Light at the end of the tunnel

Well, after WWE made a horrible decision to end their PPV main event with a DQ, they announced the day Wade Barrett will finally win the WWE Title. Mark you calendars, November 21st, Barrett will face Orton again with the WWE Title up for grabs, but this time, his new pal John Cena will be the referee. Barrett promised Cena if that he doesn't win the title, Cena will be fired, but if he is the new champion, Cena will be free from Nexus. The plot thickens! As much as I want to see a new young guy win the title, will they really give him the title? The original plan was to have Barrett win at Bragging Rights so why would they wait another month to put it on him? I guess maybe they didn't want to completely demoralize the crowd. I mean, Kane just buried The Undertaker alive, which was the third time he beat him IN A ROW. Crazy scary no? It would be horrible for Cena, the top face in the company, to help Barrett win the title and have his plan be a success in the same night. It makes sense that way, but they did just that at HIAC. Barrett beat Cena in an ultimatum match then Bearer turned on Taker. I guess they learned their lesson this time. Well, over on Smackdown, Edge beat Del Rio and Mysterio and earned a chance to face Kane at Survivor Series. With both World Titles matches announced, it's no shock to me what will be the main event. Barrett/Orton main evented over a Buried Alive match 13 years in the making, so they better get the main event again. I can't see any other outcome beside Barrett winning the title. I mean, it's lose-lose for the fans. Even if Cena stays with WWE, that means he let Barrett win and he's back to chasing a title that's going to be impossible to get now. If Barrett loses, Cena will be gone from WWE. Not Raw, WWE PERIOD. There's no way in HELL that WWE will let that happen. So, like I said, mark you calendars. Once Barrett wins the title, he will cement what I have called The Year of the Newcomer.

BS

Kane did it again. Three times against Taker WOW. Congrats man, you have a new fan. Smackdown, not surprised. You're being treated like the A show so it's about time you guys started getting some credibility. AND DAMN! I definitely called it. Wade Barrett defeats Orton, but by DQ. I knew when Barrett said that if I don't win this match, not the title, the MATCH, you're fired. Great job WWE. Ending a f ing PPV with a DQ. Not much to say. We knew it was going to happen, it happened.

Who will have the Bragging Rights?

Well, this Sunday is Bragging Rights. 5 matches on the card and they all look alright. Women's title match, blah, who cares? Bryan VS Ziggler could be really good. Maybe a show stealer if they give it enough time. They really need to have a third inter-promotional match. If Ziggler wins then Team Raw wins or vice-versa, they who really has the Bragging Rights? Last year Smackdown won two so it made sense. But, anyway, I think Ziggler's going to win that one. Can't have Bryan dominating BOTH middle card divisions can we?

There's no tag title match on the card, which means Dashingtyre not being on Team Smackdown is even more stupid. Unless at the last minute they face somebody. I guess they could face The Hart Dynasty and then finally break up for good, but there are no other real tag teams available. Damn this tag team division.

I think the WWE Title match will be the third match of the night. Just like the match at HIAC, it will be the most talked about contest of the evening, even more than the Buried Alive match. Will Barrett win his first WWE Title? Will Cena do what Barrett tells him to? Will the Viper overcome the odds. Too many outcomes. Well, I'm firmly behind Barrett winning the title. Have been since Night of Champions. If they can give it to Swagger, they can give it to Barrett.

The 14 Man tag match is going to be crazy. It looks a lot better than the one from last year with mostly jobbers who will never do anything in their careers. Most of these guys have been either World champion, a middle card champion, or have a good looking future. Tyler Reks and Del Rio have HUGE potential to be top guys on Smackdown when the time is right. Ezekiel, whether he's heel or not, has the right look to be the next African American WWE Champion. Not going to lie, if Orton retains, I would like to see Orton and Jackson have a title match. A Sheamus/Ezekiel match could be great. Anyway, both teams look great. I've been hearing that they want SD to be the new A show, so I wouldn't be surprised if Smackdown won. More specifically, Del Rio getting the pin on either Miz or Sheamus so he could start getting his push towards to main event.

Kane/Taker. Really don't care. This is the billionth time they fought. At least this is the feud ender. Taker will finally win the title, Kane will be out for a couple of months and someone will get a shot. Del Rio, Mysterio, or Edge. Another Edge and Taker feud would be awesome. Another Taker/Edge TLC match? EVEN better. Well, right after Bragging Rights, Dexter, and me calming down after the Phillies win the NLCS, I'll post a follow up for Bragging Rights!

Nice day

I had a relaxing birthday. No work, just me and mt video games. If I had my VCR hooked up, I would've watched all my old WWE tapes as well. Yup, but now I'm 20. 1 more year and I'll be completely legal. Life sure goes by huh? Anyway, the WWE Title match at Bragging Rights is probably going to be the most talked about match of the night, regardless of the outcome. I, once again, have many different scenarios for how this match is going to end. OK, the ref getting knocked down is definitely going to happen regardless. If Barrett wins the match, he's not winning cleanly obviously. Barrett's going to order Cena to do something like give Orton an AA or hit him with a chair or something along those lines. He does it, Barrett hits Wasteland, new WWE Champ. It seems obvious but WWE has been doing that a lot with this feud. It looks like they want the bad guy to win for once. Another scenario has Barrett winning but when Cena actually turns heel in the process of the match. Then, Triple H finally returns to the WWE and appears as WWE's last hope against the Nexus. Triple H beats Barrett at Survivor Series and restarts his feud with Sheamus. If Orton wins, Cena will be the cause. He'll finally snap after weeks of Barrett's torment. They'll have some kind of final showdown at Survivor Series or something.

