Night of Champs

I actually caught this PPV... and I was very happy at the result, the night was full of good match's, with a great win for jeff hardy at the end to cap it of. here's my thoughts per match

UTB big show and jerico defeated legacy

wow my first thought was 'what big show? bullshit' but then it hit me, this is perfect. he was doing nothing at the moment, and it will mean more when a babyface team beats them for the title. anyway the match itself would of been great if legacy were a babyface team. instead the crowd cheered for jerico and it was a decent match.

ECW champ- christain defeated tommy dreamer.

this was a great match. and the philly crowd were behind both superstars(dreamer got one hell of a ecw chant). christain winning wasn't a surpise. expect a extreme rules match at summerslam

6 pack for the US title- kofi retained

spot fest anyone? great match again, boy I'm praying for carito v primo v kofi v evan bourne. just how epic would that be. anyway great match primo replaced big show so the match itself had some pace behind it. carlito backstabed he's brother at the end of the match after they were working together, which I thought was a good way to continue thier fued. overall well done guys.

womens championship match- mchool defeated melina

this was a werid match, lots of new moves from melina, gaining control of the match only for mchool to trap melina in a pin

triple threat match for the wwe champ- orton defeated cena and triple h

wow. this was awsome. great action, well paced, and each spot was well done. prton tapping out to both hhh and cena was well done, and even legacy interfereing made sense. again great match

divas match- micky james defeated maryse

I should metion before the awsome promo from the miz to maryse backstage before this, but go look it up on youtube. anyway it was hard to follow the prevoius bout so it wasn't really that good. but micky desevered that win. so I'm happy

intercontional match- rey defeated zigger

great recap promo before the match, made zigger look like a million bucks. and the match was great to. zigger is a star on the rise, just don't push him to fast

WHC- jeff hardy defeated cm punk

earlier in the night cm punk came out and cut one hell of a promo, which makes me think how he wasn't discovered any sooner. anyway great match, only problem was the ending sequence which felt deflated. anyway should be intersting for the next few weeks with jeffs contract and all

Raw's main event

At this moment in time, RAW has about 4 real main event players.

John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton and the Big Show.

And while you have a great supporting cast that are ready to make that jump to main event status (Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, MVP, Miz) there just not at that level yet when you can say “wow that guy is going to beat (insert main event name) for the title!

The point I’m trying to put over is that WWE has reached a dilemma. While the main event players on RAW at the moment at the biggest draws in the company, their feuds between each other don’t seem as fresh as some other show’s are producing at the moment. Sure Cena and Orton again could last a few PPV if done right, but relatively we have seen it all before.

Moreover these wrestler’s are needed in the main spotlight to ensure that their merchandising and name value is kept up. Keeping these players’s in the main event scene is usually good for business. So this usually means that the mid card have to push themselves up onto the scene. It’s been done before, but usually main event status is only really given after a win over another main event wrestler. And with only 4 on Raw that are healthy, this could be seen as a problem due to lack of time/ space.

So what’s a solution? We’ll WWE invented it last year, which helped produce Jeff hardy as a main event player.

The scramble match

Yes we all know about this type of match, but lest we remember back at unforgivin last year were Smackdown only had 4 main event players. One was injured and the other was just coming back from injury, and one was just doing nothing.

So what does WWE do? They take 4 prospect superstars, throw them into a match with their biggest star Triple H, and watch what emerges.

Sure hardy was the only one to really prosper out of that match, but in that sense, that match alone created 6 months of storylines. It helps the long build up to Jeff’s title win, and kept the title scene fresh.

So while at the moment you can’t see any type of scramble match happening to soon. Be sure WWE has something cooking up there selves when it comes evaluating. Because sooner or later there going to have to.

(The following was 100% smarkness. If experiencing any symptoms of ‘smark hatred’...... go f*ck yourself)

sydney house show...

I was at the RAW house show in Sydney on the 4th of July. And while they set a new record of people at Acer arena..... They left me feeling robbed

Here’s how it went down

Chavo v Goldust

I was ok with this being first... at the time. These two don't get to wrestle on TV much so it was weird watching them go at it. They really stalled all during the match, though Chavo did play at the crowd so he could get booed. And good old horny at the end distracted Chavo long enough so that Goldust could hit his finisher.

Overall 6 stars

Shamus v noble

Two things. One isn't shamus on ECW? And two, where in the world has noble been. Apart from the main event this was the best match of the night. Shamus had just cut a promo insulting the states football team, saying that he is their new hero. Pretty good promo actually, and awesome theme song. These two chained wrestled, with noble playing smart by taking the big guy down, then shamus to power out and use his size advantage. In the end shamus hit his finisher which was just sicking.

Overall 7.5 stars

Santino v Brain

If you saw superstars last Thursday you didn't miss much, however because it isn't shown here, we got this match. It was ok, Santino was stalling half the time, and TBK was just... himself. It was ok match but the crowd was starting to get bored.

Overall 6 stars

Miz V MVP.

Miz got on the mic and cut a good promo which gained a lot of heat. He's right you know. He is awesome. Anyway it was an ok match. Could have been better. Miz got the win after removing the pad form the turnbuckle and MVP going straight into it.

Another note, every heel so far has tried insulting certain parts of the crowd. And as the night drew on it was getting old. Expect Cody nearly started a fight.

Anyway overall 5.5

Kofi V regal

Worst match of the night by far, 80% of the match was rest holds, this was really bad. Worst than kahli wrestling (that’s right, I said it). Hope these two never see each other again.

Overall 2.

Intermission

Tag match legacy V colons'

This was a good tag match, don't like legacy's new music though. Anyway colons did the usually stuff, but in the end legacy won.

Overall 7

Divas match- Maryse V Kelly Kelly

Earlier Mickey James awarded a family way up in the heavens ring side seats, soooooo we get Mickey on the mic, while Kelly Kelly and Maryse wrestle...... WTF?! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE GLAMZON, MICKY JAMES, ROSA AND GAIL KIM? GOD DAM IT IF I WANTED TO SEE TWO BLONDE MODELS GRAPPLE EACH OTHER I WOULD JUST HEAD DOWN TO KINGS CROSS!(Sydney’s red light district) oh well Maryse won..... But I wasn't paying attention to the match.

Overall 4D.

Main event tag match. Randy Orton and big show v Cena and triple h

This was actually good. Though it was a TV quality match, it had that house show ending. Cena FU (oh sorry attuide adjustment) the big show then trip's finshing him of him. Orton ran away and that was it. Yep got my money's worth...........

Overall 7

Conclusion

Overall the show quality was poor, two good matches, on serviceable, and the rest ether ok or poor.

Won’t be seeing RAW again.
