Welcome To My Wrestling Blog

This will be updated as and when I feel appropriate, which basically means if there is news worth reporting or a match/tv show/ppv worth previewing or reviewing, I will do so.

If nothing much is happening I will probably throw in the odd general round-up.

So lets see what happens!

'Saturday Nights Main Event' Returns Tonight

I used to love 'SNME' in the good old days. It will not feel as important now though, as back then there was only 4 PPV's, so it was like having a bonus PPV everytime it was on. Now, while it will still have a PPV feel - especially the main event - the emergence of 'Raw' & 'Smackdown' (rather than the old days of something like 'Wrestling Challenge' where a superstar merely destroyed a jobber) mean that seeing top stars go at it is now available weekly, so it means less.

Still, I am very much looking forward to it, and I think it will help build up the storylines on the 'Road To Wrestlemania'. To be honest, that is how I would used SNME now - 4 times a year, on the road to the big 4 PPV's of WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series and SummerSlam.

It is also good new - in my opinion - that Jim Ross will be commentating this evening. I have no idea if WWE plans on making this a permanent move with him, in as much as he will only commentate on PPV's? That could actually be an interesting idea, and I look forward to seeing what WWE plan on doing with this.

The full card for the two hour event :

Interpromotional Handicap Match Main Event
Randy Orton, Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio vs. John Cena and Triple H

Booker T vs. The Boogeyman

Street Fight
Shawn Michaels vs. Shane McMahon

Beer Drinking Contest
JBL vs. Steve Austin

Trish Stratus and Mickie James vs. Victoria and Candice Michelle

Other Recent News

Hulk Hogan and the rest of his family apparently did a great interview with Howard Stern recently... Shannon Moore and Chuck Palumbo have both recently re-signed with WWE... Rumour has it Mark Jindrak is also returning... The Junior Division, however, have all been released... WWE keeps posting the 'Tim White attempted suicide' videos... John Cena’s father, also John Cena, commentates for Chaotic Wrestling events under the moniker “Johnny Fabulous.”... Although Marty Jannetty said that WWE is working on resolving his legal issues, sources within WWE say that there are absolutely no plans to bring the wrestler back to television. Had he remained, the likelihood is that he would have turned on HBK as part of the McMahons storyline...
