Wrestling Wednesday 5 [The Elimination Chamber Edition]

BAAAMM!!


I'm in a good mood cause I can still smell what The Rock was cooking, so let's get down to our weekly routine..

Friday Night Smackdown


#1 - Edge, Randy Orton, John Morrison, R Truth, Rey Mysterio and John Cena vs CM Punk, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, Wade Barrett and Kane, 12-Man Tag Team match. A good match.. I'm surprised that everyone has a chance to show what he has in his tank in this match.. There's a great spot where Kane throws Mysterio out of the ring, and then Punk catches Mysterio with an ala-GTS knee from the ringside.. Near the end, Sheamus Brogue Kicked Edge, only to get Flash Kicked by Morrison, who gets Chokeslammed by Kane.. Cena picks Kane up for the Attitude Adjustment and he gets it.. And then Punk scores with the Go To Sleep on Cena.. BOOM!! RKO on Punk! McIntyre comes in with the Future Shock on Orton, and Truth hits the Lie Detector on McIntyre shortly afterwards.. Barrett follows with the Boss Man Slam (or the Scrapbuster, or basically a spinning side slam) on Truth.. I love that move.. Rey has got Barrett on the second rope, and so does he got Ziggler.. Double 619, followed by a Spear on Dolph.. 3-count fall.. Following the match, Vickie (excuse me) Guerrero fires Edge, and later on will crown Dolph the new World Heavyweight Champion.. **** match. Winner: Edge, Randy Orton, John Morrison, R Truth, Rey Mysterio and John Cena.


#2 - Eve and Beth Phoenix vs Maryse and Layla, Tag Team match. Michelle McCool is on commentary, having an injured leg or foot or something.. At the end, Beth beats Michelle's injured foot or whatever and subsequently distracts the referee, leaving Eve alone in the ring to be double-teamed.. Pinfall.. *** match. Winner: Layla and Maryse.


#3 - Kofi Kingston vs Miz, Singles match. Alberto Del Rio (with no Ricardo Rodriguez?? boooooo...) distracts Kofi while Alex Riley is keeping the referee busy, allowing the Miz to hit a Skull Crushing Finale on Kofi.. So let me get this straight.. Del Rio is a Wrestlemania 27 main-eventer, yet his only appearance on Smackdown is an interference on Kofi's match?? ***1/2 match. Winner: Miz.


#4 - Corre vs Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, Tag Team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater represents the Corre in this match.. Ends with a DQ when Wade Barrett and Ezekiel Jackson beat the hell out of Santino.. Big Show comes in for the save.. **1/2 match. Winner: Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov.


#5 - Edge vs Dolph Ziggler, Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Theodore Long returns and reinstates Edge.. Edge wins with a Spear.. Teddy fires Dolph.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Edge.


The 600th episode? Well, let me correct myself.. The average 600th episode.. Good to hear those Eddie chants (RIP Eddie Guerrero)..

Sunday Night Elimination Chamber

#1 - Alberto Del Rio vs Kofi Kingston, Singles match. Damas y caballeros, el es Albertoooooo Dellllll Rioooooo!! A back and forth match.. A sweet spot where Kofi goes for a diving cross body block on Del Rio and was reversed mid-air with a double knee to the sternum.. And of course, Ricardo (damas y caballeros, el es) Rodriguez plays his part by distracting the referee at one time.. Anyway, Del Rio makes Kofi tap out with his Flying Armbar.. **** match. Winner: Alberto Del Rio.


#2 - Kane vs Drew McIntyre vs Wade Barrett vs Big Show vs Rey Mysterio vs Edge, Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship. First 2 men are Edge and Mysterio.. They are also the final 2.. Man, I never thought that the first of two Elimination Chamber matches would involve as much shattered glasses as we see here in this one.. Mysterio and Barrett are 2 of the guys who have tasted the glass pods in the match.. Anyway, Edge wins after a mid-air Spear and a pinfall.. ****1/2 match. Winner: Edge.


