Paul Bearer: The Ultimate Manager ‘Oh Yeah!’

2 weeks ago on Smackdown, in my opinion the greatest manager in WWE returned. It was of course the pale faced former undertaker, Paul Bearer. He arrived in a normal manner for him, from within a coffin. His return was not just surprise to Kane but it was also surprise to most of the fans. His return made almost perfect storyline sense (I will explain later some of the flaws) and it has made sure that the Hell in a Cell PPV will be really interesting.

Now before I get a hundred of emails telling me that Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan or the late Captain Lou Albano were better managers and don’t get me wrong I am not saying they are not good managers. But what I am saying is that Paul Bearer is the best. The reason as far as I am concerned why Bearer is best is because unlike other managers who had lot of wrestler under their control who were all different, Bearer only managed a certain type of Wrestler, for example: Kane, Mankind (during his darker days), Vader and The Undertaker. All of these wrestlers were demonic monsters or dark twisted individuals. Bearers look actually suits the roles of an evil undertaker; he has pale skin amplified by makeup, deep bags under his eyes and an eerie high pitched voice capable of delivering the perfect promos.

Now there is one flaw in the Paul Bearer return angle and that is the fact at the Great American Bash 2004 The Undertaker buried Bearer in a glass crypt full of concrete and attempted to ‘kill him’ apparently Bearer was seriously injured due to the event. In reality he went away for lose lots of weight which was good for him because he looks a lot healthier for it. But I do wonder how storyline wise they cover the whole Concrete crypt situation cause if they do a classic WWE pretend it never happened and moved on it will make the whole situation awful. Although there are lots of our younger fans who probably have no idea what I am talking about as they never followed WWE in 2004. This is a shame because they missed some pretty good times. I recommend that the young fans buy or rent DVDs from the 80s and 90s and the early 00s if they haven’t seen footage from that time. This is something that O’Dea had to do as he was a late to get into WWE.

