The Celtic King

Well, Sheamus won the 2010 King of the Ring Tournament but for what reason? Isn't the King of the Ring for upcoming superstars? Sheamus is already that. He's a two time champ isn't he? The only reason I see him winning is because of Triple H returning. It will be the Celtic King VS The King of Kings. Makes sense. The whole tournament was kind of stupid to be honest. Why did they have McIntrye/Jackson end in a double countout? Jackson should have won and fought Sheamus, then he could've beaten Sheamus, continuing the storyline of up and comers beating him, then Del Rio could have beaten Jackson. I hope it's worth it WWE. Congrats to the Celtic Warrior for another amazing thing he can add to his career!

Still going crazy

It's been a little less than 12 hours since I've watched the epic Raw. I still can't believe Miz has finally did it. And just like I predicted, I was working when it happened. I knew I wouldn't be able to see the best moment in WWE this year live. I might take off next Monday for the KOTR. I would love to see that thing live. Anyway, I've watched the cash in about 100 times easily. It's crazy how far the Miz has come. I remember him being a nobody, who was just hosting things on Smackdown. Then, the best decision WWE has made in sometime, pairing up two young guns in Morrison and Miz and having them dominate the tag team division. After their break-up, I didn't know if Miz had what it took to make it to the big times. He was good on the mic, but he wasn't really getting a reaction from the crowd just yet, but WWE changed that when they let the kid feud with the top guy in the company. Yeah, he didn't beat him, but it certainly helped in molding his character. Eventually, he won a mid card title and actually held the damn belt for half a year. 6 MONTHS! After that, we all knew it was a matter of time before he would become the WWE Champion. With this victory, Miz has established himself as one of the top heels in the company, along with Barrett and Del Rio, Isn't it weird the people that everyone hates are all new guys? Well, the youth movement is definitely in full effect. For anyone that doesn't like how WWE is pushing young guys, go watch TNA and see some WWE reject reign supreme over there. It's about time up and comers are winning titles. Smackdown is suppose to be about new talent but all three young champions this year (Sheamus, Swagger, and Miz) won the title as part of the Raw brand. Sure, Swagger won Smackdown's title, but he was a Raw guy when he did it. And they still have Barrett to give it to when The Miz is done. At least Raw is giving new guys title matches. The last 5 title defenses Orton had were against Sheamus, Barrett, and Miz. Who would have thought that those three guys would be the top heels of Raw last year? And to make things EVEN BETTER, John Cena is still (kayfabe) fired from WWE. This is like when Edge, Christian, and Orton all won titles in the same night. This is like when Orton and Edge won the Rumble matches. This is like when Edge first cashed in MITB. What a feeling it is.

Barrett and Del Rio, you guys are next! BOOM!

Do I need to say it?

AAAAAAAWWWWWWWEEEEEEESSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE! It has finally happened! The King of the Ring is back! Raw has Sheamus, Big Zeke, Daniel Bryan, and John Morrison representing the show. I'm rooting for Big Zeke to win. Let me stop. The REAL story is that The Miz has finally cashed Money in the Bank in and is now the NEW WWE Champion! After everything that happened with Orton, Cena, and Nexus, Miz picked his moment and won the title he worked hard to get. I thought Barrett winning the title would complete this year of the newcomer but it was actually The Miz. Congrats man! Out of everyone in WWE right now, you deserved it. The Miz is the man on Raw!

Let the era of Awesomeness BEGIN!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Before I get into my review, I would like to first state that WWE kind of dropped the ball at this event. There were a lot of storylines they could've taken off tonight, but WWE once again didn't capitalize on it. Both middle card title matches were good. Kind of mad both champs retained though. I'm glad Natalya finally won the Women's Title and it was good to see Beth Phoenix back finally. WWE Tag Title match was exactly what I expected; surprise surprise. Morrison beat Sheamus. THAT was probably the biggest surprise moment of the night, besides the main event of course. The elimination tag match was pretty good, not better than last year's Team Miz VS Team Morrison. What was the point of the damn match if Del Rio wasn't even involved in the final decision? Wasn't he the Team Captain? He didn't even get ELIMINATED!!! Jesus Christ. What a bad booking decision. Edge VS Kane ended in a shocker. Haven't seen that ending since HBK/HHH in 2002. Edge and Kane in a TLC match could be epic though. The main event. The match everyone was talking about, didn't end in some kind of screw job fashion. It didn't end with Barrett finally accomplishing his goal. He inadvertently accomplished a goal every male WWE fan has been wanting to see for a while. Cena counted the 1-2-3 for Orton on Sunday and he retained the championship. HOLY CRAP!!! Cena is gone from WWE! CENA IS GONE FROM WWE!!!!!! Well, for two months or so. He'll be back before Mania, hell before the Rumble, but the fact that WWE is finally proving that Cena is human is a shocker to me. So, Cena's gone from WWE. Now what? What's next for Orton? Will Miz finally cash in his contract sometime soon? Does Triple H finally come back? Do they finally push someone new? Barrett has had his chances. It's hard for me to say this, but it's time for him to move on. Barrett being WWE Champ is kind of hard for me to see right now. He's had three chances, it's time for someone new.

