Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to my weekly Main Event and SmackDown recap list. I always appreciate my loyal readers, but for those of you who are new, each week I recap SmackDown with a long list. The entries are in the style of a live blog and made up of equal parts observations, humor, recap, play-by-play, revelations, speculations, questions, answers and anything else I notice during the show. I sometimes comment on commercials, too, just because I get bored during them. I try to interject some fun into these lists, so I hope you have fun reading this week's list of the ...

Four hundred and thirty-four days as WWE champion has to take its toll on a body, even if the outcomes of your matches are pre-determined. You have to go out there every night and sell yourself as the character that you are. If you are a face, you have to really get the crowd behind you. If you are a heel, you have to really generate as much heat from the crowd as you can. During his recent history-making run with the WWE Championship, CM Punk essentially burned the candle at both ends. He started the run as a face, ...

Remember way back when the WWE Divas actually had their own website?Unfortunately, it doesn't exist any longer. The site had photos of the Divas, Daily Divas and Babes of the Year. It was a pretty good site and was up and running back when Lita and Trish Stratus were still wrestling.Now, with the news that the TNA Knockouts have launched their very own website, WWE has a new reality television series in the works. The show will feature the WWE Divas in their daily life as professional wrestlers. Amusingly enough, it's not going to be all Divas, ...

For the hundreds of thousands who have tired of John Cena's PG shtick, it's CM Punk that makes WWE television watchable, but he's hurt, tired, frustrated and out of action.The Second City Saint will be out anywhere from one to three months, or maybe even longer, and the WWE are in need of a new top heel. Injury and absence in the world of wrestling is bittersweet; it's a tremendous loss, but with that loss there is opportunity for someone new to make an impact.Many huge stars got golden opportunities due to another person's absence—Christian for instance got a solid main event program ...

Since its inception in 2002, WWE's incarnation of the "Big Gold Belt" has, alongside the WWE Title, been considered one of the company's two world championships.There have been times in the comparatively short history of WWE's World Heavyweight Championship where it seemed to be the most contested and important title in the business. WrestleManias 20, 21 and 24 saw the World Heavyweight Championship match close the show, highlighting the importance the title was once deemed to have.Over the past few years however, the World Heavyweight Championship has paled and faded from true significance, with no doubt that it is indeed ...

The fifth annual WWE Extreme Rules is scheduled to hit the Scottrade Center in St. Louis on May 19, which means that we are just a little more than four weeks away from the event.Since 2009, Extreme Rules has not failed to impress WWE fans like other failed pay-per-view concepts have, featuring classic matches such as Jeff Hardy vs. Edge and Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena while providing memorable moments the likes of CM Punk capturing his second World Heavyweight Championship from Jeff Hardy and John Cena duct-taping Batista down for a 10-count.So far ...

John Cena will be defending the WWE Championship at the upcoming Extreme Rules pay-per-view on May 19.  The match is occurring as a result of a Ryback heel turn the night after WrestleMania, and John Cena will be facing his first real test in his latest WWE Title run.  But does anyone really care?It’s an all too typical route these days, to beat up on Ryback.  Let’s face it, the guy has had his fair share of critics, and their criticisms of his character, his apparent deficiencies in the ring and overall presentation have not been very kind.And as far ...

Fortunately, we live in a world where we can get answers straight from the source. Sometimes those answers are heartwarming, while other times they are heartbreaking. Either way, many celebrities and public figures have decided to use social media as a way to connect with their fans.On Friday, former WWE champion The Rock did just that when he took to Twitter for a round-robin Q&A with fans dubbed "Rock Talk."During that time, he pulled back the curtain to reveal the original plans regarding his return and departure from the WWE and also shed some light on his current status.As speculated, ...

Tyson Kidd: Arguably the best, purest wrestler on the WWE roster today (albeit on the shelf with an injury at the moment) and a former WWE Tag Team Champion.Justin Gabriel: Arguably the most entertaining high-flyer on the WWE roster today and a three-time WWE Tag Team Champion.Collectively, they are unofficially known as International Airstrike (or Airstrike for short); these two are fan favorites for several reasons. JG and TK generally wrestle circles around most of their opposition, and their styles of wrestling mesh extremely well together. Kidd and Gabriel have both honed their skills throughout the world, from the U.K. ...
