The WHC was treated quite well when he was in the title picture.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Created in 2002, WWE's World Heavyweight Championship has had quite the decade. I initially considered the belt to be a joke, due to the way it was introduced: Eric Bischoff opened a briefcase and handed it to Triple H. It wasn't until a few years had passed that I took the championship seriously and even considered title holders to be legitimate "World champions." For a time, I truly believed the value of the WHC was on the level of the WWE Championship. I would point to Batista's first win and reign as the turning point in the upward direction. <br /><br />Let's fast forward to 2011. The World Heavyweight Championship match at Wrestlemania OPENED the show. Since then, the belt has not main evented a single pay-per-view. John Cena vs. so-and-so has headlined every show and been placed higher on the card than the WHC. Also, recent World Champions have included Christian and Mark Henry, who are still career midcarders in the eyes of many. This past summer, Smackdown stars were added to Raw in an attempt to simultaneously boost Raw's ratings and Smackdown's house show attendance. Since then, it's given WWE another opportunity to have the World Champion play second (or even third) fiddle to ongoing Raw storylines. Smackdown, the home of the WHC, as fallen even lower as far as being a serious brand within the WWE Universe. More fans have caught on that Smackdown is a generally meaningless show, usually full of filler and unimportant happenings. The current climate in WWE has lead me to believe that the WHC is not a true "World" title anymore and has become the modern day secondary championship, which the Intercontinental title used to be.<br /><br />While things are bad for the championship these days, the last few years of WWE booking have not been kind for the title either. WWE has fallen into a bad habit of having what I like to call "midcard World champions." These are guys who might hold the title for a few months or so but are not really elevated to main event status. When their reigns are over, they are right back to the midcard. The perfect example of this would be Jack Swagger. Swagger was a surprise Money in the Bank winner as his push had seemed to cool off in the months leading up to his big win. Two days later, he cashed in and became the new WHC. From there, Swagger had a forgettable title reign in which the Smackdown writers did not seem to put any serious effort into getting Swagger over as a top tier star. Fast-forward to today, since Swagger lost the title he has been lost in the midcard shuffle and the commentary team even makes jokes about most fans forgetting he ever had the WHC. That's a fantastic way to bury Swagger, Smackdown, and the WHC in one fell swoop. <br /><br />So I'm going to leave it at this: WWE has made it clear in the past year that the WWE Championship is the end all, be all in wrestling gold, and that the World Heavyweight Championship is a World title in name only. I'm half-expecting them to drop "World" from the name and just bill it as the "Heavyweight title" the same way they demoted the ECW Championship in 2007. Until WWE starts seriously investing in Smackdown again and throws them a bone by letting them headline some pay-per-views, I just can't take their championship or roster all that seriously. <br /><br />Thoughts, questions, snide comments? I welcome them all.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-7213658291098711280?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-35625884668580479552011-09-24T10:31:00.001-04:002011-10-01T08:45:17.062-04:00<table border="1"><tbody><tr><th>This Chart</th><th>Song</th><th>Artist</th><th>Last</th></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>"Calamity Song"</td><td>The Decemberists</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>"Behold the Hurricane!"</td><td>The Horrible Crowes</td><td>1</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>"We Sing in Time"</td><td>The Lonely Forest</td><td>11</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>"Blackout"</td><td>Breathe Carolina</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>"Time Spent in Los Angeles"</td><td>Dawes</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>"Savers"</td><td>Bomb the Music Industry!</td><td>12</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>"Sunset in July"</td><td>311</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>"Cough Syrup"</td><td>Young the Giant</td><td>6</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>"Rainbow Connection"</td><td>Weezer + H.

time, I mostly rambled on about the first few months of 2000, mainly my impressions of jumping back on board the WWF wagon in January. I'll pick up where I left off and see where my mind wanders off to.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H6yOCDrPJzY/TjwAKHd0OrI/AAAAAAAAAU0/mH4FQp_LNkM/s1600/2000.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H6yOCDrPJzY/TjwAKHd0OrI/AAAAAAAAAU0/mH4FQp_LNkM/s320/2000.gif" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />I mentioned that Wrestlemania 16 was something of a let-down of a Wrestlemania. It delivered a great triple ladder match by Edge and Christian, the Hardy Boys, and the Dudley Boys, but they would out-do that match at Summerslam 2000 and then again at Wrestlemania X7, so the first one kind of lost it's luster as time went on. Wrestlemania 16 featured a "pretty good" triple threat match between Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, and Chris Jericho for Angle's Intercontinental and European titles. The match stands out as a classic moment due to Angle losing both belts, but the match itself was below the standard of the talent involved. Lastly, the main event was considered a disappointment at the time, due to Triple H becoming the first heel to retain the WWF title in the main event at a Wrestlemania. Personally, I loved the match, as it was the culmination to a storyline I was heavily invested in, but I'll never forget my shock and immediate outrage that Triple H walked out as champion.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oXVrymgT6s4/TjwAWL11ryI/AAAAAAAAAU4/L4rLFtlGVfY/s1600/ladder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oXVrymgT6s4/TjwAWL11ryI/AAAAAAAAAU4/L4rLFtlGVfY/s320/ladder.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />If Wrestlemania was a disappointment, Backlash 2000 was the surprise hit of the year. I've heard people say that Backlash 2000 should have been Wrestlemania, as it was a strong card full of great action and hot feuds. Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit had their fantastic Intercontinental title match I'd mentioned before, Big Show mocked Hulk Hogan as the "Showster" while gleefully squashing the awesomely obnoxious Kurt Angle, and Triple H and The Rock had a tremendous main event. The Rock/HHH rivalry had reached a hard-to-come-by boiling point and the crowd was on the edge of their seat during the bout due to the absence of Stone Cold Steve Austin, who had been advertised as being in Rock's corner. DX and the McMahons interferred on behalf of Triple H throughout the match, so when Austin's music hit, the building exploded. I don't think I've ever witnessed a more passionate crowd reaction on a WWE show. Backlash 2000 also had a strong undercard, as Scotty 2 Hotty had a mini-classic against Dean Malenko for the Light-heavyweight title and Eddie Guerrero defended the European title against Essa Rios. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i63RHbbs4_I/TjwA107BvDI/AAAAAAAAAU8/TfJKlARcMrI/s1600/rock+2000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i63RHbbs4_I/TjwA107BvDI/AAAAAAAAAU8/TfJKlARcMrI/s320/rock+2000.jpg" width="263" /></a></div><br /><br />The tag team scene was crazy awesome in 2000. Aside from the trinity of greatness that was Edge and Christian, the Dudleys, and the Hardy Boys, there was a deep division. X-Pac and Road Dogg represented DX during this time and they had a very strong match with Edge and Christian at Backlash. Test and Albert were getting pushed as T&amp;A, along with newcomer Trish Stratus as their valet. They had an entertaining feud with the Dudley Boys, based on Bubba Ray's desire to put Trish through a table. The storyline ultimately turned the Dudleys face, as Trish was over as a snooty heel. Meanwhile, Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay were catching on as Too Cool. They should join Rikishi in the ring for dance celebrations that were a true guilty pleasure of the era. Al Snow and Steve Blackman were the mismatched odd-ball team, Head Cheese, and while they never got a signficant run, they were solid hands and produced numerous memorable vignettes. My personal favorite was when Al Snow signed Steve Blackman up to deliver stand-up comedy at a nursing home. These segments almost always ended up with Blackman losing his temper and hitting someone (but not usually Snow).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aEHWz6TVYqQ/TjwBPDkCe2I/AAAAAAAAAVA/dIVeDJddVMQ/s1600/head+cheese.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="177" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aEHWz6TVYqQ/TjwBPDkCe2I/AAAAAAAAAVA/dIVeDJddVMQ/s320/head+cheese.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />2000 was a unique year in that the Hardcore title division was also interesting. Crash Holly had won the title early in the year and decided that he would defend the belt anytime, anywhere, against anyone. This resulted in the entire lower mid-card recruiting referees to try and ambush Holly. The Mean Street Posse once jumped Crash in his hotel room and anothe time at the airport. The Headbangers attacked Crash at a carnival, which resulted in a hilarious sequence where Crash fought them off in a ball pit. Even divas, such as Ivory, would attack Crash when he was most vulnerable, say during a massage. The result was half the roster got to hold the Hardcore title for at least a few moments. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jOl7LOKRzQA/TjwBc-GZFOI/AAAAAAAAAVE/-dOsqhMBhIo/s1600/crash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jOl7LOKRzQA/TjwBc-GZFOI/AAAAAAAAAVE/-dOsqhMBhIo/s1600/crash.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Lita burst onto the scene in 2000. She was paired up with Essa Rios, who was supposed to set the Light-heavyweight division on fire. Rios fizzled out quickly and took his out his frustration by attacking Lita. The Hardy Boys saved her and she transitioned to their valet. They became Team Extreme and got over in a really big way. I remember being 16 and thinking Lita was the greatest thing ever but finding it a little annoying that she was excused by the commentators for her frequent interference matches. I also recall a strange episode of Heat, when Lita and the Hardy's were in an elimination match against T&amp;A and Trish Stratus. The match came down to Lita alone against Test and she actually managed to fight him off for a stretch before he put her down with a big boot. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PQ5SrYJd3bE/TjwBly0wf4I/AAAAAAAAAVI/_1gJNCyKaJA/s1600/rios+lita.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PQ5SrYJd3bE/TjwBly0wf4I/AAAAAAAAAVI/_1gJNCyKaJA/s320/rios+lita.jpg" width="276" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-2137606990267726926?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-3055789825646685202011-08-04T10:19:00.000-04:002011-08-04T10:19:54.217-04:002000 was a significant year. The world didn't end due to any Y2K nonsense, Al Gore and George W. Bush fought to a time limit draw, and MTV still occasionally played music videos while you were awake. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NPW4Zp3xmiw/TjqnefQ7mFI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/LDngo47PBQ4/s1600/election.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NPW4Zp3xmiw/TjqnefQ7mFI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/LDngo47PBQ4/s320/election.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />2000 was significant for me in on a personal level. I was a freshmen in high school, I got my first job in the summer, and my grandmother died late in the year. It was a time of transition and change.<br /><br />It was also the first year that I became something of a hardcore wrestling fan. I had enjoyed wrestling for a few years up to that point. My jumping in point was the WCW/nWo: World Tour video game for the Nintendo 64. I might be embarassed to say that this game introduced me to Eddy Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, and Rey Mysterio Jr. It also got me interested in wrestling on more than a channel surfing level. I missed most of the good stuff during the Monday Night Wars because I did not have cable. I would instead watch Shotgun Saturday Night on my local ABC affiliate. By the time I finally got cable, in January 2000, WCW was in shambles but the World Wrestling Federation was still red hot. I hadn't kept up with WWF happenings for a few months, so when I started watching again my initial thoughts included:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9nDBohNdBm0/TjqnrPcWpRI/AAAAAAAAAUU/G1y1GtqIN5o/s1600/wcw+world+tour.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9nDBohNdBm0/TjqnrPcWpRI/AAAAAAAAAUU/G1y1GtqIN5o/s1600/wcw+world+tour.png" /></a></div><br /><br />-Whoa, Triple H is the World champion? Didn't see that coming! That's not sarcasm either, I honestly didn't think he was World championship material. Keep in mind, he mainly stuck out in my mind as one of many DX members during that era. He was the guy who couldn't win a match without Chyna butting in. Furthermore, sweet little Stephanie McMahon had turned heel and was now ruling the show as HHH's wife! And speaking of Chyna...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jVw_ZClMH_4/Tjqn3JKz9cI/AAAAAAAAAUY/rKluMvygEcU/s1600/hhh2000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jVw_ZClMH_4/Tjqn3JKz9cI/AAAAAAAAAUY/rKluMvygEcU/s320/hhh2000.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />-Chyna now had her own mini-me! She was on her own and had The Kat shadowing her. Even stranger, The Kat was the Women's Champion, but get this, she legitimately could not wrestle. I don't think I saw her wrestle a single match other than to drop the title to Jacquelyn. During this time, The Kat was the real-life girlfriend of Jerry "The King" Lawler and he would drool all over her (as he did with divas in general) on commentary. Nothing&nbsp;was creepier than Lawler, who was already in his later forties by this point, admiring "Ms. Kitty."<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5SAMqpPM7r4/TjqojXgjyFI/AAAAAAAAAUc/dWTx3-wQLWw/s1600/kat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5SAMqpPM7r4/TjqojXgjyFI/AAAAAAAAAUc/dWTx3-wQLWw/s320/kat.jpg" width="292" /></a></div><br /><br />-Chris Jericho had jumped to the WWF and was on a roll. By April, he was my favorite wrestler in the company and I was eagerly hoping he'd get elevated to main event status. At the time, I thought he could rival The Rock in popularity, and there were times in 2000 when that actually was the case. Chris Jericho was also the wrestler who made me appreciate actual work-rate of matches. His series against Kurt Angle, and then Chris Benoit absolutely captivated me. This was a time when I thought Big Show and Rock lumbering through a punch-fest at No Way Out was exciting. Then at Backlash, Jericho and Benoit tore the house down and I realized that their high-speed, technically sound matches were far more enjoyable to me. I can probably thank Jericho and Benoit for being the hooks that kept me into wrestling longer than just a high school phase.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ilzeM_xZW-0/TjqpQN1Q-tI/AAAAAAAAAUg/areCRXQ7Nbg/s1600/jericho+benoit.