WWE Smackdown Review - Friday 13th June 2008 2008-06-14 06:33:00 With some good feuds building on Raw I was wondering how Samckdown this week were going to continue to build Edge vs Batista and what other feuds they were going to develop for Night of Champions.Good PointsGood build for Edge and BatistaI’m really looking forward to this at Night of Champions as they are building this feud well.

I was looking forward to Angle vs. Styles and the King of the Mountain match especially. TNA have invested a lot of time in promoting these two matches but hopefully the rest of the card could provide some good entertainment.Good PointsThe Return of AbyssAfter many weeks of Abys
TNA iMPACT Review - Thursday 12th June 2008 2008-06-14 18:16:00 After a mediocre at best Slammiversary it was time to see if TNA could deliver with a strong iMPACT.Good PointsGreat build for tag team feudTNA did a great job of building a feud between the team or Roode & Storm and LAX. First Storm and Roode cheated to get the win and the belts then the ref reversed the decision and started the match over. Then LAX picked up the win but it was after that when Ro Read more:Thursday

WWE Raw Review - 23rd June 2008 2008-06-24 16:47:00 Instead of my usual style Raw review this week I am going to talk about the draft movements in detail that took place on Monday night.From Smackdown to Raw – Rey MysterioNot surprised by this one Rey has done anything he possibly can on Smackdown and his highflying style will fit well on Raw. Being on Raw will also give him time to develop his character and persona which has never really been do
WWE Raw Review - 7th July 2008 2008-07-09 16:08:00 After the best episode of Raw this year I was wondering what the creative team were going to pull out the bag this week.Good PointsNew Feud for BurchillAfter his last feud finished very abruptly with Mr. Kennedy Burchill has now been set up as an opponent for Kofi Kingston. Burchill waited for Kofi to secure the victory over Charlie Haas before laying him out. Good to see Burchill already being pu
TNA iMPACT Review - Thursday 3rd July 2008 2008-07-06 05:44:00 After an average iMPACT last week and with WWE starting to pick up TNA need to start working hard again. With Victory Road getting closer some more matches need to be made for it and soon to give them enough time to build them correctly.Good PointsFinally Samoa Joe has match on iMPACT as he partnered with Kevin Nash against Robert Roode and James Storm in the main event. It was also good to see Ro Read more:Thursday
WWE Smackdown Review - Friday 4th July 2008 2008-07-06 05:21:00 Following on from one of the most eventful Raw’s in sometime Smackdown

All these questions needed to be answered.Good PointsEdge gets a lot of TV timeThe fallout from Raw was the main theme of Smackdown. Edge was involved in many segments starting with Vickie Guerrero a Read more:Friday
WWE Raw Review - 30th June 2008 2008-07-02 17:41:00 With ratings at a low and with the results of Night of Champions meaning Raw had no champion I was wondering what they were going to do on Raw tonight. WWE needed to do something big to win back the ratings and following Vince’s accident last week I was hoping for a good one and boy did it deliver.Good PointsCM Punk cashes in the MITBCM Punk followed up his draft to Raw by cashing in his MITB af
TNA iMPACT Review - Thursday 26th June 2008 2008-06-29 12:44:00 After missing last week’s iMPACT I was looking forward to seeing what was happening in TNA this week after hearing good things about their UK tour.Good PointsBrother Ray getting good promo and mic timeI think TNA are really starting to use Brother Ray well giving him time to get over his heel persona.

