Jericho made his less than triumphant return to SmackDown after failing, for the third time, to get his spot on RAW. So what's next for the most profound wrestler in all of Sports Entertainment? Bad mouthing the guy who punched you in the jaw for starters. Jericho called Mike Tyson a washed up, drunken, ex-champion. He blurted this out with full knowledge that Mike Tyson was not in attendance, but he might have bee at home laughing over the swelled jaw.
Jericho's challenge for the night was the Guru of Greatness John Morrison, in a rematch from their unfinished business over the summer. Yet, how come every time these two hash it out in the ring, someone distracts John Morrison? Last time it was Shelton Benjamin and this time its the I-C Champion Drew McIntyre. During the Walls of Jericho, Morrison willed his way to the bottom rope out of hatred for the Scotsman, taunting Morrison with the I-C strap. Despite Morrison breaking away from the Walls, he fell to the Code Breaker. As for the New 'Baddest Man on the Planet,' welcome back to Friday Nights.
Saving Private "Trevor"
Saving Private "Trevor"
It's been two weeks since C.M. Punk has vowed to save the world with the pledge of Straight-Edge for All, and he has already "saved" one member of the WWE Universe. This week he saves another, by the name of Trevor. Anyone notice how each person he saves has a full head of hair and are well-built? Well... that's because they are all wrestlers.
Punk's gimmick has really gone over, despite many people getting upset over the similarity of Punk raising a cult, or tarnishing the pledge of the United States. Seeing as a lot of people hate C.M. Punk, then he must be doing something right.
Worst Concept in WWE
The worst concept in the WWE is the Fatal Four-way Tag Team match, which allows only two competitors at a time. That's right, only two people are allowed to compete at a time while the other two teams have to force a tag if someone ever stumbles into their corner. Who the hell approved of this? If anything, four competitors should be allowed at a time, at least things would be interesting, and I don't know, maybe have more than one referee to regulate the action from different angles.
This contenders match, to determine who will face D-Generation-X for the Unified Tag Team Titles, was complete and utter garbage. And I know WWE was upset seeing Jeff Hardy on the Jan. 4th edition of TNA, but to pair Matt with The Great Khali? No words or amount of blog space can express my anger over this. Cryme Tyme had a title shot against JeriShow, and failed at SummerSlam; and Hart Dynasty lost to D-X on Christmas Day. Luckily the onslaught was minimized to where C.M. Punk and Luke Gallows picked up the win. Not only is Punk gaining a following, literally, but now he has a shot to make history by becoming the first-ever "Straight-Edge" Unified Tag Team Champions in the WWE.
The Omen
The Undertaker sent a message last week to both Batista and Rey Mysterio, the two possible contenders for the World Heavyweight Championship. Undertaker shows little concern for their steel cage match, because, in his mind, no matter who wins, he will still be the champion. Then he brings up a question that the fans have been dying to learn the answer to, the Rematch against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania. Seventeen men have faced him, and they all fell. One man chose to face him a second time, failed, and was content... that would be Kane. Yet, one man was more glorious than the rest and almost won... but in the end he still failed. On Monday, we find out the answer.
Beth Chooses a Side
For several weeks, both Mickie James and Beth Phoenix have shared sneak attacks, two weeks ago, Beth put Mick in the Glam Slam, while last week, Mick got Beth with the Mick-Kick. This my followers is what we call the rubber match (new phrase I learned and I will use it as much as possible until I get sick and tired of it, so bare with me).
Beth did not even want to wait for the bell, she just got in there and started throwing punches. These two have a long standing feud, and if anyone ever has the pleasure, these two put on great matches. Why? Because they trained to be wrestlers! They were not models contacted by WWE, "Hey, do you want to wrestle?"
Beth Phoenix eventually placed Mickie James in... wait for it.... the tree of "Whoa'.... that's for Matt Striker in case he reads this. But before Mickie could get a chance to unhook her legs, Beth failed in adhering to the 5-count and got herself disqualified. Afterwards, team Lay-Cool showed up to pick up the scraps and place her in the Styles-Plex *cough* I mean the Faith Breaker! Well... how will Mickie retaliate next week? And why Beth? Mickie has no one else to have her back seeing as Maria has a gig with Celebrity Apprentice. Didn't she just return?
Ziggler-Kane III
That's right, another hair-raising battle between the greased up cheerleader against Uncle Fester. WWE realized that Dolph Ziggler was so not ready for the I-C strap, seeing as they made him lose on 20-something occasions, and the belt has passed 2-times since staking his claim. This is pretty much WWE going back to formula, build him from the ground up, again.
Seeing as Kane has nothing better to do than being tossed over the rope by Ezekiel Jackson over on ECW, why not make him the yard stick for Ziggler's success? In their first encounter, Ziggler failed to beat the clock with a sleeper/body scissors take down; yet, after the match, Ziggler struck with the Zig-Zag. In the second match up, Ziggler won the match via a count out on the part of Kane. However, this week yielded a different result, Kane chokeslamed Ziggler for the win. Way to go Kane, you beat Dolph Ziggler. *two slow claps*
Mysterio Falls... Over!
Throughout the whole night, everyone kept focusing their attention on Rey Mysterio. Can he do it? Do you think you can do it? Do you have a shot of being the World Champion for the second time? Aren't you a little small to be competing in the WWE, the land of the giant superstars?
Well, I for one believe that Mysterio is too small to be competing here, but I also knew he would win. Why? Because he is short and fast! All you have to do in a Steel Cage Match is to escape the cage to win the match, you don't necessarily have to pin or submit your opponent.
Batista is too big and clunky to ever escape over the top of the cage so his best bet would be to pin Mysterio in the center on the ring.
Mysterio did attempt to use Batista has a stepping stone, quite literally, in order to jump out of the cage, but he would continue to be pulled in. Batista's hubris was his downfall yet again, instead of taunting your opponent, go for the cover, and then gloat. Mysterio did manage to go over the roof of the cage one last time, and left a parting gift to Batista, a drop kick to the steel door over Batista's face on the way down for the victory.
That's right, Rey Mysterio is the #1 Contender for Undertaker's World Heavyweight Championship! Just maybe, Mysterio will defying the odds and become the World Heavyweight Champion. But then again... Undertaker's not to worried about the luchador, only with the answer he has for Shawn Michaels this Monday Night on RAW.
