Wow, what a crazy day at WWE.com! And an exciting weekend of sports overall!
First, while getting all my details squared away for our first-ever pay-per-view Live Blog in WWE Fan Nation history, I watched my hometown Pittsburgh Penguins demolish the Philadelphia Flyers 6-0 to win their series in five games, and earn a ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals -- their first in 16 years. The Pens have not lost at home in the Igloo since FEBRUARY!!!
Congrats to everyone in the Steel City! I wish I was there to party with all those fans camped out at the Mellon Arena. Then, a bunch of us in the office sweated out a Boston Celtics' Game 7 victory over Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Amazing win by the C-men!
Then finally, to cap off a great weekend, we had WWE Judgment Day live from Omaha, Neb. Special thanks to Howard Finkel and Joey Styles for taking part in WWE Fan Nation's Live Blog during the event. (read the transcript here)
But what we are all talking about after a great night of action is not the incredible wins by Jeff Hardy, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, John Cena and Mickie James amongst others.
WWE Fan Nation is outraged -- and rightly so -- by the actions of SmackDown GM Vickie Guerrero, who declared the World Heavyweight Championship vacant again after Undertaker defeated her fiancee Edge by countout.
Her logic: You can not win the title by countout or disqualification.
And unfortunately, as much as it pains me to say so, I agree with the GM's ill-timed decision.
WWE titles have a long history and tradition of not being awarded by countout or DQ, and this falls under that rule, even though Guerrero, regrettably, did not declare this before the match.
So, with Guerrero's decision, no doubt the Undertaker remains the No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title with his victory.
But what about Edge? Does he deserve another title opportunity after losing to the Undertaker for the third-straight time in as many months? And will the WWE Board of Directors step in and address any favortism by the SmackDown GM?
I'm sure we'll find out the likely fiancee-friendly answer this Friday on SmackDown.




It really pissed me off when Vickie brought her lazy butt out there and declared the title still vancant on Undertaker. It would have been better if the match was re-started and continued until there was a champion declared, but appearantly there going some where with this and hopefully, Teddy Long ends up back GM of SmackDown! because of it.
