Hey guys, i thought i would post a blog concerning Friday Night Smackdown, i wrote a blog 2 months ago claiming Smackdown the NO1 Broadcast in the WWE and 2 months on it still is without question ( if real wrestling fans don't agree i would like to know why?)
After watching last Friday's broadcast i thought the show was great from start to finish, some great wrestling, great storylines developing and certainly a better view than the one we watch every Monday evening.
John Morrison v Jeff Hardy was immense, quality fast paced wrestling that had you on the edge of your seat and to top it off after the match CM Punk then truly inforces his heel turn with a great beatdown on The World Champion, and then he announced he will take on Jeff Hardy next week in a re-match for the World Title, and that is something i am extremely looking foward too, And what does Raw have to offer tonight Triple H V Legacy 2-1(blah blah blah) complete waste of time and i have no interest in that match unless Shawn Michaels returns to save Triple H as thats the only thing that could save this contest.
Chris Jericho and Big Show also looked the part on Smackdown, they and Cryme Tyme delivered a great promo hyping up their match at Summerslam, Cryme Tyme are so over with the audience and it is now time for them to take that next step and claim the tag titles at Summerslam- this feud is very interesting and once again it is on the blue brand and not the supposed NO1 brand in the WWE Monday Night Raw.
Rey Mysterio/Finlay took on Dolph Ziggler and Mike Knox, again another good solid wrestling bout with 4 great atheletes, we see these sort of matches on Smackdown and on Raw we are having to sit through Hornswoggle v Chavo Guerrero and Brian Kendrick squashes (He is released now but they should have moved Kednrick to ECW and not Raw)
Raw for me needs to pick up it's game we need to see longer wrestling matches and less commercials if this show is going to improve, Randy Orton v John Cena at Summerslam is a repeat of Summerslam 2 years ago, again i have no interest in the WWE Title with these guys continuisly feuding.
And just to think The Undertaker has still to come back to Smackdown his re-apperance is going to make that show even stronger, but if WWE wants to build Raw up again i would suggest they switch Undertaker to the Raw brand on his return.
The celebrity host thing on Raw for me has run it's course, i want to see a wrestling legend or an ex wrestler be Raw GM, these actors and sports stars are so cheesy when they are cutting promos and it make me cringe sometimes watching them.
So to conclude, keep up the good work Friday Night Smackdown, as it is the only interesting brand in the whole of World Wrestling Entertainment.
As always i would like your thought's on this blog so drop me a message on WWE Universe or send me an email to kierandaly1967@hotmail.com
Hey guys after watching last nights WWE PPV i have to say i was left with a sour sour taste in my mouth.
For me this event was just like an ordinary episode of Raw and Smackdown.
To begin with CM Punk losing his championship only a mere month and half after winning it, tells me once again that WWE dropped the ball with Punk as their champion, if they wanted to build this guy up to be a true main player then a longer title run had to have happened, but unfortunately for Punk it was another meaningless title reign.
Jeff Hardy who does deserve to be champion though will no doubt only hold this title for a short period of time and then i do believe he will leave the company on hiatus, so for me all you Jeff Hardy fans are in for another short title reign, which also make us aware that WWE Creative treat this belt terribly by switching it every 2 months or so.
Big Show turning out as Chris Jericho's partner was another major let down, why can't WWE shock us, why not let Christian turn or do something with Dibiase or Rhodes joining Jericho, creative lack imagination and it is getting far too predictable in the WWE nowadays, why cant creative CREATE entertainment the fans want to see.
Randy Orton retaining with the help of Legacy is what we have all been seeing constantly in the last 6 months or so, we see this every week on Raw, why do we need to see it at a PPV when the fans pay good money, why not let Orton beat Cena and Triple H cleanely and let him move on to fresher things and let Triple H and Cena feud for a while, i am happy that Orton retained, however the way it was done was just the usual nonsense.
Rey defeating Ziggler, both the womans matches were so obvious regarding their outcomes, once again no shock value.
I even thought last night we may have seen a Shawn Michaels tease return or even an Undertaker gong to get things going for the fans but again NOTHING, no imaginatiom in the WWE and i for one is very disappointed with the way thigns are playing out.
The PG rating doesn't help either, nothing exciting happens, nothing out the ordinary like we saw at PPV'S 3-4 years ago.
I for one hope WWE's biggest event of the summer Summerslam proves much better than the dross we got last night.