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="178" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ilzeM_xZW-0/TjqpQN1Q-tI/AAAAAAAAAUg/areCRXQ7Nbg/s320/jericho+benoit.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />-This guy I had never heard of, some Olympic gold medal winner, you know him as Kurt Angle, had arrived on the scene. He was gloriously obnoxious. He carried around his gold medals and flaunted them at every chance. He lectured us on his moral superiority, and preached his "three I's" of "integrity, intelligence, and intensity." Angle made himself out to be a complete and utter boy scout of Ned Flanders proportions, but at the same time he was a cowardly heel and a sore loser. This is the Kurt Angle that I remember the most fondly as he was incredibly entertaining.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u-uXNfGLjhI/Tjqpb_PC0rI/AAAAAAAAAUk/kqvu0pyYu7Y/s1600/kurt+angle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u-uXNfGLjhI/Tjqpb_PC0rI/AAAAAAAAAUk/kqvu0pyYu7Y/s1600/kurt+angle.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />-Edge and Christian had broken off from Gangrel. They were building steam in a great series of matches against hot opponents like the Hardy Boys and the Dudley Boys. Gangrel had fallen off the radar, along with out Attitude Era staples like Val Venis, D'Lo Brown, and The Godfather. Venis would get a short-lived push later in the year with Trish Stratus as his valet, but would then get lost in the shuffle as a member of Right to Censor. D'Lo Brown and Godfather were cruising along as a makeshift tag team but Godfather would also head to RTC while Brown would wind up in a go-nowhere tag team with Chaz.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v2VLI2XC42A/Tjqppz_NeaI/AAAAAAAAAUo/mi58VVEPGrc/s1600/edge+and+christian.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v2VLI2XC42A/Tjqppz_NeaI/AAAAAAAAAUo/mi58VVEPGrc/s320/edge+and+christian.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />-Mick Foley made the transformation from Mankind into Cactus Jack to really elevate his WWF title feud against Triple H. Their Hell in a Cell match at No Way Out was heart-wrenching for me, as Foley was my favorite wrestler at the time. I could not believe when Foley was forced to retire after that match but it was also the first time that I really took Triple H seriously as a champion. I ate up the entire build to Wrestlemania 16 and really enjoyed the way the scheduled main event kept changing. After No Way Out, it was going to be Triple H vs. Big Show, to which The Rock accurately said would suck. The Rock got himself back in the match and later Linda McMahon would put the freshly retired Mick Foley into it as well. It might not have been a great Wrestlemania event, but I loved the build and the follow up heading into the Backlash pay-per-view.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-amlg954s3_s/TjqqPXbLb3I/AAAAAAAAAUs/LXiFtCAgCYA/s1600/big+show.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-amlg954s3_s/TjqqPXbLb3I/AAAAAAAAAUs/LXiFtCAgCYA/s1600/big+show.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />-Shortly after the Royal Rumble, the Radicalz jumped ship from WCW. I'll never forget the excitement of Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn, and Dean Malenko showing up in the front row. Shortly after, they attacked members of DX who had gotten into their faces. I loved the way that Raw and Smackdown always ended with a great cliff-hanger during this time. On Smackdown, the Radicalz all lost matches that had contracts on the line. I would then spend the entire weekend anticipating Raw because I didn't want them to leave. Then Raw would air and not only would the Radicalz get their contracts, but they would backstab Mick Foley in the process. Now I wanted to see them get their collective asses kicked. It was a great time to be a fan.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V8oMAgEH-cE/TjqqZyzBD0I/AAAAAAAAAUw/HPoukgDBvZk/s1600/radicalz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V8oMAgEH-cE/TjqqZyzBD0I/AAAAAAAAAUw/HPoukgDBvZk/s320/radicalz.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-305578982564668520?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-84414404770852401412011-08-03T10:20:00.005-04:002011-08-08T10:57:40.244-04:00<table border="1"><tbody> <tr><th>This Chart</th><th>Song</th><th>Artist</th><th>Last</th></tr> <tr><td>1</td><td>"Every Tear is a Waterfall"</td><td>Coldplay</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>2</td><td>"Sunset in July"</td><td>311</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>3</td><td>"Young Blood"</td><td>The Naked and Famous</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>4</td><td>"Cough Syrup"</td><td>Young the Giant</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>5</td><td>"Keep on Bringing Me Down"</td><td>Forever the Sickest Kids</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>6</td><td>"People Say"</td><td>Portugal.The Man</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>7</td><td>"Coyote"</td><td>The Lonely Forest</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>8</td><td>"Lions in Cages"</td><td>Wolfgang</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>9</td><td>"Time Bomb"</td><td>All Time Low</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>10</td><td>"Houdini"</td><td>Foster the People</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>11</td><td>"Peggy Sang the Blues"</td><td>Frank Turner</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>12</td><td>"Simple Math"</td><td>Manchester Orchestra</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>13</td><td>"You Are a Tourist"</td><td>Death Cab for Cutie</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>14</td><td>"Refuge"</td><td>Colin Devlin</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>15</td><td>"It's Not All About You"</td><td>Face to Face</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>16</td><td>"Summer Holiday"</td><td>Wild Nothing</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>17</td><td>"Taken for a Fool"</td><td>The Strokes</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>18</td><td>"What You Know"</td><td>Two Door Cinema Club</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>19</td><td>"Say You Like Me"</td><td>We the Kings</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>20</td><td>"Revolution"</td><td>Flogging Molly</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>21</td><td>"Summer Fires"</td><td>Wilderness of Manitoba</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>22</td><td>"Roll Away Your Stone"</td><td>Mumford and Sons</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>23</td><td>"Up All Night"</td><td>Blink 182</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>24</td><td>"Make It Stop"</td><td>Rise Against</td><td>NEW</td></tr> <tr><td>25</td><td>"Don't Sit Down 'Cause I Moved..."</td><td>Arctic Monkeys</td><td>NEW</td></tr> </tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-8441440477085240141?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-57725831461530816592011-08-03T10:04:00.022-04:002011-08-03T10:16:03.985-04:00First off, can you believe there were SIXTEEN WWE pay-per-views in 2006? They had an incredible sprint of mediocrity late in the year, as Survivor Series, December to Dismember, and Armageddon all took place within a six week span. They managed to set some record low buyrates and since eased off on the insane number of shows they were running.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IpF7KTvbuec/TjlW8fmA1ZI/AAAAAAAAATg/0o2YR_T7anw/s1600/1newyearsrevolution06.jpg"><img style="display: block;

I love doing my personal music chart, but it becomes something of a burden when I get busy with work during the school year (in case you're wondering, I'm a teacher).<br /><br />My friends and I have been discussing the possibility of starting up a podcast. We've been day-dreaming about that for months now, but if we do get it rolling, I will probably use this blog as the broadcasting home.<br /><br />I had to take down the posts with the old ROH on HDNet TV show as the ROHBrazil youtube channel got shut down. Sadly, that cut out a lot of my content. I will need to create more original material.<br /><br />I am growing weary of my supplemental retail job. If I could find a way to make money doing something I enjoy on the internet I would be overjoyed. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-4917747235230569369?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-71093949404571813132010-08-18T17:38:00.000-04:002010-08-18T17:38:01.955-04:00<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/glii-kazad8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/glii-kazad8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-7109394940457181313?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-87504860913503810972010-08-17T11:04:00.016-04:002010-08-17T11:11:46.361-04:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s7u27a6rpLo/TGqmUVAlrMI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/5-mj4p62Pzo/s1600/1nrewyearsrevolution.jpg"><img style="display:block;

McNaught had a history of drug problems, namely painkillers and sleeping pills, which contributed to his being released from World Wrestling Entertainment. It troubles me to see a young man like McNaught, who was only 29, passing away due to drug issues. It was bad enough seeing this happen to the wrestling stars who came up in the 80's and 90's, but I had hoped that the generation of the 00's would avoid such a fate. Instead, we've lost Umaga and now Lance Cade. It also troubles me that WWE's Wellness Policy seems designed more so to protect WWE's public image by making sure wrestlers aren't dropping dead under their employment, but doesn't seem to go very far into actually addressing the problem itself.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-7477551451959504511?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-72195211937171299462010-08-13T14:49:00.002-04:002010-08-13T14:49:50.285-04:00<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sg0tDp3Muy4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sg0tDp3Muy4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />This video basically highlights what I've been doing all summer and why I haven't been keeping up with the blog.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-7219521193717129946?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-65241442851865688192010-07-29T15:42:00.003-04:002010-07-29T15:44:56.741-04:00<p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s7u27a6rpLo/TFHZsDALwpI/AAAAAAAAAO4/uXClUtrBvb0/s1600/COOLTOUR_website1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499415970739634834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 149px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s7u27a6rpLo/TFHZsDALwpI/AAAAAAAAAO4/uXClUtrBvb0/s320/COOLTOUR_website1.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center">House of Blues, Boston MA - 7/20/10<br /><br /></p><div align="center">War of Ages - B</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Cancer Bats - D</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Architects - C</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">The Acacia Strain - B</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Blessthefall - B-</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Between the Buried and Me - A-</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Underoath - B</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">As I Lay Dying - A</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-6524144285186568819?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-16062408315990257622010-07-06T16:40:00.001-04:002010-07-06T16:41:58.823-04:00I'm going to be in Washington for the next week and then in Maine for a week and a half.

The show only costs $14.99 and will be airing on GoFightLive.TV. I am very excited about this event. In a time when WWE fires Bryan Danielson for choking with a tie and TNA refuses to elevate Desmond Wolfe when the fans demand it, it is extremely important that we all support products like Ring of Honor and help them reach the next stage. The Tyler Black/Davey Richards main event could be a MOTYC and there is no obvious winner. The El Generico/Kevin Steen match has been building since Final Battle 2009 and could steal the show. Christopher Daniels will be taking on Kenny Omega, a man who many consider to be the next ace. Austin Aries collides with Delirious. The Kings of Wrestling (Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero) defend the ROH Tag Team titles against the Briscoes. There is a lot of bad bood there, as the Briscoes attacked the KOW's valet, Sara Del Rey. The KOW responded by attacking the Briscoes' father. These two teams have had awesome matches in the past, this could be another classic.</p><p>On paper, this is the best Ring of Honor show of the last couple of years. If you are sick and tired of being insulted by WWE and TNA, put your money where you mouth is and order this show. </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-319731370826184536?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-41302340448688130852010-06-19T10:19:00.004-04:002010-07-03T20:12:03.911-04:00<table border="1"><tbody><tr><th>This Chart</th><th>Song</th><th>Artist</th><th>Last</th></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>"Robots May Break Your Heart"</td><td>Riverboat Gamblers</td><td>1</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>"American Slang"</td><td>The Gaslight Anthem</td><td>8</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>"You and Your Heart"</td><td>Jack Johnson</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>"Punch Drunk Grinning Soul"</td><td>Flogging Molly</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>"Lay Me Down"</td><td>Dirty Heads</td><td>6</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>"Trinity"</td><td>Paper Tongues</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>"We Share the Same Skies"</td><td>The Cribs</td><td>15</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>"Flash Delirium"</td><td>MGMT</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>"Dog Days Are Over"</td><td>Florence + The Machine</td><td>7</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>"I Was a Teenage Anarchist"</td><td>Against Me!</td><td>9</td></tr><tr><td>11</td><td>"Get It Right"</td><td>Authority Zero</td><td>13</td></tr><tr><td>12</td><td>"You Will Leave a Mark"</td><td>A Silent Film</td><td>18</td></tr><tr><td>13</td><td>"Neutron Star Collision"</td><td>Muse</td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>14</td><td>"1983"</td><td>Neon Trees</td><td>11</td></tr><tr><td>15</td><td>"Heartbeat Song"</td><td>The Futureheads</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>"Wild and Young"</td><td>American Bang</td><td>14</td></tr><tr><td>17</td><td>"Imaginary Enemy"</td><td>Circa Survive</td><td>12</td></tr><tr><td>18</td><td>"Can't Get Enough"</td><td>Rooney</td><td>25</td></tr><tr><td>19</td><td>"The Royal We"</td><td>Silversun Pickups</td><td>22</td></tr><tr><td><p>20</p></td><td>"Trippin' Down the Freeway"</td><td>Weezer</td><td>24</td></tr></td></tr><tr><td><p>21</p></td><td>"Bottled in a Cork"</td><td>Ted &amp; The Pharmacists</td><td>20</td></tr></td></tr><tr><td><p>22</p></td><td>"Little Lion Man"</td><td>Mumford and Sons</td><td>23</td></tr></td></tr><tr><td><p>23</p></td><td>"Giving Up the Gun"</td><td>Vampire Weekend</td><td>16</td></tr></td></tr><tr><td><p>24</p></td><td>"The American Scream"</td><td>Alkaline Trio</td><td>NEW</td></tr></td></tr><tr><td><p>25</p></td><td>"Gaia Bleeds (Make Way for Man)</td><td>Set Your Goals</td><td>NEW</td></tr></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p>There will not be a new list next week on account of me getting married.

