Lashley™

Opening Promo:I expected a brawl and we got it, well kind of. Was cool to see Jericho get the better of both Jonathon Coachman and the WWE Champion, Randy Orton.

Match 1: Great match to have in my opinion, just to clarify is a Bakersfield Street Fight, just a street fight? Was upset to see Cryme Tyme not win but was a good read, nice finish with the Elijah Experience on the steel chair.

Promo 2: I like what you have going with Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke, feeling discriminated because of the color of their skin.

Match 2: Pleased to see Melina and Victoria win as most people would allow Mickie and Maria to pick up the victory Good to see that it is Maria who is hit with the paddle and not Mickie.

Promo 3: Excellent!! Just excellent! Triple H and Angle were in character and Triple H was awesome, pleased to see Triple H got the better of Angle eventually as that is more realistic in my opinion.

Match 3: Squash, not much to say tbh. It makes Umaga look strong.

Promo 4: Carlito seems confident but I doubt he will win if I'm honest, he kind of seemed out of character and he was saying it is unfair, sort of like Bejamin & Burke.

Match 4: Hardy vs. Carlito in a Steel Cage Match? Nice! Hardy needs to get the win like I see he does so good work, nice clean finish from Jeff too!

Promo 5: I like this feud with Cena and Finlay and I hope Finlay does come to RAW next week.

Match 5: Orton vs. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Orton should win this as it would be an outrage if he didn't unless Jericho made an appearance. Pleased to see Orton win, and I love the RKO.

Promo 6: Nice to see Dusty Rhodes in the Hall Of Fame, and a nice little promo from Jericho!

Main Event: First Blood matches are always awesome, and it will be even better since these two have a little history. Orton making an appearance is cool, and I like how you made Orton cost Palumbo the match.

Overall - A very good raw my friend, I enjoyed all the matches especially Orton's and Jericho's. I think you have a good thing going with the Finlay/Cena and Orton/Jericho feud. I hope Finlay comes to RAW next week! 8/10.

ECW on Sci-Fi Preview
Tuesday February 20, 2007
San Diego, California

Wrath of Heyman

Paul Heyman shocked many fans two nights ago at No Way Out whenever he turned against Rob Van Dam and Sabu during their Extreme Rules Match against Mr. Kennedy and Marcus Cor Von. Nobody could have seen it coming but tonight Mr. Heyman has vouched that he will give us his reason as to why he he did what he did at No Way Out.

Battle of the Originals

Tonight Rob Van Dam and Stevie Richards will do battle in the Semi-Finals of the ECW Extreme Rules Championship Tournament. RVD had to overcome Balls Mahoney in the first round while Richards got a shock upset victory over Sabu thanks to the debuting Marcus Cor Von. But tonight both men look for the ultimate goal: To move onto the finals to face Mr. Kennedy. Will RVD reign supreme or will Richards find himself the ultimate victor.

All of this and more this Tuesday at 10/9 CT on Sci-Fi!

Friday Night Smackdown Preview
Friday February 23, 2007
San Diego, California

Explanation Needed

In the span of three nights JBL made perhaps one of the biggest impacts a General Manager has made to this date. On last week's Smackdown JBL took Edge out of the big eight man tag match throwing himself into the pot to compete and thus sending a message to Shawn Michaels. Despite the big Clothesline from Hell HBK's team was able to still pick up the win. But at No Way Out JBL slowly creeped down towards the ring in the big Champions versus Contender's match taking out HBK with another clothesline from hell. What is the reasoning of this madman General Manager?

Fallen Brothers?

At No Way Out, the Brothers of Destruction suffered defeat in their first tag match in six years whenever Umaga was able to hit Undertaker with the Samoan Spike and get the clean victory. Tonight Raw's Umaga will make a special appearance on Smackdown along with his manager Armando Estrada. For what reason? We do not know but we do know that the Deadman is a very angry man!

Protect This Ring

MVP did just that this past Sunday whenever he pulled off one of the biggest upsets in history whenever he pinned John Cena in the middle of the ring. However the match did have it's fair share of controversy in the fact that Finlay and Hornswoggle both helped MVP big time during the match. But that won't matter because MVP tonight has promised us that he will be throwing a big celebration party and that everybody is invited. What will go down on this big monumental night for MVP?

Cruiserweight Chaos

Two weeks ago Chavo Guerrero went to General Manager JBL asking for something big. What he got in return wasn't really what he "wanted" but he certainly won't complain. Because tonight on Smackdown JBL has booked a Cruiserweight Open. Two men will start out the match and once one is eliminated another will enter. The eventual winner of the match will then be named the Number One Contender!