As always i would like your thought's on this blog by either contacting me on WWE Universe or send me an email to kierandaly1967@hotmail.com
Hey Guys and welcome to my Night Of Champions predictions blog.
Before i start i just wanted to say that i just finished watching The Undertaker 3 disk set DVD which was released in 2005 and it was immense, it just shows you how the PG rating that WWE provides today is nothing compared to what the WWE was like just a few short years ago, it really does sadden me with this PG rating and i just wish Vince McMahon would go back to the glory days, anyway lets get to my predictions.
The WWE Championship is on the line in a triple threat match with Randy Orton defending against Triple H and John Cena, the build up to this one has been ok nothing great but it has been watchable, now i reckon as John Cena got the pinfall on Orton last week on Raw that he will not walk out the champion, so its a 2 horse race between Triple H and Orton, now for me another HHH title run is far to early to happen so i see the Viper Orton someway sneaking out still WWE Champion, i really reckon that Triple H and Cena will come to blows in this one setting up a match between these two at Summerslam, and i reckon Orton will move on and defend his title against a returning Shawn Michaels at Summerslam.
Winner- Randy Orton
The Intercontinental Title is up for grabs at the PPV with Rey Mysterio going against a very impressive upcoming superstar in Dolph Ziggler, the match is never going to be compared with Rey v Jericho but i do think we will see a good battle between the two, far to early for Mr Mysterio to drop the gold so Rey defeats Ziggler via pinfall and the feud will continue.
Winner- Rey Mysterio
The US Title match is a 6 pack challenge, now i dont recall ever seeing this match since back in 1999 when Triple H pinned Steve Austin to capture the WWF Championship at Unforgiven 99, the match that time was very good and i expect the Raw midcarders to hopefully put on a good match, Kofi Kingston for me is a great athlete and certainly deserves more time with the title, however as we are seeing MVP and Jack Swagger feuding at the moment i see one of these men walking out with the gold and on this occasion i reckon Jack Swagger will walk out the new US Champion.
Winner- Jack Swagger
The 2 divas matches have been builded up really well, i enjoyed Mickie James on the mic on Raw last Monday and giving the Divas more mic time is a good idea, lets build them up more, lets make these titles look serious. Mickie James for me will defeat Maryse and will become the 2nd ever diva to win both the Divas and Womans titles, and on the Smackdown side of things Melina only lost the title last month at the Bash, so Michelle McCool for me will get the win and retain her title.
Winners- Mickie James (New Divas Champion) and Michelle McCool still your WWE Womans champion.
Now it's such a shame that Edge got injured as this tag title program he had going on with Jericho was gonna build up to something immense in my opinion, Edge was definetly set for a babyface turn in the near future but unfortunately that has to be put on hold until he returns, which is something i am really looking foward too, anyway Jericho is looking for a partner to face up against Legacy, their is all sorts of rumours going around that Jericho's partner will be none other than Ted Dibiase, remember last year at this event Cody Rhodes turned on his partner Hardcore Holly and went with Dibiase now this year Dibiase may do the same, the other rumour is that Christian could turn heel at this event and go along with Jericho, for me that would be awesome, Christian really needs a good push on Raw or Smackdown, but for me WWE will not shock us and i think Jericho will end up teaming with Vladimir Kozlov, i reckon one of these 3 opinions i have given will happen but i think it will be the Kozlov one but i hope not, anyway i do not see Jericho losing the title as he lost to Hardy cleanely on Smackdown this week so for me Jericho and his partner retain.
Winner- Chris Jericho and ?
Tommy Dreamer is doing a good job as ECW Champion and i am looking foward to his match against Christian, and i am looking foward to the reaction the Philly crowd give Dreamer, now what makes this interesting is that in my heart i thought Christian would win but then again if Dreamer wins, Christian could then turn heel and attack Dreamer post match, turning heel and then teaming with Jericho later on in the night, so as i want to see Christian teaming with Jericho i am going for Tommy Dreamer to retain.
Winner- Tommy Dreamer.
And finally in what i think has been a great feud and the storyline that has builded up very nicely is CM Punk defending The World title against Jeff Hardy, I am afraid all you Hardy fans are once again in for a disappointing evening as i see CM punk retaining the title, since Punk won the title he has not had a succesful title defence and they are just beginning to build his heel character up nicely so their is no way they are taking the title off Punk this early.
Winner- CM Punk
Well guys i would love your opinion on these predictions, so leave me a comment on WWE UNIVERSE or send me an email to kierandaly1967@hotmail.com and we'll have a good ol wrestling discussion.
