If they reinstate their service, everything will be operational again, but until then, I need to use a different poll service. As of right now, I have two ways you can choose from to vote. I'll factor both in with the results somehow. You can either click the "vote now" link which will take you to another site with a poll on it or you can vote on the little gray poll embedded in this post.

Chris Jericho was suspended and almost arrested for kicking ("desecrating") the Brazilian flag at a live event. He was forced to publicly apologize as well. Ridiculous.
Jericho finally explained the ItBegins2012 promo's purpose of the little girl, saying that there wasn't one and we were all looking into it too much. Ridiculous as well. That's just a cover up answer to admit that you didn't have a plan and gave up.
Ric Flair has heat on him for partying too much. He's also in the forefront of the lawsuit that TNA is putting out there for WWE, saying that they received insider information on contracts (such as the rumored Alex Shelley and Matt Morgan coming to WWE and leaving TNA possibilities). Stay tuned for this one, it could get very interesting.
Lilian Garcia and Justin Roberts supposedly had a big argument during Over the Limit over her screwing up so much. Both of them have since denied that that's true. You can never trust either side 100% when it comes to these things. Dirt sheets aren't always reliable and at the same time, people lie all the time on Twitter to cover their asses.
Seems like WWE has another list ranking superstars that has irked some people. This time, it's about WCW stars. Regal and others have expressed some disinterest or disgust at their ranking on said list.
Lots of talk that the 3 hour Raw concept will be a failure and not stick. Well that's optimistic, isn't it? Yeesh.

WWE No Way Out 2012 Predictions of Results, PPV Spoilers

2012-05-20T23:00:00.000-04:00

WWE No Way Out 2012 PPV - this time, it's not with the Elimination Chamber, but they're doing a bunch of "no escape" clause type matches. Expect to see a cage match, a strap match, probably handcuffs, a lumberjack match (or lumberjill) and so forth that they'll most likely replace next year with a different event. Here are my predictions for the pay-per-view. No Way Out 2012 results/review will be posted eventually.

Steel Cage Match: Big Show vs. John Cena
Naturally, after the events of Over the Limit, this was a no-brainer. Hopefully, they can give it a stipulation that works well and these two can use that to their advantage, as I don't want to see just a normal one-on-one match between them.

PREDICTION: John Cena wins because he lost at the last pay-per-view.

World Heavyweight Championship: Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio
Nobody will remember or care, basically. This is filler. They obviously didn't trust Del Rio and Sheamus to handle the program entirely on their own for multiple pay-per-views, which is why they threw Orton and Jericho in there. I originally thought this would be the only match between the two, with Sheamus facing Orton at Money in the Bank, but now that Orton's been suspended, my guess is these two will have another rematch at Money in the Bank. Sheamus won't be dropping the title to Alberto Del Rio, though. I'm still expecting someone to cash in at that pay-per-view after winning their respective briefcase - and I'm still expecting that person to potentially be Wade Barrett.

PREDICTION: Sheamus retains.

PREDICTED MATCHES

Kane should be involved in the Punk vs Bryan match, Christian should defend his title against Cody Rhodes, Miz would have had a match with Orton if he wasn't suspended so now they need to fill that gap somewhere. That means we'll probably have another Brodus Clay match and another Ryback match. We're missing something else though, so either the tag titles or the US title will be defended. Oh, and the divas will have some match that involves Layla but nobody will care about that.

Mark Henry has undergone surgery and has said that if he doesn't come back 100%, he might be retiring. I sincerely hope that he fully recovers and can stay on the roster for a while longer, as I've always been a fan of him and I think he's doing the best work he's ever done in this past year or so.
Raw is going to be 3 hours starting July 23rd. This is either going to be AWFUL or AWESOME. Rumors say it might be a pre-show, and if that's the case, I hope they use that to do all their stupid recap bullshit so I can fast forward the entire thing and never have to watch it on the 2 true hours of the show.
WWE is interested in Ric Flair's daughter, meanwhile TNA has signed Brooke Hogan? What's going on?
Dusty Rhodes is the new GM of NXT and it seems like they're definitely going to include more FCW people right off the bat. Maybe there's a reason to watch NXT now?
Konnan says that Sin Cara and/or his posse pulled a gun out on Alberto Del Rio in the past. I'd put this in the speculation pile as well, folks, as this is just a story Konnan is telling. If it did happen, I wonder how they're able to work together in the same company when that happens. If it didn't, then Konnan's talking out of his ass for attention, and that's a shame. Either way, interesting.

WWE Over the Limit 2012 Results & Review Coverage Live

2012-05-15T00:48:00.000-04:00

Watch WWE Over the Limit 2012 ppv live online coverage of results and review here. John Cena versus John Laurinaitis. CM Punk versus Daniel Bryan. Sheamus versus Alberto Del Rio versus Randy Orton versus Chris Jericho. Layla versus Beth Phoenix. Kofi Kingston and R-Truth versus Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger. Pre-Show match with Zack Ryder versus Kane. You can check out my predictions here.

Starting off tonight is, naturally, the pre-show.

Pre-Show: Zack Ryder vs. Kane
More competitive match than I expected it to be, but sadly, Ryder was fed to Kane anyway. Hopefully this is the end of the feud between these two and Ryder can move on as well as Kane to bigger and better things.

WINNER: Kane via pinfall.
Still liking the preshow concept.

Jack Swagger on the pre-show is awesome, stating a bunch of total nonsense. Hopefully with the main event tonight, John Cena's wife doesn't cost him the match (I know that's awful but I had to).

The pay-per-view started with the battle royal already starting. The winner will face Santino or Cody for their title respectively.

#1 Contendership Battle Royal
I see McGillicutty, Reks, Kidd, Hawkins, Young, O'Neil, McIntyre, Riley, Slater, Khali, the Usos, Ezekiel, Christian, Regal, and I'm not sure who else. Otunga, JTG, and Miz are in this as well as Jinder. Tatsu is out and looks possibly injured. One of the Usos is out as well as JTG and McGillicutty if I'm correct. McIntyre gets eliminated by Reks and Hawkins, who both get eliminated by Khali. Khali eliminates Jinder Mahal as well.Khali gets dumped out by Young, Titus, and Miz. Others get eliminated and we're down to Darren Young, Alex Riley, Miz, Tyson Kidd, David Otunga, and Christian. Riley eliminates Darren Young. Miz eliminates Riley. Kidd is eliminated by Otunga. Now there's Christian, Otunga, and the Miz left. Christian eliminates Otunga. Christian then eliminates Miz.

WINNER: Christian via...you know how.
Interesting way to start off the pay-per-view.

Commercial for People Power.

Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & R-Truth (c) vs. Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler
Even match, hoping that we have new tag team champions myself. Vickie gets a little distraction out there, helping Swagger get the upper hand on R-Truth. Ziggler's got the show off stuff going on, Swagger's got his ridiculous hair cut. Ziggler escapes an SOS but Kofi hits a splash from the top rope instead.Kofi hits the Trouble in Paradise.

WINNERS: Kofi Kingston and R-Truth via pinfall.
Not bad, not great.

Backstage, Hawkins and Reks are talking to Eve. They're supposed to confiscate signs in the audience that are anti-Laurinaitis.

