Eight Man Tag on Smackdown Was Well Worth Watching
On October - 4 - 2009
Smackdown was just a-hopping last night. There was a celebration because it was the 10th anniversary of the show.
They were tributes to the late Eddie Guerrero, old clippings from shows gone by, and a party in the back and everyone was there from RAW, ECW, and Smackdown. Even Vickie Guerrero was there, but that's another story.
The main event was an eight-man tag team match. One team was Randy Orton, Legacy, and CM Punk. The opposing team consisted of WWE Champion John Cena, DX, and The Undertaker.
From the opening bell, the match was action-packed. Body slams, punches, kicks, slaps, a near ...

Alicia Fox: WWE Diva Getting Her Time to Shine at Hell in a Cell
On October - 3 - 2009
She isn’t a second or third-generation star. Currently she is not on that level as let’s say a Trish Stratus, Lita, or Gail Kim, but she is starting to turn heads through her grit and determination to improve.
She has her first major title shot this Sunday at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. I am, of course, speaking of one of my favorite woman wrestlers currently, Alicia Fox.
Fox, born Victoria Crawford, is a Florida native. The Tampa resident is set to square off against Divas Champion Mickie James at the inaugural Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
This is major for Fox, ...
WWE SmackDown: Some Very Interesting Things People Should Know From Last Night
On October - 3 - 2009
As many of us WWE fans know, last night was the 10th year of SmackDown. The show used to be on Thursday nights, then moved to Fridays a few years back.
Many thought it was because of the competition it was facing on Thursday, however the ratings were better on Thursday than they were when they switched to Fridays. But, I digress.
Last night was really fun to watch. The Rock made a special message for all of us to watch, and mentioned he may host RAW one day. I think he will host after he wraps up his latest film project.
You ...
Ranking The Top 50 Tag Teams: The PWI Years (50-35)
On October - 3 - 2009
In 2003, Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) compiled a list of the top 100 tag teams during the "PWI Years", which originated in 1979.
For some uncanny reason, approximately 40 percent of the teams on the list competed mostly in Japan, including ten of PWI's top 20 teams.
I decided to only list the teams which wrestled in North America.
Below are the top 50 tag teams that competed in North America in the order listed by PWI.
50 - Moondogs
Though they won the WWF Tag Title in 1981, Spot and Rex quickly became a team who's role was to enhance the young tag teams (e.g. British Bulldogs, US Express, Killer Bees) that ...
Ben Roethlisberger Hopes to Tackle Viewers for the WWE, Hosting Monday Night RAW
On October - 2 - 2009
Ben Roethlisberger, the youngest Super Bowl-winning quarterback in NFL history, will be standing behind center in a much different atmosphere this coming Monday.
Sunday night, Roethlisberger will lead his Pittsburgh Steelers against the San Diego Chargers. The next night, he will be guest hosting Monday Night RAW, the flagship show for the WWE. Yes, WWE, as in wrestling, as in the company owned by the guy who created the XFL, Vince McMahon.
We've seen numerous NFL players sit at ringside at wrestling events have there have been those who have stepped in the ring. Lawrence Taylor and William "The Fridge" Perry anyone?

Faces Are Dominating the WWE? What Show Are You Watching?
On October - 2 - 2009
One thing I have been hearing lately is that the WWE is mistreating their heels.
That the heels are being put down and the faces are the only ones dominating. I think that is complete crap, and whoever thinks otherwise needs to read this.
Right now we have three heels holding titles in the WWE in Big Show and Chris Jericho with the Unified Tag Titles and CM Punk with the World Heavyweight Championship. They are all doing well, too—Show and Jericho make trips to both RAW and SmackDown a good bit.
Jericho is a floater heel, competing a good bit on both ...
Dwayne “Not The Rock” Johnson
On October - 2 - 2009
One of the advantages of living in Australia is we get Smackdown a day before the rest of the world. Our Friday is America's Thursday.
So, after not watching the weekly WWE shows for some time, I was anxious to see the 10th anniversary of Smackdown, for one single reason...the appearance of The Rock.
Lets cut straight to the chase...
Disappointed!
The Rock, for the 10th anniversary of 'his' show, could only manage a pre-recorded video speech. Which was not The Rock at all, but rather Dwayne Johnson goofing around and occasionally slipping into The Rock persona to deliver the generic Rock catchphrases.
For the ...
Superman and Spiderman On RAW, Cena Gives The Viper The STF on Cage
On October - 2 - 2009
John Cena: a name that is more than a household name. It stands for integrity, respect, hustle and loyalty.
It stands for CHAMPION.
On Monday Night Raw this week, Cena proved once again why he is the champ. It's not because of his good looks, his charming personality, or his huge muscles.
Or the way that he enters a crowded arena. It's his actions, his manner, and he keeps his promises to the WWE Universe.
John doesn't just say hes going to do something, he goes and does it. And on RAW this week, he proved why he is champion.
His rival, and his opponent ...