Hey guys, just wanted to write a short blog on my thought's on the current WWE product.
I want to start with Dolph Ziggler, this guy has been so impressive as of late on Smackdown, he is playing the heel character fantastic, and i only see good things for him especially now with his upcoming program with Rey Mysterio.
By the way the Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio matches in the last few months have been outstanding it has been a pleasure to watch these two in the ring and anytime they compete it is something to look foward too.
I am also sensing that John Morrison will compete for The World Heavyweight title at Summerslam.
Kane is back and he is back with 2 huge wins, defeating Rey Mysterio and then Jeff Hardy this week, my only problem with Kane's return was the way he was brought back to feud with Khali, for me creative could have done so much more with Kane's return and made his return a shocking one by taking out a big name, i am also suspecting we may see a Kane/Undertaker feud again further down the line.
Sorry to hear about Edge's injury and hope he makes a speedy recovery and comes back to Smackdown with a bang, i really do believe we were in the process of seeing Edge possibly turn face and feud with Chris Jericho, thats a feud i am desperate to see again.
CM Punk is doing a great job with his heel transformation, i do not see Jeff Hardy taking his title at Night of Champions either, so i suspect that Jeff's character will be a good one to watch after this PPV as i see his character cracking up after he fails to win The World Title.
Looking foward to the return of The Undertaker which should be after Night Of Champions, hopefully he will be back to work a program in the run up to Summerslam.
You may have noticed i havent spoken about Raw in this column this is because Smackdown is without a doubt the NO1 brand in the WWE after the draft and may it continue.
I would like your thoughts on this blog, so feel free to send me a message or email me at kierandaly1967@hotmail.com
Hey Guys, i haven't written for a while but theirs a few things i wanna get off my chest concerning WWE's flagship broadcast Monday Night Raw.
I read on all wrestling websites before the WWE draft was made that Vince McMahon was hell bent on making Monday Night Raw his No1 show, he wanted to make Raw a must watch show every week and sadly after the draft i can guarentee you Vince is kicking himself as it has led to major disappointment.
Chris Jericho was moved over to Smackdown and wow how good has Jericho been on Friday Night's, Smackdown is without a doubt the show that gained from the draft and for me it is a must watch show ever Friday's especially if Jericho is on the broadcast, Shawn Michaels, i know he has his religious believes in all but he should have been the man who moved to Smackdown and work Tuesday night's not Chris Jericho, when Shawn Michaels returns to Raw he is just coming back into a show to feud with the same superstars he has feuded with constantly on that show for the past 7 years.
The Undertaker, the dead man stays on Smackdown for the 7th year in a Row, now if Vince wanted to make Raw his No1 Show then Undertaker should have been the man drafted to Raw, it is pretty clear that WWE'S top 2 superstars who are over with the audience are John Cena then The Undertaker, Jeff Hardy is closing in though don't get me wrong but if Undertaker was drafted we could have saw him feud with John Cena thats something we haven't see since Taker returned with his dead man persona, Vince has basically bottled it with not having these two on the same show.
If we look at Raw and we list the 5 top superstars we have John Cena, Batista, Triple H, HBK, Randy Orton, now list these superstars and put them into feuds, it is feuds we have seen time and time again on Raw, the only feud i would be interested in seeing again here out these superstars would be Triple H and Shawn Michaels, but we know for sure we aren't going to see that happen in a long time as their is UK DX invasion tour in November.
Batista for me looks slow and sluggish in the ring , if WWE wants to make Raw more interesting why not turn the Animal HEEL and bring a bit of anger and rage about his persona instead of all this huggy huggy segments he has with Ric Flair.
For me Shawn Michaels is going to return and enter a feud on Raw with someone he's probably worked a program with many times before in his 7 years stay on Raw, again i do not feel that HBK will make Raw better.
Triple H is another who will not help out the broadcast, he will go straight back into the title picture again and Raw will have his face all over it.
So to be blunt, Raw for me did not deliver in the draft and for the time being ill be watching the 'A' show in the WWE on Friday Night's, Guys like Jeff Hardy, Edge, Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, CM Punk and the upcoming star John Morrison, look at all these names folks and imagine them on Raw, dont you thing Raw would be so much better?, i certainly do!
Triple H returned on Raw, do we really need to see Triple H and Randy Orton feud again, we have saw it too many times and their is really nothing else creative can do, apart from maybe putting them in a Hell in a Cell match, last night's Raw ending was just the same as a Raw ending leading up to Wrestlemania.
