Pro Wrestling News and Notes From Net

Unforgiven is in the books and as far as PPV’s go it wasn’t that bad. Two new championships were crowned and I come within one second of my Hardy Boys sweep prediction. Another pointless Diva match in the aftermath of Gail Kim waffling between the two companies . And the biggest news to come out , Randy Orton, without a sling I might add, is gathering his troops , for what I haven’t figured out yet.

In a completely predictable Diva’s match, Michelle McCool bested Maryse to keep her Diva’s belt. let me get this straight , you want to increase interest in your women’s division , so you have two women that could pass for sisters wrestle each other . If the WWE is really serious about increasing interest in the diva or the women’s belt , they have to go against the Diva type. The blonde hair , the blue eyes , the fake boobs, they are all the same thing. The baby girl “ Anvil” is close and she is a well trained wrestler. But if Awesome Kong comes on the open market , she is the perfect anti Diva. She is so far removed from anyone on the WWE roster and if you change her look and let her talk on the mic you might have something . Let me float this out there , the former Awesome Kong, now known as MC Kong.

I want to pause for a minute , im watching raw while I write this and I really want to say something . Over the past few weeks , I have gained a very healthy respect for Jamie Noble. He takes a beating , he works backstage, he doesn’t mind helping put someone over. He’s a guy you need to find shit to do.

Back to the main topic, the tag team match pitting Priceless against Cryme Tyme was a very good tag team contest in a sea of no real tag teams. They both went after each other and it was a very good match but it was the ending that was interesting . A large Polynesian wrestler with even larger hair came out and helped Rhodes and Dibiase take care of Cryme Tyme . I’M guessing that the Colon “s will be next. The only problem with this faction idea is who are they going after. I get that their going to have Punk go up against Orton but what are the other guys going to do. They really need to flesh out this whole idea before they run it into the ground.

The swurve that Vicki put on the Undertaker was real good. The Big show has been selling the fact that he was left out of the scramble when the whole time he was working for GM. He really clubbed Taker and left him in a heap. I think this feud has legs and will play on TV.

In the land of extreme , there is a new champ in town. One half of team extreme realized a lifelong dream when he outlasted four of ECW “s best to take the ECW heavyweight championship. With all the new talent coming up, it will definitely be a good thing that guys like Hardy and Finlay on the show to help them get over. The show itself is getting better and with Hardy as the champ it can only make things that much better. The interesting part will be what they do with Mark Henry. I’m not sure leaving him on ECW is a good idea. Raw needs Heels badly , and sense he can play the ubber heel I think putting him on raw would be a good move in the long term.

And now we come to the WWE scramble. I know that Jeff Hardy has screwed up on more then one occasion but the fan reaction every time he hit’s the ramp is the best of anyone else , including CEO son in law. The fans love him and when all is said and done its about the fans . Its time for Jeff to hold a championship belt. he at times has risked his health, his standing in the company , and his very life to perform and he earned his run. HHH is on the record saying the shot is there when he wants it. Lets hope he really means it.

The whole thing with Jericho and HBK thing takes on new legs with Jericho sneaking in the backdoor to get the title . I don’t think that HBK has a title run in him right away but if he takes some time off and heals up he could restart it right around royal rumble time. Jericho has a match with Punk next week so that might indicate where they are going this week. Its also been announced that the first match signed for No Mercy is a woman’s title match with Candice Michelle goes up against Beth Phoenix.

Well that’s about it for know. Might have something by the end of the week.
