Well the 2008 rumble was a bit of a mixed bag, some really good things and some pretty poor things.
Ric Flair vs. MVP got us underway, not too bad for an opener, with Flair picking up the win after a patented figure four(***)
Jericho vs. JBL was up next and again was pretty uneventful until Y2J got himself DQ'd by whacking The Wrestling God with a chair, Jericho then preceded to choke the hell out of JBL.(***)
Then Edge vs. Mysterio was up, this was the best match of the card, Vickie Guerrero got involved making the save for Edge, who managed to spear ReyRey after an attempted west coast pop and pick up the win (****)
Hardy got a huge reaction before his match with Orton, there wasn't much high flying which kept the odds in Ortons favour. Maybe a Matt run in or Balcony senton could have helped Hardy, but it wasnt to be, as Jeff attempted a twist of fate, Orton countered with an RKO to get the win.(***)
Ashley somehow was allowed on the mic, only saved by Santino Marella and Maria. Who looks set to be posing for playboy. :)
The rumble started off with the 2 men that finished last years, there were a few suprise entrants, Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka, but up until the last 3 it was pretty standard stuff. The fact Finlay got DQ'd before even entering(or not entering at all and there never used to be DQ's in rumble matches) and Hornswoggle never got eliminated it ruined my enjoyment of the match. Cena was the last man out, it was a bit of a shock but i had heard rumours he may show up, he then eliminated Triple H who had just eliminated Batista to book his place at WM24.(***)

Rumble Imminent
The rumble is only a few hours away and i'm having second thoughts about Flair winning! I started off a few months ago believing that Ric would win the rumble to set up his retirement angle, but it seems that the whole angle has been given low priority so i've had to completely rethink.
I hope that Triple H doesnt win, i'm so tired of his act and more to the point he no longer entertains me, his matches are even more predictable than Ric Flairs!! Even though i dont want him to win he's the favourite as it seems that mania is going to be Orton vs HHH. Hardy may win and lose the title back to Orton but Triple H may just get the Mania match.
Undertaker is the other possibility as it would set up Edge vs Taker at Mania, Edge has never been pinned at the big one so its possible they can do a streak v streak angle.
CM Punk is a very good outside bet as he too would get a shot at Edge at Mania and the feud between them is building quite nicely.
So they are my final three, Triple H, Taker & Punk.
Also expect Big Show to make an appearance, i was thinking Lashley may turn up but as it seems he's been let go that's looking less likely, the official WWE site has only 25 official entrants so there will be some surprises, maybe Flair will do double duty!!!
Let's just hope it's as good as last years!

WWE Draft - Dream Edition
As you are all probably aware the WWE sometimes holds its draft after WrestleMania, this always leads to us net geeks trying to work out who's going where and why, well I've been thinking a lot about who should or should'nt be on the current roster all together. In my draft i'd remove 12 wrestlers from the WWE and replace them with 12 wrestlers from TNA, ROH and the other promotions out there.
The WWE Stars That Are Cut.
I'd get rid of Holly because the guy has been with the company for over a decade and not once shown any sign of drawing money or charisma. Snitsky is bad, not even a foot fetish or yellow teeth gimmick have got the guy over, or his quite obvious use of the gas! Great Khali is the worst there was, worst there is, worst there ever will be. Ric Flair may be getting one last run but personally i wouldnt have brought him back from his self imposed retirement. Charlie Haas could have been great with his late brother and with Shelton Benjamin, but with the latter now getting a decent push on ECW it seems Haas is once again floundering, he was even the duller part of the Viscera Haas tag team. The Miz is annoying and cant work best to show him the door. Big Daddy V is in the same boat as Holly, over a decade and not a single good match, monsters need to be feared and although people fear him, its only because of his bitch tits.
Lawler should go because he brings a staleness to RAW, i quite enjoyed Raw when Heyman replaced him, as for replacing him id have JR and guest colour commentary each week, would at least add a bit of unpredictability to RAW. Funaki is a world class jobber, but has nothing left to offer WWE, he poses no real threat and therefore is glorified enhancement talent. Mark Henry has never ever shown any signs of improvement and he is taking up valuable space on the roster. Michelle & Ashley, women who can't wrestle and are completely interchangeable, worth nothing to WWE.
Reasons for picking these 12.
AJ Styles - Now that he has found the ability to get on the mic he could become the new Shawn Michaels as his in ring ability is first class, he probably would be best served putting into ECW where he could easily challenge for the title using his phenomenal style.
Pac - Would be perfect in reinventing the cruiserweight division on Smackdown! as long as he tones his style down a bit he should make the transition quite easily
Christopher Daniels - with his great ring ability would be a great asset to RAW, especially in the hunt for the IC belt.
Abyss - Could settle in easily to ECW, but would be best served on Smackdown! feuding with Kane especially chasing the US title.
Rhino - This ECW original could make the brand his own, but i think he's another that could fit into the Smackdown! mid card.
Motor City Machine Guns (Shelley & Sabin) - Technically this is 2 people but WWE have drafted teams as whole before, i think RAW needs a tag team that had the chemistry of the Hardys back in the early 00's, Sabin and Shelley also have a lot more experience in singles if they ever split.
Rob Van Dam - He did the whole ECW thing, but i think with his status should be in the WWE or World title picture from the get go.
Samoa Joe - Id put Joe on RAW and i'd feud him with Umaga, a good storyline could be that Joe thinks that Umaga needs to be more human leading to battles between the two, before the 2 team up to take on the tag division.
Jay Lethal - Another Smackdown addition, in the cruiserweight division, but could easily move up to the US title picture.
Jushin Thunder Liger - Id put Liger on SD, even though he has cruiserweight history, with his experience id put him in the US title picture and maybe even a World title shot at one of the B shows.
Tajiri - Raw bound Tajiri could easily slip into the IC title picture, or even the tag ranks as he is quite versatile.
Sting - Even though he's past his prime id bring him in on a short contract, work him with Michaels and possibly give him his only WWE title reign. Im sure it would do big money if he's booked sparingly and only wrestled on PPV.
Have i got it right? probably not, Big Daddy V may become the next Rock or Tajiri may become the next Scott Hall - you can never tell, but thats why we watch every week.

