The Brains Week in review.
Posted: November 9, 2010 in UncategorizedSorry for missing last week noVaKnights it was a busy week with Halloween, a new line of phones launching at work and Alex Van Dam and myself launching our new website on the latest tech, Video game, and Movie news. Please go check it out if your a nerd like me and in to that kinda thing. www.sonicengine.net.
Now on to interweb news! A “LinkIn” profile for Shane ‘oMac was released… The first son of wrestling claims he created wwe.com… Perhaps he and Al Gore should hang out… They can hunt ManBearPig together. A protester at Linda McMahons rally shoved a girl… It gets better… He shoved her because he was standing up for womans rights and standing against the unfair and sexiest treatment of women in the WWE… Yea guys I couldnt make this stuff up if I tried. Well rumors of roster cut have started, and while the names of guys, if any, that are on the block haven’t leaked. Though the names of a few divas have, The Bellas, Rosa Mendez, Alicia Fox, Tiffany, and most shookingly Gail Kim. Gail is one of, if not the most talented, diva on the roster so its a shame we may lose her.
WWE Monday Night Raw. Well I could just say I hated Raw and leave it at that but, Lita and Steph McMahon two of the hottest woman in wrestling and fantasy dream girls of my childhood made cameos. The Steph one was a cute and cleaver way of promoting Lindas campain without out right saying to go out and vote for her. As for the Lita one… I dont know why WWE would tease me like that… I cant talk about her any longer… Pee Wee Herman? Yea why to keep things PG… Really? Though the Kovloz vs Sheamus match was kinda fun as was Big Show vs The Miz. But the rest of the card other the seeing the gorgeous McCool was… Well…. It sucked… Not much else to say… But seeing Lita, the Vince-Steph-Prince jr segment, and The Miz was enough to save a very very very bad show with a even worse guest host. Raw gets a 2 out of 5 stars.
TNA Impact. Wow… The last hour of Impact was amazing! Oh wait thats right we watched Its Always Sunny and The League, and the fast forward througj the second hour. And dispite watching it in fast forward it didnt improve. Another week goes by and we dont see the TNA Knockouts Champ Madison Rayne, they wait until the last minute to tell us who the new number one is and the PPV was only 4 days way… The whole show was a mess we got two knockout matches, well one and a 6 person mixed tag match in a hour. Thats just crap… And the entire opening segment was just… I dont even know what to say about Bischoff in his little karate gear. If it wasn’t for Sunny and the League my Thursday would have been ruined. Impact gets a 1 out of 5 stars… And I think thats giving them a little to much credit.
WWE Smackdown! Well SD! had a off week this week, because for the first time in I don’t know how long I was bored by the Blue Brand this week… Yet still blew away the other wrestling shows this week. The in-ring work was good, in some cases very good. It was the little things that bothered me. IE Kane helping against the Nexus. One Kane, like the Nexus are heels. Two the Nexus were the ones that helped Kane retain the title at Braggong Rights… Remember? Clearly WWE didn’t… But Smackdown still earned a 3 out or 5 stars.
TNA Turning Point. Did you see Turning Point? No good for you! What a fucking disaster of a wrestling show… Read the reviews and make your own judgement… But I give it 0 out of 5 stars. I think im gonna stop watching TNA all together…
Nicky B The Brain…
Top 10!
Posted: October 26, 2010 in UncategorizedSo the noVawPodcast team participates in Jason Mann of Wrestlespective on twitter awesome weekly power poll! Well this week im sure he wont take us serious… But either way ive decide not only should you follow Jason on twitter @wrestlespective for the real and much more acturite power poll, I the brain have decided to post the noVa top 10 results that my partner and bff the Wizard sent to Jason last night…
Enjoy…
1. Jeff Hardy: Jailbird continued his roll and his heel turn has been has been just amazing and the best thing TNA has going… Its too bad TNA cant afford Cattering…
2. Brian Danielson…. I wont use his slave name. 2 clean wins over Dolph and hands down the best match at Bragging Rights and Raw.