Divas Championship: Layla (c) vs. Beth Phoenix
Beth looks like she's lost some weight or something (looks good). Layla naturally looks good as well, doesn't seem like she's got any leg problems or anything.Layla does some kind of move where she bounces off the ropes while Beth just watches her. That was awkward. Crowd is kind of dead for this, especially seeing as how Beth has Layla locked in a single leg Boston Crab and isn't doing much else. It's quite slow. Beth picks Layla up in a military press but Layla reverses into a DDT. Layla reverses the Glam Slam into a roll-up, but Beth reverses that as well, even though it's a two-count. Layla hits her neckbreaker and wins.

WINNER: Layla via pinfall.
Bland and uninteresting. Shame. This could have been decent.

Backstage, Orton is interviewed by Striker about how he thinks he's going to win, blah blah blah. Jericho comes out to boast, Orton says if he gets in his way he'll be the best in the world at getting RKO'ed.

World Heavyweight Championship [Fatal 4-Way]: Sheamus (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Chris Jericho
Sheamus gets the least active reaction and even looks pissed off when he holds his belt up. Sign of a title change, perhaps? You know how these matches go, double-teams and someone sitting outside the ring for a while and so forth. Most of this match seems to be the three men other than Sheamus. Naturally, as I type that, Sheamus gets back into the ring. Orton gets ready to hit the RKO on Sheamus, but Del Rio locks in the armbreaker on Orton. Jericho breaks it up. Del Rio gets his legs up when Jericho tries the Lionsault.Now we're in finisher mode with everyone reversing and escaping and such.Orton hits the DDT off the ropes on both Del Rio and Ricardo at the same time. Jericho hits a Codebreaker on Orton but Orton rolls out of the ring. Del Rio goes for the armbreaker on Jericho. Jericho reverses into the Walls of Jericho.Sheamus misses a Brogue Kick and Jericho hits a Codebreaker on him. Two-count. Jericho gets the Walls of Jericho on Sheamus as well. Orton hits an RKO on Jericho but Del Rio breaks it up. Now it's crazy, everyone is in the ring being thrown around and such. Sheamus hits the White Noise on Jericho and retains.

WINNER: Sheamus via pinfall.
Good match. The best part was the ending. It took a little long to get started really, and that was a little frustrating, but overall it was good.

Backstage, Cody Rhodes is talking to Eve. He asks how Laurinaitis is doing. Eve says he's brave and an inspiration. Cody says Christian can legitimize the US title just like Cody did to the IC title. He says he'd have embarrassed Christian if he chose him. Christian comes up and says he's changed his mind and he's facing Cody instead.

The Miz comes out to talk to the crowd. Miz says Brodus Clay is what's wrong with WWE. Ugh, it seems like Miz is going to dance. I hate dance segments, especially on a pay-per-view. Miz dances like a douchebag and is interrupted by Brodus Clay's theme.

The Miz vs. Brodus Clay
Clay dominates, of course. Miz mostly gets some reversal kicks and such. Clay hits the Sheeplex from the top rope on Miz and finishes it with his splash.

WINNER: Brodus Clay via pinfall.
Clay's entertaining but Miz deserves more than this, etc.

Reks and Hawkins are taking signs now. They take one off Sign Guy as well.

Intercontinental Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Christian
So does Cody get disqualified or does Christian win? Cody's looking good, but Christian's putting up a fight as well. This could be a feud that lasts quite a while and does good for Cody. Nice steps/Beautiful Disaster kick. Nice moonsault as well. Christian hits the Killswitch and wins the title.

WINNER (and new IC champion): Christian via pinfall.
Good enough that I want to see this feud continue.

Backstage, Punk is interviewed by Mathews. AJ comes over and wishes Punk good luck.

WWE Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Daniel Bryan
Sign Guy has a sign that says "I made AJ say yes, yes, yes". 10 points to you, sir. Bryan's looking weird in this match....like he's just watching Punk. Punk switches the surfboard up and just kicks Bryan instead, ouch. Lots of reversals. This isn't really heating up the way I thought it was going to. It's disappointing so far. Bryan starts what looks like a surfboard of his own but he starts pulling Punk's mouth back instead. Now we're on the surfboard. Bryan then pulls Punk's head backward, then even more and locks his neck under his arm like a headlock. Ow, fuck. Two-count for Punk using a Perfect Plex. Daniel Bryan hits a headbutt from the top rope. Bryan's sticking to the yes-kicks. Punk puts Bryan in a Figure Four. Series of rollup two-counts and such ends with a solid kick to the head from Bryan, getting another 2. Bryan gets crotched on the ropes and hit with a springboard clothesline. Bryan reverses a GTS attempt into a two-count pin. Punk reverses a potential Yes Lock attempt into a catapult, but Bryan catches himself. Punk follows it up with a kick to the head and Bryan gets out of the pin by getting his foot on the ropes. Punk hits the elbow drop but holds his ribs afterward instead of going for a pin. Too long of a wait, another two-count. "Randy Savage" chant going on now. Bryan reverses the bulldog into the Yes Lock. Punk rolls over and pins Bryan just as he starts tapping out.

WINNER: CM Punk via pinfall.
Not as good as I was hoping, but decent.

Backstage, Otunga and Eve are talking to each other. Teddy Long is smiling and standing like an idiot. They say he's mistaken if he thinks he'd get his job back. He says instead, he would go for the two of those being in charge, or terminated.

Hunico is coming out, bike and all.

Camacho vs. Ryback
Ryback wins, right? Dominating, of course. Even Hunico kicking him in the back while the ref isn't looking did nothing. Here comes the finisher.

WINNER: Ryback via pinfall.
Squash.

Post-match, Ryback just kicks the bike.

John Cena vs. John Laurinaitis
Laurinaitis comes out wearing a track suit, kind of. Cena laughs. Ace starts the match off by trying to run out of the ringside area. Cena lifts up Johnny's shirt and gives him some slaps. Cena spins Laurinaitis around instead of giving him the Attitude Adjustment. He then brings the ring bell out to ring it right near his head. Cena puts a headset on Laurinaitis and himself and starts doing impressions. Laurinaitis says "five time" when he does his Booker impression. Cena gets a mic and says he's going to put Johnny in the STF, reminding him if he taps out, he's fired, but he'll let go if he can last ten seconds. Johnny lasts the ten seconds. He does it again and lasts another ten seconds. Cena dumps a bottle of water on Laurinaitis. Two bottles. Three bottles (though the third one was poured in his pants instead). Out comes the fire extinguisher. Cena dumps a trash can onto Laurinaitis (complete with popcorn and such). Ace goes to leave and Cena grabs him, but Laurinaitis hurts Cena's arm and is now in control. He pushes Cena into the steps and starts hitting him with a chair. Cena gets back in charge. Laurinaitis retorts with a low blow, then leaves the area while Cena stands in the ring. Big Show comes out with Laurinaitis, dragging him by the ear and throwing him back into the ringside area. He throws him back into the ring. How long before Big Show punches Cena? There you go, Show throws Laurinaitis to Cena, but punches Cena in the face when he picks him up for the AA. Laurinaitis pins Cena and wins.

