Raw and Smackdown were taped in Los Angeles on Sunday, and both shows included several celebrities.
Celebrities are a part of WWE's history, but this time it was just horrible. On Raw tonight, Kevin Federline (Britney Spear's husband) appeared as a guest of Melina+Nitro... then got attacked by Cena. Steve-O and Chris Pointius from Jackass got attacked by Umaga.
WWE really wants media coverage for this garbage?

haha K-fed getting the F-U ... apart from Jeff Hardy retaining the title, was the highlight of my night. I cant stand Mr. Britney Spears. I do agree though it seemed a little desperate on wwe's part. All in all I would say that raw tonight was a total bore.

I thought it was a waste of time too. If they actually had some real celebrities, it would have been a little more interesting. I was a little entertained though seeing Federline get FU-d.
| Quote: | I'm a fan of Ken Kennedy and Chris Benoit, but I certainly don't think Benoit should've won the title so soon. I guess WWE wants Kennedy to job to Undertaker at Survivor Series, and since Undertaker doesn't wrestle regularly... he won't be given the U.S title. That's the only possible reason I can think of. Kennedy isn't hurt and has had no backstage problems, so those aren't issues here.
They should've thrown Benoit into the main event mix, instead of just giving him the U.S title right away. I'm getting sick of the same old main eventers: Batista, Booker, Lashley+Finlay. I certainly hope Rey doesn't go back to main event, once the Rey/Chavo feud is done. Next week: Rey vs Chavo in an "I Quit" match, with the loser leaving Smackdown. I somehow think it will be Chavo losing, since Rey won't fit in on Raw. This looks like the end of the feud, and I certainly hope it is. |
I do agree that they should put Chris Benoit back in the main event mix for the World Title. The way I see it, giving him the US strap immediately is probably a good way to help him get back there. I'm guessing if he challenges for the World title sometime in the near future and becomes a #1 contender, he may still be wearing the US strap, just like in the past with JBL and John Cena.
As far as the Mysterio-Chavo feud, I don't think the loser will necesarily go to Raw. I'm thinking they'll probably just take a few months off. And since Rey has a nagging injury, and probably needs some time off, he may lose this match.
| Quote: | | Eric Young vs Larry Zbyszko in a "loser gets fired match" has been added to Bound for Glory. Eric was already fired, after he lost a loser gets fired match to Shark Boy on the October 5th Impact. I guess TNA doesn't think people remember that. Pretty stupid to have an already "fired" wrestler in yet another match. |
I'm pretty sure they explained the logic behind this match one time. Since Zybysko was responsible for the run-in, causing Eric young to get fired unfairly, this match was made.
As far as the rest of the BFG PPV, it should be pretty good. Personally, I think Sting may win the belt. I think the only way Sting loses is if Kurt Angle will turn when the PPV is said and done, and I don't think he will be.

Cyber Sunday's voting choices for the special referee in the DX vs Orton+Edge match are pretty poor. It's between Eric Bischoff, Vince McMahon and Jonathan Coachman. I somehow think Bischoff will win it.
As for the main event of Cyber Sunday: John Cena vs King Booker vs Big Show, I don't like it much. One title being on the line doesn't change my thoughts much on the matter. This match is basically an attempt to get better buyrates for a lesser PPV, and to build up for the rumored 3-team match involving stars from each brand.
Also for Cyber Sunday, the finals of the Women's title tournament: winner of Mickie James/Melina vs winner of Lita/Maria. I think it will probably be Melina vs Lita. Plus Jeff Hardy should be defending his title at the PPV. From what I've heard, it will be against whoever gets the most votes out of: Shelton Benjamin, Super Crazy and Chris Masters.
Other possible matches for the PPV include Spirit Squad vs Highlanders and/or Cryme Tyme and some thrown together matches at the last minute. There isn't many other major feuds going on, so the undercard could be pretty bad.

In another Cyber Sunday note (From LAW):
| Quote: | | --If you vote for Cyber Sunday, after voting a message comes up and reads "Thank you for your vote. Remember, you can vote for each match as many times as you want." Basically they are asking people to spam votes so they can quote some figure like umpteen million votes were cast. |
That's pretty pathetic. So, when the final numbers are announced, remember: it's vote totals, not number of people voting.
In Survivor Series news, it looks like the main event will be Raw vs Smackdown vs ECW. Degeneration X+John Cena vs King Booker, Batista+Rey Mysterio vs Big Show, Sabu+Rob Van Dam. Eh.. not completely bad, but could be better. I would prefer teams of 4 or 5 in an elimination match, with the winning team getting a title shot or control of the show. I don't think that those teams are set in stone, so I'm hoping it's changed at least somehwat before SS happens.
In TNA news, Monty Brown looks like he might be done with them. He was promised a better push and possibly a World title reign... and didn't get it. Bobby Rude announcing his manager is part of the pre-show for Bound For Glory now. I guess TNA thinks it's not a big deal, since people figure it's probably Traci Brooks (or possibly Christy Hemme).