On The Move
So Chris Harris has left TNA. Apparantly he and Ron Killings have signed with WWE, with such good deals that they wont get shipped off to OVW. Also rumours say that Big Show has signed a new contract with WWE, from the reports he is in really good shape, down to about 440lbs.
Senshi has also left TNA on a full time basis, but will be working the occasional PPV, means he's more likely to turn up on the indies as LowKi again. Personally i hope he signs for ROH.
If the reports are right then Show will be probably debut on RAW, Harris in ECW and Smackdown! will get Killings. Ron Killings is a great signing, with his past history i wouldnt be suprised to see him go for the US belt. Chris Harris would probably work quite well with John Morrison and Show would probably debut in the Rumble match.
Then again until i see it with my own eyes, they will indeed just be rumours!

WWE RAW - 7th Jan 2008
Well it was the return of Raw Roulette, reminding us of why Eric Bischoff was more watchable than Vince McMahon, because he IS a gameshow host.
Mr. Kennedy & Shawn Michaels teamed up against Charlie Haas & Trevor Murdoch in a strange bedfellows match, it was pretty standard stuff really, Kennedy picked up the win after taking out his own partner first (***)
Hardcore Holly and Carlito fought in an absolutely rubbish comedy match, because they had to dress as each other, that was pretty much it! Hardcore Holly won (*)
Then we get a Lingerie Pillow Fight between the Divas, which i cared about for about 10 seconds, even after seeing Maria and Mickies outfit. Ashley won the 'match' in her first match since her jump from Smackdown! That will get the ratings up! (*)
William Regal really pissed off Triple H last week so Vince set up a match between the two, so i bet Regal wasnt too happy when he got a first blood match. It wasnt too bad, i mean completely obvious but still entertaining. Triple H gets the win by busting Regal wide open! (***)
JBL & Snitsky vs. Jericho - not even sure about this one, i mean it started off well with Snitz and Y2J in the ring, then the wrestling god himself got involved and just became a massive drawn out (dare i say dull to watch) beatdown. So Y2J wins throgh DQ. (**)
Hornswoggle and tag team partner for the night, Mick Foley had to beat the Highlanders to qualify for the rumble. Mick Foley obviously making up his quota of TV and PPV matches in one easy step. McMahons midget offspring and Mrs Foleys baby boy picked up the win (**)
Thankfully we got a good match to end Raw! Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga, in a steel cage.
It did look early on as if Umaga would destroy Hardy, but as Orton came to ringside Hardy picked up the pace even delivering a whisper in the wind from the top of the cage to pick up the win (****)
So the Rumble is shaping up to be a good PPV, but with the rating for this episode of Raw being a lot lower than hoped it seems the booking squad is gona have to try a lot harder to keep us hooked. Dressing Hardcore Holly up as Carlito is NOT the way to do it.