WINNER: John Laurinaitis via pinfall.
Funny. Even funnier was the reaction the one guy in the front row has to this heel turn.

HIGH SPOTS

1. Battle royal with the IC title situation; interesting

2. WHC match

3. WWE title match

LOW BLOWS

1. Divas title match

2. Miz having nothing much to do but job to Brodus

3. Predictable outcome to the main event

CRITIQUE RATING SCALE: 2-COUNT NEAR-FALL (Meh)

Reasoning: Some interesting things, but overall it could have been much better.

CM Punk was talking about being for gay marriage and it resulted in him telling someone who disagreed with him to kill himself. He then told another person to drink bleach. Punk then went into PC mode and apologized for how he handled himself. I agree with Punk's point of view on gay marriage and I think people need to stop complaining about every little thing a celebrity says - but with that being said, he shouldn't have handled it that way, so I understand the apology as well.
Goldust has been released from WWE supposedly after the Darren Young/Titus O'Neil power bomb finisher botch on Yoshi Tatsu. Sounds like a bullshit excuse to me, but he probably did other things that put him on the edge and this was the final straw.
John Cena is filing for divorce from his wife Liz, his high school sweetheart. She's hired the same attorney that Linda Hogan used to get all the money she had from their settlement, but apparently Liz signed an extensive prenup that entitles John to take back anything he gave her even if it was a gift. Messy situation. It's a shame that they couldn't work things out.
FCW and NXT will be taping from Full Sail University from now on. This seems like a big step up for FCW and a big step down for NXT. I wouldn't be surprised if NXT basically became even more of a transitioning field for FCW stars than it is now.

WWE OVER THE LIMIT 2012 SPOILERS / PREDICTIONS OF RESULTS COVERAGE

TNA Sacrifice 2012 Results & Review PPV Coverage Live

2012-05-09T22:59:00.000-04:00

TNA's Sacrifice 2012 PPV - here is your spot for live results coverage and a review to go along with it. Who is going to win? TNA Champion Bobby Roode versus Rob Van Dam. Kurt Angle versus AJ Styles. Samoa Joe and Magnus versus Daniels and Kazarian. Jeff Hardy versus Mr. Anderson. Austin Aries versus Bully Ray. Gail Kim versus Brooke Tessmacher.

PREDICTIONS: I'm expecting Bobby Roode to retain the title as well as Gail Kim. Samoa Joe and Magnus makes sense to keep it, but who knows, so I wouldn't be surprised if Kazarian and Daniels won the titles. Hardy should beat Anderson, Aries should beat Bully Ray, and I have a feeling Kurt Angle will beat AJ Styles.

Check out my show "Smack Talk" on YouTube!

Should I point out that the logo is basically the Batman symbol and Sting's been going around ripping off the Joker from The Dark Knight for all that time? Nope, I should look past it? Ok then. The pay-per-view is about to start.

Earl Hebner tells Bobby Roode that Hogan wants the championship to hang from the ladder. Roode gets pissed and says he'll get it back. Why is this promo about presidential quotes?

Tag Team Championship: Samoa Joe & Magnus (c) vs. Kazarian & Daniels
I'm surprised Magnus never went to WWE. He has a look that I'm sure they'd be interested in. Joe and Magnus are more over with the crowd that I was expecting - that's a good thing. Some good tag team wrestling with Kazarian and Daniels, using lots of double team moves and such. They show that Joseph Parks is in the crowd. Joe starts taking it to both Kazarian and Daniels after Magnus went through lots of punishment. Joe and Magnus hit their finishing move but Kazarian pulls Magnus off Daniels. This leads to a double team with Kazarian and Daniels double-teaming Magnus to win.

WINNERS (and new tag team champions): Kazarian and Christopher Daniels via pinfall.
Not a bad start to the pay-per-view. It's helped by the title switch.

Knockouts Championship: Gail Kim (c) vs. Brooke Tessmacher
I don't care if Brooke wants people to think of her as more than just a model - that's her strong suit. She should definitely be hard to beat at the tournament. Gail jumps right after Brooke to start the match. Twice early on, Brooke goes for Gail Kim's finisher unsuccessfully. Gail gets back in charge, dictating the match. Brooke's improved quite a bit from what she came from, I'm surprised, and enjoying it. She hits an elbow drop from the ropes and gets a two-count. Gail goes for her finisher but Brooke reverses into that herself, sending Gail out of the ring, preventing her from being able to get a three-count. Gail quickly pins Brooke with her feet on the ropes and the ref doesn't notice.

WINNER: Gail Kim via pinfall.
Not a bad match either. I hope they keep this up.

Backstage, Borash talks to Daniels and Kazarian. Kazarian says AJ became the face of the company by "whistling Dixie" while they prove themselves by beating people up. AJ's nightmare is just beginning and everyone has their permission to worship them.

TV Championship: Devon (c) vs. Robbie E vs. Robbie T
Devon takes it to both of them despite how it's essentially a handicapped match. Eventually, that proves too much for him and the Robbies team up. There's a really bad spot where Devon's looking at Robbie E on the outside but right next to Robbie T getting up and about to attack him. Poorly done. Robbie E stops the attempt that Robbie T had at getting the pin, saying he's the one who should get the pin. Devon capitalizes and rolls up Robbie T to win.

WINNER: Devon via pinfall.
Meh, I'm not a huge fan of Devon holding this title, nor this match really.

Robbie E goes to hug Robbie T to prevent him from hurting him. T gives in.

Jeff Hardy vs. Mr. Anderson
Anderson gets on the mic to introduce himself, still getting pops. Hardy comes out kind of limping it seems, slapping hands. Seems like people are a little more pro-Hardy than Anderson. Plus, if one of them is going to turn heel, I'd agree with the majority thinking that it would be Anderson. That makes more sense than Hardy turning heel. Hardy eventually hits the Mic Check on Anderson. I guess that's the theme of the night, hitting someone else's finisher on them. Hardy misses the Whisper in the Wind. Anderson hits a Twist of Fate on Hardy. I guess that answers my question. Anderson misses a Swanton but Hardy hits one afterward, getting a two-count. Anderson is able to get a crafty pin on Hardy to win.

WINNER: Mr. Anderson via pinfall.
Not bad, not great.

Anderson goes to shake Hardy's hand after the match. Hardy reciprocates. They hug.

Time for the Twitter questions. Christy Hemme asks Austin Aries if he's intimidated by Bully Ray. Aries says no, it's not in his DNA to be intimidated.

Borash talks to Joseph Park. He says he's made a bunch of new friends in the crowd. He wouldn't be surprised if Abyss appeared tonight.

Out comes Crimson to gloat about how all he does is win. He's doing an open challenge. There's a "we want Steiner" chant going on if I can hear that correctly. Crimson gets a ref to count to ten and award him another victory. When he gets to 8, Eric Young and ODB come out. ODB is about to challenge him, but Young wants to instead.

Crimson vs. Eric Young
Young goes after the ref rather than Crimson. Young gets Crimson out of the ring and chases the ref. When Crimson gets a hold of him, he throws him over the ropes. ODB gets in the ring and Crimson pushes her down. Young gets pissed, pulls his shorts off, and attacks Crimson. Young checks on ODB and Crimson uses that to slam Young and win.