I've been a fan since I was a kid and stuck with it even as an adult. My fan status has been tested greatly at times, for instance the Katie Vick saga in 2002, Triple H = God in 2003/2004, and many horrendous stretches of blatantly bad television here and there. I almost walked away in 2002, but the Smackdown Six kept me on board. I nearly quit again in 2005, but the curiosity of newly cemented company leaders John Cena and Batista strung me along. Then they brought in guys like CM Punk, Evan Bourne, and others who I had an invented interest in seeing. There has always been a hook, even when the product is horrible.<br /><br />The past year has been another rough stretch. I had to see Jeff Hardy burn out again. I had to sit through CM Punk getting elevated to what appeared to be a permanent main event status, only to get the rug pulled out from under him (though I acknowledge that his SES angle has done wonders for him). I have to sit through week after week of "celebrity" guest hosts. I had to bear witness to the abomination that was Chavo Guerrero vs. Hornswoggle (I kind of consider that one to be the anti-Austin/McMahon feud). Even with WWE going PG, that hasn't been a big issue to me, because it seemed like all it really did was prevent embarassing trash storylines from making it on TV and the lack of blood was a non-issue as far as I'm concerned.<br /><br />But now, I think I have just about had it.<br /><br />On Monday, Raw was complete and utter shit. It was truly embarassing. Need I say anything more than "dancing Vladimir Kozlov?" But at the very end, something interesting and unexpected happened. The NXT rookies stormed the ring, beat up everyone at ringside, tore the announce tables and ring apart, and gave John Cena the worst beating he's suffered in years. It was the first truly interesting and exciting angle that had come along in years. Think about it, in recent memory WWE's idea of a big angle is "Who killed Mr. McMahon" or "Who is Mr. McMahon's bastard son?" NXT rookies invading is a great wrestling concept that would lead to, what are those things called, oh yeah: MATCHES! And in the midst of all the excitement, Daniel Bryan choked Justin Roberts with his own tie, spat in Cena's face, and informed Cena that he was "not better than me." It was fantastic and I was eagerly anticipating what the follow-up would be on the next Raw.<br /><br />But nope. Not anymore. To my disbelief, I clicked onto 411Mania only to read that WWE had released Daniel Bryan. This made no sense at all to me, because there had to be a good reason, right? We are talking about a man who in recent weeks pinned The Miz cleanly and went toe-to-toe with Batista. If I didn't know better, I would say that Daniel Bryan was a man that WWE had big plans for. So why was he released? The first idea was that the Linda McMahon for Senate campaign was horrified by the Justin Roberts choking because of a fear that Linda's opponents could make Chris Benoit comparisons. That seems like a stretch to me, but whatever. But then, the seemingly real reason came up. Mattel, the toy company, which makes WWE action figures, did not like the incident. And apparently it was not enough to just ask WWE never to do another choking segment again, apparently they need Daniel Bryan fired.<br /><br />So now the NXT invasion could be in jeopardy. Perhaps it will continue as planned, just minus Daniel Bryan. Or maybe the whole thing will be scrapped due to the violent nature of it, which is just too much for Mattel. I don't see how or why Mattel should be calling the shots. They make action figures and games based on Avatar, but I don't recall James Cameron asking them for permission for what he could or couldn't do in that film. Did Mattel even see Avatar, there is quite a bit of violence in that film, including the DEATH of several characters. Basically, if WWE now operates in a business model that includes taking orders from their toy companies and bending over to appease them, then I am no longer interested in the WWE product. I have sat through too much shit over the years to have to tolerate my favorite wrestler getting fired because he upset the Hot Wheels guys.<br /><br />On the plus side, the rumors seem to suggest that WWE will rehire Bryan in a few months, after this has cooled down, but that is still unacceptable to me. Daniel Bryan is needed on television NOW. The NXT angle needs him NOW. He has worked too hard for too long and taken too many bumps over the years to even have to wait six months. He earned his job with WWE and paid more than his share of dues along the way. I really hope the internet outrage over this incident spills over onto Raw. "We want Hardy" chants got Matt Hardy back into the WWE once, perhaps "We want Bryan" could do the same. To get rid of him this way is an insult to everything he went through to get there in the first place. It's an insult to every fan who supported Bryan over the years. And it's an insult to us fans who put up with all the stupid shit in WWE programming in the hopes that someone like Bryan will make it to the top.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-6729266405988708703?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-78581639606746675792010-06-14T08:53:00.006-04:002010-06-14T08:57:44.771-04:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s7u27a6rpLo/TBYnAzv4LdI/AAAAAAAAAOw/ffnvQimJbr4/s1600/1royalrumble.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482612491214663122" style="DISPLAY: block;

There was just too much that I didn't want to exclude. I'm excited that "Tripping Down the Freeway" is the new Weezer single, as it has easily been my favorite track from <em>Raditude</em>. </p><p>Minor note, I'm definitely going to miss Warped Tour due to my honeymoon (which is okay given the circumstances). To make up for it, I'm going to the Scream It Like You Mean It Tour on August 6th, featuring Silverstein, Dance Gavin Dance, We Came As Romans, and a host of others. I'm also contemplating The Cool Tour, featuring As I Lay Dying and Underoath. </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

might have noticed that I did not post a new Top 20 songs list on Friday. This is because I really haven't heard anything new or exciting in the last week (the closest is a new single by Amber Pacific that I merely just kind of like). So please consider last week's list to double for this week as well. <br /><br />My Warped Tour trip is up in the air now due to my pending honeymoon. Awful, right? It'll be okay if I miss the show, there's really not that much going on that I'm completely stoked for, going to Warped Tour is more of a summer ritual than anything else. I expect I'll be going to Soulfest in August for at least one evening to see some hard rock/metal bands, and I'm contemplating going to the As I Lay Dying/Underoath festival in later July. There's plenty of summer concert goodness.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

This was my second BTW event, the first being from June of 2009. BTW is a successful New England independent federation, with a half hour television show on MyNetworkTV on Fridays after Smackdown. Justin Credible and Spike Dudley are their two main event stars, the rest of the roster is made up of local guys and is a frequent stop for big names who are no longer employed by the WWE.<br /><br />The video I took is not great quality, but features some (awesome) promo work, entrances for Tatanka and Jim Duggan, and the conclusion to a championship match between Credible and Spike. </p><br /><p></p><br /><p><br /><object style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/fjlGnJKpke0/hqdefault.jpg)" height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fjlGnJKpke0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fjlGnJKpke0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" width="425" height="344" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-4280758097128837991?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-27894829832878007352010-04-18T00:45:00.006-04:002010-04-18T00:50:16.846-04:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s7u27a6rpLo/S8qPdujN6QI/AAAAAAAAAEY/U4KGclqFmMs/s1600/BradenWalkerDVD.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461335239014869250" style="DISPLAY: block;

It wasn't the "greatest of all time" but it was still a fine show. It was also the first full wrestling event I've watched in HD, so I think I was noticing a lot more of the botches than I normally would, as there seemed to be quite a few scattered throughout the evening.<br /><br /><strong>Unified Tag Team Championship: ShoMiz vs. John Morrison/R-Truth</strong><br />You could tell from the opening bell that this was going to be short, as they wasted no time hitting their key spots and signature moves. The match only went a little over 3 minutes, so while obviously robbed for time, it was an enjoyable 3 minutes. I'm mainly glad that the tag titles weren't kicked down to dark match status. *1/2.<br /><br /><strong>Randy Orton vs. Ted Dibiase vs. Cody Rhodes</strong><br />I think I liked this more than most people, as the general perception is that Rhodes and Dibiase came off as the two biggest jobbers who ever jobbed before. They held their own up until Orton took advantage of their dissension and punted Rhodes in the head and RKO'd Dibiase for victory. The more troubling aspect here is how after two solid years of being pushed heavily that the crowd didn't care one bit for either Legacy member. **1/2.<br /><br /><strong>Money in the Bank</strong><br />Generally brutal and exciting, as usual, just missing the one or two really big !!! spots. The highlight was easily Evan Bourne's Shooting Star Press off a ladder. Sadly, Kofi Kingston botches a run up a ladder for a corner attack. I have to admit, that I did not see the Jack Swagger victory coming, nor did I see him cashing it in less than a week later. I enjoyed this and I liked seeing most of the guys in the match get a spot at Wrestlemania (though again, it's kind of sad just how not over Drew McIntyre is despite months of an aggressive push).<br /><br /><strong>Triple H vs. Sheamus</strong><br />A lot of folks out there are claiming that Triple H's victory here means that Sheamus is finished. That really isn't the case, as this was a competitive 12 minute match and the feud doesn't seem to be over. There is a big difference between HHH nailing the pedigree on Booker T and waiting an eternity to pin him and Sheamus eating the pedigree and getting pinned immediately after. This was about what I expected, **1/2.<br /><br /><strong>CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio</strong><br />Like the opening match, I could sense this was going to be quick just by how they were pacing themselves from the opening bell. They packed a lot of action into the 6-7 minutes they got. They even squeazed in a good story, with Punk outsmarting Mysterio most steps of the way, including numerous blocks/reversals of the 619. Ultimately, Rey got the win, so all the kids in the stadium got a feel-good moment. It doesn't appear this feud is over either. **1/2.<br /><br /><strong>Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon</strong><br />This was a mess. It went about 11 minutes, which was about 10 minutes too long. Normally these Vince at 'Mania matches are entertaining train wrecks, but it was like they didn't even try, especially with Vince carting out the entire Hart family and Hart Dynasty from the very beginning, claiming he had paid them off to betray Bret. Even Stevie Wonder could see the coming swerve, as it turns out they took Vince's money and decided to screw him. Bret awkwardly beat down Vince while the crowd waited patiently for the sharpshooter. No rating, but this was bad.<br /><br /><strong>World Heavyweight Championship: Chris Jericho vs. Edge</strong><br />I really enjoyed this one and got sucked in by it. I was so happy when Jericho won, that it feels a bit more frustrating that he reign would end two days later at the Smackdown tapings. It was also surprising that Jericho got a semi-clean victory, as Edge had foiled his cheating attempts up until the Codebreaker finished things after about 16 minutes. I thought for sure that this was just going to be false finish, so when the referee counted 3 it got quite the surprised reaction from me. I have a feeling that repeated viewings will cause my heart to grow fonder of this bout, but for now I'd peg it at ***1/2.<br /><br /><strong>Divas Tag</strong><br />This worked a lot better than last year's disasterous battle royal, but still was not a good match by any stretch of the imagination. It was basically each diva hitting the one good move they each know until Vickie attempted a frog splash and won the match. Seriously, Vickie's splash is bound to go down in history as one of the all-time great bad moments in wrestling. *<br /><br /><strong>WWE Championship: Batista vs. John Cena</strong><br />Maybe it was the HD, but I found this to be largely sloppy and something of a mess up until things got hot down the final stretch. They packed in a lot of reversals and counters that might have been awesome if not for the fact they were so badly executed. Despite all that, I was pretty into the match, and the finish was satisfying. Repeat viewings might help this one as well, ***.<br /><br /><strong>Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker</strong><br />My sense as the bell rang here was that this match would make or break this show. The stipulations here added a lot, as I couldn't really imagine either man winning because what it would mean for the other. I enjoyed watching this more than I have any other live match in years. The final stretch, where Undertaker helped Shawn up, only to get slapped, and responding with a jumping tombstone piledriver was a fantastic moment and a fitting way for Shawn Michaels to call it a career. I liked this more than last year's Shawn/Taker match, ****3/4.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-1088890294314611688?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-79225135454816314652010-04-03T10:20:00.003-04:002010-04-03T10:27:43.461-04:00<ol><li>"Song Away" by Hockey</li><li>"Resistance" by Muse</li><li>"Little Secrets" by Passion Pit</li><li>"This Addiction" by Alkaline Trio</li><li>"Have Faith in Me" by A Day to Remember</li><li>"Her Words Destroyed My Planet" by Motion City Soundtrack</li><li>"Stylo" by Gorillaz</li><li>"Giving Up the Gun" by Vampire Weekend</li><li>"Animal" by Neon Trees</li><li>"Breakeven" by The Script</li></ol><p>Farewell to Alice in Chains, The Rocket Summer, and OK GO.

I'm glad to see Beth, Mickie, Gail, Maryse, and even Michelle getting a 'Mania spot. I'm guessing the face divas win, so they get a chance to royally humiliate Vickie and provide a good pop segment for the live audience.<br /><br /><strong>Triple H vs. Sheamus</strong><br />If Sheamus wasn't Triple H's bestest buddy in the whole world, I'd call for him to get squashed in under a minute (since every recent 'Mania seems to have one of those). I'm guessing we'll get a decent 10 minute bout that won't set the world on fire, but will still give Triple H a victory. HHH has done a lot of jobs at 'Mania, so I can see him wanting to pad his record, and Sheamus is still a newcomer, so he'll have lots of time to shine later.<br /><br /><strong>Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk</strong><br />With the stipulation being that if Rey loses, he must join the Straight Edge Society, I see Punk picking up the victory to prolong the angle/feud. I know Wrestlemania is supposed to be the big show where all feuds are blown off, but that hasn't been the case in a looong time. Hopefully they get at least 10 minutes, and these two are hard workers so it should be a solid addition to the midcard. I'm also glad that CM Punk gets to be on Wrestlemania in something other than Money in the Bank.<br /><br /><strong>Randy Orton vs. Ted Dibiase vs. Cody Rhodes</strong><br />After the solid year that Legacy had in 2009, I'm really glad that Dibiase and Rhodes have 'Mania spots this year. I'm guessing this match will be remembered more for big angle developments rather than match-quality, but the handicap match they had on Raw a few weeks ago was quite good and if they can match that, then we have another solid midcard addition. I see Orton picking up the win here, though I wouldn't rule out a surprise Dibiase upset, especially if WWE still regards him as the potential next big thing.<br /><br /><strong>Money in the Bank: Christian vs Dolph Ziggler vs Jack Swagger vs Evan Bourne vs Kane vs Drew McIntyre vs Kofi Kingston vs Matt Hardy vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin</strong><br />Many folks are upset about there being 10 men in this one, but I don't think it really matters due to the trainwreck nature of the "every man for himself" ladder match. Also, it would be bothersome if most of these guys couldn't score a 'Mania spot. What I love is that there are no full-time main eventers here, or anyone who has had a meaningful World title run in WWE (sorry to former ECW champions Christian, Kane, Swagger, and Hardy). A few months ago, I would have pegged Kofi Kingston as the winner, but it seems the office has soured on him and he's lost his push. There is no clear winner in this group, but Christian just barely rises above the rest of the flock. There are lots of storyline opportunities for Christian to be Mr. Money in the Bank, it all depends on whether or not WWE is ready to push him to the next level.<br /><br /><strong>No Holds Barred: Vince McMahon vs. Bret Hart</strong><br />Come on, when has Vince ever won a match at Wrestlemania? Due to Hart's head condition and Vince's general old age, I can't see this being much more than a quick, nasty squash. Bret Hart wins and everyone gets to have a feel good moment.<br /><br /><strong>Unified Tag Team Championship: The Miz and Big Show (c) vs. John Morrison and R-Truth</strong><br />It's sad that I'm really hoping that Daniel Bryan gets involved in this somehow, so he can at least have had a 'Mania appearance. This will probably be one of the shorter matches on the card, but should be good while it lasts. Hopefully Morrison and Miz get a chance to play off of their history a little bit. I'm calling for Miz and Big Show to retain, especially since Morrison and Truth seem tossed together just so they could be a part of Wrestlemania.