#3 - Vladimir Kozlov and Santino Marella vs Corre, Tag Team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. We see the Cobra baybee! Anyway, Kozlov gets pinned after a 450 Splash by the sternum-crushing Justin Gabriel.. New tag champs, Gabriel and Heath Slater.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Corre.


#4 - Miz vs Jarry Lawler, Singles match for the WWE Championship. The King almost wins at one point (are you kidding me?), but the Miz gets the rope.. Hell, the King even tries for his Piledriver, but of course you won't be able to see that move in the WWE ever again.. Skull Crush, and it's a successful title retain.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Miz.


#5 - Randy Orton vs R Truth vs CM Punk vs John Cena vs Sheamus vs John Morrison, Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Champion #1 Contendership. Sheamus and Morrison start things up.. At one point, Punk gets stuck in his pod as it won't open.. Hence Orton beats the pulp outta him and owns him with the RKO for the 3-count.. Then the Raw GM interrupts the match and orders Punk to enter his pod again as he deserves a second chance.. Numerous parkour spots by Morrison which also leads to the elimination of Sheamus.. Last 2 men, Punk and Cena.. Cena AA'd Punk fron the ring to the metal floor.. ****1/2 match. Winner: John Cena.


And again, John Cena is headlining Wrestlemania.. Urgh.. Good to see Trish Stratus back..

Monday Night Raw


#1 - John Morrison vs Cm Punk, Singles match. Punk wins with a Go To Sleep.. **** match. Winner: CM Punk.


#2 - Bella Twins vs Eve and Gail Kim, Tag Team match. The Bellas get the victory after a switcharoo into a small package.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Bella Twins.


#3 - Sheamus vs Mark Henry, Singles match. Mark Henry getting a push = greatness.. The World's Strongest Slam puts the decision against Sheamus.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Mark Henry


#4 - Corre vs Miz and John Cena, Tag Team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The Skull Crushing Finale to Justin Gabriel puts him down for the count.. Hell, even Cena and Heath Slater didn't expect to see the Miz wins so quickly.. After the match, Wade Barrett quickly invokes the Corre's rematch clause.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Miz and John Cena.


#5 - Corre vs Miz and John Cena, Tag Team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The Miz gets himelf controlled by the Corre for almost the whole match, beginning with the interference by Ezekiel jackson.. Cena's going for the AA, then the Miz comes in to Skull Crush Cena while Slater is on his shoulder.. At first I thought it's a frickingawesome double team move, but I guess I was wrong.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Corre


Average night.. They should have The Rock on the show, but I guess he's only coming for Wrestlemania.. Good to see the Undertaker and Triple H back.. And also knowing that Jim Duggan will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame.. Hoooooo!!

So that's it.. Now let's take some time to discuss about this blog.. I am actually getting kinda bored to write about music and wrestling.. Besides, I don't wanna get caught in yet another copyright infringement conflict.. Therefore, I would like to announce that this marks the final Wrestling Wednesday of my blog.. And yes, there will no longer be any new Music Mondays or Tuesdays.. From now on, there will only be one blog per week, which is the Frictional Blog.. I don't really think I'm in the mood to talk about music and wrestling as I'm being distant with my S.O.. So from now on, all you will see in this blog are stories of my personal life.. I will seldomly talk about wrestling yet still, because wrestling has been a tiny part of my life (you know the biggest part of my life is my S.O right?) for quite some time now.. So, until then.. Make sure you'll be there..

Short note to my S.O: Screw music.. Screw wrestling.. I'm focusing on you, you, and only you.. Love you.. :)

Music Tuesday 5 [The Lady Antebellum Edition]

BAAAMM!!


I am back.. Not much to say.. Except for the fact that Lady Gaga has just produced a theme song for the LGBT.. Really?? Negative charges don't attract negatives.. There's a reason for the existence of positive charges.. Same goes to males and females.. (if you're my S.O and you're reading this, I love you :D) Now, let's go to our weekly routine..