WINNER: Crimson via pinfall.
Not a big fan.

Backstage, Borash asks Bully Ray how he can compete with Aries who is younger and faster. Ray says he doesn't use Twitter. Blah blah, he's seen fear in Austin's eyes earlier.

Austin Aries vs. Bully Ray
These are two of my favorites in TNA right now. Hopefully, that translates to a good match. Ray tries talking trash to Aries who responds with some trash talking of his own. Ray continues to go to the ropes when Aries lunges for him. Aries finally hits the second rope to send it right up into Ray's crotch. Ray spits in Austin's face, Austin slaps him in return. Ray kicks Aries off the top ropes, sending him to the outside guard rail. As Ray chops/slaps Austin's chest, he keeps getting up. Ray eventually tosses Aries up and hits the 3D, but Aries kicks out. Bully Ray gets his chain and Joseph Park comes over to the ringside area. Ray gets ready to hit him with a chair but Aries goes after Ray instead. Aries hits a missile dropkick and leads up to the brainbuster. Bully Ray kicks out at the last second. Aries locks in the Last Chancery and makes Bully Ray submit.

WINNER: Austin Aries via submission.
Match of the night.

Backstage, Styles says if he isn't 100% focused on Kurt Angle, he'll lose. He's there to wrestle Angle, not talk about the Dixie Carter pictures.

Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles
These two seem to be trying to go for the best wrestling match of the night in terms of athleticism (which isn't surprising). I'm simply not going to list things move by move. Lots of action, but it's all really standard stuff that isn't worth writing (as that's tiresome as hell for me to do). Good action, though, don't get me wrong. Angle kicks out of a Styles Clash. Later on, Styles kicks out of an Angle Slam. TNA really loves their finisher kickouts, don't they? Kurt hits the Styles Clash on AJ - one more example of people using someone's finisher on themselves. There's always a gimmick for each pay-per-view that happens in tons of matches. Sometimes, every match has blading, sometimes it's interference, etc. Today's ppv is all about using your opponent's finisher. Kazarian and Daniels attack Styles. Angle hits another Angle Slam, but AJ kicks out. Kurt puts AJ in the ankle lock once more and Styles has to tap out.

WINNER: Kurt Angle via submission.
Good match, but I preferred Aries/Ray to watch in general.

After the match, Daniels and Kazarian attack AJ but Angle fights them off.

Backstage, Roode says the deck is stacked against him but it isn't going to work.

TNA Championship [Ladder Match]: Bobby Roode (c) vs. RVD
I'm expecting this to be a typical RVD ladder match (ie he'll kick the ladder when Roode is holding it, he'll do a Rolling Thunder and miss and hit the ladder instead, at least two missing jumps from the ladder that aren't huge, etc). Well, we've got the baseball slide kick and the flip onto the outside checked off. Roode catapults RVD into the ladder above him and RVD's head sticks inside the rungs (not in like, a sick and twisted way, don't worry). Kind of a pointless spot where the ladder is set up in front of Roode and RVD does his chair/kick spot. If anything, the ladder felt the damage. There's the Rolling Thunder spot, but he lands it. RVD misses the Frog Splash and lands on the ladder instead. RVD jumps in an attempt to land on the ladder and stop Roode from climbing, but the spot is botched and he twists the ladder around accidentally. They attempt a different setup where Roode kicks RVD down and the back of his head hits the chair on the way down, allowing Roode to finish climbing and get the title.

WINNER: Bobby Roode via retrieving the title.
Wasn't really that impressed.

HIGH SPOTS
1. Aries vs Bully Ray
2. Angle vs Styles
3. Seeing Brooke

LOW BLOWS
1. Crimson vs Eric Young
2. Devon vs Robbie E vs Robbie T
3. Promos for the most part tonight

CRITIQUE RATING SCALE: 2-COUNT NEAR-FALL (Meh)

Reasoning: Outside of a few little hiccups, the pay-per-view was more entertaining than I expected.

WWE films ended up costing World Wrestling Entertainment $30 million in 2011 out of their $40 loss. Why do they keep trying?!
Edge hasn't re-signed with WWE. What does this mean for the future? I personally think it's just a smart "walk away and get them to cave in to a better deal" tactic and we'll see Edge back on WWE contract status soon enough.
Sabu was hospitalized after having a reaction to some medication he was taking and was forced out of the Extreme Reunion show. Justin Credible also was forced out, but that was not by accident, but rather because he was found in no condition to wrestle, slumped over a chair passed out. Ouch.

WWE Over the Limit 2012 Predictions of Results, PPV Spoilers

2012-04-29T23:00:00.001-04:00

WWE Over the Limit 2012 PPV - a break from the gimmick pay-per-views. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes that makes for things to be less exciting. What do we have lined up for it, though? Will Brock Lesnar face someone new like Orton? Let's go through our predictions of what we think will happen. Over the Limit 2012 results will be posted here.

WWE Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Daniel Bryan
It makes sense to ride the momentum and keep Bryan in the spotlight for now, despite how I'm not the biggest fan of him. This match will please a lot of fans while allowing that to happen as well as giving CM Punk someone that he can defeat until whatever plans they have for him to drop the title are in place. Should be a good match with them trying to steal the show.

PREDICTION: CM Punk retains.

John Cena vs. John Laurinaitis
This one I'm not so sure about making a lot of sense. I have no clue where they're going with this yet, but I hope whatever it is, it's good. It has the potential to be awful.

PREDICTION: John wins - and yes, I totally know that I'm copping out with that prediction for the moment until things get clearer.

World Heavyweight Championship [Fatal Four-Way]: Sheamus (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton
I smell something fishy here. Sheamus may be getting punished for the lack of response to his win over Daniel Bryan. This could be a sign that they think that Sheamus against Del Rio isn't big enough star power because of a lack of faith in Sheamus, so they throw Jericho and Orton in there as they have nothing else to do. I honestly would not be surprised if Sheamus dropped the title here to someone (probably Orton out of those) but I'm going to say that instead of it happening now, this will be a stall until they figure out what they want to do. Sheamus will retain, but he might not have that long title reign that was rumored to have started at WrestleMania.

PREDICTION: Sheamus retains.

Divas Championship: Layla (c) vs. Beth Phoenix
Should be quick and rather uneventful. Layla won't drop the title just yet, it's too early. This is just a standard replacement for the rematch clause factor that the Bella twins weren't able to cash in on fully as they left the company. Look for Beth to dominate and Layla to get a roll-up victory or something.

PREDICTION: Layla retains.

Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & R-Truth (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger
For the record, I don't like the tag team of Kofi and Truth NOT because they're two random people, but because they're two random people that were thrown together haphazardly and won the titles with no real build. At least Air Boom had a few matches and some "we should tag together" talk before they won it, then became a legit tag team with the name change and whatnot. Therefore, I'm hoping that Ziggler and Swagger win the titles here. They deserve it as they've been working together for a long time and they mesh really well. I don't think it will happen, but I do wish it would. My guess is Kofi and Truth retain and then they need to beat Epico and Primo for their rematch clause at the next ppv or on Raw or something, and then they possibly have a tornado tag match or something with these three teams (or more).

