Was PPV Really Worth the “Money?”
Posted on 18 Jul 2010 by Pete Copeland.
What’s not to get pumped up for? Tonight’s PPV is being headlined by two MITB Ladder matches- one featuring eight Raw Superstars and the other featuring eight SmackDown superstars- and a steel cage match between WWE Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and John Cena. Spanish Announcers Hugo Savinovich and Carlos Cabrera are in the house! Place your bets on when their table bites the dust…...

Kofi’s Brewing: Kingston Ready to go at MITB.
Posted on 15 Jul 2010 by Pete Copeland.
WWE’s “Money in the Bank” pay-per-view is coming up on Sunday night live from Kansas City, and WWE Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston will be competing in one of two MITB Ladder matches against seven other Smackdown superstars. I had a chance to chat with Kofi about the event, his role as an “NXT” pro, and one of his career highlights. So… Big Show, Kane, your “good friend...

The Mid-Season Grades Are In
Posted on 5 Jul 2010 by Pete Copeland.
We’ve hit the halfway point of the year, so now is as good a time as any for Uncle Copes to hand out his midseason awards for the WWE. Categories have been chosen entirely at random and I’m the only one that voted…but it occurred to me that I’ve watched a whole lot of wrestling this year and that’s qualification enough, so without further ado… Wrestler of the Year: CM Punk ...

Nexus Mean-Streak Continues
Posted on 29 Jun 2010 by Pete Copeland.
Heading into last night’s edition of Monday Night Raw, I was looking forward to seeing what havoc the Season One NXT Rookies would wreak next. After last week’s vicious attack on WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon, the group had a week’s reprieve as the new, anonymous, General Manager of Raw said that they would be dealt with next week. The Nexus (as they are now known) leader Wade Barrett was ...

Oh No! Not the Limo Again!!
Posted on 15 Jun 2010 by Pete Copeland.
Last night’s edition of “Monday Night Raw” was not your typical “go home” show before a pay-per-view. Sure, a few more matches were (finally) booked for Sunday’s “Fatal 4 Way” PPV, and The Miz recaptured the United States Championship from R-Truth. But what every WWE fan wanted to know, and what was the subject of proverbial “water cooler” talk all week was how the NXT-invas...

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...

‘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...

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 ...