Best Of 2007
As 2007 was a pretty bad year for Pro Wrestling in general i guess its pretty easy to say what the worst things were, The Benoit tragedy, Steroid Scandals, Injuries to the top stars, Russos booking, 'Death' Of Vince McMahon....................................
But there were good things too. No really there were.
John Cena actually made a good WWE champion (yes he did, i'm a smark but even i have to admit that he was a really watchable champion and he had some great matches)
CM Punk got over (on ECW thats a pretty good thing, though he's shouting whats my name everywhere he goes)
An hour long match on RAW........... That was probably the best match of John Cenas career, and it took place OUTSIDE the USA.
Santino Marella's awesome comedy heel character
MVP's rise to the top (well hes looking at his reflection on that glass ceiling at the moment)
Ring Of Honor made it to PPV
I Discovered Pro Wrestling Guerila, Its what TNA promised to be
Chris Jericho came back (even if he looked like a camp game show host in a bon jovi lookalike competition)
Sunny was back on RAW!
William Regal became general manager - his rightful role (i do miss Tajiri as his teaboy though)
The Climax of the 2007 rumble was the best EVER
AJ Styles got good on the mic.
Team 3D vs The Steiners was actually GOOD
Triple H wasn't on RAW every week. Left time for wrestling.
Maria wore even skimpier outfits this year, got a beer bath and now she's doing playboy!!!
Randy Orton stayed out of trouble (well sorta, depends on which sites you read!)
Umaga was a really, really believable monster (Umanga as us Brits call him)
There was no December to Dismember 2007
WWE released the awesome Ladder Match DVD
TNA didnt go out of business
The Diva Search didnt waste too much tv time (maybe next year it will waste NONE)
And I Could go on but i'm not going to.......
Hopefully 2008 will bring us some great PPV's, good feuds, awesome characters and memorable TV moments, but as long as we have no serious injuries, wellness violations or even premature deaths then this will be a better year than last.

TNA
So there's a TNA PPV tonight! Being from the UK i could get cable and watch it for free on Bravo(not live but only a few day delay) or i could use one of the many torrent sites and download it for free! You see what im getting at, TNA makes no money from its UK fans. I'm not even sure if i am a fan anymore. 2005 was the groups best year with AJ, Samoa Joe & Daniels all top of the card along with Jarrett of course. Since then they've added Kurt, Big Sexy, Booker, The Steiners and a whole host of former WWE mid carders and given Russo the book!
Which brings us back to where i started the PPV tonight! I have no idea what the card is, in fact im gona have a quick look on the website because i really do have zero idea.
Okay this is what the TNA website is advertising, This is what they expect people to PAY for;
FINAL RESOLUTION 2008
LAX vs Hoyt & Rave
Kaz vs. Black Reign
Abyss vs. Judas Mesias
Booker T & Sharmell vs. Robert Roode & Ms. Brooks
TNA Womens Title: Gail Kim(c) vs. Awesome Kong
TNA Tag Titles: AJ Styles & Tomko(c) vs. Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Nash
Ultimate X Match: Motor City MachineGuns & Jay Lethal vs. Team 3D & Johnny Devine
TNA World Title: Kurt Angle(c) vs. Christian Cage
Well there are a few good matches lined up, a couple that could be good and then some that will probably stink the place up due to the booking!
I reckon that LAX will beat Hoyt & Rave, i do know that Shelley Martinez is gona be in there corner and so she must get them the win or otherwise it would be a pointless reveal.
Kaz vs Blackdust seems a bit pointless, Kaz who got the main event push for a few weeks now has to face the washed up Runnels, Kaz surely has to get the win, but Russo's tubby pal may have another wacky storyline push. Going For Kaz on this one.
Judas Mesias will pick up the win, this looks like a really good feud, and with Rellik possibly involved this could be the best feud in TNA.
Booker & Sharmell will get the win, i reckon Sharmell will get the pin on Ms. Brooks, have no idea of the back story on this one so i dont really care!
Awesome Kong will destroy Kim, The Womens division needs an unbeatable champion to chase after, you dont get more unbeatable than Kong!
Got a feeling with all this Joe & Kevin nonsense that they will pick up the win, i'm not bothered either way because Nash should'nt be booked with these good workers. Tomko & AJ have been really good champions, but i think there time is up!
So this six person match is for the X title, huh! Well Lethal has been a very good x champ even with his pretty lame gimmick (yes it is lame, im suprised that they havent done a warrior rip off!) and i think he will get his belt back of Team 3D and Devine (I just realised that Brother Ray & Brother Devon will not be able to climb the X structure!)
Kurt vs. Christian, seems like AJ will have some involvement in this one, having to choose between the 2. Reckon he will side with Kurt and somehow help him pick up the win and retain the title.
Considering i havent watched A TNA PPV for 2 months or An Impact since they went to 2 hours, i think thats a pretty good prediciton! Check back in a few days when i've watched it for my expert opinions and review