PREDICTION: Kofi and Truth retain.

Pre-Show: Zack Ryder vs. Kane
Well, credit to them for continuing this feud, even though it has sucked since the very beginning and did nothing to boost the Cena/Kane feud but did everything to ruin Zack Ryder's momentum and push. I seriously don't understand what the purpose was other than sabotage. Ryder was popular, so they book him to consistently lose and write him off TV...ridiculous. I expect nothing other than for them to use this as an opportunity to have Kane beat Ryder again for no reason, unfortunately.

PREDICTION: Kane wins.

PREDICTED MATCHES

I'm expecting commercials, a promo about Lesnar and HHH but not necessarily a match, and they'll probably throw another match randomly on the card since they seem to like doing that nowadays - my guess being Brodus Clay versus Miz.

WWE Extreme Rules 2012 Results & Review Coverage Live

2012-04-29T19:00:00.000-04:00

Watch Extreme Rules 2012 ppv live online coverage of results and review here. Brock Lesnar vs John Cena. CM Punk vs Chris Jericho. Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Randy Orton vs Kane. Big Show vs Cody Rhodes. You can check out my predictions here.

The pay-per-view where everything's got a stipulation - even if half of them are just generic no-disqualification matches.

It's time for the pre-show....wait, no it isn't. Is anyone else having issues with YouTube or is it just me?

United States Championship: Santino Marella (c) vs. The Miz
Miz seems to be getting cheered - this should be a fun crowd tonight. Generic kind of match, nothing really to report on. Santino gets the win with the cobra.

WINNER: Santino Marella via pinfall.
I honestly can't review much of this, as I missed the interviews and most of this match.

Ok, now we're starting!

Falls Count Anywhere: Randy Orton vs Kane
Time for a recap already. Ugh. Right off the bat, the pipe comes into play. They're fighting outside the ring area, doing the generic hand slams on barriers and such. Kind of slow and uneventful for the most part. Now they're moving backstage. Zack Ryder shows up to attack Kane in the backstage area, but isn't really doing much to hurt him. Ryder basically just sort of slinks away after this. Camera man tripped? They fight back to the ring. Orton blasts Kane a few times in the back with a chair. Orton hits his DDT on Kane, with Kane on the announce table instead of on the ropes. Orton's going for a superplex and hits it on Kane. Kane hits a random chokeslam on Orton, but he kicks out. Kane signals for a tombstone on top of a steel chair. Orton hits an RKO instead on the chair (as if that hurts anyone but Orton).

WINNER: Randy Orton via pinfall.
Meh. Not bad, not great. I won't remember it in a month of being anything but existing, but I'm not going to rip it apart either.

Backstage, Eve and Laurinaitis are standing in front of the Raw Roulette wheel. Teddy Long wheels in some champagne and has a giant name tag. Kind of ridiculous.

Brodus Clay vs. Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler's sporting a new coat."Let's go Ziggler" chant going on in the crowd. Brodus hits the headbutt in the stomach (and Ziggler sells it well, naturally). Then he follows it up with his splash for the win.

WINNER: Brodus Clay via pinfall.
Kind of a normal Raw match, overall. Nothing special.

Flashback to the pre-show, Teddy spins the wheel and the IC title match is a tables match. Cody blames Teddy.

Intercontinental Championship [Tables Match]: Big Show (c) vs. Cody Rhodes
Show back body drops Cody early on...gotta show the dominance.Show sets up a table in the corner of the turnbuckle and tosses Rhodes into it - but Cody bounces off and hits the Beautiful Disaster kick! Very nice spot. Big Show is on the apron in front of a table and Cody dropkicks him. Big Show's foot goes through the table and he looks incredibly shocked. Cody Rhodes wins the match!

WINNER (and new Intercontinental champion): Cody Rhodes via...you know, how these matches work
Funny ending of the match. We all laughed.

Post-match, Big Show goes after Cody and sets up a table. He chokeslams Cody through the table. Big Show is soaking up the boos.They then chant "one more time". Big Show then tosses Cody out of the ring into a table (ouch!).

Backstage with Matt Striker and Daniel Bryan. Bryan lists the reasons he's better than Sheamus, like his beard, he can pick up more chicks, his stomach isn't weighed down with corn beef. Bryan insults the crowd. I doubt that will work. She leaves and AJ is just watching.

There's a really sad looking guy sitting next to Booker at the commentary booth (but not on commentary). Poor guy.

World Heavyweight Championship [2 out of 3 Falls]: Sheamus (c) vs. Daniel Bryan
Everyone is chanting 'yes' anyway. Sheamus comes out wearing a shirt that says "18 seconds" on it. Sheamus puts Bryan in the Texas Cloverleaf. OUCH, he's sitting on him and wrenching it backward real tight. Bryan almost pulls off an inside cradle pin, but Sheamus kicks out. Bryan's trying to just pull Sheamus's fingers apart as a submission. Then he's got him pretzeled up in a crazy position. Much longer for the first fall than I expected. Bryan's getting so much more offense than I expected as well. Daniel Bryan doesn't heed to the 5-count of kicking Sheamus, so he's disqualified. The winner of the first fall is Sheamus. Bryan then puts on the Yes Lock. Sheamus doesn't submit, but the ref calls it and awards a fall to Bryan. A trainer comes into the ring, selling the idea that Sheamus is passed out. Bryan is just pointing in the air while everyone is chanting "yes" and "no". Sheamus gets up, ready to compete, and Bryan runs right into a half-assed Brogue Kick. Sheamus struggles to pin him and takes too long, so Bryan kicks out.Bryan keeps up the kicks. Sheamus builds up some more steam and gets back in charge. Sheamus hits another Brogue Kick.

WINNER: Sheamus via pinfall.
Not bad. Not bad at all.

Looks like we're getting a Ryback squash.

Ryback vs. Aaron Relic and some other guy (didn't catch the name)
Other Guy is talking about how 2 is greater than 1 and repeating it. Michael Cole is saying he wants them to shut up. The commentators are pro-Ryback, I find it funny. There's a Goldberg chant going on. Ryback's just destroying them, naturally. He drags the one guy over to his tag partner and gets him to tag in so he can destroy him too. Ryback hits that stunner variation that R-Truth has done in the past, then follows it up with his finisher. He stacks the one guy on the other and pins them both.

WINNER: Ryback via pinfall.
Standard Ryback squash, but fun.

Backstage, Striker is talking to Punk. He talks about how he's going to win the match in front of 20 thousand of his closest friends. Generic "I'll win" promo.

WWE Championship [Chicago Street Fight]: CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho
Punk greets his family in the crowd. Good touch having them wearing jeans. Chairs and a kendo stick are introduced. Jericho's hiding behind the ref, but using that for a cheap shot. Jericho takes off the turnbuckle pad. He takes the security barricade as well off (as much as he could on the top of it). Jericho gets a slap in the face from Punk's sister. Punk goes for the springboard and slips (but he's ok, he didn't fall and injure himself or anything). Punk gets doused by Jericho with a beer again. There's a sign in the crowd parodying the Dos Equus meme with CM Punk ice cream bars. Jericho escapes from another GTS. Jericho puts Punk in the Walls and Punk gets out of it by using a fire extinguisher. Jericho's on top of the table and Punk almost falls off the top rope again. He then hits his elbow drop and Cole almost says "on the goddamn table". Punk drags him to the ring and Jericho kicks out. Punk then puts him in the Anaconda Vice. Jericho gets out by hitting Punk with the kendo stick. Jericho hits a Codebreaker with a chair on Punk. Punk kicks out. Jericho tries to hit the GTS on Punk, but Punk gets out, launches Jericho into the turnbuckle, hits a GTS of his own, and wins the match.