3. Dolph Ziggler. See Danielson, and come on the guy has a freaking 8 pack…
4. Darren McFadden… Yea good game… Just be expecting rape charges filed against you sir… God damn fantasy football…
5. Kane. Come on? Hed be higher but look whos above him?
6. Team Smackdown! They won Bragging Rights for the second year in a row, and Edge is on a roll.
7. Santino. A clean win over Sheamus last night on Monday… Could this be the rise of the cobra? Yea probably not but hey the guys funny.
8. Eve Torres. Cuz she finally looked good… Lets keep her off the mic and in tight little dresses and no dancing and ill put her on the list every week!
9. LayCool. For making me laugh… And looking damn good while doing it… And just looking good…
10. C.M. Punk. Cuz its his bday… And he is the best commintaor in all of pro wrestling!
WWE has the dumbest and worst PPV concept on tap tonight, and dispite not caring about this lame concept, my self (the Brain) and the Wizard have taken time away from football to give you are picks!
Goldust vs Ted Diabiase Jr. This is WWEs last minute match… Because they could add the tag titles? I guess the tag titles mean about as much as… Well any of the TNA titles and myself and most of the WWE universe love the golden one so this is the better pick.
The Brains (me) pick: Goldust, if he lost then Teddy has his dumb belt back and this feud has no reason to continue.
The Wizards pick: Ted… Because I am tHe Wizard!
Layla w. Michelle McCool vs Natayla for the WWE Divas Championship. Natayla is the best worker in the division, and a Beth vs Natayla match would be great for the Divas division… But… Beth needs revenge on McCool first, so as much as most hate them… I love them and am happy to say…
The Brains pick: Layla El.
The Wizards pick: My british crumpet… Miss Layla.
WWE US Champion Daniel Brian vs WWE Intercontanental Champion Dolph Ziggler. Either Title is on the line so this is the last we will see of these two fighting for a while. Dolph will get alot of offence and itll be a good 11 to 15 minute match out of two good works and they may even steal the show.
The Brains Pick: D Brian, he needs the win more. Us marks know how great he is but non internet fans may not, and he needs to beat a few top guys. Either way great match from two guys that will be future WWE World Champs.
The Wizards Pick: Danielson… I wont use his slave name…
Team Raw (Miz, Sheamus, C.M. Punk, Morrison, R-Truth, Big Zeck, and Santino) vs Team Smackdown! (Big Show, Edge, Rey Mystrio, Alberto Del Rio, Tyler “Jesus with Dreadlocks” Recks,Kofi, and Jack Swagger). On paper the blue brand is effing stacked! 4 former Worlds Champions, 2 future and Jesus with Dreadlocks! And Raw has C.M. Punk and Sheamus…. Well and of course the Awesome one The Miz. I heard Vince wants to push SD as the top brand for a while plus Big Show won it last year so it would make senses to make this the Big Show nitch… Though im hoping this is the last time ill have to see Bragging Rights…
The Brains Pick: The Miz is the last man standing but Show knocks him out. Smackdown wins for the second year in a row.
The Wizards Pick: Team Raw… Big Zeck…
Randy Orton vs Wade Barrett w. John Cena. This can go two ways. They ruin everything and Cena quits and leaves Barrett to get killed by the Viper, or Cena helps Barrett get his first WWE title. Actully 3 ways because their is the Cena helps Barrett and turns heel and then the much more boring and likely finish where he helps Barrett but it tears him up inside.
The Brains Pick: Wade “the Champ” Barrett…. Sadly it wont be with a full Cena heel turn… But a overacting Cena reluctidly attacking Orton… But Barrett gets the belt non the less.
The Wizards Pick: Orton….
The Undertaker vs Kane w. Paul Bearer for the World Heavyweight Championship. I thought they should save this for Takers 20th Anniversity at Survivor Series but now I hear he needs to take time off before Mania for surgery… So I guess go for it here. Either way this is the match im.most looking forward to seeing.
The Brains Pick: Kane after Brock Lesner attacks the Deadman… Ok all joking aside. I dont think Taker should win until SS and if he is taking time off then Kane has to win. This is gonna be a good one though… Or it maybe the Taker Mark in me that thinks so…
The Wizards Pick: Lamp? I mean what is Kane?
There you go noVaKnights!
Enjoy Bragging Rights
The Brain Nicky B.