<br /><br /><strong>Streak vs. Career: The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels</strong><br />I don't see this being as long as last year's 30 minute classic, due to Undertaker's physical condition, but I still see them pulling out all the stops to have another blockbuster. This could well be Shawn's last match as an active wrestler, so you know he is going to want to leave on a high note. This could be Undertaker's last match too, since he's been flirting with retirement for years now. This is just speculation, but I kind of feel like both men are regretting that they didn't retire after 'Mania last year, as in hindsight it would have been the perfect way to end their careers so they wanted to set up part two to make sure they are satisfied and not regret the way they went out. The stipulations here are perfect, because it's hard to imagine either man losing. Undertaker's streak has never been in more severe jeopardy. In the end, I'm calling for Undertaker to win, keep the streak intact, and go into retirement but open to coming back for certain big matches.<br /><br /><strong>World Heavyweight Championship: Chris Jericho vs. Edge</strong><br />If it weren't for the fact that a victory here would make Edge a 10-time World champion, I would say he was a lock to win this. I'm not sure WWE is ready to bestow that honor on Edge. Also, even though this is a World title match, there are at least 2-3 other matches on the show that are more anticipated than this, so this one could wind up in the middle of the show. Therefore, it doesn't need to have a feelgood ending. I'm going out on a limb and predicting that Jericho retains and continues to feud with Edge, saving the title switch for a higher spot on a lesser show.<br /><br /><strong>WWE Championship: Batista vs. John Cena</strong><br />Rumor has it that this match is going to close the show. Therefore, I have a hard time believing that the finish will be anything other than Cena standing tall with the belt. I haven't really dug the build to this match since No Way Out, but it was high-time that these two went toe to toe at Wrestlemania. They are arguably the two biggest new stars of the last five years, so this match really has the chance to define the era the way that Rock/Austin defined the Attitude Era and Hogan/Andre defined the 80's. What is also exciting is that the last time Cena and Batista locked up, it was a great match at Summerslam, which I rated ****. If they can match their last bout, and kick it up a few notches, we could have a classic on our hands.<br /><br /><br />All in all, this is the best Wrestlemania, at least on paper, since Wrestlemania X-7. Hopefully nothing screwy happens (a match getting bumped off the main show to be a dark match, a match getting less than a minute) and we really do have one of the greatest shows in history. I don't want to get my hopes up, but if there was ever a reason to hope, this is it!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-1933403527954438982?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-20789439490206995812010-03-26T16:05:00.004-04:002010-03-26T16:08:58.587-04:00<ol><li>"Song Away" by Hockey</li><li>"Resistance" by Muse</li><li>"Little Secrets" by Passion Pit</li><li>"Giving Up the Gun" by Vampire Weekend</li><li>"Her Words Destroyed My Planet" by Motion City Soundtrack</li><li>"Animal" by Neon Trees</li><li>"Walls" by The Rocket Summer</li><li>"This Addiction" by Alkaline Trio</li><li>"Your Decision" by Alice in Chains</li><li>"This Too Shall Pass" by OK GO</li></ol><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-2078943949020699581?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-71764484849392663052010-03-20T14:44:00.003-04:002010-03-26T16:10:16.196-04:00Vans Warped Tour is coming to Mansfield, MA on July 13th! This will be my third consecutive year attending the festival, which has become a true summer highlight for me. Here is the current line-up (bands I'm particularly excited for are bold, bands I'd be interested in checking out are in italics).<br /><br />After Midnight Project<br /><em>Alesana</em><br />AM Taxi<br /><em>Anarbor</em><br />Andrew W.K.<br /><em>Artist vs. Poet</em><br /><em>Attack Attack</em><br />Automatic Loveletter<br />Beachers Madhouse<br /><em>Breathe Carolina</em><br />Bring Me the Horizon<br />Call the Cops<br />Closure in Moscow<br />Confide<br />Emarosa<br />Emmure<br />Enter Shikari<br /><em>Every Time I Die</em><br /><em>Eyes Set to Kill</em><br />Face to Face<br />Fake Problems<br />Far From Finished<br />Fight Fair<br />Flatfoot 56<br />Four Year Strong<br />Gardening Not Architecture<br />Grind Time Now<br />Hey Monday<br />I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business<br />I See Stars<br />In Fear and Faith<br />Theft Alone<br /><em>Mayday Parade</em><br />Middle Finger Salute<br />Mike Posner<br /><em>Motion City Soundtrack</em><br />NeverShoutNever<br /><em>Of Mice and Men</em><br />Parkway Drive<br />Pierce the Veil<br />Polar Bear Club<br /><strong>Reel Big Fish</strong><br />Riverboat Gamblers<br /><em>Set Your Goals</em><br />Sparks the Rescue<br />Suicide Silence<br /><strong>SUM 41</strong><br /><em>The All American Rejects</em><br /><em>The Cab</em><br />The Casualties<br />The Dillinger Escape Plan<br />The Downtown Fiction<br />The Flatliners<br />The Mighty Regis<br />The Pretty Reckless<br />The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band<br />The Rocket Summer<br />The Sparring<br />The Summer Set<br />The Swellers<br /><em>Vanna</em><br />VersaEmerge<br /><em>We Are the In Crowd</em><br /><em>We the Kings</em><br />Whitechapel<br />You Me At Six<br /><br />So, there really aren't too many bands I'm that excited about, but a lot that I'm curious to see. One of the great parts of Warped Tour for me has been discovering new bands and getting into some that I might not have heard otherwise. This year's line-up is a bit of a disappointment after last year's packed roster, but the price is good, the atmosphere is fun, and it just wouldn't be summer as I now know it without it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-7176448484939266305?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-52610421789000308042010-03-19T09:37:00.003-04:002010-03-26T16:09:21.303-04:00<ol><li>"Resistance" by Muse</li><li>"Little Secrets" by Passion Pit</li><li>"Song Away" by Hockey</li><li>"Her Words Destroyed My Planet" by Motion City Soundtrack</li><li>"Your Decision" by Alice in Chains</li><li>"Giving Up the Gun" by Vampire Weekend</li><li>"Animal" by Neon Trees</li><li>"This Too Shall Pass" by OK GO</li><li>"Ambling Amp" by Yeasayer</li><li>"This Addiction" by Alkaline Trio</li></ol><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-5261042178900030804?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-42934049637174403862009-12-31T23:15:00.001-05:002009-12-31T23:17:21.653-05:00Well, it’s that time of year again. New Year’s Eve. 2009 is coming to a close and I’m at home in the midst of a snow storm, so what better time than to look back at my top matches of the year. I will start off by saying that the wrestler of the year is without a doubt Davey Richards. This guy was on a serious roll for the entire 12 months of 2009, having fantastic matches with a variety of opponents in numerous promotions. I would daresay that 9 out of 10 times, if Davey Richards was on a card, it was a show worth seeing and his match was the main attraction. So when you read my list, you will notice a lot of Richards.<br /><br />I should also mention that the only matches of the year that I was unable to see that I wish I could have for consideration on this list are both Desmond Wolfe/Kurt Angle pay-per-view matches, and the recent AJ Styles/Christopher Daniels TNA World title match. Otherwise, I feel pretty satisfied with what I saw this year. I saw every WWE pay-per-view, save for Survivor Series and TLC. I did a better job keeping up with Ring of Honor thanks to some tremendous sales on their website. I got on board with the newly established Dragon Gate USA. And I occasionally watched some TNA. I hope this gives you an idea of what I did, or didn’t watch this year, and will save any angry e-mails that might blast me for ignoring Kurt Angle or Desmond Wolfe.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10) Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards vs. Bryan Danielson and Tyler Black (ROH Double Feature II)</span><br />It would seem that tag team wrestling had a mild recovery in 2009. With WWE unifying their tag belts and featuring them heavily on television and pay-per-view (the recent TLC show was headlined by DX and Jerishow competing for the belts), TNA having such a hot division that they could maintain two championships with one roster, and the continued success of Ring of Honor’s division, which has been a promotion staple for years. 2009 was the year of the American Wolves, featuring Richards and Edwards. They had a lot of great matches this year, but this one was the simply the most compelling. Danielson and Black were a thrown-together unit, but are both main event caliber performers and they pushed the Wolves to the limit. The result was a 45 minute classic. Long matches can be a bore at times, but when a match reaches this length but still feels like an intense 20 minute bout, it deserves some applause. Excellent match and might have been a MOTY in a weaker year, ****½.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">9) Edge vs. John Cena (WWE Backlash)</span><br />There were a lot of groans when this match was signed due to the extensive history these two men have facing off against one another. It would appear that both Cena and Edge were aware of this and stepped up their collective game to put on a classic. They used the Last Man Standing Stipulation well but managed to avoid falling into the trap where the match is dragged down by slow referee counts. They turned up the heat with an impressive F-U spot where Edge landed in the crowd (well, FCW roster, but still cool to see). They brawled into the concession stand area and back to the arena. The match actually ended on the stage, not in the ring, when Big Show got involved. Show choke slammed Cena through one of the spot-lights on the stage, resulting in Cena being unable to meet the 10 count. This gave Edge yet another World title and set up an effective injury angle for Cena. I was hard on Cena a lot this year, as his later matches with Big Show were wretched and the later Orton feud didn’t exactly set the world on fire, but on this night Cena reminded everyone why he belongs in his spot. ****½.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8) Bryan Danielson vs. Naruki Doi (DGUSA Untouchable/Open the Untouchable Gate)</span><br /> Danielson signed a WWE contract late in the summer. During his last month on the independent scene, he really set out to leave a lasting impression. This included fantastic bouts in Ring of Honor, CHIKARA, Pro Wrestling Guerilla, and even a guest appearance on Dragon Gate USA’s second pay-per-view, Untouchable (available on DVD as Open the Untouchable Gate). This match was billed as the North American indy ace (Danielson) squaring off with the Dragon Gate ace (Doi) to see who was really the “best in the world.” The result was an epic contest where both men left it all on the line. There’s not much more to say about this one other than it featured great wrestling, professional selling, big spots, and a dramatic finish when Danielson’s MMA shoulders just weren’t enough to keep Doi down. ****½.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7) Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio (WWE The Bash)</span><br />2009 was a year when WWE suddenly seemed to care about their title belts again. The Intercontinental Championship became the centerpiece of a feud between Jericho and Mysterio. Things became more personal when Jericho unmasked Rey at Extreme Rules, which allowed him to claim the belt. The result was a rematch at The Bash where Rey’s mask was on the line if he could not pick up the victory. They played off their earlier matches perfectly, with Jericho once again going for the mask. This time Rey had a second mask on underneath. Jericho was thrown off enough that Rey was able to pick up the win. It’s not often anymore in the WWE that two wrestlers who can really push each other go out to the ring and surprise the crowd with creative counters and actually have a storyline behind it worthy of a fantastic match. I would encourage the writers to step aside and just let Jericho write his own stories for now on, because this was a worthy successor to his excellent run with Shawn Michaels in 2008. ****½.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6) Bryan Danielson vs. Davey Richards (ROH Final Countdown Tour: Boston)</span><br />Earlier I spoke about how Danielson wanted to leave a lasting impression before he left the indy scene. Well, with this match, he set out to pass the torch to the man he hoped would succeed him as the ace of independent wrestling: Davey Richards. It was Danielson’s second to last night with ROH, so emotions were running high. They wrestled for close to 45 minutes, and there wasn’t a dull moment. Others are going to cite that Danielson’s match with Nigel McGuinness the next night in New York City deserves more recognition, but while that was a fine match, it was a step below what they normally are capable of and was intended to cap off their ROH career on a sentimental note rather than to wow with an epic performance. When it comes to pure pro wrestling awesomeness, this Boston match is the true farewell card. It should be said that depending on how things develop for Richards, this bout could become even more meaningful in the coming years. ****½.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5) Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett (TNA Genesis)</span><br />I’ve got to admit, a few years ago I had predicted that Angle would have been either forced into retirement or killed in the ring prior to 2009. Instead, he carried TNA on his back, with a series of great in-ring performances and another world title reign. Jeff Jarrett was a guy I did not care for at all a few years ago. He was perpetually the NWA champion even though he did not have the crowd heat to justify it nor was he turning in great performances. Basically, from about 2004-2006, I felt that Jarrett was shoved down my throat and was hindering the advancement of TNA. With that said, it was remarkable that a Jarrett/Angle feud was as excellent as it turned out to be. Their Bound for Glory match was a classic in of itself, but this grudge rematch at Genesis was off the charts. There were a few mess-ups along the way, but not the type that took away from my enjoyment of the match (Jarrett caught his leg on the rope during a dive, and later on the guitar weapon fell apart). They were able to integrate the botches in such a way that it added to the story, for example the broken guitar led to a nastier spot with Jarrett cracking a chair at Angle. Considering the real life turmoil between these men (Kurt’s wife splitting for Jeff) it’s a tad more impressive that they were professional enough to still work together. Easily the best TNA match of the year, ****½.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4) Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker (WWE Wrestlemania 25)</span><br />This match has received almost universal praise from all corners of the internet. From blogs, to forums. The Youtube, everyone loved this match. It’s not hard to see why, because it’s two of the longest tenured and most recognizable WWE stars going toe to toe for 30 minutes without a single slow spot. They were firing away at each other from the second the opening bell rang to the bitter end when Undertaker reversed a moonsault into a Tombstone piledriver. Some were critical of the build to this match, as they only really spent a few weeks prior to the show developing a conflict between the competitors, but in this day and age it’s not surprising that the key Wrestlemania matches aren’t getting six months worth of build. What they accomplished was setting up doubt that Undertaker was definitely going over. By this point, Undertaker’s streak is worth more to the fans than the World titles, so there was overwhelming vested interest in the outcome. It’s actually a shame that this bout didn’t main event the show, as the Orton/Triple H match bombed, but with a rematch apparently in the works for Wrestlemania 26 (and potential retirement looming for both men) it could steal the show again. ****½.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3) Davey Richards vs. Shingo (DGUSA Untouchable/Open the Untouchable Gate)</span><br />You might be tired of me talking about Davey Richards by this point, but that’s okay. Richards vs. Shingo was billed as a battle between two of the hardest strikers in the business and it lived up to the hype. However, it wasn’t just a strike-fest, but featured a lot of great selling, counters, and near falls. This immediately followed the previously mentioned Danielson/Doi match and they set out to top it. The post-match happenings were interesting, as Danielson came down to the ring to congratulate Richards on his victory (a huge upset in the Dragon Gate universe) and to put him over verbally as his replacement on the indy scene. Richards responded by doing what very few indy wrestlers can do these days: he got legitimate heel heat by attacking Danielson! I should also note the remarkable progress made by Shingo over the last two years. In 2006-2007 he toured the U.S. and was featured on numerous ROH shows. He was a solid performer then, but not one I would go out of my way to watch perform. How the times have changed. Shingo impressed the hell out of me not only with this bout, but with his match against Naruki Doi on the Enter the Dragon pay-per-view. DGUSA could become a force to reckon with in the coming years, ****¾.