Quick Thoughts on Mr. Kennedy/John Cena

I am now under the belief that Mr. Kennedy is in someway cursed...


If you recall, it was Mr. Kennedy vs Bobby Lashley. It may have been the start of a short feud or something. Mr. Kennedy ended up getting the clean win, which I recall was a bit unexpected. I seem to recall Bobby Lashley being semi-unstoppable at the time, unless of course your name is John Cena. Anyways, in the match-up, Bobby Lashley ended up getting a pretty severe shoulder injury. He's out for however many months, at this time I do not recall. Anyways, even though I have never been a fan of Bobby Lashley, and probably won't ever, he's injury was still a big loss. Hopefully it gave him some time to think about what he makes me watch.



Now, last Monday. It was Mr. Kennedy vs John Cena. Kennedy seemed to dominate most of the match. It seemed to me that what they were going for was to make it look like John Cena got lucky with the submission late in the match, if they were, it sucked. Anyways, but in case you haven't heard, John Cena's out. He will more then likely miss Wrestlemania 24. Let us take 12 seconds in silent celebration now knowing we won't have to watch John Cena win for quite some time. 1... 2... 3... 4.. 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10... 11... 12... Ah... Now don't get me wrong. It isn't that I'm cheering for his injury. It's just that, like Lashley, I feel he was being used in the wrong role. In fact, he was being used in the wrong role. Just ask anyone. But I'm getting off-topic. The point is that Cena was hurt in a match against Kennedy.

That's all I have to say. I will let you make the (now) informed decision.

Real Reason The Sandman was Fired

Credit: WrestlingObserver.com Newsletter

There were several incidents which lead to The Sandman’s firing. In early September on a flight during WWE's African tour, Sandman and some other wrestlers got drunk prior to takeoff and had a yelling match with Ricky Steamboat over smoking on the plane. Later on, due to time constraints a few wrestlers were pulled from a show and Sandman was one of them. Sandman thought this was Steamboat’s way of getting revenge. A few days later, he called John Laurinaitis and requested his release. His release was granted despite Vince McMahon being a fan of his character.

Sandman sold one of his construction companies a few years back and is financially in a good situation where he doesn’t need WWE's paychecks.

Vickie Guerrero Spoiler

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

SmackDown writer Michael Hayes was the one who pushed for the heart attack route in the Kristal & Theodore Long wedding storyline. He had been wanting to do an angle involving Viagra for quite some time. The Viagra induced heart attack on the night of the wedding had actually been scripted since June. Hayes was strong on the Viagra part of the storyline, knowing Vince would love it and that it was believable drug to trigger a heart attack.

The plan from day one was for Vickie Guerrero (and at one time Kristal, but she's likely staying on as a babyface) to get a hold of Long's medical records, find out about his medical issues, and orchestrate this whole thing out in the storyline. The big goal of the storyline is to turn Vickie Guerrero into a major heel. Though it was argued by some in WWE that getting major heat on Vickie would be compromised by the Viagra aspect of the storyline that made it somewhat of a comedy.

Nonetheless, as result of the outcome of the storyline, Guerrero will turn into a major heel General Manager. She would then turn her wrath against Rey Mysterio in particular, to do a Hispanic version of Vince McMahon vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. She would have also used Kristal in the ordeal, and would subsequently fire her former friend from SmackDown.

The original plan for Kristal was for her to move to Raw shortly after the storyline. She's currently in a real-life relationship with Bobby Lashley, and since he had pull at the time, he asked Vince McMahon if she could move to Raw to be with him. Vince agreed, and she should be moving to Raw eventually. However, Lashley is going to be out of action until at least December, so her forthcoming move to Raw may be held off for a few more months.

Another idea being batted around to get Vickie even more heat from the fans is for her to start a relationship with one of the male wrestlers on SmackDown. The idea is that the wrestler would get preferential treatment from her, and it would make her even more of a heel to the fans because she'd be betraying her late husband Eddie Guerrero. The other idea being talked about is that the wrestler up for the role would actually be using Vickie in order to get preferential treatment from her, but Vickie would be trying to get the wrestler "in the sack" in exchange. The wrestler would tease the idea, but it would never actually happen in the storyline because the wrestler is not really interested in sleeping with her; he just wants to further his own career, and thus he'd be the one doing the using.