Awww another week behind us…
Interweb news! Big Sexy Kevin Nash maybe offically gine from TNA but still has a lot to say about TNA and WWE booking. Nash said that TNA doesnt know how to book heels. Say for example Fortune had potentional to be huge and they had real heat after the first night the left EV2 laying in their own blood but then blew it having EV2 get their revenge the next week. Heel need to contiune to get the upperhand until the end of the feud. Now his WWE comments as much as I love the guy I cant agree with him on this one. Nash went on to say the WWEs youth movement was a mistake. I have to agree with Chris Jericho when he fired back as said Nash was wrong and is a idiot. WWE has the highest flyers DVD. In the commercial I didnt see one Hardy Boyz clip! I wonder have they been removed for the DVD or they just didnt want to advertise The TNA champ was in the DVD?
WWE Raw. A Smackdown! filled Raw was actually very good. Maybe because im a bigger SD! fan. The Zeck Jackson return was pretty cool. Im glad hes back and it adds a intetesting dynamic to Raw and Bragging Rights. Though im totally confused why Alberto Del Rio and Rey Rey are completly cool with hanging out now? Im not a huge Teddy Long guy, in fact I think him as a GM is completly played out, but I dig him unplugging the Raw GM computer. And shutting Micheal Cole the hell up! The battle royal was fun and im glad the last guys were Edge and Big Show. Team Smackdown is looking stacked and their hot heading in to friday night Smackdown! I enjoyed the hell out of Raw, it earned a 4 out of 5.
WcW Thunder! I mean TNA Impact, now that the NWO have showed up its getting harder and harder to tell… All kidding aside Jeff “Jailbird” Hardy is surprising the hell out of me. I was unsure how I felt about his heel turn but I said id give it some time. And damn Hardy is killing it! I hate the Hogan and Bischoff are running the company, I hate that Fortune and NWO2010 have joined forces, but I love Heel Hardy. Though for the love of god dont ever give that man a steal chair again! He almost killed poor Mr Anderson. And another thing! I sat through two hours of shity wrestling had to see over 20 clips of Jailbird Hardy (trust me, we counted) and I got no Madison Rayne? What thr fuck! Dear TNA she is your TNA Knockout Champion… Remember? I fucking hate TNA so much… And they contiune to give away matches that they call a staple of TNA… Then why give us a Ultimite X match for free? Hell the in-ring work wasnt even that great. Impact and Reaction was 3 long, painful hours of wrestling… You have to be as high as RVD to enjoy this crap. Impact gets a .5 out of 5… Would have giving it a 1 but Madison was no where to be found…
WWE Smackdown! Well of course Smackdown does it again! The best damn Wrestling show of the week! Raw invades abd Team SD! still gets the clean sweep over Team Raw, and we even get a 5 star match out of Edge and C.M. Punk. I mean dont get me wrong all the in-ring work was good! Even Santino vs Swagger was a good match, Edge, Punk was just a few steps above all the rest. And also the divas tag team match… Layla looked great in Natyalas wrestling gear, in fact she looks better in her gear then Natyla does and makes a hot blond and a sexy beared lady… and Michelle makes a smoking hot Bret Hart… But Natty winning on SD is a pretty great sign LayCool will retain sunday. Then the main event, and Kane and Orton did what Kane and Orton always do, and put on a awesome match. And Orton saved face for Raw getting them a win in the end. Alson im still most looking forward to Kane vs Undertaker at Bragging Rights, their end segment where Taker pulled Kane under the ring was awesome and creepy! This feud is perfect for SD on SyFy. The Blue brand gets a 4 out of 5 this week.
Thanks noVaKnights! Stay posted my Bragging Rights picks will be up sometime in the next day.

The Brains week in review.
Posted: October 16, 2010 in Impact!, Raw, Smackdown, TNA Reviews, WWE reviewsDid you guys know Snookie was a creepy little monstar, thing… I wasnt even sure what a Snookie was but now thanks to South Park im all up to date on all things Jersey related. I wish someone would kill those idiots… If I have to hear “oh your Italian, like (insert gay as fuck Jersey nickname here) one more fucking time im gonna be updating this site from prison because ill kill the cast of Jersey Shore my self!