WWE Play-by-Play Notes for Friday Night Smackdown June 4th 2010

• God that Kane opening promo was strange, that's the loudest I've heard WWE since the late 80s, or you know TNA est. 2010
• Cowards don't cry
• Did you see that little thing Kane did to his hand when he started to break down, Booker T
• I don't understand, does vegetative state mean dead.
• I hope that doesn't back fire for WWE
• Last time they tried to Kill Off a character (Mr. McMahon), a Real Person died (Benoit)
• Here comes Jack Swagger with his fake Sooners Jersey, if it were real it would say "Hager", retards
• See I'm from the UK and I automatically knew the rivalry and cheap heat that Swagger gained by wearing that top in Texas
• I think that Jack Swagger would make a better Pro on NXT than MVP, I mean MVP got replaced before the first season started, remember he would have had Skip Sheffield as a Rookie
• When MVP is in the corner, I think that Swagger needs to work out how to pull punches that look realistic
• Jack is Building himself as a major champion and I'm really enjoying some of the work he's been doing recently as Champ, I'm just sorry that the best he had for "Over The Limit" was Big Show
• What is that "Pay Dirt"-like Move MVP is doing "305"? It's shockingly rubbish to watch
• Nice long match there I just think there could have been more at the end there
• Now I have to say I haven't watched Smackdown in Full recently, which is naughty, so I kinda don't know everything about Hawkins and Archer. 30 Days to make an impact, and one week left, haha, I missed everything in that angle.
• lol I'm watching a Australian Version and it has an ad for a SD! Live Tour..... Featuring the Undertaker.
• Dallas is 100s of JBLs walking around (laugh out loud)
• I'm glad they used Superstars & Smackdown to review the NXT Season Finale, Certainly better than Raw Rebound, but they did miss the funny parts in the Otunga-Barrett Face Off, that was hilarious
• Guilt smells, but not of drugs, smoke or alcohol
• Here we go with the Intercontinental Championship
• So it's Boom Boom Boom vs Miserable Bastard #1
• Matt Striker is a Great Misunderstood Mind
• "To the Face!"
• Matt Hardy has a Front Row Seat on the most out of place seat in the world
• That Backwards Roll out of the ring over the bottom rope was clever and athletic and missed
• Oh yeah, forgot that Kofi has become like R-Truth, he's turned one of his normal moves into a finisher because he hadn't been allowed to do it since his feud with Randy Orton. FYI, it's the S.O.S.
• Look, it's WWE Sign Guy again, I mean I haven't seen him like all week, since like Thursday
• OMG what a shity backhand from McIntyre to Hardy
• So Kofi hits the SOS and Matt hits the Twist of Fate, then runs like a bat out of hell and Matt Striker becomes a Law Student
• Kane, Rey was only trying to be a nice little Christian with his mask that matches his T-Shirt
• What is the Fatal-4-Way Theme, I likey
• Things are getting bad when you have to do sponsored highlights from earlier in the night.
• So we are about 2/3rds of the way through the show and we've only had 2 matches, good? Bad? Two long matches but neither 100%
• Oh My! It's JR's Theme, nope its just Jack singing and an awkward silence with Kane
• ROSA! KELLY!
• Todd is the Jerry Lawler of SD! but never gets so close to the prize.
• Wait, I'm gonna go out on a limb here... I don't really care right now who did something to Taker.
• NXT Pros & Co-Women's Champs Lay-Cool look on
• Josh Matthews & Matt Striker are Besties, I wonder what they share
• Watching Kelly vs Rosa was painful, whereas when I watched Gail Kim vs Jillian Hall on Superstars I enjoyed it and it was better than literally every single male and female match on Raw
• so this Monday it's 3Hour Viewers Choice, just go to WWE.com and wait until we're ready to tell you what I happening with that.
• So "Showstopper" by Toby Mac is Fatal-4-Way Theme, might have to look that up
• Taker has always had Big Show's number, why don't you call?
• Look it's Little C**t sorry Bastard sorry Horny T**t sorry PLEASE GET OFF TV
• Again with the extended highlights from earlier in the night, I'm not a Goldfish or are they trying to make it look like I'm watching this from next week
• What's the difference between a normal Battle Royale and a Smackdown Battle Royale, F*** Knows, because it's the main event and only the 4 Match of the Night
• "Call Mine a Perfect 10"
• Look! It's Finlay, I thought he was too old, hey Vince. Don't worry I don't mind he's a Road Agent and I don't think he minds either, at his age. Oooops
• "Slowly Making his way to the Ring Drew McIntyre"
• Go on Christian this is your best chance in years
• CM Punk nearly got demasked, that was a strange side-bit
• Wait, where's Cody Rhodes, he wasn't on Superstars this week either, apparently he was last week as well
• "Someone's been eliminated"
• "There goes a Dudebuster onto another Dudebuster"
• Kofi eliminated Drew and Himself, that's a sign that in the next couple of months that'll be the emotional rivalry on Smackdown
• I'm surprised at how well Archer, Finlay and Hawkins are doing
• Curt Hawkins looks like hes put on weight since Zach Ryder dumped him
• God that hooded attacker from the SES
• Shut up Matt about emotional state of Kane
• Short Term memory loss of the WWE Universe forgetting the rather aggressive (but slightly rubbish) feud that Rey and Kane had (no thanks to Mike Adamle)
• Before the end of the show Rey mouthed "One More Time", that sounds so dirty not in context, and considering he's only won the WHC once, I have not idea what he's on about.
• That's a Wrap.

SmackDown Invade Monday Night Raw Tonight, It's Official & Undertaker Will Be There

From WWE.com:
With the volcanic eruption in Europe stranding the majority of the Raw roster, WWE’s flagship show is going blue. Even as the cast of the film MacGruber takes the reins as special guest hosts for the potentially cataclysmic show in East Rutherford, N.J., Triple H prepares to share the ring with several top SmackDown Superstars.