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2) John Cena vs. Edge vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kane vs. Mike Knox vs. Chris Jericho (WWE No Way Out)</span><br />I love being surprised. In recent years, that hasn’t happened enough in my wrestling watching. Prior to this elimination chamber match, Edge had lost his WWE title in the opener. He attacked Kofi Kingston during his entrance and took his place in this World Heavyweight title match. John Cena was the defending champion and was eliminated about five minutes after being let out of his cell. The shock value of that set the tone for the rest of the match, especially when it came down to just Edge and Mysterio. For years, Rey Mysterio has been one of my favorite performers, but in 2008 he seemed to be on a quality decline as the injuries kept piling up. What I loved most about this match was the rebirth of Mysterio as a top level performer. He took Edge to the limit and seemed to have the World title secured at numerous points, and the crowd was well behind him! I guess it was also something of a relief that the stink of Rey’s 2006 title reign has been shed. Ultimately, Edge drove Rey into a pod and hit the spear to pick up the World title (just hours removed from losing the WWE title) but what I remember most about this contest was Rey Mysterio’s performance, ****¾.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1) Davey Richards vs. KENTA (ROH Supercard of Honor IV)</span><br />Yep, I’m going to write another love letter to Davey Richards. This was an important match on one of ROH’s biggest shows of the year (held in Houston on the Friday before Wrestlemania). KENTA’s GHC Junior-Heavyweight title was on the line, and it’s a special occasion for that belt to be defended in North America. There was the added backstory that when KENTA had toured the U.S. in 2006, Richards had been booked as his protégé, as at that time Gabe and company were really trying to establish a relatively green Richards as the future of the promotion. The result was a brutal match, they turned up the intensity and played off their past relationship as they both clearly had scouted the other. KENTA ultimately picked up the win after reversing a handspring kick into a modified Go To Sleep. 2009 quietly became a great year for the pro wrestling art form even as guest hosts and bad comedy ran supreme on television.<br /><br />I look forward to coming back to this writing in two years and shaking my head due to the increased self-awareness I’ll have by then.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-4293404963717440386?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-80962633674109380552009-12-04T19:42:00.003-05:002009-12-04T19:45:50.364-05:00Most of you knew him as Umaga. Eddie Fatu passed away today. There is no official word yet as what the cause of death was, but it appears to have been drug-related. <br /><br />Fatu wasn't my favorite wrestler. He did, however, occasionally bust out a great match. I especially liked his work with John Cena and Jeff Hardy. <br /><br />This is one of those nights where I question my fandom of the pro wrestling industry. The business has brought me so much entertainment and joy over the years, but when these tragedies continue to pile up, it really makes me wonder if it's really worth it. <br /><br />I had hoped this younger generation of grapplers would rise above the mistakes of the past generation. But with Andrew Martin, Mike Lockwood, and now Eddie Fatu gone, it appears the deadly trend is going to continue. <br /><br />We'll have to wait and see, I suppose.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-8096263367410938055?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-29100046126726864952009-07-31T09:17:00.001-04:002009-07-31T09:18:58.305-04:00So I was sitting around last night thinking about random wrestling related things when it hit me. In the past two months (June and July) every single championship in both WWE and TNA changed hands. Some of them multiple times. <br /><br />Batista won the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules, but would vacate the title days later due to injury. Randy Orton would then claim the belt on the following Raw.<br /><br />Jeff Hardy won the World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules. He promptly dropped the title to Mr. Money in the Bank himself, CM Punk. In July, at Night of Champions, Jeff Hardy would regain the belt.<br /><br />Kurt Angle claimed the TNA Heavyweight title at Slammiversary.<br /><br />Tommy Dreamer picked up the ECW Championship at Extreme Rules in June, and Christian regained the title from him at Night of Champions in July.<br /><br />Kofi Kingston claimed the United States Championship on June 1st on Raw.<br /><br />Kevin Nash won the TNA Legends Championship at Victory Road. On last night's Impact, he lost the belt to Mick Foley.<br /><br />Chris Jericho won the Intercontinental Championship for the 9th time at Extreme Rules. Rey Mysterio would take the title back from him at The Bash.<br /><br />Beer Money Inc. took back the TNA Tag Team Championship at Slammiversary but came up short at Victory Road, and Scott Steiner and Booker T are the new champions. <br /><br />Chris Jericho and Edge ended the Primo and Carlito's Unified Tag Team Championship reign at The Bash. At Night of Champions, Big Show became the official replacement for the injured Edge.<br /><br />Homicide claimed the X Division title from Suicide on an episode of Impact on June 26th (aired July 16th).<br /><br />Tara (formerly Victoria) won the Knockouts belt on Impact, but quickly dropped the gold back to Angelina Love at July's Victory Road.<br /><br />Mickie James won the Divas Championship from longtime champion Maryse at Night of Champions.<br /><br />Michelle McCool picked up the Women's Championship from Melina at The Bash.<br /><br /><br />I can only imagine that all these title changes are intended to boost ratings and pay-per-view buys. I suppose people are going to be more likely to order a show if they think that the belts could very well change hands but if they keep going doing this at the rate they are, these changes are going to lose all their meaning and impacts. Some moderation would be wise.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-2910004612672686495?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-17463287468762194472009-07-30T14:46:00.003-04:002009-07-30T14:54:00.055-04:00<strong>From WWE.com:</strong> World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstar Brian Kendrick as of today, July 30, 2009. WWE wishes Brian the best in all future endeavors.<br /><br /><br />Anyone else getting tired of this? I'm sick of talented and promising superstars getting released for no apparent good reason. Why release Kendrick? Was he untalented? No, he was a skilled high flier and a sound ring technician. Was he boring? No, he is loaded with charisma. Was he not connecting with the crowds? Again, not the case, he was gaining crowd heat despite being treated as a complete joke.<br /><br />I find it even more frustrating that this comes just days after Chris Masters makes his triumphant return to Monday Night Raw. In the past, Masters has proven to be a mediocre worker, uncharismatic, and it took almost an entire year of pushing him down our throats before he got over, drawing cricket chirps from the live crowds before that.<br /><br />This isn't a fair trade.<br /><br />I like to take comfort seeing the continued push of CM Punk, as he was someone who I feared would be getting the treatment Kendrick has received. Instead, Punk was allowed to keep his identity and is a two time World Champion. Punk hasn't achieved anything that Kendrick couldn't have had Kendrick been given the same opportunities. Likewise, in the last year we've seen Evan Bourne become a strong fan favorite, but at the same time I shake my fist that Paul London was never allowed to do what Bourne does.<br /><br />And don't get me started on Scotty "Colt Cabana" Goldman. If WWE is completely uncapable of making stars out of London, Kendrick, and Goldman, yet insist on trying repeatedly with hacks like Masters, Vladimir Kozlov, and many others, then they shouldn't be surprised in a few years when the well of young superstars dries up.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-1746328746876219447?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-61451972970736471372009-07-30T12:39:00.001-04:002009-07-30T12:41:27.405-04:00-Cena talks about his debut match in WWE against Kurt Angle. Cena says he started hot but was soon finding himself working up on Velocity. He tries to live without regrets, but if he could go back and change his debut, he wouldn’t have sported the goofy haircut.<br /><br />-Kurt Angle was running his mouth in the ring when the no-name John Cena came down to face him. Angle demands to know what quality Cena possesses that makes him think he can face the best. “Ruthless aggression” is the answer and Cena catches Angle off guard with a lariat.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kurt Angle vs. John Cena</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Smackdown - June 27th 2002</span><br />Cena totally overwhelms Angle in the early going, knocking him all over the ring and the floor. Early cover by Cena gets 2.5. Angle hooks the leg and goes for the ankle, but it’s countered! German suplex by Angle! Cena is winded and suffers a second German. Cena counters a third suplex and gets a near fall. Angle pounds Cena into the corner. Angle is unable to get the cover and applies a front headlock. Cena fights to his feet and drops Angle hard. Cena blocks some shots and unloads with a forearm. Spinebuster by Cena gets 2.9999! Angle rakes the eyes but the Angle Slam is countered with a DDT! Series of close covers by Cena. The close falls are so close that the crowd is really starting to buy into this! Angle reverses and manages to pin Cena at 5:36. Fairly short, but Angle made Cena look like a million bucks in his debut! **½!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Winner: Kurt Angle</span><br /><br />-Cena offers Angle a handshake, but Angle just gives him a dirty look and makes his leave.<br /><br /><div><object width="480" height="348"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x3mqq8_john-cenas-wwe-debut_shortfilms&amp;related=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x3mqq8_john-cenas-wwe-debut_shortfilms&amp;related=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="348" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object><br /><b><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3mqq8_john-cenas-wwe-debut_shortfilms">John Cena&#039;s WWE debut</a></b><br /><i>Uploaded by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/Salerr">Salerr</a>. - <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/us/channel/shortfilms">Full seasons and entire episodes online.</a></i></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-6145197297073647137?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-90237700693038176102009-07-01T14:12:00.000-04:002009-07-01T14:13:26.280-04:00<strong>Matt Cage vs. Donny Franks<br />June 27th 2009</strong><br />Cage made an open challenge to the UWC locker room and Franks was man enough to accept. They s hake hands, with surprisingly no cheap shot. Cage mocks Franks’ attempt to get the crowd behind him and they lock up. Cage is aggressive, beating down the back. Back elbow by Cage and a clothesline! Cocky pin by Cage doesn’t work. Franks fights back, but Cage knocks him off his feet. Drop-kick by Cage gets 2. Chinlock by Cage! Big knee lift to the gut by Cage! Franks reverses a brain buster with a small package of sorts. Cage shakes it off and connects with some hard shots. Franks pokes the eyes and gets a close roll-up. Cage begs for mercy, but attacks the eyes! Cage dodges a quickened Franks and applies a crossface. Franks connects with some clotheslines and a back body drop. DDT by Franks gets 2.5. Press slam by Franks but Cage kicks out! Knee to the face by Franks and the X-Factor gets 2.9999! Cage thumbs the eyes and delivers an enziguri for 2.5! Cage blocks another X-Factor and delivers a roll-up for the win at 7:13! Hey, the rookie tried, but Cage was just too crafty. Good little showing from Franks and Cage looks like he’s ready for a bigger stage, **½.<br /><strong>Winner: Matt Cage</strong><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5T8bQuqMvEE&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5T8bQuqMvEE&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-9023770069303817610?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-87056688055198114292009-04-18T09:48:00.000-04:002009-04-18T09:50:04.730-04:00<strong>Matt Cage vs. Tank Roberts<br />Special Referee: Victor E. Doom<br />QCW Blood Feud Brawl <br />March 26th 2009</strong><br />Lock up with a clean break by Roberts. They lock up again with Roberts gaining a headlock. Cage goes for the hair, to which his other arch nemesis, Doom, breaks. Third lock up gets a break in the corner. The bald Cage claims his hair was pulled. The commentator reminds Cage that there’s no rule against pulling skin. Headlock by Roberts. Doom then applies a headlock of his own on Cage! But that’s not fair! Cage scurries to ringside to assess the situation. Cage returns and nails some uppercuts on Roberts. Roberts reverses a whip and nails a clothesline. Scoop slam by Roberts and a big splash gets 2. Side slam by Roberts gets another cover for 2. Cage rebounds, poking the eyes and pummeling Roberts into the corner. Hard whip and clothesline by Cage. Roll-up by Roberts but Cage rebounds with a clothesline. Doom yells at Cage for targeting the eyes. Cage chokes Roberts on the ropes. Swinging neckbreaker by Cage, but a slow 2 count from Doom. Reverse headlock by Cage. Roberts elbows out but Cage nails a drop kick for 1. Mounted shots in the turnbuckles by Cage, but it’s countered into an atomic drop. Roberts plants Cage hard for 2. Roberts catches Cage for a black hole slam but only gets 2 on the cover. Cage escapes the Lock n’ Load and nails an enziguri. Cover by Cage gets a slow 2.5. Cage blocks the finisher again and applies a crossface! Roberts manages a rope break. Cage argues with the referee, but Roberts misses a clothesline and knocks out Doom. Hard closed fist shots by Cage gets the slowest 2.5 count. Cage yells at Doom, but gets pushed into the Lock n’ Load. That’s enough for the win at 10:47. Cage was robbed, man. Solid, well rounded match up, I was genuinely into the story here. ***<br /><strong>Winner: Matt Cage</strong><br /><br /><br />SUPPORT INDY WRESTLING!<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UwNy4BMD15k&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UwNy4BMD15k&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-8705668805519811429?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-71548259114941388742009-04-16T23:00:00.000-04:002009-04-16T23:02:28.327-04:00<strong>GAW Central States Championship:<br />Matt Cage © vs. Zach Gowen<br />January 3rd 2008</strong><br />Cage is sure to take his sweet time getting to the ring, much to the annoyance of some rowdy individuals in the crowd. Cage has his hands full tonight, as he’ll be squaring off with the one legged wonder who beat the Big Show. Gowen takes even longer to get the ring, as he seems to be under the impression that fans like him (just kidding, they do). Cage makes out with his belt before the match begins, and who can blame him, his challenger used to pal around with Hulk Hogan! They lock up and Cage easily corners Gowen before mocking his challenger’s obvious handicap. Gowen threatens with a golf club, which Cage doesn’t seem to like one bit. They lock up again, this time Gowen corners and slaps Cage across the face. That douche! Cage regroups at ringside. Back to the ring, Cage gets caught in a side headlock takedown. Cage counters into a pinning predicament, but Gowen keeps the hold. Head scissors counter by Cage, and the match restarts to a loud “Gowen” chant. Gowen goes back to work on the head. Cage counters into a head scissors, I think he’s trying to make Gowen jealous. Gowen uses a head stand to escape and drop-kicks the head. Cage retreats to ringside and gets heckled by a fan in the front row. Cage returns and the match restarts, with Cage targeting the midsection. Gowen kicks him off and nails a missile drop-kick! Cover by Gowen gets 2! Cage takes a hike and eats a drop-kick on his way back in. Gowen takes a swig of water and throws the bottle violently at Cage. Back to the ring, Gowen whips himself onto Cage for a near fall, but Cage drops him neck first on the ropes. Enziguri by Cage gets 2! Cage has established control and is targeting the head and neck area with his attacks. Cage dances but misses an elbow drop. Cage tries again, but Gowen is too quick. Gowen retaliates by slapping and gets a small package for 2. Clothesline by Cage hits hard. Cage continues his assault at ringside. A fan is desperately trying to get his “Tiger Woods on welfare” insult over but no one is buying. Gotta love indy fans. Gowen sits Cage in a chair and wipes him out off the apron! Back to the ring, Gowen smashes the head but gets rammed into the corner. Cage charges with a head of steam into Gowen’s boot. Cage repeats his mistake and stumbles to the mat. Gowen attempts a moonsault, but Cage pushes the referee into the ropes to knock him off. Cover by Cage gets 2. Cage fetches a cane and fights with the referee over it, ultimately knocking the official down. Low blow by Gowen and a small package, but the ref is out! Gowen checks on the ref but Cage spears him out of his boot! Cover by Cage gets 2.9! FALSE FINISH! Cage is upset and decks the referee. Cage grabs the golf course and prepares to finish what Brock Lesnar started all those years ago. Unfortunately, one of Cage’s rivals runs in and powerbombs him. Gowen hits the moonsault and the intruder makes the ref count to three. Gowen appears to have won the belt at 15:55! I am extremely impressed by how much Cage has improved since the last time I reviewed one of his matches, he’s a much more well rounded performer and worked well with Gowen (who is also much more well rounded than I remembered him). Sadly for Gowen, an official reverses the decision due to outside interference, so Cage retains! ***<br /><strong>Winner by DQ and still GAW Central States Champion: Matt Cage</strong><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xrpcndI4KRQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xrpcndI4KRQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kzQq33cyMbc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kzQq33cyMbc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cs8tfObJaa8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cs8tfObJaa8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-7154825911494138874?