This is a great debut. I could go with this guy teasing the audience for weeks. I don’t care how old school his gimmick is. Give him a perfume bottle to spray in people’s faces for all I care. He’s going to conquer the squared circle, the same way he conquered the world of dance.

Wrestlemania is but a few short weeks away – we’ve confirmed four matches thus far.

  • The Rock (c) vs. John Cena for WWE Championship
  • Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Jack Swagger for the World Heavyweight Championship
  • The Undertaker vs. CM Punk
  • The Shield vs. Sheamus, Randy Orton, & Ryback

There is still a lot to be decided! On tonight’s show:

  • Triple H will confront Brock Lesnar and their Wrestlemania match will be confirmed
  • There will be a Triple Threat Match for the IC title with Wade Barret (c), Chris Jericho, and the Miz.
  • And you know, the rest of the undercard will probably do something.

I’m hoping for some huge swerves and proverbial wrenches to be thrown in the dastardly of plans!

The Shield Strikes The Show: Is this a WrestleMania Match in the Making?

Punk/Undertaker and Lesnar/HHH may not be the only WrestleMania matches coming out of last night’s Raw Goes Old School event.

Following last night’s Raw, the above footage aired of the post-Raw proceedings on in the WWE Active portion of the WWE App. The Big Show in the ring following the show-closing Fatal Four-Way Main Event was surrounded and attacked by the Shield. The most impressive thing about the attack isn’t actually in the video. The boys in black manage to execute their triple powerbom on the Big Show.

Get caught with weed two weeks after starting your big push because it’s FRIDAYYYY! And as JBL would say, we fight on Friday Nights.

Time for another edition of WWE Smackdown, Live (on tape) from Biloxi, MS. Since the show is on tape, don’t expect much in the way of Jack Swagger news, Ole Bobby will address that Monday in his Raw Preview. Tonight’s show instead will feature El Campeon del Mundo, Alberto Del Rio responding to Zeb Colter’s State of the Union Address from Raw on Monday.

But that’s not all, a little birdie told me (ok it was the spoilers), that two matches worthy of our time will Main Event the show, Jack Swagger faces Randy Orton and Alberto Del Rio takes on Wade Barrett.

SmackDown Preview 1/11/12

Book a World title change at a TV Taping and spoil the results on your corporate website because it’s FRIDAY!

If you’ve made it this far without hearing the big result for this week’s SmackDown…well done.  You’ve made it this far, I won’t cut your legs out from under you at the finish line.

What I will tell you is tonight’s show will feature, the Rock, CM Punk, a World Heavyweight Championship match, Orton versus Cesaro, an alleged AJ Lee wardrobe malfunction, and Team Hell No in action. Sound like fun?

Shame your storyline ex-girlfriend as a trollup because she pushed you off a ladder and hooked up with a blonde adonis because it’s FRIDAYYYY!

Smackdown. Richmond. Tonight. Let’s go.

Tonight’s biggest hyped event is the return of Randy Orton to SmackDown. Word is he’ll be talking about his intentions for the upcoming Royal Rumble.  If a promo starts off the show, you’ve gotta think Orton won’t be alone opening the show on the microphone and if Booker T has been reading his guide to SmackDown GMing, he’ll figure out a way to book a tag match main event. Playa.

Monday on Raw (and Saturday for us DC WWE Universe-ites), a real man, Wade Barrett captured the Intercontinental Championship from the clutches of a wildcat, high-flying Kofi Kingston. Tonight, Kofi invokes the rematch clause and tries to take his title back.
