Mick Foley Returns To WWE
On the most recent Raw Mick Foley returned home to the WWE after a few years in limbo in TNA. I am glad to see Foley back where he belongs. On his return he tried to throw another "this is your life" segment for Cena, and as you may have guessed, it didnt go over very well. It was very rushed, and reeked of Foley and Cena trying too hard. Usually Foley has TONS of great ideas for angles, this was not one of them. It was pretty funny to see the Rock give Foley The Rock Bottom though.
Cena And The Rock, Face off against Miz and R Truth before Survivor Series
Ok The Rock got fuckin ginormous. Hardly seems fair for The Awesome Truth, both Cena and Rock are bigger than houses. I personally am very excited for this match.

Sin Cara Still Having Having A Hard Time In The WWE
Sin Cara has been having nothing but problems in his short tenure in the WWE. No one wants to work with him, and his matches are filled with botched spots and mistakes. While I do believe its very difficult for Sin Cara to make the transition to American style wrestling I do believe that he should be getting better at this, and he has not. There has been multiple talks of actually terminating Sin Cara's contract altogether. It is believed that the only reason they are keeping him around is due to his marketability. Only time will tell if Sin Cara is able to get on the good side of WWE corporate.
Mason Ryan Getting A lot Of Backstage Criticism
A lot of you viewers may have noticed that the WWE is really getting behind rookie, Mason Ryan. While it may seem like the whole creative team is behind Ryan, he is apparently getting a lot of heat from superstars and staff alike. They believe that his ring skills are not up to par yet and that the only reason he is getting this push is due to his abnormally large physique. A lot of people have even speculated that he is taking steroids or some other growth hormone and the WWE is intentionally turning a blind eye towards it.
While I can only add Ryan's steroid use to speculation, I happen to agree that his ring work is not up to par yet. I have seen him in action a lot recently and all of his matches have been really sloppy or unimpressive. He obviously has a lot more to learn.

Former WWE Superstar Kamala Gets Foot Amputated
It has been reported that Kamala (right) recently had his foot amputated due to complications with blood pressure and diabetes. Kamala was a big name in the WWE during the 80's and its such a shame that his health has deteriorated to this point. I hope that Kamala has high spirits and will get through this.
Kevin Nash Added To The WWE World Tour
So Nash has been having a lot of dark matches around the country and overseas as a part of the WWE world tour. Apparently he has been solely involved in tag matches while they younger stars have been doing the majority of the work. This is understandable as Nash is very old but I can't wait to see him back in action again on regular WWE tv programming.
Rock and Cena To Team Up Against Miz and Truth At Survivor Series
I am actually legitimately looking forward to this match. I think that giving the fans a taste of The Rock and Cena together before Wrestlemania is a good idea. Fans were already outraged when they said that The Rock Vs. Cena match would have to wait till April so this is a good way to appease them without giving away the main event too early. Miz and R Truth are both great in ring competitors but I am really stoked to see all these new comers interact with the Rock since they never before have squared off against him. This is also the Rock's first match in what seems like a decade. I am flying out to New York just to see this and am very excited.

Zack Ryder: Destined For Greatness
I wasn't a fan at first I'll admit, but after doing some web research, Zack Ryder definitely deserves the push he has been receiving. He became popular not because of the WWE but all because of his presence on the internet and the fans legitimately getting behind this guy. Way to think outside of the box Zack! Woo Woo Woo! YOU KNOW IT!

Triple H Relieved Of His Duties
Vince returned on last week's Raw to do what his son in law did a few weeks ago and relieved him of his duties. Triple H was replaced by John Laurenitis and seems to have returned to the active roster! I like seeing Triple H give another good run in the ring and I hope that he doesn't decide to hang up the boots too soon.
Big Show Returns, Challenges Mark Henry To A Title Shot
I know I can't be the only person who thinks this but I am stoked to see the Big Show back on Smackdown. I feel like he's been gone for a while and am very excited to see what him and Mark Henry do at Vengeance. These two vets are definitely going to put on a good show.
Tyler Reks: What Happened?!
So this guy debuts and is supposed to be some sort of devastating superstar and he barely makes a blip on the WWE Universe radar. He's not even a mid carder and thats giving him credit. Figure out what to do with this dude or send him back to FCW.
Cody Rhodes Brings Back The Classic Intercontinental Title
This is pretty cool. Always fun to see it when WWE does a little retro fan service. I also think it helps Cody give himself a little more character and I am very interested to tune in each week to see how his character grows. I have a lot of faith in Cody and I think he has the potential to be great.