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-26492927039922016222009-04-16T21:58:00.002-04:002009-04-16T22:02:21.151-04:00Just wanted to point out that I've been hearing some rather smarky chants on WWE programming that I used to only hear on ROH and other indy shows, and in early TNA events.<br /><br />Batista returned to Raw to "welcome back" chants. That's an odd sign of genuine respect that you don't see from the WWE fanbase very often. It's especially odd since it's Batista, who the majority of hardcore wrestling fans flat out dislike.<br /><br />I'm mad at myself for not remembering the specific match, but it was either the Hardy extreme rules match or the Money in the Bank ladder match at Wrestlemania, but I have heard the "This is awesome!" chant pop up. I find that amusing because I can remember an era on wrestling forums where people would look down on that chant as some sort of indy fan version of masterbation. <br /><br />Go back and watch Unforgiven 2008. For a few minutes during the Smackdown scramble match, The Brian Kendrick was the WWE Champion. During those few minutes, CM Punk was still the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. For such a brief moment, two former indy standouts were the top two champions in North America. Sure, Punk had to vacate the belt later that night and Kendrick's title win wasn't official, since it was in the midst of the scramble match, but that still counts for something, right?<br /><br />Just some random thoughts.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-2649292703992201622?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-43285453637270907612009-03-19T17:28:00.001-04:002009-03-19T17:30:21.557-04:00<strong>Heroes of Wrestling<br />October 10th 1999</strong><br /><br />What’s worse than getting anthrax in the mail? How about receiving this show? Seriously, if I mysteriously die any time within the next month, regardless of what you hear on the news, it was a suicide as a result of watching this show. I hate sunshine, babies, and song birds. Life is dead to me now.<br /><br />Are you ready for an explosive night of wrestling? Our hosts are! Dutch Mantel and Randy Rosenbloom are on commentary. 2,000 unwitting fans are in attendance. They run down tonight’s card, and seem optimistic that they will be quality. The show is being held in some shit-hole casino in Mississippi.<br /><br />The ring announcer says someone is getting their aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaass whipped tonight. I hate him already.<br /><br /><strong>The Samoan Swat Team (with Paul Adams) vs. Marty Jannetty and “Fantastic” Tommy Rogers</strong><br />The entrance music is horrible generic 80’s style fluff. Before the match, Adams cuts a promo putting Heroes of Wrestling over as his venue to announce himself to the wrestling world. That worked out well. He rambles on for a bit, I fell asleep and missed most of it. <br /><br />Samu and Jannetty start the match off. Samu goes directly to stalling. This is going to be a long show. Jannetty plays to the crowd in an attempt for face heat, and gets some hillbilly support. They lock up and Samu shoves Jannetty off. They repeat the spot. More stalling and some obnoxious clapping by Jannetty. Way to suck the fans into this. They tie up again, and Samu corners Jannetty. Jannetty fires his way out of the corner and cleans house on Samu. Rogers runs into the ring and somehow this constitutes as a tag. Both Samoans take a walk. After another stalling session, Jannetty remains the legal man after all. He takes this opportunity to stall just a bit more. The lock up and Jannetty forces Samu to accidentally hit his own partner. Arm drag by Jannetty and a tag to Rogers. The Samoans make a tag. I’m not sure what to call the other Samoan, as he is being referred to as “Fatu” but doesn’t look like him. I’ll be a sport and call him Fatu just the same. Fatu wants a test of strength, and Rogers is dumb enough to fall for it. Rogers catches Fatu by the leg and kicks him inside the thigh. Rogers and Jannetty double team Fatu, as Jannetty tags in. Snapmare by Jannetty into the first sleeper of the night. Fatu fights out, but gets splashed to the mat for a cover attempt. Fatu kicks out and heads to ringside to stall, and Rosenbloom actually uses the phrase “working the crowd.” The bastard just broke kayfabe! Match restarts, but Samu kicks Jannetty in the back from the apron, allowing Fatu to take control. Samu tags in and hits a nice chop and an Irish whip with authority. Referee is distracted by Rogers, but turns around too early and sees Fatu hitting Jannetty with a chair. No disqualification though, but it is alright because Jannetty fights the Samoans off himself. Back in the ring, Jannetty narrowly dodges a splash and tags in Rogers. Rogers cleans house on both Samoans. The Samoans end up hitting a double head butt on Rogers, who shakes it off and hits a double DDT. Jannetty comes back with a double bull dog, and Rogers and Jannetty hit a double drop kick. Double your pleasure, double your fun. The chaos ends with Samu hitting a TKO on Rogers and pinning him at 9:58. Jannetty and Rogers gave it a respectable shot, but this match had a lot of problems going for it, with the stalling, poor referee work, and overall sloppiness, ¼*.<br /><strong>Winners: The Samoan Swat Team</strong><br /><br />A Heroes of Wrestling website is plugged, reminding fans to pick up their own Heroes of Wrestling t-shirt! <br /><br />Sherri Martel is backstage, conducting business with George “The Animal” Steele. Steele undresses Martel a tad, which doesn’t do her any favors. This leads to an interview with Martel, where she puts him over as insane. Steele interrupts and drags Martel to the arena. <br /><br /><strong>Greg “The Hammer” Valentine vs. George “The Animal” Steele (with Sherri Martel)</strong><br />Sweet lord baby Jesus, Valentine looks like hell. Valentine takes the microphone and demands a standing ovation. He puts himself over for being the son of Johnny Valentine. He demands that Steele lay down and die (that’s awful harsh) and plans on walking out with Sherri. Steele looks like hell also, but what else is new. <br /><br />Bell rings and Valentine immediately runs away to ringside. He “stalks” Sherri, who flees into the ring for protection from Steele. I can tell I am going to love this match just from this beginning. Valentine returns and they finally lock up. Steele latches to Valentine’s arm, and breaks. Steele is hungry and wants to munch on some turnbuckles. More stalling, and apparently Valentine’s arm hurts. Are they even going to wrestle? Steele doesn’t even look like he’s any shape to do anything remotely physical. Valentine finally shows some fire and floors Steele to work on the knee. Sherri then turns on Steele, choking him on the ropes. And they seemed so happy together. Valentine does some choking of his own and hits some elbow shots. Steele then insults me by removing his shirt, and seems unaware that Sherri has been attacking him. Steele has some sort of weapon and hits Valentine in the neck. He tosses whatever it was to Sherri, who hides it in her monstrous cleavage. Valentine gets some more shots in, but Steele regains control. Sherri hands the mystery weapon to Valentine. He drives it into Steele’s throat. The referee is clueless, and Valentine hides the weapon in his tights by the ass. I’m not kidding. The object falls out, and Sherri takes it. Steele gets some shots in. The object is back in Valentine’s possession, but Steele snatches it. Valentine escapes to ringside. Sherri then hits Steele with a chair while the ref was watching Valentine. Valentine rushes into a cover and wins the match at 6:32. Dreadful match, just barely earns a DUD.<br /><strong>Winner: Greg Valentine</strong><br /><br />After the match, Steele throws Sherri over the ropes. He chases both Sherri and Valentine out of the arena. Steele throws some chairs into the ring, though I can’t imagine what he intends to do with them. Steele does the only thing he can do in times like these and rips apart a turnbuckle. Valentine foolishly comes back and gets a cheap shot in before being chased out again. This is all very depressing.<br /><br />Backstage, Julio Fantastico is ready for an inaudible interview. The sound kicks in and Julio is trying really hard to be a cocky upstart ass. Whatever happened to Julio Dinero anyway? After the angle with CM Punk and Raven fell to shit in TNA, he just sort of fell off the face of the planet.<br /><br /><strong>Too Cold Scorpio vs. Julio Fantastico</strong><br />Hey, this match has the potential to not suck. I’ll just cross my fingers and pray. Captain Lou Albano makes his way to the commentator’s booth for the match. Julio and Scorpio lock up and break in the corner. They lock up again and actually perform a bit of chain wrestling. They exchange hammerlocks. Arm drag by Julio and a drop kick, but Scorpio catches him in an armbar. Julio escapes into the ropes, and Scorpio bounces around due to his own momentum. The fun ends with an armlock by Scorpio. Julio reverses and the match restarts. They tie up and Julio hits a shoulder block. Another tie up leads to a Scorpio headlock. Shoulder block by Scorpio, soon followed by a drop kick. Scorpio dumps Julio to ringside with a spinning heel kick. Scorpio slingshots himself over the ropes onto Julio, hitting the steel barricade in the process. I have to admire Scorpio for busting ass on a show like this. Scorpio directs Julio back to the ring for some chops. Julio flips Scorpio onto the apron and hits him to the floor. Julio awkwardly flips himself over the ropes onto Scorpio and skins the cat back into the ring. Julio slingshots himself over the ropes onto Scorpio. That entire spot just looked ugly. Scorpio then back body drops Julio over the barricade onto the concrete floor. They disappear into the crowd for a few seconds until Scorpio directs Julio back to the ring. Julio botches a blind low blow, which takes talent. Weird suplex by Julio into a cover. Nice elbow drop by Julio for another cover. Drop kick by Julio and a clothesline to the floor. They chase each other around for a bit, sliding in and out of the ring, and finally exchange shots by the apron. Scorpio slingshots himself onto Julio for a cover attempt. Scoop slam by Scorpio, who signals some high risk moves. Scorpio goes up top, but Julio shoves the referee into the ropes. Julio hits a face buster on Scorpio off the turnbuckle, but Scorpio kicks out. “Hey, this turned out to be pretty good” says the clueless Rosenbloom. Scorpio hits another scoop slam and hits a somersault leg drop and just to show off hits a corkscrew leg drop to pin Julio at 9:35. Not a bad little performance by Scorpio, but Julio couldn’t wrestle a match without botching half his spots if his life depended on it, *.<br /><strong>Winner: Too Cold Scorpio</strong><br /><br />Captain Lou Albano is announced to be the new commissioner of Heroes of Wrestling, something he appears to be proud of. Albano seems to be under the impression that there will be more pay-per-views like this. They must have thought there was a demand for a wrestling amongst botched brain surgery patients or something.<br /><br />Backstage, King Kong Bundy lumbers his way into an interview. He’s going to tell us something. Bundy rambles on about how much peril Yokozuna is in tonight. <br /><br /><strong>Nikolai Volkoff and Iron Sheik vs. Luke and Butch</strong><br />Sheik looks like a pot bellied pig, and about as threatening. Sheik can barely get into the ring, and we expect him to wrestle? Volkoff doesn’t look too bad, just really old, but I’ll reserve judgment until he takes his shirt off. Volkoff sings for us! This show has just been redeemed! I’m just kidding, nothing can save this. Volkoff stops on his own, he didn’t need the Wackers to stop him. Sheik takes the microphone and rants about USA stuff. Sheik does a little trick with some weights, supposedly putting himself over in the process. Luke and Butch finally come out so we can have a match. If these guys sucked when they were in their prime, what can I expect from them in 1999?<br /><br />The heels jump the Wackers to kick the match off. Volkoff actually does look to be in decent shape, good for him. I’m not even going to try and tell the Wackers apart, but one of them is bitten by Volkoff. Luke and Butch hit a double clothesline on Volkoff, and keep Sheik from getting involved. They dance around a bit, which never fails to be really fucking annoying. Sheik and Volkoff hang out at ringside, disgusted by how bad their match is going. Sheik threatens to leave if he keeps hearing “USA” chants. You’ll never believe it, but the fans keep it up. They are almost counted out, but suck in their pride and return to face the New Zealand sheep fornicators. Volkoff takes control with his old man offense. Volkoff and Sheik double team with some of the weakest stomps ever. Butch tries to make the save, but the referee taps him out of it. Meanwhile, Luke has one of the worst headlocks ever applied by Volkoff. Sheik tags in and if he eats one more piece of cake, his stomach will explode. Fans are chanting “Russia sucks” just to remind us that this is Mississippi. Sheik doesn’t really do anything and tags Volkoff back in. Irish whip with authority by Volkoff. Volkoff goes for a power slam but almost drops him. He falls over with the least impactful slam in wrestling history. Seriously, the finger poke of doom probably hurt more. Sheik tags in and delivers the camel clutch, only crappier. Volkoff misses a leg drop, and lands awkwardly. Butch tags in and “cleans house” on the heels. He shoves their heads together, but they even manage to botch that. Double Irish whip by the Wackers doesn’t work either. Volkoff has another mysterious former object and accidentally hits Sheik with it, and is covered by Butch for the win at around the nine minute mark. Easily one of the worst matches I’ve ever seen, as I think these four men managed to botch EVERYTHING! -***1/2. This would have been a prime contender for worst match of the year, but I have a sinking feeling this won’t even be the worst match of the show.<br /><strong>Winners: Luke and Butch</strong><br /><br />We see footage of Tully Blanchard arriving by limousine. Before he can even get to his luggage, Stan Lane jumps him. That Lane is a real vicious bad guy, eh? Now that just was not called for! <br /><br />We see footage of Blanchard cutting a promo talking about how he came here to have fun and have a “good” match with Lane. He’s basically unhappy that he was blindsided by Lane, and doesn’t feel that a low profile guy like him deserves this. He claims that Stan Lane only became a champion because he was Bobby Eaton’s partner. Blanchard puts himself over as being a former Horse Man. Blanchard gets angry and rants. This interview is far more entertaining than anything previous to it on this dreck.<br /><br /><strong>Tully Blanchard vs. “Sweet” Stan Lane</strong><br />Lane takes the microphone before the match and cuts a dick-ish heel promo. Lane was not satisfied with the introduction he got, so he does his own intro, followed by insults towards Blanchard. Blanchard charges into the ring and chases Lane out. Great, I was in the mood for more stalling. Blanchard chases Lane around the ring and back into it only to allow Lane to get the advantage with an elbow drop. Blanchard fights back with some kicks, a hip toss, and a drop kick. They brawl at ringside. Lane hits an atomic drop, and Blanchard falls into the ring post. Lane clubs Blanchard on the apron. Swinging neckbreaker by Lane, into a near fall. About three fans are chanting “Horsemen suck” proving their mark suckitude. Lane keeps control and body slams Blanchard onto the ropes. Lane drops a leg on Blanchard’s back. The announcers are under the impression that the women in the crowd are attracted to Lane, which almost makes me spit my drink onto the monitor. Blanchard tries to mount a comeback, pulling Lane by the tights through the ropes. Irish whip by Blanchard sends Lane into the steel barricade. Blanchard applies a figure four on Lane on the outside. Lane escapes back into the ring but gets caught in a sleeper. Lane escapes and signals the power bomb. Blanchard counters into a back drop. Back suplex by Lane into a near fall. But the bell rings, suggesting Lane won. The referee waves it off, the match continues. I can’t tell if that was a mistake or not, but it sucks either way. Blanchard hits a suplex, sending Lane to the floor to tease walking away. I guess the match is over at about seven minutes. The announcers think the crowd is getting their money’s worth tonight, which I have trouble believing was not sarcasm. Oh, the match was boring too, ½*.<br /><strong>Winner by count-out: Tully Blanchard</strong><br /><br />Backstage, we have another interview with no sound to start off. Jim Neidhart doesn’t want to have to go to a zoo tonight and rants about Jake Robert’s snake. King Kong Bundy adds some insightful commentary and they storm off. The interviewer must have found something funny with Bundy, because he had trouble maintaining his composure at the end.