Now on to my favorite topic of the week Madison Rayne! No wait Interweb news… So its been a busy week. Matt “ima loser” Hardy took a shot at Lita in one of his shit YouTube videos. Id like to know what runs through his retarded head when he makes those videos? On to the other Hardy, Jail Bird Jeff, he took a shot at WWE and the Nexus angle. I hate to break it to you Hardy but that Nexus angle is better then anything shit ass TNA has done all year! Where do these two piece of shit get off bad mouthing WWE? Look in the mirror girls if it wasnt for Vince and the WWE you guys would be nothing! TNA woild want you two fucking losers! The only reason they do is because they think you two have some kinda of name value! Well you dont! No one stoped watching WWE when Jeff left and no one will when the fat brother leaves either! And no one started watching TNA because you went there! And then to today… 10/15/2010 WWE makes a public announcement, World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Matt Hardy effective oct 15 2010. Well you piece of shit, you got what you wanted WWE has broke down and let your ass go. Congrats now you will never amount to anything… Ok… Now that I got that of my chest have you seen X-Pacs newest YouTube video? Waltman and my all time favorite Kevin Nash are hammered drunk crying about X-Pacs past troubles. Then go on to take shots at Van Dam and Hardy about how they think their rockstars and have no really drawing power! Which is completly true. The Miz was on Attack of the Show on G4, AOTS is one of my favorite shows and Miz has been on it a few times and as always was very very entertaining. He even brought his Money in the Back case with him. Daniel Brian had a interview where he addressed being released and returning to the WWE. He went on to say he ate cupcakes for two weeks after his return and could believe when he got the phone call to come back. And said that Summer Slam main event was hands down the highlight of his career! When Danielson we hear at noVa are happy for you and look forward to following your WWE career.
TNA Bound for Glory. Wow they really let us down on this one. Motor City and Gen Me had a great match. Van Dam and Abyss had a fairly good match as well, at least the live crowd was really into it. The rest of the card was bad! The main event would have been good if not for the dirty and completly lame finish! Now we all knew Hogan and Bischoff were “they” we just just didnt know if Angle or Anderson were gonna join them. Well TNA actually did something right and surprised us! I understand the argument against turn Cena heel, but lets be honest with one another Jeff even as the most popular guy in TNA was not and will never be on the same level as John Cena… Never… And once more Jeff is weird and dark and I honestly think he’ll make a good heel. I think the move to turn him was probably last minute but TNA has done a lot worse in the last few months, and im kinda interested in seeing where this is heading. So for once ill hold my judgement until this angle plays out a little more. TNA BFG earned a 1 out of 5 stars.
WWE Monday night Raw. STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!! WWE Raw was a wrestling heavy show!!! And most of the match were good TV matches. Morrison vs Kidd was good. I didnt like the idea of breaking up the Dynasty but I am looking forward to Kidd as a singles wrestler. Gabrial vs Orton was very good and it made Gabrial look good in defeat, sure he didnt win but in my opinion the WWE Champ should never lose unless hes dropping the title. Even though he lost he looks more like a individual now then just one of Barretts goons. I like Santino being part of team Raw because I like him and would like to see him as a in-ring threat as well as a comedy routine. And the main event was great, I loved Miz going over because he made more senses as team captain and if hes gonna be WWE Champ one day soon he should be able to beat Cena with a little help from McGillicutty and Husky. And Miz made Cena look go in the ring. Over all id have to give Raw a 4 out of 5 stars! I found it entertaining. I love wrestling heavy wrestling shows and this was a good one!
On to TNA Impact. Though im not sure if you can call that a wrestling show… A very very talk heavy show to follow up BFG. Now I agree and liked the opening segment. TNA has put all the chips in this “They” baskit so I totally agree with a half an hour segment to open the show with the Imorrtal sega. I was totally look forward to seeing how Jeff “jailbird” Hardys heel promo and I was happy with the resalts. I really think hes gonna be a very good heel. I like that hes the center piece but they didnt let him do all the talking. But Impact only went down hill fast after that, we only got three matches, well four if you count the knockout title match, but I enjoyed that one seeing as how the most gorgeous woman in all of wrestling Madison Rayne got her bling back. But come on 6 on 1 and Fortune who has the best wrestler in the World AJ Styles needed to cheat to beat Pope? Come on 6 guys needed to cheat to beat 1… Really? Then Samoa Joe, a man that should be main eventing, and Abyss that should have been a good match ended in a stupid DQ. And the main event took up half of reaction for a shity finished? Fucking gay! Thanks TNA for giving us something we actually were looking forward to seeing on your shity product and then reminding us why we didnt like watching you fucking shity product to start… Impact gets a .5 out of 5. Congrats TNA you mangened to get me excited in your product and then never want to watch that shit again… In just a matter 4 days… But dont worry Matt Hardy is a free agent now, im sure that will help your product… You like Jeff did….