Although Raw is trapped in Belfast, Ireland, the SmackDown Superstars were able to arrive in Newark by charter early this morning, after traveling through the night by bus to get to a place where they could take off.

Can the cast of MacGruber control the molten-hot situation that could erupt on Raw? Find out tonight at 9/ 8 CT only on USA Network.

For the first time since the fallout of Wrestlemania weeks ago, The Phenom makes a live appearance tonight on Monday Night Raw. How will the Undertaker and his fellow SmackDown Superstars have their impact felt, live on the USA Network.

Smackdown Crew Back in the States, Raw Crew Are Stuck, And it isn't going to get better any time soon

As of this writing, flight restricted on all air travel has been extended until 7:00pm on Sunday Night and is still expected to continue well into next week as the ash cloud hangs over Europe. Though on the other hand, it looks like the Smackdown Crew have made it back to the USA via Madrid and two cancelled events.

Matt Hardy Tweeted:
"Just landed in Newark, NJ after traveling & working for almost 54 HOURS STRAIGHT!! I have NEVER experienced anything close to this! USA USA! Went through a helluva journey with the BLUE Team traveling/working without a bed for well over 2 straight days-so excited 2 shower & sleep!"

Chris Jericho:
"Just landed in Newark. 47 hrs without a bed but at least we've escaped from under ashened skies..."

Women's Champion Michelle McCool:
"Holy smokes....we made it back to USA! Consensus calculates 56 hours!!!!! This was unbelievable! Cramped shuttle, overheated bus, etc..Some great one liners on our bus ride tho!:)"

Beth Phoneix:
"Thank u to my fellow SmackDown superstars divas and all crew members. We are home safe and I'm very grateful. Sending best wishes and safe travels to the Raw crew. This natural disaster has brought out the strength in the entire WWE company."

And even though he was in the States all the time, Jim Ross weighted in:
"Smackdown crew arrived in nyc @ 1 am Sunday morning. 47 hrs w/o a bed. Now THAT'S a european vacation sans Chevy Chase & Cousin Eddie."

Kofi Kingston, who is on the Raw Tour, didn't really give anything of his situation away this morning:
"sooo...this volcano business is the real deal, eh?"

And just before leaving Europe yesterday night, Mickie James Tweeted this:
"Just got to the airport here in madrid. Phones been dead for hours now... Wow? U don't realize how dependent u r to it until u don't have it... But then again... It was quite peaceful... Time with my thoughts... Reflection is always a good thing... Sometimes u just gotta roll with the punches... "What did u say to the kid Rock? Its not how hard u hit... Its how hard u get hit... And get back up"

Obviously some other Divas have taken their situation bit more lightly, here's the new Divas Champion Eve Torres:
"Thank you for all of your concern for our travels. We don't know how or when were getting back to the states, but I do know one thing... If I'm stuck in Belfast, I'm having a shopping and spa day! The only things to make a girl missing home feel better."

And the former Divas Champion Maryse:
"If we don't make it on time for raw monday we will miss Ryan Phillipe, OMG, cruel intention! I'm freakin out!...... What's the BEST spa in Belfast??????"


Dolph Ziggler:
"Finally back in the USA! I would kiss the ground, if my mouth wasnt so busy already... ;)"

John Morrison:
"Planes, trains, and the worst bus ride ever (23 hours!) our bus could only go 15 mph up hills! Finally back in the USA! Never thought I'd be so glad to be in New Jersey! http://twitpic.com/1gi2xe"

Now some notes from Tuesday's NXT also as everything this week, from the O2 Arena:

• I think the Recap from last week made Slater look weak against Kane, he had a better performance
• Don't forget there are only 4 weeks before the first elimination
• Did Michael Cole just call Josh Matthews, Jack
• FYI, the UK NXT airs at 11pm on a Thursday so not many people see it
• Therefore David Otunga with Monday Night Experience gets one of the biggest responces
• "RUN NXT" I like that T-Shirt
• Michael Traver IS the pressure
• "A-List" is an official WWE Copyright
• Raw wasn't "LIVE" Matt Striker
• Justin Gabriel has been helped a lot by being with Matt Hardy, that was a good mix
• Gabriel vs Cena @ Wrestlemania 29 ?
• "Not just an American Audience" really, well done Matt
• STOP saying "Tonight", "Tonight", "Tonight"
• It's a good prize to create their entrance theme, but actually I think it helps them coming out to their Pro's music
• 10 Minutes before the Competition even started, wasting time.
• Daniel Bryan SUCKS!
• Love Cole's Comments, "Mr. Charisma"
• I can't spell Blazaie
• Wade, that was good.
• Haha, Justin, "Roses are Red, Voilets are Blue and I'm the Best in the World at what I do"
• The English Crowd can't connect to a Rose, WTF? It's not the 1500s
• Love the Booooooos from the UK Crowd, No one knows what those varities are
• David Otunga doesn't get sleep, Miss Hudson is lonley tonight. And put Josh Matthews.
• First time we've actually heard Skip Speaking but that's alright that he got some time on the mic.
• "Who Are Ya!" - No one apparently
• Toothpaste, shut your mouth Darren Young, "that's PG right"
• Tarver is Angry and no one knows who he is?
• Haha, not so liked are you Heath & Danielson
• Bubblegum, Shot, don't say Brands no one knows what those are and most of Skips talk-off was shots of Wade Barrett
• "Wind" haha farts, oh "The Winds of Change", NICE. Pandering to the Crowd what a dude.
• My Days that segment was 21 Minutes, thats longer or as long as some Family Guy Episodes (you know minius Ads)
• Wait so they have 3 matches to fit in less than half an hour, so they ad in a rather Pointless Raw Rebound (I would think that all those who watch NXT watch Raw) great timing their WWE
• I respect Jack Swagger, he did a match with Kane in Nottingham then drove 2 and half hours to make the last minutes of the Raw Taping in London.
• Oh there's Dizzee Rascal!
• (8) My Time to Shine (8)
• I'm looking forward to Extreme Rules
• I HATE recaps
• I LOVE CM Punk, nice backstage segment.
• "Nothing but a Punk"
• So it's Christian versus Wade Barrett, this should be good
• Chris Jericho talking to the Cole/Matthews, love it.
• "Stay Down, Christian, Stay Down!"
• I think that Michael Cole & Josh Matthews NXT Commentary is like a guilty pleasure, because it's a rare thing in WWE
• Everyone is after Josh Matthews, Michael "Who are ya" Tarver & Dolph Ziggler
• Heath Slater gets a sly look from Christian, nice.
• David Otunga was on Access Hollywood &&& What!? After that there is less than 10 minutes for two matches
• Daniel Bryan is the Susan Boyle of the WWE, Priceless.
• Miz is a Psycho, love it.
• Cole is eating it up.
• Michael Cole Soapbox.
• Love the fact that Michael Cole is the Joey Styles of the Original ECW. I still love Cole-Matthews Banter and the fact that Cole has an view on NXT makes it all better.
• Regal-Bryan should have been a 20 minute Main Event not 2 minute thing, Bryan is now 0-8, well he's had a match every week, the other NXT Rookies cannot say that, still he got his mouth f**ked up.
• No Responce to Luke Gallow's Music, it sounds freaky.
• I can't believe this is the Main Event, and the fact it has literally seconds to go.
• That's different, red crosses on Punk's hands couldn't he find any back marker pen in Europe. And yes that is more interesting than this match. And also that random cut-out to Hardy/Gabriel, about 5 seconds before Young won.
• That a rubbish way to finish the show, it did nothing, I'm sorry nothing.