WINNER: CM Punk via pinfall.
Good match. Match of the night so far.

Backstage, Beth is saying she'll hobble to the ring to the Bella twins. Eve Torres says she's not medically cleared to wrestle. Surprise opponent. Who is she losing to, Kharma? Eve? Kelly Kelly? Santina?

Divas Championship: Nikki Bella vs. Layla
Layla looks fantastic. She's rocking a leg brace, though. Not a squash match, but Layla hits her neckbreaker and wins the title eventually.

WINNER (and new divas champion): Layla via pinfall.
Glad to see Layla back. I knew something had to happen in this match.

Striker runs up to Laurinaitis backstage. By the way, bravo - WWE should do more stuff like that and make it so it looks like it's off the cuff instead of pre-planned backstage segments. Laurinaitis talks about People Power and leaves.

Extreme Rules: Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena
As expected, Lesnar's got on UFC style attire with sponsors. Cena's out in his normal green shirt, but he's also got the chain. Holy shit, less than a minute into the match and Cena's already bleeding from his head from Lesnar just acting like this is real. Goddamn, Cena's bleeding so much. They have to stop the match temporarily and the trainer comes out to check on Cena. Wow. Cena goes for an Attitude Adjustment but Lesnar escapes and hits some German suplexes on Cena instead. Charles Robinson (the ref for those that don't know him) gets caught up and they bump into him, knocking him out of the ring. Lesnar gets Cena's chain, but puts it down and puts it around Cena's feet instead of hitting him. Cena gets up and gets a clothesline. I would laugh my ass off if Cena hits the AA and wins in Super Cena mode after all this. Lesnar hangs Cena up with the chain on the turnbuckle and starts beating on him. OH MY GOD Brock Lesnar just picked Charles Robinson up by his belt and threw him into the ring...that was hilarious. My friend Vic (you can see him on the Best & Worst Awards video at youtube.com/smarkoutmoment) right now just wins for the night by saying if John Cena is Superman, then Brock Lesnar is Doomsday. Lesnar hits the F5 but Cena bumps into Robinson again, so the pinfall is messed up. New ref comes out, Cena kicks out. Lesnar takes out the ref out of anger. New ref comes out again. Brock brings the steel steps to the ring. Cena picks Lesnar up and slams him on the steps to get out of a submission hold. Cena goes for a leg drop but Lesnar moves out of the way and Cena lightly grazes the steps instead. Lesnar jumps from the steps in the ring towards Cena on the ropes, but Lesnar flips over and lands awkwardly. He's lucky he didn't get injured..ouch. Goddamn, this match is crazy. They go for a second time of doing this and this time, Cena hits Brock in the head with a chain. Cena hits the AA on the steps for Cena and gets the win.

WINNER: John Cena via pinfall.
Crazy match - match of the night - potential match of the year as far as I'm concerned. Everyone here was SO into it and that's what we should be presented with all the time. Wow.

John Cena gets on the mic afterward and says that he thinks he needs to take time off and thanks the crowd and such.

HIGH SPOTS

1. Extreme Rules match

2. WWE Championship match

3. Cody's Beautiful Disaster possibly

LOW BLOWS

1.Ryder's lackluster involvement in the Kane/Orton match

2. Kane/Orton match in general

3. Brodus Clay vs Dolph Ziggler

CRITIQUE RATING SCALE: 3-COUNT PINFALL (Good)

Reasoning: Two very solid main events, a surprise return, two new champions, funny squash match, good WHC match, an interesting ending to the IC title match. So much better than WrestleMania.

Rey Mysterio's just been suspended for the second time. He'll be gone for 60 days - and if he keeps this up, gone for good in WWE.
Tough Enough winner Andy Leavine was released from WWE. How pointless. This is yet another reason why Luke Robinson should have won.
Buff Bagwell was in a car accident after possibly having a seizure. He is recovering. Naturally, we all wish him a speedy recovery.
Derrick Bateman and Percy Watson's profiles have been removed. Promotion coming up or demotion?
Beth Phoenix is not injured - she's just damn good at selling.
Wade Barrett's "attorney" took over his Twitter account. Naturally, this has to be kayfabe, and it isn't even causing a stir, so it must not be something that they're really banking on putting a lot of attention towards - at least not yet.

Brock Lesnar is allowed sponsors on his ring attire and shirts. Hopefully, this doesn't mean WWE will view this as acceptable to throw ads in other places as well. They already have too many ads and commercials as it is - though I would rather see a Geico logo on John Cena's pants than take time away from a match and run a commercial, if given a choice.
Paul Heyman is being looked at (supposedly) for induction next year into the WWE Hall of Fame, with Joey Styles doing the induction services. This is because of the area they'll be in and more than likely because of Lesnar's involvement in the company, seeing as how Brock and Paul are close.
Could Tyler Reks be leaving WWE soon? He's "fired" from NXT along with Curt Hawkins, but several things are adding up to look like Reks might be wished well in his future endeavors quite soon for real.

The Bella Twins might be leaving WWE to pursue other interests. They're being advertised for an autograph signing as "formerly the Bella Twins" and using the names Brianna and Nicole instead of Brie and Nikki. Naturally, they say on Twitter not to believe any of this, but you know how Twitter and the concept of "rumors aren't true" end up turning out. More often than not, they end up being true.
Dolph Ziggler took a hilarious shot at The Rock when someone said they bought his action figure over Ziggler's, saying to make sure they only play with it a few times a year. Gotta love the #heel.
JTG's changed his look at the behest of WWE officials. He's now incredibly bland looking and still a jobber. How pointless.

TNA Lockdown 2012 Results & Review PPV Coverage Live

2012-04-09T17:34:00.000-04:00

TNA's Lockdown 2012 PPV - here is your spot for live results coverage and a review to go along with it. Who is going to win? TNA Champion Bobby Roode versus James Storm, Jeff Hardy vs Kurt Angle, Magnus & Samoa Joe vs The Motor City Machine Guns, Gail Kim vs Velvet Sky, Matt Morgan vs Crimson, Devon vs Robbie E, and Team Eric (Eric Bischoff, Gunner, Bully Ray, Christopher Daniels, and Kazarian) vs Team Garett (Garett Bischoff, AJ Styles, Austin Aries, Mr Anderson, and Rob Van Dam).

PREDICTIONS: I'm expecting Devon to retain the title since he just won it. If they want Crimson vs Matt Morgan to be worth anything, Morgan should win, but if they want to just build Crimson up with this, Crimson needs to win. Gail Kim will retain against Velvet Sky. I'd like to see the Motor City Machine Guns win but I'm not sure if they will just yet. Jeff Hardy needs to beat Angle. I'd like Team Eric to win, but I honestly don't know what they'll end up doing - probably that. Bobby Roode just may drop the title here.