Artist Of The Week - Lady Antebellum

Yeah, it's the Grammy-winning, quarter-after-one-yet-still-not-sleeping trio.. Since they have won 5 - yes, 5 - Grammys recently, this post will be circling around them.. Lady Antebellum consists of (yeah, surprisingly 'Lady' is not a female, but a combination of one with 2 guys) Charles Kelley as the guy voice, Dave Haywood as the guitarist/pianist and Hillary Scott as the girl voice.. And unbelievably, the powerful voice of Hillary has gotten herself to be rejected twice on American Idol.. What the firetruck were those Idol judges thinking?? Shame on you guys, as Hillary and the boys had just won 5 Grammys, mostly thanks to their hit single, Need You Now..

Song Of The Week - Lady Antebellum - Need You Now
This is like the song of 2010.. Awesome song.. Actually, I had no interest of listening to this song until my S.O talked to me about it.. Then I did some research about Lady Antebellum and found out that they're a trio.. When I told my S.O about that, she was just as shocked as I was.. Great song, nonetheless.. This song describes my feeling, being apart from her for quite some time.. Of course, except for the "a little drunk" and "another shot of whiskey" parts.. I don't drink alcohols..

Album Of The Week - Lady Antebellum - Need You Now

Not a great album.. Don't download it.. Why?? Because it's an awesome album.. You should go buy it.. Except if you're a moneyless guy like me.. Check out Our Kind Of Love, American Honey and, of course, Need You Now..

Frictional Friday 4 [The Boresome, Uninteresting Edition]

BAAAMM!!


I left everyone waiting for this post for, like, forever (that is considering that I have any loyal readers, which I almost certainly have none).. And all I have to offer for this post is a short note to my S.O?? Haha. Haha. HAHA. I am pathetic.. Sorry you guys, but I need to make it up to my S.O, for being the most boresome, uninteresting, and (yes, you see this word coming from miles away) pathetic human being in the whole world.. Wonderful, ain't it? I hope she'll read it (though I know that my S.O doesn't even aware of the existence of this blog.. meh, maybe one day I'll tell her)..

And for those who didn't know yet (I believe that's everyone, and I also take note that those people aren't interested with this blog), this blog has just been resurrected with a new schedule nonetheless.. Basically, my weekly routine from now on is Music Thursday, Wrestling Wednesday and Frictional Thursday.. Stay tuned.. Make sure you'll be there..

NOTE TO MY S.O: I am sorry for being the most boresome and uninteresting entity in this world.. And I will do anything to make it up to you.. Will you please forgive me and try to contact me as frequent as possible? Please.. Without you I am nothing.. Maybe once a week.. Nevertheless, sorry.. Thank you.. I always love you..

Wrestling Wednesday 4 [The Quickie Thursday Edition]

BAAAMM!!


Quick review of this week in wrestling..

[Right hand raised] We pledge allegiance to the Nexus, one nation under Punk, indivisible, with integrity, and sobriety for all!!


Now, on to my weekly routine..


Friday Night Smackdown


#1 - Edge vs Kane, Last Man Standing match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Edge scores the 10-count after a Spear followed by a 1-man Conchairto to the knee of Kane.. **** match. Winner: Edge


#2 - Dolph Ziggler vs Kofi Kingston, Singles match for the Intercontinental Championship. Kofi gets a pinfall victory after a diving cross body block.. After the match, Ziggler ambushes the new champion with a Zig Zag, and Vickie Guerrero (ahemm, excuse me), as the official consultant of Theodore Long, orders for the match to be restarted.. **** match. Winner: Kofi Kingston


#3 - Dolph Ziggler vs Kofi Kingston, Singles match for the Intercontinental Championship. Losing for the 2nd time in a night is Ziggler, who is down for the count after Kingston hits the Trouble In Paradise.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Kofi Kingston


