Well, the NFL has arrived and my goodness, it has with a BANG, but more later. Here is what I thought about Unforgiven.
Show was decent. HBK vs Y2J is my match of the year candidate. Awesome match by both men. Loved it. Best match of this year for me. Period. HBK, in particular was brilliant. Jericho was awesome also. Great job. Kudos to both. The worst match had to be, even though I am so happy for Matt Hardy getting his first major title was the ECW Scramble. Total clusterfudge. The Diva match was ok. Hope McCool is ok. Smackdown Scramble match was cool. Hunter retained. Yay. Priceless won and debuted a new member of an apparant stable they are forming with Randy Orton. I am glad that apparantly Orton is possibly gonna return , at least to be a mouthpiece till he can actually wrestle. Interesting to see that they got the belt off of CM Punk without him being in the match. Glad Jericho won (FINALLY he has the belt), but I still think it was a cheap way to get the belt off of Punk, and I don't really like Punk all too well. I was pulling for Batista to win. :( I see that they turned Big Show. I do ,now looking back that they were setting that up. Well, I guess I could put up with a heel show until the REAL TOP HEEL, EDGE returns, which I am hearing is SOON. :) Can't wait.
Anyway, that was my opinion of the PPV.
Now to the NFL: Mixed bag of a day for me Sunday. My Giants kicked off the season with a win as I have mentioned. HOWEVER, on Sunday, both my Steelers and Patriots won, but man, Tom Brady , IMO, the best QB in the league and the best QB in modern times went down with a knee injury (believed to be a torn ACL and MCL) and is on IR and is out for the season. I know the haters who are jealous, and are pissed about the Pats "running up the score" (if they had a team like the Pats, they would do it too. Whatever) and Spygate (I bet Senator Sphincter is jumping up and down. Hey Specter, your Iggles are still not winning the Super Bowl with McOverrated at QB), are happy about this news. They have been wanting this to happen. Hope they are happy. They better wish nothing happens to their QB, especially Steeler fans who have been leading the charge as it almost happened to Ben.....got a hyperextended knee when hit by Amobe Okoye yesterday against the Texans which the Steelers ROUTED.
Anyway, Tom: GET WELL SOON! I am confident the Pats will rally and as Edge's tattoo on his arm says: the Pats will "rise above."
In Week One: How about them Chargers? This is supposed to be the "best team in the League?" How did they get surprised by the Panthers? What about the supposed "elite" QB Carson Palmer of the Bengals? Hmmm? And they call BEN OVERRATED? Whatever? Palmer got schooled by a rookie QB in Joe Flacco of the Ravens yesterday. What happened to that high powered offense of the Bengals? Sure McOverrated and the Iggles crushed the Rams. They are the Rams. Duh. How about them Clowns, er Browns, the wiseguy pick to do well in the playoffs? Got whooped by the Cowboys. Wait till Big Ben and the Steelers come to town to lay the smackdown on the Browns' candy **** next Friday night. What about Kitna and his Lions. Another ex Bengal who got whooped by a rookie, Matt Ryan and the Falcons. Farve and his Jets beat Miami. How about Vince Young's partial hissy fit and then getting booed? What's that all about? He is hurt too and out for 2-4 weeks.
Tonight is a double header. Vikings vs the Packers. Let's see if the Packers in their infinite wisdom did the right thing. Rodgers has to start some time. I think though, that Adrian Peterson and the gang will win this. Raiders and the Broncos.....I could care less about this matchup. Hate the Raiders with all my being. Does the Immaculate Reception or the Tuck Rule Game ring a bell? LOL
Enjoy Raw tonight.
