New Blood Gets Raw Back on Track
Posted on 1 Jun 2010 by Pete Copeland.
In honor of the ongoing Stanley Cup Final (and the fact that the Flyers are down two-games-to-none), I decided to present my Raw Rewind in a “plus/minus” format. Here goes: PLUS – Evan Bourne. Not sure if this is going to really be a big push for Bourne or not, but he was great, while bookending the show. During the open, he scrapped with Edge. Then, he was John Cena’s tag partn...

`Taker’s Return Saves SmackDown from Mediocrity
Posted on 29 May 2010 by Pete Copeland.
I am purposely going to keep my expectations low for this episode of SmackDown. This way, I can’t possibly end up as disappointed as the last week or so of WWE programming has left me after a so-so Pay-Per-View on Sunday, and a pretty bad Monday Night Raw. An announcement at the top of the show says that the Undertaker is returning to TV tonight…things are looking up already! SmackDown GM...

A Prelude to Black on Black Crime
Posted on 29 May 2010 by Martin Foster.
After what’s been about 15 months of build up, today is the day of the much anticipated battle between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and “Suga” Rashad Evans. I’m not really one for breaking down fights but I figured why not throw my thoughts out there since everyone else seems to be. Rashad is the more versatile fighter in terms of his skill set. His boxing is solid, despite commo...

‘Limit’-ed Surprises, But PPV Entertains Anyway
Posted on 23 May 2010 by Pete Copeland.
It’s WWE’s “Over-the-Limit” live from Detroit, Michigan. Cool set with a couple of cars flanking the stage in a nod to the “Motor City, “ as the pyro hits and Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and Matt Striker welcome us to the Joe Louis Arena. And Si!!! Hugo Savinovich and Carlos Cabrera are in the house handling the Spanish-language broadcast. Wonder which match features the destr...

SmackDown Snoozefest and PPV Picks
Posted on 22 May 2010 by Pete Copeland.
If you weren’t already planning on buying WWE’s “Over the Limit” PPV on Sunday night, then Friday’s edition of “SmackDown” from Ottawa wasn’t going to change your mind. The show was bookended by a decent opening segment and closing sequence but was mediocre at best in-between. The show began with the members of the Straight Edge Society (minus the “mystery member”) in the ri...

‘Peep’ This: It’s About Time Christian Gets a Push
Posted on 19 May 2010 by Pete Copeland.
Christian has always been one of my favorites over the years – whether as a member of “The Brood” or teaming up with Edge for a “five second pose” (as a Mets fan, I particularly enjoyed the one in Boston…it’s worth looking up on YouTube) – “Captain Charisma” never fails to entertain, both in the ring and on the mic. And something has been gnawing at me…particularly ove...

Monday Night Rebound
Posted on 19 May 2010 by Pete Copeland.
Due to Monday Night Raw being commercial-free tonight, for my first blog, I decided to keep it in real-time. Well, sort of real-time. DVR sure does come in handy when nature calls. After being severely let down the last two Monday nights and coming off of a lackluster Friday Night SmackDown, I need a solid show tonight to convince me that shelling out almost 50 bucks for Sunday’s “Over ...

Out From Hiding
Posted on 5 May 2010 by Martin Foster.
I hope blogging is like riding a bike because it’s been a minute since I’ve posted something. Truthfully I don’t remember which show I left off with on my last blog . . . oh yeah, UFC 111 preview. Well, since then there have been some shows I’d be happy to share a few thoughts on, and I do mean a few. UFC 111 GSP dominated the one dimensional Dan Hardy. These Brits need to come with...

The Other March Madness Begins
Posted on 14 Mar 2010 by Martin Foster.
WEC 47 kicks off a March filled with MMA Over the last few weeks a couple of UFC fighters have made some less than intelligent statements. During a radio interview Frank Mir said he wanted to break Brock Lesnar’s neck and make him “the first fighter to die from octagon related injuries.” By now most know that Mir is obsessed with Lesnar like Glenn Close was with Michael Douglas in Fat...
