Night of Champions thoughs

So, got off work tonight and checked out a bit of the pay-per-view and figured I'd throw down some quick thoughts.

  • -Vickie Guerrero still gets good heat...I remember being in Omaha for Judgment Day a few years ago and she got the biggest reaction of the night.
  • -Caitlan is gorgeous! However, AJ is one hundred times more beautiful, and she should win NXT Season Ridiculous!
  • -Hi...I'm Kofi Kingston's push, remember me? Oh, you don't? You don't remember me dropping the boom on Randy Orton at MSG?
  • -CM Punk is AWESOME! He turned his hometown Chicago crowd against him immediately! I'd almost pay the price of the PPV for his promos alone, always the best of the night.
  • -Big Show looks ridiculous with the bandanna on.
  • -Hopefully Punk can move on from this feud with Show, have a quick feud with Luke Gallows and get back into the main event. He was on a PPV called Night of Champions, and he isn't a champion.....interesting.
  • -The Miz truly is awesome....and so is Daniel Bryan, so happy for him tonight. What a long road to go down and ten years later you're living out your dream. Moments like this is why I love this business so much.
  • -I hope Kaval gets the same treatment as Bryan.
  • -I hate Lumberjill matches....can you please pander to the lowest common denominator of all WWE.
  • -Happy to see Lay-Cool will be sticking together, and now they have two shiny belts to carry around!
  • -I honestly skipped through the Kane/Undertaker match, mainly because it was late and I knew exactly what would happen...and I was pretty much spot on. This feud was obviously going to keep going on until they can collide where it all began...inside the Devil's Playground...the Monster...the Bloody....what? That's right...sorry....the non-Bloody WWE PG H-E-Double Hockey Sticks in a Cell!!
  • -I also skipped the Tag Team Turmoil Match, which I didn't want to do...I'll probably try to catch it again later. I am happy to see Cody Rhodes getting some valuable face time....too bad he is teamed with Drew McIntyre. I'd have rather seen Cody win the straps with Dolph Ziggler.
  • -Also, sad to see the belts taken off the Harts with such little fanfare, they could have at least made it through the first defense for goodness sake!
  • -Albert Del Rio is all kinds of win in my opinion and Dos Caras wanted to keep the mask. Child please! (Thank you Ochocinco)
  • -Gotta give a shout out to the WWE Production team. The video package for the Kane/Undertaker match (yes I watched it, but not the match...I love the video packages, sue me) and the WWE Championship match were phenomenal!
  • -Fella! I liked Sheamus' promo prior to the match. I also chuckled tonight when John Cena was talking about percentages and he said his line about Sheamus being made of 2% milk. I'm leaving with a smile on me face, and the WWE Championship on me shoulder.
  • -WTF! Dammit...Goodbye Chris Jericho. Please come back soon. You will be greatly missed greatly. Have fun being a rock star.
  • -Peace out Edge. The Rated PG Superstar just sounds funny....
  • -Wade Barrett just pinned John Cena on PPV, I never woulda guess that.
  • -Oh, see you later Wade, RKO!!!
  • -DAMN! RKO on Sheamus!!! NEW CHAMPION RANDY ORTON!!!
  • -I guess the WWE realized riding a wave of momentum with a guy like Randy Orton might be the way to go. Couldn't agree more Vince.
  • -Gratuitously long celebration. GO VIPER, GO! GO VIPER, GO!

Well, that wasn't a horrible PPV at all...well worth the money. Seriously though, PLEASE COME BACK SOON JERICHO!! PLEASE COME BACK AND SAVE US SOON!

I'll probably be back with some thoughts on RAW. Peace out White Stains!

TMDN WWE Monday Night RAW Power Rankings (for the week of 09/14/10)

Hello all. Welcome to the first edition of THE MODERN DAY NERD'S WWE RAW Power Rankings. A weekly look at who I belive to the be the best of the best in everyones favorite scripted non-sports entertainment world of professional wrestling that is the WWE. Today we look at the Monday Night RAW roster. And here...we....GO!