If Vickie ends up having a relationship with a wrestler, MVP appears to be the primary candidate for the role. There has also been talk of using Edge in the role, but MVP's name has gotten more play.

My take on this is positive. 100% positive. Well, 94 to 96 percent positive.

I do like the idea of turning Vickie Guerrero major heel. Really I love it. It's a good idea. This, of course, being that they do it right.

Although I don't like the idea of MVP starting a fake relationship. I'd much rather watch Edge play that role. MVP is hard for me to want to hate. Sometimes it feels like he just goes on and on and on, and I don't think he'd be right for the role.

Is Chris Jericho Comming to Save Us? (Videos)

Yea, sorry for being so busy. I promise you though, I might think about posting more often. I just might. (Probably not though).

Anyways, you have probably been seeing these little 17 second promos that are playing right now. The save_us.222 videos. Also, if you go to wwe.com and scroll all the way down, they have the video posted on their site. It look like this.


Exciting, right. Well here is two more videos that I found on YouTube. These people are trying to show how this is a Y2J Promo. Pretty convincing. Although, the first one goes a little fast, you may need to pause.

ECW Thoughts/Cool Site

Alright, my ECW Thoughts are as follows... in list form.

1. Tommy Dreamer's hair is now hilarious!
2. Elijah Burke will win next week, even though it will be more interesting if Tommy Dreamer does.
3. Big Daddy V still needs to wear a shirt.
4. Richards and The Boogeyman both weren't used. This is odd, because the ECW roster is so thin. I don't quite see how they don't have either of them wrestle, and yet, they have Mike Knox wrestle a jobber. Maybe it all makes sense though.
5. Make Striker would be much easier on the eyes if he wore pants.

Also, you might want to check this page out. It's kinda funny.

RAW Thoughts

RAW Thoughts

Ummm... Oh dear god.

I can't get a serious thought out. It is kind of cool that Hardcore Holly is back, but, yea. That's it. Steel cage match was lame. There was at least 5 times when Carlito could have won easily, but didn't. That's not cool.

Although, it is kind of cool how the night ended. With the big "Thank you... Mr. McMahon". That was great. (As I read on some other blog who I would give complete credit to if I remembered which one) John Cena is very hit or miss on the mic. Monday he was very miss and very hit. Kind of neat.

But they aren't seriously going to try to make the Highlanders in to a contender are they? Lets hope not.

Actually RAW was very decent. Jeff Hardy, Candice Michelle, Beth Phoenix, and Dennis Rodman all had a nice match tonight. I was just very scared by the whole... Mr. McMahon factor. Or as I like to call it... The Vinnie Fac.

Smackdown Thoughts

So yes, it was the Season Premiere of Smackdown. The main event was Kristal and Teddy Long attempting to get married, but then Teddy Long died... or had a heart attack... or just put his hand over his heart to say the pledge, but then forgot the words and was so embarrassed he faked a heart attack... Yea... Something like that.

Is it just me or would it have been hilariously ironic if Teddy Long had a heart attacking during the skit, and nobody broke character?

But yea, these weeks edition of Smackdown featured Maria and Jeff Hardy, and every WWE Superstar. All of the male superstars ended up leaving early, but all the Diva's stayed. I'm going to talk more about this later.

Also tonight we had Rey Mysterio and JBL fighting, but not fighting. Instead we had some Irish guy come to the ring. Interesting. I wonder if JBL is going to start wrestling again.

Overall, Smackdown was maybe a 6/10. Decent. Maria really did a good job being the host and everything.

Is every face in the WWE turning heel?

OK, so at the end of the wedding this Friday, every male in attendance left. Except a few, but they aren't important.

Doesn't this turn them heel? I mean some are already heel, but some like CM Punk and Balls Mahoney aren't heels. I just named those names because when watching a clip from the wedding on youtube I noticed them on the Ho Train.

So like, is this going to cause conflict in all the other "relationships" on TV. Like is Victoria going to dump Kenny? Or is Kelly Kelly going to dump Balls? That would really be too bad. As I have mentioned before, they are perfect for each other.

So yea, this is just a thought.