Now to Thursday Night and officially WWE's most dull show, mostly thanks to the commentary, WWE Superstars (and the one I wrote the least for, I wonder why?):

• Todd Grisham welcomes to us to Superstars where it's a Raw Mid-Card Main Event MVP-DiBiase
• Here comes Hardy, apparently this entrance had to be re-recorded.
• Carlito, Mr. WWE Superstars, remember he is going to quit soon.
• Irony, Matt Striker said that WWE Superstars (Smackdown) would be visiting Istanbull, but as I write this, that event has been Cancelled thanks to the ash out of Iceland.
• Michael Tarver is just watching the show
• Carlito is a good talent, he just needs a push he would be good in the IC Title hunt on Smackdown.
• Todd & Matt Striker get on.
• They don't talk about Carlito becoming US Champion on his first night much.
• I think Michael Tarver must be on some sort of drugs, he's too hyper or is it just Coca Cola.
• Nice take down of Tarver by Justin.
• It only takes 3 Seconds in the WWE. Yeah and sometimes that's all they get but Superstars is one thing better for the mid-carders
• I haven't watched Superstars in a bit and no I don't want to ask a Diva.
• Oh My God, please shut up, King.
• Christian is still being shat on, he might have been in two matches this week but none of those on Raw.
• Woah! It's Chavo, I really can't remember this last time I saw Chavo on TV.
• Michael Cole doesn't listen to Jerry Lawler. Well I won't with this mundane level of commentary.
• In some ways, Superstars is good because it doesn't include a promo segment meaning you can just get 3 good matches in a 40 minute timeslot, with all recaps and the like, thats around 10 minutes per-match, please tell me how that isn't good.
• Watching this you would never know that Chavo is a multi-time Tag Team and Cruiserweight Champion, and a ECW Champion.
• I could fall asleep listening to this commentary and not in the good way.
• "That missle dropkick worked" What great insight there Jerry.
• Nice, "Eddie" Chant but Chavo seems to never be allowed to actually do the Three Amigos.
• Woah Gory Bomb!chavo is that Chavos Finisher, I really can't remember the last time he did that.
• Not bad Match at 6 Minutes long, Cole & King did nothing for me, I could just stop this right now as it's a Raw Main Event
• oh my days is that a NXT Recap, I swear this is different I remember once they had a Smackdown Recound once, two years ago?
• The Recap was actually quite good, nice editing, but they cut out most of the crowd reaction
• Please god give me strength, a Raw Rebound and Extreme Rules Promotion.
• (8) It's a New day (8)
• Here comes "The Fortunate Son" The Million Dollar Champion Ted DiBiase and recap of Ted getting retubution on Christian 10 Days ago
• Oh the WWE Universe doesn't know what they aren't talking about, Ted eh?
• Dodge car in the UK, what?
• Ted bought a Porsurce when he was 18. I mean what a twat, right?
• And here comes the sterotypical poor guy MVP making a non-PG reference to Ted's rear-end.
• Now I want to go to Univeristy, so can everyone please stop talking about Ted's trust fund.
• Well to be honest, I'm pretty sure that MVP and Ted make about the same amount of money in the WWE.
• So Jerry, you gonna make a Police Scanner joke.
• OMG, Cole just made a human reproduction comment.
• Jerry Lawler kinda has a point, but you can't really say anything King, because the King failed to become the Mayor.
• "Anyone that says money can't buy happiness doesn't know where to shop" Like.
• Oh yeah, if you forgot the Draft is coming up soon.
• Wait when MVP was heel he signed "the biggest contract in sports entertainment history" on Smackdown and he was the one bragging about how much money he had. I prefered MVP as heel.
• And Ted hits Dream Street and that's that for Montel.