Monday Night RAW

10. Goldust

Sneaks onto my top ten at the last minute following his EPIC use of the "Power of the Punch" on The Joker...err, uh..William Regal on Raw.

9. Daniel Bryan

His continual embarrassment of The Miz will only help him climb the list. I will mark out like a little kid if he locks The Miz in Cattle Mutilation at Night of Champions.

8. The Miz

Let's get this out of the way. THE MIZ IS AWESOME!!! I rank him low only because he has become Daniel Bryan's bitch, but I rank him just a spot higher than his arch rival due to this carrying the United States Championship and that little briefcase he is carrying around, which has become an afterthought.

7. Chris Jericho

Following an awesome match with Morrison last week, Jericho has a great little cage match with the Hart Dynasty, or basically Tyson Kidd. Is he leaving the company? Who knows, but I greatly enjoyed his back and forth with Michael "Mysterious GM" Coleslaw on Monday Night.

6. Edge

The Rated R Superstar seems to have a common enemy with Y2J. Edge could be a dark-horse to win the WWE Championship Sunday, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I think a certain mysterious GM will have something to say about that.

5. John Morrison

The Monday Night Delight has had two great outings recently. First against Chris Jericho and this week against WWE Champion Sheamus. I like that WWE is incorporating his parkour training into his character...this guy deserpately needed a nudge creativly. I see big things in his future.

4. Sheamus

The Celtic Warrior has really been more of a Human Jar of Mayonaise lately. He was well on his way to losing to John Morrison Monday night, and he is probably the least likely to win this Sunday. Which means he'll more than likely retain.

3. John Cena

The Doctor of Thuganomics has been on a bit of a losing streak lately, but still looks strong heading into Night of Champions. Can he become WWE Champion once again?

2. Wade Barrett

The leader of the Nexus has the numbers game in his corner heading into the Six Man Elimination Match at Night of Champions. However one man seems to be a thorn in Mr. Barrett's side heading into Sunday....

1. Randy Orton

That man is Randy Orton. The Apex Predator of the WWE Universe has been on a roll since...damn, since Wrestlemania. It's like Oprah is the guest star of Raw and "you get an RKO and you get an RKO and you get an RKO and you get an RKO!" The Viper will be WWE Champion before the end of the year. Count on it.

Dont forget, Night of Champions is this Sunday night. So far the card looks like this....

CM Punk v. The Big Show

WWE Women's Championship/Diva's Championship Unification Lumberjill Match

Divas Champion Melina v. Women's Champion Layla El or Michelle McCool

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match (Ziggler can lose via count out or disqualification)

Champion Dolph Ziggler w/Vickie Guerrero v. Kofi Kingston

WWE United States Championship Match

Champion The Miz v. Daniel Bryan

World Heavyweight Championship Match

Champion Kane v. The Undertaker

WWE Championship Six Pack Challenge Elimination Match

Champion Sheamus v. John Cena v. Randy Orton v. Wade Barrett v. Chris Jericho v. Edge

And if you are going to have a pay-per-view called Night of Champions you'd expect all championships to be defended, but I guess they'll just throw The Hart Dynasty on without advertisement against two members of The Nexus and the Harts will lose...just you wait and see.

PEACE OUT WHITE STAINS!

I'm back

Hey all....guess what? I'm back. I'm gonna start throwing up alot of stuff, just for fun...just to have a blog. Maybe I'll get some followers and maybe I won't. I've often claimed I would start tending to this blog on a regular basis many times before. I've obviously lied...many times before. So take my word with a grain of salt, but I'll be back. I'll be talking about all the nerdy shit I enjoy, and I'll also be celebrating the greatest little city in the world...DES MOINES. I love this damn city...too many times I've heard people say they wish they could move somewhere else. Why would you want to do that...this place is awesome...and if you keep checking back with me, I'll explain to you why.

Take care for now you dorks...until next time. Peace.
