Big news , finally got my WWE universe page up and running and have linked up every thing from Myspace and Face book . Hope it will get me out there to a whole new group of fans. This whole thing has really gotten me through a rough patch in my life and I hope that it can lead me to someplace better.
It’s a little less then three hours from Raw and there are conflicting reports about tonight’s main events. Punk vs. Orton was made last week so its on but Rajah.com is on the one hand reporting that there is a triple threat match between Jericho, HBK, and Batista. Then in a later line ., they sat that HBK and Rey Mysterio teaming up against the Miz and Morrison . Well we will just have to see what’s what .on that front..I said to my self the day that Eddie died , that it took a tragic thing like that to finally get Sean and Rey to wrestle one another so I’m looking forward to seeing them as a team.
Matt Hardy has been visibly hobbled as of late with slight tear in the PCL ligament of his surgically repaired left knee. He hurt Tuesday in a match with number one contender for the ECW belt , fit Finlay . He toughed it out and kept the belt and worked a Smack Down match as well. Lets just hope he doesn’t push himself to hard. Both the Hardy’s have worked to hard to get derailed by injuries .
Speaking of Hardy, last weeks Smack Down featured brother Jeff in one of the best TV performances of his career. From the black light face paint to the extreme rules match he had that night with the Dead Man, the enigma that is Jeff Hardy pushed the Undertaker to the limit . Despite the Big Show’s interference , Jeff proved his point and when he proves it against HHH this Friday he’ll get one more shot at the title in a triple threat match with HHH and Koslov this Sunday at Survivor series.
Under the heading of Hogan Family nonsense, ex wife Linda Hogan is throwing a fit over the Hulkster selling over all of his trade marks to his friend Eric Bischoff . This is not so slick way of hiding his assets in plain sight so she cant get her mitts on them. At least that’s what she thinks . I in my paranoid, conspiracy minded brain , thinks that maybe if Bischoff is really talking to CMT about starting up a promotion, and trust me if he does Hogan will play a major role in, then he will need control of Hogan’s name to market the show properly . The Hogan name will make a splash, but he and Hogan and whoever else is involved will have to keep the ratings up.
More theatre of the strange. For those of you that haven’t heard, Scott Hall and the ICP showed up in the front row of the TNA PPV last week . Hall was his usual ten sheets to the wind and made an ass out of himself to the point that it was Nash that had him removed. He screwed up Nash and Joes match, causing some backstage heat between the two of them and he really needs to sit in a cell or a lockdown ward and dry himself out. And know the two morons that are pulling his strings are threatening to pop up on ROH, or WWE shows. That’ll be the day when WWE security lets two white faced A holes screw up any of their product.
A formal offer has been made to Christian to come back into the WWE fold. This is one of those pivotal moments where it could be really good or creative is going to really screw things up. With Edge’s return close on the Horizon, it’s a no brainner that Christian will go to Smack Down. How he will be used is another story. With Edge coming back the way he has alienated Vicki , he will need an Ally . The trick is every body watching will know that he jumped ship and he’s not going to want to be Edge’s side kick.
In a sad sort of way, I’m really looking forward to the Diva’s match this Sunday. Five Diva’s from Raw will take on five from Smack Down and I think that its going to be the start of feuding between the shows. Definitely a step in the right direction as they have been leaking out little bits of heat in the Diva locker room. If they really want to push the ladies, this would be the best way to do it. It will be Beth Kelly, Kelly , Candice Mackie , and Jillian will be taking on Michelle McCool , Maria, Maryse, Victoria, and Natalya Niedhart and with these ten women anything is possible.
Well that’s all I have for now, I’ll have links to this article and all of my other work on my space on my new WWE Universe page. Please email me with any comments you have.