Of all the scenarios, I would love to see WWE put the title on Barrett. Let Barrett get a taste of what's to come in his career. He'll just be holding the title for either Triple H, Cena, or Miz anyway. At HIAC, Vince was upset with the Taker/Kane match because it didn't get too much of a fan reaction. Of course it didn't! The kids and everyone else were all shocked the Barrett really beat Cena. Look at the effect he had on the crowd. Could you imagine the looks he would get if he could dethrone Orton and demoralize the entire WWE? It would be so satisfying to finally see a heel get his way and THEN win the WWE Title, but I'll keep dreaming.

EDIT: Team Smackdown is complete! I was ALMOST right. Big Show will be the captain to Tyler Reks (random) Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger, Edge, Del Rio, and Mysterio. OK, Tyler Reks, who the heck are you? I've never seen him on Smackdown at all and he gets a spot? Fishy. Anyway, pretty good team. Dashingtyre better defend their titles at Bragging Rights as they both lost matches to get on the team. I wonder who's going to be #7 on Team Raw? Mark Henry isn't doing anything. Triple H could make his return like this instead of using Nexus. Cena could still be on the team if Barrett lets him. Hmmm, maybe a member of Nexus? They are apart of Raw. We'll see.

20 Years

Well, today is my 20th birthday. I got 75 bucks for my birthday so I'm about to head to GameStop. Anyway, Bragging Rights is finally shaping up. The Miz is going to lead Team Raw into victory! We actually have a really great team this time around. Miz, Sheamus, Santino, Morrison, R-Truth, and CM PUNK! Thank God, CM Punk is now back home on Raw where he belongs. With 3 former World champions on their team and with one more slot left, Raw got it this year. I have no idea who will be the 7th person but they can't mess this team up. I guess on Smackdown they'll have Big Show, Edge, Del Rio, Mysterio, Kofi, and Dashingtyre. That would be the only team that could rival Team Raw. It sure would be a lot better than last year's match.

I'm loving the Cena/Nexus storyline so much. It looks like they're getting two more members which they desperately need with Tarver gone and Skip injured. Husky and Michael are a welcome addition to the group.

Cena is finally put into place!

Wade Barrett continues to be my hero. After Cena tried to once again overcome the odds, the Raw GM made the rule where Cena has to do what Barrett tells him or Cena is fired. Then, there was a battle royal to see who Orton was going to face at Bragging Rights. It came down to Cena and Barrett and Cena had to let Barrett win! What an epic moment that was on Raw. Well, Barrett has another shot at making his career. I can't see him beating Orton to be honest, but Barrett's going to have Cena make Barrett win or he's fired. Cena's probably going to hit Barrett or something, and he's going to win by DQ. Something stupid. They refuse to put the title on Barrett. Oh well. I got to get some sleep so I can get Castlevania in the morning.

WADE BARRETT!

BOOOOOOM! Wade Barrett is my freaking hero. The impossible has happened! Wade F'ing Barrett defeated John Cena (with the help of two Season 2 NXT members) to finally have Cena be Nexus! Life is good! Oh, and what about Kane? He defeated Taker TWICE in a row now? When's the last time someone has done that? Seriously? What a shocker man. Orton and Sheamus had a fantastic match inside the HIAC. It was a back and forth match that was given a good amount of time. Unfortunately, Miz didn't cash in, but I guess because it would've been too obvious. They want Miz to cash in unexpectedly. Like when CM Punk did it both times. I'm convinced it's now going to happen on a Raw that I'm not going to see. Well, ladies and gentlemen, the story isn't that fact that Orton retained or the fact that Kane beat Taker again (even though it was shocking). Wade Barrett has achieved his goal. After 3 months of attacks and unsuccessful attempts to defeat Cena and take over WWE, Barrett has finally done it. I can't go on enough about this shocking news. This maybe the BEST THING WWE has done this year IMHO. Sheamus becoming champion was great, but Barrett pinning Cena and making him join Nexus, is too good to pass up. The only thing that can top this is Miz winning the WWE Title this year. Fatman out!

HIAC is this weekend

This two week between events isn't working for me. There's no real build-up, but whatever. So, what will be the last match on the card? Kane and Taker SHOULD be the last match if you think about it. The first time they met in WWE was in a HIAC and it has the most build-up out of all the other matches. Orton/Sheamus will ONLY main event if they want The Miz to cash in his contract. Barrett/Cena could main event, if they decide to have a HIAC last minute. Legacy/DX got the main event last year and Orton/Cena had more build-up then Legacy/DX so a Barrett/Cena main event isn't out of the question. And it would be cool to see Barrett main event his 3rd straight PPV event IMO. That would only be the main event if Cena would lose. Let the crowd go home thinking, wow, what's going to happen next on Raw? They would get the next show's ratings up for sure. It's really a toss up though. Does WWE want The Miz to be WWE Champion? If they do, let Orton/Sheamus get the main event. Does WWE want the crowd to go home happy by seeing Taker defeat his brother in a HIAC? If they do, let Kane/Taker main event. Or, does WWE want to take a step in the right direction, and let Wade Barrett get the biggest win of his career, and have Cena join Nexus, making the crowd want to see the next Raw EVEN MORE? Let Barrett/Cena main event with Barrett winning. Just my two cents. I'll have a post up immediately following the event on Sunday. Well, maybe not. Dexter is on at 11 after HIAC and I like to pay attention to that, so we'll see.
