-Smackdown starts with The Big Show beating up on Joey Ryan & Jay Garland in a two-on-one handicap match. Show then gets on the microphone and says that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has no chance against him at Wrestlemania.

-Jesse & Festus defeat WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison in a non title match.

-A match between Big Daddy V and Balls Mahoney never finished because The Undertaker runs in and lays them both out. Taker then calls Edge out but Edge sends Zach Ryder, one of his associates, to "greet" the Undertaker instead.

-Undertaker wipes the floor with Zack Ryder to close out the show.

I thought Big Show was very good on the mic. He even mentioned Oscar De la Hoya and Mayweather's $20 million Wrestlemania paycheck.



Is MVP ever going to win a match again?

I thought the Palumbo/Noble match was really solid. Definately better then I thought it would be.


I thought it made no sense to have the WWE Tag Champs, The Miz and John Morrison lose to nobodies when they have a title defense this Tuesday on ECW against Tommy Dreamer and Colin Delaney. A win for Miz and Morrison would have gave them more momentum going into that match and if Dreamer and Delaney were to beat them, the win would mean a whole lot more. If everyone can beat your tag team champions, why are they the tag team champions?

WWE.com Provides News on Other Organziations

~WWE.com has recently started reporting news regarding other wrestling promotions such as TNA and ROH.

This is a big shock since WWE generally acts as if they are the only wrestling organization that exists and rarely ever make any mention of other brands.

It sounds like a good idea, but I'm sure a large portion of WWE fans don't follow wrestling outside of the WWE, so news on other promotions may not be that well received.

TNA Impact Goes Live

~According to a gerweck.net article, TNA is planning on airing a live episode of their weekly TV show, TNA Impact, on Thursday, March 27th. Impact is usually taped on Mondays and footage from that night's taping airs Thursday.

I think live shows definately have a better feel to them then pre-taped ones. Nothing is cut out or edited and you get to see and hear the crowd's real reaction to what's going on. Hopefully, this won't be a one time thing for TNA.

TNA Tag Team To Be Featured on MTV

~TNA wrestlers, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, will be featured on an upcoming episode of MTV's Made, reports tnawrestling.com. The tag team, also known as the Motor City Machine Guns, will help coach a high school student into becoming a pro wrestler.

Here's a description of the episode from an MTV press release:
"Chris Hendricks is a self-described "choir queer" who's sick of being stereotyped as weak just because he's gay. He wants to be made into a larger-than-life pro wrestler so he can prove to everyone that he's tough enough to take a punch.

With help from his coaches, Motor City Machine Guns Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin from TNA Wrestling, Chris will bulk up and learn how to throw a punch and take a fall. But with only six weeks of training before his first professional match, it's anyone's guess whether or not he'll be ready to rumble."



The show is scheduled for Saturday March 8 at 12 pm ET.