<br /><br /><strong>One Man Gang vs. Abdullah the Butcher (with Honest John)</strong><br />OMG throws some chairs into the ring during his entrance. I guess this is the “hardcore” special attraction of the night. We cut to an insane OMG interview, who screams about not showing mercy or something, I fell asleep and missed part of it. Abby comes out, and his manager is almost as fat as he is, which is saying something. <br /><br />OMG jumps Abby as he is getting his fat ass into the ring, calling for the bell. Abby pushes him off, but OMG already has a chain in hand and is striking Abby with it. OMG wraps the chain around Abby’s face and pulls on it before going back to striking. Abby is already busted open, that didn’t take long. OMG chokes some more and pulls Abby to ringside. Chair shot by OMG. OMG lightly pushes Abby’s head into the ring post. Abby tries to get back into the ring, and since he moves so slowly he makes a perfect target for some kicks to the head. OMG takes the chain again and continues the assault. OMG chokes with a chair. The announcers think OMG is risking a disqualification. REALLY? In a hardcore match? Damn, this show sucks. OMG continues to focus on Abby’s bloody forehead. Abby finally blocks a shot and jabs the throat. Abby takes the fork and proceeds to carve OMG’s head. The referee puts an end to it. I hate this show. Abby continues to carve with the fork despite the referee’s protesting and counting. OMG is bleeding heavily now, which is far more gruesome than what I was expecting on this show. Abby hits some weak chair shots. Abby hits another fork shot and tosses it to a lucky fan in the crowd. Abby drops an elbow. OMG stumbles to ringside and bleeds on some front row fans. They brawl at ringside. Amazingly, the referee calls for the bell, I assume disqualifying both guys at 7:30. This show just sunk to a new level of suck, DUD.<br /><strong>No contest.</strong><br /><br />Abby and OMG continue their brawl, with such notable incidents such as Abby thrusting OMG’s bloody head into a fans shirt. These people sure did get their money’s worth tonight.<br /><br />Backstage, Jimmy Snuka and Captain Lou Albano are hanging out. Albano is still proud to be the commissioner, I guess he missed the last few matches. Snuka is facing Cowboy Bob Orton tonight, who is a liar, according to Albano. Snuka just stands there looking frail. <br /><br />We get a response from Bob Orton, father of Randy. Orton denies his reputation as a cheater, and threatens to slap Albano if he gets involved. Pretty typical stuff here.<br /><br /><strong>“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka (with Captain Lou Albano) vs. “Cowboy” Bob Orton</strong><br />The bell rings and they actually tease wrestling instead of stalling. They tie up and Snuka corners Orton. Chops and knee thrusts by Snuka. Orton whips Snuka into the opposite corner, but Snuka bounces off into a crossbody. Orton fails at clotheslining Snuka over the ropes. Orton hits an elbow shot on Snuka, knocking him off the apron. Orton pulls Snuka back up the apron for a suplex, hitting it. This has been surprisingly competent thus far. Power slam by Orton. Falling splash by Orton for a near fall. “Superfly” chants from the crowd, which Orton mocks by orchestrating his fingers, which is actually pretty amusing. Orton slams Snuka again for another near fall. Orton works the arm, taking the time to talk smack to Albano. Snuka looks to the crowd for inspiration to fight out of the rest hold. It doesn’t work, and the rest hold continues far longer than any rest hold spot should. I see where Randy gets his tricks. “Bob, you suck” chants from the crowd. You know, the fans just had to make sure the heel knew he was the one who sucked. Otherwise, one might be confused, I don’t know, I’m just rambling because this rest hold has killed the match. Orton breaks the hold and stomps on the back of Snuka’s head. Orton goes back to the rest hold. The crowd is now chanting “Bob is a faggot.” That’s classy. Orton breaks the hold to address the fans, giving Snuka a chance to recover. Irish whip by Orton is countered by a head butt from Snuka. Snuka “snukes up” and fires away with strikes and sends Orton charging into the turnbuckle. Orton lands on top and suffers a kick to the gut. Snuka hits a rather nice chop, but Orton fights back and pushes Snuka down for a cover. Snuka pops out at the last second. That would have been anticlimactic. Snuka gets up first and goes high risk, but Orton cuts him off. Orton climbs up and attempts a superplex, but Albano gets involved by holding Snuka’s ankle, causing Orton to fall back by himself. HE CHEATED WHEN HE SAID HE WOULDN’T! Orton goes after Lou, and unwittingly walks into the crossbody by Snuka, who gets the cover and the win at 11:46. This was a lot more enjoyable than most of this show, but the heat segment dragged this down quite a bit, ¾*.<br /><strong>Winner: Jimmy Snuka</strong><br /><br />Orton argues with the referee after the match, as the crowd resumes the “Bob’s a faggot” chant. Those idiot fans deserve this shitty show if that’s all they’ve got.<br /><br />Backstage, a shaky looking Jake Roberts is ready for an interview. Roberts says that Neidhart doesn’t want to play cards with him because he’ll chant. Roberts lists all the games he cheats at, so don’t gamble with him. Roberts doesn’t accept losing, which apparently doesn’t apply to his dignity. Roberts then goes on a drunken rant about Damien and his DDT.<br /><br /><strong>Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart vs. Jake “The Snake” Roberts</strong><br />The crowd is super happy to see Roberts, I almost feel sorry for them. Jake leaves Damien in the ring and then leaves the arena for some reason. He comes back shirtless and jogging. The announcers credit this to Jake’s psychological strategy, but I’d put money on him having to vomit a little. Jake approaches a female fan and drapes her hands over his saggy man boobs. That must have been thrilling for her. <br /><br />Jake gets to the ring and the match finally begins. Jake stalls to play to “We want the snake” chants. These fans are insufferable. Neidhart leaves the ring and pouts at ringside. This match is not endearing to my good side thus far. Stalling is fine and all, but when 90% of the matches utilize it, then it becomes a problem. They finally tie up in the ring, with Roberts hitting an ugly arm drag. They tie up again, with Neidhart cornering Roberts. They have a clean break, but Roberts realizes he was standing on Damien, which seems to be upsetting him. They tie up again, and Neidhart slugs Roberts into a corner. Neidhart works the arm, but Roberts eventually reverses into a hammerlock. Roberts goes for the DDT, but Neidhart escapes. Meanwhile, Damien is sticking his head out of the bag, which is far more interesting than the match itself. Jake brings Damien out and pretends that Damien is his penis as the announcer states “look at the size of that thing!” This is truly horrible. Neidhart flees the ring, as Roberts proceeds to lick Damien. Since they were almost out of time, King Kong Bundy comes out early. He talks to Neidhart, and apparently has joined the match. <br /><br />The distraction allows Neidhart to jump Roberts and trap him in a headlock. Roberts fights to his feet, but Neidhart keeps the hold. Roberts shoulder thrusts Neidhart in the corner and mounts a comeback. Roberts goes for the DDT, but hits a clothesline instead. Bundy is on the apron now, talking smack. Roberts attacks Bundy, allowing Neidhart to make the attack and go back to the headlock. Bundy seems to be officially in the match now, as he stomps away on Roberts. This brings out Yokozuna, who doesn’t look like he’s in any shape to walk, let alone wrestle. Sadly, Yokozuna would pass away only about a year later. Everything about this match is depressing to me. This is apparently a tag team match now, as Yokozuna attacks Bundy, and gets jumped by Neidhart as a result. The announcer makes the tag match format official. Hurray for the fans. Yokozuna fights off Neidhart and Bundy as Roberts looks about ready to pass out at ringside. Some bald guy comes out and gives advice to Bundy and Neidhart. The match seems to restart, as Neidhart drags a dazed Roberts to the apron to bite him. Meanwhile, Yokozuna and Bundy are lumbering around, doing pretty much nothing. Neidhart rams some chairs on Roberts, with no disqualifications. The rules really couldn’t be any more vague, could they? Bundy joins the fray with a chair shot of his own. Roberts botches being thrown back into the ring, and is the target of some choking from Neidhart. Even the anonymous bald guy joins the choking fest, which the referee doesn’t seem to mind. The “former Yokozuna” stands by on the apron watching Bundy and Neidhart double team Roberts, who is now the drunken face in peril. Roberts finally hits some shoulder thrusts without even standing up, and gets the tag to Yokozuna. Yokozuna fires away on Neidhart, and is way too large for comfort. While this was going on, Bundy randomly splashes and pins Roberts, who wasn’t even the legal man at 16:49. I’d complain about the finish, excep that it was probably the least of the problems with his match. Wow… just wow. Every aspect of this match is horrible. From the vague rule definitions, to the disturbing behavior from Roberts, and the shit-ass wrestling, this sucks by every definition of the term. -*****, and I mean that sincerely.<br /><strong>Winners (though let's face it, this match had no winners): King Kong Bundy and Jim Neidhart</strong><br /><br />Afterwards, Yokozuna beats up the anonymous bald guy, who the announcers have dubbed “Little Bundy.” Roberts dumps Damien on Little Bundy, and the camera fades to black. <br /><br /><strong>Final Thoughts: </strong>You know, I have to give credit where credit is due and say that while this show was awful, heading into this I was expecting to be dishing out way more negative star ratings than I ended up. But when your match of the night tops out at a whopping one star, you know you’re in trouble. Believe the hype, Heroes of Wrestling is every bit as terrible and mind numbing as you would expect. The main event is officially the worst match I have ever seen in any promotion ever. It is disgusting and terrible in every way that Bret vs. Owen was wonderful and glorious. The worst part about Heroes of Wrestling is that it is terrible in a depressing fashion, not even in the “so bad it’s funny” category. Even Randy "The Ram" wouldn't have wanted anything to do with this event.<br /><br />So the moral of the story is, if you ever open up your mail and see that someone has sent you Heroes of Wrestling, don’t watch it. Grab a shovel and bury it as soon as possible and just hope that a poltergeist doesn’t settle in.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-4328545363727090761?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SamoaRowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11222570604508462508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198194320492550121.post-44193597788438053622009-03-19T17:21:00.004-04:002009-03-19T17:27:14.735-04:00<strong>ECW December to Dismember<br />December 3rd 2006</strong><br /><br />I was going to pass this one up, but seeing as it was free on Youtube, I figured I could stomach this. I sure do feel sorry for the fans in attendance. <br /><br />I’m going to steal Scott Keith's “Hot poker up the ass” system for this show, with the proud recipient being Vince McMahon, for not letting Heyman control this brand.<br /><br />Our hosts for the evening are Joey Styles and Tazz. Styles slips that a new champion will be crowned in the first ever “extreme” elimination chamber match. The Spanish announcers made the trip to this event too! This is truly the big time!<br /><br />Oh, and I think 15 hot pokers are in order for making the theme song to this show the same song that opens every episode of ECW. They couldn't be bothered to pay for royalties other than "Bodies" by Drowning Pool.<br /><br /><strong>MNM vs. The Hardy Boyz</strong><br />That’s right, the show is being kicked off with Raw and Smackdown stars. I’d say one fiery poker up the ass for that fact alone. At least this match stands a chance of being good. Oh, this is also the first of two previously announced matches for the event, so another four hot pokers up Vince’s ass for that genius strategy.<br /><br />The bell rings, and Tazz is checking out Melina. After a few seconds Mercury ties up with Matt. Matt drags Mercury into a side headlock, Mercury tries to pick up the pace, but Matt gets the hold back. It breaks and Matt reverses a hip toss and they go into a stalemate. Jeff and Nitro enter the ring, threatening a brawl, but the referee keeps control. The match restarts, and Mercury wrenches the arm of Matt Hardy. Matt reverses and shoves him into the turnbuckle. Tag is made to Jeff, who continues to work on Mercury’s arm. Matt tags in goes for the hammerlock. Mercury tags in Nitro, who runs into a hip toss. Matt works Nitro’s arm over too, and tags in Jeff, who drop kicks his way into Nitro and gets a near fall. Matt tags in and the Hardys double team Nitro and an invading Mercury. Jeff tags in, but Nitro counters a jaw breaker. Nitro tags in Mercury for a double team, and a near fall. Nitro tags in and hits a neck breaker. Nitro has been earning some big heat from the crowd all night. Matt comes back and quickens the pace. Nitro gets a shot and climbs the turnbuckle, but Matt catches him and hits a cool sit-out power bomb. Melina grabs Matt’s leg to stop his momentum, so Matt chases after her, running into a trap by Mercury. <br /><br />Thanks to the trap, MNM is in clear control of Matt, hitting a double team gut buster. MNM makes frequent tags, and double team Matt at every opportunity. Matt refuses to stay down for near falls. This match has become so formulaic and basic, I don’t even want to do play by play for it anymore. Nitro takes a moment to knock Jeff off the apron, giving him and Mercury time for some double teams. Jeff tries to enter, but that is apparently not allowed by Mr. Referee. The match is so boring now that Tazz is reminiscing about his Smackdown days. Seriously. Back in the match, Matt reverses a double suplex into a double neck breaker. Matt nearly makes the tag, but MNM knocks Jeff down again. MNM copy the Hardy’s poetry in motion, while Melina screams in celebration. Mercury tries to steal the twist of fate, but Matt shoves him into Nitro, who was on the turnbuckle. Jeff is finally tagged in and cleans house. Jeff gets a close fall on Mercury, but Nitro ruins it. MNM tries to double team, but Matt clotheslines Mercury to the floor and springboards onto him. This sparks an “ECW” chant. Nitro then leaps over the ropes onto both of them. Jeff finishes the set with a crossbody off the turnbuckle onto MNM. The crowd is desperate for some fun and give this a “holy shit” chant. <br /><br />Back in the ring, the Hardys hit the poetry in motion, twist of fate, but miss on Jeff’s Swanton bomb. Nitro springboards into a missile drop kick onto Jeff, as Matt and Mercury are both back on the floor. Nitro goes to work on Jeff’s lower back, capitalizing on the missed Swanton bomb. Mercury tags in and they double slingshot Jeff into the turnbuckle. Jeff is the new face in peril and suffers the inevitable surfboard stretch from Mercury. Jeff fights out, so MNM continue the tag and double team strategy. The crowd entertains themselves with a “she’s a crack whore” chant directed towards Melina. Jeff is planted onto the floor, and Melina gets some cheap shots in. MNM goes back to the frequent tags, and this match is dead. On the plus side, MNM’s offense looks good. Matt runs in and interrupts a cover attempt. Jeff tries to fight back with a sunset flip, but Nitro made a blind tag. Mercury goes for another rest hold. I guess they are stalling for time while the writers are out back throwing darts at names to decide what the rest of the card looks like. <br /><br />Nitro continues the attack on Jeff while Mercury pulls Matt off the apron. MNM tries to double sling shot Jeff into the turnbuckle again, which of course means that Jeff transitions this into the whisper of the wind. Matt is FINALLY tagged in and cleans house. Matt hits the side effect on both members of MNM and nearly pins Nitro. Matt hits the off the ropes leg drop, but Nitro kicks out! Jeff tags in and goes for a powerbomb off the ropes, but Mercury stops them and inventively flips Jeff onto the mat. I’m adding a ½* for that spot alone. Matt and Jeff set Mercury and Nitro up on opposite turnbuckles for superplexes. Jeff gets a cover, but Melina is on the apron for a distraction. Jeff angrily confronts her, and Nitro accidentally drop kicks Melina off the apron. Jeff gets a very close roll-up. MNM hit the snap shot on Jeff, and Matt just barely breaks up the following cover attempt. MNM plant Jeff on the turnbuckles and try to hit a super snap shot! Matt makes the save and hits a double neck breaker off the top! Jeff hits a Swanton on both members of MNM and finally gets the pinfall victory at 22:23! This match had some very inventive spots, but also some really dead and boring spots. I would say **1/2, but I have to factor in that ½* I promised, so **3/4. No hot pokers necessary here.<br /><strong>Winners: The Hardy Boyz</strong><br /><br />Backstage, Rob Van Dam cuts a promo putting over the extreme elimination chamber match. RVD knows he might not walk out of the match, but the risks are worth the prize: the ECW title. <br /><br /><strong>Matt Striker vs. Balls Mahoney</strong><br />Vince gets five hot pokers for booking Mahoney in a non extreme rules match on pay-per-view. Before the match, Striker takes the microphone and puts himself over to some surprisingly potent heat from the crowd. Striker announces that his opponent is Mahoney, which the crowd is pleased to hear. Striker then puts over the extreme elimination chamber match too. Striker feels like he owes it to the crowd to restore order in a violent society. Striker teases making the match extreme rules, but swerves it into being fought under extreme enforcement of the rules. That’s right, give the crowd something else to be angry about. No hot pokers, since this was one of the better Striker promos I have heard.