Who is going to be Orton's opponent at TLC? Some names I have are John Morrison, Sheamus, Big Zeke, Barrett, and Daniel Bryan. Morrison just upset a former two time WWE Champion in Sheamus. Sheamus and Orton have history, so another match between the two wouldn't be the worst thing, but it definitely would be the dumb thing. Ezekiel is has the WWE look so giving him a shot against the champ could be nice. Barrett may find another way at getting the WWE Championship, but he's the furthest from my list right now. Daniel Bryan is one of the best US champs in recent history, He's fighting all challengers and is putting on some amazing matches. A US Champ VS WWE Champ kind of thing could work so well. I'm guessing they won't announce a new #1 contender until the the 11/29 edition of Raw, which is suppose to be the King of the Ring tournament. Whatever happens, John Cena is gone from Raw. I don't know if he's getting a farewell kind of thing tomorrow night, but expect Barrett to try and get another shot at the WWE Title. Hell, it could even happen on Raw.

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE! Well, for at least 2 months!

Prediction time!

I think it's funny they announced 5 matches in one week. When they do that, it makes me believe they don't even care. Anyway, 8 matches on the card (isn't that a little too many for a 3 hour show) and 6 of them look pretty good. The match order should go like this:
WWE Tag Title Match
IC Title Match
Sheamus/Morrison
US Title Match
Divas Title Match
Elimination Match
World Title Match
WWE Title Match
This could be one of the best SS in recent history. Last year's was excellent for me. Both male elimination matches were good and so were both world title matches, especially the WWE Title match. Anyway, let the predictions commence!

Nexus VS Santino and Kozlov should be the opening contest. Knowing WWE, they'll open with the elimination match. Anyway, probably will be a quick match with Nexus retaining. While I like the team of Santino and Kozlov, I don't want them taking the titles off of Nexus when their leader is going to become champion later. Nexus wins cleanly.

Kaval VS Ziggler could be the best match of the night. Ziggler is easily one of the best guys on Smackdown and his matches show it. Ziggler/Bryan from Bragging Rights in one of the best matches of the year. Ziggler had the title for over 100 days now and Kaval being champion opens it up for feuds with McIntyre and Rhodes and allows Ziggler to be pushed to feud with Edge if they want to. Kaval wins in probably the best worked match of the night.

Sheamus/Morrison could be good. Sheamus actually pinned Morrison last year in that elimination match, so it actually worked out. Sheamus is just fighting Morrison because they don't have anything planned for him right now, so Sheamus will get the victory. He'll just keep patiently waiting for Triple H to come back. Maybe he'll win the King of the Ring tournament in a couple weeks, who knows.

DiBiase and Bryan is another potentially awesome match. Bryan has yet to have a bad PPV match so I have high expectations for this one. DiBiase is probably the most under used guy on Raw, so a US Title run would do him good, but with Bryan being on such a roll (he beat a former World champ in Swagger this past Raw) I could see him beating another opponent. I'm still waiting for the inevitable Bryan/Bourne and Bryan/Punk feuds, which would be fantastic. Either one would be a WrestleMania clash.

Divas Title match. I really don't care about the woman's division since Mickie has been out of it. Beth should be coming back soon so I'll start to care a little more then. Natalya will probably finally win the title.

I really want to see the classic Survivor Series elimination match. Like I keep saying, Team Miz made their careers from this match and there's no reason it can't happen again. It's no secret that WWE has big plans for Alberto Del Rio. Hell, he could be Edge's opponent at TLC. While that's highly unlikely, (Edge will probably face Kane in a TLC match) it's likely he'll be a surviving member of his team. Swagger has pretty much been established since he has been a World champion but the others could benefit from a victory. So I'm behind Team Del Rio.

Edge VS Kane. Not really looking forward to it. I want to see Edge win though. Like Ziggler, Kane has past the 100 day mark as champion, so it might be time for someone else to get it. Edge hasn't been champion since CM Punk last cashed in Money in the Bank, so it's time for another title run for the Rated R Superstar. And it would be #10 for the WWE veteran. He really needs it because he's currently tied for World Title victories with John Cena which is very alarming to me. Cena is going to be WWE Champion by WrestleMania so Edge needs to win so Cena won't past him.