WWE Smackdown! Well Smackdown was the besy show of the week as usual. It was wrestling heavy like always and all the matches were pretty good. Cody vs Rey was awesome! Cody is so damn good! He is a future main eventer for a very very long time! I mean Rey is always good but in the ring with Rhodes they put on a 5 star match. Swagger vs MVP was pretty good as well, though Swagger looks like a clown with that dumb ass Eagle and MVP is just boring me… But the match its self was fairly good. I guess they all cant be good though because Alberto match sucked but Alberto is still on his way to being a whole star. Edge vs Ziggler stole the freaking show! It was so damn good! I said Rey and Cody was a 5 star match by those standerds Edge vs Ziggler gets a 6 out of 5 stars! Damm good match! What the hell happened to Tyler Rekks he looks like he fell In To nukelar waste and became a monstar… But I do like his new gimmick because that surfer shit was lame! But i am upset Kaval isnt on team Smackdown! He looks like jesus with dreadlocks. Team Smackdown is stacked I mean 4 former World Champs and 2 future Champs and Jesus with Dreadlocks. And hot damn did you hear Paul Bearers promo? That guy still has it! It gave me chills! Kane was on point as usual as well, though Im thinking the buried Alive match should be the blow of match, and I think it should be saved for Survivor Series. The Taker Kane stuff is a bit corny but it fits since their on the SyFy network. It could be a good match though, thr only card im looking forward too at least. Between Kane and Bearers excellent promos and the 5 star matches on the show Smackdown earned a huge 5 out of 5 stars! Awesome awesome show by the Blue Brand!
Well noVaKnights thanks for reading!

The Brain Picks Bound for Glory 2010
Posted: October 10, 2010 in UncategorizednoVaKnights the Brain picks more then his nose, because im picking Tonights TNA Bound for Glory! Will you be disapointed? Probably! Will they turn out to Bischoff? Absolutly! Well they manage to over book their pretty good card? Oh Hell Yes! So here we go!
“They”. If you follow me on Twitter or read any of my Blogs (if you dont then you suck) you know my thoughts on “They”. I was a WcW guy to the very end, so the formation of the NWO was one of the highlights of my childhood, next to lossing my virginity, ok maybe slightly lower then losing my virginity but whatever. The point is Hogan turning heel and forming the NWO waa the start of the greatest time frame in Pro Wrestling history! The Monday Night Wars, and the Adittude Era. All Bischoff, Hogan and Russo and anyone else booking in Total Nonsenses Wrestling are capable of doing in rehashing used old storylines. So I dont see a Hogan and Bischoff heel turn far fetched. Besides if anything it makes TNA a little more interesting. I mean the only reason I want to see Bound for Glory is to see who “They” actually are.
TNA Title Kurt Angle vs Mr. Anderson vs Jeff “Bubba’s Prison Bitch” Hardy. So say the ending has been given any by Angle saying he’ll retire but its not a actual stipulation so I think Anderson goes over and is part of “They”. Or even better because i enjoy heel Angle more, Kurt wins and is part of “They”. Whatever the outcome dont count Hardy in… No way in hell their putting the belt on him. This match sounds great on paper and I think itll deliver… Until the finish. Look for “They” to help who ever it happens to be. My Pick: Mr. Anderson…. ANDERSON!!! I called this one when he debut.
RVD vs Abyss in a Monsters Ball Match. I said before I can suspend my believes for alot of things but this Abyss hurting and kidnapping people and no one bothering to call the cops is just… Unbelieveable. If their gonna fire Abyss on Thursday why even let Van Dam fight him? On PPV where you have to pay him… And im guessing this is where “They” or Bischoff shows up… Please dont let that form Dixie signed thinking it was Abyss release papers be handing the power over to Bischoff… My Pick: Abyss.