Check out my show "Smack Talk" on YouTube!

Backstage, all of Team Garett is talking but Garett is pacing back and forth. He wants to start off. He says he knows he's a rookie that will get his ass kicked but he wants to earn their respect.

Lethal Lockdown: Team Garett Bischoff vs. Team Eric Bischoff
We're starting off with Garett and Gunner. Bully Ray is the next person out. Austin Aries comes out (with the crowd firmly behind him). Next out is Kazarian. Next up is AJ Styles who gets a good pop. Now Christopher Daniels comes out. Mr. Kennedy is next. Not a whole lot has happened in this match, as expected, since it's mostly dominated by people coming in, cleaning house, and someone else coming in. Lots of punches and whatnot. Now it's time for Eric Bischoff to come out, wearing jeans and a black t-shirt. Eric holds Garett while his team gives him some chops to the chest. RVD is the last man. RVD monkey flips Kazarian and it looks like he might have hit Garett in the face in the process by accident. Anderson does his microphone taunt, but instead of the mic falling down, the weapons do. Team Garett has the weapons in hand. AJ's wailing away with a hockey stick for instance. Aries is walking on the top rope with a trash can lid. Aries bodyslams Eric Bischoff and RVD tries to follow it up with a frog splash, but Gunner knocks him off the ropes. Kazarian and AJ are climbing the roof of the cage (inside, not outside). Kazarian gets knocked off and AJ falls down on top of him. Van Dam hits a frog splash on Kazarian after that. RVD kicks the chair in the face of Bully Ray who was looking for someone to hit. Garett goes for a pin on Daniels but Eric stops it and starts hitting Garett with a kendo stick. Garett gets up while Eric is boasting and hits Eric with a guitar, then pins him for the win.

WINNERS: Team Garett Bischoff via pinfall
Not bad. Not bad at all. This will probably be the match of the night. Some good spots in there, decent enough end to the match with Garett getting the win over Eric, etc.

Tag Team Championship: Samoa Joe & Magnus (c) vs. The Motor City Machine Guns
New theme song for the MCMG? Way too generic. Wait, nevermind, they were just late on starting the song. Screw up on the audio department's end. Crowd seems entirely dead at the start of this, for some reason. It hasn't even had a chance to be bad yet and there's no reaction from the crowd - shame. I didn't notice it until now, but it appears as though they've got the crowd in darkness with a really dark stage as well. It's making the arena look weird in a way. Joe and Magnus are the ones in charge of this match, particularly Joe.Very nice spot where Sabin spins around, kicking Magnus and then giving a DDT to Samoa Joe. While Joe and Magnus are on the top rope, Sabin gets underneath Joe and power bombs him. Magnus gets a double foot stomp from Shelley off the top rope. Joe puts Sabin in a rear naked choke and breaks up a pin attempt from Shelley on Magnus after he had hit sliced bread. Magnus and Joe hit their finisher and retain the titles.

WINNERS: Magnus and Samoa Joe via pinfall.
Not as good as a normal Motor City Machine Guns match, but that was expected what with their opponents not being X-Division specialists and them still having ring rust. The dead crowd didn't help.

Backstage, Borash talks with the Robbies. He guarantees he'll win.

Television Championship: Devon (c) vs. Robbie E
Robbie T is ejected from ringside and sent out beyond the cage. Virtually nothing of importance happens here. Devon ends up with the win after a spinebuster.

WINNER: Devon via pinfall.
Too bland and pointless for me to like. Completely filler.

After the match, Robbie T comes in and beats down Devon.

Borash asks Matt Morgan what's more important, beating the streak or the personal problems. Morgan says he wants revenge. Tonight, he's going to make Crimson his little red headed bitch.

Knockouts Championship: Gail Kim (c) vs. Velvet Sky
If you want to vote for Velvet Sky in the tournament, make sure you do so right now cause she's losing! Gail comes out with Madison Rayne. All three look very good tonight, per usual. Gail dominates Velvet. Velvet hits a sunset flip power bomb from the top rope but Gail Kim grabs the ropes to get out of the pinfall. Madison distracts Velvet. Velvet goes to roll up Gail, but Gail reverses it and retains the title.

WINNER: Gail Kim via pinfall.
Felt kind of pointless. Meh. At least they didn't get hurt in the sunset flip spot, I think.

Ric Flair comes out. He asks if the fat boy in the front row knows who he is. He says he's pissed off at Hulk Hogan. Hogan comes out and says Flair is the best wrestler of all time. He then says he should express his grievances right then in the ring. This is taking up SO much time. Flair says that he should have been in the ring instead of Bischoff. Hogan knocks Flair down in one punch. I'm surprised Flair isn't gushing blood...you know how he is.

Crimson vs. Matt Morgan
Crowd is still dead. Even match for the most part. Pretty slow. Crimson ends up winning by escaping the cage.

WINNER: Crimson via escaping the cage.
Not a fan. Too bland and uninteresting.

Jeff Hardy vs. Kurt Angle
Angle gets the upper hand with an eye gouge and beats Jeff down for quite a while. BIG nice spot where Kurt Angle hits an Angle Slam from the top rope. Hardy climbs the cage and splashes Kurt Angle, but only gets a two-count. Hardy escapes an ankle lock by reversing it and giving Angle an ankle lock of his own. Angle gets out of it and then receives a Twist of Fate by Hardy. Hardy hits two Swanton Bombs, but Kurt Angle kicks out. Hardy climbs to the complete top of the cage and hits a Swanton to win the match.

WINNER: Jeff Hardy via pinfall.
Good match with some good spots in there as well.

Knockouts Tag Team Championship: ODB & Eric Young (c) vs. Sarita & Rosita
ODB starts the match off fired up at them for the whole "temptation" thing they did with Eric Young. This whole thing is just weird. Not much goes on. ODB gets the win for them.

WINNERS: ODB and Eric Young via pinfall.
Pass.

Backstage, Bobby Roode says he always has been and always will be better than James Storm.

TNA Championship: Bobby Roode (c) vs. James Storm
They circle the cage and then start fighting each other outside of it. They continue brawling outside of the cage. Chairs are introduced, Roode takes a drink of some beer, etc. Storm's a bloody mess as they get into the ring and the match officially starts. Roode continues being in control of the match and calls him a pussy. This whole domination that they're doing is killing this match and making it too boring. They could have had a good back and forth match. Storm gets back into the swing of things and starts fighting, finally. He hits the eye of the storm, but gets a two-count. Roode hits a spinebuster for a two-count of his own. Now they're ramming each other into the cage (boo/yeah method). Storm goes to climb the cage but turns around and jumps down with a Closing Time. He gets ready for the Last Call but the ref gets in the way instead. Roode can walk out the cage door but he asks for a beer bottle instead and walks back in to hit James Storm with it, then tells the ref to get in the ring and count the pinfall. Storm kicks out. Storm hits the Last Call but falls down unable to cover him. He hits it again but it sends Bobby Roode through the cage door, meaning Roode wins the match.

WINNER: Bobby Roode via escaping the cage.
Better at the end but not as good as I was hoping it would be.

