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...

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...

Sure Didn’t See That One Coming!
Posted on 8 Jun 2010 by Pete Copeland.
I seriously thought about ditching the column today, in light of the horror show that was Monday Night Raw. It was a three-hour, “viewer’s choice” edition, hosted by the stars of the new “A-Team” movie. I was psyched for the bonus hour, but skeptical that the members of the WWE Universe would have much real say in what was presented in the ring. Among the gems offered over the fir...

Goin `Old School’ to Explain Undertaker’s Injury
Posted on 5 Jun 2010 by Pete Copeland.
The WWE received more bad news on the injury front this week as they learned that The Undertaker suffered a fractured orbital bone, broken nose, and a concussion in his match against Rey Mysterio on SmackDown last week. Coming off of the “Over the Limit” PPV a few weeks ago where Randy Orton dislocated his shoulder and Ted Di Biase was concussed after being slapped by R-Truth, the last th...

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...

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 ...
