10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 11.06.09

1. A great opening segment if only because it grants us the long awaited Undertaker/ Chris Jericho confrontation. I’m pulling for the two to get a singles feud down the line once Jericho drops the tag titles, and its not going to be long before we see that now that D-Generation X seems intere »»

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 10.09.09

1. John Cena joining SmackDown could be both a good thing and a bad thing for the WWE. While I’d hate for Cena to come over to SmackDown and hog the main event scene for several months it would shake up the main event scene on RAW, something which is direly needed. 2. I still don’t »»

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 09.25.09

1. I’m not sure on the opening segment. While it set up everything that needs to be set up, such as the World Heavyweight Championship match for Hell in a Cell, it just didn’t have that special something. It felt a little bit bland and other than CM Punk’s consistently entertain »»

DC’s Book Review – Did The Booking Reach It’s Breaking Point?

Okay, so the title is lacking a bit in originality but that isn’t what we’re here for. This week, instead of taking one aspect of the booking, this column will focus on looking at the entire booking of the Breaking Point pay per view. Now bare in mind that this review strictly look »»

10 Thoughts on SmackDown – 09.04.09

1. I couldn’t help but laugh at the fans shown during CM Punk’s opening segment. I guess its true what they say – It’s still real to them! 2. On to how incredible the Punk promo actually was (bar making kids cry, which was just plain fun to watch). Now that Jeff Ha »»

DC’s Book Review – Gimmick Pay Per Views

World Wrestling Entertainment have recently changed up their pay per view schedule a fair bit and with that of course comes some changes to the pay per views output, namely the number of gimmick matches that appear on a card. While Breaking Point isn’t the first pay per view to focus on a sin »»

This week, instead of taking one aspect of the booking, this column will focus on looking at the entire booking of the Summerslam 2009 card. Now bare in mind that this review strictly looks at the booking of the pay per view, not the quality of the match itself. CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy – Wh »»

10 Thoughts on SmackDown – 14.07.09

1. With the CM Punk/ Jeff Hardy feud hopefully coming to an end soon (I’ve loved the feud, but there is only so many times I can watch the same two guys going at it) I’m really hoping John Morrison can step up to the plate tonight once again. 2. The Jeff Hardy/ Hart Dynasty match ma »»

10 Thoughts on SmackDown – 08.07.09

1. CM Punk pulls out the promo goodness yet again. I swear, he’s quickly becoming one of the reasons I tune in to SmackDown each week. 2. I was worried for a minute there that the SmackDown writing team had lost their minds and were actually putting on the headline match first. Ah, Vince M »»

DC's Book Review - The Problem With The Guest Host

By now, everybody will have formed their own opinions on RAW’s weekly guest host situation, whether they be good or bad. The decision to have guest hosts alone was controversial enough, but I decided to give it a few weeks before I made any judgment. Now, a few weeks has passed and I can assu »»

Radio advertising in the Los Angeles area promoting the TNA Bound for Glory PPV features teasers that Bound for Glory, which takes place in Irvine, CA will feature the final match in the career of former TNA, WCW and NWA World Champion Sting.

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 07.17.09

1. So with their feud potentially coming to a head next Sunday I have to say that I’ve enjoyed CM Punk’s title reign so far. His heel turn has been done flawlessly, while WWE have really made Jeff Hardy into a contender that you really want to take the title. 2. CM Punk: Guidance Co »»

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 26.06.09

1. I enjoy SmackDown because I don’t have to be put through the boring storyline obsessed alternative of RAW so it was no surprise that the episode of SmackDown that featured Vince McMahon was the single episode with the most backstage segments since Backlash. 2. Thank god somebody finally »»

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 06.12.09

1. I finally got behind Jeff Hardy during the opening segment on SmackDown. Not enough to want him to beat Edge, but certainly more so that I have done previously. Maybe it has something to do with him assaulting CM Punk? I used to be a big fan of Punk, but recently, he’s gotten really boring »»

Spoiler Free News On Smackdown's World Title Match

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 06/06/09

1. SmackDown featured the traditional pre ladder match segment; however this time it had a twist, with both of the wrestlers involved being at the top of a ladder instead of just one. It may not be a big change, but when you see the same thing multiple times even the smallest change can make a big d »»