I am not being a muppet here, I am just curios to ask why you lot like Wrestling ? I used to enjoy it when i was 14, I have since grown out of it. Everytime i happen to watch it, I laugh.
It's so fake it's unbelievable. Each to the own though, I am sure you would laugh at things i like.

WWE may be STAGED. But it is not entirely fake, there are a lot of things done in the ring that would be impossible to fake in front of a live crowd.
With that being said.. WWE is more "real" than most of the hit shows everyone loves. Hate to break it to ya but the cast of lost isnt REALLY stuck on that island...and our new found heroes cant REALLY jump off buildings and walk through fire. Its all entertainment...but WWE is always the one that gets the cries that its fake..um duh! So is star wars

Yea but, WWE and Lost are completly different. WWE is a sport, Isn't it ? Wrestling is a competitive sport, where Lost is a mere TV programme. I just don't see the point in watching 'sport' when it's easy to guess the outcome of fights. I suppose everybody is different, and you would proberly laugh at things i like.

WWE is not a sport and does not claim to be a sport. What WWE is, and the title they claim is Sports Entertainment. Wrestling you see in high school and college and in the olypics is a sport. But the "professional" wrestling such as WWE is all entertainment and storyline..just like any other television program. I like to think of it as a male soap opera. A lot of people get all into general hospital and one life to live and all my children. Its the same thing..just a different targeted audience

Former WWF wrestler, Cpl. Kirschner passed away recently. He had a brief WWF stint in 1986, and feuded with Nikolai Volkoff. He was known as Leatherface (a gimmick similar to a villain in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies) in Japan.
In Cyber Sunday news, Umaga has issued an open challenge to any ECW or Smackdown star to fight him at the event. I'm hoping fans can decide on a decent opponent for him. If the voting choices are predictable (like past years), it will be very uneven voting. I'm thinking Kane and Undertaker could be possible choices. As for an ECW star, I guess Sabu or Rob Van Dam could work.
TNA's Bound for Glory is this Sunday, and it looks pretty good. Full preview and my thoughts will be up by tomorrow probably.

I honestly think this could be an okay match, but it most likely won't be. I have a feeling the Big Show is gonna win this match. I'm guessing this match will end either in a DQ, so no championship will be lost, or the title that wins the fan voting, the title-holder will probably win the match. And as far as the match being a build up for the rumored SS 3-team matchup, that is exactly what it is.
As far as the rest of Cyber Sunday goes, for the women's title, I'm seeing a Mickie vs Lita matchup, since there is already somewhat a bit of a buildup with that matchup since Lita won the belt from Mickie. But, if Melina wins, I see Maria facing her in the finals, believe it or not. I'm thinking a special stipulation may be added to this finals match that the fans can vote on.
I also do see both the IC titles and the World tag titles being defended against fan chosen opponents, and the Spirit Squad losing their belts finally. Since Kenny (who is probably the most talented one in the group) looks like to be breaking off, I see the Spirit Squad losing.
But forget WWE for the weekend, because TNA is where it's gonna be at when it comes to sports entertainment for this weekend. Bound for Glory actually looks really good.
TNA Impact tonight did have a few important developments. Jeff Jarrett got his belt back. Kurt Angle made his first appearance in the Impact Zone (with new entrance music and all), attacking Samoa Joe so Jarrett can get his belt back. And Jake "the Snake" Roberts made an appearance announcing he'll be the referee during the Monster's Ball matchup. Plus, I'd like to say that bump that Gail Kim took from Hernandez of the LAX was pretty vicious. One more thing, Chris Jericho was sort of there too. His new "Fozzy" music video closed the show.
And yes, wrestling is fake, what else is new? That's the reason why it's entertaining. But, it's real in a sense, not because it's a serious sense of competition, but because you can really get hurt, and that you have to be a damn good athlete to partake in professional wrestling. I'm sure this "why do you like wrestling... it's fake" argument has been brought up plenty of times in this thread, and I'm kind of tired of repeating myself.