The Hardy Boyz: Disgraces To The Business
I am not going to go off on a huge tirade because I would be wasting time and effort on the subject but I just want to say that I am extremely disappointed and embarrassed as a fan of The Hardy brothers. Both these guys had the world in the palms of their hands and they threw it all away on more than on occasion. After numerous arrests and failed drug trests, not one but both Hardy Brother's are out of a job. Both superstar's actions are embarrassing and have been terrible influences to the younger wrestling audiences.
WWE Wasting Money Keeping Khali Around
I personally think that it is time for WWE to finally cut it's losses and get rid of the punjabi giant. Khali was a great gimmick when he was first introduced but his angles have become stale and uninteresting. He went from being World Champ to a big ass jobber. I've never seen a jobber who is over seven feet tall. He can't wrestle, he can't cut a promo to save his life, and the period of time where he had such angles as "the Khali Kiss Cam" were embarrassing to a superstar who had headlined pay per views in the past. I honestly think that Khali's character has run its course and I think it would be beneficial to the WWE budget to get rid of him. I do not see him putting on any more interesting matches or angles in the near future.
Mark Henry Is Finally Champion: I Say About Time!
As you all now, Mark Henry finally won the big one. He defeated Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship. I for one happen to think that it was a long time coming for Henry to become champion. The dues and time Mark Henry has given this business is a large number to say the least. The potential for a great heel has always been in constant in Henry and I'm glad that the WWE has finally realized how many great stories and angles they could tell with The World's Strongest Man. I am one who believes in hard work being rewarded and this is case in point, where hard work has finally paid off. Kudos to you Mark Henry, keep up the good work.

The Most Talented 2nd and 3rd Generation Wrestlers (Shockingly Short List)
Bret and Owen Hart (Sons Of Stu Hart)
Dustin Aka Goldsut and Cody Rhodes (Sons Of Dusty Rhodes)
Randy Poffo AKA Macho Man Randy Savage (Son Of Angelo Poffo)
Chavo Guerrero (Son Of Chavo Classic)
Natalya Neidhart (Daughter Of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart)
Randy Orton (Son Of Bob Orton)
Duane Johnson AKA The Rock (Son of Rocky Johnson, and Grandson of Peter Mavia)
Note: I am not adding Ted Dibiase JR. (Son Of Ted Dibiase Sr.) because I think he sucks and hasn't accomplished anything.
Alberto Del Rio Is Champion, But Could It Be Too Soon?
So Alberto Del Rio has achieved his "destiny" and is now the current WWE champion, but was the push given too soon? Del Rio is certainly one of the best workers in the ring today and he is well known to be quickly adapting to the politics in the WWE faster than any of the new blood on the roster, but I think his character could be given a little more polishing before he was finally given the belt. Del Rio hasn't even been on the roster for a year and I think giving him the belt already could be detrimental to his career as we have seen with the likes of Sheamus and Jack Swagger. Both those characters were given the belt too early and their careers have been put on the back burner. I like Alberto Del Rio's work and I believe he could be great but I just hope his career is being planned correctly.
CM Punk Vs. Triple H: Put Together Too Fast?
While I am extremely excited to see HHH and Punk go at it at Night of Champions, I worry that the buildup for such a great match was not as good as it should have been. Both Punk and Triple H are excellent ring workers, which means that the match will probably be very good, but I don't think that the buildup and events leading to the match were written as well as they could have been. For a while the angle was supposed to be Kevin Nash vs. Punk but that ended up not happening for whatever reason and HHH was thrown in last minute. I don't know if this was done intentionally or something came up that required a last minute change, but I just feel that such an epic encounter doesn't seem like it is as big enough of a deal that it should be.

WWE Taking Careful Precautions With Security Concerning Maryse
WWE Diva Maryse has been receiving threatening letters from a male stalker and the WWE has heightened security around the Diva to protect her from a man named Lee Silber. Be careful Maryse!
After Some...Interesting Promos, Johnny Curtis To Debut on Smackdown This Friday
This guy definitely has a good look to be a superstar but this is purely speculation until I actually see him in a match. I will have to say that I am not a fan of his promos leading up to his debut.
CM Punk Returns, WWE Has Two WWE Champions.
Let me just start off by saying that I applaud the WWE with the newest storylines and direction they are taking with their "real life" angles. Wrestling hasnt been this interesting to me in a while and each week it just gets better and better.
Vince Is Relieved Of His Duties, Triple H Is Now In Charge
Does this mean we no longer are going to see Triple H in the ring? Its an interesting new angle the WWE have given us and I am actually looking forward to see where this goes. Only Vince would get fired in a pink suit.

CM Punk Wins WWE Title! Leaves WWE With The Belt! Cena Fired!
CM Punk defeated John Cena last night to win the WWE championship on his last night with the company. After winning Vince tried to have Alberto Del Rio cash in his MIB title match but Del Rio was instantly stopped by Punk. Afterwards Rio jumped the guard rail and escaped into the city of his hometown, Chicago, where he was seen partying (soberly of course) all night with the belt and the citizens of Chicago.
I dont know what this means for John Cena and the future of the WWE title or Punk for that matter. I can not wait to watch Raw tonight and find out!

Christian Wins Second World Title, Destroyed By Orton Post Match
After spitting in the face of Randy Orton during their match, a fuming Orton kicked the holy bejeezus out of Christian's groin and thus was disqualified from the match. Usually the title can't change hands that way but as you readers recall, Christian had a special contract written up so that if Orton was disqualified he would lose the title. After the match Orton absolutely obliterated Christian.
Alberto Del Rio Wins Raw Money In The Bank
After winning the second ladder match last night, Alberto Del Rio has a guaranteed WWE Heavyweight title match whenever and wherever he wants for the next 12 months.
Daniel Bryan Wins Smackdown Money In The Bank
After winning last night's ladder match, Daniel Bryan now has a guaranteed World Title Match whenever and wherever he chooses in the next 12 months.
