Professor Wrestling's Taboo Tuesday Preview It's that time again: the WWE has a pay-per-view coming up. And, once again, Professor Wrestling gives a preview of what's in store. As for me, I really don't care. WWE could make me care by putting Angle over Cena in the main event. But the WWE writing staff have proved over and over that they aren't interested in putting forward compelling content, so I'm not holding my breath.  ¶ 12:42 AM 0 comments

  "Bound For Glory" preview Whoa, TNA's having a PPV this weekend? Who woulda thunk it? Well, apparently Professor Wrestling did, and he provides a preview of the snoozefest, er, I mean, "action".  ¶ 8:48 AM 0 comments

  Smackdown's No Mercy PPV: Wait, there was a PPV? Well, imagine that.... apparently Smackdown had a pay-per-view this weekend! Who the hell would've guessed that? Supposedly they even advertised it, though either I missed the ads, or the lineup for the PPV was just that boring. Batista beat Eddie Guerrero cleanly in the main event, and this is one of the only times that I'll ever say that Eddie losing is the right way to go. Batista needs to be fed a few more heels, before he has his climactic showdown with...

with...

Wait a minute... who'se the top heel on Smackdown again?

JBL? Nope
Randy Orton? Give me a friggin' break
Ken Kennedy? Too soon.
Christian? Should be.

So now who exactly are they grooming Batista for an epic battle against? The WWE'd better get Brock Lesnar signed, sealed and delivered for Wrestlemania, or else Batista is gonna be mighty lonely at the Big Dance.  ¶ 12:44 PM 0 comments

  Smackdown, or why I don't bother watching WWE anymore Over at Online Onslaught, Hosehead recapped this week's Smackdown. And he points out exactly why I stopped watching WWE's shows. "Booker T and ultimately Orlando Jordan claim they were deserving of a US Title Shot. Teddy Long made a triple threat match between Christian/Booker/Jordan and would allow Chris Benoit to choose his opponent at No Mercy. Orlando won the match, by pinning Booker T, but Chris Benoit made a fatal fourway match at No Mercy."

So now, let's try to figure out the logic here: Booker T, Jordan and Christian have to wrestle a triple threat match. The winner there gets nothing, because Chris Benoit gets to choose his opponent at No Mercy. Huh? There are two ways to plays this angle that make sense logically: The winner of the triple-threat gets a title shot at Benoit, or you call a Fatal Four-Way right there. But Benoit gets to choose his opponent? WTF?

Before you ask, the WWE does not get points for coming to the correct conclusion and having a Fatal Four-Way at No Mercy. In wrestling, it's never about the end, it's always about the means. The end is almost always predictable; how you get to the end is what makes things interesting. Screw up the set-up, and you screw up the whole story.  ¶ 3:46 PM 0 comments
