Week In Wrestling Review (Feb 19th - Feb 25th)

Sorry I'm a little late, fell asleep while watching Impact the first time round and only watched the rest today. 1 PPV, 4 TV WWE shows (one of which is new) and TNA Impact. Straight to business this week.

WWE Smackdown (19th February)

Same as usual besides a few bumps along the road (such as the Maria/Matt Hardy storyline and Ziggler/Kane), I also think the whole thing with Mickie James and Michelle McCool has rode right off the cliff and I can't believe it is being continued only with the added ingredient of Vickie Guerrero. Where is Beth in all of this? The usual suspects where awesome as always (Punk/SES, Jericho, Edge, Taker). One week later though I can't really say anything jumps out at me as amazing. 

WWE Elimination Chamber (21st February)

This was like someone put bad tuna in my sandwich. I loved both the RAW and Smackdown Chambers, both where booked in very different ways meaning what one lacked the other had, every fan would be satisfied with the Chambers for that reason, and in this sandwich metaphor they are my bread. The tuna was most of the stuff in between. The Diva's Title Match that became a Divas Tag Match for no reason whatsoever, the forgettable at best Kane/McIntyre Intercontinental Title Match, the random appearance of William Regal that just seemed to be to get Edge on screen. The last-minute thrown-together Miz/MVP match though was really good and in this scenario I guess it is the rather nice cheese that is also in my sandwich. 

WWE Monday Night RAW (22nd February)

I thought this was a fun RAW with ShowMiz versus A Bull being my favourite part - that stuff was hilarious considering it was one of the few times the guest hosts were on screen. I believe Jewel also had the pretty good "My yodelling will destroy you" line, so they didn't do bad on reflection. Elsewhere, Jericho cut an awesome promo which almost made promo of the week ahead of CM Punk's promo at Elimination Chamber, but the promo that won that honour was Michaels/Undertaker, despite Taker looking a bit like a tranny due to all that burn ointment. I'm liking the Cena/Batista/Vince/Hart stuff, I can't wait to see what WWE has in store for Mania. In stark contrast, I am very meh about the Legacy stuff. Quick note about Batista: he has been EXCELLENT lately.

WWE NXT (23rd February)
This with an awesome show. From the camera angles to the talent, I liked everything about it. I say everything, I didn't like Michael Cole during the Chris Jericho/Daniel Bryan (did you hear every smark 'gasm? I did) because he went way over-the-top. I will continue to watch this every week.

**Side Note: Why are smarks and dirtsheets refusing to call Daniel Bryan by the name Daniel Bryan? It is retarded. I'm sure they think it makes them feel smarter than those "kids" who watch WWE, but it doesn't, it just make them look like twats.**

WWE Superstars (25th February)
Swagger and Regal versus Santino and Masters was good. Zack Ryder versus Primo was good. Luke Gallows had a squash match and some promo time, it was okay. Hart Dynasty versus Hardy, Maria and Khali was good. Nothing else to say.

TNA iMPACT! (25th February)
I like Abyss, I always have, and I am glad he is getting a nice push, but I don't think this is the right way to do it. If Abyss gets over from it, and that bit of Hulkamania every wrestler could do with rubs off on him, I'll stand up and admit I was wrong. Hogan should never put on wrestling boots again, but everyone has said that for a while. Other than there wasn't anything too bad here to be honest. TNA still has a lot to do in the way of production and presentation, but the raw materials of wrestling and general angles is okay.
