
Watch while this vid is not taken down..
#1 - Alicia Fox vs Eve Torres vs Melina Perez for the Divas Champion #1 Contendership, Triple Threat match. It's great to see 3 talented going against each other in the ring while another is commentating.. The Divas Champion, Natalya Neidhart is on commentary.. Melina rolls Alicia for the pin as a counter of a cross body block doomsday device.. Yeah, sounds awesome, doesn't it? Natalya comes into the ring to congratulate the new #1 contender for her title, only to get b*tchslapped by Melina.. Heel turn, heel turn, yeah, yeah!! ***1/2 match. Winner: Melina Perez
#2 - Daniel Bryan vs William Regal, Singles match. 2 of the most technically sound superstars compete in the ring, while the Bella Twins accompany one of them.. Half of the statement just doesn't sound right.. William submitted out of the LeBell Lock.. ****1/2 match. Winner: Daniel Bryan
#3 - Maryse Ouellet and Ted DiBiase Jr vs Santino Marella and Tamina Snuka, Mixed Tag Team match. Santino's awesome, as always.. Ted, uhmm, no comment.. Tamina pins Maryse after a Superfly.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Tamina Snuka and Santino Marella
#4 - Dolph Ziggler vs John Cena, Singles match. Supercena wins, Attitude Adjustment.. CM Punk smacks John with a steel chair to give John a taste of his own medicine.. God bless Phil Brooks.. ***1/2 match. Winner: John Cena
#5 - Alex Riley, Miz and Sheamus O'Shaunessy vs Jerry Lawler, John Morrison and Randy Orton, 6 Men Tag Team match. Where else can we see 2 kings on the opposite corners?? Where else can we see former tag team buddies (even champions at some time) on the opposite corners?? And where else can we see Randy and Alex on the opposite corners?? Well, forget the last part.. It's meaningless.. Jerry in action again!! Hooray!! Jerry scores the victory pin after the Miz got RKOed by Randy.. **** match. Winner: Jerry Lawler, John Morrison and Randy Orton
Another great WWE TV programming.. Good times: CM Punk's commentary, Melina's heel turn, Santino and Vladimir Kozlov's skit, CM Punk smacking John Cena with a chair, Jerry Lawler in action, Daniel Bryan takes on his mentor William Regal..
Well, that's it for this week's Wrestling Wednesday. A great week, nonetheless.. Come back next week for another exciting (never meant to brag, but, haha) review of WWE Monday Night Raw and Tuesday Night Smackdown.. Yes, Tuesday night.. And I will only have my Superstar of the Week column on PPV-less week.. So stay tuned for that.. Also, this Friday will be my first Frictional Friday as I will talk about something personal for me; MY LIFE.. Yes, I'm still thinking of what the hell am I supposed to write about on Fridays.. Until then.. Make sure you'll be there..
Short note to my S.O: Good to have a small chat with you on Facebook.. When I say small, it means 18 sent and 16 received words.. Well, that's enough to call December 22nd, 2010 a good day.. :)