Sting, Big Sexy Kevin Nash and The Pope vs Samoa Joe and Jeff Jarrett. My guess here is we may get “They” here too. And Nash and Sting turn out to be right. Id like Joe to be with “they”… maybe you know tie in the kidnapping storyline they forgot about. Or maybe Joe’s Feast or Fired case they forgot about? I hate TNA… But I say Joe and Jarrett wins and Joe turns out to be part of “They” and a beat down to Nash, Sting and Jarrett follows. My Pick: like I said Joe and Double J.
Lethal Lockdown match, EV2.0 vs Fortune. So do you know whos even in this match? Have they bothered to tell us who is repersenting EV2.0 aside from Dreamer? Or which members of Fortune are in the match? No no they havent… Oh well the match will be bore fest that will have Flair get busted open and have way more blood then needed to get their point across. My Pick: Fortune, abd hopeful all the EV2 guys aside from Stevie go back to whatever they were doing.
The TNA Knockouts Title fatal four way, Angelina Love vs Velvet Sky vs Tara vs The most beautiful woman in all of wrestling Madison Rayne, with Mickie James the special enforcer. Well Mickie was dumb enough to call Madison the Knockout Champion on Impact, so either Mickie is a idiot and didnt bother paying attention to the company she is now working for or she just slipped up and the love of my life Madison is getting her bling back. My pick: for more reasons the because Mickie fucked up and because i wanna see gorgeous Madison with the belt, my pick is Rayne because Mickie is a face so needs the bitch heel to chase.
TNA tag Titles Motor City Machine Guns vs Gen Me. I was hoping this would be a Ultimate X match but maybe they can lead to that in the future if this feud continues. My Pick: Motor City they are the best in the world they need to shine a lot longer!
TNA X Division Title match Jay Lethal vs Doug Williams. I didnt know this match was even on the card or that they still had this title? My pick: Jay Lethal.
Ink Inc. vs Olando Jordan and Eric Young. Why this is on the card of your biggest PPV is your guess, but it really shouldnt be… My Pick: im not planing on watch this match… Ok for real Ink Inc, their at least a real team.
Ok guys enjoy the show and Jim the Wizards Tweet-a-long.
Another week has come and gone which can only mean one thing! Im not wearing pants… and I must be writing my Week in Review!
Interweb news! C.M. Punk maybe going to Raw, but says hed rather go to NXT and bring Steve “Mongo” McMicheals with him… Believe it or not I totally had a Mongo action figure when I was younger. Still not sure how this is actually news but hey if your on twitter and dont follow C.M. Punk you are a idiot. Hands down the greatest tweeter in well the history of twitter… Melina asks fans to not follow JoMo in bathrooms to ask him for his autograph… My guess Melina if their following him in to the bathroom they want more then a autograph… In totally unrelated non wrestling news, Emma Stone was cast to play Gwen Stacy… You know the gorgeous red head from Zombieland and Easy A was cast to play Spidermans blond fling as suppose to the red head he ends up marrying. So my guess is and spoiler alert I read all the comics, the gorgeous Emma Stone will be killed off like Stacy is in the comic. Lets hope she makes it through the first movie at least. NXT is now online… And still no one watched… I cant wait for it to be over and AJ and Katlyin to be on Raw or Smackdown so I can enjoy looking at them without dealing with the crap that comes with NXT. Remember when your mom told you, you couldnt have your cake and eat it too? Well mom Aj and Katlyin will be off NXT soon enough… On another note why would you even want cake if you couldnt eat it? So WWE is trying to get Justin Beiber to sing the National Anthem at Wrestle Mania 27… And the thing I find mist interesting is that people online and on Twitter care who singing the fucking song! Hey I think that Beiber kid is a efging fag too and I dont ever wanna hear his ass sing one of his songs and once more dont wanna see him host Raw or anything like that, but lets be real hes a huge celeb and WWE always brings in the biggest and brightest for Wrestle Mania. Is it really that big of a deal if the kid sings a song that takes a minute and a half? And I thought I complaned alot… Big Sexy Kevin Nash announced on twitter Friday night that Bound for Glory will be his last match and its time for the big guy to be a father and husband. I’m still holding out on the small chance big Kev will make one last WWE run and be put in the Hall of Fame this year like he so rightly deserves. But if this really is good bye… Then thank you Kevin Nash you are my all time favorites and one of the best talking in the history of the buiness. Hall of Fame or not ill always consider you the Best!