For all of this and more tune into Friday Night Smackdown this Friday at 8/7 CT on the CW.

----------

Okay. There is a good possibility that Smackdown/ECW will go up tommorrow night. ECW is in full recap bar the Heyman promo. Really there won't be much leading into WrestleMania 23 so it doesn't make sense to write out the whole show for now.

So just be looking for all of this tommorow but if not then it'll be Monday to Wednesday when it gets up.

The ECW and Smackdown previews look interesting, to say the least. Seems like there's been a lot of unexpected twists and upsets over the past few weeks, and the descriptive preview really helps for those who haven't followed this thread that often. (Me, for instance.) I can only assume that Heyman will say something about wanting fresh superstars on ECW and wating to support them, but that's just a guess. In the Semi-Final match you have set up, I hope RVD wins this one...but with Cor Von lurking around, there's no telling if the match will even finish clean out. I look forward to seeing that match, I'd imagine it to be spotty and intense for sure.

As far as Smackdown, looks like JBL's going on a mean streak with HBK, wonder why. I also wonder what woll go down when Umaga comes to Smackdown...I'm almost sure this will be leading to a feud, but I guess you're the only one who knows. I'll defiitely be reading to see what happens there if nothing else. The cruiserweight open sounds pretty cool, as does the celebration with MVP.

Looking good with the previews, it really helps me to catch up a bit on the thread, and boosts my expectations for the two shows. I'll be back to read them man.

The SmackDown and ECW preview looks good, will be good to read why Heyman did that to Rob Van Dam and I will definitely read both shows when they are posted.

This is Awesome, cant wait for mania!

SD! and ECW previews look pretty good. I'm interested to see what happens with Heyman, and it should be fun to see where MVP begins to go after beating Cena at NWO. Looking forward to the shows being posted KOP, I'll be reading.

Raw Review
Effective opening segment to open the show. I thought it went by a little too quickly, but it continued to successfully set out the parameters of this WWE Title feud, with Jericho looking to ‘redeem’ himself so to speak. Raw Roulette is always interesting, and it sets up a couple of nice matches here. Jericho’s attacks on both Orton and Coach got him what heat he lost last night back. Nice.

‘The Golden Standards?’ You could’ve just called them ‘The Gold Standard’. Flows better, imo. No real shock to see the champions retain in a throwaway match (though they were given a run) to kick off Raw; gives them momentum.

Paddle? Mickie win plz. Usually I’m not really a fan of race-based angles, but anything involving Benjamin showing a little personality is a plus in my book.

Mickie loss = No ratings, but understandable since the Women’s Champion is the one who needs the build at the moment. Beth/Victoria at WrestleMania is a pretty sweet women’s match by the way.

‘twas kinda weird to hear Hunter trashing Angle for some of the very same things that he’s been accused of in the past. don’t know if that was on purpose or not (I think it was because you STRESSED the things I’m talking about), but it was surreal to read. Hunter-Angle is a solid WM match clearly in the making. Angle showing balls and attacking H even with the injured shoulder kept him looking pretty strong, but I thought he should’ve done that from the start instead of giving a crap about why H attacked him. Still, solid segment.

Umaga owns. That is all … Oh, yeah, Estrada promo.

Lol @ Carlito. I thought for sure that he’d manage to get into the MITB Match, even with the odds ‘against him’. Nice swerve. Last time I read this thread, Jeff Hardy was the Intercontinental Champion, so it’s nice to see that build hasn’t gone to waste.

Finlay’s not exactly the big name opponent that you expect somebody like John Cena to be involved with heading into WrestleMania. It is a nice way to give a bump to the SD guys, Finlay & MVP, which has already started with MVP’s win at NWO, so it just about works out. Next week should be quite interesting.

Orton over Piper is clearly the right move. Not much to say on that one.

Not sure what exactly is that you see in Chucky P., but he didn't come out of this match as bad off as one would assume considering he's facing the number one contender. Orton busts Palumbo open, and hopefully this has consequences for TLK. If not, I don't think it helped either party out too much. Still very much in the opening stages of this feud, however.

Good show, KOP.