WWE Smackdown Review - Friday 27th June 2008 2008-06-28 04:12:00 It was the first Smackdown
after the draft and the last Smackdown before the PPV so it had potential to be an explosive Smackdown especially with raw mainstays HHH and Good Ol’ JR making their debuts.Good PointsAn exciting main event pictureThe show started well with HHH cutting his first promo in Smackdown only to be cut off by Edge who reminded him whose house it was. Batista was thrown in to Read more:Friday
WWE Great American Bash 2008 2008-07-22 14:22:00 The GreatAmerican
Bash usually wins the award for worst PPV of the year, the card is normally terrible, the matches equally as bad and no good storyline developments. This got me to the point where I started to think if this was done deliberately by Vince to bury a PPV concept originally created by WCW for his own amusement. However on Sunday night I witnessed in my opinion the best minor PPV of
TNA iMPACT Review - Thursday 17th July 2008 2008-07-19 18:49:00 After a terrible Victory Road I was interested to see how TNA were going to turn things round. TNA are erratic at the moment they aren’t consistently good and they aren’t consistently bad so here’ hoping this was going to be a good week.Good PointsGreat Booker T / Samoa Joe PromosAfter a duff main event at Victory Road these guys really pulled out all the stops tonight. Great in ring and bac Read more:Thursday
WWE Smackdown Review - Friday 18th July 2008 2008-07-18 19:02:00 With only a few days to go to the Great American Bash and with one of the most mouthwatering matches that being HHH vs. Edge coming from the Smackdown
roster I was looking forward to see how it was all going to pan out before the PPV.Good PointsBrilliant Build for Edge and HHHThere wasn’t much of it but the last 15 minutes or so were brilliant. It was like late 90s WWF all over again. Great to s Read more:Friday
TNA Victory Road 2008 Review 2008-07-18 19:01:00 After a decent Slammiversary but a not so good last couple of weeks on impact I wasn’t sure going in to this PPV whether I was going to like it or not but still hoped TNA would pull something out of the bag.Good Points12 Man World X-Cup matchMatch of the night by far this one but by having it on first and having it go for over half an hour it then meant nothing else on the card could compete wit Read more:Victory
WWE Raw Review - 14th July 2008 2008-07-16 16:52:00 With one week to go to the Great American Bash we had three major feuds developing those being CM Punk vs. Batista, JBL vs. John Cena and Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels. Add to this you have Kane going crazy and still no Vince of general Manager to keep things in check.Good PointsShane and Stephanie may be coming to RawOne of my Raw highlights was the fact that Shane and Stephanie started the sh
WWE Smackdown Review - Friday 11th July 2008 2008-07-13 17:18:00 With an interesting main storyline surrounding Edge and Vickie Guerrero I was wondering if the creative team could this week put some interesting storylines around it to make it a fuller show.Good PointsAnother great day at the office for EdgeEdge held Smackdown
together again this week with great in ring and backstage segments. They have crafted the storyline brilliantly with Vickie wanting reven Read more:Friday
TNA iMPACT Review - Thursday 10th July 2008 2008-07-13 17:06:00 With WWE starting to get interesting again and with Victory Road just round the corner it was important that TNA hit a home run tonight.Good PointsUnpredictabilityTNA took a leaf out of WWE’s book this week with a wild start to show as we immediately cut live to a parking lot brawl between Roode and Homicide which eventually got in to the ring and lead Sting to appear from the rafters. I’m not Read more:Thursday
WWE Smackdown Review - Friday 8th August 2008 2008-08-08 18:50:00 After not being too impressed with recent editions of Smackdown
I was hoping this week would see an upturn as we get closer to SummerSlam.Good PointsEdge going off the railsEdge is doing a brilliant job at the moment playing this out of control guy who has been pushed over the Edge by the fact that he has been put in Hell in a Cell with the Undertaker and is slowly going crazy. He is carrying Smac Read more:Friday

WWE Raw Review - 4th August 2008 2008-08-06 17:43:00 With it being Mike Adamle’s first Raw as GM I was very intrigued to see if my opinions of Mike would change after viewing this weeks episode or whether this would be the worst raw in history.Good PointsInteresting matchmakingI will get on to Mike Adamle the character a bit later on but I was impressed with his match making. First we had Jericho and JBL in a handicap match against CM Punk with th Read more:August

WWE Smackdown Review - Friday 22nd August 2008 2008-08-23 10:40:00 Fter Raw was a bit of a mess I hope the Smackdown
brand could do a good job with their first show since the PPV. Would the Undertaker appear? Who will be HHH’s next challenger? And is it the last we have seen of Edge?

WWE SummerSlam Review 2008-08-18 16:48:00 Back in the day SummerSlam
was sold as the hottest event of the Summer however in recent years I think it has lost it’s magic and it’s importance. To me SummerSlam is now just another monthly PPV which was proved by a gimmick match with no title at stake being booked as the main and two horrible title matches which haven’t been hyped. So with this in mind here are my thoughts on the show.Goo
TNA iMPACT Review - Thursday 14th August 2008 2008-08-17 05:50:00 After an ok Hard Justice I was looking forward to iMPACT as the event had left some questions to be answered and some doors wide open which should be what a PPV tries to do.Good PointsJarrett on his way backThe show was all about teasing the return of Jarrett with Samoa Joe teasing it in the opening interview of the show and then by at the end having the lights go out, Jarrett’s music hitting an Read more:Thursday