And now to the Friday Night's delight or is it Raw Disabled Younger Brother, Smackdown:

• I love Drew McIntyre's entrance and that camera angle out to he crowd with him slowly walking to the ring was great
• Come on everybody, Drew just wants to be friends, he knows that no likes him, oh but he doesn't them either, because he's a Scot & The O2 Arena is in England. It's worse William Regal being in Scotland, the Scots hate the English more than Vice Versa.
• R-Truth needs to shut his mouth, I've become sick of it "And That's the Truth"
• Matt Striker & Josh Matthews play golf on Wednesdays
• Dolph Ziggler needs a push, he's a fantastic Psycho
• Did I know that the WWE Universe are Perverts & Jerry Lawler the token Perv
• Layla is Matt Striker's English Muffin
• Striker has a Master Degree
• Layla is Leso for Vickie Guerrero
• Michelle McCool is the new William Regal
• Forgot we had the token Divas/Womens UK Championship Match on Raw
• Layla doesnt know where the Exit is.
• Beth & Mickie have common enemies so that makes them best friends, well done there Todd
• I Still Can't get over how good it makes me feel when CM Punk's Music Hits
• Sign of the Night: "SES Chill out and have a Beer"
• The Miz still had his Blue Peter Badge on, thats breaking Kayfabe, Blue Peter was on Tuesday
• I know that they held Miz back in London to do Promotion on Tuesday but they kinda just randomly put him out there to go on Commentary
• Miz messed up Mysterio's entrance. like.
• I like how NXT Rookie Darren Young is on Smackdown, continuing the Angle
• Nice Work, I like Tyson Kidd & Rey Rey Working Together
• Miz was the heartattack that put HBK in the hospital and Taker pulled the plug, love it
• Miz was entertaning on Commentary but was bit distracting
• Haha, the UK gave Miz the key to the City with the Blue Peter Badge
• Miz needs to Defend his US Title soon i think a guess host needs to inforce the 30 Day Rule, last time was Elimination Chamber
• That 6-Man Tag Would have had more impact if Miz wasn't on commentary
• Miz has felt DH SMith in the ring, Ewwwwwwwww
• I'm starting to like the Baby Bull more, I liked Tyson Kidd before but as I said I gunning for him to gain some points in the chrasima collumn
• Nice 619 round the post
• "The Alley Chicago" T-Shirt Serena had on I thought was quite good
• OMG its the Dudebusters (OMG they are actually going wit that as an official name) and here comes JTG
• There's a little gangster street in workings there from Matt Striker, forgot he was from NYC, you know along with another 10 Million People
• Another "Who Are Ya" Chant to the Dudebusters haha, these two have as much personality as Michael Traver
• OMG JTG let his hair down and looks like Sissy that probably why Shad attacked him, Matt do you want to explain more about ganster hairstyles and infighting
• Josh Matthews is back and speechless alongside Edge.
• Jack, One, Two. Ohhhhh Yeah!
• Here We go with the Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship, here is your Champion Jack "Gummpy Boots" Swagger
• Matt Striker should have quoted Jericho's twitter during his entrance, "Roses are Red, Voilets are Blue, and I am the best in the world at what I do"
• Jack "This is Mine" Swagger has Class because he was college educated
• My Days Jack Swagger has massive limbs and you know what they say about long limbs... yeah, nothing, you're tall
• Todd Just said John Morrisons name, reminding me that he injuried-ish depends on who you believe
• Stupid Crowd calling for the Spear, he's on the Second Rope Numb-Nuts
• OMG the distance is there could we see a Spear, please Matt I know they want you to dumb down, but please shut your mouth when you say stuff like that
• The Okalhoman with the Okalhoman Roll, Well Done
• No Matt, Y2J isn't a Mentalist thats a TV Show
• Jack Steals the win, he would be very good for a Ultimate Oppotunist Gimmick
• The Education with give you the WHC, young people
• That Gutwrench on Edge might have been for Randy Orton, I still think their storyline isnt really there
• haha on the Replay when Jack won, Matt Striker jumped out of his chair and pumped that fist
• Chris Jericho could have just ended Edge's Career, I hate blatant over statements like that.