<br /><br />Striker names his own rules for the match, including “no profanity.” Striker also has his own face on the back of his tights. That is extreme, man. Tazz and Styles have some good times making fun of this. Mahoney goes for Striker’s leg, but Striker gets a rope break. They tie up and Mahoney takes control after some running around. Mahoney gets an arm toss and locks his legs around Striker. Striker breaks free and hides in the ropes. They tease a tie up again, but Striker aggressively strikes Mahoney instead. Striker dodges a rampaging Mahoney, causing him to plummet shoulder first into the turnbuckle. Striker goes to work on the arm. A “Striker sucks” chant breaks out, while the arm attacks continue. Mahoney rolls Striker into a cover attempt, but Striker kicks out and goes back on the arm attack. The crowd threatens to turn on this match if things don’t pick up soon. Mahoney tries to mount a come back with some punches, and a side walk slam. Mahoney gets a near fall and goes high risk. Striker shakes the ropes, and Mahoney plummets to the mat. Striker rolls into an armbar. Mahoney almost taps, but gets into the ropes. Mahoney mounts another come back with his specialty punches and back body drop. The crowd is polite enough to chant around with the punches. Mahoney gets a sit-down power bomb for the victory at 7:22 after Striker teased a comeback! This match felt like a glorified Heat match, but Striker showed some good stuff with his vicious arm attacks, *1/4. <br /><strong>Winner: Balls Mahoney</strong><br /><br />Backstage, CM Punk is getting pumped up for the elimination chamber. He doesn’t say anything, just throwing punches. Three hot pokers for not playing to Punk’s strengths.<br /><br />Elsewhere, Sabu has been found pummeled. Paul Heyman takes him out of the main event. 20 hot pokers for waiting until after the show started before removing Sabu from the match, and another 20 hot pokers for replacing him with Hardcore Holly. The crowd chants “bullshit” and I couldn’t agree more.<br /><br /><strong>Sylvester Terkay and Elijah Burke vs. The FBI (with Trinity)</strong><br />Terkay was released almost immediately after this show. Burke takes the microphone before the match and puts himself over. Like a wild animal in heat, they will leave their mark on ECW. Two hot pokers for that stupid comment. The FBI make their entrance, and Tazz is drooling over Trinity now. <br /><br />Burke starts with Little Guido and they do a little chain wrestling. Little Guido steals Burke’s obnoxious hat and puts it on himself. Now that’s entertainment! Mamaluke tags in and goes for the side headlock. This transitions into some arm wrenching, and a tag to Guido. The FBI double teams Burke and Guido tries a cover. Burke manages to fight his way to Terkay and makes the tag. The FBI are more or less dead now, as Terkay is a manbearpig. Terkay methodically slugs away on Mamaluke, but misses a splash into the corner. Guido tags in and goes for a crossbody, but Terkay catches him. While holding Guido, he kicks Mamaluke with a big boot, and throws Guido at him over the ropes. This earns a “you still suck” chant. The tag is made to Burke, who gets an upper cut and then the reverse chin lock on Guido. Guido tries to fight back, and gets sent flying into Terkay’s corner. Guido quickly strikes at both men, but Terkay knocks him down. The crowd chants “FBI” as Guido suffers some double team shots. Burke hits a nice clothesline and a legsweep. Mamaluke interrupts a cover, but Burke goes for the headlock. Tag is made to Mamaluke, who hits a couple of drop kicks and a flying forearm. Terkay enters, and gets drop kicked by both FBI members into the knees. Burke suffers a double flap jack, and Mamaluke goes for the cover. Burke barely kicked out. Terkay pulls Guido out of the ring, meanwhile Burke drops Mamaluke into Terkay’s elbow and hits “The Elijah Express” for the win at 6:41. This was actually decent, as Burke and the FBI looked promising. Terkay was inoffensive, but this felt like another glorified Heat match, *1/2. Five hot pokers for the lack of extreme rules. <br /><strong>Winners: Sylvester Terkay and Elijah Burke</strong><br /><br />After the match, Terkay hits a muscle buster on Mamaluke as one fan chants “TNA.” <br /><br />Backstage, Sabu is being loaded into an ambulance. CM Punk and Rob Van Dam watch in concern. <br /><br /><strong>Daivari (with The Great Khali) vs. Tommy Dreamer</strong><br />Daivari continues the trend of the evening of having the heel cut a prematch promo. Daivari is speaking Arabic, which still makes more sense than Khali’s English. Five hot pokers simply for Khali’s mere presence. Dreamer makes his entrance, and he looks legitimately grumpy. I can’t say I blame him.<br /><br />The fans are chanting “extreme rules” and “ECW” but they are in for another disappointment. 10 hot pokers for continuing to upset this crowd. They tie up, and Daivari immediately takes control. Dreamer reverses and Irish whip, so Daivari escapes to ringside. Daivari sneaks back in and aggressively assaults Dreamer. Dreamer hits an arm drag, sending Daivari to ringside for another breather. Daivari charges, but Dreamer drop toe holds him to the mat. Daivari rakes the eyes and hits a drop kick. Dreamer falls to ringside and eats a baseball slide. Dreamer reverses an Irish whip and sends Daivari into the barricade. Khali helps Daivari up, so this thrilling bout can continue. Back in the ring, Dreamer hits a suplex and runs into the ropes, but Khali pulls the ropes, causing Dreamer to crash to the floor. The referee kicks Khali out of the arena. The match restarts with Daivari hitting some basic offense. The crowd is chanting “we want hardcore.” I can’t help but think the Vince interpreted that chant as the crowd wanting Bob Holly.<br /><br />Daivari has a headlock on Dreamer, because this match really needed a rest hold. Dreamer fights out, but that crafty Daivari continues with the generic offense and another rest hold. The crowd is chanting “fuck him up, Dreamer.” Daivari gets a sleeper in and the crowd is absolutely shitting on this now. They were patient up until now, I give them credit for that. 30 hot pokers just for the hell of it. Dreamer drops Daivari back to the mat, and both men are down. They trade shots while standing up, with Dreamer winning the exchange. Dreamer hits a back body drop and a scoop slam. Dreamer hits an inverted DDT and gets a close fall. Dreamer goes for the Dreamer Driver, but Daivari goes for the eyes and escapes. Daivari climbs up top, but Dreamer follows, only to get knocked down. Daivari misses a flying cross body. Dreamer places Daivari in the tree of woe and the crowd wakes up. Dreamer hits a drop kick to the head. Daivari almost immediately comes back with a roll up and pulls on the tights for the victory at 7:23! The crowd did not like that one single bit. 50 hot pokers for continuing to piss off an already angry crowd and DUD.<br /><strong>Winner: Daivari</strong><br /><br />After the match, Khali reemerges and hits the double Chokeslam on Dreamer right onto the stage. Something the WWE does not seem to realize is that if they wanted the new ECW to work, they needed to treat the ECW originals like stars, even if they weren’t in the larger scaled of the WWE. Treating Dreamer like a jobber only pisses off the old ECW fans and makes the new fans wonder why Dreamer was such a big deal in the first place. 50 more hot pokers for using Dreamer to put over Daivari and Khali, both of which would be shipped to the other brands soon after.<br /><br />We are treated to some hype for See No Evil. 50 hot pokers for using the brand that is supposed to be rebellious against all things WWE to promote a WWE movie.<br /><br />Backstage, Paul Heyman is wandering around. He finds Hardcore Holly and officially puts him into the main event as an attempt to do “what is best for ECW.” 15 hot pokers for making Heyman say such a crock of shit. The crowd is pissed off that Holly is in the main event. <br /><br /><strong>Mike Knox and Kelly Kelly vs. Kevin Thorn and Ariel</strong><br />Kelly takes the microphone before the match and wishes CM Punk good luck in the extreme elimination chamber. Knox is not pleased with this, and a great “CM Punk” chant breaks out. Thorn and Ariel have an awesome entrance, thought I’d mention that. I actually enjoy the entire vampirism gimmick, I just wish that they’d given Thorn a more bad-ass name. Imagine if in 1998, the Brood had consisted of David Fang, Adam Edge, and Christian Cage? Well, the last part kind of stuck, but sue me. <br /><br />Knox and Thorn kick the match off, while Tazz and Styles speculate about “bite clubs.” They tie up and shove each other off. Knox misses a clothesline and Thorn fires away with some shots. Thorn whips Knox into an elbow and stomps away at the back. Knox pulls Thorn by the hair and hits a great looking lariat clothesline. Knox angrily punches away at Thorn. This doesn’t last, as Thorn comes back with a clothesline. The crowd is dead, but at least they aren’t openly booing. Thorn beats Knox into the corner and is pulled off by the ref. This seemingly turned Ariel on. Knox comes back with a snapmare, but is unable to keep long term control. He does hit a big boot and gets a near fall. Knox goes for a sleeper, because we haven’t seen enough of those tonight. 15 hot pokers just for the boring nature of these matches. Thorn pushes Knox into his corner while trapped in the head lock and tags in Ariel. Knox reluctantly tags in Kelly. Ariel dominates Kelly right away. Kelly is totally inexperienced, so they are limited in what they can do. Ariel tries to cover by stomping, punching, and choking. Kelly tries to make the tag to Knox, but Ariel keeps up the attack. Kelly kicks Ariel off of her, but Knox decides he’d rather not make the tag and walks off. Ariel finishes Kelly with a legsweep for the victory at 7:43. This was horrible, but at least something significant happened, ¼*. Unfortunately, this match didn’t do any favors for any of the participants. <br /><strong>Winners: Kevin Thorn and Ariel</strong><br /><br />After the match, Ariel keeps attacking Kelly, but The Sandman makes an unscheduled appearance. 25 hot pokers for not booking Sandman in a match. The crowd is happy to see Sandman, who has a kendo stick in hand. Sandman unleashes his fury on Thorn, and the crowd comes alive at the sight of some actual violence! <br /><br />Backstage, Michael Cole is pimping Smackdown’s pay-per-view, Armageddon. 10 hot pokers for this blatant shilling, and for holding so many pay-per-views in such a short amount of time. And to think, the WWE actually are confused as to why the buyrates to all of those late 2006 shows were so pathetic.<br /><br />Backstage, some random diva is standing by with Bobby Lashley. They take a look back at Lashley’s match against the Big Show from a couple weeks ago. The match ended when Heyman orchestrated a beat down on Lashley, thanks to Test and Show. 15 hot pokers for giving Lashley mic time. Lashley doesn’t give a damn what Heyman throws at him, because nothing can stop him. He is one man with one mission, and that’s to be the ECW World Champion.<br /><br />That’s right, it is time for the main event after only about an hour and a half. 30 hot pokers for holding such a short pay-per-view, this was barely longer than one of those old TNA weekly shows.<br /><br /><strong>ECW World Championship:<br />Extreme Elimination Chamber</strong><br />Big Show © vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Bobby Lashley vs. CM Punk vs. Test<br />Rob Van Dam and Hardcore Holly are the first two in the match. RVD takes control with his trademark offense, until running into a clothesline. Holly tries to pin RVD in the early going. Holly kicks away, but RVD fires back with some punches. The action spills over the ropes into the steel area. RVD leaps off the ropes but misses Holly. RVD bounces off the cage but misses Holly again, landing in the ropes. Holly rams RVD head first into the cage, and the crowd is actually enjoying this. Holly slams RVD onto the steel and climbs the turnbuckle. RVD gets a boot to the face of an incoming Holly, in a seriously contrived spot. RVD then hits a rolling thunder over the ropes onto Holly on the steel. RVD should really participate in more of these matches. Holly reverses a suplex and drops RVD back into the ring. Holly goes for a cover, but RVD is still alive. Holly soon hits a big drop kick and goes for another cover. <br /><br />The first man out of the chamber is CM Punk, who immediately throws a chair at Holly and springboards off the ropes into RVD. Punk tosses the chair at RVD, who catches it and throws it right back at him. RVD then sloppily monkey flips Punk onto the chair. Punk then dodges some kicks from RVD and leg drops him onto the chair. Punk is in control of RVD, hitting some elbow shots and driving his head into a chair positioned in the ropes. Punk goes for a head scissors on Holly on the steel, but Holly catches him and swings him into the cage! Big “CM Punk” chant from the fans, as Holly dominates him. Holly plants Punk gut first on the ropes and kicks him in the head. Holly sets Punk up on the top rope and chops him. Holly hits a big superplex. RVD goes for the cover on Punk, who kicks out. That would have been really lame. Holly goes for a cover too, but Punk kicks out again. Punk reverses an Irish whip on Holly, and goes for a bull dog but gets kicked in the face by RVD. Test is the next man in the match.<br /><br />Test has a weapon and goes straight to rubbing it in RVD’s face. Test then chokes the life out of Punk. The weapon appears to be a cane. Test goes back to Punk, who surprises him with a stunner. RVD is meanwhile battling Holly, but takes a moment to hit Test with a chair. RVD then drop kicks the chair right onto CM Punk’s face! RVD goes top rope and hits the five star frog splash and eliminates CM Punk at 12:22. 15 hot pokers up the ass for making Punk the first elimination. Test big boots Holly and almost pins him. Actually, it counted as an elimination, even though Holly appeared to kick out. So, Holly is eliminated at 12:40. That was pointless, let’s give another 10 hot pokers to Vince’s ass. RVD climbs to the top and hits a flying kick on Test. RVD goes for the five star frog splash again, this time on top of Big Show’s chamber. Show grabs RVD through the ceiling, allowing Test to climb up and hit RVD with a chair. Test drops RVD to the mat and places the chair on top of him. Test climbs to the top of Show’s chamber and hits a HUGE flying elbow! That was awesome! Test then eliminates Rob Van Dam at 13:58, which is awful booking, 25 hot pokers for that. It would have been more, if Test’s elbow drop had not been awesome. The crowd is pissed off, and rightfully so. They eliminated Punk and RVD only so that they wouldn’t get more crowd support than Lashley, and if that was the case than 50 hot pokers for Lashley being in this match in the first place.<br /><br />Lashley joins the match, but Heyman’s cronies prevent the official from opening his chamber. Test taunts him from outside, so Lashley grabs the table in the chamber and uses it to break through the ceiling. Test climbs up to meet him, but gets kicked down. Lashley hits a flying clothesline off the turnbuckle. Lashley dominates Test, throwing him into the cage walls. The action spills back into the ring, where Test regains control, choking Lashley with his boot. Test takes a chair, but Lashley kicks it into his head. Lashley hits a series of clotheslines, as the crowd boos. Lashley connects with a snap suplex and dodges a chair shot. Lashley spears Test and eliminates him at 19:38. The crowd is not happy with how this match is turning out. There is still more than a minute before Big Show enters the ring, so he takes advice from a screaming Paul Heyman at ringside. Lashley prepares for Show by getting the table out of his chamber. The minute goes by really slowly, and Lashley throws a chair at Show’s chamber to try and keep things interesting.<br /><br />Big Show finally enters the match, and is yielding a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire. Show swings the bat, but Lashley blocks it with the chair. Show gets the bat stuck in the cage, allowing Lashley to get a chair shot in. Lashley rams Show’s head into the steel and poses to a great amount of jeers from the jaded fans. Lashley then whips Big Show into the bullet proof glass chamber, shattering it. Lashley violently pursues Show, who is bleeding now. Lashley is then tossed over the ropes into the ring. Show hits a clothesline and signals the Chokeslam. Lashley blocks the Chokeslam and hits a DDT. They trade shots until Show pushes Lashley into the corner. Lashley then runs into Show’s arms, but escapes a slam. Lashley hits a big spear for the win at 24:41 and becomes the ECW World Champion! This definitely gets a mixed reaction from the fans. I’m watching this with Spanish commentary on, so I’m sure I’m missing some awesome crowd chants, but oh well. 25 hot pokers for Lashley winning the ECW title about two weeks after joining the brand, an extra 30 hot pokers for eliminating RVD and Punk so quickly, and 50 pokers for making Big Show’s final pay-per-view match before retirement go down this way. Aside from the bad taste of the booking here, the match was pretty solid, had some great spots involving the chamber, and kept a good pace, **3/4.<br /><strong>Winner and new ECW World Champion: Bobby Lashley</strong><br /><br /><strong>Final Thoughts:</strong> Reviewing this show has given me a headache. This pay-per-view is a study in awfulness. It was like Vince and company wanted this show to fail in the worst way possible. From removing Sabu from the main event, to rubbing it in the fans faces that the midcard matches weren’t extreme rules, to eliminating RVD and Punk because they knew they would be favored over Lashley, to having the show just barely reach the two hour mark, I don’t even know how to begin to comprehend how anyone backstage at WWE thought this show was a good idea. If this wasn’t blatant sabotage, then Vince is really out of his mind. <br /><br />What is even more amazing is that Vince thinks the tactic of only announcing two matches beforehand was a good idea and that it will be used for other brand pay-per-views in the future. I really hope the abysmal buyrate of 90,000 snapped him out of that mindset. <br /><br />Finally, they had SIX MONTHS to build this show after One Night Stand. And what did they do with those six months? Did they develop meaningful feuds and push a strong midcard? No, they jobbed the ECW originals to guys who weren’t going to get over anyway, and had frequent guest stars from Raw and Smackdown to try and boost ratings. The few feuds they did have going (RVD vs. Show, Punk vs. Knox) were basically forgotten about. The devolution of ECW from One Night Stand to December to Dismember is remarkable and a study of how NOT to run a wrestling show.<br /><br /><em>Thumbs down about as far as possible.</em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6198194320492550121-4419359778843805362?l=samoarowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