In WWE news, Cpl. Kirschner isn't dead as reported before. It was proven to be a hoax.
Bound For Glory is tonight, here is the preview and my thoughts. Winners are in bold, as usual.
Pre-show match: Bobby Rude vs Lance Hoyt
-It's pretty obvious Traci will be his manager, and TNA has been hyping this a while...so Bobby has to win.
Loser gets fired match: Larry Zbyszko vs Eric Young
-Eric will win, Larry will be off TNA for a bit, and return I bet.
4-team match: Team 3-D vs James Gang vs America's Most Wanted vs The Naturals
-A hard one to pick, but I'm guessing either AMW or Naturals.
X division invitational battle royal: This will be about 15 guys from what I've heard. Alex Shelley and a "former partner" of Kevin Nash are the only two known people in it. Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Shark Boy and many of the other X division wrestlers will probably be in it. I think Shelley or Nash's partner will win it.
Street Fight: Christian Cage vs Rhino
-Cage must win, Rhino needs to do the job here.
Monster's Ball match: Abyss vs Raven vs Brother Runt vs Samoa Joe
-Joe should win this, possibly with help from Jake Roberts.
X dvision title match: Senshi (champ) vs Chris Sabin
-I don't see any reason to have the belt off Senshi yet. This should be one of the better matches of the night.
6 sides of steel: Latin American Exchange (champs) vs Styles+Daniels
-Should be good.
Title vs Career: Jeff Jarrett (World champ) vs Sting
-Sting wins, with help from Angle... thus setting up an Angle/Jarrett feud. I doubt Sting will "retire" as he is a big draw for TNA at this moment.
Overall the PPV looks great with the exception of the 4-team match, and Young/Zbyszko.

Last night on Raw, more Cyber Sunday matches were made:
-I.C champ Jeff Hardy vs fan's choice: Johnny Nitro, Shelton Benjamin or Carlito
-Tag champs Spirit Squad vs Ric Flair and fan's choice: Rowdy Piper, Dusty Rhodes or Sgt. Slaughter
-Umaga vs fan's choice: Chris Benoit, Kane or Sandman.
What's the point of Cryme Tyme beating SS in two non-title matches, when Flair and a partner gets the title shot? Typical bad WWE booking. They should've done Kenny vs Flair in a match, and SS vs Cryme Tyme in a match. Or at least a 3-way match involving SS, Cryme Tyme and Flair's team. There is still time, I'm hoping it does get changed.
Also for Cyber Sunday: Mickie James will face the winner of Lita/Maria. I'm counting on Lita to win, then win the title at Cyber Sunday.
Overall, Cyber Sunday looks a little above average. Nothing too special, nothing too bad.
In WWE/TNA related news, Monty Brown is apparantly done with TNA and was seen backstage last night on Raw. He is negotiatiing with WWE for a contract. In my opinion, it's a safe bet that he will sign with WWE.

What happened to the wrestling fans?
Raw is tonight, the only announced match as of now is Lita vs Maria in a Women's title tournament match. Lita will probably win it.
In some ECW news, house shows will be ending pretty soon due to poor sales. That's no big surprise. After the ECW brand shows end, they will just be stuck on Raw and Smackdown shows. I would think Smackdown more, since ECW is taped on the same day/place as Smackdown each week.
In other ECW news... SPOILERS for the December PPV
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The original main event of Big Show vs Rob Van Dam has now been changed. At the ECW taping last night, it was announced it will be an elimination chamber match. The other 4 people in it, need to qualify to be in the match. I guess WWE is that desperate, that they need to throw in an elimination chamber on the first major ECW brand (since it officially became the 3rd brand of WWE). I can somehow bet it will be Sabu, Sandman and 2 others in the match. In my opinion, it probably will be the worst EC ever. If the PPV does poorly, Vince McMahon needs to wake up and just call it quits with the ECW brand.

Cyber Sunday is tonight. I'm a little bit indifferent about the pay-per-view. There are a few matches that have a potential to be okay, but overall, with the exception of the Champions vs Champions match, there ain't really other matches on the card to be excited about. I'll try to make a few picks for this PPV. Match winners in bold and voted winners in italics.
Flair and Piper vs Spirit Squad
I don't think this match should've been made, because I don't think it's right that a bunch of old geezers should win a major title. It looks as though Spirit Squad will break up soon. I think Piper would be voted in, because he is probably the most popular WWE legend out of the 3 available. Hopefully, they'll insert the winner of the 4-team tag match to this match, therefore it will make more sense.
Cryme Tyme in a Texas Tornado Match
Personally, I believe the Texas Tornado match would be the most entertaining to watch, since everyone is in the ring at one time. Since Cryme Tyme seems to be getting an early push, I see them winning this match.
Umaga vs Chris Benoit
As much as I hate Umaga and love Chris Benoit, he will probably have to job to Umaga, perhaps with a Chavo run-in during the match. I'm thinking Benoit will be voted in, because he really is a great wrestler. I don't think Kane will be voted in, even though that probably would make some sense.
Mickie James vs Lita in a Diva Lumberjack match
I think Mickie will win, since Lita is rumored to be leaving the WWE reasonably soon. And, the Diva Lumberjack match will probably get the nod, since it has more potential for T&A.
(more picks in the next post)...