The main event, the match everybody is talking about. Wade Barret VS Randy Orton with Cena as the guest referee. Barrett wins, Cena is gone from Nexus. Orton wins, Cena is gone from WWE. It's a win-win for me. Barrett wins, he finally gets the WWE Title and completes the Year of the Newcomer and would be the 3rd young guy this year to win a World Title, which would be amazing to me. Three complete nobodies would win the top titles in WWE. Anyway, if Orton wins, CENA IS GONE FROM WWE and Orton would still be WWE Champ. I still like Orton so it wouldn't be horrible if he was still champion. Now, it may seem obvious to everybody that Barrett will win the championship right? There is no way in hell that they would allow Cena to be fired from WWE right? Can you really imagine the WWE without John Cena right now? As much as it pains me to type this, he's kind of a big deal in WWE. I've heard rumors that he's suppose to be filming a new movie pretty soon so this could be a good way to get him off of TV, but the thing is, you know he's going to be back. There's no way in hell Cena will miss Wrestlemania. Even if he was injured, he's proved before he's Superman. So how does WWE do this? After giving Sheamus and Swagger titles this year and seeing the results, are they ballsy enough to give the WWE Title to Barrett? Once Sheamus won the title, he shot up and is now one of the top heels in the company. Swagger, didn't do so well. So they're 1-1 this year. I say give Barrett the title and it's not just because I'm a HUGE Nexus mark. It would work storyline wise. Barrett wins, holds the title til Royal Rumble. Loses because of Undertaker and then they set up the inevitable Barrett/Taker match at Mania, boosting his career even more. If they allow Orton to win, who would be next in line for a title match? Sheamus? Yeah, sorry, don't want to see another confrontation between them on PPV. Miz? He's Mr. Money in the Bank. He'll get the title on his own accord. The only logical outcome on Sunday is for Barrett to win. Barrett could feud with Orton one last time or hell, even face Big Zeke. Let HIM win the KOTT tournament on the 29th and face Barrett in a Tables Match. Kill two birds with one stone. Whatever the outcome on Sunday, it will change WWE forever. Either WWE will prove that the youth movement is on, or they will 'lose' one of their biggest stars. Also, don't forget that it IS Survivor Series, so expect a screwjob in at least one match, probably the match everybody wants to see. I'll see whoever reads this Sunday night after Barrett wins the title.

3 DAYS!

Oh thank God!

At least Smackdown is going to have a classic elimination match. This year, we got Team Mysterio VS Team Del Rio. Now I swear I called that in another post. Mysterio has Masters, MVP, Kingston, and Big Show on his team while Del Rio has Reks, Swagger, McIntrye, and Rhodes. Another year, another team full of young guys. Like I said before, all of Team Miz held title belts after winning that match and there's no reason why it can't happen again, especially with Captain Del Rio. Hell, Tito Santana introduced him and Chavo Classic drove him out to ring. You're definitely going to be World Champ if Tito Santana backs you up. Or at least an IC champ, Jesus. Anyway, that should be great and I hope Del Rio's team wins. We also get Santino and Kozlov facing Nexus for the tag titles and Sheamus facing Morrison. Where the hell is Ziggler and Bryan on this event? WHERE IS THE MIZ? I still think they could get another elimination match out. Team Ziggler VS Team Bryan. Team Ziggler can have Ziggler, Miz, DiBiase, Tyson Kidd, and Zack Ryder and have Team Bryan have Daniel Bryan, R-Truth, Goldust, DH Smith, and Ezekiel Jackson. That's really pushing it but they have Masters on Team Mysterio. Give the guys some screen time. They need to push Big Zeke anyway so let him show what he can do. Could be a good SS.

5 days til Barrett wins the title. This will be a great weekend if both Edge and Barrett can win gold. I'll have a post PPV blog right after Survivor Series!

EDIT: After watching all of Raw, DiBiase VS Bryan is more likely than a elimination match

Where is the classic SS matches?

Survivor Series 2010 is 10 days away and there's only three matches announced. What the hell? Where's the elimination matches? Where's Team Sheamus VS Team Santino? Where's Team Del Rio VS Team Mysterio? Why are they going to wait until the last week to announce matches? I know there have been two elimination style matches already but I love them. Last year's opening contest was only one of the best matches of the night, it jump started all those guys careers. Let me point out that all those guys (Ziggler, Swagger, The Miz, McIntyre, and Sheamus) won titles after that victory. and for Sheamus and Swagger, they were world titles. For Miz, he's a guaranteed World Champion. Anyway, I think they have enough feuds between both shows to get at least one out. Have Sheamus, Del Rio, DiBiase, The Miz, and Ziggler take on Santino, Mysterio, Goldust, Big Show, and Daniel Bryan. That looks most likely if they're going to do one. That could be a really good contest. Miz needs to win this one, he's on a pretty bad PPV losing streak. He gets dissed at SummerSlam, tapped out at NOC and HIAC, and then got beat at Bragging Rights. He must win whatever match he's in.

Anyway, 10 days until Barrett wins the WWE Title.

Counting down the days

18 more days until Wade Barrett is WWE Champion. Can't wait