And that's a Wrap!

Major WWE Rumor: Batista to reform Mean Street Posse

So this is a joke of course, but have you seen his backstage attire (see picture below). Now compare this with the picture below it of Pete Gas, Joey Abs and Rodney. Now I am not saying that a return of the Posse would necessarily be a bad thing but why does Batista as a heel have to have such bad dress sense. Heel Batista from Evolution use to wear suits and that was good so let see a return to that. As O'Dea will tell you I have been watching wrestling a lot longer than he has and I remember what the Mean Street Posse use to be like an in all honesty it would fit Batista's heel character to have some bumbling idiots trying to help and failing costing him more matches. So if WWE ever run this storyline you heard it here first.

2009 Dirty Awards: Brand of the Year

Nominations and Winner:
Raw
Smackdown (Winner)
ECW
The Best brand of the year award goes to Smackdown because it doesn’t have to deal with plugging guest host or poor viewing times in the UK. RAW obviously has to plug things for the guest host and sometimes that works other times it fail miserably and the wrestling is forgotten. This is why Smackdown is the brand of the year.

3 Amazing signs held by fans

Here are three amazing signs I saw whilst watching WWE, not sure if it will be a new feature to the Blog but anyway. Click on the image to enlarge. From Bragging Rights during the Fatal 4 way for the World Heavyweight title. 'Roidista'

From Smackdown when T.Lo and Y2J were in the Ring 'Fozzy played my Jr Prom' and 'Jericho fears Bob Baker'

Wrestling Quote #32: You Were Always Flat on Your Back

This quote is from tonight's WWE SmackDown. Matt Striker doesn't always like John Morrison, and had this to say about his apparent arrogance and showboating in the ring:
Matt Striker:
"I was never one in my ring time to be pompous or arrogant or waste time, no wasted movement"
Todd Grishams:
"You were always flat on your back"

"Matt Hardy was looking fatter than William Regal this week"

This week's Smackdown was fantastic and unlike Raw, lived up to the expectation and benchmark set from SummerSlam. This edition was what I wanted from a piece of WWE programing, it was fun, athletic, emotional, great storylines and looked fresh from ever angle, and was edited for no apparent reason.

To start off the night we had "The Only Straight-Edge World Heavyweight Champion in History", CM Punk, who has cemented his place as one of the top heels in wrestling today, everything about him has become distasteful and I love it. The fact that he illustrates himself as the good guy, for telling truth, that frankly the audience can't handle, means that his character is labeled, as Chris Jericho would say, a parasite. I really enjoyed Jeff & Punk's back and forth during their promo, most of all CM Punk saying "I Hate these people booing at me", just adding more fuel to the fire. At least we didn't get the MVP "Oh Please SHUT UP!", think of something original Montel (or WWE Creative), that is the weakest and most lazy (creative!) response ever, I'm not watch this at stupid hour on a Tuesday morning, so you can say that to one of the best wrestlers and best speaker of his generation, Y2J. Anyway I got sidetracked at fucking Porter.

Next up was a strangely short opening bout (for Smackdown), with John Morrison & Matt Hardy (returned from the bad boy position) to face the up and coming, and growing to my good side rapidly, The Hart Dynasty. Before, I say anything, Matt Hardy was looking fatter than William Regal this week and his movement around the ring confirmed that. The Hart Dynasty and John Morrison are just fantastic! Most of all Tyson Kidd. Some people were a bit turned by the news that The Hart Dynasty were moving up to Smackdown from ECW after being together for only couple of weeks and to a show (sorry, company) with no real tag team, as it was thought at the time, but they have really shown how good they are, sightly being carried by Kidd, which is good cause I love him in the ring. This was more a Monday Night Raw match, but still was decent.

Enjoying these Melina-Maria skits, is WWE really illustrating Dolph as a nice guy behind the scenes or is because they're not sure about turning Maria heel.