On to WWE Raw. Did you know there was a PPV sunday? I mean with anyother matches aside from Cena vs Barrett? If a casual wrestling fan had tuned in they would have had no idea there was a PPV… They didnt even mention their WWE Champion until the last minute of the show. It was like were going backwards from last weeks pretty good Raw to this… Its like the entire WWE at least on Raw, is all written around John Cena and the Nexus… Nothing else matters in Raw world. Though I like that McGillacutty and Husky are in… Though I heard WWE has put out the patient on KKK… And after they kick Otunga out their gonna change the name of the Nexus… I dont get it, how are Tarver and Young out and maybe Otunga too soon but Heath Slater is hands down the worst! Am I in the twilight zone? Im still crossing my fingers that Cena turns on Orton and helps Barrett win the belt and it starts Cenas heel turn! I know it would hurt merch sales! But it would blow the roof off of ratings and attendance! It would bring wrestling back to the promise land! And why did after giving him the belt and having him beat a future WWE champion (The Miz) twice they have Brian get smashed by Sheamus? Yea I really believe Miz can mainevent now… The dude he couldnt beat just got steam rolled… For what? Sheamus isnt getting a title shot. If hes even on the bragging rights card he’ll end up just being part of team Raw. What happened to wrestling booking? Its like WWE and TNA have no grasp on what fans wanna see… And Edge gets traded to Smackdown which I knew would happen but they dont bother to tell us for who? My guess is they have no clue who it is yet and thats why they didnt say… Hell I forgot that the GMs could even do that… But Michelle was there, Maryse looked effing gorgeous and Knoxville fucking rules! So Raw wasnt all bad… But until The Game makes his return and WWE stops the shity booking and remembers the WWE Championship is bigger the John Cena Raw is gonna have a hard time to improve… 2 out of 5… Yea I judge on a harder scale then most. Truefully my rating goes by how entertaining and if the show was interesting enough to catch my attention and honestly I was bored and guessed the ending like im sure most everyone did after I heard what the mainevent was…
TNA Impact… So creative had a good two maybe three weeks to write a huge show for this live Impact… And they… Fell short… Very very very very very… Ill say it again… Very short. Lets review! Abyss kidnapps the owner and still hasnt been fired. I can suspend my belives for alot of things but what gets me is it took this long for Dixie to fire him, and then while hes kidnapping her the TNA staff and wrestlers dont even bother to, maybe you know help their boss? Why didnt they the cops? Or even better why let Abyss in that battle royal at the end of the show? And ima use my knowledge of Russo and Bischoff and assume that that form Dixie signed was transfer of power to Bichoff and what im hoping evil Hogan. Did you guys see Madison Rayne? My god! I thought she was the most gorgeous woman in wrestling before, but now with her brown hair… My god! She may be the most gorgeous woman ever!!! Shes just so cute and tiny and has the screchy voice… My god im in love… And did you know Smarks like myself and probably anyone that will take the time to read this, would pay PPV prices to see Ric Flair vs Mick Foley is a last man standing match. Yet TNA gave it away for free… And didnt even put it in the main event spot. Really? The untimed battle royal was put over this? Shit the knockouts had a better match then the Battle Royal! While im on the Battle Royal… TNA cant even do that right, what exactly was the time frame between wrestlers? And why did it take RVD 10 minutes to get out there? Was he so stonded he forgot he had to wrestle? TNA usually does a good job hyping stuff they just dont deliver and this was another example… Except this time they dont even bother hyping their biggest PPV of the year. But they did find time to waste on Eric Young and Orlando Jordan… Oh TNA… You earned a 1.5 out of 5… And to be honest the 1 out of 5 goes to Madison Rayne…
Now on to the Blue Brand Smackdown! Which wasnt great but still as usual the best wrestling show of the week. Lets talk about the weak points. Dashing DMc beats Kofi and Kaval, and worse Kaval took another pin. Now I hate seeing champs lose non title matches so tjem winning is not my issue, this could be a awesome feud since WWE seems hell bent on spliting up all their really tag teams, but Kaval and Kofi would at least need so offence abd they were smashed! This Undertaker, Kane feud is getting to SyFy for me but Kane was good as usual on the mic, and I dug the hinting at a inferno match. I know there is talk of them going in a buried alive at Bragging Rights but I think that needs to be the blow off match so they need to save it for Survivor Series. Did you see Michelle McCool? She was gorgeous last night! But the match was bad as most divas matches are. I like the Big Show being the team Captian of team Smackdown! but the stuff with Hornswaggle and the Dudebusters was corny and stupid and could have lived with out that. Now on the posative side Alberto Del Rio vs Rey was good. Their styles dont mess great but it was still a very good match. And I dont wanna see MVP beat Dolph and think he needs a heel turn but in the mean time until Dolph is main event ready this is a good feud, but needs to be more about Dolphs relationship with Vickie and Katliyn then about MVP so hopefully Doplh continues to get the upperhand. Smackdown! has been better much better but it blew Raw and Impact away, so the Blue Brand earned a 2.5 out of 5 stars. A rough week for wrestling but im rough on them because I know they can do alot better then what we have been getting.