HIGH SPOTS
1. Jeff Hardy vs Kurt Angle
2. Lethal Lockdown
3. James Storm's Closing Time from the top rope

LOW BLOWS
1. Knockouts Tag Team Championship match
2. Knockouts Championship match
3. Television Championship match

CRITIQUE RATING SCALE: 2-COUNT NEAR-FALL (Meh)

Reasoning: Some stuff on it was good, some stuff wasn't, but the parts that were bad weren't God awful, they were just bland and uninteresting, so in the end it balances out to a kind of average score.

Randy Orton has been removed from WWE's third Marine movie because of his dishonorable discharge from the military. He may be replaced by Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, or JTG.
Tough Enough winner Maven was arrested for, you guessed it, drugs. WWE's offered him rehab as they normally do with their previously employed and in need of help people. Hopefully he takes it.
Trent Baretta says on Twitter "This is the time of year that you eat oysters until you realize that you don't like oysters". Everyone misconstrued this as him complaining about his spot in the company, to which he replied "WrestleMania after party has an oyster bar. Spots are earned. Grow up internet." Can't blame him...but again, I hate it when people lump wrestling fans together in a negative way, so this irked me on both ends.
Stephen A. Arceneaux III died during WrestleMania as he was watching it and decided to wrestle his 14 year old cousin, who wouldn't let go of a rear naked choke hold because Arceneaux wouldn't tap out. There's a reason they say not to try this at home.
Lord Tensai made his debut this week. Seems like instead of wrestling in Japan, he's been wrestling with a buffet. Still, some potential there.
Brock Lesnar made his return as well. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of that.
Justin Gabriel will be missing roughly 6 weeks of action as he's injured his arm in the WrestleMania tag team dark match.

WWE Extreme Rules 2012 Predictions of Results, PPV Spoilers

2012-04-03T00:56:00.000-04:00

WWE Extreme Rules 2012 PPV - the time of the year where every match has a stipulation attached to it and they tend to hash out the end of the feuds from WrestleMania. This is typically a fun pay-per-view, but a very haphazard and sometimes poorly booked one. Extreme Rules 2012 results will be posted here.

Extreme Rules: Brock Lesnar vs John Cena
By the way, I hate how they say "Extreme Rules Match" when the pay-per-view is called Extreme Rules. They really should just call it a No Disqualification match. That's what it is. And it's a shame we're getting two of these generic matches on the card instead of some differences. This match benefits from the stipulation and it's what I would have went for - I'm just criticizing the naming of it as well as how they couldn't think of anything different for the Punk vs Jericho match. to counteract it. Anyway, I didn't see this feud coming originally, but it's very interesting now that it's here. I fully expect Cena to be on the losing end as Lesnar can't come into the company and job out.

PREDICTION: Brock Lesnar wins, no doubt.

WWE Championship [Chicago Street Fight]: CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho
Couldn't have been something different, just a normal No-DQ match with a different name to it? Stupid. I expected them to think of something better - but I guess this makes sense seeing as how everything Jericho's done in WWE since his return videos started coming out has been lackluster in my opinion. They just don't seem to be putting any thought into it. The match should be decent if not good, but I'm already starting on a downer because of the generic stipulation attached.

PREDICTION: CM Punk retains.

World Heavyweight Championship [2 Out of 3 Falls Match]: Sheamus (c) vs Daniel Bryan
I'm surprised at their choice for this match, but then again, maybe they're doing it to make it seem like an official ending to the feud so they can go right into Sheamus vs Del Rio, which they clearly are more interested in. Don't be too surprised if Sheamus wins the first 2 falls and Bryan gets none. More than likely, that won't happen, as WWE rarely ever does that in a 3-falls match, but it's definitely something that could happen with this match. My guess is Sheamus wins with the Brogue Kick once and another time, he wins with the White Noise.

PREDICTION: Sheamus wins, no doubt.

Falls Count Anywhere: Randy Orton vs. Kane
Naturally they needed another match between the two. It's a shame they did the no-disqualification match between them on Smackdown because now, there's really nothing they can do that can seem interesting unless they go all out - which WWE tends not to do on the lower matches on the card. I fully expect this to be the last match these two have together. Hopefully, that's the case, as this feud has been incredibly bland.

PREDICTION: Randy Orton wins.

Intercontinental Championship [???]: Big Show (c) vs. Cody Rhodes
The stipulation hasn't been announced yet, which could be the real factor in this. My guess is they just haven't bothered to think of one yet because they're only doing this to stall. Big Show could easily drop the title, but Cody seems kind of above it at the moment, doesn't he? Maybe that's just my opinion and everyone would disagree with me, but I'd like to see Cody stick around the upper midcard with or without the title, and honestly, if they've got a plan for who can take the title off Show, I'd like that to happen instead of Cody winning it back and them not giving him focus. It all depends, and the quality of this match depends on the stipulation as well.

PREDICTION: Big Show retains.

United States Championship [Pre-Show Match]: Santino Marella (c) vs. The Miz
Remember when they used to call this the "Free for All" match? I liked that better, but I'm VERY glad that they're doing this. They should have been doing this for years. We don't need more recap before the show, just do a dark match so to speak. It could get people to buy the ppv if they see something interesting for free ahead of time. Anyway, this is a weird match, and I don't think anything particularly interesting will happen in it. My guess is Santino just wins and that's it.

PREDICTION: Santino retains.

Divas Championship: Nikki Bella (c) vs. Beth Phoenix
Something's happening here. Kharma either returns and destroys Nikki or Eve somehow works her way into the match and wins the title, starting a temporary feud with Nikki, moving on to some other people (Alicia, Kelly, etc) and then being destroyed by Kharma. I'm definitely not expecting this to be a full on match where Nikki just retains and that's it - and I'm CERTAINLY not expecting this to be a full match where Beth wins the title back.

PREDICTION: Nikki retains.

PREDICTED MATCHES

I doubt anything else will be added to the card at this point.

WWE WrestleMania 29 XXIX Predictions of Results, PPV Spoilers

2012-04-03T00:55:00.000-04:00

WrestleMania 29 / WrestleMania XXIX. Now that WrestleMania 28 is in the bag, what can we expect for next year? What do you think will happen? What matches would you like to see take place?

PREDICTED MATCHES

I think WWE would like to have Rey Mysterio against Sin Cara. Undertaker's streak is definitely something they'll add to the card, but who will he end up facing? Brock Lesnar? A newer superstar like Sheamus or Alberto Del Rio? What will The Rock do, if he's indeed going to have a part of this WrestleMania as well as he did the previous two years? What about these rumors that the WWE will be pushing the younger talent full force for this event? What about the potential of a Stone Cold vs CM Punk match?

MATCHES I'D LIKE TO SEE

I definitely want Undertaker to have another streak match and be successful in winning. Though the idea of a Mysterio vs Sin Cara match intrigues me, I don't think the outcome would be necessarily fantastic, so if we don't get it I won't be super pissed (but I'd like to see it, and it would have potential to be fun). I'd like to see a babyface Chris Jericho in the WWE title match against the Miz. Another match I'd like to see would be Triple H in some sort of power struggle for the company to make it an official transition (perhaps against Shane McMahon or Vince McMahon?)