Next up was Drew MacIntyre kicking R-Truth's Head off, keep an eye on him and also he's a fellow Scot, so some home field advantage. 'Nough said!

Melina-Layla & McCool, whatever.

Rey Mysteriod was is action versus Kane and got the crap beaten out of him at the end by Kane & Dolph (he is so good!), and I think that this was because they knew about Rey's violation at the TV tapings or before Tuesday, like the way they use to crap on Kendrick because he kept on smoking pot and paying the fines and so WWE had no reason to push him when they could squash him into a pancake. Rey, what where you doing, you're one of the biggest stars in the biggest wrestling company in the world, adored by millions of children around the world and you seem to be able to take time off on tap, and didn't you remember you have two children and another one coming, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Also, when Khali came out I thought "Oh, fucking hell" but after staying with it because I have to watch this shit, I enjoyed the Kendo Stick segment then Dolph Zig-Zagging his way to a title match next week and not at WWE Breaking Point.

Shad Gaspard should never be let loose as a singles wrestler or was it just cause they were angry? But the tag match in the end was good, but just like with the ECW Championship match, why would Americans pay $40 just to see the match the next week for free. Well Done Cryme Tyme, why are the make shift team of team of MVP & Mark "bright primary colour" Henry getting a title match?

The Main Event was absolutely fantastic, at times left me speechless, like when Punk superplex'd Jeff from the top of the cage, that was nearly on parallel with the superplex onto the ladder on Sunday. This was to good for my words, you just needed to see it and everyone now knows that Jeff went out on two of some of the best matches of his life that helped Punk massively. Jeff's end speech was short which didn't matter as the crowd were into it their self. I saw a leaked video from a fan in the arena and Jeff took ages going around giving everyone high-fives who he could reach and also going into the crowd, which on the final product was heavily edited (you can see as he changes his clothing around very quickly for no apparent reason). The cheap shot by Punk to end the show wasn't written in good taste, you don't need that, yeah it might create heat but WWE give anyone going away no dignity at all, i.e. when Victoria "retired" she got squashed (as babyface) by Michelle McCool, and then had a emotional good bye that was never showed on TV, another example was when Vickie Guerrero quit as Raw GM, and she got verbally "shat" on by Edge, and this wasn't received very well in the locker room, considering everything she has done and has gone through with/for WWE (i.e. death of her husband Eddie and one of her best friends Chris Benoit).

All in all, I'm impressed, WHY CAN'T RAW BE LIKE THIS!!!

As the title of the article suggests I am find WWE's programing a bit repetitive. The reunion of DX the third although funny and the future promises to be funny I can't help but feel that it is a case of been there done that. On top of that if this senario is anything like what WWE did with the Miz and Morrison, DX will probably beat Legacy as the dinosaurs beat the young guns. The main event picture is no better with Randy Orton taking on John Cena again. It feels stale. Also if we look at Cena's recent sparing partner The Miz he has been reduce to being banned from 'SummerFest' sorry 'SummerSlam' by some no name wally of a guest host. On top of that He took on the returning Eugene to get his title back. Mark Henry is now face, but not the sort of face that could be the new number one contender, just a joke in primary colour, why not put Eugene with Hornswoggle the perfect combo. Also two of the biggest heels in the company, one literally one not so. The Big Show and Y2J have been bundled together as tag champions at a time when Smackdown needs Jericho as CM Punk is the only top end heel. Also Big Show looks awful in primary colours and should only wear black because that suits his character. However it is not all bad, William Regal is now the ECW number 1 contender. Also the young guns of Swagger, Kofi, MVP, Shelton, Morrison, Ryder, Ziggler, Evan Bourne and Chris Masters are being given some time to shine. Mickie James is the new Divas Champion which is thoroughly deserved as she is one of the best divas in the company. So there is some light at the end of the tunnel. So at the momment I've got just one word for WWE, Repetative.