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 10.16.09

1. Chris Jericho & Kane co-captaining team SmackDown isn’t actually a bad idea. They need someone who can match the Big Show in terms of size and plus it continues the push that Kane seems to be getting, certainly not something that I’m willing to complain about. 2. Itâ€⠻»

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 10.02.09

1. The tenth anniversary of SmackDown means a big backstage party. I guess I’ll be making numerous references to this throughout so bare with me, it could get tedious. 2. The horror that is Kane getting fed to Batista. Sure, Batista has a tag title match at the pay per view but thatâ€℠»»

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 9.18.09

1. Despite the fact that Chris Jericho and the Big Show are currently involved in the John Cena/ Randy Orton feud on RAW they’re still being put into some kind of storyline with Batista. And let’s not forget that in this storyline, there will be a very good chance that they will both g »»

10 Thoughts on SmackDown – 09.11.09

1. It’s rare that WWE gives Undertaker the chance to cut an in ring promo anymore, and while it’s understandable with his gimmick it does make the promo’s he does cut that little bit more special. Furthermore, if CM Punk and The Undertaker are given more back and forth oppor »»

DC’s Book Review – Cross-Rhodes

Witty titles aside this is one of the rare times I will focus a column on the booking of a single superstar. The reason being it is much harder to argue about a single superstar than an event of a division due to the expansive nature of topics available to discuss. But none the less, I’ll giv »»

10 Thoughts on SmackDown – 08.28.09

1. The big match we all knew was coming is set for the main event with the big stipulation added early on. Truthfully as soon as it was announced as ‘loser leaves town’ everybody who reads any kind of wrestling news site will have known the result. 2. SmackDown featured on of the mos »»

Possible Main Event For RAW

World Wrestling Entertainment is advertising D-Generation X and John Cena vs. Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes as the main event for tonight's RAW.

10 Thoughts on SmackDown – 08.21.09

1. Big six man opening match that actually does something to build towards Summerslam. I’m actually looking forward to both the Intercontinental and Tag Team titles matches at Summerslam. 2. Ah, the continuing feud between Kane and The Great Khali. At least I know when my break will be dur »»

DC’s Book Review – Tag Title Revival?

Tag Team wrestling is a dying art. It’s a claim that has been made time and time again and it’s a claim that until recently it was very hard to argue with. World Wrestling Entertainment just hasn’t placed a great deal of focus on their tag team division in recent years. Now t »»

DC’s Book Review – CM Punk: SmackDown’s Number One Heel?

Calling someone the number one anything on a brand isn’t something I’d usually do, unless that man was Edge of course, and for good reason. Everybody has their own opinion on what constitutes someone being the top heel on a brand, hence why we’re looking at this not from a popul »»

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 07.31.09

1. Half decent promo from Jeff Hardy to open the show, albeit the same old predictable stuff we hear from his every week he gets microphone time. 2. The victor of the Cryme Time vs. Hart Dynasty match was a foregone conclusion as soon as it was announced that the winner would challenge for the ta »»

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 07.10.09

1. Did I miss something? When did Jeff Hardy become a pirate? 2. Kane beat Jeff Hardy. Now thats a bah gawd moment if I ever saw one. Does this mean that Kane’s actually going to be getting a decent push? Oh wait, he’s feuding with the Great Khali so I guess not. 3. John Morrison »»

10 Thoughts On Smackdown - 07.03.09

1. SmackDown now has five new wrestlers following the big tri brand trade. Now while it doesn’t make the WWE draft look strong, it does bring some interesting new talent. And by that I mean The Hart Dynasty. I see no point on Matt Hardy and Finlay being moved to SmackDown, but I do like the H »»

WWE The Bash Dark Match

Prior to last nights live broadcast of The Bash a dark match pitting R-Truth against Shelton Benjamin took place. R-Truth picked up the victory in about 3 minutes. »»

10 Thoughts On SmackDown - 06.19.09

1. I found it very interesting that despite the fact CM Punk has not actually turned heel yet he got a lot of heat during the in ring opening. I think the only direction to take Punk now is the full on heel route, because everyone is already in the mindset that he’s the bad guy right now. I k »»
