Happy 2009 everyone! I think this is my first blog of 2009. First off I want to say thanks to all the awesome people I have met on here! (Dean, Legion 2.0, Rob, Steve Barnes, Jonny Danger and MANY MORE!!!) It’s great to have so many cool people to talk to about wrestling!

Well, it’s been a big week in the WWE. Stephanie McMahon firing Chris Jericho. Not all that important to me because I am sure he’ll be back soon. He’s too good and popular to really be fired.

CM Punk got another chance at the Intercontinental Championship this week but was disqualified after he accidently hit Regal with a low blow. This was kinda dumb and boring, in my opinion. But we hear later that next week, Punk and Regal will have another match and this time it’ll be No Disqualification. Hope that is a good one.

I was getting excited because it looked like the WWE was giving the Divas more time on camera and bigger storylines. Well, this was up until this week’s RAW when it was SUPPOSED to be Beth Phoenix and Jillian vs Kelly and Melina. The match never started because Melina was attacked, AGAIN by Rosa Mendes. After Mendes was taken away by security, Beth and Jillian came out and attacked Melina and Kelly from behind paying special attention to Melina. They didn’t even get to have a match!!!! Grrrrr.....I mean, this is getting ridiculous!!!!

I didn’t really care all that much for the match between Kane and Randy Orton but what was exciting was when Sim Snuka and Manu came out afterwards to tell Cody and Orton that they have brought someone with them. Turns out to be Ted DiBiase. It was a great twist to have DiBiase turn on Manu and Snuka and joining Orton and Rhodes. I didn’t see that coming and it was the first time I was interested to see all of them. :) What would make all of this more interesting would be for Manu and Snuka to bring in another 2nd Generation superstar to add to their little “group”. Interesting?

On to ECW...I missed most of ECW because I was a little busy. I missed the whole first match with DJ Gabriel and Alicia Fox vs Katie Lea and Paul Burchill. Can anyone tell me if this was a good match?  

Tommy Dreamer comes out in a suit and tie and tells us that if he doesn’t win the ECW title by June 6th, he is going to retire! I think this brought a little more attention to Dreamer. I’m not sure if he will win the title again but I’d really like to see Tommy Dreamer as the ECW Champion one more time, even if it isn’t a long title run.

We see Boogeyman fighting another jobber. Boring! I don’t like Boogeyman one bit! They keep Boogeyman but released Kevin Thorn? I’m all confused! Aren’t they looking for talent? Oh well. What’s done is done, I guess. I really hate seeing Boogeyman putting worms in his mouth and chewing them up! I mean, isn’t that some sort of animal cruelty? I’m just saying!

Last match of the night is ECW Champion vs the undefeated Jack Swagger. I really didn’t think that Matt was going to lose this match! Unfortunately, I was wrong! :( Jack Swagger as the new ECW Champion? Even though I like Matt like a million times more...I think Swagger is fit to be ECW Champion. Hopefully this won’t be Hardy’s last time as Champion!
                                        
Now on to Smackdown....where do I even start? There are three main things I want to talk about from last night’s Smackdown. First thing is about the first match of the night. New ECW Champion Jack Swagger and Mark Henry vs Matt Hardy and Finlay. Not much I want to say about the match...just that I don’t understand with a perfectly good full roster of Smackdown Superstars, there is a match consisting of all ECW wrestlers!? I still don’t understand it? Oh well.

Next thing I want to talk about was Jeff Hardy! So, this storyline is getting almost ridiculous, huh? I’m still not sure whether ir not I think it is a good idea. I think they may be taking it a little too far but WWE is used to taking things to the limit. I guess it is pretty entertaining but I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

The last and most important thing I want to talk about it Victoria. So, one of the last real female wrestlers is now gone from the WWE! It was completely unexpected and I have to say that I am completely bummed out! Usually if someone were to ask me who my favorite Diva is, I’d probably say Melina but after looking back at Victoria’s awesome career, I’d have to say Victoria was my favorite! She was in some of the best Diva Hardcore matches with Trish Stratus, she was in a pretty great cage match with Lita and she was even in that Hair vs Hair match with Molly Holly! Not to mention, she was also a 2 time WWE Women’s Champion! She has been through some great matches and great feuds and I just can’t believe that she is no longer with the WWE. Also, she lost her last match to Michelle McCool. Yeah, it helped further the storyline of a heel McCool but this was Victoria’s last match for crying out loud!!! Last night’s match showed the Victoria that I will always miss and love! The no-nonsense, brutal, athletic, “She ain’t the lady to mess with” Victoria. I was really bummed that we didn’t get to see The Widow’s Peak one last time. :( Well, all I can say is I really hope this isn’t the end for Victoria. She has so much talent! A lot more than most of the other Divas.

Anyway, that’s my take on this week in the WWE. What did you think?