#4 - Big Show vs Cody Rhodes vs Dolph Ziggler vs Drew McIntyre, Fatal 4 Way match for the World Heavyweight Champion #1 Contendership. Slated to be a Triple Threat match between Show, Rhodes and McIntyre, but Vickie Guerrero (ahemm, excuse me.. again) adds Ziggler to the equation.. Notable in this match is the interference of Wade Barrett, who has come to assault Show during this no-DQ match.. Winner by a 3-count fall on Rhodes after a Zig Zag, Ziggler.. **** match. Winner: Dolph Ziggler


#5 - Kelly Kelly vs Michelle McCool, Singles match. McCool counters the K2 into the Faithbreaker for the 3-count.. After the match, Laycool hit a double forward Russian Leg Sweep to Kelly.. After Laycool add some insult to injury, Drew McIntyre comes in for the save.. Face turn, anyone?? *** match. Winner: Michelle McCool


#6 - Alberto Del Rio vs Rey Mysterio, 2 Out Of 3 Falls match. The 1st fall goes to Del Rio, making Mysterio tap out to the Cross Armbreaker.. The 2nd one is achieved by Mysterio, using a La Magistral to pin Del Rio.. The last fall is a countout, after (damas y caballeros, el es..) Ricardo Rodriguez holds Mysterio's legs to prevent him from reentering the ring.. ****1/2 match. Winner: Alberto Del Rio


A very interesting episode.. I've read the spoilers, and next week's Smackdown will be huge.. But sorry, no spoilers here.. Good times: the Last Man Standing match, Barrett's interference, Big Show receiving finishers from Rhodes, McIntyre and Ziggler, Ricardo Rodriguez (seriously), Del Rio's main event push..


Monday Night Raw


#1 - Alberto Del Rio vs R Truth, Singles match. A Tag Team match is supposed to be the opener, but is cut short after the New Nexus beat the hell out of Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov.. Winner via countout and another grab-your-legs-style interference from (damas y caballeros, el es..) Ricardo Rodriguez, Del Rio.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Alberto Del Rio


#2 - Daniel Bryan and Mark Henry vs Ted DiBiase Jr and Tyson Kidd, Tag Team match.. Bryan should have got the victory for his team.. But thanks to crappy booking, Henry pins Kidd after a World's Strongest Slam.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Mark Henry and Daniel Bryan


#3 - John Morrison vs Sheamus, Singles match. Morrison wins after the running knee (or kick) and a pin.. ***1/2 match. Winner: John Morrison


#4 - Alex Riley and Miz vs Jerry Lawler and Randy Orton, Tag Team match. Lawler scores the pin on Riley after an RKO, followed by a vintage Diving Fist Drop.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Jerry Lawler and Randy Orton


Just a bit above average.. I'm not really into the New Nexus initiation thingy.. Good times: the New Nexus T-shirt, Shawn Michaels' Hall Of Fame induction announcement, his Sweet Chin Music to Del Rio, Cena saying "ass" on Raw, Jerry Lawler in action..

Superstar Of The Week - Alberto Del Rio


Del Rio (real name Alberto Rodriguez) was born on March 25, 1977 in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.. He has won a World Championship during his tenure in CMLL, wrestling under the name of Dos Caras Jr.. His father, Dos Caras, is known as the greatest heavyweight wrestler ever to come out of Mexico.. Using the flying armbar (named the Cross Armbreaker by the commentators) as his finisher, he has just won 2 falls on Smackdown and a match on Raw, besides getting Sweet Chin Music'd by Shawn Michaels this past week.. Hey, not many can claim that he has been Superkicked by the Heartbreak Kid though.. 




So that's it.. Until next week.. And tomorrow, for if you're following my Frictional Friday.. Make sure you'll be there..


Short note to my S.O: I'd wait forever if you ask me to.. :)