Well noVaKnights this has been the Brains Week in Review. Thanks for reading and check back my Bound for Glory picks will be up tomorrow.
Nicky B the Brain!
Its time for the Wizard and I to pick more then our noses and make our picks for tonights PPV… If you can call it that… These picks are made with no insider knowledge, in short were just guessing like you… Only were better at it.
World Heavyweight Champion Kane vs The Undertaker in Hell in a Cell. Logic and shity WWE booking would dictate that the revitalized Undertaker with Paul Bearer would get the win in his favorite play ground but that would be the insanely stupid with the Undertakers 20 annaversery at Survivor Series this year, but WWE does a lot of stupid stuff.
The Brains Pick: WWE wont screw up the best thing going right now, at least I hope not, so I say Paul Bearer turns on the dead man Kane gets the win and Taker digs deep to finally get the big win at Surviver Series.
The Wizards pick: Kane, cuz im a wizard…
WWE Champion Randy “The Viper” Orton vs Sheamus. My guess is this is the blow off match, I cant think of another reason Orton would have won the belt at NOC.
The Brains pick: The Viper retains, even though I dont know where he goes from here, maybe a feud with the Nexus with Cena, but Sheamus moved in to a feud with the Game even though im still hoping for Triple H to return as a Heel.
The Wizards pick: Orton, cuz im a wizard…
John SuperCENA vs Wade Barrett, if SuperCENA wins the Nexus is done, if Barrett wins SuperCENA must join the Nexus. WWE has a golden opportunity here, so we all must pray to whatever fake god we believe in that they dont blow this one. Cena joining would be gold and a great chance to slowly turn Cena heel, he can hate the Nexus then turn on Orton down the road when Orton and Barrett fight for the gold, cuz its heading there Barrett is awesome and WILL BE a world champion.
The Brains pick: Wade Barrett. Cena winning does nothing and just ends everything they did to bring up Barrett. But no worries WWE isnt even dumb enough to blow a huge storyline opportunity with Barrett winning.
The Wizards picks: Wade Barrett… Yea cuz im a wizard…
U.S. Champion Daneal Brian vs The Miz vs John Morrison. The only reason JoMo was added to this match was so Miz doesnt have to take anothet lose. My guess is Morrisin turns heel and feuds with D Brian and Miz moves on to the WWE picture permanently.
The Brains pick: D Brian makes Morrison tap.
The wizards pick: Danealson…
WWE Divas Champion Michelle McCool vs Natalya. Ive been dying to see this one and BOOM! Here it is! Its not bringing in Awesome Kong or the return of Beth but until those things happen this is the best thing that can happen to the flat out bad divas division.
The Brains pick: like theres any doubt… McCool retains at least until Betn returns and beth wins it and moves in to a feud with Natty.
The Wizards picks: Natty… You know why… Im a wizard…
I’m sure theyll add a match or two to this PPV card… Again if you can call it that… Maybe Dolph vs MVP or Edge vs a desktop computer…
Well noVaknights tell us what think and enjoy the show…