Raw Feedback

Sorry this is late, KOP Pretty solid way to kick of the show with the contract signing. Coach is awesome as your GM, especially when he's being a classless, tasteless heel like he was here. What I especially liked though was/is the way you have avoided turning Jericho face with the old 'comedy' route, which he has used in the past. Jericho can get fan support with that routine, but as it's all about the WrestleMania Main Event, it's only fitting that you've had him be much, much more serious. The only stuff I don't like is his constant references to fan support. Makes him seem like a bit of a whining wannabe; as in the past, even as a face, he never really referenced the fans so overtly. Orton was pretty much bang on too, dead-pan, serious, confident, the perfect heel really leading into their match. Great tension. Excellent booking already for tonight's Roulette matches, especially with Palumbo/Jericho in a First Blood war. I knew they would meet eventually, but this is the perfect way to do it, making it quite a vicious end to their relationship as well. I expected Y2J to come out on top at the END of the show, but he certainly got revenge for No Way Out right away. Perhaps Randy going through the table was overkill, but Coach having the Walls slapped on him is going to lead to some serious repercussion, I'm sure.

Despite Coach's awesomeness, I'm glad Vinnie Mac is getting the chance to run wild tonight, as he's usually in his element with something like this. Another well booked match, this time between Cryme Time and The Gold Standards. I thought this feud miht heat up a bit more over the comin weeks, but this Street Fight already took it to the next level. Glad the GS got the clean win, as it keeps them looking like beasts in this division, but they are rapidly running out of challengers me thinks

Unless Teddy Long becomes their manager, I'm never really going to get into this racial thing with Burke and Benjamin. Neither of their characters really needs the angle, as they've both got other gimmicks that fit perfectly {e.g. amateur athletes}, which would be fine on its own. Still, an angry Shelton is better than a normal Shelton on the mic any day of the week.

@ a Paddle on a Pole match. It also amuses me that Mickie James was completely jobbed out. Mac loved that Anyway, I'm really liking this build to Victoria/Beth, as Vickie looks a psycho monster here by killing Maria until Beth makes the save. Should be a VERY hard hitting match at W'Mania.

Nice segement next with the showdown between Hunter and Angle happening at last. As Mac expressed, I found the theme of Trips' rant on Angle rather ... intriguing. It makes it personal, and it damn sure touches the borders of kayfabe, but as I think you are doing it to stress a point about what Helmsley has been like in the past, I think it actually works. I don't actually think that Anle would have attacked Triple H right off the bat, so good job there, as it was probably tempting to have that happen. Angle's badly injured, but he's usually billed as being pretty smart in these situations. Shows it well with the use of his left arm and comes out of this first face-to-face meeting looking pretty strong. If I take anything from Hunter's comments at the close of this show, it's that this match WILL be a gimmick, most likely just No DQ, since Hunter would excell in that, and it's a COMPLETELY different kind of feud from the "who's the best wrestler" schtick of Angle/Michaels two years ago.

Great stuff from Umaga, looking like the awesome beast he is. I guess there wasn't room for any build to his match with Taker tonight, but I look forward to reading Estrada's promos with the Deadman later.

Glad to see Carlito's heel turn continuing in his interview with Grisham. He's so much better as a heek it's scary. The Cage match was perfectly booked {yet again}, as the No Way Out rematch HAD to happen. However, you know my thoughts on this over MSN I never liked Jeff, and CCC > most, but I know he's still in line for a push so i'll be happy with that. I doubt Jeff will win MITB though, and he seriously needs to drop the IC title soon. He's been stale since winning it at Unforgiven.

Still enjoying Cena giving the Mid-card of SmackDown! a HUGE rub with this feud. Intense Cena is so much better than comedy Cena, and he's really picked up his game in the last few weeks. This is the only other match {other than Angle/Trips} that could be some kind of Hardcore match, but this one might not need it, as Cena and Finlay's styles will likely turn it into a crazy brawl anyway. Next week should be fun; with Finlay not exactly the talkative kind, I expect a nice fight to hype us for 'Mania.

I was sure you would just continue Ric Flair's decline by having him be the one to go down to Orton, so props for actually pulling out a somewhat 'unusual' Legend in Piper. Only way to go was a clean, impressive win for Orton.

Another well booked contest for the Main Event. I expected Orton to stay out there, looking to take advantage, but I was quite surprised that Palumbo did so well. Only busted open after Orton fucked up?? Maybe Chuck could slot into the IC division after this. Might as well, considering you only have Jeff, Carlito, Haas and ... no one else in that division right now. Nicely poised now are Jericho and Orton, with the staredown afterwards
rather than one man standing tall. I expect this feud to heat up even further in the comin weeks.

I missed Haas but it was still an impressive Raw Roulette, KOP.
