Smackdown (04.09.10)

WWE Smackdown
April 9, 2010
Chicago, IL
AllState Arena

We start off the program with a nice video package showcasing what happened last week when Jack Swagger cashed in his ‘Money in the Bank’ briefcase to win the World Heavyweight title from Chris Jericho. With that music at the end where Swagger is holding up the gold, are we supposed to feel bad that he’s the champion now as opposed to the evil Chris Jericho?

Your hosts are Todd Grisham & Matt Striker. Read the rest of this entry

The current WWE champs were as follows:

Some planes fly low over the stadium (which had to be REALLY loud) right before Fantasia sings the National Anthem. Dang, 2004 called. Then again, you wouldn’t want somebody new like Ke$ha appearing here either. Sorry, Slack. You don’t really want that to happen.

Royal Rumble 2010

Royal Rumble 2010, January 31, 2010, Phillips Arena, Atlanta, GA

Announcers: Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, & Matt Striker

So here we go with the first PPV of the new year and new decade, the Royal Rumble.  The undercard build has been pretty underwhelming to me, but I’m really looking forward to the Rumble itself as they’ve done a great job of building several guys into having legit reasons to win so if nothing else I expect it to deliver.

The 100 Greatest WWE Matches of the Decade: 2006 (VINTAGE MATT~! edition)

Since Justin and Scott have only reached 2003 in their reviews and any extra work added on them to watch the next forty matches would be difficult and just too much at this time of year (especially when they have their own awesome sports/wrestling/TV forum), I’ll be doing solo shots of the final three years of this ten part column. I want to thank Justin and Scott for ALL their hard work and dedication when they were just merely doing me a favor. Let me assure you, those two guys are good people.

Alright, enough of the man love. As I mentioned in the 2005 column, this is my 500th post here at the blog. The interesting part about that is this post is actually a repost of a column I did after covering all the 2006 PPVs for TheHistoryofWWE.com. Anyways, it’s really hard to believe I’ve spent this much time on a blog, but here we are two and a half years later. I hope you all enjoy this!

Let’s get to the year that was 2006. Read the rest of this entry
